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

Tucker the poorly turtle.

0:00:080:00:10

And could we be having kitty police constables soon?

0:00:100:00:15

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

0:00:240:00:27

in the Middle East.

0:00:270:00:28

Millions of people have had to flee their homes and live

0:00:280:00:31

in refugee camps in nearby countries.

0:00:310:00:34

But life there can be tough too.

0:00:340:00:34

Many children have had to find ways to help themselves

0:00:360:00:38

and their families.

0:00:380:00:41

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

0:00:420:00:46

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

0:00:460:00:49

so we began to work like all our friends.

0:00:490:00:51

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

0:00:510:00:54

We work for about four hours a day.

0:00:540:00:57

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

0:00:570:01:00

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

0:01:000:01:03

so they left with their family.

0:01:030:01:05

They are now in nearby Lebanon living in this camp.

0:01:050:01:10

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

0:01:100:01:13

They are struggling to get the basics.

0:01:130:01:15

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

0:01:150:01:19

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

0:01:190:01:22

Every child has a right to an education.

0:01:220:01:25

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

0:01:250:01:29

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

0:01:290:01:32

of their baby brother.

0:01:320:01:34

So Batul and Mohammed go out to work.

0:01:340:01:37

They earn about two pounds a day selling chocolate bars.

0:01:370:01:40

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

0:01:400:01:44

and their father's medicines.

0:01:440:01:47

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

0:01:470:01:49

being in school but I want to have my father.

0:01:490:01:54

being in school but I want to help my father.

0:01:540:01:57

I need to help him.

0:01:570:01:58

Batul goes to school from time to time but Mohammed had

0:01:580:02:01

to drop out.

0:02:010:02:02

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

0:02:020:02:05

but their family just can't afford that.

0:02:050:02:07

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

0:02:070:02:09

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

0:02:090:02:13

Time for some sport, and the England Cricket team now

0:02:130:02:16

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

0:02:160:02:20

The West Indies beat India yesterday in the other semifinal,

0:02:200:02:22

setting up another clash between England and the West Indies

0:02:220:02:24

on Sunday.

0:02:240:02:27

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

0:02:270:02:30

lost that one.

0:02:300:02:31

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

0:02:310:02:37

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

0:02:370:02:40

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

0:02:400:02:43

on in the police?

0:02:430:02:44

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

0:02:440:02:47

chief constable to tell him she thinks they would great

0:02:470:02:51

at listening out for danger and rescuing people from trees.

0:02:510:02:54

He agreed and the police have now confirmed they will consider

0:02:540:02:57

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

0:02:570:03:00

clear how yet?

0:03:000:03:04

Next, something that fans of the Dengineers will love.

0:03:040:03:06

An inflatable space pod for astronauts to live and work

0:03:060:03:11

in is being sent up to the International Space Station

0:03:110:03:13

next week.

0:03:130:03:15

Here's how it works.

0:03:150:03:17

This will be the first inflatable space home.

0:03:170:03:20

It's called Bigelow Expandable Activity Module or Beam.

0:03:200:03:26

Designed by NASA and Bigelow Aerospace, it launches into space

0:03:260:03:31

on 8th April.

0:03:310:03:32

It will be attached to the International Space Station.

0:03:320:03:38

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

0:03:380:03:41

minimal space on a rocket.

0:03:410:03:45

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

0:03:450:03:48

and NASA thinks this technology could help create homes on Mars

0:03:480:03:52

in the future.

0:03:520:03:56

Next, there was sad news for some Little Mix fans yesterday

0:03:560:03:59

when the girls had to cancel their show in Belfast last night.

0:03:590:04:03

The group apologised to fans but many were

0:04:030:04:05

left very disappointed.

0:04:050:04:08

Jesy was sick and we had to cancel and we all had to go home.

0:04:080:04:12

I was upset because it's my first concert, so it is.

0:04:120:04:16

I couldn't stop crying earlier on.

0:04:160:04:18

I was just devastated.

0:04:180:04:20

That was meant to be for my birthday so now,

0:04:200:04:22

basically, it's not going to happen cos Jesy's sick.

0:04:220:04:29

Next, one thing you need to be able to do if you're a turtle

0:04:290:04:33

is dive underwater, right?

0:04:330:04:34

Well, for one turtle named Tucker, it's not that easy.

0:04:340:04:38

After he was found washed up on a beach in the United States,

0:04:380:04:41

it became clear that air bubbles inside his body

0:04:410:04:44

were stopping him from diving.

0:04:440:04:46

Now he's being treated in a chamber normally used to help human divers

0:04:460:04:50

who have problems after diving.

0:04:500:04:52

He's being monitored closely now to see if the treatment works.

0:04:520:04:57

Next to possibly the most pampered pooch ever.

0:04:570:05:00

Meet Chi-Chi the Chihuahua.

0:05:000:05:02

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

0:05:020:05:05

now as she's preparing to get married!

0:05:050:05:09

That's right, married.

0:05:090:05:12

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

0:05:120:05:16

and her future husband Harvey.

0:05:160:05:18

Even the hen night cost about ?6,000.

0:05:180:05:23

I hope they both have a lovely day.

0:05:230:05:26

Now to some big space news.

0:05:260:05:28

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

0:05:280:05:31

Observatory.

0:05:310:05:32

They were sent a signal from a little blue planet.

0:05:320:05:35

When it was processed, they realised that hidden

0:05:350:05:37

within the noise were pictures and sounds, including a series

0:05:370:05:41

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

0:05:410:05:45

in the universe.

0:05:450:05:48

Hang on, they are the Clangers.

0:05:480:05:53

April fools, everyone!

0:05:530:05:57

That's all from me.

0:05:570:06:00
