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
