0:00:04 > 0:00:05Afternoon all!
0:00:05 > 0:00:07Ricky here with your Saturday Newsround.
0:00:07 > 0:00:09We're live with all of this:
0:00:09 > 0:00:12The first glimpse of Emily Blunt as the new Mary Poppins.
0:00:12 > 0:00:16The daredevils taking up icebiking.
0:00:16 > 0:00:26And spring is in the air in Japan.
0:00:30 > 0:00:33First to the story of a boy who, like thousands of children
0:00:33 > 0:00:34from Syria, has travelled to a new country in
0:00:35 > 0:00:37Europe to escape war.
0:00:37 > 0:00:40Jenny went to Sweden to catch up with him to see
0:00:40 > 0:00:42what life is like now.
0:00:42 > 0:00:44Meet Kava.
0:00:44 > 0:00:47He is ten years old and likes football, music and bowling.
0:00:47 > 0:00:51And, like millions of kids across Sweden, he's off to school.
0:00:51 > 0:00:57But 18 months ago, Kava's life was very different.
0:00:57 > 0:01:01Kava and his family were forced to leave Syria because of a war that
0:01:01 > 0:01:05has been going on there since 2011.
0:01:05 > 0:01:09Thousands of people have died and around 4 million people,
0:01:09 > 0:01:12like Kava, have had to leave the country to get
0:01:12 > 0:01:12away from the fighting.
0:01:12 > 0:01:17Many people have made long journeys to countries in Europe
0:01:17 > 0:01:21because they think they will be able to have a better life there.
0:01:21 > 0:01:24TRANSLATION: We left when it was evening and we were very
0:01:24 > 0:01:27scared on the road.
0:01:27 > 0:01:33It was completely dark.
0:01:33 > 0:01:35Kava and his family travelled from Syria to Turkey
0:01:35 > 0:01:38and then got on a boat
0:01:38 > 0:01:41to make a dangerous journey across the sea to a Greek island
0:01:41 > 0:01:44called Lesbos.
0:01:44 > 0:01:46TRANSLATION: We eventually took a small boat across
0:01:46 > 0:01:48the sea to Europe.
0:01:48 > 0:01:53And we were very terrified.
0:01:53 > 0:01:56Newsround first met Kava in 2015, shortly after he had
0:01:56 > 0:01:59arrived from Lesbos.
0:01:59 > 0:02:02TRANSLATION: I want to see my brother who lives in Sweden.
0:02:02 > 0:02:05He is already there and I want to join him.
0:02:05 > 0:02:07I miss him.
0:02:07 > 0:02:10And he got his wish.
0:02:10 > 0:02:12After getting a ferry to mainland Greece, Kava's family
0:02:12 > 0:02:17travelled overland by bus all the way to Sweden.
0:02:17 > 0:02:20Kava and his family have been living in this very snowy town
0:02:20 > 0:02:21for more than a year now.
0:02:21 > 0:02:25And Kava has even started going to his local school.
0:02:25 > 0:02:28So I have come to find out what his life is like now.
0:02:28 > 0:02:30TRANSLATION: I like the school.
0:02:30 > 0:02:31The school is good.
0:02:31 > 0:02:33There is no violence here.
0:02:33 > 0:02:36It is good here.
0:02:36 > 0:02:38I like Sweden.
0:02:38 > 0:02:42I like mathematics and doing my lessons.
0:02:42 > 0:02:46And writing on a computer, laptop or an iPad.
0:02:46 > 0:02:48I want to write.
0:02:48 > 0:02:52Learning Swedish was difficult at first but later it
0:02:52 > 0:02:54became easier, very easy.
0:02:54 > 0:02:58I have friends.
0:02:58 > 0:03:00They are very kind.
0:03:00 > 0:03:04They are good.
0:03:04 > 0:03:07My friends and I chase each other, run around
0:03:07 > 0:03:11and we slide our mattresses on the snow.
0:03:11 > 0:03:17Is there anything you miss about life with
0:03:17 > 0:03:18your friends in Syria?
0:03:18 > 0:03:20TRANSLATION: My friends are not in Syria any more.
0:03:20 > 0:03:22They went to Lebanon, Iraq and Turkey.
0:03:22 > 0:03:23They are not in Syria.
0:03:23 > 0:03:28I would like to meet them again.
0:03:28 > 0:03:29CHEERING
0:03:29 > 0:03:31Although Kava is happy to be settled
0:03:31 > 0:03:34with his family here in Sweden, I want to find out how
0:03:34 > 0:03:40he feels about having to leave his home in Syria.
0:03:40 > 0:03:45TRANSLATION: In our old home, we used to play.
0:03:45 > 0:03:49We had a laptop, we had a large house with a large
0:03:49 > 0:03:52garden when we used to play.
0:03:52 > 0:03:56But I don't remember much else.
0:03:56 > 0:04:00TRANSLATION: When the war broke out, everybody went in
0:04:00 > 0:04:01different directions.
0:04:01 > 0:04:04Some left their mothers, others their fathers
0:04:04 > 0:04:05or their brothers.
0:04:05 > 0:04:08Not many people stay together.
0:04:08 > 0:04:12TRANSLATION: We stuck together and held each other closely
0:04:12 > 0:04:15so none of us would be left behind.
0:04:15 > 0:04:17That is why we remained holding each other so strongly.
0:04:17 > 0:04:20What are your hopes for the future?
0:04:20 > 0:04:23TRANSLATION: Now I am with my brother, sister
0:04:23 > 0:04:24and parents here together.
0:04:24 > 0:04:25We are very happy.
0:04:25 > 0:04:27It is nice here.
0:04:27 > 0:04:29I wish to continue going to school and study
0:04:29 > 0:04:33and become something one day.
0:04:33 > 0:04:36For more about what's happening in Syria, go online
0:04:36 > 0:04:40for Newsround's guide.
0:04:40 > 0:04:44Now I want to tell you about a sport that's got some people talking.
0:04:44 > 0:04:46Cycling on ice isn't normally a good idea,
0:04:46 > 0:04:51but "ice biking" is becoming a booming sport all over the world,
0:04:51 > 0:04:52especially in Scandanavia.
0:04:52 > 0:04:54Now it's arrived in the UK.
0:04:54 > 0:04:58The back wheels on an ice bike are replaced with blades and the aim
0:04:58 > 0:05:02is to get round the course as quick as you can!
0:05:02 > 0:05:06Next, do you recognise this lady?
0:05:06 > 0:05:08Yes, it's the flying nanny Mary Poppins,
0:05:08 > 0:05:12played by Julie Andrews more than 50 years ago.
0:05:12 > 0:05:15Now Disney has released the first photo of the new-look Mary set to be
0:05:15 > 0:05:18recreated by Emily Blunt.
0:05:18 > 0:05:22The British actress will be dressing in her navy coat and picking
0:05:22 > 0:05:25up her patterned carpet bag for the sequel, which is due to be
0:05:25 > 0:05:33released on Christmas Day next year.
0:05:33 > 0:05:33That
0:05:33 > 0:05:34That is
0:05:34 > 0:05:34That is quite
0:05:34 > 0:05:34That is quite a
0:05:34 > 0:05:35That is quite a wait.
0:05:35 > 0:05:37Now, take a look at these pictures from Japan
0:05:37 > 0:05:39where spring is in the air.
0:05:39 > 0:05:42Cherry flowers are in full bloom on a type of tree that blossoms
0:05:42 > 0:05:43in early spring in Western Japan.
0:05:43 > 0:05:46Residents of this town planted around 1,000 of these trees over
0:05:46 > 0:05:48the last 30 years to attract lots of tourists.
0:05:48 > 0:05:49Don't they look pretty!
0:05:49 > 0:05:52And go online for loads more stories, including the twins helping
0:05:52 > 0:05:54Nasa's research into the affects of space travel on the body.
0:05:54 > 0:05:56And the secrets of how elephants sleep.
0:05:56 > 0:06:01That's all from me, Newsround's back right here at around quarter to two.
