Good afternoon! I'm Leah, guiding you into the weekend with your | :00:00. | :00:07. | |
Friday Newsround. Coming up: Why thousands of firefighters are | :00:08. | :00:10. | |
refusing to work on one of the busiest nights of the year. | :00:11. | :00:15. | |
And how do you tell the difference between a left and a right wag? | :00:16. | :00:25. | |
First, have you ever imagined what it would be like to live in a war | :00:26. | :00:29. | |
zone? We have covered the conflict in Syria for more than two years. | :00:30. | :00:33. | |
Thousands of people have died in fighting between government forces | :00:34. | :00:36. | |
and rebel groups. Millions more have fled the country. It is often hard | :00:37. | :00:40. | |
for us to find out what life is like for those right in the heart of the | :00:41. | :00:44. | |
war, but BBC reporter Lyse Doucet has had a chance to see it first | :00:45. | :00:49. | |
hand. I've been talking to her from the capital, Damascus. Day-to-day | :00:50. | :00:58. | |
life is not what's life should be like at all. In Syria, tragically, | :00:59. | :01:03. | |
children are not getting hit by accident, they are being targeted in | :01:04. | :01:06. | |
this war. children, you are of course | :01:07. | :01:12. | |
targeting the future of Syria. And yet, I have to say, the youngest | :01:13. | :01:18. | |
Syrians are always the ones who tell me the most courageous stories. | :01:19. | :01:23. | |
Sounds really powerful. Let's talk about some of the children you spoke | :01:24. | :01:29. | |
to. Most of the ones I met in refugee camps, what do they want? | :01:30. | :01:33. | |
They are not dreaming of living in a castle in the sky or being a | :01:34. | :01:37. | |
princess or a superhero, they want a normal life. They want to go to | :01:38. | :01:41. | |
classes and have a routine and go home and find their parents still | :01:42. | :01:46. | |
alive. They want to spend time being with their friends, brothers and | :01:47. | :01:49. | |
sisters. Achieving that is the most important thing for them. | :01:50. | :01:53. | |
Next, it's set to be a busy weekend for Bonfire Night parties, but | :01:54. | :01:55. | |
tonight, many firefighters across England and Wales are refusing to go | :01:56. | :01:59. | |
out to work. They are going on strike for four and a half hours | :02:00. | :02:03. | |
because of a row over the age you can get your pension, the money you | :02:04. | :02:08. | |
get after you retire. The government wants firefighters to work until | :02:09. | :02:11. | |
they are 60. Any major blazes will be put out, but fire bosses are | :02:12. | :02:15. | |
urging people to not set off any fireworks or start bonfires tonight. | :02:16. | :02:19. | |
Next, when a dog wags its tail, it's happy, right? Turns out that's not | :02:20. | :02:24. | |
always the case. A bunch of scientists in Italy have been doing | :02:25. | :02:27. | |
some very in-depth work on the wagging of dogs' tails. This is what | :02:28. | :02:31. | |
they worked out. All dogs wag their tails from side to side. When they | :02:32. | :02:35. | |
veer more to the right, they are happy, but when they wag over to the | :02:36. | :02:39. | |
left more, they might be scared They also worked out that other dogs | :02:40. | :02:42. | |
picked up on the differences, becoming more anxious at a left wag, | :02:43. | :02:46. | |
and relaxed when the wag was to the right. All day on the Newsround | :02:47. | :02:49. | |
website, you have been telling us how your pets communicate, and it's | :02:50. | :02:51. | |
not just dogs! Well, I am joined on the Newsround | :02:52. | :03:12. | |
sofa by Danielle Middleton Beck who is an expert in pet behaviour. Hi, | :03:13. | :03:17. | |
Danielle. Loads of Newsround viewers got in touch about all sorts of pets | :03:18. | :03:21. | |
today. Can animals really tell you how they're feeling? Yes. They have | :03:22. | :03:29. | |
a vast array of body language they can use. As the study suggested | :03:30. | :03:33. | |
they can wag their tails or move their ears to try and emphasise the | :03:34. | :03:37. | |
emotions they are feeling, and we can learn to read that. Are all pets | :03:38. | :03:45. | |
the same, though? Not precisely the same. They all have emotions, but | :03:46. | :03:52. | |
they will convey information differently. This information was | :03:53. | :03:57. | |
all about wagging tails. Why did the scientists focus on that? A lot of | :03:58. | :04:02. | |
it is to do with safety. Many of us have dogs in our homes, and they | :04:03. | :04:07. | |
have been known to bite people. If we can understand them, we might get | :04:08. | :04:11. | |
more of a warning. If they are anxious, they might be more likely | :04:12. | :04:16. | |
to bite us, so we can move away and prevent that happening. When my pet | :04:17. | :04:21. | |
dog knows she is in trouble, she hides her face. It is all about us | :04:22. | :04:27. | |
learning how to pick up on those signs. | :04:28. | :04:32. | |
Don't forget to check out the Newsround website for loads of | :04:33. | :04:35. | |

tonne dinosaur could have walked, and try our Bonfire Night quiz. | :04:39. | :04:42. | |
