Hello, you're live with Newsround this Thursday morning. I'm Leah, | :00:00. | :00:07. | |
with some of this on the way. The giant underground trampoline in | :00:08. | :00:10. | |
Wales. And find out who's joining Germany | :00:11. | :00:12. | |
in the World Cup final - Argentina or the Netherlands? | :00:13. | :00:23. | |
But first this morning, lots of you won't be going to school today | :00:24. | :00:26. | |
because your teachers are joining over a million council workers, | :00:27. | :00:29. | |
It's the biggest protest over pay that the current Government has ever | :00:30. | :00:33. | |
faced and will affect services across England, | :00:34. | :00:35. | |
Firefighters, hospital staff, government workers | :00:36. | :00:45. | |
They are all supposed to be at work today, but many of them won't be. | :00:46. | :00:51. | |
That's because more than 1 million of these | :00:52. | :00:53. | |
A strike is when a group of workers agrees to stop working | :00:54. | :00:57. | |
They do this when they want to protest against something they | :00:58. | :01:01. | |
They think that by stopping work, politicians will listen more | :01:02. | :01:05. | |
Teachers think they are having to work too hard and do too many things | :01:06. | :01:12. | |
The support staff, classroom assistants, | :01:13. | :01:18. | |
dinner ladies, caretakers, they are going on strike because | :01:19. | :01:21. | |
People in the UK have had the right to | :01:22. | :01:27. | |
The first big strike was held in 1926, when nearly all of the UK came | :01:28. | :01:32. | |
to a standstill over a row about coal miners' working conditions. | :01:33. | :01:34. | |
Since then, people have gone on strike over things like pay, | :01:35. | :01:38. | |
working conditions, equal treatment for men and women, and job losses. | :01:39. | :01:44. | |
But after a series of big protests by miners in the 1980s, | :01:45. | :01:47. | |
the government introduced new rules that made it harder to strike. | :01:48. | :01:53. | |
Back to today, and the government say they can't afford to pay what | :01:54. | :01:56. | |
We can only do what we can afford to do as a country. | :01:57. | :02:03. | |
The only people who are going to be injured or hurt by these strikes | :02:04. | :02:06. | |
are those who have got nothing to do with the dispute whatsoever. | :02:07. | :02:10. | |
For you, it may come as a day off school. | :02:11. | :02:13. | |
But for teachers, other workers and the government, the row is expected | :02:14. | :02:16. | |
Next, a big disappointment for the Netherlands, but a huge celebration | :02:17. | :02:24. | |
for Argentina, who made it through to the World Cup final last night | :02:25. | :02:27. | |
after a gruelling match that was goalless after extra time. Here's | :02:28. | :02:30. | |
BBC Sport's Olly Foster with a recap of the match. | :02:31. | :02:40. | |
and local welcome to Rio de Janeiro. After 62 matches over the | :02:41. | :02:45. | |
last four weeks all over Brazil, we are just three days away from the | :02:46. | :02:50. | |
final and we know who is going to be playing after a crazy couple of | :02:51. | :02:53. | |
semifinals. We had that amazing result with Germany beating Brazil | :02:54. | :02:58. | |
7-1. And almost completely the opposite, no goals last night | :02:59. | :03:02. | |
between Argentina and the Netherlands, even though they had | :03:03. | :03:06. | |
some of the worlds best strikers playing. Arjen Robben, Robin van | :03:07. | :03:09. | |
Persie and Lionel Messi. They couldn't even get a goal in extra | :03:10. | :03:13. | |
time so they had to take penalty kicks. Argentina didn't miss any of | :03:14. | :03:19. | |
those, as the Dutch had two saved by Romero. He is Argentina's hero who | :03:20. | :03:24. | |
has taken them to the World Cup final, where they face the Germans | :03:25. | :03:27. | |
in Rio de Janeiro on Sunday. final, where they face the Germans | :03:28. | :03:40. | |
Now to what could be the best thing ever. This is an underground | :03:41. | :03:42. | |
trampoline. It was made out of an old mine in Wales to create a giant | :03:43. | :03:45. | |
underground play area. BBC Wales reporter Tomos Morgan was lucky | :03:46. | :03:48. | |
enough to have a go - take a look. During the 1900s, these slate mines | :03:49. | :03:58. | |
were the beating heart of the town. Hardhats aside, this isn't a mine | :03:59. | :04:01. | |
any more, but a giant playroom. Twice the size of St Paul's | :04:02. | :04:05. | |
Cathedral, with a kilometre of ropes to hold everyone up, this | :04:06. | :04:07. | |
is the largest, possibly the only, I feel like a kid again. | :04:08. | :04:10. | |
a sell-out attraction. I need to get a bit fitter! | :04:11. | :04:25. | |
The atmosphere's fantastic. It's a game of snakes and ladders | :04:26. | :04:32. | |
between the three levels, It took four months to clear | :04:33. | :04:34. | |
the cave to make this funhouse. Local sports clubs have already | :04:35. | :04:40. | |
booked in their fitness sessions. And after an hour's bouncing around, | :04:41. | :04:43. | |
it's easy to see why. After a while, even lying | :04:44. | :04:47. | |
down seems to be a challenge. That is all from me. We are back in | :04:48. | :05:00. | |
half an hour. | :05:01. | :05:01. |
