:00:12. > :00:15.It's Monday 3rd December, you are watching Newsround. I'm Joe.
:00:15. > :00:20.Hayley. Stay where you are for some of this.
:00:20. > :00:25.A Royal baby is on the way! The Duchess of Cambridge is pregnant.
:00:25. > :00:30.Recorders are out and ukuleles in in many school music lessons.
:00:30. > :00:40.And some of the world's whackiest cars are up for sale. This is
:00:40. > :00:49.
:00:49. > :00:52.First, congratulations are in order for the Duke and Duchess of
:00:52. > :00:56.Cambridge. The Royal couple have announced that Kate is pregnant.
:00:56. > :00:59.People have been speculating for some time about when William and
:00:59. > :01:03.Kate would have their first child and St James's Palace say she went
:01:03. > :01:07.to hospital with morning sickness, a sign that a baby is on the way.
:01:07. > :01:11.The Royal baby will be third in line to the throne and the palace
:01:11. > :01:14.are said to be delighted. Next, with Christmas fast
:01:14. > :01:19.approaching, today's the biggest day of the year for online shopping.
:01:19. > :01:23.Many people will be using Amazon, a company which, along with Google
:01:23. > :01:26.and Starbucks, is being criticised for not paying enough tax in the UK.
:01:26. > :01:30.Despite making hundreds of millions of pounds each year, the companies
:01:30. > :01:34.pay relatively small amounts to the Government and they are not doing
:01:34. > :01:38.anything illegal but some think this is unfair.
:01:39. > :01:44.Starbucks, Google and Amazon, three brands many of us use almost daily.
:01:44. > :01:47.They make millions or even billions of pounds every year, but do they
:01:47. > :01:50.pay enough tax? Everyone has to pay tax. It's
:01:50. > :01:54.usually taken from your wages and the amount you pay depends on how
:01:54. > :01:59.much you earn. For shops and businesses in the UK, it's exactly
:01:59. > :02:05.the same. They pay corporation tax on the money they make.
:02:05. > :02:10.Taxes are used to pay for hospitals and schools and other things. Lots
:02:10. > :02:15.of international companies who sell their goods in the UK base their
:02:15. > :02:19.headquarters in European countries. The UK-based parts of them buy the
:02:19. > :02:22.rights to use their logo, meaning they make less profit here so pay
:02:22. > :02:29.less money to the UK Government. Some people think this is unfair,
:02:29. > :02:33.but what they are doing isn't actually illegal. Starbucks sold
:02:33. > :02:36.nearly �400 million worth of drinks to UK customers but paid no tax at
:02:36. > :02:41.all. Partly, it says, because it spent so much money on buying
:02:41. > :02:46.coffee beans and other things from Starbucks-based headquarters in
:02:46. > :02:50.other countries. Two weeks ah bosss from Google, Amazon and Starbucks
:02:50. > :02:54.had to answer a committee looking into how much tax they pay. Why on
:02:54. > :02:58.earth do you manipulate your accounts so that you get away with
:02:58. > :03:04.not paying corporation tax which is what this afternoon's about in the
:03:04. > :03:08.Respectfully, I would disagree with that characterisation. We do not
:03:08. > :03:13.manipulate anything anywhere. We do nothing to avoid taxes.
:03:13. > :03:17.Being in the news for paying little or no tax when you make millions of
:03:17. > :03:21.pounds in your cash registers could mean customers might go elsewhere.
:03:21. > :03:25.Starbucks say they are going to change the way they pay tax and
:03:25. > :03:29.meanwhile, the Government today announced they'll be tougher on
:03:29. > :03:33.companies, even if they appear to be using existing tax rules
:03:33. > :03:36.correctly. The draw's been made for the Rugby World Cup in 2015.
:03:36. > :03:40.England and Wales have been drawn in the same group and it's a tough
:03:40. > :03:44.one, it's got Australia in it too. Scotland are in the same group as
:03:44. > :03:48.South Africa and Samoa, while Ireland will play against France
:03:48. > :03:53.and Italy. The tournament will be held in England and Wales. In
:03:53. > :03:58.September and October is when they'll take place.
:03:58. > :04:03.That is 2015. For over 2,000 primary school children, last year
:04:03. > :04:08.things were more serious because they were arrested by the police.
:04:08. > :04:11.I've been to a police cell to see what it's like and to ask if it's
:04:11. > :04:16.as serious as it sounds. Getting arrested by the police is a
:04:16. > :04:20.big deal. For an adult, it can mean getting a fine, going to court and
:04:20. > :04:26.even being sent to prison. But it's not just grown-ups getting
:04:26. > :04:29.in trouble with the law. Every day; six primary school kids are
:04:29. > :04:34.arrested across England an Wales. In England and Wales, you can be
:04:34. > :04:37.arrested for a crime from the age of ten. But what happens when you
:04:37. > :04:42.are arrested? I've come to one of the biggest custody facilities in
:04:42. > :04:47.Cheshire to find out. If a child is arrested, and it's
:04:47. > :04:51.rare in Cheshire, they'll come into a block blieck this, they'll be
:04:52. > :04:55.brought in front of a sergeant -- block like this. They'll ask
:04:55. > :05:00.questions to the arresting officer as to why they've been arrested. We
:05:00. > :05:05.don't want to put people in cells. Unfortunately, sometimes we need to.
:05:05. > :05:09.For children, that should be and is very rare, but sometimes it does
:05:09. > :05:12.happen. Since 2008, more than one million kids under the age of 18
:05:12. > :05:16.have been arrested in England and Wales.
:05:17. > :05:24.Many people believe the figures shouldn't be that hiefplt I don't
:05:24. > :05:28.think ten-year-olds should be arrested at all where possible. For
:05:28. > :05:33.children, it can be traumatic. If you can avoid it, should.
:05:33. > :05:38.number of people arrested was down on last year and everyone agrees
:05:38. > :05:42.that it's very important that the figures keep falling.
:05:42. > :05:48.Now, for years, the recorder has been one of the first instruments
:05:48. > :05:52.you pick up at school, but could its days be numberd? More schools
:05:52. > :05:56.are choosing the ukulele and it's proving very popular. Teachers say
:05:56. > :06:03.it's cheaper than a recorder and apparently produces a better sound.
:06:03. > :06:08.Ricky has been seeing for himself. How to play an instrument with
:06:08. > :06:15.Ricky. Each week, I'll tell you how to play a different instrument.
:06:15. > :06:23.Last week, it was the piano. This week it's the recorder.
:06:23. > :06:26.No, Ricky, we don't play that here. Yes, the ukulele is the new
:06:27. > :06:33.instrument on the block with more schools ditching the recorder in
:06:33. > :06:43.favour of the ukulele. McFly are fans and the web is full of ukulele
:06:43. > :06:43.
:06:43. > :06:50.tutorials. This one is my favourite. I've come to a school in Cheltenham
:06:50. > :06:53.which has stopped teaching the recorder. Instead, they replaced it
:06:53. > :06:58.with one of these. How long have you been playing it for? Two weeks.
:06:58. > :07:04.How many weeks? Two weeks. Can you play a little bit for me? Yes.
:07:04. > :07:09.on then, let's see what you can do? Wow.
:07:09. > :07:13.The teachers here reckon it sounds a lot better and it's a much more
:07:13. > :07:17.sociable instrument. It's got the whole group together. So small so
:07:17. > :07:21.it's easy for young people like myself to learn. You can play on
:07:21. > :07:25.your own if you like, it's nice and small. I love it.
:07:25. > :07:31.You have to think quickly to move your fingers around? Yes, you can
:07:31. > :07:36.put the thing up there, down there, and it comes into seven. I think I
:07:36. > :07:46.need a bigger ukulele! I think I've learnt a few things. Can we put it
:07:46. > :07:47.
:07:47. > :07:50.into practice? Yes. Nice ukulele playing!
:07:50. > :07:55.You might remember, we told you about the owners of this house in
:07:55. > :08:00.China who refused to budge to make way for a new motorway. It meant
:08:00. > :08:03.the road had to be built around them after the rest of the road had
:08:03. > :08:06.been flattened. The house has been finally knocked down after the
:08:06. > :08:11.owners were offered more money to move out and find somewhere else to
:08:11. > :08:16.live. Bit of a shame I think. I liked it, it was like a different
:08:16. > :08:20.roundabout. To the musician who got a frosty reception. Charlie Simpson,
:08:20. > :08:27.the lead singer of Fight Star earned a place in the record books
:08:28. > :08:32.by giging in one of the coldest places on earth. -- gigging. He
:08:32. > :08:36.entertained a small crowd gathered in snowy Siberia. After the second
:08:36. > :08:42.song, I thought about stopping because my fingers, one of the most
:08:42. > :08:46.painful experiences in my life. sounded cold. Brrr... Bet you have
:08:46. > :08:52.never seen cars like these on the road. They are the most famous
