Good morning. | 0:00:02 | 0:00:05 | |
It's Thursday, I'm Ayshah, and here's what's | 0:00:05 | 0:00:06 | |
coming up on Newsround. | 0:00:06 | 0:00:08 | |
The bats taking over an Australian town. | 0:00:08 | 0:00:10 | |
And. | 0:00:10 | 0:00:11 | |
Winnie The Pooh turns 90, with a new book. | 0:00:11 | 0:00:18 | |
First, this morning. | 0:00:23 | 0:00:27 | |
Prime Minister David Cameron wants people to decide | 0:00:27 | 0:00:28 | |
whether the UK should stay in, or leave an important club | 0:00:29 | 0:00:32 | |
of countries in Europe called the European Union. | 0:00:32 | 0:00:34 | |
Let's take a really quick look at what it's all about. | 0:00:34 | 0:00:37 | |
The European Union in 60 seconds. | 0:00:37 | 0:00:39 | |
In 1973, people dressed like this. | 0:00:39 | 0:00:41 | |
Slade ruled the charts. | 0:00:41 | 0:00:44 | |
And Newsround was only one-year-old. | 0:00:44 | 0:00:46 | |
That is when the UK joined what is now known | 0:00:46 | 0:00:48 | |
as the European Union, or EU. | 0:00:48 | 0:00:52 | |
It's a club of 28 countries from around Europe who work together. | 0:00:52 | 0:00:55 | |
This is its symbol. | 0:00:55 | 0:00:56 | |
It has its own Parliament, its own anthem, and its own money, | 0:00:56 | 0:01:01 | |
the euro, used by most of its numbers, but not the UK. | 0:01:01 | 0:01:06 | |
Countries want to join the EU because they think it will help | 0:01:06 | 0:01:09 | |
bring Europe closer together. | 0:01:09 | 0:01:11 | |
Now, Britain's Prime Minister David Cameron has promised a vote | 0:01:11 | 0:01:14 | |
on whether the UK should stay in, or leave the EU. | 0:01:14 | 0:01:18 | |
Supporters of the EU think the UK is stronger as part of it. | 0:01:18 | 0:01:21 | |
That is because we buy and sell lots of things with | 0:01:21 | 0:01:23 | |
European countries. | 0:01:23 | 0:01:25 | |
People who want to leave the EU say it forces too many rules on Britain. | 0:01:25 | 0:01:29 | |
They say leaving will give British people more control over | 0:01:29 | 0:01:31 | |
issues like immigration. | 0:01:31 | 0:01:35 | |
It will be up to adults around the UK to decide what is best | 0:01:35 | 0:01:38 | |
when they vote this summer. | 0:01:38 | 0:01:39 | |
So, that's what the EU or European Union is. | 0:01:39 | 0:01:42 | |
But, do you have any questions about the vote or the union itself? | 0:01:42 | 0:01:45 | |
If so, then we want you to get in touch. | 0:01:45 | 0:01:48 | |
BBC Europe expert Katya Adler will be here this afternoon | 0:01:48 | 0:01:50 | |
to answer as many of your questions as she can, so, go online now. | 0:01:50 | 0:02:00 | |
It wouldn't be Newsround without a quick round-up of some top | 0:02:07 | 0:02:10 | |
animal stories today. | 0:02:10 | 0:02:11 | |
To Dallas Zoo in Texas in America where they're celebrating the birth | 0:02:11 | 0:02:13 | |
of a new African elephant weighing a whopping 79 kilograms. | 0:02:13 | 0:02:16 | |
Keepers say the calf, who's still not been named, | 0:02:16 | 0:02:18 | |
will now spend time bonding with his mother and the rest | 0:02:18 | 0:02:21 | |
of the other elephants, before he goes on show | 0:02:21 | 0:02:23 | |
to the public. | 0:02:23 | 0:02:24 | |
Staying in the US, three one-month-old wolf puppies have | 0:02:24 | 0:02:26 | |
also made their debut at a zoo near Chicago. | 0:02:26 | 0:02:28 | |
The Mexican grey wolf puppies were born last month, | 0:02:28 | 0:02:30 | |
but have just emerged from their den. | 0:02:30 | 0:02:32 | |
Two other pups born in the same litter have been placed with a wild | 0:02:32 | 0:02:35 | |
wolf pack in the state of Arizona, as part of a conservation effort | 0:02:35 | 0:02:38 | |
to save the species in the wild. | 0:02:38 | 0:02:40 | |
And, have a look at these stunning glow fish. | 0:02:40 | 0:02:42 | |
These bio-flourescent fish have been specially bred to glow | 0:02:42 | 0:02:44 | |
different colours. | 0:02:44 | 0:02:45 | |
They were originally created, about ten years ago, | 0:02:45 | 0:02:47 | |
by scientists who wanted to detect pollutants in the water where | 0:02:47 | 0:02:52 | |
the fish's scales would glimmer if the water contained toxins. | 0:02:52 | 0:02:54 | |
Now, having bred and inherited the bright colours, they're proving | 0:02:54 | 0:02:57 | |
hugely popular at pet stores in California in America. | 0:02:57 | 0:03:04 | |
To Australia, and the town plagued with bats! | 0:03:04 | 0:03:07 | |
More than 100,000 of them, known as flying foxes, | 0:03:07 | 0:03:11 | |
have made their home in the coastal town of Bateman Bay, | 0:03:11 | 0:03:14 | |
south of Sydney. | 0:03:14 | 0:03:16 | |
They're a protected species, so, getting them to move isn't easy. | 0:03:16 | 0:03:19 | |
But locals want them gone because they say they're | 0:03:19 | 0:03:21 | |
causing lots of mess. | 0:03:21 | 0:03:24 | |
This is the biggest, this is unprecedented, | 0:03:24 | 0:03:26 | |
it has never been seen in these numbers. | 0:03:26 | 0:03:29 | |
The bats came, and they are just out of control. | 0:03:29 | 0:03:34 | |
We just can't do anything because of them. | 0:03:34 | 0:03:36 | |
We can't open windows, we can't use the clothes line. | 0:03:36 | 0:03:41 | |
It is just... | 0:03:41 | 0:03:42 | |
You can't study because the noise goes constantly, | 0:03:42 | 0:03:44 | |
you can't concentrate. | 0:03:44 | 0:03:45 | |
It's not fun. | 0:03:45 | 0:03:49 | |
Tennis now. | 0:03:49 | 0:03:51 | |
And Andy Murray survived a huge scare in the second | 0:03:51 | 0:03:53 | |
round of the French Open, losing eight games in row. | 0:03:53 | 0:03:57 | |
The match went to five sets, with Britain's number one finally | 0:03:57 | 0:04:00 | |
defeating Mathias Bourgue, ranked 164th in the world, | 0:04:00 | 0:04:02 | |
and book his place in the third round in Paris. | 0:04:02 | 0:04:08 | |
I started the match pretty good. | 0:04:08 | 0:04:10 | |
And then, yes, just lost my way. | 0:04:10 | 0:04:13 | |
Hopefully, that doesn't happen again throughout the tournament. | 0:04:13 | 0:04:15 | |
I am hitting the ball well in practice. | 0:04:15 | 0:04:18 | |
Obviously, had perfect preparation, really. | 0:04:18 | 0:04:22 | |
Yes, the matches aren't going to get any easier. | 0:04:22 | 0:04:26 | |
So, if you have those drop-offs against higher ranked or more | 0:04:26 | 0:04:29 | |
experienced opponents, they will make you pay for it. | 0:04:29 | 0:04:33 | |
Finally, it's a big year for the Queen and Winnie | 0:04:33 | 0:04:36 | |
The Pooh this year. | 0:04:36 | 0:04:38 | |
They both celebrate their 90th birthdays this summer. | 0:04:38 | 0:04:40 | |
And, now, a new Winnie The Pooh adventure is being released, | 0:04:40 | 0:04:43 | |
with a starring role for the Queen. | 0:04:43 | 0:04:44 | |
Winnie travels to the Palace with his friends, and meets a certain | 0:04:44 | 0:04:47 | |
young prince in the gardens. | 0:04:47 | 0:04:50 | |
That's all for now. | 0:04:50 | 0:04:51 | |
I'll be back in about half-an-hour. | 0:04:51 | 0:04:54 |
