:00:00. > :00:11.It's Thursday. I'm Martin. Coming up on Newsround... The solar powered

:00:12. > :00:13.plane set to fly around the world. And the priest wowing wedding guests

:00:14. > :00:20.in Ireland. First up, we're talking Manchester

:00:21. > :00:25.United. A football team that have been the best in the country for 20

:00:26. > :00:28.years but not at the moment. They currently sit seventh in the league

:00:29. > :00:32.and were knocked out of the Champions League last night. They've

:00:33. > :00:35.got fans all over the world and we know loads of you support them as

:00:36. > :00:38.well but, if their bad form continues, will we soon be seeing

:00:39. > :00:48.less Man United shirts in the playground? In the past, the teams

:00:49. > :00:52.with the most fans were the most successful on the pitch. In the

:00:53. > :00:58.1970s and 80s Liverpool dominated football and lots of kids supported

:00:59. > :01:02.them. From the 1990s, it was the turn of Manchester United. Last year

:01:03. > :01:07.they won a record-breaking 20th league title. This season has not

:01:08. > :01:10.gone to plan. They sit seventh in the Premier league. Last night there

:01:11. > :01:15.were knocked out of the champions league. Will Manchester United fans

:01:16. > :01:19.be changing their shirts to another club? Some of the kids that go to

:01:20. > :01:23.this school in Wrexham in Wales to not have a local Premier league team

:01:24. > :01:29.to follow so support Manchester United as well as the local club.

:01:30. > :01:32.United are still a good team but they are not doing as well as

:01:33. > :01:38.Liverpool and people might want to go to success. If my friends switch

:01:39. > :01:46.from Manchester United to another team, I would be very disappointed.

:01:47. > :01:51.Football fans do not always supported team because they are

:01:52. > :01:56.successful, some families support a team for generations, regardless of

:01:57. > :02:00.results. With Liverpool at the top of the league could we be seeing

:02:01. > :02:10.Gerard Rather than Rooney on the back of shirts.

:02:11. > :02:15.Laura says, people should stick with Man U because they will get better.

:02:16. > :02:19.But Sarah won't be sticking with Man U because she doesn't think David

:02:20. > :02:22.Moyes is the right man. Their mission, to fly around the world in

:02:23. > :02:25.a plane powered only by the sun. That's the challenge for the pilots

:02:26. > :02:29.of the solar-powered plane Impulse two. The aircraft is currently in a

:02:30. > :02:32.hanger in Switzerland before it takes off next year. Ayshah explains

:02:33. > :02:36.how it works. This plane does not need any fuel, instead it is powered

:02:37. > :02:40.by 18,000 solar panels on the wings. During the day, the cells store up

:02:41. > :02:43.energy which is then used to fly during the night. Do you remember

:02:44. > :02:48.the Walt Disney animation of Dumbo, the elephant that was born with is

:02:49. > :02:51.that with a big everyone was laughing? These is allowed the

:02:52. > :02:57.elephant to fly. This aeroplane is the same. With a 72 metre wingspan,

:02:58. > :03:00.the specialists in aviation were laughing, they thought it would

:03:01. > :03:04.never fly. Its wings are the same size as a standard jet like the

:03:05. > :03:08.Boeing 747. And it is also really light for a plane, weighing about

:03:09. > :03:12.the same as a large car. But it isn't as fast as a normal aircraft

:03:13. > :03:15.with a top speed of only around 80 miles per hour. The team have

:03:16. > :03:19.already flown an earlier model across America to test the

:03:20. > :03:26.technology works. The cockpit is also kitted out for long periods of

:03:27. > :03:31.time in the air when the plane is crossing oceans and can't land. I

:03:32. > :03:36.can do some exercise and I can even rest. This makes a big difference.

:03:37. > :03:40.We have a toilet, which is very important. The team behind this

:03:41. > :03:43.plane have worked for 12 years developing it and are looking

:03:44. > :03:46.forward to next year when they attempt to make aviation history.

:03:47. > :03:49.The Speaker of the House of Commons, John Bercow has told Newsround

:03:50. > :03:53.there's room for improvement in the way Prime Minister's Questions are

:03:54. > :03:56.done. It comes after loads of you got in touch to say you weren't

:03:57. > :03:59.impressed with the behaviour of some politicians. Well, yesterday, Ayshah

:04:00. > :04:10.and two Newsround viewers, Stella and Muhannad, visited Parliament

:04:11. > :04:16.with some of your comments. When MPs do misbehave, identity get involved

:04:17. > :04:22.and stop it? I do. I intervene frequently at Prime Minister 's

:04:23. > :04:26.questions. Every week, you will hear me say, order! There is a lot of

:04:27. > :04:30.room for improvement in the way we go about this particular session and

:04:31. > :04:34.I would hope the Prime Minister and the leader of the opposition would

:04:35. > :04:38.be willing to take note and show respect for the views of young

:04:39. > :04:41.people. And to see Ayshah's full report from Parliament, plus find

:04:42. > :04:46.out more about the Speaker's job, head to the Newsround website.

:04:47. > :04:49.Finally, now have a listen to this. This priest in Ireland surprised

:04:50. > :04:54.wedding guests by bursting into song. He sang a special version of

:04:55. > :04:59.halleluiah at the service and the video has had over 240,000 views

:05:00. > :05:01.online. That's all from me, Newsround's back at 6:50pm. See you.
