Morning - I'm Ricky,
and this is Newsround. | 0:00:12 | 0:00:14 | |
First to the US, where flash floods
and mudslides have caused loads | 0:00:14 | 0:00:19 | |
of damage in southern California. | 0:00:19 | 0:00:21 | |
Rescue teams are trying to help
people after heavy rains | 0:00:21 | 0:00:23 | |
turned roads into rivers. | 0:00:23 | 0:00:25 | |
Witnesses have described large
rocks, the size of small cars, | 0:00:25 | 0:00:28 | |
rolling down hills, blocking roads
and destroying houses. | 0:00:28 | 0:00:33 | |
Police say more than 100 people have
been taken to hospital. | 0:00:33 | 0:00:36 | |
At least 13 people have died. | 0:00:36 | 0:00:39 | |
Gay people can get married
everywhere in the UK apart | 0:00:39 | 0:00:43 | |
from in Northern Ireland. | 0:00:43 | 0:00:44 | |
Two women or two men have been able
to marry in England, | 0:00:44 | 0:00:47 | |
Scotland and Wales since 2014. | 0:00:47 | 0:00:49 | |
Martin's been speaking
to Northern Ireland, to find out | 0:00:49 | 0:00:53 | |
what people there think. | 0:00:53 | 0:00:55 | |
We're all just people
and we should have equal rights, | 0:00:55 | 0:00:57 | |
no matter who we are. | 0:00:57 | 0:00:59 | |
These kids set up this group
so there would be somewhere | 0:00:59 | 0:01:02 | |
for people who are gay and straight
to chat about things | 0:01:02 | 0:01:04 | |
that affect them. | 0:01:04 | 0:01:06 | |
And one big issue that comes up
again and again is gay marriage, | 0:01:06 | 0:01:09 | |
which isn't allowed in Northern
Ireland. | 0:01:09 | 0:01:12 | |
I think it's old-fashioned and a bit
slow of the people making the laws. | 0:01:12 | 0:01:21 | |
It's unfair, because when I'm older
and I do truly love someone | 0:01:21 | 0:01:26 | |
and want to get married, it just
means that I can't really do that. | 0:01:26 | 0:01:29 | |
If I could sit in front of people
that have the decision to change | 0:01:29 | 0:01:33 | |
this, I would tell them,
"What are you doing?" | 0:01:33 | 0:01:35 | |
Right now I shouldn't even be
here discussing why gay | 0:01:35 | 0:01:37 | |
marriage isn't a thing,
because it should | 0:01:37 | 0:01:39 | |
already be a thing here. | 0:01:39 | 0:01:40 | |
There's like a lot of people
in our area who don't actually know | 0:01:40 | 0:01:43 | |
that gay marriage still isn't legal
in Northern Ireland. | 0:01:43 | 0:01:47 | |
Eventually it will change. | 0:01:47 | 0:01:48 | |
I think we're just putting it off. | 0:01:48 | 0:01:51 | |
But obviously it's going to happen. | 0:01:51 | 0:01:54 | |
'S | 0:01:54 | 0:01:54 | |
For Alice, there is another reason
why it's important to her that gay | 0:01:54 | 0:01:59 | |
people should be able to marry. | 0:01:59 | 0:02:01 | |
Her uncle is gay and lives
in the Republic of Ireland, | 0:02:01 | 0:02:04 | |
where gay marriage is allowed,
after moving from Northern Ireland. | 0:02:04 | 0:02:08 | |
How was it knowing that you couldn't
get married even if you wanted | 0:02:08 | 0:02:11 | |
to in Northern Ireland? | 0:02:11 | 0:02:12 | |
What it does do is it
tells you that you're not | 0:02:12 | 0:02:15 | |
the same as everybody else -
you're not allowed the same | 0:02:15 | 0:02:17 | |
freedoms as everybody else. | 0:02:17 | 0:02:18 | |
And a lot of other people
in Northern Ireland want | 0:02:18 | 0:02:22 | |
the laws to change. | 0:02:22 | 0:02:23 | |
In a recent poll, over two thirds
of people here said they think gay | 0:02:23 | 0:02:26 | |
marriage should be allowed. | 0:02:26 | 0:02:30 | |
The biggest political party
here is called the DUP. | 0:02:30 | 0:02:36 | |
And I'm just outside
their headquarters in Belfast. | 0:02:36 | 0:02:38 | |
The DUP don't believe in gay
marriage, and that's a big reason | 0:02:38 | 0:02:41 | |
why it hasn't happened
in Northern Ireland - | 0:02:41 | 0:02:44 | |
unlike England, Wales and Scotland. | 0:02:44 | 0:02:48 | |
Now we wanted to speak
to someone from the DUP, | 0:02:48 | 0:02:51 | |
but no one wanted to be interviewed. | 0:02:51 | 0:02:54 | |
But someone who would
speak to us was John. | 0:02:54 | 0:02:56 | |
He is a Christian. | 0:02:56 | 0:02:58 | |
He thinks that gay marriage is
against what his religion teaches. | 0:02:58 | 0:03:02 | |
In the Bible I believe that marriage
is something that we didn't create - | 0:03:02 | 0:03:05 | |
it's something that was given to us
as a gift by God. | 0:03:05 | 0:03:08 | |
I think God suggests that
marriage is something | 0:03:08 | 0:03:12 | |
between a man and a woman. | 0:03:12 | 0:03:14 | |
I think it's important that
all people are treated well, | 0:03:14 | 0:03:17 | |
all people are treated with dignity,
all people are respected, | 0:03:17 | 0:03:21 | |
no matter their creed,
colour or sexual orientation. | 0:03:21 | 0:03:24 | |
And I think that is fair. | 0:03:24 | 0:03:28 | |
John - who we just heard from -
is from a big Christian group that | 0:03:28 | 0:03:32 | |
wants the ban on gay marriage
to continue in Northern Ireland. | 0:03:32 | 0:03:37 | |
Next to football, and Manchester
City came from behind | 0:03:37 | 0:03:39 | |
to beat Bristol City
in their League Cup | 0:03:39 | 0:03:41 | |
semi-final first leg match. | 0:03:41 | 0:03:44 | |
The Championship side took the lead
from the penalty spot | 0:03:44 | 0:03:46 | |
through Bobby Reid
at the Etihad Stadium. | 0:03:46 | 0:03:48 | |
Kevin de Bruyne then
equalised for the unbeaten | 0:03:48 | 0:03:52 | |
Premier League leaders,
followed by substitute | 0:03:52 | 0:03:53 | |
Aguero's late winner. | 0:03:53 | 0:03:55 | |
It means Manchester City take a 2-1
lead into their second match. | 0:03:55 | 0:04:02 | |
They're hard to see, but you can
probably find them in your | 0:04:02 | 0:04:05 | |
bathroom at home -
I'm talking about microbeads. | 0:04:05 | 0:04:07 | |
The UK has just banned them -
but what exactly are they? | 0:04:07 | 0:04:10 | |
Here's Ayshah. | 0:04:10 | 0:04:11 | |
Microbeads are a tiny
balls of plastic smaller | 0:04:11 | 0:04:15 | |
than five millimetres -
roughly the size of a grain of sand. | 0:04:15 | 0:04:20 | |
They're used in some shower gels,
face washes and toothpaste to help | 0:04:20 | 0:04:23 | |
add that extra scrub. | 0:04:23 | 0:04:26 | |
But now the UK has banned making
products containing them. | 0:04:26 | 0:04:28 | |
Why? | 0:04:28 | 0:04:29 | |
They say trillions of microbeads end
up in the world's oceans, | 0:04:29 | 0:04:32 | |
lakes and rivers, and that harms
the sea life who eat them | 0:04:32 | 0:04:35 | |
or breathe them in by mistake. | 0:04:35 | 0:04:39 | |
Just one shower can lead
to 100,000 plastic particles | 0:04:39 | 0:04:42 | |
going into the ocean. | 0:04:42 | 0:04:45 | |
Many companies have already
taken steps to remove | 0:04:45 | 0:04:47 | |
microbeads from their stuff. | 0:04:47 | 0:04:49 | |
And although making things with them
has now been banned, | 0:04:49 | 0:04:53 | |
microbeads won't be removed
from shops completely | 0:04:53 | 0:04:54 | |
until later this year. | 0:04:54 | 0:04:57 | |
Environmental campaigners hope
a worldwide ban will soon follow. | 0:04:57 | 0:05:04 | |
Now for something you
don't see every day. | 0:05:04 | 0:05:07 | |
This is the Sahara desert -
but not as you may know it. | 0:05:07 | 0:05:10 | |
Instead it's covered in snow. | 0:05:10 | 0:05:11 | |
It's only the third time in 40 years
that they've seen snowfall. | 0:05:11 | 0:05:14 | |
It didn't last long though -
it all melted away soon after these | 0:05:14 | 0:05:17 | |
pictures were taken. | 0:05:17 | 0:05:19 | |
Police patrolling the streets
in the US state of Florida | 0:05:19 | 0:05:22 | |
caught something pretty
unusual on camera. | 0:05:22 | 0:05:24 | |
Yep, a skateboarding dog. | 0:05:24 | 0:05:27 | |
He's doing nothing wrong,
but the police were clearly | 0:05:27 | 0:05:29 | |
impressed with his skills. | 0:05:29 | 0:05:30 | |
They filmed the pooch,
and then posted the video online. | 0:05:30 | 0:05:32 | |
He's got some serious skills. | 0:05:32 | 0:05:37 | |
Just enough time left to tell
you to head to Newsround online, | 0:05:37 | 0:05:40 | |
where you can see the amazing
wildlife photos which are part | 0:05:40 | 0:05:43 | |
of a national competition. | 0:05:43 | 0:05:44 | |
Plus, the London Underground
is 155 years old. | 0:05:44 | 0:05:46 | |
Take a look at the very first
tunnels created for the trains | 0:05:46 | 0:05:49 | |
underneath England's capital city. | 0:05:49 | 0:05:53 | |
That's it from us.
Have a great day at school. | 0:05:53 | 0:05:54 | |
Hayley's back with more Newsround
stories this afternoon. | 0:05:54 | 0:05:58 |
