Hello there. You are live with me, Nel, taking you into the weekend

:00:00.:00:12.

with news of a World Cup buzz, plus the big building that dangles you

:00:13.:00:18.

high over the city's skyline. It is Newsround.

:00:19.:00:23.

First, let's go deep under the ocean. Scientists think some sea

:00:24.:00:29.

creatures and plants off the waters in the UK's coastline could hold the

:00:30.:00:33.

key to treating many different illnesses. The ocean - home to some

:00:34.:00:38.

of nature's most magnificent creatures and now, potentially, the

:00:39.:00:44.

place that is holding the secrets to improve some aspects of human

:00:45.:00:46.

health. Here, off the west coast of

:00:47.:00:50.

Scotland, these divers are among the first to try and test the theory

:00:51.:00:55.

that sea life could be used to make new medicines. The plants and

:00:56.:00:59.

animals that live under the ocean have done so for millions of years.

:01:00.:01:05.

They have evolved. They have, as a result, developed a range of

:01:06.:01:08.

chemicals. Some of these chemicals we will have the potential to use in

:01:09.:01:13.

the future for antibiotics or even possibly to cure cancer. There is a

:01:14.:01:19.

lot to go at. The oceans cover more than two-thirds of the Earth's

:01:20.:01:22.

surface. So far, scientists have only looked at a tiny part of it.

:01:23.:01:26.

The European Union think that the oceans have so much to offer that

:01:27.:01:31.

they are planning to spend ?120 million to explore more. For the

:01:32.:01:35.

first time, scientists have started to look in the marine environment,

:01:36.:01:39.

under the oceans to look for new drugs. Many of the drugs that are

:01:40.:01:43.

onshore have already been discovered. There is a huge range -

:01:44.:01:50.

a treasure trove - of chemicals in plants, animals and bacteria in the

:01:51.:01:54.

sea. There's been some criticism of the idea from those who wonder what

:01:55.:01:58.

effects searching the sea in this way could have on wildlife. Even if

:01:59.:02:02.

scientists find what they think they will, it could take a long time to

:02:03.:02:07.

develop and test new medicines. But with big backing and a belief this

:02:08.:02:11.

research could really help people in the future, scientists say they will

:02:12.:02:16.

continue to study the life-saving potential of life beneath the waves.

:02:17.:02:23.

Next, it is just five weeks until the football World Cup starts in

:02:24.:02:27.

Brazil. The buzz around the build-up is about to crank up. The people

:02:28.:02:35.

behind Sean Shaun the Sheep have made the official advert. It has

:02:36.:02:41.

been made using state-of-the-art ammunition.

:02:42.:02:47.

We will use a method called CGI, with which is computer generated

:02:48.:02:52.

imagery. We will create the characters in the computer and then

:02:53.:02:56.

we'll put them into a life action real film scene and try and make

:02:57.:03:00.

them look like they are in the same environment.

:03:01.:03:03.

That's the build-up to the Brazil World Cup sorted. Lots of you have

:03:04.:03:08.

debated how England could do better in future tournaments on the website

:03:09.:03:12.

today. It is after FA chairman, Greg Dyke, was forced to defend new plans

:03:13.:03:16.

to address the lack of young English stars. His special commission

:03:17.:03:20.

recommended a new division for Premier League B teams, which has

:03:21.:03:22.

been criticised. So, we have asked youed for your

:03:23.:03:25.

ideas. Now, to the skyscraper with a

:03:26.:03:47.

difference. This massive building in America has special windows that

:03:48.:03:52.

allow people to tilt forward and hang over Chicago's skyline. It

:03:53.:03:56.

happens 300 metres up, on the 94th floor and the windows tilt at a

:03:57.:04:02.

30-degrees angle. Imagine having to open it for some fresh air! Denmark

:04:03.:04:07.

is gearing up to host the final of the Eurovision Song Contest

:04:08.:04:10.

tomorrow. More than 120 million people are expected to tune in

:04:11.:04:16.

worldwide to see Greece's trampolining entrants and Molly

:04:17.:04:20.

singing Children of the Universe. There's more on the history of the

:04:21.:04:25.

contest on tomorrow's Newsround. We thought we would leave you with some

:04:26.:04:30.

of the best bits over the years. Good evening...

:04:31.:04:33.

# Save all your kisses for me. # I liked a girl...

:04:34.:05:00.

# We're children of t Children of the Universe.
