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.
