Hi, I'm Ayshah and this is Tueday

morning's Newsround.

All this on the way...

The people clubbing together

to buy this castle...

A record breaking rainbow...

And the pizza party in space.

First up, loads of plastic like this

goes into our oceans every year,

causing lots of problems

for wildlife.

Environment ministers from around

the world are considering

a total ban on plastic waste in the

ocean.

They talk about it at a UN

meeting in Kenya this week.

More than 8 million tonnes of

plastic is dumped in the ocean every

year, and the UN says it's a

'planetary emergency'.

The tremendous amount of May plastic

we use in our economy ends up in the

ocean.

The ocean has been seen

as a trash dump, where we dump

everything we don't need.

And that plastic never

goes away, mostly.

It floats to the surface,

it falls down to the bottom

and we urgently need to do

something about it.

A year ago, eleven-year-old Raghba

had never even played Squash.

But now she's dreaming of playing

for her country - Syria.

She trains almost everyday,

focusing on her game and working

to be quicker on her feet.

But five years ago, life was very

different for Raghba and her family.

When they were forced

to leave their home town of Homs

because of the war in Syria.

They moved across the border

to Jordan, where they first

lived in a refugee camp.

It was when the family moved

to the outskirts of the city that

Raghba and her sisters got

the chance to try squash.

She now plays in a team of four

girls and it's not just

all about the sport either.

We have training five times a week,

learning to play both squash

and English, to help them become

competitive squash players,

so they can compete in tournaments,

both here in Jordan

and around the world.

And we also want them

to achieve academic status,

so they can enrol in schools.

Squash isn't an overly

popular sport in Syria,

although lots of people play it

in other countries

in the Middle East.

But now Raghba and her team-mates

are hoping to one day go back

to Syria and share their love

of the sport.

TRANSLATION:

It's been six months

since I played squash

and I want to play around the world

and go back to Syria

and become a coach.

I want to take part in Arab

and foreign tournaments.

TRANSLATION:

I like sport

and especially squash

because when I grow up

I want to travel and compete

in tournaments around the world

and make Syria and my family proud.

Best of luck, girls!

I hope you smash it.

Now to cricket, and the Ashes.

It wasn't good news for England

yesterday but today they're

fighting back, on day four

of the second test.

The teams play five tests over

the course of the competition.

Australia won the first test,

and England need to do really well

over the next day and a half to win

the second.

Now to a lovely tale of a police

officer who rescued a dog

after Hurricane Irma.

He's now brought him back to the UK

from the British Virgin Islands.

Meet Buddy, the lucky labrador

cross, who is now living in the UK.

Sit.

Good boy.

Buddy is a stray.

He won the heart of a police

officer called John Harvey.

John was sent from Suffolk Police

to the British Virgin Islands

to help people after the devastation

of Hurricane Irma.

He put his paws around my thigh

and just wouldn't let me go, really.

I was trying to leave

and he was walking with me

on his back legs and I just thought,

you know, I'd like to

bring him home if I can.

And give him a chance

of a better life, really.

Buddy spent 21 days in Washington,

DC in the US, where vets checked

that he was healthy and fit,

before he was allowed

to travel on to the UK.

It was fantastic, really good to see

him, he was excited, I was excited.

And it was kind of the start

of the next chapter.

The pair are now ready

for new adventures together.

But it can all get

a bit exhausting...

Don't blame you, Buddy!

Imagine owning somewhere

as fancy as this!

But without having to spend loads

and loads of money to buy it!

Thousands of people across the world

joined together to buy this

thirteenth century French castle.

It cost 500,000 euros to buy,

but some people only paid around

£45 for a share.

They're now planning to fix it up

and restore it to it's former glory.

Now to the reason why this

rainbow is record breaking.

It's because it lasted nearly nine

hours, usually they only stay

for less than half an hour.

It was seen over the skies

of Taiwan in East Asia.

Professors at a university watched

it and said it was there

from 6:57am to 3:55pm.

We've put humans on the moon,

sent a rover to Mars and now we've

sent pizza to space.

Astronauts on the International

Space Station had their

very own pizza party.

The toppings - pepperoni, tomato

sauce, cheese and olives,

were all sent up on a special supply

ship.

Commander Randy Bresnik said

the pizzas were

"flying saucers of the edible kind".

Well, that's just one

of the best quotes ever!

That's all from the morning team -

go online for the rest of the day's

stories including skiing santas and

pictures of the supermoon.

Hayley will be back

with more at 4:20pm - bye!
