It's time for Wednesday's top stories. | :00:00. | :00:00. | |
Ayshah here this afternoon with all of this coming up. | :00:00. | :00:08. | |
And the New Zealand police officers busting some serious moves. | :00:09. | :00:15. | |
First, we've covered poo power before on Newsround, | :00:16. | :00:27. | |
where poo is used to power everything from our heating, to | :00:28. | :00:30. | |
Who'd have thought you could turn this... | :00:31. | :00:43. | |
Every day, nearly 10 billion litres of urine is produced worldwide. | :00:44. | :00:51. | |
That's enough to fill 4,000 Olympic-sized pools. | :00:52. | :00:55. | |
And here in Bath, they are using urine to do | :00:56. | :00:58. | |
This is possible by using this device. | :00:59. | :01:10. | |
Inside the device there are bacteria eating the urine | :01:11. | :01:13. | |
And those electrons are forced to flow through an external circuit. | :01:14. | :01:21. | |
It's this flow of electrons that is actually electricity. | :01:22. | :01:26. | |
This technology isn't new, but what's different about this | :01:27. | :01:28. | |
device is that it's smaller, cheaper and more powerful. | :01:29. | :01:33. | |
Well, because this is a fuel that we'll never run out of. | :01:34. | :01:37. | |
Every day, we produce something like a litre and a half of urine. | :01:38. | :01:44. | |
Could I use this to power my phone one day? | :01:45. | :01:47. | |
This is what we're working on at the moment, to be able | :01:48. | :01:51. | |
to generate enough power for a smartphone, a laptop | :01:52. | :01:53. | |
OK, so powering my phone isn't the most important thing, | :01:54. | :02:00. | |
of course, but it's hoped, one day, this technology could be | :02:01. | :02:03. | |
used to provide electricity to people in poorer countries. | :02:04. | :02:07. | |
So, next time you go to the loo, you can have a think | :02:08. | :02:10. | |
about how your wee could be powering the future. | :02:11. | :02:15. | |
Next, if you've been online today you might have noticed something | :02:16. | :02:18. | |
new on our website - this signed version of Newsround. | :02:19. | :02:21. | |
It's been specially made for Deaf Awareness Week. | :02:22. | :02:24. | |
It includes some of our top stories, and it's been | :02:25. | :02:27. | |
And Ashley's here now along with his interpreter Adrian. | :02:28. | :02:34. | |
Adrian translates what I'm saying into British Sign Language so that | :02:35. | :02:37. | |
Ashley can understand it, isn't that right? | :02:38. | :02:43. | |
That is right. Adrian says out loud what Ashley is signing. Welcome both | :02:44. | :02:52. | |
of you to Newsround. What is signed Newsround? Signed Newsround is the | :02:53. | :02:59. | |
top stories, news reporting in British sign language. That means it | :03:00. | :03:05. | |
is accessible for young deaf children to see, enjoy and talk | :03:06. | :03:08. | |
about. He came into our studio today, what was that like? It was | :03:09. | :03:15. | |
fantastic, a great experience. A lot of fun. Some challenges along the | :03:16. | :03:17. | |
way because the process is different from making Newsround normally, but | :03:18. | :03:24. | |
we are making it an sign language so we had to make some changes to fit | :03:25. | :03:29. | |
the signing style. It all went really smoothly. What was the best | :03:30. | :03:35. | |
part? Well, there was a funny moment. You might have seen we were | :03:36. | :03:42. | |
talking about pee power, so when I was signing pee, it looked like | :03:43. | :03:50. | |
this. That's sign language. Finally, why is this so important? It is of | :03:51. | :03:57. | |
huge importance. Reporting the news in sign language so that young deaf | :03:58. | :04:02. | |
children at home have got full access. They can see the news in | :04:03. | :04:06. | |
their own language, what the headlines are. In daily life hearing | :04:07. | :04:11. | |
children can talk about the news but deaf children are missing out on | :04:12. | :04:14. | |
what the headlines are and what is happening in the world. Seeing it in | :04:15. | :04:19. | |
sign language means they can learn and they have got that equal access. | :04:20. | :04:24. | |
Thank you very much for joining us. That is online now. | :04:25. | :04:27. | |
And finally, Ashley, you'll love this. | :04:28. | :04:28. | |
Watch this clip of police in New Zealand. | :04:29. | :04:31. | |
The officers are busting a move to encourage others to join | :04:32. | :04:38. | |
the police there, and it's gone viral - | :04:39. | :04:40. | |
They're hoping police officers around the world will take part | :04:41. | :04:45. | |
Well, Hayley did it this morning, so, music! | :04:46. | :04:59. | |
Hayley is back tomorrow morning at 7:40am. | :05:00. | :05:02. |
