:00:00. > :00:08.Afternoon, Newsrounders - Ricky here to tell you how to print a 3D house
:00:09. > :00:17.and why this mountain's up for sale. Stay tuned.
:00:18. > :00:23.But let's start with the topic that's prompted absolutely loads of
:00:24. > :00:25.you to email in today - whether you prefer paper books or electronic
:00:26. > :00:28.versions? Lolly from Wokingham told us she
:00:29. > :00:31.thinks reading books on paper makes them special, telling us - books
:00:32. > :00:35.last forever, but technology doesn't.
:00:36. > :00:38.Rhys agrees that paper books are more reliable, but says electronic
:00:39. > :00:44.copies are good because sometimes you can find free ones!
:00:45. > :00:47.You've been getting in touch after we ran an interview this morning
:00:48. > :00:50.with the author of The Tiger Who Came To Tea. Judith Kerr was
:00:51. > :00:53.speaking about whether paper books will eventually be replaced, with
:00:54. > :01:01.the latest figures showing sales are at an 11-year low. Tim Muffet went
:01:02. > :01:05.to meet her. The reporter who came to tea.
:01:06. > :01:14.Suddenly there was a ring at the door. Sophie's mummy said, I wonder
:01:15. > :01:22.who that could be? I have been invited to Judith Kerr's house, the
:01:23. > :01:30.creator of many children's books. This is the room where the Tiger who
:01:31. > :01:34.came to tea and log came to life? The Tiger who came to tea is the
:01:35. > :01:41.story of younger, Sophie, and a tiger becomes uninvited to the
:01:42. > :01:46.house. Helping himself to all the food and they may have, he even
:01:47. > :01:51.dreads all the water from the taps. I had the children, I made up
:01:52. > :01:57.stories for them. And one was the story about a tiger which my
:01:58. > :02:03.daughter liked and made me tell her again and again. The book was first
:02:04. > :02:07.published back in 1968 and still sells lots of copies today.
:02:08. > :02:11.Judith's stories have remained popular throughout the years but
:02:12. > :02:19.with new ways of reading, does she still think there is a place for
:02:20. > :02:25.paper books, --? Do you worry that children are accessing books through
:02:26. > :02:30.electronic devices? Some votes which you may be read once and don't want
:02:31. > :02:39.to read again, I do not think paper books are ever going to disappear.
:02:40. > :02:42.-- books. And more of you still getting in
:02:43. > :02:47.touch on this. Bekir likes reading books on paper, but says - when I
:02:48. > :02:49.don't have the book with me I read it on my tablet.
:02:50. > :02:53.And Alice prefers paper books because you can turn the pages. She
:02:54. > :02:57.says: I know it sounds weird, but I love the smell of new books!
:02:58. > :02:59.To Ukraine next, where fierce fighting's set to continue today.
:03:00. > :03:03.The government there says it'll carry on with plans to try and
:03:04. > :03:06.re-take control of several towns and cities in the East of the country.
:03:07. > :03:09.Armed groups who want more Russian influence in those places have taken
:03:10. > :03:12.over government buildings and airports recently and there were
:03:13. > :03:15.serious clashes yesterday. It's all to do with a split between those who
:03:16. > :03:17.support more Russian influence and those who want to be closer to
:03:18. > :03:21.Europe. Next - 3D printing's been used to
:03:22. > :03:25.try and create all kinds of things up until now but could it help to
:03:26. > :03:28.build houses? Well architects in Amsterdam think so. They've started
:03:29. > :03:30.work on a full-size 3D-printed home. They say it could be an
:03:31. > :03:33.environmentally friendly way to construct cities in the future.
:03:34. > :03:37.Here's Jenny. Could this be the way houses are
:03:38. > :03:41.made in future? No beams, bricks or tiles - just a massive 3D printing
:03:42. > :03:46.machine. This is the first project of its kind so how do you print a
:03:47. > :03:57.huge house? The BBC's Anna Holligan took a look at how it works. It is
:03:58. > :04:04.built inside a huge shipping container. Here we have the latest
:04:05. > :04:08.part of the Amsterdam 3D house - this will be the balcony - you can
:04:09. > :04:21.see the machine layering it, almost like a glue gun. Only one section
:04:22. > :04:24.has been made so far. But the people behind it hope eventually all the
:04:25. > :04:28.pieces will slot together, like a giant Lego building! It's expected
:04:29. > :04:34.to take years to complete, but could one-day become a more eco-friendly
:04:35. > :04:48.form of construction. You could shred with plastic into materials.
:04:49. > :04:51.These kids have been given a first-hand view. So do they think
:04:52. > :04:55.the idea could work? It allows us to live without chopping down trees.
:04:56. > :05:00.After all - if there's no plants left, then there's no us left. But
:05:01. > :05:03.the architects working on the project hope it'll make people at
:05:04. > :05:14.least think about how we build things in years to come.
:05:15. > :05:23.Now ever dreamed of owning your own mountain? What do you mean no!
:05:24. > :05:28.Blencathra, in Cumbria is being sold off by its owner to help him pay off
:05:29. > :05:31.a large bill he owes the government. The land belongs to the The Earl of
:05:32. > :05:35.Lonsdale - his family bought the mountain 400 years ago. Whoever buys
:05:36. > :05:38.it would own 2,677 acres, these amazing views and the title Lord of
:05:39. > :05:44.the Manor of Threlkeld. The UK's top hovercraft drivers are on the start
:05:45. > :05:47.line. The first race starts today. The hovercrafts can go from 0-60 in
:05:48. > :05:50.less than four seconds. The sport is popular amongst teenagers and the
:05:51. > :05:54.action can get incredibly heated. You shut your eyes and you go for
:05:55. > :06:00.it. You are not looking further breaks, you're not fussing to slow
:06:01. > :06:01.down. That is it. Newsround is back again tomorrow
