It's 8:17 this Friday morning and you're watching | :00:00. | :00:00. | |
Coming up: How do you turn back the clock at Big Ben? | :00:00. | :00:16. | |
And how you get rid of waste on the International Space Station! | :00:17. | :00:30. | |
First, world leaders have agreed to protect a massive area | :00:31. | :00:33. | |
of water off Antarctica - home to the South Pole. | :00:34. | :00:37. | |
The Ross Sea has penguins, whales and seals, and is about six times | :00:38. | :00:40. | |
This new deal means that there can't be any commercial fishing | :00:41. | :00:49. | |
there for the next 35 years, and makes it the largest marine | :00:50. | :00:52. | |
It's hoped it'll help to protect wildlife that live there, | :00:53. | :00:56. | |
Yes, it's about the environment but most of all it is about justice, | :00:57. | :01:03. | |
and ensuring that we look after the environment | :01:04. | :01:05. | |
There seems to be something fundamentally wrong about us | :01:06. | :01:10. | |
destroying the ocean so our children and grandchildren | :01:11. | :01:12. | |
This is what was supposed to happen when the Schiaparelli lander | :01:13. | :01:21. | |
reached Mars last week, but things didn't go to plan. | :01:22. | :01:23. | |
The parachute and rockets designed to slow it down didn't work | :01:24. | :01:26. | |
Now new pictures are giving scientists more clues | :01:27. | :01:29. | |
These images show the remains of the capsule in a crater, | :01:30. | :01:34. | |
surrounded by a dark patch, which is thought to be | :01:35. | :01:36. | |
Well, one mission that did go to plan is Tim Peake's six-month | :01:37. | :01:42. | |
stay on the International Space Station. | :01:43. | :01:46. | |
The British astronaut has been touring the country meeting children | :01:47. | :01:48. | |
since coming back to Earth and he also caught up | :01:49. | :01:50. | |
with Jenny to answer some of your burning questions. | :01:51. | :01:55. | |
Oliver is seven and wants to know what you like to eat in space | :01:56. | :01:59. | |
Eating in space is strange because there is no convection | :02:00. | :02:07. | |
Some of the food tastes bland, so you would spice it up. | :02:08. | :02:12. | |
On Earth, why is the sky blue but in space it is black? | :02:13. | :02:20. | |
We always draw the sun as yellow, because it appears yellow to us | :02:21. | :02:23. | |
It is the whitest light you will ever see. | :02:24. | :02:33. | |
When the sun's light comes into our atmosphere it scatters | :02:34. | :02:36. | |
all around and it is the scattering of the light, | :02:37. | :02:38. | |
that is what makes it appear blue, and up in space it is just black | :02:39. | :02:42. | |
because there is no atmosphere so the sun is not passing | :02:43. | :02:44. | |
How did you get rid of the waste from the ship? | :02:45. | :02:58. | |
We don't want to resupply with anything, so we recycle | :02:59. | :03:01. | |
So today's coffee was yesterday's pee. | :03:02. | :03:04. | |
For the stuff that we can't recycle, that gets put into a blue garbage | :03:05. | :03:10. | |
bag you saw and it burns up in the atmosphere, so when you look | :03:11. | :03:14. | |
The clocks go back an hour this Sunday morning at 2am meaning, yes, | :03:15. | :03:24. | |
But while changing any clocks around your house might be a pretty | :03:25. | :03:30. | |
easy and simple job, it's a huge task for the team | :03:31. | :03:33. | |
Here's BBC reporter Tim Muffett to explain how they do it. | :03:34. | :03:39. | |
The clocks go back this weekend, but spare a thought for the staff at the | :03:40. | :03:47. | |
palaces of Westminster where the House of Commons and House of Lords. | :03:48. | :03:52. | |
2000 clocks need turning back, but this is the most famous. I'm in the | :03:53. | :03:56. | |
control room of the building you probably know as Big Ben, but that | :03:57. | :04:00. | |
is actually the name of the bell at the top of the Elizabeth Tower. This | :04:01. | :04:04. | |
the Victorian machinery that works the clock. You are part of the team | :04:05. | :04:10. | |
that will stop the clock over the weekend. How will it work? On | :04:11. | :04:15. | |
Saturday night, we will come here and stop the ticking of the clock. | :04:16. | :04:19. | |
There will be no bells or quarter bells, nothing. We switch the lights | :04:20. | :04:23. | |
of outside so no one knows what is going on and then we will move the | :04:24. | :04:26. | |
hands quickly to midnight, and what would be the new midnight, then we | :04:27. | :04:31. | |
will turn the hands back on with no bells and we will keep on going | :04:32. | :04:35. | |
round until we have the time right. And at two a.m., the official time | :04:36. | :04:39. | |
change, we will switch the lights back on and we will be back in | :04:40. | :04:43. | |
Greenwich meantime. Thank you so much. Whatever you do, don't forget | :04:44. | :04:48. | |
to turn your clocks and watches back, although smartphones sometimes | :04:49. | :04:52. | |
do it themselves, there is still a real art to this, as Ian has been | :04:53. | :04:54. | |
telling us. Now this Sumatran orangutan may not | :04:55. | :04:55. | |
be as old as Big Ben, but she's been named as the oldest | :04:56. | :04:58. | |
one on the planet! Puan lives in Perth Zoo | :04:59. | :05:00. | |
in Australia, where keepers studied loads of records to work out that | :05:01. | :05:03. | |
she's 60 years old. Primates like her usually | :05:04. | :05:06. | |
live to the age of 50, but the zoo says she's | :05:07. | :05:08. | |
doing well for her age. She's in very good condition | :05:09. | :05:12. | |
and she looks incredible She has got a bit cranky in her | :05:13. | :05:14. | |
old age, that might be the word, but everyone is entitled | :05:15. | :05:19. | |
to have a bad day. She definitely deserves a lot | :05:20. | :05:21. | |
of respect and she gets If her food doesn't come quickly | :05:22. | :05:23. | |
enough she stamps her feet and gives us this little war dance, | :05:24. | :05:31. | |
but she's easy to work with. at Chester Zoo featuring loads | :05:32. | :05:48. | |
