Hello there, Martin here with all the day's best stories.

First to the children who have left Syria to get away from the war

there, but now cannot go to school.

World leaders are meeting in London today to try to do more for children

who are not getting an education.

But what should be done?

More than 4 million people, over half of them children,

have had to leave their homes and everything they own to escape

the war in Syria.

Many families run away to countries nearby like Lebanon or Jordan

where they live in special camps.

But these camps do not have enough school places for all the children

living there, so many of them miss out on an education.

In Lebanon, 130,000 children out of 338,000 children do not

go to school.

And in Jordan, 77,000 are out of school.

Syrian children in countries like Iraq and Turkey

are also affected.

Ahmed is 13 and from Syria.

He left his home in 2014, leaving all his belongings behind.

He now has a school place.

This year I went to school and I'm glad that I do.

My first day of school, we played in the playground,

then we went to class and studied.

I didn't like that the books were in English.

The UK Government says it is giving money to help children like Ahmed go

back to school.

It's also promised to take 20,000 refugees from camps over

the next four years.

But many campaigners, charities and politicians say that

Britain should be doing more, both for the children

inside the camps and for those who have made the journey to Europe.

For some lucky children in the camps, there is

the chance to learn.

Sarah is 12 and left Syria four years go with her family and now

lives in Lebanon.

I felt shy when I came to Lebanon.

It took about a month to make friends and that felt

like a long time.

I'm happy my headteacher enrolled me in this school,

and now I can continue my education.

I'm very happy, because I have made friends at school and outside school

and I have a lot of fun.

happening in Syria.

Next it's a very important question.

Which is your favourite pet,

cats or dogs - and why?

A new BBC documentary's been investigating.

Scientists

did fitness tests to see how much energy they each use.

They also filmed with special cameras to watch them

find their way around in new spaces.

And they're looking

at whether cats and dogs can count the number of spots on a screen.

If they pick the right one with the most spots on,

they get a treat and show how clever they are.

Here's presenter

Chris Packham with one of the scientists.

How about four or one?

Another treat.

At the moment, she seems to be doing quite well.

Looks promising, yes.

And you're testing a range of breeds, I take it?

Yes.

We've been testing up to 30 other dogs and they all enjoy the tasks.

We wanted to know what YOU think, so I went to a primary school

in Manchester to find out.

Dogs.

Because you can play with them and it's more fun

and they are loyal.

Dogs, because you can take them out on walks and cats just stay inside.

Cats, because they are cute.

They're sometimes friendly, too.

I like dogs, because you can take them to the park and play with them.

I don't really like cats, because they won't want to go

with you to play outside.

Cats, they're peaceful, they purr, you can cuddle them and then

they just go off and do what they want.

If you're blind, dogs can guide you and with cats, they can't.

You've been sending YOUR comments to our website.

Daisy in Essex prefers cats,

they are calm and peaceful.

Dogs are always barking and trying

to scratch precious things.

Conor in Northern Ireland thinks

dogs are better because they can save people's lives.

And Evie from Cardiff says cats.

Mine is always there for me and their meows are so sweet.

Thanks

for all those, guys.

Next, an osprey missing from a Scottish nature reserve

for more than 18 months has been found almost 3,000 miles away

on a beach in West Africa.

The bird had been tagged with a lightweight satellite tracker.

He's now been found by a field officer from the Leicestershire

Rutland Wildlife Trust in Senegal.

It runs a project there to educate schoolchildren about osprey

migration to West Africa.

Leah's back in the morning so don't miss it.

Bye!
