Hi, guys. This is Newsround, brought to you live just after five | :00:20. | :00:27. | |
by the team here at Newsround HQ in London. You're with Ore and Sonali. | :00:27. | :00:31. | |
Sit back and soak in all the stories we have coming your way. | :00:31. | :00:34. | |
Including: what Horrible Histories, this music maestro and your mobile | :00:34. | :00:38. | |
phone have got in common. And we've got our eyes on the falling | :00:38. | :00:41. | |
satellite that could reach Earth in the next 24 hours. | :00:41. | :00:44. | |
But first - barbaric and disturbing - that's how some doctors and | :00:44. | :00:47. | |
politicians have been describing it. Two kids in Preston have been | :00:47. | :00:50. | |
filmed taking part in a fight inside a cage, watched by a live | :00:50. | :00:55. | |
audience of hundreds of grown-ups. The organisers say there's nothing | :00:55. | :00:58. | |
wrong with it, and what they were doing wasn't cage fighting, but | :00:58. | :01:04. | |
mixed martial arts. This story has kicked up quite a fuss. | :01:04. | :01:07. | |
Being led out like a champion fighter as crowds cheer him on, | :01:07. | :01:11. | |
this is nine-year-old Kian. But this video of him wrestling an | :01:11. | :01:17. | |
eight-year-old boy has stirred up an angry reaction from some | :01:17. | :01:22. | |
children's charities, doctors and politicians. Those in charge of the | :01:22. | :01:26. | |
event, though, say that the boys weren't in any danger. | :01:26. | :01:32. | |
They say no kicking or punching was allowed and Kian's parents are | :01:32. | :01:35. | |
completely happy with him taking part. If he wasn't in this | :01:35. | :01:38. | |
environment what would he be doing? Stood on a street corner causing | :01:38. | :01:41. | |
havoc or doing something else. He has choose to do the sport. Have | :01:41. | :01:47. | |
you choose to do it? Yeah. There's been no action taken by police | :01:47. | :01:51. | |
because they say no one had broken the law. But there are still | :01:51. | :01:55. | |
worries over whether it's right to put kids in this environment. | :01:55. | :01:59. | |
feels very barbaric and I know there are concerns about children | :01:59. | :02:05. | |
that young doing a sport like that. Kids charity the NSPCC warned | :02:05. | :02:09. | |
parents against letting their kids do something like this. According | :02:09. | :02:11. | |
to the British Medical Association which represents doctors, the | :02:11. | :02:15. | |
scenes are disturbing and the kids should have been wearing head | :02:15. | :02:17. | |
guards. They say there are other safer sports that can teach | :02:17. | :02:21. | |
children discipline and help them keep fit. | :02:21. | :02:25. | |
Not everyone agrees. I thought it was good what they | :02:25. | :02:29. | |
were doing. There was no striking involved, so I didn't really feel | :02:29. | :02:38. | |
they needed to wear protective equipment. It's no different from | :02:38. | :02:41. | |
judo and so yeah, this is very child-friendly. It teaches them | :02:41. | :02:45. | |
balance. It gets them in to a discipline. | :02:45. | :02:48. | |
Kian plans to fight again and the organisers have said there are more | :02:48. | :02:53. | |
events planned. Last-minute appeals to save a man | :02:53. | :02:56. | |
in America who'd been sentenced to death for murder failed last night. | :02:56. | :03:01. | |
Yesterday we told you about Troy Davis. More than 20 years ago he | :03:01. | :03:04. | |
was found guilty of killing a police officer. He was put to death | :03:04. | :03:07. | |
after a final appeal from his lawyers failed. More than a million | :03:07. | :03:10. | |
people around the world had campaigned to stop that happening | :03:10. | :03:13. | |
and Troy Davis himself had always claimed he was innocent of murder. | :03:13. | :03:17. | |
We know the death penalty is a subject that really divides people. | :03:17. | :03:20. | |
If you want to know more about it we've got more info online. | :03:20. | :03:23. | |
What happens if you team a rapper with the writer of one of CBBC's | :03:23. | :03:28. | |
best loved shows? You get a new idea to get more kids into reading. | :03:28. | :03:31. | |
Horrible Histories author Terry Deary has written a new story, not | :03:31. | :03:37. | |
for books but for your mobile phone. It's called the Perfect Poison | :03:37. | :03:42. | |
Pills Plot - 16 chapters, all the same length as a text message. He's | :03:42. | :03:45. | |
got Chipmunk on board to help promote it. The rapper reckons kids | :03:45. | :03:48. | |
are more likely to read on their gadgets than turning the pages of a | :03:48. | :03:52. | |
book. Now to the spacecraft on a | :03:52. | :03:55. | |
collision course with Earth! Scientists are warning that the | :03:55. | :03:58. | |
satellite is going to crash back down on our planet tomorrow. But | :03:58. | :04:01. | |
before you run for your satellite- proof bunker just know that the | :04:01. | :04:08. | |
chances of anyone actually being hit are pretty slim. | :04:08. | :04:11. | |
This may not look like much but it's actually a satellite hurtling | :04:11. | :04:15. | |
out of control towards earth captured on film by an amateur | :04:15. | :04:20. | |
astronomer. The six-ton space craft is due to crash land tomorrow | :04:20. | :04:26. | |
evening. It was launched in 1991 by the | :04:26. | :04:29. | |
Discovery space shuttle and has been out of action for the last six | :04:29. | :04:33. | |
years. Now gravity is dragging it back to earth. | :04:33. | :04:37. | |
NASA scientists are trying to track its route but because it's | :04:37. | :04:40. | |
travelling at 5 miles a second it's moving so fast that they can't | :04:40. | :04:43. | |
guarantee where it will land until a couple of hours before it gets | :04:43. | :04:51. | |
here. Right now that could be almost anywhere on earth. | :04:51. | :04:54. | |
It encompasses the entire world. Although most of the satellite will | :04:54. | :05:00. | |
burn up in the atmosphere, 26 parts could survive and that's creating | :05:00. | :05:04. | |
some dramatic headlines. NASA says a massive satellite is headed for | :05:04. | :05:08. | |
earth in a crash landing. The good news is that NASA says no | :05:08. | :05:13. | |
one has ever been hurt by objects re-entering from space and the | :05:13. | :05:18. | |
chances of anyone being hit are about one in 3,000. So pretty | :05:18. | :05:21. | |
unlikey. If you find any of it after it's landed NASA says not to | :05:21. | :05:24. | |
touch it. It could be sharp, it could be | :05:24. | :05:29. | |
still hot from re-entry perhaps and you could injure yourself. It's | :05:29. | :05:32. | |
also remember the property of the US Government so you are not | :05:32. | :05:36. | |
allowed to take it and sell it on ebay. Scientists will be watching | :05:36. | :05:40. | |
the incoming satellite and probably secretly hoping it plunges quietly | :05:40. | :05:45. | |
into the sea. Still 94 days until Christmas and | :05:45. | :05:52. | |
the Time Lord himself has already started counting down. Today we've | :05:52. | :05:55. | |
heard which famous faces will be appearing in the Doctor Who | :05:55. | :06:00. | |
Christmas special. They include Outnumbered mum Claire Skinner and | :06:00. | :06:04. | |
comedians Bill Bailey, Arabella Weir and Alexander Armstrong. | :06:04. | :06:08. | |
We're heading to the other side of the world now for the story of an | :06:08. | :06:11. | |
amazing Amazon rescue. When this couple got stuck in the rainforest | :06:11. | :06:14. | |
in South America, miles from the nearest city they did what anyone | :06:14. | :06:17. | |
would do - call home. But in this case home was 5,000 miles away in | :06:17. | :06:24. | |
Eastbourne on Britain's south coast. This is where Bruce and Lesley's | :06:24. | :06:28. | |
motorhome ended up when they tried to cross a wobbly bridge in a | :06:28. | :06:31. | |
remote spot of the Amazon rainforest. They had been | :06:31. | :06:34. | |
travelling around south America for almost five years, but at this | :06:34. | :06:37. | |
point of the journey they hadn't seen anyone for days and the chance | :06:37. | :06:42. | |
of being found at the bottom of the ravine was slim. It looked like a | :06:42. | :06:47. | |
really good bridge and it just collapsed and the vehicle went down. | :06:47. | :06:50. | |
That's about it, we couldn't continue our journey and the nice | :06:50. | :06:55. | |
marines came and rescued us. Stuck 200 miles away from the nearest | :06:55. | :06:59. | |
city, they knew their only chance of rescue rested on their satellite | :06:59. | :07:04. | |
phone. They called relatives 5,000 miles away at home in Eastbourne | :07:04. | :07:08. | |
and told them their exact location. Their family contacted Dover | :07:08. | :07:12. | |
coastguards who alerted Falmouth coastguards in Cornwall before they | :07:12. | :07:15. | |
passed on the message to the Brazilian Navy. Soon a helicopter | :07:15. | :07:19. | |
was sent to the rescue. The couple weren't hurt and say they're glad | :07:19. | :07:25. | |
to be safe. As for the motormoment, that might | :07:25. | :07:28. | |
need a helping hand. Let's finish with a happy ending | :07:28. | :07:32. | |
and a fantastic footy comeback. That's Owen Hargreaves in the red | :07:32. | :07:36. | |
of Manchester United. But last night he wore the blue of Man City | :07:36. | :07:41. | |
for the first time and started in scoring style. Because of injuries, | :07:41. | :07:43. | |
the England midfielder only played six minutes of first-team football | :07:43. | :07:49. | |
in the past three years. But what a way to mark his return. The goal | :07:49. | :07:51. |
