Ore here live just after 5.00pm. It's Friday, and this is Newsround	:00:21.	:00:27.
taking you through to the weekend. Coming up on today's show:	:00:27.	:00:34.
Too cute to ever let go? Apparently not. We find out why more and more	:00:34.	:00:38.
pets are being abandoned. And will John Terry captain England	:00:38.	:00:41.
in tomorrow's friendly? First, the 11th hour of the 11th	:00:41.	:00:45.
day of the 11th month - at 11.00am, all across the UK, at schools,	:00:45.	:00:48.
stations and shops, there was silence. People stopped talking for	:00:48.	:00:51.
two minutes to remember those who've fought and died for this	:00:51.	:00:56.
country. We call it Remembrance or Armistice Day. Ricky's got the	:00:56.	:01:06.
	:01:06.	:01:35.
Let's see what these kids at the Imperial War Museum think.	:01:35.	:01:41.
It really brought home the human cost of wars. I makes me feel	:01:41.	:01:46.
really sad. It gives me an idea of what went on and also makes me	:01:46.	:01:50.
think of modern day affairs. With the recent fighting in Afghanistan,	:01:50.	:01:53.
war is often in the news. The museum is helping visitors	:01:53.	:01:56.
understand the importance of Armistice Day. They have been	:01:56.	:02:00.
coming in here chattering away. It starts. They go really quiet, and	:02:00.	:02:08.
at the end of it, seem to be really moved by it. Remembering the	:02:08.	:02:18.
sacrifices they made helps us remember the soldiers and their	:02:18.	:02:24.
families. Steve was in the first Gulf War. The support the families	:02:24.	:02:30.
gave to the armed forces - think about the wives, the kids - when	:02:30.	:02:35.
these people made the ultimate sacrifice. Armistice Day gives us	:02:35.	:02:40.
an opportunity to remember the impact war had on our lives.	:02:40.	:02:45.
War can have an effect on all of us. Armistice Day is a way of showing	:02:45.	:02:48.
respect while remembering all of those who have been lost.	:02:48.	:02:51.
The word "armistice" means to stop fighting, and 93 years ago today,	:02:51.	:03:01.
	:03:01.	:03:12.
World War I ended. Millions of people across the country took time	:03:12.	:03:22.
	:03:22.	:03:33.
Then after the silence, there was more time to think about the day.	:03:33.	:03:37.
You learn about the importance of the poppy and why we should	:03:37.	:03:41.
remember about the people in the war. It makes you really think back	:03:41.	:03:48.
to what life was like in those days, really quite frightened for them	:03:48.	:03:51.
people. And if you want to know more about	:03:51.	:03:54.
Remembrance Day, why people wear poppies, or even try out our	:03:54.	:03:57.
Remembrance Day quiz, then head over to the Newsround website, all	:03:57.	:03:59.
you need to know. Moving on, and John Terry won't	:03:59.	:04:08.
captain England for tomorrow's friendly against Spain. He's being	:04:08.	:04:11.
investigated by police over claims he made a racist comment to another	:04:11.	:04:13.
player, Anton Ferdinand, during a game last month. Frank Lampard will	:04:13.	:04:16.
wear the captain's armband instead. England boss Fabio Capello is	:04:16.	:04:24.
standing by Terry for the moment. He will play against Sweden, but	:04:24.	:04:31.
tomorrow will be on the bench. For me, he's innocent until found	:04:31.	:04:33.
guilty. REPORTER: He's innocent until	:04:33.	:04:41.
proven guilty? Yes, absolutely. looks like all that mucking around	:04:41.	:04:44.
in New Zealand during the rugby World Cup was more serious than	:04:44.	:04:46.
Mike Tindall thought. The player's been kicked off England's elite	:04:46.	:04:51.
squad for his behaviour off the field. It pretty much means his	:04:51.	:04:54.
England career is effectively over, because he'll miss next year's Six	:04:54.	:04:57.
Nations tournament and the summer tour. He's also been fined �25,000.	:04:57.	:05:00.
We know you love your pets, and you probably can't imagine having to	:05:00.	:05:07.
give them away. But the number of cats and dogs being abandoned in	:05:07.	:05:10.
the UK has risen.a lot. Animal charities say some people are so	:05:10.	:05:13.
worried about money at the moment, they just can't afford to look	:05:13.	:05:16.
after them. One rescue centre's which has welcomed even more furry	:05:16.	:05:26.
	:05:26.	:05:30.
friends this year is Battersea Dogs and Cats Home in London.	:05:30.	:05:34.
Over the past 150 years Battersea Dogs and Cats Home has had its	:05:34.	:05:39.
doors open to abandoned or stray animals, but over the past year,	:05:39.	:05:43.
more and more people are coming in because they can't afford to look	:05:43.	:05:49.
after their pets. In the last month, 65 dog and cat owners contacted the	:05:49.	:05:55.
home because of housing or money problems, but in most cases, giving	:05:55.	:06:01.
up an animal isn't a a easy choice to make. It's a very difficult they	:06:01.	:06:08.
have to come to. That pet is a valued part of their family, and it	:06:08.	:06:12.
is a difficult decision. We do our best to help them and ultimately	:06:12.	:06:16.
help their pets that are in need. Some pet owners say it's things	:06:16.	:06:19.
like rising vet bills or losing their jobs or homes that make it	:06:19.	:06:25.
difficult to keep their pets. This is Sam. He's eight to nine	:06:25.	:06:29.
years old. He was brought here three weeks ago when his family	:06:29.	:06:32.
moved home, and they couldn't afford to take him with them, but	:06:32.	:06:39.
luckily, he has been rehomed. This is just one animal home. It's	:06:40.	:06:45.
takingen calls for from lots of people this year. With Christmas	:06:45.	:06:51.
approaching, people are urging people to think carefully before	:06:51.	:06:58.
having a pet. It's a very difficult time for so many pets and their	:06:58.	:07:08.
	:07:08.	:07:10.
owners. Artem from Strictly Come Dasing has	:07:10.	:07:19.
