Hello! You're live at five with Newsround. I'm Nel and He's Ricky.

We have a cracker of a show for you today, including: The UK's first

ever operation in 3D. And you put the stars of Pirates

through their paces. But first to the weather. This time

last week we were enjoying bright sunshine and record temperatures in

places like Aberdeen. But it's gone from sun to snow! Today, Scotland

is experiencing freezing temperatures, sleet and ice. Nearly

25cm of the white stuff has fallen overnight. 3,000 homes are without

electircity, and nine people, including six teenagers, had to be

rescued in the Cairngorms after they got stranded during the sudden

change in temperature. We're told temperatures might be a bit more

summery by the weekend. Here's hoping.

The next time you get your pocket money, you may want to take a

closer look to make sure it's real, because the number of dodgy �1

coins has doubled in the past ten years. There are nearly 44 million

fakes out there now, so I've been to find out more. Don't you just

hate it when you're dying for a snack and the machine won't take

your money? It may be because the �1 coin you put in was a fake. In

the last nine months the number of fake �1 coins making their way into

tillsers purses and piggy banks in the UK has gone up by 3 million.

There are now 44 million �1 coins out there that aren't real. That's

3 in every 100. It is easier for shopkeepers to spot a fake note.

They can use a special pen or check for a watermark. But fake �1 coins

are harder to spot. See if the picture matchs the date it was made

and check the markings around the edge. The Royal Mint are worried,

because thin crease could lead to them having to scrap the old �1

coins and reissue new once. It is bad news for the Government,

because the Government has to replace the money that's fake.

Companies don't get as much money as they expected. And it is bad

news for people who are caught out. They don't have as much money to

spend. The Royal Mint says if you find a fake �1 coin take it to your

police station. This one is definitely a fake!

But it sure tastes good. LOL indeed. Tasty money.

Some deadly dinosaur news next. One of the world's top dino experts

says these fearsome fellas might have lived in water rather than

roaming Earth. Scientists now think their tails were so heavy they

could be supported only in lakes and seas.

Next, you've definitely heard of 3D films, but what about 3D

operations? Surgeons in Manchester have carried out the first UK

procedure using the technology. The special glasses allow them to see

what they're doing in 3D on a big screen. They say it will help them

cause less damage and be more accurate. All this week we are

celebrating Newsround's 40 th birthday by looking back at what

made the news from the different decades. Today I looked at my era,

Hi everyone I'm Ricky and welcome to a special Newsround. All this

week we are celebrating the programme's 40th birthday by

looking at what's changed while we've been on the telly. Today I've

come to the national media museum in Bradford to look at the decade

which brought tech knoll into our homes. I'm talking about personal

computers, video games and giant mobile phones. Welcome to the '80s.

Hello again... Hello again... is what Newsround looked like back

then. We've had lots of letters asking twhot is for. One of the big

stories we covered was the Falklands. They lie 8,000 mile in

the South Atlantic. The Falklands islands have been under British

control since the 1830s. Argentina in South America has long said the

islands should belong to them, and on 2nd April 1982 they invaded.

British Prime Minister matcher reacted quickly, sending 28,000

troops and more than 100 ships to defend them. On 14th June, two

months after the invasion, Argentina surrendered. 255

servicemen lost their lives as well as Argentinians and islanders. The

UK Government says as long as the islanders want to remain British

they will continue to be looked after. Over the year this is

programme has tried to keep you informed with all of the big

stories wherever they are happening. But it is not just the big events

we report on. When we come across stories that are out of the

ordinary we bring them to you. Limbo roller skating.

This is Humphrey the elephant seal. Every night this week we'll be

looking back at what else has changed, so tune in at 6.55pm on

CBBC. Tune in to our special bulletin at

6.55. And it is on the Newsround website.

One thing that's changed since the 1980s the way cartoons are made.

Aardman Animations have made Pirates, An Adventure With

Scientists. One younger film can gore had an invention of his own

when he quizzed the star and the director for the charity Film Club.

What's the most technically demanding part of the film?

suppose putting a model ship which is a huge thing about five metres

long, and putting it into a computer-generated sea. That was a

huge technical achievement. I had a team working on that for probably a

year. Some of you are just fished dressed up in a hat. How do you get

into your character? I looked at him and the more I looked at him I

thought the centre of his character was his beard. If I thought

beautiful beard, I'm magnificent, I became him. And he's got a stupid

face. Stupid and beardy. That looked like a lot of fun.

Before you see the movie check out the website for Joe's review of

Pirates, An Adventure With Scientists.

Finally, hitting the water would be the last thing you wanted to do if

you are playing golf, but not if you are John Senden. He wowed

audiences at the American masters by skimming the ball across the
