Good afternoon. You're watching Newsround. What a treat we have for

:00:25.:00:29.

you. The boys are back in your town. Correct. We've got a show packed

:00:30.:00:38.

with everything you need to know. The miners rescued after almost a

:00:38.:00:42.

weekend underground. Find out why Hayley's been going through bins in

:00:42.:00:48.

Cambridge. First, one of the most secretive countries in the world.

:00:48.:00:51.

North Korea in ease Asia. country's hit the headlines for

:00:51.:00:55.

plans to launch a rocket into space. The leaders say it's to get a

:00:55.:00:59.

satellite up there, but others think that they are testing a

:00:59.:01:03.

missile. The rocket's being fielded today and it's got the neighbours

:01:03.:01:08.

very worried. It's really difficult to know what's going on inside

:01:08.:01:12.

North Korea. The BBC's been let in for the launch, but it's rare for

:01:12.:01:16.

foreign journalists to be allowed to report and what they can see is

:01:16.:01:20.

very strictly controlled. North and south Korea were divided after the

:01:20.:01:24.

Second World War, but it was the war between the two that shaped the

:01:24.:01:28.

way we see the countries today. It happened in the early 1950s. The

:01:28.:01:31.

north was supported by China, and the south by the US and Great

:01:31.:01:41.
:01:41.:01:45.

Britain, who wanted to stop the spread of commune nix. -- come nix.

:01:45.:01:49.

Day-to-day life can look pretty weird from the outside. The

:01:49.:01:53.

military play a big role in the running of the country and there

:01:53.:01:57.

are a lot of marches, where everyone moves completely in unison.

:01:57.:02:01.

People have to ask permission to travel around and things like TV

:02:01.:02:03.

and what people can see on the internet are controlled by the

:02:03.:02:09.

Government. All the parades are meant to make the country look

:02:09.:02:12.

strong, but it's one of the poorest countries in the world and relies

:02:12.:02:17.

on food aid from the UN. The country's been run by the same

:02:17.:02:22.

family since the creation. They all tried to get Korean people to

:02:22.:02:27.

worship them, even though most people have hard lives. Kim Jong Un

:02:27.:02:35.

took over from his father Kim Jong- Il. He was the son of Kim Il Sung

:02:35.:02:41.

who was name the Great Leader. This is to mark 100 years since his

:02:41.:02:44.

birth. It should be launched in the next couple of days. Whatever

:02:44.:02:50.

anyone else thinks, that is. Warnings of a massive tsunami in

:02:50.:02:56.

Indonesia had been called off. People had been escaping after two

:02:56.:03:02.

earthquakes in the Indian Ocean. earthquake caused a giant wave that

:03:02.:03:08.

killed around 250,000 people. might remember the pictures of a

:03:08.:03:12.

burning furniture store in London last summer. A man has been

:03:12.:03:17.

punished for causing the blaze that sent it up in smoke. Gordon

:03:17.:03:23.

Thompson has been sent to prison for eleven-and-a-half years.

:03:23.:03:27.

nine miners in Peru are breathing a huge sigh of relief. They've been

:03:27.:03:30.

rescued after a week underground. The accident has highlighted the

:03:30.:03:35.

risks involved in mining and I've been finding out why people do it.

:03:35.:03:39.

One by one, they emerged out of the ground. Some needed help, but most

:03:39.:03:45.

were able to walk away from their ordeal, all with sun glances on to

:03:45.:03:49.

protect their eyes from the daylight. They were in complete

:03:49.:03:56.

darkness for six days after an explosion blocked their exit. They

:03:56.:04:00.

were sent food and water and were able to talk through a special

:04:00.:04:03.

hosepipe. This mine was abandoned 20 years ago, but the search of

:04:03.:04:06.

gold took the men down there without permission. They put their

:04:06.:04:12.

lives at risk in search of money and it's a story that's been

:04:12.:04:15.

repeated many times. It's big business. Here in William Hague

:04:15.:04:22.

field in the north of England, an old coal mine has turning into a

:04:22.:04:26.

museum. 400 staff used to be employed to unearth �100,000 worth

:04:26.:04:30.

of coal every week. Because of our mining heritage, news of trapped

:04:30.:04:34.

miners always makes the headlines in Britain. Two years ago, the

:04:34.:04:44.
:04:44.:04:46.

country was glued to TVs as we watched ten miners in Chile were

:04:46.:04:50.

pulled to safety. Last year four miners died in Wales. Andy Smith

:04:50.:04:55.

helps run the museum, but he used to be a mine her himself. Why do

:04:55.:05:01.

people still mine? The mine was due to finances. Underground reserves

:05:01.:05:06.

of gold, silver, pottash, all minerals, everything that can make

:05:06.:05:11.

money and provide jobs and I think due to lack of jobs, especially in

:05:11.:05:16.

this country and others, I think mining becomes a gut thing to go

:05:16.:05:20.

for. These men are very lucky to be rescued, but they shouldn't have

:05:20.:05:23.

been there in the first place, because their mine was set up

:05:23.:05:27.

without permission. There are calls to stop illegal mining to stop this

:05:27.:05:34.

from happening again. Moving on, JT and I are often accused of talking

:05:34.:05:39.

rubbish a lot. Occasionally. Now, we've got an excuse, because a new

:05:39.:05:45.

bin has been designed that can hold up to eight times as much as

:05:45.:05:49.

ordinary bins. It is powered by the sun. Hayley's got this one. Spring

:05:49.:05:53.

is here and summer is on its way. That means picnics and days spent

:05:53.:05:58.

outside. But it also means more rubbish. Sometimes your ordinary

:05:58.:06:05.

bin just can't cut it. This the new bin in town. The idea that it's

:06:05.:06:10.

much tidier and far less smelly. That's because it's a special

:06:10.:06:14.

mechanical bin, that come possesses rubbish that's put inside it. Your

:06:15.:06:24.
:06:25.:06:25.

average bin would old one binbag, but this holds way more. Watch this.

:06:25.:06:35.
:06:35.:06:36.

This bin actually holds up to eight full binbags. How does it all work?

:06:36.:06:39.

The daylight reaches the solar panel. The rubbish goes in like

:06:39.:06:44.

this. Inside, this crusher comes down and crushes it. The clever bit

:06:45.:06:48.

is still to come. Instead of a man collecting the rubbish every week,

:06:48.:06:53.

whether they need it or not, this clever thing records how full it is

:06:53.:07:00.

on a website. This is what the bin sent? Yeah. This is the council on

:07:00.:07:04.

the desk tops in the office and their maps and they are represented

:07:04.:07:09.

by dots. Green is fine, yellow is 85% full and red, pick me up.

:07:10.:07:13.

That's put the lid on that then. Now, there are 1,000 of these all

:07:13.:07:18.

over the UK, but it's hoped that very soon they'll be on every

:07:18.:07:24.

street and in every park near you. Finally, I'm not sure about you,

:07:24.:07:29.

but I hate it when my alarm goes off and wakes me up. You must

:07:29.:07:37.

really hate it? Are you saying I'm late? I am often. The good news is

:07:37.:07:41.

an American inventor has created an alarm that will get you out of bed,

:07:41.:07:45.

because this can only be turned off by entering a special code into a

:07:46.:07:49.

box in another room. No snooze button and if you unplug it a

:07:49.:07:53.
