Hey everyone, Leah here with today's Newsround. | 0:00:04 | 0:00:06 | |
Loads to get through including: | 0:00:06 | 0:00:09 | |
We meet the scientists checking air pollution from the sky. | 0:00:09 | 0:00:13 | |
How cool is it being a world champion surfer? | 0:00:13 | 0:00:16 | |
And oven gloves at the ready - tonight's the final of Bake Off! | 0:00:16 | 0:00:24 | |
Now, when it comes to pollution you might think of things down | 0:00:30 | 0:00:33 | |
here on the ground like car fumes and factories, but to find out more | 0:00:33 | 0:00:38 | |
about how clean the air in our cities actually is, | 0:00:38 | 0:00:40 | |
scientists are taking to the skies. | 0:00:40 | 0:00:42 | |
And Martin has gone along with them. | 0:00:42 | 0:00:48 | |
This is one of the most advanced scientific aircraft in the world. | 0:00:48 | 0:00:52 | |
It is this plane's job to measure the amount of air pollution | 0:00:52 | 0:00:55 | |
there is in cities across the UK and I'm about to hop on board | 0:00:55 | 0:00:59 | |
from East Midlands to Manchester to see how it works. | 0:00:59 | 0:01:09 | |
On the outside it might look like an ordinary aeroplane, | 0:01:10 | 0:01:13 | |
but on the inside it is a high-tech chemistry lab. | 0:01:13 | 0:01:19 | |
On board I spoke to one of the lead scientists to find out more. | 0:01:19 | 0:01:22 | |
James, what are we doing on this aircraft today? | 0:01:22 | 0:01:26 | |
We are flying off the coast of Liverpool and Manchester. | 0:01:26 | 0:01:29 | |
The wind is currently blowing all the pollution that gets emitted | 0:01:29 | 0:01:32 | |
from cars and factories and things, it is blowing it over the sea | 0:01:32 | 0:01:36 | |
and we are crossing that plume of pollution trying to measure how | 0:01:36 | 0:01:39 | |
much is in it. | 0:01:39 | 0:01:41 | |
Air pollution is bad for us. | 0:01:41 | 0:01:44 | |
What we are doing here is trying to understand better where this | 0:01:44 | 0:01:48 | |
pollution is coming from, how much is being emitted and then | 0:01:48 | 0:01:52 | |
going forward how to better inform people as to how we can improve | 0:01:52 | 0:01:56 | |
the air quality in our cities. | 0:01:56 | 0:02:01 | |
James, how unique is this aircraft in what it does? | 0:02:01 | 0:02:05 | |
It is the only one in the UK. | 0:02:05 | 0:02:09 | |
It is the largest one in Europe and it is pretty much | 0:02:09 | 0:02:13 | |
state-of-the-art. | 0:02:13 | 0:02:15 | |
Compared to other aircraft around the world it is | 0:02:15 | 0:02:17 | |
pretty much the best. | 0:02:17 | 0:02:20 | |
We have got a few bits of equipment out hanging beneath the wings that | 0:02:20 | 0:02:24 | |
measure things like clouds as we go through them and we have also got | 0:02:24 | 0:02:27 | |
quite a lot of equipment inside the aircraft cabin. | 0:02:27 | 0:02:29 | |
The air is being sucked through and our instruments | 0:02:29 | 0:02:33 | |
are providing a measurement of the different air pollutants. | 0:02:33 | 0:02:35 | |
There is a lot of high-tech equipment being flown around | 0:02:35 | 0:02:38 | |
in this aircraft cabin. | 0:02:38 | 0:02:44 | |
Liverpool are into the quarter finals of the League Cup | 0:02:44 | 0:02:46 | |
after beating Tottenham 2-1 last night. | 0:02:46 | 0:02:48 | |
England striker Daniel Sturridge scored both of the Reds' goals | 0:02:48 | 0:02:52 | |
having been out of the team for most of this season. | 0:02:52 | 0:03:01 | |
In tonight's big cup match Manchester United play | 0:03:02 | 0:03:05 | |
against Manchester City at Old Trafford later today. | 0:03:05 | 0:03:07 | |
Neither team won this weekend. | 0:03:07 | 0:03:10 | |
Man City drew with Southampton but Man United got thrashed by Chelsea. | 0:03:10 | 0:03:13 | |
The City Manager Pep Guardiola says the fact that it's a local derby | 0:03:13 | 0:03:16 | |
makes it even more exciting. | 0:03:16 | 0:03:20 | |
A derby is a derby. | 0:03:20 | 0:03:25 | |
So we are not going to play a game like just a game, | 0:03:25 | 0:03:30 | |
it is a special game, it is a final, a competition game. | 0:03:30 | 0:03:34 | |
We are going to try to... | 0:03:34 | 0:03:38 | |
We are going to try no, we are going to play seriously | 0:03:38 | 0:03:41 | |
like always we do since my period here and try to win the game. | 0:03:41 | 0:03:51 | |
Now, because it's freezing outside here in the UK how | 0:03:53 | 0:03:56 | |
about a big surfing competition in Portugal to end on? | 0:03:56 | 0:03:59 | |
This guy is John John Florence. | 0:03:59 | 0:04:01 | |
He's officially the best surfer ever after wining | 0:04:01 | 0:04:03 | |
the 2016 World Championship. | 0:04:03 | 0:04:06 | |
His was a flawless performance in the waves. | 0:04:06 | 0:04:08 | |
The tournament hasn't even finished but Florence has so many points | 0:04:08 | 0:04:11 | |
nobody can beat him. | 0:04:11 | 0:04:15 | |
And finally the Great British Bake Off will air for the last time | 0:04:15 | 0:04:18 | |
on the BBC with tonight's final. | 0:04:18 | 0:04:19 | |
So just who will be crowned the series winner? | 0:04:19 | 0:04:23 | |
Well, with this year's Royal Theme, Candice, Andrew and Jane will be | 0:04:23 | 0:04:28 | |
getting their whisking spoons and hoping it's them. | 0:04:28 | 0:04:30 | |
At 8.15 we'll be talking more about the show, | 0:04:30 | 0:04:32 | |
but before then head online for loads of Bake Off | 0:04:32 | 0:04:35 | |
related stuff including a profile of the finalists. | 0:04:35 | 0:04:38 | |
We also want to know who you think should win Bake Off tonight? | 0:04:38 | 0:04:41 | |
Get in touch and we'll read out some of your comments later on. | 0:04:41 | 0:04:46 | |
That's all from me. | 0:04:46 | 0:04:49 | |
