Afternoon folks, Martin here with all the days top stories. | 0:00:05 | 0:00:07 | |
Coming up: Astronaut Tim Peake speaks to school kids from the ISS. | 0:00:07 | 0:00:11 | |
Plus: We bring you a Penguin on a treadmill. | 0:00:11 | 0:00:14 | |
You are watching Newsround after all. | 0:00:14 | 0:00:20 | |
First up, a big announcement is expected from the British | 0:00:27 | 0:00:29 | |
Government today after important meetings last night | 0:00:29 | 0:00:31 | |
and this morning. | 0:00:31 | 0:00:33 | |
Prime Minister David Cameron wants people to decide whether the UK | 0:00:33 | 0:00:34 | |
should stay in or leave an important club of countries in Europe. | 0:00:38 | 0:00:41 | |
Let's take a really quick look at what it's all about. | 0:00:41 | 0:00:44 | |
The European Union in 60 seconds: | 0:00:44 | 0:00:46 | |
In 1973, people dressed like this, | 0:00:46 | 0:00:50 | |
Slade ruled the charts, | 0:00:50 | 0:00:52 | |
and Newsround was only one year old. | 0:00:52 | 0:00:54 | |
And that's when the UK joined what is now known | 0:00:54 | 0:00:58 | |
as the European Union, or EU. | 0:00:58 | 0:00:59 | |
It's a club of 28 countries from around Europe who work together. | 0:00:59 | 0:01:02 | |
This is its symbol. | 0:01:02 | 0:01:03 | |
It's got its own Parliament, | 0:01:03 | 0:01:04 | |
its own Anthem, | 0:01:04 | 0:01:10 | |
and its own money, the Euro, used by most of its members, | 0:01:10 | 0:01:13 | |
but not the UK. | 0:01:13 | 0:01:14 | |
Countries join the EU because they think it will help | 0:01:14 | 0:01:17 | |
bring Europe closer together. | 0:01:17 | 0:01:18 | |
But now, British Prime Minister David Cameron has promised to hold | 0:01:18 | 0:01:20 | |
a vote on whether or not the UK should stay in or leave the EU. | 0:01:20 | 0:01:24 | |
Supporters of the EU think the UK is stronger as part of it. | 0:01:24 | 0:01:28 | |
That's because we buy and sell lots of things | 0:01:28 | 0:01:30 | |
with European countries. | 0:01:30 | 0:01:31 | |
People who want to leave the EU say it forces too many rules on Britain. | 0:01:31 | 0:01:35 | |
They say leaving will give British people more control over | 0:01:35 | 0:01:40 | |
issues like immigration. | 0:01:40 | 0:01:41 | |
It will be up to adults around the UK to decide what's best | 0:01:41 | 0:01:44 | |
when they vote this summer. | 0:01:44 | 0:01:47 | |
Now, although children won't be able to take part in that vote, | 0:01:47 | 0:01:50 | |
the decision made will have a big impact on your lives - | 0:01:50 | 0:01:53 | |
and Newsround will be keeping you up to date all the way. | 0:01:53 | 0:01:56 | |
For now, you can find out all you need to know online | 0:01:56 | 0:01:59 | |
about the UK's vote on the European Union by checking | 0:01:59 | 0:02:01 | |

Next, British astronaut Tim Peake may be busy carrying out science | 0:02:04 | 0:02:08 | |
experiments on the International Space Station, but he's found time | 0:02:08 | 0:02:11 | |
to speak to some school children in Bristol | 0:02:11 | 0:02:15 | |
and answer their questions. | 0:02:15 | 0:02:19 | |
They used special radio equipment to talk to him. | 0:02:19 | 0:02:22 | |
So what did the pupils think about it? | 0:02:22 | 0:02:24 | |
It was an amazing experience. | 0:02:24 | 0:02:25 | |
I feel so honoured to be part of the panel. | 0:02:25 | 0:02:27 | |
I'm still trying to get over it, it's just such an amazing experience | 0:02:27 | 0:02:30 | |
and I'm so thankful I got selected. | 0:02:30 | 0:02:32 | |
I still haven't fully comprehended what's just happened, | 0:02:32 | 0:02:34 | |
to be honest. | 0:02:34 | 0:02:37 | |
Best school day I've had so far. | 0:02:37 | 0:02:39 | |
It was truly amazing and I will | 0:02:39 | 0:02:41 | |
follow my dreams, I will. | 0:02:41 | 0:02:42 | |
I'm still trying to get over how mind-blowing it was to be able | 0:02:42 | 0:02:45 | |
to have contact with someone on the International Space Station. | 0:02:45 | 0:02:50 | |
Next - If you're the oldest in your family, do you remember | 0:02:50 | 0:02:53 | |
what it was like when you met your brother or sister | 0:02:53 | 0:02:56 | |
for the very first time? | 0:02:56 | 0:02:57 | |
Here's Fabrizio's story. | 0:02:57 | 0:03:01 | |
For five years I've been the only child, but today | 0:03:01 | 0:03:05 | |
it's going to change. | 0:03:05 | 0:03:09 | |
I'm excited. | 0:03:09 | 0:03:12 | |
The baby in my mummy's tummy! | 0:03:12 | 0:03:15 | |
It's a funny picture but this is the baby's nose, | 0:03:15 | 0:03:21 | |
and he's waving to us. | 0:03:21 | 0:03:25 | |
Oh! | 0:03:25 | 0:03:27 | |
Yeah! | 0:03:27 | 0:03:31 | |
I've got a baby, baby brother! | 0:03:31 | 0:03:36 | |
I'm going to hug him and I'm going to be so happy | 0:03:36 | 0:03:39 | |
I'm going to cry. | 0:03:39 | 0:03:47 | |
Hi, Dad. | 0:03:48 | 0:03:50 | |
Where is he? | 0:03:50 | 0:03:53 | |
We've got the Spiderman lunchbox incase he's hungry. | 0:03:53 | 0:04:00 | |
Hello! | 0:04:01 | 0:04:02 | |
Hi, Paolo. | 0:04:02 | 0:04:09 | |
Did you know I'm your big brother? | 0:04:09 | 0:04:13 | |
HE SINGS | 0:04:13 | 0:04:22 | |
Paolo, you're so cute. | 0:04:22 | 0:04:29 | |
And for more amazing siblings, | 0:04:29 | 0:04:31 | |
'Brothers and Sisters, A Newsround Special' is online now, | 0:04:31 | 0:04:36 | |
so check it out. | 0:04:36 | 0:04:37 | |
Next, to Norway where competitors in the Winter Youth Olympics have | 0:04:37 | 0:04:41 | |
been taking to the snow and ice. | 0:04:41 | 0:04:43 | |
Yesterday was a great day for team GB, and Hayley was there to see | 0:04:43 | 0:04:47 | |
Ashleigh Pittaway win gold in the skeleton bob. | 0:04:47 | 0:04:52 | |
Ashley look at your gold medal. | 0:04:56 | 0:04:57 | |
Fantastic news, how do you feel? | 0:04:57 | 0:05:00 | |
Very good, I'm very excited and very blown away. | 0:05:00 | 0:05:03 | |
I'm still very pumped. | 0:05:03 | 0:05:07 | |
I bet you are. | 0:05:07 | 0:05:08 | |
But you won by a mile, so what is the secret | 0:05:08 | 0:05:11 | |
to your success? | 0:05:11 | 0:05:12 | |
I've got a lot of experience. | 0:05:12 | 0:05:14 | |
I slid the longest. | 0:05:14 | 0:05:15 | |
Also the start is very important, and I'm quite good at the start. | 0:05:15 | 0:05:18 | |
You must be quite good, yeah, | 0:05:18 | 0:05:20 | |
to get the gold medal. | 0:05:20 | 0:05:21 | |
What is next for you? | 0:05:21 | 0:05:24 | |
Next is the World Cup and I'm hoping for a | 0:05:24 | 0:05:27 | |
medal at the Olympics. | 0:05:27 | 0:05:31 | |
Finally, it wouldn't be Newsround without a penguin, | 0:05:35 | 0:05:38 | |
waddling on a treadmill. | 0:05:38 | 0:05:40 | |
Cute as it looks, there's serious science behind it. | 0:05:40 | 0:05:42 | |
Researchers studying king penguins, including this little guy, | 0:05:42 | 0:05:45 | |
found the fatter they are, the more wobbly they are when they waddle, | 0:05:45 | 0:05:49 | |
which makes life more dangerous for them in then wild. | 0:05:49 | 0:05:54 | |
That's all for now. | 0:05:54 | 0:05:55 | |
Newsround's back again just before 2. | 0:05:55 | 0:06:01 |
