:00:09. > :00:13.We meet Alex from The Dumping Ground to talk about homelessness.
:00:14. > :00:26.And we've got some of your amazing World Book Day outfits.
:00:27. > :00:29.First, there are about to be some big changes to how the UK deals
:00:30. > :00:33.It's all because of something you might have heard mentioned
:00:34. > :00:42.I went to Scotland to find out what kids there think.
:00:43. > :00:45.Despite what people say, it's not always raining.
:00:46. > :00:53.There is loads to see and do and I love the museums.
:00:54. > :00:55.Glasgow, Scotland's largest city, where a lot of people have strong
:00:56. > :00:59.opinions on the vote that happened last year on whether the UK should
:01:00. > :01:05.leave a club of countries called the European Union.
:01:06. > :01:07.Across the whole UK, most people voted to
:01:08. > :01:13.Scotland, most people wanted to stay in it.
:01:14. > :01:17.So what do the children here think now the UK is leaving?
:01:18. > :01:21.Well, I think it is kind of bad because it leaves the UK more
:01:22. > :01:30.don't have the support that we used to since we've left the EU.
:01:31. > :01:33.The EU has different rules from what other
:01:34. > :01:36.countries have, if we leave we will not be following them any
:01:37. > :01:38.more, so it might be a bit confusing.
:01:39. > :01:41.I don't like the fact that we are leaving but I guess it
:01:42. > :01:46.I think children should have had a say because it will affect their
:01:47. > :01:50.I hope they don't keep going on about it, if they are going
:01:51. > :01:56.And there's loads more about Brexit and what it all means
:01:57. > :02:01.Next up and we're talking about the problem of homelessness.
:02:02. > :02:04.An estimated 1.2 million young people in England have at some point
:02:05. > :02:07.stayed in an unsecured or unsafe place because they felt they had
:02:08. > :02:14.It's an issue that Alex in the CBBC's The Dumping Ground has
:02:15. > :02:18.been experiencing in a new storyline on the show.
:02:19. > :02:22.Well, Connor Lawson, who plays Alex on The Dumping Ground,
:02:23. > :02:24.and Gaia Marcus, who works for the charity
:02:25. > :02:35.Thank you for coming on Newsround. Connor, tell us about Alex? God he
:02:36. > :02:41.is a pretty troubled kid, he has never had a good background, he has
:02:42. > :02:45.constantly been in and out of care, does not have a good father figure,
:02:46. > :02:49.you has put a wallop against the world and are showing off his bad
:02:50. > :02:55.behaviour and persona, but he just wants to be wanted on to have love
:02:56. > :02:59.from somebody. What is it like playing bad character? Pretty hard,
:03:00. > :03:05.the total opposite end of the scale to me. -- playing that character? I
:03:06. > :03:16.have been nurtured and loved coming he has not, it is a real eye-opener
:03:17. > :03:18.and it has been good for me to see it from a different perspective. How
:03:19. > :03:21.did you prepare? I did Method acting, I met up with a homeless guy
:03:22. > :03:28.from Newcastle, he talked to me, it was good to see him still smiling.
:03:29. > :03:31.How big a problem as this, Gaia? About 1.2 million young people have
:03:32. > :03:37.at some point live somewhere where they feel unsafe or insecure. We
:03:38. > :03:41.started a centrepoint helpline. When young people end up rough sleeping
:03:42. > :03:46.it is because they often do not know there is help available, or they see
:03:47. > :03:52.Calpol do not get the right help. What help is available? -- or they
:03:53. > :03:57.seek help or do not get the right help. You should go to your local
:03:58. > :04:02.council, the centrepoint helpline is there to ensure you know your
:04:03. > :04:05.options and rights, but always note that people under 18 are children in
:04:06. > :04:11.the eyes of the law, even if they don't feel like it, and something
:04:12. > :04:12.can be done. There is loads of help. Thank you both for coming on to
:04:13. > :04:14.Newsround and talking to us. And The Dumping Ground is on at 4.30
