:00:25. > :00:29.Good afternoon. You're watching Newsround. What a treat we have for

:00:30. > :00:38.you. The boys are back in your town. Correct. We've got a show packed

:00:38. > :00:42.with everything you need to know. The miners rescued after almost a

:00:42. > :00:48.weekend underground. Find out why Hayley's been going through bins in

:00:48. > :00:51.Cambridge. First, one of the most secretive countries in the world.

:00:51. > :00:55.North Korea in ease Asia. country's hit the headlines for

:00:55. > :00:59.plans to launch a rocket into space. The leaders say it's to get a

:00:59. > :01:03.satellite up there, but others think that they are testing a

:01:03. > :01:08.missile. The rocket's being fielded today and it's got the neighbours

:01:08. > :01:12.very worried. It's really difficult to know what's going on inside

:01:12. > :01:16.North Korea. The BBC's been let in for the launch, but it's rare for

:01:16. > :01:20.foreign journalists to be allowed to report and what they can see is

:01:20. > :01:24.very strictly controlled. North and south Korea were divided after the

:01:24. > :01:28.Second World War, but it was the war between the two that shaped the

:01:28. > :01:31.way we see the countries today. It happened in the early 1950s. The

:01:31. > :01:41.north was supported by China, and the south by the US and Great

:01:41. > :01:45.

:01:45. > :01:49.Britain, who wanted to stop the spread of commune nix. -- come nix.

:01:49. > :01:53.Day-to-day life can look pretty weird from the outside. The

:01:53. > :01:57.military play a big role in the running of the country and there

:01:57. > :02:01.are a lot of marches, where everyone moves completely in unison.

:02:01. > :02:03.People have to ask permission to travel around and things like TV

:02:03. > :02:09.and what people can see on the internet are controlled by the

:02:09. > :02:12.Government. All the parades are meant to make the country look

:02:12. > :02:17.strong, but it's one of the poorest countries in the world and relies

:02:17. > :02:22.on food aid from the UN. The country's been run by the same

:02:22. > :02:27.family since the creation. They all tried to get Korean people to

:02:27. > :02:35.worship them, even though most people have hard lives. Kim Jong Un

:02:35. > :02:41.took over from his father Kim Jong- Il. He was the son of Kim Il Sung

:02:41. > :02:44.who was name the Great Leader. This is to mark 100 years since his

:02:44. > :02:50.birth. It should be launched in the next couple of days. Whatever

:02:50. > :02:56.anyone else thinks, that is. Warnings of a massive tsunami in

:02:56. > :03:02.Indonesia had been called off. People had been escaping after two

:03:02. > :03:08.earthquakes in the Indian Ocean. earthquake caused a giant wave that

:03:08. > :03:12.killed around 250,000 people. might remember the pictures of a

:03:12. > :03:17.burning furniture store in London last summer. A man has been

:03:17. > :03:23.punished for causing the blaze that sent it up in smoke. Gordon

:03:23. > :03:27.Thompson has been sent to prison for eleven-and-a-half years.

:03:27. > :03:30.nine miners in Peru are breathing a huge sigh of relief. They've been

:03:30. > :03:35.rescued after a week underground. The accident has highlighted the

:03:35. > :03:39.risks involved in mining and I've been finding out why people do it.

:03:39. > :03:45.One by one, they emerged out of the ground. Some needed help, but most

:03:45. > :03:49.were able to walk away from their ordeal, all with sun glances on to

:03:49. > :03:56.protect their eyes from the daylight. They were in complete

:03:56. > :04:00.darkness for six days after an explosion blocked their exit. They

:04:00. > :04:03.were sent food and water and were able to talk through a special

:04:03. > :04:06.hosepipe. This mine was abandoned 20 years ago, but the search of

:04:06. > :04:12.gold took the men down there without permission. They put their

:04:12. > :04:15.lives at risk in search of money and it's a story that's been

:04:15. > :04:22.repeated many times. It's big business. Here in William Hague

:04:22. > :04:26.field in the north of England, an old coal mine has turning into a

:04:26. > :04:30.museum. 400 staff used to be employed to unearth �100,000 worth

:04:30. > :04:34.of coal every week. Because of our mining heritage, news of trapped

:04:34. > :04:44.miners always makes the headlines in Britain. Two years ago, the

:04:44. > :04:46.

:04:46. > :04:50.country was glued to TVs as we watched ten miners in Chile were

:04:50. > :04:55.pulled to safety. Last year four miners died in Wales. Andy Smith

:04:55. > :05:01.helps run the museum, but he used to be a mine her himself. Why do

:05:01. > :05:06.people still mine? The mine was due to finances. Underground reserves

:05:06. > :05:11.of gold, silver, pottash, all minerals, everything that can make

:05:11. > :05:16.money and provide jobs and I think due to lack of jobs, especially in

:05:16. > :05:20.this country and others, I think mining becomes a gut thing to go

:05:20. > :05:23.for. These men are very lucky to be rescued, but they shouldn't have

:05:23. > :05:27.been there in the first place, because their mine was set up

:05:27. > :05:34.without permission. There are calls to stop illegal mining to stop this

:05:34. > :05:39.from happening again. Moving on, JT and I are often accused of talking

:05:39. > :05:45.rubbish a lot. Occasionally. Now, we've got an excuse, because a new

:05:45. > :05:49.bin has been designed that can hold up to eight times as much as

:05:49. > :05:53.ordinary bins. It is powered by the sun. Hayley's got this one. Spring

:05:53. > :05:58.is here and summer is on its way. That means picnics and days spent

:05:58. > :06:05.outside. But it also means more rubbish. Sometimes your ordinary

:06:05. > :06:10.bin just can't cut it. This the new bin in town. The idea that it's

:06:10. > :06:14.much tidier and far less smelly. That's because it's a special

:06:15. > :06:24.mechanical bin, that come possesses rubbish that's put inside it. Your

:06:25. > :06:25.

:06:25. > :06:35.average bin would old one binbag, but this holds way more. Watch this.

:06:35. > :06:36.

:06:36. > :06:39.This bin actually holds up to eight full binbags. How does it all work?

:06:39. > :06:44.The daylight reaches the solar panel. The rubbish goes in like

:06:45. > :06:48.this. Inside, this crusher comes down and crushes it. The clever bit

:06:48. > :06:53.is still to come. Instead of a man collecting the rubbish every week,

:06:53. > :07:00.whether they need it or not, this clever thing records how full it is

:07:00. > :07:04.on a website. This is what the bin sent? Yeah. This is the council on

:07:04. > :07:09.the desk tops in the office and their maps and they are represented

:07:10. > :07:13.by dots. Green is fine, yellow is 85% full and red, pick me up.

:07:13. > :07:18.That's put the lid on that then. Now, there are 1,000 of these all

:07:18. > :07:24.over the UK, but it's hoped that very soon they'll be on every

:07:24. > :07:29.street and in every park near you. Finally, I'm not sure about you,

:07:29. > :07:37.but I hate it when my alarm goes off and wakes me up. You must

:07:37. > :07:41.really hate it? Are you saying I'm late? I am often. The good news is

:07:41. > :07:45.an American inventor has created an alarm that will get you out of bed,

:07:46. > :07:49.because this can only be turned off by entering a special code into a

:07:49. > :07:53.box in another room. No snooze button and if you unplug it a
