:00:13. > :00:19.sea, coming up. Plus, how to make paper out of fell fant poo. Keep --

:00:20. > :00:24.elephant poo. Keep watching. First, to exciting news about the

:00:25. > :00:28.possibility of the UK one day having its own spaceport. The Government

:00:29. > :00:35.has backed the idea as part of plans to increase space business.

:00:36. > :00:41.The UK's sprays industry is growing w the -- space industry is growing.

:00:42. > :00:46.One idea is the possibility of a spaceport on our doorstep. It is

:00:47. > :00:51.where we launch spacecraft. Might do it with rockets. We might do it in

:00:52. > :00:55.the future with space planes that take off like aircraft. We've never

:00:56. > :01:00.had anything like this in the UK before. It is exciting news. The

:01:01. > :01:06.world's first commercial spaceport officially opened in New Mexico in

:01:07. > :01:13.2011, with the aim of eventually taking ordinary people, albeit very

:01:14. > :01:18.rich, up into space. It costs ?120 million to build. If you are

:01:19. > :01:22.launching space planes, you would need long runways. Yes, it would

:01:23. > :01:27.look like an airport. You would need the buildings to service the planes

:01:28. > :01:33.in and so on. If you were launching rockets you would need such as you

:01:34. > :01:39.have at Cape Canaveral and in Kazakhstan. Where could we put one

:01:40. > :01:43.in the UK? If we are launching space planes and rockets, we need to

:01:44. > :01:48.launch them well away from populated areas. We need to think of remote

:01:49. > :01:52.areas of the UK. The north of Scotland is one of the areas being

:01:53. > :01:58.considered as a spaceport base. If it does go ahead then it could

:01:59. > :02:03.happen as soon as 2018. Toen ash shoe which has got -- to an issue

:02:04. > :02:06.which has got plenty of you speaking.

:02:07. > :02:12.What are they talking about? Household chores. The Spanish

:02:13. > :02:16.Government want to bring in guidelines that say all young people

:02:17. > :02:21.should help out around the house. I spoke to one family about the idea.

:02:22. > :02:25.I think it is pathetic because all the kids will think they cannot do

:02:26. > :02:32.what they want and have time with their friends. It is right because

:02:33. > :02:35.people, they sit down so their mums can just do it. I think the

:02:36. > :02:37.Government is right. And here is some more of your

:02:38. > :02:55.thoughts. Next, we all know that Britain is an

:02:56. > :03:00.island. Thousands of years ago that wasn't the case. There was an area

:03:01. > :03:04.called Doggerland that connected it to Europe. Now scientists say they

:03:05. > :03:09.have found out more about how it finally disappeared.

:03:10. > :03:14.The UK, as it is now. Imagine a time when you could have walked on land

:03:15. > :03:19.from here to northern Germany. Well, thousands of years ago it was

:03:20. > :03:24.possible. This area was known as Doggerland and connected us to

:03:25. > :03:29.Europe. There were humans living there and alongside them dear and

:03:30. > :03:34.there would have been a lot of fish in the sea that the humans hunted.

:03:35. > :03:40.Also there would have been a lot of vegetation, so fruit, as well as

:03:41. > :03:44.trees, grasslands. Scientists discovered the existence of

:03:45. > :03:49.Doggerland a few years ago. Now they know more about it. A tsunami,

:03:50. > :03:54.similar to the ones that devastated East Asia - these days they are

:03:55. > :03:58.extremely rare in Europe. Researchers believe 8,000 years ago

:03:59. > :04:03.a massive landslide off Norway caused a mass save wave that wiped

:04:04. > :04:08.out the last people to live in Doggerland. We know a tsunami

:04:09. > :04:12.happened because there was sed meant which have been found in Scotland

:04:13. > :04:17.and Norway, as well as Greenland as well. Other scientists have been

:04:18. > :04:25.able to date these samples and figure out this tsunami happened

:04:26. > :04:33.8,000 years ago. Sea levels were already rising causing Doggerland to

:04:34. > :04:39.become islands. This computer-generated image estimates

:04:40. > :04:44.the impact the wave would have had on however much was left. Now we

:04:45. > :04:50.know more about it than ever. There are many mysteries to unearth about

:04:51. > :05:01.the lost land under the sea. To the zookeepers putting poo to good use.

:05:02. > :05:03.These guys have figured out how to transporm elephant poo into --
