gap on Bournemouth. On Sunday, Arsenal welcome Chelsea. Tune in

:00:00.:00:00.

tomorrow. Leah here with Friday's Newsround

:00:00.:00:00.

keep watching because we've got the latest on the mega storm

:00:00.:00:09.

stopping traffic in the US. And, it couldn't get

:00:10.:00:11.

any cuter could it? First this morning, were children

:00:12.:00:13.

forced to work to make the parts for your smart phone,

:00:14.:00:27.

tablets or other devices? It's happening in parts of Africa

:00:28.:00:30.

right now and campaigners say that big tech companies aren't

:00:31.:00:34.

doing enough to stop it. To make smartphone batteries you

:00:35.:00:50.

need cobalt. A few places you can find it is deep underground in

:00:51.:00:54.

Central Africa. Many children there are forced to work in mines to make

:00:55.:00:59.

money for their families because the country is very poor. There are not

:01:00.:01:02.

enough checks by the government to stop this happening. Mining can be

:01:03.:01:07.

extremely dangerous and children often work long hours in cramped

:01:08.:01:11.

conditions without proper protective gear. In many cases, they literally

:01:12.:01:18.

dig out tunnels and minds by hand deep underground. One miner told us

:01:19.:01:23.

that the mine he duck was 50 metres deep and that it took him 15 minutes

:01:24.:01:31.

to get from the bottom to the top. A campaign group has been

:01:32.:01:34.

investigating and says phone companies aren't doing enough to

:01:35.:01:38.

make sure the cobalt in their phones hasn't come from children working in

:01:39.:01:44.

mines. They say it includes very big smartphone companies. The companys

:01:45.:01:52.

says they have a zero tolerance policy but now they are being asked

:01:53.:01:56.

to check whether parts for their batteries come from.

:01:57.:01:59.

In the north east of America people have been told to prepare

:02:00.:02:02.

Some 50 million people could be affected by the "monster storm,"

:02:03.:02:05.

which is expected to cause terrible blizzards and white-out conditions

:02:06.:02:08.

in some states and bring traffic to a standstill.

:02:09.:02:10.

As much as two feet of snow is expected in some areas.

:02:11.:02:18.

We will cook and played board games all weekend. It should be fun. I am

:02:19.:02:27.

providing -- buying provisions. We will hunker down. I have been living

:02:28.:02:32.

here for 40 years and nothing is different. Sometimes the storm

:02:33.:02:36.

doesn't come, but in case it does we are preparing.

:02:37.:02:38.

From snow to rain - if you don't like it

:02:39.:02:40.

when the weather's wet imagine how you'd feel if it rained every single

:02:41.:02:43.

Well, that's what happened in this village in Pembrokeshire in Wales.

:02:44.:02:47.

It was wet for 85 days in a row very nearly matching the record

:02:48.:02:50.

Luckily, this week the bad weather broke and they finally had

:02:51.:02:55.

So we asked some children living there what they thought

:02:56.:02:58.

We feel happy because we can go out to now and have exercise but we feel

:02:59.:03:11.

disappointed because we wanted to break the record of 89 days. Yeah,

:03:12.:03:18.

it would have been nice to break the record and have this little town

:03:19.:03:25.

popular. I was looking forward to us being in beginners book of records.

:03:26.:03:32.

I really thought we would beat the record but unfortunately we did not.

:03:33.:03:37.

We can go outside again and play, but it's just started again so it's

:03:38.:03:39.

quite irritating. To football now and are

:03:40.:03:41.

Manchester United be There have been reports from France

:03:42.:03:43.

that a meeting took place in Paris last week between the club

:03:44.:03:47.

and Bayern Munich manager Pep Guardiola about the possibility

:03:48.:03:50.

of him replacing the current boss But Manchester United say

:03:51.:03:53.

that the story isn't true. Comedian Jo Brand starts her sport

:03:54.:04:00.

relief challenge today - She'll walk the equivalent

:04:01.:04:03.

of a marathon a day over 6 days. Jo is doing the walk to raise

:04:04.:04:13.

awareness about the work sport relief does for mental health

:04:14.:04:16.

and issues that affect women Three baby otters are being cared

:04:17.:04:18.

for at a wildlife hospital in Florida in America

:04:19.:04:25.

after being found at a building site when builders were digging

:04:26.:04:28.

up a driveway. The five-week-old pups are doing

:04:29.:04:31.

well but still need six feeds The tiny patients aren't expected

:04:32.:04:33.

to be able to survive But they're being closely

:04:34.:04:38.

looked after now. I'll be back at 8.15
