Good afternoon. I have everything you need to know. Here's what is | :00:10. | :00:14. | |
coming up - the Pope resigns. The first Pope to do so for nearly 600 | :00:14. | :00:20. | |
years. And the latest on the horsemeat | :00:20. | :00:27. | |
scandal spreading across Europe. You're watching Newsround. | :00:27. | :00:30. | |
First, after nearly eight years in the job, the Pope has announced | :00:30. | :00:36. | |
today that he is resigning as the leader of the Catholic Church. At | :00:36. | :00:39. | |
85 years old, Pope Benedict XVI said he was no longer strong enough | :00:39. | :00:47. | |
to continue. He is the first Pope to resign in nearly 600 years. | :00:47. | :00:51. | |
It is one of the most important jobs in the world. As the most | :00:52. | :00:56. | |
senior person in the Catholic Church, he guides more than one | :00:56. | :01:00. | |
billion people who follow the faith. Pope Benedict XVI has today | :01:00. | :01:05. | |
resigned and will leave the job at the end of this month. His | :01:05. | :01:08. | |
resignation has come as a complete surprise. This is an extraordinary, | :01:08. | :01:14. | |
historic moment in the modern story of the Catholic Church. Nobody had | :01:14. | :01:23. | |
any hint that this moment was coming. He announced at 85, he is | :01:23. | :01:27. | |
too old to continue and doesn't have the strength to carry out his | :01:27. | :01:31. | |
duties. Stepping down as the Pope is a huge deal. He's the first to | :01:31. | :01:39. | |
do so in almost 600 years. I think people are very upset and saddened. | :01:39. | :01:45. | |
Pope John Paul II, as we know went on through thick and thin. This man | :01:45. | :01:50. | |
is a very different character. He requires a lot of silence, a lot of | :01:50. | :01:56. | |
his own space, where as John Paul thrived en masse sieve crowds. | :01:56. | :02:01. | |
Benedict XVI, whose real name is Joseph Ratzinger, became Pope in | :02:01. | :02:05. | |
2005. At 75 he was one of the oldest to take up the post. Based | :02:06. | :02:10. | |
at the Vatican in Rome, his job has been to lead the Catholic Church. | :02:10. | :02:14. | |
In 2010, he visited the UK. Hundreds of thousands of people | :02:14. | :02:18. | |
turned out to welcome him. In December last year, the Pope joined | :02:18. | :02:23. | |
Twitter, sending messages in eight languages to his millions of | :02:23. | :02:26. | |
followers around the world. The Prime Minister, David Cameron,, has | :02:27. | :02:32. | |
said the Pope will be missed by millions. He will step down on | :02:32. | :02:38. | |
February 28td and -- 28th and the process will begin. There's a food | :02:38. | :02:43. | |
scandal which has spread across Europe. After horsemeat was found | :02:43. | :02:47. | |
in Findus lasagne's last week France and Sweden have joined the | :02:47. | :02:54. | |
UK in withdrawing some meat products from their shelves. | :02:54. | :02:57. | |
What does the scandal tell us about the food we eat, where it comes | :02:57. | :03:05. | |
from and how it gets here? Horsemeat found in burgers sold in | :03:05. | :03:10. | |
British and Irish supermarkets... It has been going off for a month. | :03:10. | :03:16. | |
Since traces of horse DNA were found, things got more serious when | :03:17. | :03:22. | |
some Findus lasagnes sold here were found to contain 100% horsemeat. | :03:22. | :03:26. | |
Our food takes a long and complicated journey through many | :03:26. | :03:31. | |
countries, which explains some reasons why how the food is | :03:31. | :03:35. | |
contaminated. This is what is thought to have happen. Findus is | :03:35. | :03:40. | |
Swedish. The meals were made by a French food supplier, not in France, | :03:40. | :03:45. | |
but in a factory in Luxembourg. The meat was brought from a Cypriot | :03:45. | :03:50. | |
trader. That trader bought frit the Netherlands. It is suspected the | :03:50. | :03:53. | |
meat came from slaughterhouses in Romania. The authoritys there are | :03:53. | :03:57. | |
investigating. There are no plans at the moment to ban imports from | :03:57. | :04:01. | |
the EU, as the Government says there's currently no risk to human | :04:01. | :04:06. | |
health. All the evidence of the products so far is they are safe. | :04:06. | :04:11. | |
They are not as labelled. This is a case of fraud and mis-labelling. | :04:11. | :04:15. | |
There's nothing we have seen so far which represents a health threat. | :04:15. | :04:19. | |
Later today Owen Paterson will update MPs on the latest | :04:19. | :04:23. | |
developments in the scandal spreading across Europe. | :04:23. | :04:29. | |
It has got a lot of you talking F we hear any more about the | :04:29. | :04:32. | |
horsemeat scandal we will let you know later tonight. OK, we will | :04:32. | :04:37. | |
finish with news, the Government wants to make food and nutrition | :04:37. | :04:42. | |
lessons compulsory in schools in England to help improve skills in | :04:42. | :04:47. | |
the kitchen. Do you reckon it is a good idea or do you know enough | :04:47. | :04:51. |
