11/03/2016 Newsround

has got a special new trick for you to try out.

See you.

Good morning, it's Hayley here with Newsround for you on TV

and online this Friday.

Keep watching.

It's five years on from the terrible earthquake that hit Japan.

And the natural event that draws in the crowds.

On 11 March 2011, Japan was struck by one of the most powerful

earthquakes on record.

It caused a giant wave out at sea, called a tsunami, which grew

to ten metres high.

Half an hour after the quake, the tsunami hit the north east coast

of Japan, destroying everything in its path.

Today, five years on from that terrible day, ceremonies have been

taking place to mark the occasion and remember those

who lost their lives.

Hinako was one of the children whose lives changed forever that day,

and Leah went to meet her.

Today in Ishinomaki, life is returning to normal.

But one girl who will never forget what happened that day is Hinako.

TRANSLATION: I was sitting somewhere around here when we felt the quake.

At first I didn't think it would be that big,

but soon I realised it would be huge.

We all went under desks to protect ourselves,

but the desks were shifting and the windows

were broken.

We all knew the earthquake wouldn't be as small as the ones

we were used to.

So, this is the room that Hinako and her friends witnessed

the tsunami waves rising and rising, and it was quite fast,

it was quite high.

TRANSLATION: It was shocking to see the seats and swings floating

in the water.

Rising up high enough to cover the whole slide.

I wondered, if I was outside at this very moment,

what would happen to me.

Hinako took us to where her old house used to be.

No one in the house was killed, but this empty spot

is all that remains.

This was where your home used to be.

Can you tell us what happened to it?

TRANSLATION: Ever since I was born, I lived in this house with my mum,

dad and big sister.

She was alone at home when the tsunami hit

the house.

She ran to our neighbour and saw a car being washed away

by the tsunami.

She insisted she never wanted to live around here again.

That's why we decided to leave the area.

My school friends helped me after the difficult times

following the tsunami.

I have many friends now.

I feel very lucky.

And don't forget to head online to watch Leah's special report

from Japan and find out exactly what happened five years ago today.

Planting trees around rivers could help to protect some areas

from flooding, according to new research.

A report says that tree planting could help to lower water levels

during floods by as much as 20%.

It's just one of the ideas that's being put forward to help protect

towns that are at risk.

Tourists in South America were treated to an amazing natural

sight when giant chunks of the Perito Moreno glacier broke

off in front of them in southern Argentina.

The glacier measures about 70 metres in height.

Every so often ice breaks off and crashes into Lake Argentina.

It was a mixed night for English clubs in the Europa League.

Tottenham lost 3-0 to German side Borussia Dortmund.

Goals from Daniel Sturridge and Roberto Firmino meant that

Liverpool beat Manchester United 2-0 in the first leg

of their last 16 tie.

Manager Jurgen Klopp was pleased with his team's performance.

Before the game, we knew it was only the first leg,

but we need to win it, and we did, so that is great.

Now, one week until the next game.

We know it is not easy, but we are in a good position now.

And we want to go to the next round.

And for this, we have to play again like

this at Manchester.

the massive online star.

She's been created by a Nigerian Muslim

blogger Haneefah Adam.

She told Newsround why it was important to her.

I thought that I have not really seen a doll dressed up in hijab

before, and I thought, why

not create a doll that can actually dress the way I dress?

And here we are.

That's all from me for now, I'll be back in about half an hour

with lots more.
