Hi, I'm Hayley.

0:00:030:00:04

It's Friday and here's what's coming up on Newsround today.

0:00:040:00:08

The blow up home going into space.

0:00:080:00:11

And the most pampered pooch.

0:00:110:00:15

It's been more than five years since the civil war began in Syria

0:00:240:00:28

in the Middle East.

0:00:280:00:29

Millions of people have had to flee their homes and live

0:00:290:00:31

in refugee camps in nearby countries.

0:00:310:00:34

But life there can be tough too.

0:00:340:00:36

Many children have had to find ways to help themselves

0:00:360:00:39

and their families.

0:00:390:00:41

Hayley has more.

0:00:410:00:43

Meet eight-year-old Batul and ten-year-old Mohammed.

0:00:430:00:47

TRANSLATION: We saw that our parents were in need of some money

0:00:470:00:50

so we began to work like all our friends.

0:00:500:00:53

We have to walk a lot every day but we earn good money.

0:00:530:00:56

We work for about four hours a day.

0:00:560:00:58

They used to live in Syria, but when the Civil War broke out

0:00:580:01:01

there five years ago, they couldn't stay any longer

0:01:010:01:04

so they left with their family.

0:01:040:01:07

They are now in nearby Lebanon living in this camp.

0:01:070:01:11

In Lebanon, everything is expensive and families are struggling to live.

0:01:110:01:15

They are struggling to get the basics.

0:01:150:01:16

They are struggling to get the food and that's why most of them

0:01:160:01:20

are having no choice but to send their children to work.

0:01:200:01:23

Every child has a right to an education.

0:01:230:01:26

But for children in camps around Syria, it's not always possible.

0:01:260:01:30

Their father has a disability and their mother needs to take care

0:01:300:01:33

of their baby brother.

0:01:330:01:35

So Batul and Mohammed go out to work.

0:01:350:01:38

They earn about two pounds a day selling chocolate bars.

0:01:380:01:42

This is enough to buy the things that they need like milk and bread

0:01:420:01:46

and their father's medicines.

0:01:460:01:49

TRANSLATION: If I hadn't been working, I would have loved

0:01:490:01:54

being in school but I want to have my father.

0:01:540:01:57

being in school but I want to have my father.

0:01:570:01:59

I need to help him.

0:01:590:02:00

Batul goes to school from time to time but Mohammed had

0:02:000:02:03

to drop out.

0:02:030:02:04

It would cost ?3.50 a month for both of them to travel to school,

0:02:040:02:07

but their family just can't afford that.

0:02:070:02:10

TRANSLATION: We get tired but we need to help our parents.

0:02:100:02:13

When I get tired, I think of my father and I keep going.

0:02:130:02:16

Time for some sport, and the England Cricket team now

0:02:160:02:19

know who they will be facing in the T20 World Cup final.

0:02:190:02:22

The West Indies beat India yesterday in the other semifinal,

0:02:220:02:25

setting up another clash between England and the West Indies

0:02:250:02:28

on Sunday.

0:02:280:02:30

They've already played each other once in this tournamant and England

0:02:300:02:32

lost that one.

0:02:320:02:34

So here's hoping for a better performance from the team this time.

0:02:340:02:39

Next, something that fans of the Dengineers will love.

0:02:390:02:42

An inflatable space pod for astronauts to live and work

0:02:420:02:47

in is being sent up to the International Space Station

0:02:470:02:50

next week.

0:02:500:02:51

Here's how it works.

0:02:510:02:52

This will be the first inflatable space home.

0:02:520:02:55

It's called Bigelow Expandable Activity Module or Beam.

0:02:550:03:01

Designed by NASA and Bigelow Aerospace, it launches into space

0:03:010:03:05

on 8th April.

0:03:050:03:08

It will be attached to the International Space Station.

0:03:080:03:11

Beam expands when in space.

0:03:110:03:14

Made of aluminium and soft fabric, it's lightweight and takes up

0:03:140:03:17

minimal space on a rocket.

0:03:170:03:20

The new area creates a place for astronauts to live and work

0:03:200:03:25

and NASA thinks this technology could help create homes on Mars

0:03:250:03:28

in the future.

0:03:280:03:37

Next to possibly the most pampered pooch ever.

0:03:370:03:39

Meet Chi-Chi the Chihuahua.

0:03:390:03:40

She loves having her nails done, and it's especially important right

0:03:400:03:42

now as she's preparing to get married!

0:03:420:03:44

That's right, married.

0:03:440:03:46

Her owner is paying around ?20,000 for a lavish wedding for Chi-chi

0:03:460:03:50

and her future husband Harvey.

0:03:500:03:53

Even the hen night cost about ?6,000.

0:03:530:03:56

I hope they both have a lovely day.

0:03:560:04:06

Next, we all know cats have put in some brilliant performances

0:04:060:04:08

on the internet, but how do you think they would get

0:04:080:04:11

on in the police?

0:04:110:04:12

Well, a five-year-old girl called Eliza wrote to her local police

0:04:120:04:15

chief constable to tell him she thinks they would great

0:04:150:04:17

at listening out for danger and rescuing people from trees.

0:04:170:04:19

He agreed and the police have now confirmed they will consider

0:04:190:04:22

using cats to help fight crime, although it's not quite

0:04:220:04:24

clear how yet?

0:04:240:04:26

Now to some big space news.

0:04:260:04:28

A new planet has been discovered by the team at Jodrell Bank

0:04:280:04:31

Observatory.

0:04:310:04:32

They were sent a signal from a little blue planet.

0:04:320:04:35

When it was processed, they realised that hidden

0:04:350:04:37

within the noise were pictures and sounds, including a series

0:04:370:04:40

of clangs and an unusual whistling which proves that we are not alone

0:04:400:04:44

in the universe.

0:04:440:04:50

Hang on, they are the Clangers.

0:04:500:04:52

April fools, everyone!

0:04:520:04:56

That's all from me.

0:04:560:04:59

Bye-bye.
