Good afternoon, I'm Jenny, with all the news that's worth knowing this | :00:00. | :00:09. | |
Thursday. Coming up: The Winter Olympics have well and truly landed. | :00:10. | :00:13. | |
And, find out why this guy is ape-ing around in a gorilla suit! | :00:14. | :00:16. | |
This is Newsround! First, to what could mean more money | :00:17. | :00:26. | |
for PE lessons at your school. Last year, the Prime Minister promised | :00:27. | :00:29. | |
that all primary schools in England would get around ?9,000 each to | :00:30. | :00:32. | |
spend on sport every year until 2016. But today, David Cameron said | :00:33. | :00:36. | |
that schools will now keep on getting that money every year until | :00:37. | :00:41. | |
2020. One of the biggest teaching unions, the NUT, is welcoming the | :00:42. | :00:44. | |
extra money, but says given that many primary schools don't have | :00:45. | :00:47. | |
dedicated PE teachers this doesn't add up to a great deal. | :00:48. | :00:53. | |
Love it or hate it, there's no running away from PE at school - and | :00:54. | :00:57. | |
it could be getting a boost. The idea is that by pumping more money | :00:58. | :01:01. | |
into your school sports, the more active you'll become, and the legacy | :01:02. | :01:04. | |
of 2012's Olympic and Paralympic Games can continue. Some of the | :01:05. | :01:09. | |
extra money was announced last year but today, the Prime Minister said | :01:10. | :01:12. | |
that if his party wins the next election, he'll keep the cash coming | :01:13. | :01:18. | |
until 2020. Meaning primary schools in England will share an extra ?150 | :01:19. | :01:22. | |
million per year - around ?9,000 each to spend on sport. Primary | :01:23. | :01:26. | |
schools can spend the money however they want - on new equipment, more | :01:27. | :01:31. | |
after-school clubs. This school in Manchester has spent some of the | :01:32. | :01:39. | |
money on this coach. We're not just buying equipment with this. We're | :01:40. | :01:42. | |
going to train teachers up using people to come in and make them | :01:43. | :01:48. | |
better equipped to deliver better lessons for the children. So how do | :01:49. | :01:51. | |
these guys want the money to be spent? On football nets. My | :01:52. | :01:57. | |
favourite sport is Neville, and I would really like netball court, | :01:58. | :02:01. | |
because most of the courts are for football. I wanted to be spent at | :02:02. | :02:05. | |
some cricket stuff, because the plastic hats are not very good, and | :02:06. | :02:08. | |
the balls. The opposition Labour Party says it's a good idea but say | :02:09. | :02:12. | |
the government shouldn't have removed the requirement for primary | :02:13. | :02:15. | |
school children to do two hours of sport a week, which the last Labour | :02:16. | :02:18. | |
government introduced. And the NUT union has welcomed the extra money, | :02:19. | :02:21. | |
but says given that many primary schools don't have dedicated PE | :02:22. | :02:25. | |
teachers, this doesn't add up to a great deal. | :02:26. | :02:29. | |
The 22nd Winter Games doesn't officially get underway until | :02:30. | :02:33. | |
tomorrow's opening ceremony, but as you can see, a few events have | :02:34. | :02:36. | |
already started. British athletes have competed in the snowboard | :02:37. | :02:39. | |
slopestyle and later tonight, the ladies' moguls skiing event takes | :02:40. | :02:42. | |
place along with the group figure skating. BBC Sport's Andy Swiss sent | :02:43. | :02:52. | |
us this report from Russia. Welcome to the Olympic Park in | :02:53. | :02:56. | |
Sochi. We are down here in the south of Russia. The opening ceremony is | :02:57. | :02:59. | |
not until tomorrow night in the stadium behind me, but we have | :03:00. | :03:03. | |
already had the first sporting action in the freestyle | :03:04. | :03:06. | |
snowboarding. Breathtaking stuff, and what a performance by Jamie | :03:07. | :03:10. | |
Nicholls from Britain, who is safely through to the final on Saturday. | :03:11. | :03:14. | |
All snow events up in the mountains about 30 miles away. Down here in | :03:15. | :03:18. | |
the park, we have indoor events will stop there have been some concerns | :03:19. | :03:21. | |
the venues would not be ready in time, but they are, and the official | :03:22. | :03:24. | |
opening is tomorrow night. Thank you. A weather update for you, | :03:25. | :03:28. | |
and a number of severe warnings remain in force across the South and | :03:29. | :03:32. | |
West of England this afternoon. The Met Office warn there will be heavy | :03:33. | :03:36. | |
showers, with more than an inch and a half of rain in some parts. | :03:37. | :03:40. | |
Hundreds of people in the south west of England are still without power | :03:41. | :03:43. | |
after heavy storms this week. Now to a scientific development that | :03:44. | :03:46. | |
sounds like it's straight out of a sci-fi movie. This man has become | :03:47. | :03:50. | |
the first person to use a bionic hand that can actually feel things. | :03:51. | :03:53. | |
The electronic device has been fitted to a man from Denmark, who | :03:54. | :03:56. | |
lost his hand in an accident. It's the first replacement hand in the | :03:57. | :04:00. | |
world that can tell how hard or big objects are by touch. | :04:01. | :04:06. | |
Now, have you ever wondered what the best way to get an escaped gorilla | :04:07. | :04:10. | |
back in its cage would be? Well, here's your answer. | :04:11. | :04:18. | |
Staff at a zoo in Tokyo used a man dressed as a gorilla to stage this | :04:19. | :04:21. | |
emergency drill. Members of the local police and Fire Service got | :04:22. | :04:25. | |
involved to help round up the gorilla, before using nets to get it | :04:26. | :04:29. | |
back in its cage - it's as simple as that! | :04:30. | :04:33. | |
And if that's not enough animal antics for you, we have much more, | :04:34. | :04:36. | |
including news of these Kenyan elephants, over on the Newsround | :04:37. | :04:40. | |
website. You can also find out all about this huge new species of | :04:41. | :04:43. | |
jellyfish, measuring over a metre long, that's washed up on a beach in | :04:44. | :04:48. | |
Australia. There's also loads more about the | :04:49. | :04:51. | |
Winter Olympics on the website as well, including the five Winter | :04:52. | :04:54. | |
Olympic sports you can't afford to miss. That's all from me. Have a | :04:55. | :04:58. | |
lovely afternoon. I'm back at 6:50. See you soon. Bye! | :04:59. | :05:01. |
