Hello, Ricky here with your Monday morning Newsround.

First, we're talking about some extraordinary scenes

at the Oscars in America.

The award for Best Picture was given to the WRONG film.

The winner was announced as La La Land, and the team

even came up to give their speeches until...

There's a mistake.

Moonlight, you guys won Best Picture.

Moonlight won.

It was discovered that another film, Moonlight, was the right winner.

It turned out that the stars giving out the award had been

given the wrong envelope.

Oh dear!

Next to the story of a boy who, like thousands of children

from Syria, has travelled to a new country in

Europe to escape war.

Jenny went to Sweden to catch up with him to see

what life is like now.

Meet Kava.

He's ten years old and likes football, music and bowling.

And, like millions of kids across Sweden, he's off to school.

But 18 months ago Kava's life was very different.

Kava and his family were forced to leave their home in Syria

because of a war that's been going on there since 2011.

Thousands of people have died and around 4 million people

like Kava have had to leave the country to get away

from the fighting.

Many people have made long journeys to countries in Europe,

because they think they will be able to have a better life there.

TRANSLATION: We left when it was evening,

and we were very scared on the road.

It was completely dark.

Kava and his family travelled from Syria to Turkey,

and then got on a boat to make a dangerous journey across the sea

to a Greek island called Lesbos.

TRANSLATION: We eventually took a small boat and crossed

the sea to Europe, and we were very terrified.

Newsround first met Kava in 2015, shortly after he had

arrived on Lesbos.

TRANSLATION: I want to see my brother, who is in Sweden.

He's already there and I want to join him, I miss him.

And he got his wish.

After getting a ferry to mainland Greece, Kava's family

travelled overland by bus all the way to Sweden.

Kava and his family have been living in this very snowy town

for more than a year now, and Kava has even started

going to his local school, so I've come to find out

what his life is like now.

TRANSLATION: I like the school, the school is good.

There's no violence here, it is good here.

I like Sweden.

I like mathematics and doing my lessons.

And writing on a computer, laptop or an iPad.

I want to write.

Learning Swedish was difficult at first, but later it

became easier, very easy.

I have friends, and they are very kind, they are good.

My friends and I chase each other, run around,

and we play in the snow.

Is there anything you miss about life with your friends in Syria?

My friends are not in Syria any more, they went

to Lebanon, Iraq, and Turkey.

They are not in Syria.

I would like to meet them again.

Although Kava is happy to be settled with his family here in Sweden,

I want to find out how he feels about having to leave

his home in Syria.

TRANSLATION: In our old home, we used to play.

We had a laptop, we had a large house with a large garden

where we used to play.

But I don't remember much else.

TRANSLATION: When the war broke out, everyone went

in different directions.

Some left their mothers, others their fathers or their brothers.

Not many people stayed together.

TRANSLATION: We stuck together and held each other closely so none

of us would be left behind.

That's why we remained holding each other so strongly.

What are your hopes for the future?

TRANSLATION: Now I am with my brother, sister

and parents here together.

We are very happy, it is nice here.

I wish to continue going to school and study,

and become something one day.

That's all from me, Newsround's back in half-an-hour.
