:00:21. > :00:28.Hello, Joe and Keighley Whitsun midweek Newsround fun. It is pretty
:00:28. > :00:34.cold, but not as cold as this next place. We take a look behind the
:00:34. > :00:40.scenes of Frozen Planet. And we get up close and personal with Pussycat
:00:40. > :00:44.Dolls, Nicole Scherzinger. First, there are only 233 days until the
:00:44. > :00:49.Olympics kicks off in London, but some Olympic hopefuls are finding
:00:49. > :00:56.it hard to find the money to train. James Ellington is so desperate to
:00:56. > :01:03.get a sponsorship deal he has decided to sell himself on eBay.
:01:03. > :01:08.The athlete told the BBC-wide he needs �30,000. �30,000 which may
:01:08. > :01:14.sound a lot to a lot of people, but if you break it down into a yearly
:01:14. > :01:20.wage, just as a wage, and their expenses and travelling and
:01:20. > :01:25.everything else to get around. have been to speak to the BBC's
:01:25. > :01:30.sports correspondent, Matt Slater, to find out if this is unusual.
:01:30. > :01:38.is an old story. Going on eBay is new. Is there enough money going on
:01:38. > :01:42.athletes? At the top end there is. It is a cut-throat business. We are
:01:42. > :01:46.using National Lottery money -- money to fund people to win us
:01:47. > :01:51.medals. At the top end you have got the big names like Jessica Ennis.
:01:51. > :01:57.They are so well known, they do not need money. They have individual
:01:57. > :02:04.sponsors. The next level down, somebody like Dai Greene, the
:02:04. > :02:08.hurdler, he would be getting around �27,000 which is enough for all his
:02:08. > :02:13.training. He does not need the job. Do you think the next generation
:02:13. > :02:18.will have to do things like this to get the money they need? Almost
:02:18. > :02:23.definitely. We know the public funding for elite sport will fall
:02:23. > :02:28.off a debt. They will have to use a social media, Twitter, Facebook,
:02:28. > :02:32.eBay, whatever means it is to promote themselves. We will see a
:02:33. > :02:37.lot more of this. Next to a Russia where thousands of police and
:02:37. > :02:42.soldiers are on the streets of the capital Moscow after two days of
:02:42. > :02:47.protests. People are angry about the elections that happened on
:02:47. > :02:53.Sunday. They reckon it was fixed and they do not want Prime Minister
:02:53. > :02:57.Vladimir Putin in power. More than 250 people have been arrested.
:02:57. > :03:02.How do you go about filming in the polar regions? You have got
:03:02. > :03:06.freezing conditions, it cannot be easy. It is the last episode of
:03:06. > :03:12.Frozen Planet tonight and I have been finding out how the crew
:03:12. > :03:16.managed to do it. Frozen Planet, the incredible
:03:16. > :03:21.programme that has given as an inside view of the last great
:03:21. > :03:26.wilderness on earth, the polar regions. It showed as the Arctic
:03:26. > :03:32.and Antarctic as they had never been seen before. It took four
:03:32. > :03:42.years to make and the producers used 38 sled dogs. Were 598 pairs
:03:42. > :03:46.of thermals, spent 35 days trapped intense and experienced -50 degrees
:03:46. > :03:50.Celsius temperatures. The series captured a amazing moments. The
:03:50. > :03:54.killer whales that generated a giant waves to not seals off ice
:03:54. > :04:01.floes in the water. The crafty penguin who stole a rock
:04:01. > :04:04.from his mate. And the eyrie, ice finger of death,
:04:04. > :04:10.a three-metre long ice stalactite that plunged towards the sea bed
:04:10. > :04:15.killing everything it touched. is the most unbelievable a series
:04:15. > :04:19.of shots I have ever seen. It was like something out of Harry Potter.
:04:19. > :04:23.It took 38 camera men to fund the series and they spent months away
:04:23. > :04:28.from their families living off special packets of food. This is
:04:28. > :04:32.pretty much lunch, dinner and breakfast for two months for two
:04:32. > :04:38.people will stop the show would not have been complete without the
:04:38. > :04:43.present day, the legend that is Sir David Attenborough. I am standing
:04:43. > :04:47.in the middle of a frozen ocean. Britain's best known natural
:04:47. > :04:51.history film maker, whose career has spanned nearly 50 years, and it
:04:51. > :04:56.was the first time he had ever been to the North Pole. It may have
:04:56. > :05:00.taken years to make under some of the most difficult conditions, but
:05:00. > :05:06.for shots like this, they think it was worth it. David Attenborough is
:05:06. > :05:13.a hero of mine. I will miss that. It will be repeated at the weekend.
:05:13. > :05:17.How many books do you have? One in three kids do not own any. It has
:05:17. > :05:22.got people worried this will affect how well kits can read and how well
:05:22. > :05:32.they do in class. We wanted to know what you thought about this. Do you
:05:32. > :05:43.
:05:43. > :05:47.Let's get some television news. She has had tons of hits with the
:05:47. > :05:53.Pussycat Dolls and judged the X Factor on both sides of the
:05:53. > :05:58.Atlantic. I am talking about Nicole Scherzinger. She is also performing
:05:58. > :06:03.at the Royal Variety Show. We went to catch up with her to get some
:06:03. > :06:08.gossip. The Royal Variety Performance has been going by
:06:08. > :06:13.nearly a century. Every year stars from stage and screen perform in
:06:13. > :06:17.front of royalty. Nicole Scherzinger is one of this year's
:06:17. > :06:23.stand-out performers. I had a chance to meet her. What does it
:06:23. > :06:29.feel like to be part of such a British institution? A few years
:06:29. > :06:33.back I was shaking in my boots and it is an honoured to be able to
:06:33. > :06:37.perform and that they have an amazing condition still going.
:06:37. > :06:42.are going to be meeting the Princess. How do you feel about
:06:42. > :06:48.that? I will give her a big hug or something. I probably should not be
:06:48. > :06:54.that. Nicole is a judge on the American X Factor, but has been a
:06:54. > :07:00.guest judge over here as well. We are in the final stages of the show
:07:00. > :07:06.here. What does it take to be in the show at this stage? Working
:07:06. > :07:11.with the contestants so closely, you see who really delivers once
:07:12. > :07:20.they get on stage. It is different when they are rehearsing. When they
:07:20. > :07:23.get on stage you can tell they are really at home. I miss the talent
:07:23. > :07:29.here because the talent is a bit more bubbly and fun. It is
:07:29. > :07:33.different. My Chester City need a miracle if
:07:33. > :07:39.they are to get through to the knockout stages of the Champions
:07:39. > :07:46.League. They have to beat Bayern Munich. We will let you know in the
:07:46. > :07:50.morning. That is it from me. Tune into the one show on BBC One
