Hi, everyone, welcome to Newsround this Thursday afternoon - I'm Leah. | 0:00:03 | 0:00:06 | |
Loads on the way, including... | 0:00:06 | 0:00:09 | |
Peggy - the awesome astronaut who keeps breaking records. | 0:00:09 | 0:00:12 | |
And Pepsi says sorry - we'll tell you why. | 0:00:12 | 0:00:20 | |
First, is it OK to go on holiday during term time? | 0:00:25 | 0:00:28 | |
Well, today the country's top court has decided no - | 0:00:28 | 0:00:31 | |
and that your parents must follow your school's | 0:00:31 | 0:00:33 | |
rules on attendance. | 0:00:33 | 0:00:35 | |
It's after one girl's dad refused to pay a fine | 0:00:35 | 0:00:37 | |
for taking her on a term-time holiday that her school | 0:00:37 | 0:00:41 | |
hadn't agreed to. | 0:00:41 | 0:00:42 | |
The judges said they can affect kids' learning as well as teachers. | 0:00:42 | 0:00:46 | |
But the dad involved said parents should be able to decide what's | 0:00:46 | 0:00:49 | |
right for their children. | 0:00:49 | 0:00:51 | |
Some kids have been giving us their thoughts. | 0:00:51 | 0:00:54 | |
I don't think they should be allowed to go on holiday in school time | 0:00:54 | 0:00:58 | |
because there's a set time for holidays - | 0:00:58 | 0:01:02 | |
it's actually called a holiday. | 0:01:02 | 0:01:03 | |
The school should know what happens before they go, so I think | 0:01:03 | 0:01:07 | |
that parents should negotiate with the school a few | 0:01:07 | 0:01:12 | |
months before they go. | 0:01:12 | 0:01:13 | |
I think that they should be allowed, but if it's a couple of | 0:01:13 | 0:01:16 | |
days then it's fine but if it's more than a week then no. | 0:01:16 | 0:01:19 | |
I don't think they should be punished at all, no, | 0:01:19 | 0:01:22 | |
cos that's a bit mean. | 0:01:22 | 0:01:23 | |
If it's more than one or two weeks or one or two | 0:01:23 | 0:01:28 | |
weeks they should be punished, and if it's just a few days then | 0:01:28 | 0:01:31 | |
I still think that's fine. | 0:01:31 | 0:01:34 | |
The US President, Donald Trump, is among the world | 0:01:34 | 0:01:36 | |
leaders who have been reacting in shock, after chemical weapons | 0:01:36 | 0:01:40 | |
were apparently used in the war in Syria this week. | 0:01:40 | 0:01:44 | |
At least 86 people died. | 0:01:44 | 0:01:46 | |
A chemical weapons expert believes the Syrian president, | 0:01:46 | 0:01:49 | |
Bashar al-Assad, was responsible. | 0:01:49 | 0:01:51 | |
He's denied it, blaming the rebel fighters who want him out. | 0:01:51 | 0:01:54 | |
Here's Jenny on what chemical weapons are, and why | 0:01:54 | 0:01:57 | |
they cause such anger. | 0:01:57 | 0:02:00 | |
Chemical weapons are toxic chemicals that are used to hurt or kill. | 0:02:00 | 0:02:05 | |
They were used in World War I, more than 100 years ago. | 0:02:05 | 0:02:08 | |
They caused such horror that, in 1925, countries agreed | 0:02:08 | 0:02:12 | |
to an international ban on using them in war. | 0:02:12 | 0:02:16 | |
Even in war, there are rules that countries agree to - | 0:02:16 | 0:02:19 | |
some of those are about the types of weapons that can be used. | 0:02:19 | 0:02:23 | |
20 years ago, there was an agreement called | 0:02:23 | 0:02:25 | |
the Chemical Weapons Convention. | 0:02:25 | 0:02:28 | |
192 nations, including Syria, have signed it - | 0:02:28 | 0:02:31 | |
agreeing to destroy all their chemical weapons. | 0:02:31 | 0:02:34 | |
That's why there's a lot of anger about the suspected attack, | 0:02:34 | 0:02:37 | |
in a country that's been at war for more than six years. | 0:02:37 | 0:02:42 | |
For a full outline of what's going on in Syria - | 0:02:42 | 0:02:45 | |
go online now, for our guide to the conflict there. | 0:02:45 | 0:02:49 | |
Moving on, Pepsi have said sorry and pulled their latest advert, | 0:02:49 | 0:02:51 | |
after it got lots of negative comments. | 0:02:51 | 0:02:54 | |
The ad stars American model Kendall Jenner at a protest. | 0:02:54 | 0:02:58 | |
She walks up to a police officer, hands him a can of Pepsi and then | 0:02:58 | 0:03:02 | |
everyone cheers and hugs. | 0:03:02 | 0:03:04 | |
People have complained because they say it makes light | 0:03:04 | 0:03:07 | |
of recent US protests against how police treat black people. | 0:03:07 | 0:03:10 | |
Pepsi have said they "clearly missed the mark". | 0:03:10 | 0:03:15 | |
From Pepsi to Peggy - the awesome astronaut who can't | 0:03:15 | 0:03:17 | |
stop breaking records. | 0:03:17 | 0:03:19 | |
The American will soon do her record-breaking ninth spacewalk - | 0:03:19 | 0:03:22 | |
and her stay on the International Space Station's just been | 0:03:22 | 0:03:25 | |
extended by three months! | 0:03:25 | 0:03:26 | |
Here's Jenny on five ways Peggy Whitson is wowing us all. | 0:03:26 | 0:03:33 | |
In 2008 Peggy became the first ever woman to command the ISS. | 0:03:33 | 0:03:41 | |
And that's not the only record Peggy's broken. | 0:03:42 | 0:03:44 | |
Her first mission was back in 2002 and she holds the record | 0:03:44 | 0:03:47 | |
for the longest time spent in space by a woman. | 0:03:47 | 0:03:50 | |
This is Peggy's third mission to the ISS and this time, | 0:03:52 | 0:03:55 | |
when she set off on November 18th in 2016, she became the oldest | 0:03:55 | 0:03:59 | |
woman to enter space. | 0:03:59 | 0:04:01 | |
Peggy turned 57 in February. | 0:04:01 | 0:04:06 | |
She's completed more spacewalks than any other | 0:04:06 | 0:04:08 | |
female astronaut - eight so far! | 0:04:08 | 0:04:15 | |
And there's one big one to come - on April 24th, she'll have | 0:04:19 | 0:04:22 | |
spent more time in space than any other US astronaut. | 0:04:22 | 0:04:26 | |
She'll beat the current 534-day record held by Jeff Williams! | 0:04:26 | 0:04:32 | |
Finally - it's the Gaming Baftas tonight - an awards do to recognise | 0:04:34 | 0:04:37 | |
the best games in the UK and around the world. | 0:04:37 | 0:04:40 | |
Among the frontrunners are Overcooked - which is up | 0:04:40 | 0:04:43 | |
for four prizes including Best Family Game. | 0:04:43 | 0:04:46 | |
Also in that category is Pokemon Go, which has three nominations. | 0:04:46 | 0:04:52 | |
That's all from me - Newsround's back on CBBC tomorrow | 0:04:52 | 0:04:55 | |
