:00:00. > :00:00.promoted Burnley FC special. Good morning, Newsrounders, and

:00:00. > :00:09.welcome to all of Friday's best stories with me, Ayshah. Coming up:

:00:10. > :00:19.Why this house in China has been turning upside down. Amla: Icon Tim

:00:20. > :00:24.Peake and I am an astronaut. What do you think I should be eating in

:00:25. > :00:30.space? First, to a row over one of the

:00:31. > :00:33.world's biggest natural wonders. Scientists are unhappy with a

:00:34. > :00:38.decision to dump waste material into the Great Barrier Reef, off the cost

:00:39. > :00:42.of Australia. The Government there has decided to allow the dumping of

:00:43. > :00:46.millions of tonnes of sludge from the sea bed in order to make room to

:00:47. > :00:49.expand a major coal port on the coast. But scientists from UNESCO, a

:00:50. > :00:53.world science group, say it's so bad for the marine life on the reef that

:00:54. > :00:58.it's putting the site in danger. At the end of the day, what determines

:00:59. > :01:01.the health of the reef? It is water quality. There is a recognition of

:01:02. > :01:05.water improvement. There is recognition of a deep, clear,

:01:06. > :01:08.long-term plan on water quality. To the latest on Ukraine next, where

:01:09. > :01:11.there's reports that the country's army have launched an attack aimed

:01:12. > :01:15.at taking back control of the City of Sloviansk. It's currently

:01:16. > :01:19.controlled by groups that want Russia to have more influence in the

:01:20. > :01:24.country as part of forced takeovers of several towns and cities across

:01:25. > :01:27.the east of Ukraine. Ukraine's government is trying to drive them

:01:28. > :01:38.out, with reports of gunfire and military helicopters flying over the

:01:39. > :01:41.outskirts of the City this morning. And you can find out more about the

:01:42. > :01:50.history of what is happening in Ukraine on the newsround website.

:01:51. > :01:54.What does an astronaut eat in space? Well, today, the UK Space Agency is

:01:55. > :01:57.giving you the chance to decide. Children aged eight to 14 are being

:01:58. > :02:01.asked to design a meal for British astronaut Tim Peake to eat when he

:02:02. > :02:05.heads into space. But the food he'll eat needs to last a long time, be

:02:06. > :02:08.healthy and be suitable for the conditions in space. Newsround

:02:09. > :02:11.chatted to Tim at his training in Houston, Texas, to give you some

:02:12. > :02:15.tips. The competition is for young students to design a meal for me to

:02:16. > :02:18.eat in space. The winning teams will get to actually prepare this meal

:02:19. > :02:21.with celebrity chef Heston Blumenthal. The ideal meal is

:02:22. > :02:23.something which obviously tastes really nice, something which

:02:24. > :02:28.triggers memories - whether that's friends or families or the outdoors.

:02:29. > :02:32.You don't want to just open up a packet of warm mush that doesn't

:02:33. > :02:36.taste very good - it gives you the right nutrition, but it doesn't

:02:37. > :02:39.taste very good. You want it to be something exciting. It's got to last

:02:40. > :02:45.a long time. Two years' shelf life is a minimum. Then it has to be able

:02:46. > :02:50.to travel up to space, so it needs to be in a sealed packet. That might

:02:51. > :02:54.be in a can, it might be in a foil pouch, for example, or a a plastic

:02:55. > :02:56.pouch. And also, you don't want too many crumbs from something like

:02:57. > :03:00.bread or biscuits, because crumbs also are going to get all over the

:03:01. > :03:04.place, and they're going to get into the air ventilation system and

:03:05. > :03:08.you're going to end up having to clean out all of your filters at the

:03:09. > :03:12.end of the week. We only have a hot water dispenser on board the Space

:03:13. > :03:16.Station or a can heater, so those are the two ways we can get heat

:03:17. > :03:22.into our food. On the whole, the space food is not bad, but I think

:03:23. > :03:25.there's room for improvement. More on that in half an hour.

:03:26. > :03:26.And sticking with out-of-this world news, NASA's been showing off what

:03:27. > :03:30.they hope will be news, NASA's been showing off what

:03:31. > :03:33.worn by the first astronauts to fly to Mars The American space agency

:03:34. > :03:38.have revealed these pictures of the Z-2 spacesuit.

:03:39. > :03:41.have revealed these pictures of the light-emitting patches and other

:03:42. > :03:48.technology to adapt to who's wearing it. It's only a prototype at the

:03:49. > :03:51.moment and beat off two other designs that the public voted for.

:03:52. > :03:54.Imagine never meeting your brother or sister for 80 years Well, that's

:03:55. > :03:59.exactly what happened with Elizabeth Hamel and Ann Hunt. That is exactly

:04:00. > :04:08.what happened to these two twins, who were separated at birth. How

:04:09. > :04:15.lovely to see you in the flesh! This is the moment sisters Elizabeth and

:04:16. > :04:19.Anne-Marie United. One was adopted as a baby and one moved to America.

:04:20. > :04:25.They were brought back together as part of a special project. Before

:04:26. > :04:29.that, Anne-Marie didn't even know she had a sister. I wanted to pinch

:04:30. > :04:38.myself. Am I dreaming? I've got someone... You know, as well as me.

:04:39. > :04:40.Part of me, you know? A twin. Over in China, this very

:04:41. > :04:44.strange-looking house is proving very popular with people. No, you're

:04:45. > :04:48.not looking at it the wrong way round. The house has been made that

:04:49. > :04:51.way on purpose. And when you head inside, everything is stuck on the

:04:52. > :04:56.ceiling, including the bed, sofas, chairs and tables and even the

:04:57. > :05:00.toilet. Might give that one mess.
