:00:00. > :00:00.Premier League. We have a full preview of the games of the season.

:00:00. > :00:08.Join us then. Hello, I'm Leah and you're live with

:00:09. > :00:11.CBBC this Monday morning. Coming up.

:00:12. > :00:15.As the world's biggest footy tournament kicks off in just a few

:00:16. > :00:17.weeks' time, we find out what the hot Brazilian conditions could mean

:00:18. > :00:20.for players. And, the heart-shaped world record

:00:21. > :00:21.that's helped a teenage boy fulfil a dream.

:00:22. > :00:30.This is Newsround. First to Tokyo in Japan, where a

:00:31. > :00:34.strong earthquake has hit the city overnight. These pictures show the

:00:35. > :00:36.moment the quake struck in the early hours of Monday morning, shaking

:00:37. > :00:40.buildings across the Japanese capital, though there are no reports

:00:41. > :00:46.of major damage or any serious injuries. Researchers say it was the

:00:47. > :00:52.strongest tremor felt in the city since a series of major earthquakes

:00:53. > :00:55.hit the region in 2011. Next, could your six-week summer

:00:56. > :00:58.holiday be scrapped? Well, head teachers at schools across England

:00:59. > :01:04.are considering spreading the summer break more evenly through the year.

:01:05. > :01:07.The proposal is part of a new education policy being discussed by

:01:08. > :01:11.the National Association Of Head Teachers. The group's leader Russell

:01:12. > :01:14.Hobby has said that a shorter summer break could stop teachers getting

:01:15. > :01:19.too tired and cut expensive summer-holiday prices for families.

:01:20. > :01:22.Well, we want to hear what you think about this. Would you rather have

:01:23. > :01:28.more, shorter holidays through the year, or one long summer holiday,

:01:29. > :01:31.and why? Tell us on the website. The British tennis number one Laura

:01:32. > :01:35.Robson has paid tribute to her friend and team-mate Elena Baltacha,

:01:36. > :01:40.who has died overnight at the age of 30 from liver cancer. Baltacha was

:01:41. > :01:44.herself the British number one for three years, and played for Team GB

:01:45. > :01:50.at the London Olympics in 2012, as well as thrilling the Wimbledon

:01:51. > :01:54.crowds. Born in Ukraine, she moved with her family to the UK and grew

:01:55. > :01:59.up in Scotland. She had a career troubled by illness and retired

:02:00. > :02:02.earlier this year. And if anything in the news upsets

:02:03. > :02:06.you, don't forget our website has help and advice for you.

:02:07. > :02:10.Next month, some of the best football players in the world will

:02:11. > :02:12.be heading to Brazil for the World Cup. While there's lots of

:02:13. > :02:14.excitement building around the competition, there's also worries

:02:15. > :02:22.the hot Brazilian climate could affect players.

:02:23. > :02:29.The World Cup is the biggest sporting event on the planet, and

:02:30. > :02:35.this summer it is Brazil's turn to host, as countries battle it out to

:02:36. > :02:41.be the best. Matches are being played at 12 stadiums across the

:02:42. > :02:48.country, from Rio to junior row to Manaus. Brazil has a hotter climate

:02:49. > :02:52.than us, and in the north and west of the country, it is especially hot

:02:53. > :02:57.and humid. Temperatures are regularly above 30 degrees. With

:02:58. > :03:01.some matches due to kick off at 1pm Brazil time, the hottest part of the

:03:02. > :03:07.day, some people are concerned it will be too hot. Football matches

:03:08. > :03:12.are not normally played at that time in those areas, so why are matches

:03:13. > :03:16.being played so early? The most important TV audience is in Europe,

:03:17. > :03:20.so FIFA want three separate kick-off times per day, all of them

:03:21. > :03:26.convenient for the European audience. With the time difference

:03:27. > :03:30.between Brazil and the UK, the only way to do that is to start early.

:03:31. > :03:35.You would never have a big local game kicking off at 1pm in the

:03:36. > :03:40.north-east of Brazil, it is too hot. The players and coaches tell me it

:03:41. > :03:44.is inhumane to expect World Cup players to run around in that heat.

:03:45. > :03:48.There will be breaks for the players to drink water, but they will get

:03:49. > :03:53.tired more quickly, and it will not be easy for them to recover in time

:03:54. > :03:56.for the next match. FIFA have ruled out changing the start times, so

:03:57. > :03:58.teams will have to suffer the pressure of heat.

:03:59. > :04:01.Now, you might have heard of teenager Stephen Sutton. He's become

:04:02. > :04:05.well known for raising more than ?3 million for charity over the last

:04:06. > :04:08.four years. Well, now the 19-year-old from Staffordshire, who

:04:09. > :04:11.has a form of cancer, may have got himself into the record books for

:04:12. > :04:15.getting 554 people together to make heart-shaped hand gestures at the

:04:16. > :04:18.same time for three minutes. Event organisers say the previous record

:04:19. > :04:22.was 501. Stephen has a bucket list of things he wants to do before he

:04:23. > :04:31.dies, and he thanked everyone for turning up.

:04:32. > :04:34.Hello, everyone! I will keep it short and sweet, but thank you for

:04:35. > :04:36.coming, it is good to be here. Thank you.

:04:37. > :04:40.Music now, and Calvin Harris has scored his sixth UK number one. The

:04:41. > :04:44.DJ and producer knocked Mr Probz and his single Waves off the top spot in

:04:45. > :04:47.Sunday's official chart with his new track Summer. Last year, Harris

:04:48. > :04:51.became the first artist in UK music history to have nine top-ten singles

:04:52. > :04:54.from one album. His new album is due out later this year.

:04:55. > :04:58.Newsround's back right here in about half an hour, when we'll hear from

:04:59. > :05:00.British tennis number one Andy Murray about who he might choose as

:05:01. > :05:02.his next coach.
