You're watching Newsround, with me, Leah, this Wednesday afternoon.

0:00:030:00:06

We're live for the next five minutes.

0:00:060:00:07

Coming up:

0:00:070:00:12

This spacecraft's final mission on Saturn.

0:00:120:00:15

And how peanut paste is saving kids' lives.

0:00:150:00:19

First, a service of hope and remembrance has been

0:00:280:00:31

held in London two weeks on from the Westminster attack.

0:00:310:00:34

Five people, including the attacker, died, and at least

0:00:340:00:36

50 people were hurt.

0:00:360:00:41

Today, 2000 people gathered at a multi-faith service

0:00:410:00:43

in Westminster Abbey, including family of those who died,

0:00:430:00:46

emergency services staff, and the Duke and Duchess

0:00:460:00:48

of Cambridge.

0:00:480:00:52

The violent assault two weeks ago against Londoners and visitors to

0:00:520:00:55

the city from around the world, and the killing

0:00:550:00:57

of a police constable on

0:00:570:00:59

duty at the Palace of Westminster, have shocked people everywhere.

0:00:590:01:04

At a time of sorrow, a time when we are

0:01:040:01:07

tempted to despair, may we find hope.

0:01:070:01:17

And if you want to find out more about what happened

0:01:170:01:19

in Westminster two weeks ago, then head to Newsround online.

0:01:190:01:23

This small packet might not look like much, but it's saving thousands

0:01:230:01:26

of children's lives around the world right now.

0:01:260:01:28

Inside is peanut paste, and it's helping kids

0:01:280:01:30

who don't have enough to eat.

0:01:300:01:34

One place they're being used is South Sudan, in Africa,

0:01:340:01:36

where a famine has been declared.

0:01:360:01:40

BBC reporter Anna Foster is there and sent us this.

0:01:400:01:46

This is a special nutrition centre where mums bring their babies.

0:01:460:01:51

Just over there, they are being weighed, and

0:01:510:01:56

they have a special tape that goes round a baby's arm

0:01:560:01:59

to see whether or not it

0:01:590:02:00

is malnourished.

0:02:000:02:01

In this area, it is called Unity State, it is about the

0:02:010:02:04

size of Greater Manchester, and 290,000 children

0:02:040:02:06

are severely malnourished

0:02:060:02:07

and need serious help.

0:02:070:02:08

They come to places like this to get it.

0:02:080:02:10

There are lots of special things that can be given to the children

0:02:100:02:20

when they've had not enough to eat that really help

0:02:220:02:24

improve their health.

0:02:240:02:25

Emily is from Unicef, and what you are

0:02:250:02:27

holding here, Emily, is

0:02:270:02:28

something that looks really small in a packet, but this can save a

0:02:280:02:31

child's life.

0:02:310:02:32

It can.

0:02:320:02:33

So, this is a package of nuts, oil and milk, and

0:02:330:02:36

essentially what this does is, it nourishes the baby really quickly,

0:02:360:02:39

so a child will take this for about a week,

0:02:390:02:41

and you can see the

0:02:410:02:42

difference in a couple of days.

0:02:420:02:44

They put their weight back on, and it

0:02:440:02:45

completely changes their appearance.

0:02:450:02:46

So, it is a bit of a miracle food, really.

0:02:460:02:49

So, this would be the same as a meal?

0:02:490:02:51

Yeah, exactly.

0:02:510:02:52

They can take between one and three a day,

0:02:520:02:54

and for between seven days and 14 days, and what this will do is, it

0:02:540:02:58

will completely transform the children who are

0:02:580:03:01

severely malnourished.

0:03:010:03:03

This is really special stuff, and you can see some of the children

0:03:030:03:07

round here taking it.

0:03:070:03:08

A box of this is about ?60, and they say every box

0:03:080:03:10

save a child's life here in South Sudan.

0:03:100:03:16

Thanks, Anna.

0:03:160:03:17

You can find out more about the crisis in South Sudan,

0:03:170:03:20

and why it's happening, in our guide at Newsround online.

0:03:200:03:25

A spacecraft that's been orbiting around the planet Saturn

0:03:250:03:27

for the past 13 years is about to start its final mission.

0:03:270:03:30

But what exactly will it be doing?

0:03:300:03:32

Here's Jenny.

0:03:320:03:34

Meet Cassini.

0:03:340:03:35

Liftoff of the Cassini spacecraft....

0:03:350:03:40

After a seven-year journey through the solar system,

0:03:400:03:44

it's been circling Saturn since 2004, its mission, to find out more

0:03:440:03:47

about the planet and its family of rings and moons, but not for much

0:03:470:03:53

longer, because it's running out of fuel.

0:03:530:03:55

But before that happens, it's got a pretty important job to do.

0:03:550:03:58

For the next five months, the spacecraft will dive through the

0:03:580:04:01

2400-kilometre gap between Saturn and its rings as part of the

0:04:010:04:04

mission's grand finale.

0:04:040:04:10

But that's not all.

0:04:100:04:12

This will happen not once but 22 times.

0:04:120:04:16

On the final orbit, Cassini will plunge into Saturn,

0:04:160:04:20

fighting to keep its antennae pointed at Earth as it sends its

0:04:200:04:23

goodbye message.

0:04:230:04:27

It's hoped the craft's final close-up findings will

0:04:270:04:29

help us understand how giant planets form and grow over time.

0:04:290:04:36

Pretty good for a final outing!

0:04:360:04:43

Finally, this pink diamond has been sold for a price

0:04:430:04:45

that's out of this world!

0:04:450:04:46

The rock is the largest of its kind ever found,

0:04:460:04:49

and has just been bought at auction for more than ?57 million

0:04:490:04:52

in Hong Kong by a jewellery shop.

0:04:520:04:53

That's all from me.

0:04:530:04:55

Newsround's back tomorrow morning with Jenny at 7.40.

0:04:550:04:56

Bye.
