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
