Hi, I'm Jenny with your last Newsround update this Sunday | :00:00. | :00:00. | |
afternoon. Coming right up: The theatre show to | :00:00. | :00:09. | |
get kids super-keen on science, and... | :00:10. | :00:13. | |
Feathers fly as people all over the world join in world Pillow Fight | :00:14. | :00:16. | |
day! This is Newsround. | :00:17. | :00:22. | |
First, how much food gets wasted in your home? A new report out today | :00:23. | :00:29. | |
from a House of Lords committee says far too much food's being thrown | :00:30. | :00:32. | |
away across Europe each year. It says 90 million tonnes of food is | :00:33. | :00:35. | |
wasted annually throughout Europe and 15 million tonnes here in the | :00:36. | :00:39. | |
UK. The report calls for more action to stop the waste and says buy-one, | :00:40. | :00:42. | |
get-one free offers in supermarkets encourage shoppers to buy more food | :00:43. | :00:45. | |
than we need. But not everyone agrees that these offers are the | :00:46. | :00:51. | |
biggest part of the problem. Buy-one, get-one free - there isn't | :00:52. | :00:54. | |
a lot of evidence that it contributes significantly to food | :00:55. | :00:57. | |
waste. Clearly, if the retailers have evidence that it does, and | :00:58. | :01:00. | |
Tesco's did last year on baggage salads, they can stop those | :01:01. | :01:09. | |
promotions. The main reasons why we are wasting food - there are two | :01:10. | :01:12. | |
main categories: either we are cooking too much and not using the | :01:13. | :01:16. | |
leftovers, or we are letting it go off before we use it. That comes | :01:17. | :01:20. | |
down to us, and the way we plan and shop. | :01:21. | :01:26. | |
Next, an explosive new theatre performance is aiming to get more | :01:27. | :01:27. | |
kids interested in science. There's been chaos in Sheffield | :01:28. | :01:46. | |
today after the city's half marathon was called off because of a lack of | :01:47. | :01:49. | |
water for runners. Race organisers say they had been let down by a | :01:50. | :01:53. | |
water supplier, and decided it wasn't safe enough to go ahead. | :01:54. | :01:56. | |
5,000 runners were due to take part. Despite the cancellation, some of | :01:57. | :01:59. | |
them still ran the course anyway. We heard it was cancelled, and | :02:00. | :02:02. | |
before we knew it is everyone just started running and made the race | :02:03. | :02:03. | |
for ourselves. Sheffield people did fantastic. | :02:04. | :02:05. | |
Everywhere we went, people were giving out water. | :02:06. | :02:14. | |
Next, an explosive new theatre performance is aiming to get more | :02:15. | :02:17. | |
kids interested in science. Banging balloons, fireballs, and freezing | :02:18. | :02:20. | |
flowers are all part of The Energy Show at the Science Museum in | :02:21. | :02:23. | |
London. Here's a sneak preview: Do not try this at home! | :02:24. | :02:25. | |
This demonstration shows the chemical reaction when you ignite a | :02:26. | :02:28. | |
hydrogen balloon - and the explosive result! It's one of the live | :02:29. | :02:32. | |
experiments that's part of The Energy Show at the Science Museum in | :02:33. | :02:36. | |
London. The idea is to have a lot of fun - and to learn a bit of science | :02:37. | :02:41. | |
at the same time. Most hopefully won't have seen | :02:42. | :02:44. | |
musical lightning before. I'd never seen it before yesterday! It is | :02:45. | :02:47. | |
incredible, and it is generally lightning in a cage. I want them to | :02:48. | :02:51. | |
go and find out about how it all worked. | :02:52. | :02:56. | |
And there's a virtual Einstein to guide the audience through the | :02:57. | :03:00. | |
tricky bits! The play is about two science students trying to prove | :03:01. | :03:05. | |
their knowledge of energy. I learned that you can make | :03:06. | :03:09. | |
lightning in your kitchen. I never knew that you'd be able to do that. | :03:10. | :03:13. | |
I thought that only the sky could do it. | :03:14. | :03:16. | |
I liked it when they tried to blow up the liquid nitrogen. | :03:17. | :03:20. | |
The show is soon going on tour across England and Wales. And the | :03:21. | :03:24. | |
hope is that it'll help show that science can be sparky! | :03:25. | :03:31. | |
Next - can Britain make it into the Semi Finals of the Davis Cup, for | :03:32. | :03:35. | |
the first time in 33 years? Well that's out of Andy Murray's hands | :03:36. | :03:39. | |
now. He needed to win his singles match against world number thirteen | :03:40. | :03:42. | |
Fabio Fogini to send Britain through, but Andy struggled with a | :03:43. | :03:45. | |
very noisy Italian crowd and his opponent played brilliantly. So | :03:46. | :03:48. | |
Britain's fate now lies with James Ward, who's up against Andreas Seppi | :03:49. | :03:50. | |
in the final match. England's women cricketers have lost | :03:51. | :03:54. | |
to Australia in the final of the World Twenty20 tournament in | :03:55. | :03:56. | |
Bangladesh. Charlotte Edwards' team set Australia a target of 106 to win | :03:57. | :03:59. | |
and couldn't prevent the Aussies from reaching that target with ease, | :04:00. | :04:03. | |
with plenty of time and wickets to spare. The result is a repeat of | :04:04. | :04:13. | |
2012's final. Next - get ready for our regular | :04:14. | :04:16. | |
round-up of the weirdest news stories of the week. Take it away | :04:17. | :04:18. | |
Nel! First up: robot police. A team of | :04:19. | :04:24. | |
engineers in America have developed the Nightscope K5. It's about 1.5 | :04:25. | :04:32. | |
metres tall, and has special built in cameras to detect when things go | :04:33. | :04:38. | |
wrong. When you get on a plane, there is | :04:39. | :04:42. | |
usually a bit of time before take-off. What you do to pass the | :04:43. | :04:50. | |
time? If you were to cast off The Lion King musical, you belt out a | :04:51. | :04:54. | |
rendition of the Circle of Life. The Australian cast did on a plane in | :04:55. | :04:58. | |
Brisbane as they were waiting for take-off. Now that's what I call | :04:59. | :05:03. | |
in-flight entertainment! Have you ever imagined what it would | :05:04. | :05:10. | |
be like to have special powers? Well, one young boy's dreams came | :05:11. | :05:14. | |
true when his dad used some pretty nifty special effects to turn him | :05:15. | :05:17. | |
into a superhero. It's all down to his dad Daniel's skills with a | :05:18. | :05:21. | |
computer - but then James's dad does work for world-famous animation | :05:22. | :05:23. | |
company DreamWorks, which made films like Shrek and Kung Fu Panda. I | :05:24. | :05:36. | |
wonder if he'd turned me into Wonder Woman? | :05:37. | :05:42. | |
Last up - feathers have been flying all over the planet to celebrate | :05:43. | :05:46. | |
World Pillow Fight Day! Hundreds of people took part in this pillow | :05:47. | :05:49. | |
fight in Hong Kong - with some teenagers using it as an excuse to | :05:50. | :05:53. | |
let off steam before exam time! The annual event has been going since | :05:54. | :05:59. | |
2008. That's all from me, Newsround's back | :06:00. | :06:02. | |
bright and early tomorrow morning. But if you can't wait until then, | :06:03. | :06:05. | |
there's loads of stuff on the | :06:06. | :06:06. |
