Good morning and happy world book day everyone - I'm Leah and here's | :00:00. | :00:09. | |
what's coming up. A late header wins it for England, | :00:10. | :00:13. | |
and Daniel Sturridge celebrates in wiggly-arm style! And the football | :00:14. | :00:17. | |
match where anything goes. This is Newsround. | :00:18. | :00:23. | |
Today is World Book Day, a huge celebration of authors, illustrators | :00:24. | :00:30. | |
and books. In over a hundred countries all over the world kids | :00:31. | :00:33. | |
will be celebrating reading. And thousands of you up and down the UK | :00:34. | :00:37. | |
will be going to school this morning dressed as characters from your | :00:38. | :00:40. | |
favourite stories. But before you head out the door make sure you take | :00:41. | :00:44. | |
a snap of you in your costume and send it in to the Newsround website. | :00:45. | :00:49. | |
And as you can see with my red shoes, I've obviously come as | :00:50. | :00:52. | |
Dorothy from the Wizard of Oz! And in a couple of moments we'll reveal | :00:53. | :00:56. | |
live on the programme the winner of the Blue Peter Book Award for Best | :00:57. | :01:00. | |
Story. For that annoucement let me welcome award-winning author and | :01:01. | :01:02. | |
competition judge Marcus Sedgwick to the Newsround sofa. Good morning, | :01:03. | :01:16. | |
Marcus. It is very early. Was it hard to judge the winner? Yes, it | :01:17. | :01:21. | |
always is. It seems like an impossible position, but I had two | :01:22. | :01:29. | |
great judges working with me. And you yourself have been a winner of | :01:30. | :01:33. | |
this. I have. It is a wonderful thing. It was a couple of years ago, | :01:34. | :01:37. | |
and it is a very exciting thing. Those others who grew up watching | :01:38. | :01:42. | |
Blue Peter, to win their book award is quite an exciting thing. Let's | :01:43. | :01:46. | |
talk about the winner. I think it is time to reveal that moment. Drum | :01:47. | :01:55. | |
roll, please. The winner is? The winner is Catherine Randall. This is | :01:56. | :02:04. | |
a beautiful book, magical. It felt a lot like a fairy tale. It is about a | :02:05. | :02:08. | |
young girl called Sophie who doesn't have a mother and she wants to know | :02:09. | :02:13. | |
who her mother is. She takes her guardian Charles on an adventure to | :02:14. | :02:19. | |
Paris and over the rooftops. And what will this award mean to | :02:20. | :02:24. | |
Katherine? It is only her second book, and to win such a big prize so | :02:25. | :02:28. | |
early in your writing career really should set her in good stead for the | :02:29. | :02:34. | |
future. Marcus, thank you. And Katherine will be right here on the | :02:35. | :02:38. | |
Newsround sofa at 0815. And you can then catch her collecting her award | :02:39. | :02:42. | |
on Blue Peter, at 5.30 on CBBC, and that's also where you'll find out | :02:43. | :02:44. | |
which book characters Barney, Lindsey and Radzi will dress up as. | :02:45. | :02:49. | |
Moving on. A boy from Preston has become the youngest person ever to | :02:50. | :02:52. | |
successfully carry out atomic fusion. 13-year-old Jamie built a | :02:53. | :02:54. | |
nuclear reactor at school before successfully smashing two hydrogen | :02:55. | :02:59. | |
atoms together to make helium. The results still need to be verified, | :03:00. | :03:03. | |
but Jamie was pretty excited by his experiment. I was altering the high | :03:04. | :03:11. | |
voltage and checking the pressure inside the chamber, and then I heard | :03:12. | :03:17. | |
that Geiger can to go up and Spike, so I wondered what was happening. | :03:18. | :03:22. | |
The neutron counter went crazy. It was brilliant. You can make | :03:23. | :03:29. | |
something that you might see in a star at night in a little chamber. | :03:30. | :03:32. | |
That is just magic. Jamie is amazing. | :03:33. | :03:36. | |
Sport now. All the home nations were in action last night for friendlies | :03:37. | :03:39. | |
ahead of the summer's footy World Cup in Brazil, and the Euro 2016 | :03:40. | :03:42. | |
qualifying campaigns. Roy Hodgson's England side left it late. Daniel | :03:43. | :03:45. | |
Sturridge scored the only goal of a slow-moving game against Denmark | :03:46. | :03:48. | |
with a cracking header. The Liverpool striker then treated fans | :03:49. | :03:52. | |
to his brand-new wiggly-arm dance. Nice moves, Daniel. | :03:53. | :03:55. | |
And Gareth Bale starred in an impressive 3-1 win for Wales over | :03:56. | :03:59. | |
Iceland in Cardiff. Having set up the first goal, the Real Madrid ace | :04:00. | :04:02. | |
then picked up the third himself, for Chris Coleman's side. Elsewhere | :04:03. | :04:05. | |
Scotland beat Poland 1-0, but Northern Ireland went goalless | :04:06. | :04:07. | |
against Cyprus. But now to a football match like no | :04:08. | :04:11. | |
other. Hundreds of people took part in the yearly Shrovetide match in | :04:12. | :04:16. | |
Ashborne yesterday. Pretty much anything goes in the fast-paced | :04:17. | :04:20. | |
match, you can even shove and grab other players, in fact one of the | :04:21. | :04:24. | |
only rules is that you can't carry the ball in a car! The aim is to get | :04:25. | :04:28. | |
the ball to the goal posts, which are in the middle of a river. Not | :04:29. | :04:32. | |
one for the easily bruised that one. And in warmer locations, England's | :04:33. | :04:35. | |
cricketers are celebrating a 2-1 series win over the West Indies. | :04:36. | :04:41. | |
After picking up a nasty bruise when he was hit on the thumb early on, | :04:42. | :04:45. | |
Joe Root fought through the pain to score his first one-day | :04:46. | :04:47. | |
international century, to give Stuart Broad's men a twenty-five run | :04:48. | :04:50. | |
victory in the final match in Antigua. | :04:51. | :04:52. | |
That's all from me, Newsround's back right here in about half an hour | :04:53. | :04:56. | |
where we'll be chatting to the Blue Peter book award winner, Katherine | :04:57. | :04:57. | |
Rundell. | :04:58. | :04:59. |
