0:00:06 > 0:00:07Good morning.
0:00:07 > 0:00:10I'm Jenny, live with all the news you need to know this Thursday.
0:00:10 > 0:00:11Coming up in the next few minutes...
0:00:11 > 0:00:14The smoky fog that's choking some of China's big cities.
0:00:14 > 0:00:19And Chelsea's mega unbeaten run comes to an end against Spurs.
0:00:31 > 0:00:33First up, the person whose job it is to speak up
0:00:33 > 0:00:36for kids in England, called the Children's Commissioner,
0:00:36 > 0:00:39says you need more advice about staying safe online.
0:00:39 > 0:00:42She says lessons should start when kids are four and the rules
0:00:42 > 0:00:45of apps should be clearer.
0:00:45 > 0:00:46But do you agree?
0:00:46 > 0:00:51The Commissioner told Newsround what she thinks should happen.
0:00:51 > 0:00:53Well, I want to see lessons in every school.
0:00:53 > 0:00:56We want to put together all the children in secondary
0:00:56 > 0:00:58schools with younger children to lead those lessons and make sure
0:00:58 > 0:01:03children learn things that they need to know about their time online.
0:01:03 > 0:01:10You should have an independent person who you can go to if things
0:01:10 > 0:01:17go wrong online and they can help sort out those difficulties.
0:01:17 > 0:01:19So what do you think about the idea of lessons in schools?
0:01:19 > 0:01:21We asked these children.
0:01:21 > 0:01:25When you're older, you do need them to stay safe as you know a lot
0:01:25 > 0:01:27more about social media, how to log on.
0:01:27 > 0:01:29When you're younger, you might forget a lot
0:01:29 > 0:01:30and not really know.
0:01:30 > 0:01:34So there's no real point wasting time on it.
0:01:34 > 0:01:39When you are in primary, it is never about that.
0:01:39 > 0:01:41It is just about what game you're playing or something.
0:01:41 > 0:01:45I know that most kids, they don't read the terms and conditions.
0:01:45 > 0:01:49So, I think the terms and conditions and the important stuff that
0:01:49 > 0:01:52you need to know about setting up a profile, they need to be more
0:01:52 > 0:01:57talked about and kids need to be told about privacy settings.
0:01:57 > 0:02:02Rules need to be short and snappy, like one, two, three, not 15 pages.
0:02:02 > 0:02:09In lessons, I would like to find out more about how children are put
0:02:09 > 0:02:13in a position to be bullied and how we can prevent that.
0:02:13 > 0:02:16So, by reading shorter terms and conditions and by going on sites
0:02:16 > 0:02:20that you should be allowed on and not other ones.
0:02:20 > 0:02:26We want to know what you think about this.
0:02:26 > 0:02:28Should all kids get lessons about sharing safely online?
0:02:28 > 0:02:30Do you need more information about what you are signing up
0:02:30 > 0:02:32to when you use social media apps?
0:02:32 > 0:02:34Get to Newsround online and have your say.
0:02:34 > 0:02:36We'll read some of your comments out later.
0:02:36 > 0:02:40The Chinese capital of Beijing is on red alert because a thick
0:02:40 > 0:02:42blanket of pollution, called smog, has been covering
0:02:42 > 0:02:43the city for the last week.
0:02:43 > 0:02:47People have been saying it's the worst-ever case,
0:02:47 > 0:02:50and it's been causing all sorts of problems.
0:02:50 > 0:02:57It could so easily be mistaken for a winter mist,
0:02:57 > 0:03:00slowly creeping around the buildings and down the streets of Beijing.
0:03:00 > 0:03:01But the people living there know better.
0:03:01 > 0:03:03Over the last week, northern parts of China,
0:03:03 > 0:03:06including the capital, Beijing, have been badly affected
0:03:06 > 0:03:12by high levels of air pollution, which is referred to as smog.
0:03:12 > 0:03:15This means that the air has become so polluted that the particles
0:03:15 > 0:03:18in it can actually be seen and it looks like a smoky fog,
0:03:18 > 0:03:20hence the word "smog".
0:03:20 > 0:03:23It can be caused by factories burning lots of coal and exhaust
0:03:23 > 0:03:29from high levels of traffic.
0:03:29 > 0:03:32The weather also plays a major part, and if there is not much wind,
0:03:32 > 0:03:35polluted air can gather and stay in one place for a long time.
0:03:35 > 0:03:38Beijing is particularly bad at this time of year as the cold
0:03:38 > 0:03:41temperatures mean the factories to the south of the city burn more
0:03:41 > 0:03:47coal to keep you warm.
0:03:47 > 0:03:50Smog can cause health problems by making it difficult to breathe,
0:03:50 > 0:03:52irritating the eyes and nose and making it harder
0:03:52 > 0:03:54for the body to fight infections and illnesses properly.
0:03:54 > 0:03:56It has a huge impact on people's lives.
0:03:56 > 0:03:59People have to take precautions if they leave their house,
0:03:59 > 0:04:03such as wearing facemasks.
0:04:03 > 0:04:06In some cases, schools have to be closed and kids
0:04:06 > 0:04:09are made to stay inside.
0:04:09 > 0:04:11Hundreds of flights have had to be cancelled and roads shut
0:04:11 > 0:04:12because of low visibility.
0:04:12 > 0:04:15Factories have also been closed to stop the situation getting worse.
0:04:15 > 0:04:17China's government says that it is working hard to reduce
0:04:17 > 0:04:19the amount of pollution in the air.
0:04:19 > 0:04:22But, for now, it is hoped that the winds predicted for the end
0:04:22 > 0:04:30of the week will clear the air and blow the smog away.
0:04:30 > 0:04:32Chelsea's incredible winning streak is over,
0:04:32 > 0:04:34after they were beaten 2-0 by Tottenham Hotspur
0:04:34 > 0:04:36at White Hart Lane.
0:04:36 > 0:04:41Two goals from Dele Alli ended Chelsea's run of 13 consecutive wins
0:04:41 > 0:04:46and moves Spurs up to third.
0:04:46 > 0:04:48That's all from us for now, but Newsround's back right
