It's Wednesday morning, you're live with CBBC. I'm Leah with today's top | :00:00. | :00:08. | |
stories from Newsround. England's women win the Ashes Down Under. And | :00:09. | :00:12. | |
Viking warriors take over a town in Scotland... Sort of. | :00:13. | :00:19. | |
First, a big education report out this morning says a quarter of young | :00:20. | :00:24. | |
people in poorer countries can't read a single sentence. That's | :00:25. | :00:27. | |
millions of children who can't read or write. The United Nations is now | :00:28. | :00:31. | |
calling on the world's governments to give these kids the chance to go | :00:32. | :00:35. | |
to school. Nel's been looking into it. This girl is 12 and lives in | :00:36. | :00:47. | |
Lahore in Pakistan. She has been studying at this school for the past | :00:48. | :00:51. | |
three years, but doesn't know how much longer she'll be here. | :00:52. | :00:58. | |
TRANSLATION: My father doesn't want me to learn. He thinks it's not a | :00:59. | :01:02. | |
good thing for girls to study. I have to fight him every day to come | :01:03. | :01:07. | |
to school. That's because in Pakistan, girls are treated very | :01:08. | :01:11. | |
differently to boys, and poor children are treated very | :01:12. | :01:14. | |
differently to rich ones. In the latest report on education around | :01:15. | :01:17. | |
the world, the United Nations found that in the Pakistani area of Sindh, | :01:18. | :01:24. | |
only one in every five girls can do basic maths sums. For boys it is | :01:25. | :01:29. | |
over half. TRANSLATION: Dad doesn't have enough | :01:30. | :01:33. | |
money to send us to school. He thinks we should be working. My mum | :01:34. | :01:38. | |
saves to pay our school fees. School buildings are old and there's not a | :01:39. | :01:42. | |
lot of money for repairs. The teachers can sometimes be badly | :01:43. | :01:45. | |
trained. It all might seem a world away from kids in the UK and their | :01:46. | :01:49. | |
experiences are going to school. I've come to a girls school in | :01:50. | :01:55. | |
Manchester. I'm here to study a gold dust map to meet a girl who studies | :01:56. | :01:59. | |
in the UK. She understands how different school life can be in the | :02:00. | :02:07. | |
two countries. The education here is much better. Just the opportunities | :02:08. | :02:12. | |
you can have and the facilities. Here, there's a swimming pool and | :02:13. | :02:16. | |
the library and I can do different clubs. It's very free and I've got a | :02:17. | :02:20. | |
lot of opportunities and choices. I can kind of do whatever I like. How | :02:21. | :02:25. | |
different do you think your education would be if you are living | :02:26. | :02:29. | |
in Pakistan? I think you'd have to travel a long way to school, | :02:30. | :02:32. | |
probably on foot, because he wouldn't be able to afford a car. | :02:33. | :02:42. | |
Then when you get to school the education is not very good. Then | :02:43. | :02:44. | |
when you come home there probably wouldn't be any electricity. | :02:45. | :02:46. | |
Although life is very different, both girls have the same dreams for | :02:47. | :02:50. | |
the future. I really want to have the education to get a good job and | :02:51. | :02:54. | |
support my family. My dream has always been to be a doctor. Father | :02:55. | :02:59. | |
doesn't think I can do it but I want a job, that's all. In America, | :03:00. | :03:02. | |
President Barack Obama went on telly last night for a big speech to set | :03:03. | :03:06. | |
out his priorities for the next 12 months. In his Union Address, he | :03:07. | :03:09. | |
told millions of Americans that inequality in the country had | :03:10. | :03:12. | |
deepened. He wants to give opportunity to more families and | :03:13. | :03:15. | |
tackle pay differences at work between men and women. The president | :03:16. | :03:18. | |
is looking to improve his ratings with voters, which have been at | :03:19. | :03:22. | |
their lowest since he got the top job five years ago. Staying with | :03:23. | :03:25. | |
America, more arctic weather has caused chaos in the Midwest, with | :03:26. | :03:27. | |
schools closing, airlines cancelling flights and emergency crews working | :03:28. | :03:33. | |
to dig out major roadways. Many motorists trying to travel spun off | :03:34. | :03:37. | |
the road or slid into snow banks. In Ohio, high winds created "snow | :03:38. | :03:40. | |
rollers", which are coils of snow whipped up by the 40mph gusts. In | :03:41. | :03:46. | |
the normally warm Southern states, a state of emergency has been declared | :03:47. | :03:50. | |
as they prepare for a severe winter storm too. To warmer places and just | :03:51. | :03:55. | |
an hour or so ago, England retained the Women's Ashes in Australia. They | :03:56. | :03:59. | |
needed to win the first Twenty20 match to win the series. England won | :04:00. | :04:02. | |
by nine wickets, with captain Charlotte Edwards hitting the | :04:03. | :04:05. | |
winning runs to finish a brilliant innings of 92 not out. The men play | :04:06. | :04:10. | |
their first Twenty20 in Hobart after 8am this morning. A big night in the | :04:11. | :04:15. | |
Premier League saw Liverpool smash their local rivals Everton 4-0 in | :04:16. | :04:18. | |
the Merseyside derby. Reds captain Steven Gerrard scored after 20 | :04:19. | :04:21. | |
minutes and Daniel Sturridge followed up with two more before | :04:22. | :04:25. | |
half-time. Man United also won last night, but Arsenal were held to a | :04:26. | :04:29. | |
draw. Last up, just enough time to show you some amazing pictures of | :04:30. | :04:33. | |
people dressed as Vikings! It was the Up Helly Aa festival in | :04:34. | :04:36. | |
Scotland's Shetland Islands. Every year local people carry torches | :04:37. | :04:38. | |
through the town of Lerwick to celebrate the islands' Viking | :04:39. | :04:41. | |
heritage, before throwing their torches onto a pretend Viking ship | :04:42. | :04:45. | |
to make a big fire. Head to the website to check out more pictures. | :04:46. | :04:48. | |
That's all from me, Newsround's back in about half an hour with loads | :04:49. | :04:51. | |
more. See you then. | :04:52. | :04:56. |
