Hello, Leah here with Newsround, live! | :00:00. | :00:00. | |
The boys? world tour touches down in the UK tonight. | :00:00. | :00:17. | |
First up, something we don't usually expect you to dig - gardening! | :00:18. | :00:22. | |
But a recent report found that only one in five kids were connected to | :00:23. | :00:26. | |
nature and the Royal Horticultural Society believe | :00:27. | :00:28. | |
that gardening itself can help kids develop and learn important things | :00:29. | :00:31. | |
When it comes to the group -- world of gardening, nobody does it better | :00:32. | :00:54. | |
or is more famous for it than the Chelsea Flower Show in London. | :00:55. | :00:57. | |
Thousands of people flocked here every year to see the gorgeous | :00:58. | :01:01. | |
greenery and the people behind it, the Royal Hall trickle -- Royal | :01:02. | :01:04. | |
Horticultural Society things gardening can teach children a lot | :01:05. | :01:10. | |
more than just planting a few bulbs. Nowadays, fewer kids have access to | :01:11. | :01:14. | |
green spaces. One school has taken the green fingers challenge to the | :01:15. | :01:18. | |
next level. These kids from East London have built a green oasis | :01:19. | :01:21. | |
amongst the surrounding concrete jungle. I found it really fun when I | :01:22. | :01:28. | |
started gardening because I like the feel of the soil and looking at the | :01:29. | :01:34. | |
seedlings in germination. Sometimes I like gardening more than playing | :01:35. | :01:39. | |
in the playground. It helps me learn things I don't learn anywhere else | :01:40. | :01:43. | |
and it's very fun because you can dig around. It's important because | :01:44. | :01:47. | |
it gives people the opportunity to connect with nature. But can | :01:48. | :01:52. | |
gardening help you learn skills for school? They are learning how to | :01:53. | :01:56. | |
work as a team and how to nurture plants. We did a maths lesson where | :01:57. | :02:01. | |
we build some new planters and they had to calculate how much soil went | :02:02. | :02:05. | |
into the planters, so it was a lesson about volume. Not every | :02:06. | :02:09. | |
school can afford a potting paradise. They need to spend money | :02:10. | :02:13. | |
elsewhere and it can be expensive to start up, but with almost 20,000 | :02:14. | :02:18. | |
schools already involved in the campaign for school gardening, | :02:19. | :02:21. | |
progress has been made. It's now much more likely that a green | :02:22. | :02:24. | |
fingers project could be hitting a playground near you. Lovely. | :02:25. | :02:31. | |
That's right a vehicle with no steering wheel or no brakes. | :02:32. | :02:36. | |
Sounds like something from the future, right? | :02:37. | :02:39. | |
Well, it may not be that far off because | :02:40. | :02:42. | |
Google has announced it's going to start building self-driving cars. | :02:43. | :02:48. | |
The company plans to build 100 vehicles, which will just | :02:49. | :02:51. | |
Some people say driverless cars could reduce car crashes, | :02:52. | :02:55. | |
but some researchers believe they could make traffic worse. | :02:56. | :03:00. | |
He is the man with a hat behind one of the biggest songs in the past | :03:01. | :03:08. | |
year, Farrell Williams, the producer of Happy has been talking about | :03:09. | :03:11. | |
writing the song and how hard it was. How do you make a song about a | :03:12. | :03:17. | |
guy that is so happy that it is basically relentless? I found that | :03:18. | :03:23. | |
very difficult. I ended up writing nine different attempts, nine | :03:24. | :03:26. | |
different songs to try and fit the scene and nothing worked, so I asked | :03:27. | :03:34. | |
myself on the 10th time that the answer was in the question all | :03:35. | :03:35. | |
along. Some footie news now, and Spurs have | :03:36. | :03:36. | |
a new manager, Mauricio Pochettino. You may recognise him | :03:37. | :03:40. | |
because last season he was in charge of Southampton, who he | :03:41. | :03:42. | |
guided to eighth in the league. The Argentine has agreed | :03:43. | :03:45. | |
a five-year deal at the club and becomes Tottenham's tenth | :03:46. | :03:48. | |
manager since 2001. Tennis, and Britain's Number one | :03:49. | :03:50. | |
