Hello there. Remember, remember, the 5th November. It's Bonfire | :00:10. | :00:13. | |
Night, and you are watching Newsround! You are live and it's | :00:13. | :00:18. | |
just after 5. I'm Nel, he's Joe and this is what we have on the show | :00:18. | :00:21. | |
tonight. America gets ready to vote for a | :00:21. | :00:28. | |
new President. It's 60 years since the start of the singles chart and | :00:28. | :00:32. | |
we play some golden oldies. I don't like it. | :00:32. | :00:42. | |
:00:42. | :00:52. | ||
And it's the coldest Bonfire Night First, there are just a few hours | :00:52. | :00:56. | |
left until millions of people vote for who they want to lead one of | :00:56. | :01:01. | |
the world's most powerful nations, America. The candidates, braifrpl | :01:01. | :01:06. | |
from the Democrats and Republican Mitt Romney have been flying all | :01:06. | :01:11. | |
over to convince people to vote for them -- Barack Obama from the | :01:11. | :01:14. | |
Democrats and Mitt Romney. They've been trying to convince America for | :01:15. | :01:18. | |
weeks that they are the best person for the job. It's a close race and | :01:18. | :01:21. | |
in national surveys of how people plan to vote, they are neck and | :01:21. | :01:26. | |
neck. In some of the States where it really matters, the swing states, | :01:26. | :01:29. | |
Obama is slightly ahead. Swing states are the ones in yellow, | :01:29. | :01:32. | |
they're important because people living there don't always vote the | :01:32. | :01:38. | |
same way so that means their votes could decide who wins. President | :01:38. | :01:42. | |
Obama and Mitt Romney are tied or within a couple of points that we | :01:42. | :01:47. | |
have seen so far. We have a handful of swing states where it could go | :01:47. | :01:52. | |
either way, like Florida, Virginia, Ohio. We don't know what's going to | :01:52. | :01:56. | |
happen. They've been travelling all over the country, and with only one | :01:56. | :01:59. | |
day to go they are not slowing down, travelling to seven states between | :01:59. | :02:06. | |
them. Where they can't physically be adverts on TV have been key to | :02:06. | :02:09. | |
their campaigns. 300,000 ads were broadcast last month. If you are | :02:09. | :02:16. | |
thinking this sounds very expensive. You are right. More than �1.5 | :02:16. | :02:19. | |
billion will be spent during the election. It's exhausting with both | :02:19. | :02:23. | |
candidates hardly sleeping. Barack Obama even sounded like he was | :02:23. | :02:30. | |
losing his voice on Sunday. Make some phone calls for me. Turn out | :02:30. | :02:34. | |
for me. We'll win Ohio. In a few hours' time, campaigning will be | :02:34. | :02:39. | |
over and the Americans will get their say on who they want to be | :02:39. | :02:44. | |
their next President. Ricky will have a Special Report on | :02:44. | :02:47. | |
the elections from America here at this time tomorrow. He's been in | :02:47. | :02:51. | |
the US since last week. You can read his blog about how he's been | :02:51. | :02:55. | |
getting on on the Newsround website. America is not the only country | :02:55. | :02:58. | |
waiting to see who its new President will be this week. In | :02:58. | :03:06. | |
China, a meeting is taking place where the Nkunda tri's new leader | :03:06. | :03:13. | |
will be announced -- the country's new leader will be announced. China, | :03:13. | :03:18. | |
it's the world's second richest country. Being in charge here is a | :03:18. | :03:23. | |
big deal. On Thursday, they'll find out who their new President is, as | :03:23. | :03:26. | |
well as the other top politicians who'll help run the country for the | :03:26. | :03:30. | |
next ten years. Unlike America and Britain, people | :03:30. | :03:37. | |
in heroin don't get to vote for who they want in charge. -- -- people | :03:37. | :03:47. | |
:03:47. | :03:51. | ||
in China. It's a huge organisation with more than 80 million members. | :03:51. | :03:55. | |
Many people expect this man, the current Vice-President, to be | :03:55. | :04:00. | |
announce as the new President on Thursday. | :04:00. | :04:05. | |
More people live in China than any other country. For every British | :04:05. | :04:11. | |
person, there are 20 Chinese people. China also had a lot of factories, | :04:11. | :04:15. | |
the toys you bought or own were probably made in China. So with all | :04:15. | :04:19. | |
these people and all these factories, China's become a more | :04:19. | :04:24. | |
and more important place and in the future, it could be as powerful as | :04:24. | :04:28. | |
the United States of America. So one of the big issue force | :04:28. | :04:33. | |
China's next President - during his ten years in power, the last | :04:33. | :04:37. | |
President helped make China four times richer. There's still a big | :04:37. | :04:43. | |
gap in the country between rich and poor. It's not fair. I've been to | :04:43. | :04:48. | |
the cities. They're rich. They eat in fancy restaurants every day. My | :04:48. | :04:52. | |
life doesn't compare. Many people also want to see China | :04:52. | :04:55. | |
become a fairer place. This woman wants her five-year-old son to go | :04:55. | :04:59. | |
to a good school. In order to make sure he has a place, she has to pay | :04:59. | :05:03. | |
bribes to local officials. Heroin is changing really quickly and | :05:03. | :05:06. | |
whoever the new President is, they'll have to work hard to keep | :05:06. | :05:12. | |
the country's people happy. Thank you Ore. Joe, remember a time | :05:12. | :05:17. | |
when music was played on something like that? You can play music on | :05:17. | :05:25. | |
those?! I don't remember that at all! Really... 60 years ago is when | :05:25. | :05:31. | |
the music charts began. Dub Step and hip-hop didn't exist and garage | :05:31. | :05:36. | |
was where you puts your bike. Have our tastes change? I went to find | :05:36. | :05:39. | |
out. If I was to say superhit single, | :05:39. | :05:45. | |
what would usually come to mind. Maybe a bit of this. | :05:45. | :05:50. | |
Poker face Hrbgs # Light up my world like | :05:50. | :05:55. | |
nobody else Or maybe this # Got time but I | :05:55. | :06:00. | |
don't mind... # We have seen the good, bad and ugly of the music | :06:00. | :06:05. | |
world with 32,000 songs competing for the top spot, but only a lucky | :06:05. | :06:11. | |
13 get the all-important million song sold. I've come to a primary | :06:11. | :06:16. | |
school to see what some of these make of the best-selling singles. | :06:16. | :06:22. | |
One, two, three o'clock four o'clock rock... | :06:22. | :06:32. | |
:06:32. | :06:32. | ||
Old. I recognise it because my dad owns it. I don't like it. | :06:32. | :06:40. | |
Older kind of people would listen to it, not people nowadays. These | :06:40. | :06:45. | |
guys weren't too impressed but who knows what the guys will think | :06:45. | :06:49. | |
about our number one hits. Hard to please those kids. | :06:49. | :06:53. | |
I loved all of those tracks! Keep 'em coming. If you are heading out | :06:53. | :06:57. | |
tonight to watch the fireworks, wrap up warm. Forecasters say it's | :06:58. | :07:01. | |
one of the coldest nights on Bonfire Night for years. | :07:01. | :07:07. | |
Leah is braving the weather in Yorkshire. How's it all going? | :07:07. | :07:11. | |
Joe and everyone else, welcome to Wentworth Castle in south York. If | :07:12. | :07:18. | |
you are heading here tonight, you are in for a big treat -- South | :07:18. | :07:23. | |
Yorkshire. We have a huge bonfire. It tack two days to make this. In | :07:23. | :07:27. | |
the distance is a Guy Fawkes sitting pretty at the top. Guy | :07:27. | :07:32. | |
Fawkes was actually born in York. Festivities kick off at 6.30, but a | :07:32. | :07:36. | |
warning, it's going to be cold. Temperatures maximum between six | :07:36. | :07:41. | |
and nine, that's a few degrees lower than what we are used to. | :07:41. | :07:46. | |
Some are saying that actually it will be one of the coldest Bonfire | :07:46. | :07:50. | |
Nights on record. A lot of events were called off | :07:50. | :07:54. | |
over the weekend because of the rain. Tonight, the skies are clear | :07:54. | :07:58. | |
so it should mean good visibility for when we have a glittering | :07:58. | :08:02. | |
display in the sky above us. I was heading to a display in Newham in | :08:02. | :08:07. | |
East London which was called off, so tonight we should be in for a | :08:07. | :08:11. | |
good time, wrap up warm, enjoy and I'm going to head out and enjoy the | :08:11. | :08:18. | |
fun. Keep warm. Thank you very much. | :08:18. | :08:27. | |
Strictly Come Dancing has launched or got a rival... Trounched even. | :08:27. | :08:33. | |
Can't even say it. Trounched X Factor in a Saturday night Battle | :08:33. | :08:43. | |
:08:43. | :08:47. | ||
of 10 million viewers. BBC One had two million more viewers than ITV | :08:47. | :08:51. | |
on Saturday. Take a look at this. Before kick off, these Liverpool | :08:51. | :08:55. |
