Newsround here with your top stories this Tuesday. | :00:00. | :00:00. | |
I'm Leah, with some of this on the way. | :00:07. | :00:09. | |
Britain's number one is fighting it out on the court in France. | :00:10. | :00:12. | |
First, how should we get the energy to power our homes, | :00:13. | :00:27. | |
It's a huge question which will affect all of our lives. | :00:28. | :00:31. | |
Some people think that something called 'fracking' is | :00:32. | :00:33. | |
Now it's been decided that it can go ahead in one North | :00:34. | :00:38. | |
It's being seen as an important decision because it's the first time | :00:39. | :00:43. | |
anyone has said yes to fracking for five years, but some | :00:44. | :00:46. | |
Fracking works by drilling thousands of metres underground. | :00:47. | :00:53. | |
The aim is to reach tiny pockets or cracks in the rocks where gas | :00:54. | :00:58. | |
A mixture of water, sand and chemicals is pumped down. | :00:59. | :01:04. | |
The sand widens these cracks, releasing the gas which flows back | :01:05. | :01:08. | |
The water containing the gas is then taken away in tankers. | :01:09. | :01:15. | |
So, what do the supporters of fracking say? | :01:16. | :01:19. | |
The way the UK gets its energy currently won't carry on forever, | :01:20. | :01:22. | |
Currently, most of our gas comes from other countries and the UK | :01:23. | :01:28. | |
Government says that is too expensive and not secure. | :01:29. | :01:32. | |
It could also provide thousands of new jobs. | :01:33. | :01:35. | |
So, what do people against fracking say? | :01:36. | :01:38. | |
Some people are worried about fracking because they think | :01:39. | :01:41. | |
Countries like France, Germany and parts of | :01:42. | :01:45. | |
Campaigners say chemicals from the fracking could get | :01:46. | :01:49. | |
They also think there will be other environmental problems | :01:50. | :01:54. | |
It is thought two small earthquakes of 1.5 and 2.3 magnitude | :01:55. | :01:58. | |
in the Blackpool area in 2011 were caused by fracking. | :01:59. | :02:01. | |
The companies doing the fracking say they are doing things to make it | :02:02. | :02:07. | |
safe and this has been proven in other parts of the world, | :02:08. | :02:10. | |
but campaigners think the money should be invested in renewable | :02:11. | :02:14. | |
sources of energy, such as wind power, instead. | :02:15. | :02:19. | |
Also today, Britain's number one, Andy Murray, | :02:20. | :02:21. | |
is through to the second round of the French Open after | :02:22. | :02:24. | |
Andy came from two sets down, narrowly avoiding a first | :02:25. | :02:31. | |
Hopefully, the next round is a little easier. | :02:32. | :02:35. | |
Andy faces a wildcard player ranked 164th in the world. | :02:36. | :02:40. | |
Now, how do you feel about tidying up? | :02:41. | :02:42. | |
If you don't enjoy it, there might be a way | :02:43. | :02:44. | |
Two school teachers in London have made a song that's become a hit | :02:45. | :02:50. | |
There is nothing better than playing and making a mess, | :02:51. | :02:58. | |
but someone always has to tidy up afterwards. | :02:59. | :03:00. | |
Here, at this school in London, this is how they do it. | :03:01. | :03:04. | |
# Put them in the pots. | :03:05. | :03:14. | |
They play a Tidy Up Rhumba song that tells them what to do. | :03:15. | :03:20. | |
Do you like the Tidy Up Rhumba? | :03:21. | :03:25. | |
# All the resources back in the trays! | :03:26. | :03:36. | |
The song was written by two primary school teachers as a way | :03:37. | :03:39. | |
It has now been viewed more than two million times on YouTube. | :03:40. | :03:49. | |
When it got to a million, I was like, jaw-droppingly | :03:50. | :03:54. | |
I couldn't believe it and I was thinking, there | :03:55. | :04:01. | |
Christalla and George said they hope the song will help children | :04:02. | :04:08. | |
have fun keeping their classrooms and homes tidy. | :04:09. | :04:11. | |
Finally, little kids around the country could be having a very | :04:12. | :04:20. | |
I have a very special story tonight. Would you like me to read it to you, | :04:21. | :04:35. | |
all the way from space? Yes, British astronaut Tim Peake has | :04:36. | :04:39. | |
recorded a bedtime story from space! It's been specially | :04:40. | :04:42. | |
made for CBeebies. Here's Tim reading the story | :04:43. | :04:43. | |
while floating on board That's all from me. | :04:44. | :04:45. | |
