Hi, it's Nel with your late update. First, playground politics in

:00:00.:00:11.

Westminster. Year four at Dairwendeg Primary School told us, we're only

:00:12.:00:15.

eight and nine and we know not to behave like that. Adam says, they're

:00:16.:00:18.

acting like children calling each other silly names. And Alex thinks

:00:19.:00:20.

it's "ridiculous and childish." Those are just a few comments you've

:00:21.:00:24.

been sending in telling us exactly what you think of two of the most

:00:25.:00:28.

important politicians in the UK hurling insults at each other in

:00:29.:00:31.

Parliament and most of you are not impressed. Yesterday, The Leader of

:00:32.:00:34.

the Opposition Ed Miliband called the Prime Minister a Dunce, meaning

:00:35.:00:37.

stupid. And then David Cameron called Ed Miliband a Muppet. It is

:00:38.:00:44.

basic maths, Mr Speaker, not some much the world of Wall Street, the

:00:45.:00:51.

Dons of Downing Street! I will take a lecture from almost any money in

:00:52.:00:54.

the country about the sale of the Royal Mail, but not from the two

:00:55.:01:01.

moppets who advised the last Chancellor on selling!

:01:02.:01:04.

This morning, David Cameron defended his use of Muppet, saying there's a

:01:05.:01:08.

lot of banter in Parliament and it wasn't inappropriate. But Ayshah's

:01:09.:01:11.

been speaking to another MP about this and she asked, if kids get told

:01:12.:01:14.

off for name-calling, why do ministers behave this way? This was

:01:15.:01:20.

not typical. It was wrong. It should not happen again. And when something

:01:21.:01:25.

is wrong and gets to a point where we have got youngsters and other

:01:26.:01:29.

ages saying this went too far, that will bring probably this sea change

:01:30.:01:35.

or the shift that most us want to see.

:01:36.:01:38.

But we weren't done there. Some school kids also put their questions

:01:39.:01:42.

to Nick de Bois too. Erika asked him how he felt when the Prime Minister

:01:43.:01:45.

said "Muppet". Frankly, I was surprised when he said it. I just

:01:46.:01:50.

think that sometimes, and maybe we are all guilty of this, sometimes

:01:51.:01:55.

something comes out of your mouth and you just regret it. I was just

:01:56.:01:59.

surprised. I imagine if anybody was looking at me, they might have seen

:02:00.:02:06.

my eyes opening enterprise. -- in surprise.

:02:07.:02:08.

There's loads more of your comments on our website. Moving on, a

:02:09.:02:11.

dinosaur chase that happened a hundred and ten million years ago

:02:12.:02:14.

has been digitally reconstructed. The footprints were found seventy

:02:15.:02:17.

years ago and scientists pieced together old photographs from its

:02:18.:02:20.

discovery to make this. Preserved in an ancient river bed in Texas but

:02:21.:02:23.

the section was removed and bits of it got lost. But scientists joined

:02:24.:02:27.

together old photos taken when the footprints were discovered, allowing

:02:28.:02:30.

the chase scene to be seen as a whole again for the first time since

:02:31.:02:33.

it was removed. Turning our attention to space and a

:02:34.:02:36.

new satellite has been launched today as part of A European project

:02:37.:02:40.

to gather more images of Earth. The Sentinel 1A spacecraft is the first

:02:41.:02:44.

of a number of satellite's being launched to gather more information

:02:45.:02:47.

about our planet. It's hoped this long-term programme will help

:02:48.:02:49.

scientists keep track of changes to the earth's environment and better

:02:50.:02:52.

understand the human impact on it. That's all form Newsround and CBBC

:02:53.:02:56.

for Thursday evening. We're back tomorrow morning.
