Hi, I'm Leah with another Newsround update. Coming up, the frogs that | :00:00. | :00:08. | |
glow in the dark, and Jay Z and Beyonce rock the house at the | :00:09. | :00:21. | |
Grammys. Now to the peace talks that are trying to bring an end to | :00:22. | :00:26. | |
Syria's three-year civil war which has killed over 100,000 people. The | :00:27. | :00:29. | |
Syrian government has agreed to allow women and children to leave | :00:30. | :00:32. | |
the city of Homs, which has been gripped by heavy fighting for many | :00:33. | :00:36. | |
months. It will also allow aid trucks to enter the city. The talks | :00:37. | :00:39. | |
have been taking place in Switzerland, between Syrian | :00:40. | :00:41. | |
president Assad's government and those who want them out of power. | :00:42. | :00:46. | |
Today, people in the UK will remember the six million Jews and | :00:47. | :00:50. | |
other people killed by the German Nazi party during the Second World | :00:51. | :00:53. | |
War. Services are taking place all round the country as part of | :00:54. | :00:56. | |
National Holocaust Memorial Day. I've been looking at what it means. | :00:57. | :01:00. | |
It is never easy to think about what happened during World War II. | :01:01. | :01:05. | |
Germany's leader, Adolf Hitler, thought Jews and other people from | :01:06. | :01:09. | |
certain religions and groups were inferior and planned horrific ways | :01:10. | :01:13. | |
to get rid of them. In what became known as the Holocaust, he had | :01:14. | :01:18. | |
millions of people sent to special prisons called concentration camps. | :01:19. | :01:23. | |
Families were split up, there was little food, extremely hard physical | :01:24. | :01:26. | |
work and many people were killed there. It is estimated barely seven | :01:27. | :01:32. | |
out of ten Jews from all across Europe died. Today is a mark of | :01:33. | :01:39. | |
respect for all victims of the Holocaust, as well as victims of | :01:40. | :01:42. | |
other mass killings around the world. It helps teach us about these | :01:43. | :01:47. | |
terrible events and make sure they are not forgotten. But thousands of | :01:48. | :01:54. | |
children did manage to escape Hitler's Nazi Germany and were sent | :01:55. | :01:58. | |
to the UK for safety. They said goodbye to their families and were | :01:59. | :02:04. | |
put on special trains, known as Kindertransport. And now two | :02:05. | :02:07. | |
survivors of the Holocaust have come to this school in South Lanarkshire | :02:08. | :02:15. | |
to tell their story. We were put on the train about our parents. We came | :02:16. | :02:24. | |
to this country as refugees. Henry and Ingrid were two of the children | :02:25. | :02:29. | |
lucky enough to escape. Do send your child on a train to a foreign | :02:30. | :02:33. | |
country, there is no idea if the child will get there. It's a | :02:34. | :02:37. | |
traumatic and courageous decision to take, but many of us survived. We | :02:38. | :02:43. | |
were the lucky ones. Unfortunately, I lost quite a lot of relations in | :02:44. | :02:48. | |
the camps. When Henry and Ingrid were children they had to leave | :02:49. | :02:51. | |
everything they knew behind because life in Germany for them was too | :02:52. | :02:55. | |
dangerous. They arrived in the UK and settled into life here. Over 70 | :02:56. | :03:00. | |
years later, they feel their story is an important one for children to | :03:01. | :03:04. | |
hear about. It was really eye opening. Quite emotional, when you | :03:05. | :03:11. | |
saw how important this was to them and how they thought it was | :03:12. | :03:15. | |
important to spread the message. It was really interesting to see what | :03:16. | :03:20. | |
really happened. Not what the historians say or anything from | :03:21. | :03:24. | |
books. It was real life and real people. Henry and Ingrid think it is | :03:25. | :03:28. | |
important for people to learn about the past to help stop terrible | :03:29. | :03:31. | |
things like the Holocaust happening again. Back in the UK, and there's | :03:32. | :03:40. | |
been more heavy rain in parts of South West England already badly hit | :03:41. | :03:44. | |
by flooding. Somerset has been badly affected, the council there has | :03:45. | :03:47. | |
declare a major incident There are 14 flood warnings in place across | :03:48. | :03:50. | |
England and Wales and snow is also expected in part of the UK today. | :03:51. | :03:59. | |
Music superstars from around the globe were hoping to grab a Grammy | :04:00. | :04:03. | |
last night. Beyonce and Jay Z open the awards, where Daft Punk were the | :04:04. | :04:17. | |
big winners. Lorde picked up the winner for single of the year. In | :04:18. | :04:26. | |
the FA Cup, Chelsea beat Stoke 1-0 to win a tie away to Man City in the | :04:27. | :04:32. | |
next round. The only goal of the game came from Brazilian midfielder | :04:33. | :04:34. | |
Oscar with an incredible free-kick in the first half, to put Jose | :04:35. | :04:38. | |
Mourinho's side into the last 16 - it was also Jose's birthday! Now to | :04:39. | :04:42. | |
the frogs that glow! Take a look at these amazing pictures. | :04:43. | :04:45. | |
Conservationists at Chester Zoo have come up with a way to keep an eye on | :04:46. | :04:48. | |
critically endangered frogs all by injecting them with harmless strips | :04:49. | :04:55. | |
of fluorescent silicon. It means conservationists can now track their | :04:56. | :04:59. | |
whereabouts. Head to the website for our top stories. | :05:00. | :05:01. |
