:00:35. > :00:39.Good morning - Ricky here with news on e-books and hovercrafts to come,
:00:40. > :00:42.but let's start in Ukraine, where the battle to control parts of the
:00:43. > :00:45.country is continuing this morning. The Government says its army will
:00:46. > :00:48.carry on fighting armed groups, who've taken over several Eastern
:00:49. > :00:51.towns and cities, because they want more Russian control in the country.
:00:52. > :00:54.There was fierce violence yesterday as the two sides clashed. America
:00:55. > :00:58.says the violence is senseless. Next to books - and the question of
:00:59. > :01:01.whether you still read paperbacks? The rise of the e-book means the
:01:02. > :01:05.number of people buying them has fallen. Tim Muffet went to meet The
:01:06. > :01:09.Tiger Who Came To Tea author Judith Kerr to see what she thinks about
:01:10. > :01:11.it, and find out where she gets her ideas from.
:01:12. > :01:15.The reporter who came to tea. "Suddenly, there was a ring at the
:01:16. > :01:17.door. Sophie's mummy said, I wonder who that can be?"
:01:18. > :01:21.Hello, Judith. I have been invited to Judith Carr's house, creator of
:01:22. > :01:25.The Tiger Who Came To Tea, Mog, and many other famous children's books.
:01:26. > :01:27.So this is the room where The Tiger Who Came To Tea and Mog all came to
:01:28. > :01:31.life. Everything I've ever done, I've done
:01:32. > :01:35.in this room. The Tiger Who Came To Tea is the story of a young girl,
:01:36. > :01:38.Sophie. And Tiger, who comes round, uninvited, to her house. He helps
:01:39. > :01:42.himself to all the food and drink they have. He even drains all the
:01:43. > :01:46.water from the taps. We had the children and I made up
:01:47. > :01:49.stories for them. And one of them was the story about a tiger, which
:01:50. > :01:52.my daughter liked and made me tell her again and again.
:01:53. > :01:55.The book was first published back in 1968 and still sells lots of copies
:01:56. > :02:01.today. Judith's stories have remained popular through the years.
:02:02. > :02:07.Does she still think there is a place for paper books? Some new
:02:08. > :02:13.children accessing books through electronic devices. It is not the
:02:14. > :02:17.same. Some books are all right as an e-book. Which you would maybe read
:02:18. > :02:23.once and never read again. I do not think that printed books will never
:02:24. > :02:26.disappear. They are different thing. And we want to hear whether you
:02:27. > :02:33.prefer reading books on screen or paper. Head to the website to let us
:02:34. > :02:37.know. It can reach speeds of 70 miles per
:02:38. > :02:41.hour, it hasn't got any breaks and it travels on land and water. The
:02:42. > :02:44.drivers of the UK's top hovercrafts are gearing up for the first race of
:02:45. > :02:47.the British championship in Lancashire today. The hovercrafts
:02:48. > :02:51.can go from 0-60 miles in less than four seconds. The sport is said to
:02:52. > :02:54.be popular amongst teenagers and the action can get incredibly heated.
:02:55. > :03:00.I'll have more for you just before 12. Bye.
