live with Newsround and me, Nel. Coming up? Why the sky will be full | :00:32. | :00:36. | |
of shooting stars tonight. And, a sneak peek into the weird | :00:36. | :00:41. | |
world of Jedward. This is Newsround. First up, calling all stargazers - | :00:41. | :00:49. | |
meteor shower tonight! The Perseids happen every August when the Earth | :00:49. | :00:55. | |
passes through a trail of debris left by a comet. And sorry, parents, | :00:55. | :01:01. | |
the later you guys stay up, the clearer it'll be. I've been chatting | :01:01. | :01:07. | |
to an extragalactic astronomer to get some top tips on how to catch | :01:07. | :01:15. | |
some shooting stars! There is an event happening tonight. We will be | :01:15. | :01:23. | |
experiencing their Perseids meteor shower. The comet leaves some debris | :01:23. | :01:33. | |
behind and as we go through the debris trail of dust particles burn | :01:33. | :01:37. | |
up in the atmosphere and give us bright light. Will I need a | :01:37. | :01:45. | |
telescope? No, the best instrument to use all your eyes. Lie on the | :01:45. | :01:55. | |
:01:55. | :01:56. | ||
grass or sit on a chair and looked up at the sky and you should see | :01:56. | :02:01. | |
many. What is happening in the sky? the comet, we're smashing through | :02:01. | :02:06. | |
the dust particles. As these particles burn up through the | :02:06. | :02:13. | |
atmosphere, they are coming at 140,000 miles an hour. So one of | :02:13. | :02:18. | |
these little particles, the devastation that that could cause is | :02:18. | :02:25. | |
the equivalent of a 40 tonne juggernaut. But we have the Earth 's | :02:25. | :02:29. | |
atmosphere so we are not in danger. To Northern Ireland now where police | :02:29. | :02:33. | |
are hoping there won't be a repeat of Friday night's violence later | :02:33. | :02:37. | |
today. They've called for calm ahead of a Republican march taking place | :02:37. | :02:42. | |
in County Tyrone. On Friday, more than 50 police officers were hurt in | :02:42. | :02:46. | |
disturbances in Belfast during a Republican march. Loyalists want | :02:46. | :02:50. | |
Northern Ireland to remain part of the UK. Republicans want the country | :02:50. | :02:54. | |
to belong to the Republic of Ireland. It was the latest in a | :02:54. | :02:57. | |
series of violent clashes on the streets of Belfast. | :02:57. | :03:01. | |
Next - a charity which provides emergency food supplies to British | :03:01. | :03:05. | |
families says it's been snowed under with requests for emergency meals | :03:05. | :03:10. | |
since the start of the summer break. The Trussell Trust says it's their | :03:10. | :03:16. | |
busiest summer ever as people struggle to feed their families and | :03:16. | :03:23. | |
some of their branches have seen requests for food double. This is | :03:23. | :03:29. | |
about children who are facing a summer holiday with worry and | :03:29. | :03:33. | |
anxiety in the home. There are children going hungry and they are | :03:33. | :03:38. | |
concerned about where the next meal will come from. Food banks are doing | :03:38. | :03:42. | |
their best to put services in place. Now, after Mo Farah's magnificent | :03:42. | :03:46. | |
win at the World Athletics Championships in Moscow yesterday, | :03:46. | :03:53. | |
all eyes will be on another A-list continues in his mission to win the | :03:53. | :03:57. | |
100 metres as the semifinals take place this afternoon. He made it | :03:57. | :04:01. | |
look very easy yesterday, breezing through the heats. We'll have to | :04:01. | :04:07. | |
wait until the end of the week to see if the Mo-bot himself can break | :04:07. | :04:11. | |
yet another record. If he wins the 5,000 metres on Friday, he'll become | :04:11. | :04:16. | |
only the second athlete in history to win double gold medals at | :04:16. | :04:17. | |
consecutive Olympic and World Championships. | :04:17. | :04:22. | |
Now, ever since they were booted off the X Factor four years ago Jedward | :04:22. | :04:28. | |
have been on a mission to take over the planet - and to be fair they're | :04:28. | :04:32. | |
not doing a bad job. They've been giving Newsround a sneak peek into | :04:32. | :04:38. | |
their weird and wonderful world. Together we are Jedward. The biggest | :04:38. | :04:47. | |
news is that John and Edward now have a flat here. Just today we have | :04:47. | :04:56. | |
flat here because we have just had a shower. Since last time we have got | :04:56. | :05:06. | |
:05:06. | :05:11. | ||
a blind new dog -- a brand-new job -- a brand-new dog. We also met a | :05:11. | :05:21. | |
:05:21. | :05:26. | ||
call I love beer. -- we also got a koala. Once you play a guitar once | :05:26. | :05:34. |
