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. |
