better. You are live with Newsround. I'm Leah with today's best stories, | :00:15. | :00:20. | |
including the sewer the size of a bus. Find out which X Factor judge | :00:20. | :00:26. | |
is calling it quits. First, to a big debate about how | :00:26. | :00:30. | |
much of the money you donate to charity should be spent on paying | :00:30. | :00:34. | |
those who work for them. Today, some of the UK's leading charities have | :00:34. | :00:40. | |
been told off for giving their bosses too much. Here is more. | :00:40. | :00:45. | |
You are fired. You are fired. are hired. A top job usually comes | :00:45. | :00:49. | |
with lots of money. But when you are the boss of a charity, how much | :00:49. | :00:54. | |
should you be paid? The man who looks at charities in England and | :00:54. | :00:58. | |
Wales says they might be paying bosses too much. He says that might | :00:58. | :01:02. | |
annoy ordinary people who donate their hard-earned cash. | :01:02. | :01:07. | |
The lots of organisations getting fewer donations as people struggle | :01:07. | :01:11. | |
with money, William Shawcross reckons charities need to keep a | :01:11. | :01:17. | |
closer eye on what their Chief Executives get. According to the | :01:17. | :01:25. | |
Daily Telegraph, the British Red Cross was paid �184,000 last year to | :01:25. | :01:30. | |
the bosses. Save the Children boss got �160,000 and Christian Aid's | :01:30. | :01:37. | |
boss got over �126,000. How does that compare to other professions? A | :01:37. | :01:41. | |
qualified nurse earns �21,000, a primary schoolteacher can earn | :01:41. | :01:46. | |
�30,000, a top Doctor can take home around �90,000, the man in charge of | :01:46. | :01:51. | |
the BBC is paid �450,000 a year. Footballer Jermaine Defoe got �3 | :01:51. | :01:58. | |
million in 2012, so is the Chief Executive of a charity worth more | :01:58. | :02:02. | |
than �100,000? I can understand very easily, though looking at the | :02:02. | :02:06. | |
figures and frankly being horrified. You have to bear in mind that to run | :02:06. | :02:10. | |
an organisation like this, you need someone with the skills, expertise | :02:10. | :02:13. | |
and experience. Some say for charities to survive, they need to | :02:13. | :02:18. | |
act more like businesses, but the big question is, should the money we | :02:18. | :02:22. | |
raise be spent on the bosses unstead of the people who need it the most? | :02:22. | :02:32. | |

dinner yet, look away. We are about to show you what gave sewer workers | :03:32. | :03:36. | |
in London a surprise when they investigated a mysterious blockage. | :03:36. | :03:39. | |
Here is Martin with the gruesome details. | :03:39. | :03:43. | |
People go about their daily business. Something is lurking | :03:43. | :03:51. | |
underground. The attack of the... | :03:51. | :04:00. | |
It doesn't look that threatening. This lump of fat is the biggest | :04:00. | :04:04. | |
discovered after people living in Surrey found they couldn't flush | :04:04. | :04:09. | |
their toilets. The sewer was almost completely | :04:09. | :04:13. | |
clogged with over 15 tonnes of fat, caused by people pouring oil down | :04:13. | :04:17. | |
the drain and throwing things like baby wipes down the loo. | :04:18. | :04:21. | |
They should never ever put these into the sewers because they reach | :04:21. | :04:26. | |
points like this, they harden and block the sewers which means sewage | :04:26. | :04:30. | |
backs up and it can back up through people's toilets. | :04:30. | :04:35. | |
The fat bug swelled to the size of a double-decker bus and took workmen | :04:35. | :04:38. | |
three weeks to blast it using water jets. | :04:38. | :04:41. | |
The next time you are about to throw something down the drain, just have | :04:41. | :04:51. |
