Morning guys, it's Tuesday, I'm Ricky, this is Newsround. | :00:08. | :00:09. | |
A new world record for skipping - on four legs. | :00:10. | :00:12. | |
Plus, a sport specially designed for people who can't see. | :00:13. | :00:24. | |
But first this morning, you might have heard of a place | :00:25. | :00:27. | |
called Gibraltar being talked about in the news recently. | :00:28. | :00:29. | |
But where is it and why is it important? | :00:30. | :00:31. | |
Here's Jenny with everything you need to know. | :00:32. | :00:35. | |
Gibraltar - somewhere you or your friends may have visited on holiday. | :00:36. | :00:38. | |
It's famous for its sunshine, its large population of monkeys | :00:39. | :00:41. | |
That means people living there share the Queen and are protected | :00:42. | :00:49. | |
But it's also right next to Spain, which it used to be part of, | :00:50. | :00:56. | |
and for hundreds of years there have been arguments about | :00:57. | :00:59. | |
The people who live in Gibraltar have said strongly that they want | :01:00. | :01:02. | |
The British Prime Minister, Theresa May, says that she'll support them. | :01:03. | :01:10. | |
But now there is a new row over Gibraltar. | :01:11. | :01:12. | |
The UK has voted to leave a club of countries called | :01:13. | :01:15. | |
the European Union, so there will need to be discussions | :01:16. | :01:17. | |
about how Gibraltar and the EU will do business in future. | :01:18. | :01:22. | |
And the EU wants any decisions to be run by Spain first. | :01:23. | :01:25. | |
But the British Government doesn't want Spain to have the final say | :01:26. | :01:28. | |
about decisions that will affect Gibraltar. | :01:29. | :01:36. | |
It's a team sport designed for people who can't see. | :01:37. | :01:43. | |
Our BBC reporter, Salim, has been checking it out and joins me now. | :01:44. | :01:50. | |
I have a visual impairment and I wanted a sport | :01:51. | :02:00. | |
It has been given money to find future medal winners and I went | :02:01. | :02:04. | |
to meet 14-year-old Amelia who hopefully might be one of them. | :02:05. | :02:07. | |
Because you could be looking at a future gold medallist - | :02:08. | :02:12. | |
in the sport of goalball. Play! | :02:13. | :02:18. | |
Goalball was invented in 1946 to rehabilitate visually impaired | :02:19. | :02:21. | |
It's the only sport designed specifically for | :02:22. | :02:23. | |
The aim of the game is to get this, pretty | :02:24. | :02:34. | |
heavy ball, weighing over one kilogram, into the back of the | :02:35. | :02:37. | |
opposing team's net, whilst wearing a blindfold. | :02:38. | :02:39. | |
Because players cannot see, they have to use | :02:40. | :02:40. | |
These are bells inside the ball, which help them track where it is. | :02:41. | :02:52. | |
They also feel for markers on the floor to help them | :02:53. | :02:55. | |
She can't see very well but is really | :02:56. | :03:03. | |
good at goalball and has been spotted by Great Britain's | :03:04. | :03:06. | |
I think that when I got the e-mail, I didn't actually go | :03:07. | :03:10. | |
And it sort of made me realise that if I tried, then I could do it. | :03:11. | :03:17. | |
How does Amelia feel about becoming a possible Paralympic star of the | :03:18. | :03:20. | |
It feels like my dream would come true because that is all I have | :03:21. | :03:25. | |
Have you played the game? Yes, it is fun but it is painful when the ball | :03:26. | :03:50. | |
hits you. It stings but it is good fun. What is special about goalball? | :03:51. | :03:57. | |
You like it was designed for people like me who can't see. Are other | :03:58. | :04:01. | |
sports like football and cricket which have been adapted. The players | :04:02. | :04:07. | |
have to shout, so you know where they are. Goalball was made for | :04:08. | :04:11. | |
people like me. It is a unique sport for us. How do young people get | :04:12. | :04:30. | |
