0:00:11 > 0:00:14Hello there, Martin here with all the day's best stories.
0:00:14 > 0:00:17First to the children who have left Syria to get away from the war
0:00:17 > 0:00:20there, but now cannot go to school.
0:00:20 > 0:00:23World leaders are meeting in London today to try to do more for children
0:00:23 > 0:00:24who are not getting an education.
0:00:25 > 0:00:30But what should be done?
0:00:30 > 0:00:33More than 4 million people, over half of them children,
0:00:33 > 0:00:36have had to leave their homes and everything they own to escape
0:00:36 > 0:00:40the war in Syria.
0:00:40 > 0:00:43Many families run away to countries nearby like Lebanon or Jordan
0:00:43 > 0:00:50where they live in special camps.
0:00:50 > 0:00:53But these camps do not have enough school places for all the children
0:00:53 > 0:00:55living there, so many of them miss out on an education.
0:00:55 > 0:00:58In Lebanon, 130,000 children out of 338,000 children do not
0:00:58 > 0:00:59go to school.
0:00:59 > 0:01:02And in Jordan, 77,000 are out of school.
0:01:02 > 0:01:04Syrian children in countries like Iraq and Turkey
0:01:04 > 0:01:06are also affected.
0:01:06 > 0:01:12Ahmed is 13 and from Syria.
0:01:12 > 0:01:14He left his home in 2014, leaving all his belongings behind.
0:01:14 > 0:01:17He now has a school place.
0:01:17 > 0:01:21This year I went to school and I'm glad that I do.
0:01:21 > 0:01:25My first day of school, we played in the playground,
0:01:25 > 0:01:26then we went to class and studied.
0:01:26 > 0:01:28I didn't like that the books were in English.
0:01:28 > 0:01:32The UK Government says it is giving money to help children like Ahmed go
0:01:32 > 0:01:33back to school.
0:01:33 > 0:01:36It's also promised to take 20,000 refugees from camps over
0:01:36 > 0:01:39the next four years.
0:01:39 > 0:01:41But many campaigners, charities and politicians say that
0:01:41 > 0:01:45Britain should be doing more, both for the children
0:01:45 > 0:01:49inside the camps and for those who have made the journey to Europe.
0:01:49 > 0:01:51For some lucky children in the camps, there is
0:01:51 > 0:01:53the chance to learn.
0:01:53 > 0:01:56Sarah is 12 and left Syria four years go with her family and now
0:01:56 > 0:01:58lives in Lebanon.
0:01:58 > 0:02:02I felt shy when I came to Lebanon.
0:02:02 > 0:02:05It took about a month to make friends and that felt
0:02:05 > 0:02:06like a long time.
0:02:06 > 0:02:09I'm happy my headteacher enrolled me in this school,
0:02:09 > 0:02:11and now I can continue my education.
0:02:11 > 0:02:14I'm very happy, because I have made friends at school and outside school
0:02:14 > 0:02:18and I have a lot of fun.
0:02:18 > 0:02:20And go onto our website to read our special guide to what's
0:02:20 > 0:02:24happening in Syria.
0:02:26 > 0:02:27Next it's a very important question.
0:02:27 > 0:02:28Which is your favourite pet,
0:02:28 > 0:02:30cats or dogs - and why?
0:02:30 > 0:02:33A new BBC documentary's been investigating.
0:02:33 > 0:02:34Scientists
0:02:34 > 0:02:36did fitness tests to see how much energy they each use.
0:02:36 > 0:02:39They also filmed with special cameras to watch them
0:02:39 > 0:02:42find their way around in new spaces.
0:02:42 > 0:02:43And they're looking
0:02:43 > 0:02:48at whether cats and dogs can count the number of spots on a screen.
0:02:48 > 0:02:50If they pick the right one with the most spots on,
0:02:50 > 0:02:52they get a treat and show how clever they are.
0:02:52 > 0:02:53Here's presenter
0:02:53 > 0:02:55Chris Packham with one of the scientists.
0:02:55 > 0:02:56How about four or one?
0:02:56 > 0:02:59Another treat.
0:02:59 > 0:03:01At the moment, she seems to be doing quite well.
0:03:01 > 0:03:06Looks promising, yes.
0:03:06 > 0:03:08And you're testing a range of breeds, I take it?
0:03:08 > 0:03:09Yes.
0:03:09 > 0:03:16We've been testing up to 30 other dogs and they all enjoy the tasks.
0:03:16 > 0:03:19We wanted to know what YOU think, so I went to a primary school
0:03:19 > 0:03:21in Manchester to find out.
0:03:21 > 0:03:22Dogs.
0:03:22 > 0:03:25Because you can play with them and it's more fun
0:03:25 > 0:03:27and they are loyal.
0:03:27 > 0:03:31Dogs, because you can take them out on walks and cats just stay inside.
0:03:31 > 0:03:32Cats, because they are cute.
0:03:32 > 0:03:37They're sometimes friendly, too.
0:03:37 > 0:03:41I like dogs, because you can take them to the park and play with them.
0:03:41 > 0:03:44I don't really like cats, because they won't want to go
0:03:44 > 0:03:48with you to play outside.
0:03:48 > 0:03:51Cats, they're peaceful, they purr, you can cuddle them and then
0:03:51 > 0:03:55they just go off and do what they want.
0:03:55 > 0:04:00If you're blind, dogs can guide you and with cats, they can't.
0:04:00 > 0:04:03You've been sending YOUR comments to our website.
0:04:03 > 0:04:04Daisy in Essex prefers cats,
0:04:04 > 0:04:06they are calm and peaceful.
0:04:06 > 0:04:08Dogs are always barking and trying
0:04:08 > 0:04:10to scratch precious things.
0:04:10 > 0:04:12Conor in Northern Ireland thinks
0:04:12 > 0:04:15dogs are better because they can save people's lives.
0:04:15 > 0:04:17And Evie from Cardiff says cats.
0:04:17 > 0:04:20Mine is always there for me and their meows are so sweet.
0:04:20 > 0:04:21Thanks
0:04:21 > 0:04:23for all those, guys.
0:04:23 > 0:04:26Next, an osprey missing from a Scottish nature reserve
0:04:26 > 0:04:30for more than 18 months has been found almost 3,000 miles away
0:04:30 > 0:04:32on a beach in West Africa.
0:04:32 > 0:04:36The bird had been tagged with a lightweight satellite tracker.
0:04:36 > 0:04:39He's now been found by a field officer from the Leicestershire
0:04:39 > 0:04:42Rutland Wildlife Trust in Senegal.
0:04:42 > 0:04:45It runs a project there to educate schoolchildren about osprey
0:04:45 > 0:04:50migration to West Africa.
0:04:50 > 0:04:53Leah's back in the morning so don't miss it.
0:04:53 > 0:04:57Bye!
