Hi, guys. Hayley and Joe here at the start of another great week of | :00:21. | :00:26. | |
Newsround action. Coming up in a Christmas cracker of a show: | :00:26. | :00:30. | |
will find out what's next for this panda pair as they settle down to | :00:30. | :00:33. | |
life in Scotland. And we will hear from the classroom divided by the | :00:33. | :00:38. | |
FA Cup draw. First, to major talks about the state of our planet and | :00:38. | :00:43. | |
the future of the polar ice caps. World leaders are meeting this week | :00:43. | :00:46. | |
in South Africa to discuss what can be done about harmful emissions | :00:46. | :00:49. | |
that heat up the earth. They are produced by big countries and some | :00:49. | :00:52. | |
experts say they could cause stunning scenery like this to melt | :00:52. | :00:56. | |
and lead to bigger problems for the rest of us. Getting all countries | :00:56. | :01:00. | |
to agree on what to do is proving difficult. But one man they might | :01:00. | :01:03. | |
listen to is Frozen Planet presenter Sir David Attenborough. | :01:03. | :01:07. | |
He has been telling us why it is so important to get things sorted, and | :01:07. | :01:15. | |
fast. This change is happening within our life time. You can adapt | :01:15. | :01:19. | |
to slow change, quick change is much more difficult. The North and | :01:19. | :01:22. | |
South Poles form some of the most stunning scenery on our planet and | :01:22. | :01:26. | |
are home to some wonderful wildlife too. But all that could be under | :01:26. | :01:29. | |
threat because global temperatures, caused by the emission of harmful | :01:29. | :01:39. | |
:01:39. | :01:45. | ||
Like the polar bear, up in the north, their lives are dependent on | :01:45. | :01:48. | |
the sea ice. Here, a massive iceberg breaks away from Greenland. | :01:48. | :01:51. | |
This happens naturally but people are worried the melting could | :01:51. | :01:53. | |
accelerate as production and factory work in places like China | :01:53. | :01:56. | |
and America cause gases to be released, that mean the Arctic and | :01:56. | :02:00. | |
Antarctic continue to warm up. And it is happening more quickly than | :02:00. | :02:05. | |
you might think. It is not just bad news for animals in that part of | :02:05. | :02:10. | |
the world. If the ice caps continue to melt some experts say that sea | :02:10. | :02:13. | |
levels could rise, and that could cause problems for the rest of the | :02:13. | :02:22. | |
world. We know these changes are happening. If they go on, they will | :02:22. | :02:27. | |
have catastrophic effects. Last week the British government | :02:27. | :02:30. | |
announce some of its plans to tackle climate change. They want to | :02:30. | :02:36. | |
increase the number of wind farms, bring in electric cars and protect | :02:36. | :02:41. | |
the forests. It needs a whole world to do the same. That is why | :02:41. | :02:45. | |
persuading China and America to cut emissions this week could have a | :02:45. | :02:52. | |
lasting impact for years to come. Now to a celebrity couple that have | :02:52. | :03:02. | |
:03:02. | :03:03. | ||
been causing pandemonium. Sunshine and his mate, Sweetie, are the two | :03:03. | :03:06. | |
Giant Pandas, who arrived at Edinburgh Zoo from China yesterday. | :03:06. | :03:10. | |
They are the first to come to the UK for 17 years. But what does the | :03:10. | :03:13. | |
future hold for them in their new home? Ore's been finding out. | :03:13. | :03:16. | |
any celebrity worth talking about, pandas Tian Tian and Yang Guang | :03:16. | :03:19. | |
were greeted by excited crowds as they arrived yesterday, fresh from | :03:19. | :03:24. | |
their nine-hour panda express flight. The atmosphere was great | :03:24. | :03:29. | |
for us but it was awesome. I was thinking we could see them, but no, | :03:29. | :03:36. | |
they were just in the truck. After five years of negotiations, the | :03:36. | :03:44. | |
pandas stroll through the doors of their new �250,000 home. Sweetie | :03:44. | :03:48. | |
and Sunshine have two weeks to settle into their new enclosure | :03:48. | :03:53. | |
before going on display. With only 2000 pandas left in the world, the | :03:53. | :03:59. | |
zoo is hoping the pair will breed and help to boost the panda | :03:59. | :04:06. | |
population. Sunshine is father to over 100 pandas and Sweetie is | :04:06. | :04:14. | |
known as pander mum because she has had so many cups. They are a great | :04:14. | :04:21. | |
age for breeding. The fact is, few pandas are born in captivity. | :04:21. | :04:26. | |
According to the World Wildlife Fund for Nature, they are shy about | :04:26. | :04:30. | |
mating. They do not like to have their partners chosen for them. | :04:30. | :04:37. | |
There is quite a lot of pressure on the pair to make some panda babies. | :04:37. | :04:47. | |
:04:47. | :04:54. | ||
David Beckham has been putting some smiles on faces during a tour of | :04:54. | :04:57. | |
Australia, with his team, LA Galaxy. He surprised everyone by dropping | :04:57. | :05:00. | |
in to surprise these kids at a Melbourne hospital. Suffice to say | :05:00. | :05:06. | |
they were pretty happy. David Beckham came in and said he liked | :05:06. | :05:10. | |
my pyjamas. Sticking with footy, and as rivalries go, it does not | :05:10. | :05:12. | |
get much bigger than Man City-Man United at the moment. Yesterday, | :05:12. | :05:15. | |
the Premier League's top two were drawn against each other in the | :05:15. | :05:19. | |
third round of the FA Cup. United will be looking for revenge after | :05:19. | :05:21. | |
October's 6-1 drubbing by their local rivals. And, even though the | :05:21. | :05:25. | |
game is a month away, I have been finding out just how excited the | :05:25. | :05:31. | |
fans are already. Manchester boasts two big clubs with one bit rivalry. | :05:31. | :05:37. | |
At Old Trafford, it is the reds - Manchester United. On the other | :05:37. | :05:41. | |
side of town, it is noisy neighbours, Manchester City. They | :05:41. | :05:47. | |
have both been drawn to play each other in the third round of the FA | :05:47. | :05:57. | |
Cup. What is it about city that will make you win? How they play. | :05:57. | :06:03. | |
What else? How they dribble, shoot and past. What is it about | :06:03. | :06:07. | |
Manchester United which means they will win? They had better | :06:07. | :06:11. | |
possession and better players. to head Manchester City had beaten | :06:11. | :06:17. | |
the Red Devils 44 times the stock United have beaten the boys in blue | :06:17. | :06:26. | |
67 times. City have won two league titles and United have won 19. In | :06:26. | :06:33. | |
the FA Cup, City have won five times and United have a won 11 | :06:33. | :06:42. | |
times. That was the past. This is the future. They lost 6-1, the next | :06:42. | :06:52. | |
:06:52. | :06:53. | ||
match they will win 7-0. Staying with football. No City or United | :06:53. | :07:01. | |
players have made it onto the European footballer of the Year | :07:01. | :07:07. | |
award. Wayne Rooney is up for the goal of the Year award. So, come on, | :07:07. | :07:16. | |
Wayne! Finally, this probably has to go down as the most expensive | :07:16. | :07:24. |
