It's 4.20pm. You're live with me, Nel. I'll bring you news of the | :00:00. | :00:09. | |
lucky kids chosen to carry the Commonwealth baton. | :00:10. | :00:12. | |
Plus: The Harry Potter spin off coming to the big screen. | :00:13. | :00:14. | |
This is Newsround. First, the impact of climate change | :00:15. | :00:21. | |
on the planet has been debated for years. But, now, a group of | :00:22. | :00:25. | |
scientists says they've worked out what the effects of rising | :00:26. | :00:28. | |
temperatures might be. So, what are their predictions, and what could it | :00:29. | :00:29. | |
mean for our future? These scientists, who work for the | :00:30. | :00:35. | |
United Nations, say that the world will get hotter by two degrees | :00:36. | :00:39. | |
Celsius over the next 20 to 30 years. It might not sound much, but | :00:40. | :00:43. | |
the scientists say it'll have a big impact on all of us. They say warmer | :00:44. | :00:47. | |
sea temperatures would mean many types of fish would move away from | :00:48. | :00:51. | |
where they are now. They predict the amount of fish you could catch in | :00:52. | :00:55. | |
the tropics and in Antarctica will be cut in half. It's bad news for | :00:56. | :01:01. | |
humans, too, as, in many parts of the world, people rely on fish for | :01:02. | :01:06. | |
food. The report also says changes in temperature and rainfall can | :01:07. | :01:11. | |
affect crops. Rising sea levels could increase the risk of flooding, | :01:12. | :01:14. | |
which could put farmers out of business, and again cut the amount | :01:15. | :01:18. | |
of food available. Animals will also be affected. Some will begin to move | :01:19. | :01:23. | |
towards higher ground, or towards the Poles, trying to get to cooler | :01:24. | :01:28. | |
land, in search of food. As well as being tough on the animals, it could | :01:29. | :01:31. | |
also impact the amount of meat available for people to eat. The | :01:32. | :01:35. | |
report argues that poorer countries are likely to suffer more in the | :01:36. | :01:40. | |
short term. But that no-one on the planet will be untouched by climate | :01:41. | :01:45. | |
change in the future. They say the recent UK floods and the storms in | :01:46. | :01:49. | |
America were early warnings of the effect of climate change. The people | :01:50. | :01:53. | |
behind the report say that, once these changes happen, they cannot be | :01:54. | :01:56. | |
reversed. But that humans are capable of dealing with some of | :01:57. | :01:59. | |
them, by developing things like sea walls, and extra help for farmers | :02:00. | :02:03. | |
affected by drought. Scientists have spent many years trying to convince | :02:04. | :02:06. | |
people of the need to deal with climate change, but not everyone is | :02:07. | :02:10. | |
persuaded. The United Nations hopes this report will be more successful | :02:11. | :02:14. | |
in getting people to change their minds and habits. | :02:15. | :02:19. | |
Next, one of the UK's leading disability charities has told | :02:20. | :02:22. | |
Newsround that out-of-school clubs and activity groups don't do enough | :02:23. | :02:27. | |
for kids with disabilities. According to Scope, there are not | :02:28. | :02:30. | |
enough options for disabled children who want to get involved. | :02:31. | :02:37. | |
Lots of disabled young people find it hard to take part in their local | :02:38. | :02:43. | |
swimming clubs, youth clubs, drama clubs. Often, they feel they are | :02:44. | :02:48. | |
unwelcoming or even they get turned away. | :02:49. | :02:49. | |
But Paralympic champion Hannah Cockcroft doesn't agree with | :02:50. | :02:52. | |
everything the charity says, and told us the types of things she did | :02:53. | :02:59. | |
when she was younger. Swimming club, brownies, I signed up | :03:00. | :03:04. | |
to the choir, dance classes, I did something different every single | :03:05. | :03:08. | |
night. I do not agree with the statistics at all. There are so many | :03:09. | :03:13. | |
clubs you can make friends at and have fun. You can still join in. | :03:14. | :03:17. | |
That's Hannah's experience, but what about yours? Emily in Kent says: | :03:18. | :03:27. | |
Keep those comments coming. And you can see Martin's report, as | :03:28. | :03:34. | |
he meets kids with disabilities, back here at 6.50pm. | :03:35. | :03:37. | |
Major movie news now. And a new big screen offering from the "wizarding | :03:38. | :03:42. | |
world" of Harry Potter. The spin off book, Fantastic Beasts And Where To | :03:43. | :03:46. | |
Find Them, is being turned into three films. Author JK Rowling will | :03:47. | :03:50. | |
adapt the story, which is set 70 years before we meet Harry. But, as | :03:51. | :03:54. | |
yet, no release date has been announced. | :03:55. | :03:57. | |
Those movies will have to go a long way to match the success of Frozen. | :03:58. | :04:02. | |
The Disney film's just broken the record for the most money ever made | :04:03. | :04:08. | |
by an animated movie. It's smashed the previous record, held by Toy | :04:09. | :04:11. | |
Story three, taking in more than ?600 million in cinema ticket sales | :04:12. | :04:13. | |
worldwide. Finally, it's been an exciting day | :04:14. | :04:21. | |
for hundreds of kids in Scotland who've been chosen as official baton | :04:22. | :04:24. | |
bearers for the Commonwealth Games in Glasgow. The baton's been on a | :04:25. | :04:27. | |
global tour of commonwealth countries and is currently in the | :04:28. | :04:30. | |
Caribbean. Today, hundreds of kids were told they'd be part of the | :04:31. | :04:34. | |
Scotland leg of the relay in June and July. Robert was one of the | :04:35. | :04:43. | |
lucky ones chosen BATON-ACT. I'm going to be doing it in my | :04:44. | :04:51. | |
hometown, am overwhelmed. It is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity. | :04:52. | :04:54. | |
There's more from Robert at 6.50pm, as well as news on England's new | :04:55. | :04:58. | |
World Cup kit. | :04:59. | :04:59. |
