First, to one of the world's poorest countries - Uganda, in Africa. | :00:19. | :00:21. | |
Life in the slums there can be incredibly hard but kids in the | :00:22. | :00:24. | |
capital have come up with a way to change their lives for the better. | :00:25. | :00:30. | |
YouTube has played a part in the success of Justin Bieber, Arianna | :00:31. | :00:34. | |
But check out these guys - Ghetto Kids. | :00:35. | :00:41. | |
This home-made video shot them to fame when it was uploaded | :00:42. | :00:43. | |
It's had almost five million views from across the world - | :00:44. | :00:50. | |
and now they perform in some of the biggest shows in Uganda. | :00:51. | :00:55. | |
Several people have posted on YouTube, trying to dance like these | :00:56. | :00:58. | |
Their success hasn't come easy, though - they train every day, | :00:59. | :01:06. | |
either rehearsing routines or doing exercises. | :01:07. | :01:10. | |
The brains behind it all is their maths teacher who set up | :01:11. | :01:13. | |
the group as a way to help poorer children in his neighbourhood. | :01:14. | :01:17. | |
As we dance, maybe someone might get money and it can pay for school | :01:18. | :01:25. | |
Many of the group's members come from the Kampala slums - the poorest | :01:26. | :01:30. | |
parts of the city, where even the basics of life, like food and | :01:31. | :01:33. | |
Houses are often little more than shacks. | :01:34. | :01:37. | |
My life was bad because I would go out in the street and start to beg. | :01:38. | :01:44. | |
Since performing with the Ghetto kids, Alex | :01:45. | :01:45. | |
and his family can afford this home, and he's able to go back to school. | :01:46. | :01:51. | |
But it won't be the last you hear of them - | :01:52. | :01:53. | |
the group are working harder than ever and are now releasing their own | :01:54. | :01:57. | |

The early favourite to win is singer Pixie Lott. | :02:15. | :02:24. | |
Who knows what is going to happen? It feels like pressure, and I don't | :02:25. | :02:31. | |
like to focus on pressure. I will pretend I have not heard it and | :02:32. | :02:33. | |
carry on and have fun. And if Strictly's not your thing, | :02:34. | :02:41. | |
then a new BBC One show starts tonight | :02:42. | :02:42. | |

animals and 400 different species, including elephants, | :02:46. | :02:51. | |
monkeys and tigers. But it was also home to one | :02:52. | :02:52. | |
very lucky girl, who once called This was once home to June Williams, | :02:53. | :02:55. | |
after her family bought the manor in What did you get up to here | :02:56. | :03:05. | |
as a nine-year-old? I would come home from school and I | :03:06. | :03:14. | |
would straightaway get changed out I was allowed to play with Mary | :03:15. | :03:17. | |
and around the zoo with her. A new drama starts tonight, based | :03:18. | :03:25. | |
on the life of June and her family. Do you think anyone would really | :03:26. | :03:39. | |
believe what kind of life she had? When I was reading the script, I | :03:40. | :03:45. | |
did not think it was a real story. When she was taking me around, | :03:46. | :03:48. | |
she would say that the window is different | :03:49. | :03:57. | |
because the bear had broken it. She told me stories | :03:58. | :04:01. | |
and told me about what it was like. I could not have been more pleased | :04:02. | :04:10. | |
about the way she has portrayed me. But I did not really think | :04:11. | :04:14. | |
it warranted a film! It was normal for you because it | :04:15. | :04:19. | |
happened and you know everything, but to someone reading it, it is | :04:20. | :04:25. | |
like, that could not have happened! You look like you will be | :04:26. | :04:30. | |
best friends for life! And finally, | :04:31. | :04:33. | |
if you thought Usain Bolt's sporting skills were restricted to | :04:34. | :04:43. | |
the track, then think again. The world's fastest man has been | :04:44. | :04:45. | |
showing off his cricket skills in a special exhibition match, and he | :04:46. | :04:48. | |
certainly seemed to enjoy himself. Newsround's back with | :04:49. | :04:54. | |
Martin this afternoon. | :04:55. | :04:58. |
