Hi, I'm Ayshah and this is Tueday
morning's Newsround. | 0:00:03 | 0:00:06 | |
All this on the way... | 0:00:06 | 0:00:08 | |
The people clubbing together
to buy this castle... | 0:00:08 | 0:00:12 | |
A record breaking rainbow... | 0:00:12 | 0:00:13 | |
And the pizza party in space. | 0:00:13 | 0:00:19 | |
First up, loads of plastic like this
goes into our oceans every year, | 0:00:27 | 0:00:30 | |
causing lots of problems
for wildlife. | 0:00:30 | 0:00:34 | |
Environment ministers from around
the world are considering | 0:00:34 | 0:00:35 | |
a total ban on plastic waste in the
ocean. | 0:00:35 | 0:00:39 | |
They talk about it at a UN
meeting in Kenya this week. | 0:00:39 | 0:00:42 | |
More than 8 million tonnes of
plastic is dumped in the ocean every | 0:00:42 | 0:00:45 | |
year, and the UN says it's a
'planetary emergency'. | 0:00:45 | 0:00:51 | |
The tremendous amount of May plastic
we use in our economy ends up in the | 0:01:00 | 0:01:04 | |
ocean. | 0:01:04 | 0:01:06 | |
The ocean has been seen
as a trash dump, where we dump | 0:01:06 | 0:01:08 | |
everything we don't need. | 0:01:08 | 0:01:10 | |
And that plastic never
goes away, mostly. | 0:01:10 | 0:01:11 | |
It floats to the surface,
it falls down to the bottom | 0:01:11 | 0:01:14 | |
and we urgently need to do
something about it. | 0:01:14 | 0:01:16 | |
A year ago, eleven-year-old Raghba
had never even played Squash. | 0:01:16 | 0:01:19 | |
But now she's dreaming of playing
for her country - Syria. | 0:01:19 | 0:01:21 | |
She trains almost everyday,
focusing on her game and working | 0:01:21 | 0:01:24 | |
to be quicker on her feet. | 0:01:24 | 0:01:27 | |
But five years ago, life was very
different for Raghba and her family. | 0:01:27 | 0:01:30 | |
When they were forced
to leave their home town of Homs | 0:01:30 | 0:01:32 | |
because of the war in Syria. | 0:01:32 | 0:01:37 | |
They moved across the border
to Jordan, where they first | 0:01:38 | 0:01:40 | |
lived in a refugee camp. | 0:01:40 | 0:01:43 | |
It was when the family moved
to the outskirts of the city that | 0:01:43 | 0:01:46 | |
Raghba and her sisters got
the chance to try squash. | 0:01:46 | 0:01:52 | |
She now plays in a team of four
girls and it's not just | 0:01:52 | 0:01:55 | |
all about the sport either. | 0:01:55 | 0:02:01 | |
We have training five times a week,
learning to play both squash | 0:02:01 | 0:02:03 | |
and English, to help them become
competitive squash players, | 0:02:03 | 0:02:06 | |
so they can compete in tournaments,
both here in Jordan | 0:02:06 | 0:02:08 | |
and around the world. | 0:02:08 | 0:02:09 | |
And we also want them
to achieve academic status, | 0:02:09 | 0:02:11 | |
so they can enrol in schools. | 0:02:11 | 0:02:13 | |
Squash isn't an overly
popular sport in Syria, | 0:02:13 | 0:02:15 | |
although lots of people play it
in other countries | 0:02:15 | 0:02:17 | |
in the Middle East. | 0:02:17 | 0:02:20 | |
But now Raghba and her team-mates
are hoping to one day go back | 0:02:20 | 0:02:23 | |
to Syria and share their love
of the sport. | 0:02:23 | 0:02:28 | |
TRANSLATION: It's been six months
since I played squash | 0:02:29 | 0:02:31 | |
and I want to play around the world
and go back to Syria | 0:02:31 | 0:02:34 | |
and become a coach. | 0:02:34 | 0:02:35 | |
I want to take part in Arab
and foreign tournaments. | 0:02:35 | 0:02:42 | |
TRANSLATION: I like sport
and especially squash | 0:02:44 | 0:02:45 | |
because when I grow up
I want to travel and compete | 0:02:45 | 0:02:48 | |
in tournaments around the world
and make Syria and my family proud. | 0:02:48 | 0:02:55 | |
Best of luck, girls!
I hope you smash it. | 0:02:55 | 0:03:01 | |
Now to cricket, and the Ashes. | 0:03:01 | 0:03:02 | |
It wasn't good news for England
yesterday but today they're | 0:03:02 | 0:03:05 | |
fighting back, on day four
of the second test. | 0:03:05 | 0:03:07 | |
The teams play five tests over
the course of the competition. | 0:03:07 | 0:03:10 | |
Australia won the first test,
and England need to do really well | 0:03:10 | 0:03:13 | |
over the next day and a half to win
the second. | 0:03:13 | 0:03:17 | |
Now to a lovely tale of a police
officer who rescued a dog | 0:03:18 | 0:03:21 | |
after Hurricane Irma. | 0:03:21 | 0:03:22 | |
He's now brought him back to the UK
from the British Virgin Islands. | 0:03:22 | 0:03:28 | |
Meet Buddy, the lucky labrador
cross, who is now living in the UK. | 0:03:28 | 0:03:31 | |
Sit. | 0:03:31 | 0:03:32 | |
Good boy. | 0:03:32 | 0:03:34 | |
Buddy is a stray. | 0:03:34 | 0:03:38 | |
He won the heart of a police
officer called John Harvey. | 0:03:38 | 0:03:40 | |
John was sent from Suffolk Police
to the British Virgin Islands | 0:03:40 | 0:03:43 | |
to help people after the devastation
of Hurricane Irma. | 0:03:43 | 0:03:48 | |
He put his paws around my thigh
and just wouldn't let me go, really. | 0:03:48 | 0:03:51 | |
I was trying to leave
and he was walking with me | 0:03:51 | 0:03:54 | |
on his back legs and I just thought,
you know, I'd like to | 0:03:54 | 0:03:57 | |
bring him home if I can. | 0:03:57 | 0:03:58 | |
And give him a chance
of a better life, really. | 0:03:58 | 0:04:01 | |
Buddy spent 21 days in Washington,
DC in the US, where vets checked | 0:04:01 | 0:04:04 | |
that he was healthy and fit,
before he was allowed | 0:04:04 | 0:04:06 | |
to travel on to the UK. | 0:04:06 | 0:04:10 | |
It was fantastic, really good to see
him, he was excited, I was excited. | 0:04:10 | 0:04:14 | |
And it was kind of the start
of the next chapter. | 0:04:14 | 0:04:23 | |
The pair are now ready
for new adventures together. | 0:04:23 | 0:04:25 | |
But it can all get
a bit exhausting... | 0:04:25 | 0:04:35 | |
Don't blame you, Buddy! | 0:04:37 | 0:04:38 | |
Imagine owning somewhere
as fancy as this! | 0:04:38 | 0:04:40 | |
But without having to spend loads
and loads of money to buy it! | 0:04:40 | 0:04:43 | |
Thousands of people across the world
joined together to buy this | 0:04:43 | 0:04:46 | |
thirteenth century French castle. | 0:04:46 | 0:04:47 | |
It cost 500,000 euros to buy,
but some people only paid around | 0:04:47 | 0:04:50 | |
£45 for a share. | 0:04:50 | 0:04:51 | |
They're now planning to fix it up
and restore it to it's former glory. | 0:04:51 | 0:04:54 | |
Now to the reason why this
rainbow is record breaking. | 0:04:54 | 0:04:57 | |
It's because it lasted nearly nine
hours, usually they only stay | 0:04:57 | 0:04:59 | |
for less than half an hour. | 0:04:59 | 0:05:01 | |
It was seen over the skies
of Taiwan in East Asia. | 0:05:01 | 0:05:03 | |
Professors at a university watched
it and said it was there | 0:05:03 | 0:05:06 | |
from 6:57am to 3:55pm. | 0:05:06 | 0:05:13 | |
We've put humans on the moon,
sent a rover to Mars and now we've | 0:05:15 | 0:05:18 | |
sent pizza to space. | 0:05:18 | 0:05:19 | |
Astronauts on the International
Space Station had their | 0:05:19 | 0:05:21 | |
very own pizza party. | 0:05:21 | 0:05:25 | |
The toppings - pepperoni, tomato
sauce, cheese and olives, | 0:05:25 | 0:05:27 | |
were all sent up on a special supply
ship. | 0:05:27 | 0:05:29 | |
Commander Randy Bresnik said
the pizzas were | 0:05:29 | 0:05:31 | |
"flying saucers of the edible kind". | 0:05:31 | 0:05:35 | |
Well, that's just one
of the best quotes ever! | 0:05:35 | 0:05:40 | |
That's all from the morning team -
go online for the rest of the day's | 0:05:40 | 0:05:43 | |
stories including skiing santas and
pictures of the supermoon. | 0:05:43 | 0:05:46 | |
Hayley will be back
with more at 4:20pm - bye! | 0:05:46 | 0:05:56 |
