Hey there. | 0:00:05 | 0:00:05 | |
It's Martin with your Friday afternoon Newsround update. | 0:00:05 | 0:00:07 | |
Here's what's coming your way. | 0:00:07 | 0:00:10 | |
Meet Hijarbie, the new online star. | 0:00:10 | 0:00:11 | |
And Newcastle United have got a new manager. | 0:00:11 | 0:00:17 | |
It's five years since Japan was hit by one of the most | 0:00:25 | 0:00:26 | |
powerful earthquakes ever. | 0:00:28 | 0:00:30 | |
It caused a giant wave out at sea, called a tsunami, which grew | 0:00:30 | 0:00:33 | |
to ten metres high. | 0:00:33 | 0:00:35 | |
Half an hour after the quake, the tsunami hit the north-east coast | 0:00:35 | 0:00:38 | |
of the country, destroying everything in its path. | 0:00:38 | 0:00:47 | |
Today, people have been paying tribute to those | 0:00:47 | 0:00:49 | |
who lost their lives with a minute's silence at the time | 0:00:49 | 0:00:51 | |
of the earthquake. | 0:00:51 | 0:00:52 | |
Clearing up and rebuilding has been a big task and children living | 0:00:52 | 0:00:55 | |
there are given special classes so they know what to do | 0:00:55 | 0:00:58 | |
if another earthquake hits. | 0:00:58 | 0:01:01 | |
Leah travelled to Ishinomaki Elementary School to take part | 0:01:01 | 0:01:04 | |
in a safety class. | 0:01:04 | 0:01:12 | |
Schoolkids across Japan learn how to be prepared in case anything | 0:01:12 | 0:01:15 | |
like this happens again. | 0:01:15 | 0:01:17 | |
These kids have regular lessons in staying safe | 0:01:17 | 0:01:19 | |
if there's an earthquake. | 0:01:19 | 0:01:22 | |
It was playtime here at this playground, and the children have | 0:01:22 | 0:01:24 | |
just heard an announcement made on the tannoy, and it's been | 0:01:24 | 0:01:29 | |
reinforced by the teachers here that an earthquake is about to happen. | 0:01:29 | 0:01:33 | |
The idea is that everyone stays calm, collected and safe. | 0:01:33 | 0:01:41 | |
TRANSLATION: We all went through the actual disaster | 0:01:41 | 0:01:43 | |
and learned how scary it could be so it's important to have drills | 0:01:43 | 0:01:46 | |
like this one. | 0:01:46 | 0:01:48 | |
Of course, if I'm to face a real one, I'm sure I'll be nervous. | 0:01:48 | 0:01:52 | |
But going through a drill like this is very important. | 0:01:52 | 0:02:00 | |
Head online to watch Leah's special report from Japan to find out | 0:02:02 | 0:02:05 | |
exactly what happened five years ago today. | 0:02:05 | 0:02:09 | |
Storms have caused big problems in some of the southern | 0:02:09 | 0:02:12 | |
states of America. | 0:02:12 | 0:02:13 | |
In Texas, farms and houses were flooded because of | 0:02:13 | 0:02:15 | |
the heavy rainfall. | 0:02:15 | 0:02:17 | |
Volunteers had to work quickly to rescue horses and other animals | 0:02:17 | 0:02:20 | |
that became trapped by the flood waters. | 0:02:20 | 0:02:22 | |
More than 30 centimetres of rain fell over a day and a half | 0:02:22 | 0:02:25 | |
in the state. | 0:02:25 | 0:02:29 | |
To football now, and Newcastle United have got a new manager. | 0:02:29 | 0:02:32 | |
Former Real Madrid manager Rafa Benitez has been named | 0:02:32 | 0:02:34 | |
as the replacement to Steve McClaren, who was | 0:02:34 | 0:02:36 | |
sacked earlier today. | 0:02:36 | 0:02:39 | |
In a statement, the club thanked Steve for his work, | 0:02:39 | 0:02:41 | |
saying that a change was needed to give the club the best chance | 0:02:41 | 0:02:44 | |
of staying in the Premier League. | 0:02:44 | 0:02:46 | |
There are just ten games to go until the end of the season. | 0:02:46 | 0:02:51 | |
A Barbie wearing a headscarf, called a hijab, has become | 0:02:51 | 0:02:53 | |
a massive star online. | 0:02:53 | 0:02:56 | |
A Nigerian Muslim blogger, Haneefah Adam, started posting | 0:02:56 | 0:03:00 | |
photos of Hijarbie three months ago. | 0:03:00 | 0:03:03 | |
And she sent Newsround this report about why creating the doll's | 0:03:03 | 0:03:05 | |
clothes is important to her. | 0:03:05 | 0:03:09 | |
My name is Haneefa Adam, I'm a 24-year-old Nigerian | 0:03:09 | 0:03:13 | |
and a medical scientist. | 0:03:13 | 0:03:15 | |
I'm currently the brain behind Hijarbie. | 0:03:15 | 0:03:20 | |
I thought that I've not really seen a doll that was just dressed up | 0:03:20 | 0:03:24 | |
in a hijab before. | 0:03:24 | 0:03:27 | |
And I thought, why not create a doll that can actually dress the way | 0:03:27 | 0:03:31 | |
I dress. | 0:03:31 | 0:03:34 | |
And here we are. | 0:03:34 | 0:03:36 | |
It takes me about two to three hours to sew and dress her up, | 0:03:36 | 0:03:41 | |
while I style a hijab. | 0:03:41 | 0:03:45 | |
It's actually a really nice process I enjoy doing. | 0:03:45 | 0:03:49 | |
It is actually quite important to me because I am a creative person. | 0:03:49 | 0:03:53 | |
I love creating stuff. | 0:03:53 | 0:03:55 | |
It's also important because a lot of Muslim girls can relate | 0:03:55 | 0:03:58 | |
to the page because Hijarbie dresses like they dress. | 0:03:58 | 0:04:02 | |
I hope to inspire a lot of girls out there. | 0:04:02 | 0:04:06 | |
I hope to put the hijab wearing girl in a more positive light. | 0:04:06 | 0:04:11 | |
I also hope to create a more inclusive community where people can | 0:04:11 | 0:04:15 | |
actually be inspired by outfits and see how Islam can | 0:04:15 | 0:04:18 | |
actually be beautiful. | 0:04:18 | 0:04:25 | |
Tourists in South America were treated to an amazing natural | 0:04:25 | 0:04:27 | |
sight when giant chunks of the ice arch of the Perito Moreno glacier | 0:04:27 | 0:04:31 | |
broke off in front of them in southern Argentina. | 0:04:31 | 0:04:35 | |
The glacier measures about 70 metres in height. | 0:04:35 | 0:04:38 | |
Every so often ice breaks off and crashes into Lake Argentina. | 0:04:38 | 0:04:44 | |
That's all from me. | 0:04:44 | 0:04:47 | |
Newsround's back tomorrow morning at 8.55am. | 0:04:47 | 0:04:49 | |
Do go online to try our brand new quiz of the week. | 0:04:49 | 0:04:52 | |
Have a great evening. | 0:04:52 | 0:04:54 |
