transfers. Make sure you join us tomorrow. We will show you what it | :00:00. | :00:00. | |
is like to be a commentator. Good morning to you this Friday. | :00:00. | :00:12. | |
Ricky here, from Newsround HQ, with loads of stories for you. Coming up: | :00:13. | :00:16. | |
could we be back on Panda watch soon? | :00:17. | :00:18. | |
Edinburgh's two giant pandas could be ready to mate once again. | :00:19. | :00:22. | |
First: It connects together most of the south west of England. But, for | :00:23. | :00:26. | |
the past two months, the railway line in Dawlish has looked more like | :00:27. | :00:29. | |
a broken roller-coaster. After it was destroyed in January's winter | :00:30. | :00:32. | |
storms, the people living in large parts of Cornwall and Devon have had | :00:33. | :00:35. | |
to find other ways of getting around. But, today, the line | :00:36. | :00:39. | |
reopens, and Ayshah is there for us. Ayshah, what's the mood like in the | :00:40. | :00:49. | |
town? Two trains have come roaring past! | :00:50. | :00:57. | |
It is back to business as usual. The town is excited, they have the | :00:58. | :01:02. | |
bunting up. People have been with their mobile phones taking pictures | :01:03. | :01:09. | |
of the trains going past. For 150 years, this rail line, which | :01:10. | :01:13. | |
connects large parts of the south west, has survived whatever the sea | :01:14. | :01:16. | |
has thrown at it. But this winter's storms proved too much. And, in | :01:17. | :01:20. | |
February waves punched a huge hole in the Dawlish line, leaving the | :01:21. | :01:23. | |
track suspended in mid-air like a broken roller-coaster. Since then, | :01:24. | :01:26. | |
Network Rail has spent about ?55 million to repair it. | :01:27. | :01:30. | |
It must have been a huge operation, to fix those tracks? | :01:31. | :01:41. | |
Engineers have working around the clock, working 24 hours a day, for | :01:42. | :01:45. | |
eight weeks. To locals, they've been known as the orange army, dressed in | :01:46. | :01:50. | |
their florescent gear. But it was hugely important to get this fixed | :01:51. | :01:54. | |
as quickly as possible. Having that line closed off was costing the | :01:55. | :01:59. | |
country a lot of money. Having it closed is thought to have cost the | :02:00. | :02:03. | |
country's economy ?2 million a day. But now, just as the busy time of | :02:04. | :02:07. | |
the Easter holidays begin, the railway here and large parts of the | :02:08. | :02:10. | |
south west are now open for business once again. | :02:11. | :02:14. | |
She's the author who inspired CBBC's Tracy Beaker and the Dumping Ground. | :02:15. | :02:17. | |
And, later this year, Jacqueline Wilson will release her 100th book. | :02:18. | :02:20. | |
Tomorrow, an exhibition opens at the V Museum of Childhood to celebrate | :02:21. | :02:23. | |
the former children's laureate. It features a recreation of | :02:24. | :02:25. | |
Jacqueline's childhood bedroom. And she told the BBC how different life | :02:26. | :02:29. | |
was like back when she was growing up. | :02:30. | :02:34. | |
We didn't even have a television in our living room until I was about | :02:35. | :02:40. | |
nine. No, children didn't have anything then. They had books and I | :02:41. | :02:45. | |
loved my books. It is strange, sitting here, and seeing a bed very | :02:46. | :02:50. | |
much like the one I had. The exact paintings I had on the wall. It is | :02:51. | :02:56. | |
what everybody thinks about, returning home to your childhood. | :02:57. | :03:05. | |
Tennis. And Andy Murray is in action later today, when Great Britain | :03:06. | :03:08. | |
takes on Italy in the Davis Cup quarterfinals. The Scot spent most | :03:09. | :03:11. | |
of yesterday in bed with a virus, but did manage to train for 50 | :03:12. | :03:15. | |
minutes last night. Team-mate James Ward is up against Fabio Fognini in | :03:16. | :03:18. | |
the first match this morning. And the Italian crowd will be behind | :03:19. | :03:20. | |
his opponent. Space news. And check out these | :03:21. | :03:24. | |
pictures of a satellite that was launched yesterday as part of a | :03:25. | :03:27. | |
European project to gather more images of Earth. The Sentinel-1A | :03:28. | :03:30. | |
spacecraft is the first of a number of satellites being launched to | :03:31. | :03:33. | |
gather more information about our planet. -- Saturn's icy moon, known | :03:34. | :03:37. | |
as Enceladus, could be home to life, according to Nasa scientists. | :03:38. | :03:39. | |
They've been looking at new data that's come back from the Cassini | :03:40. | :03:42. | |
probe, shooting through the solar system, scouting for signs of life. | :03:43. | :03:46. | |
It found evidence that suggests a huge volume of water underneath the | :03:47. | :03:49. | |
ice on the moon, which supports the idea that the frozen world could be | :03:50. | :03:53. | |
one of the most likely places in our solar system to support life. | :03:54. | :03:57. | |
We could soon be back on panda watch. Edinburgh Zoo's two giant | :03:58. | :04:00. | |
pandas could be ready to mate within the next week or two, according to | :04:01. | :04:03. | |
their keepers. Tian Tian and Yang Guang arrived in Scotland last year, | :04:04. | :04:07. | |
on loan from China. And everyone got very excited at the possibility of | :04:08. | 9:57:13 | |
baby pandas on the way. After a lot of waiting around, | 9:57:14 | 9:57:13 | |
baby pandas on the way. After a lot nothing. Pandas are famous for not | 9:57:14 | 9:57:13 | |
being good at breeding. The trailer for the Shaun The Sheep | 9:57:14 | 9:57:13 | |
movie has been released by its makers, Aardman, who also do Wallace | 9:57:14 | 9:57:13 | |
and Gromit. The movie follows the sheep as he swaps the farm, and | 9:57:14 | 9:57:13 | |
heads to the city for a new adventure. It hits cinemas around | 9:57:14 | 9:57:13 | |
the world in about a year. But you can see the trailer on the Newsround | 9:57:14 | 9:57:13 | |
website right now. While you're there, you need to see our guide to | 9:57:14 | 9:57:13 | |
when road markings go very, very wrong. And, a story about the cat | 9:57:14 | 9:57:13 | |
that got stuck down the back of a sofa, in a shop, for five days. | 9:57:14 | 9:57:13 | |
That's all from me. Newsround's back right here in half an hour. | 9:57:14 | 9:57:14 |
