:00:00. > :00:08.It's Tuesday afternoon, Ayshah here with your Newsround update. On the
:00:09. > :00:11.way: We've got the story of the pilot of this plane, who made an
:00:12. > :00:14.incredible escape. And how safari park visitors in
:00:15. > :00:21.Japan are getting the chance to get up close with lion cubs! This is
:00:22. > :00:24.Newsround. First, polio is a disease that
:00:25. > :00:27.mainly affects young children, but recently it looked like we were
:00:28. > :00:32.getting very close to getting rid of it forever. But the disease is on
:00:33. > :00:36.the rise in some countries, and doctors are warning that more needs
:00:37. > :00:39.to be done - quickly - to stamp out the illness. Here's Martin.
:00:40. > :00:44.It can be prevented by a vaccine with just a couple of drops. The
:00:45. > :00:48.world HAD made huge steps forward in recent years in stopping polio
:00:49. > :00:51.spreading. But now it's back on the rise.
:00:52. > :00:55.The vaccine is a weak form of the virus, that makes your body produce
:00:56. > :01:00.antibodies against the polio virus. These antibodies protect you from
:01:01. > :01:10.getting ill if you are infected. But why is polio such a problem? Polio
:01:11. > :01:14.is caused by the polio virus which infects the nervous system, and this
:01:15. > :01:21.destroys the muscles in our arms and legs. It can even affect the muscles
:01:22. > :01:24.that help us breathe. We are seeing a huge outbreak around the world
:01:25. > :01:27.because they are not able to get the vaccine that we are able to get in
:01:28. > :01:30.the UK. In the UK, babies are given the dose
:01:31. > :01:33.along with other vaccinations. It means polio hasn't occurred
:01:34. > :01:37.naturally here for many years - and it's not likely to ever again. But
:01:38. > :01:40.it's not the same story in other parts of the world. The World Health
:01:41. > :01:44.Organisation is now warning that cases of polio in some countries are
:01:45. > :01:49.increasing, calling it a global health emergency. This map shows the
:01:50. > :01:53.countries where polio exists - but some countries are more affected
:01:54. > :01:56.than others. In places like Syria, Afghanistan,
:01:57. > :02:01.and Somalia, war is a major factor and makes getting vaccines to the
:02:02. > :02:12.people who need it more difficult. One of the countries that's seeing a
:02:13. > :02:15.big increase is Pakistan. Militant groups violently oppose
:02:16. > :02:18.immunisation, and many health workers have been attacked.
:02:19. > :02:22.The message from the World Health Organisation is clear: governments
:02:23. > :02:25.in affected countries must act now to stop this preventable disease.
:02:26. > :02:28.Next, should the likes of Arsenal, Liverpool and Man City have second
:02:29. > :02:32.teams playing in the Football League? The FA is looking at big
:02:33. > :02:35.plans to try and shake up the league structure, to get more young,
:02:36. > :02:42.home-grown talent in English football. But how would it work?
:02:43. > :02:46.What they are thinking about is the idea of a new competition for the
:02:47. > :02:52.reserve teams of clubs in the top two divisions, and these teams would
:02:53. > :02:58.be composed mainly of young, English players, and that would give them
:02:59. > :03:02.much more experience. One problem is the not enough home-grown players.
:03:03. > :03:06.We have lots of international players, it is that for English
:03:07. > :03:10.players to get into those teams. Where would this fit into the food
:03:11. > :03:17.Link structure? That would raise issues of how promotion and
:03:18. > :03:21.relegation would work. -- food all structure.
:03:22. > :03:25.-- food. Now, this is the last thing you'd
:03:26. > :03:29.expect to find when you come home from school. This small plane
:03:30. > :03:31.crashed into a house in Colorado in America. It's thought that its
:03:32. > :03:35.engine failed. Luckily no-one was home at the time, and amazingly the
:03:36. > :03:39.pilot came away unhurt with just a few cuts and bruises. After escaping
:03:40. > :03:42.from the plane he even attempted to put the out fire himself with a
:03:43. > :03:45.garden hose, before firefighters arrived to save the day.
:03:46. > :03:48.Next up, tomorrow is a big day for women's cycling as the first ever
:03:49. > :03:52.women's Tour of Britain gets under way. Team GB's Olympic legends Laura
:03:53. > :03:55.Trott and Dani King will be taking part in front of cheering home
:03:56. > :03:59.crowds - but sadly not Joanna Rowsell, who's had to pull out with
:04:00. > :04:05.flu. But it still promises to be a big moment for the sport. There is
:04:06. > :04:13.no reason why Britain should not have a stage race. Cycling is
:04:14. > :04:18.massive now. I know how crazy great written is about cycling, they
:04:19. > :04:20.really love the sport. There will be a great experience, and I expect big
:04:21. > :04:23.crowds. And make sure you check out
:04:24. > :04:26.Newsround tomorrow morning, where we'll have a report from the start
:04:27. > :04:31.of the big race. And last up - we all know kittens
:04:32. > :04:35.are fun to play with, but how about baby lions? This pair of cute cubs
:04:36. > :04:38.were born a few weeks ago at a safari park in Japan, and since then
:04:39. > :04:41.have been entertaining visitors, even posing for photos. Their
:04:42. > :04:45.keepers say that while they're this tiny it's OK to have a cuddle with
:04:46. > :04:48.them, before they grow too big and dangerous!
:04:49. > :04:51.That's it from me. But if you're busy swapping World Cup football
:04:52. > :04:55.stickers, join us at 6:50 tonight. Ricky's been getting top trading
:04:56. > :05:01.tips from the experts in the City! See you then.
