Afternoon everyone, it's Ayshah here with Newsround

:00:00.:00:00.

Keep watching, we've got lots coming up.

:00:00.:00:10.

We're counting down to Tim Peake's blast off

:00:11.:00:12.

Michelle Obama shows off her rap skills.

:00:13.:00:27.

Imagine living somewhere that could be completely underwater

:00:28.:00:29.

This is what might happen to kids living on the island of Kiribati,

:00:30.:00:33.

Right now, world leaders are meeting in Paris to discuss what countries

:00:34.:00:37.

can do to limit the effects of climate change.

:00:38.:00:41.

Kiribati is a nation of about 105,000 people,

:00:42.:00:47.

that sits, surrounded by water, halfway between Hawaii and

:00:48.:00:50.

It may happen that, in a few years' time,

:00:51.:00:59.

Climate change is something all the children learn

:01:00.:01:02.

The land there only goes about six metres above sea level,

:01:03.:01:05.

that's just a little higher than a double decker bus.

:01:06.:01:08.

But scientists think that it could be among the first places

:01:09.:01:10.

in the world to be affected by rising sea levels,

:01:11.:01:13.

as the planet heats up and melts ice in places like Antarctica.

:01:14.:01:16.

It's a complicated issue but people living on Kiribati believe

:01:17.:01:18.

that the water is already rising here due to climate change.

:01:19.:01:21.

If it's high tide, the water comes up to our house.

:01:22.:01:28.

With my brothers and sisters, I mop up the water and we clean the porch.

:01:29.:01:35.

It gets a dirty colour and it tastes salty and dirty."

:01:36.:01:46.

TRANSLATED: As you can see, we lifted our belongings,

:01:47.:01:49.

and the cupboard, the table and our pots, to a safe height.

:01:50.:01:53.

It's one of the things world leaders are hoping to tackle

:01:54.:01:55.

at the Climate Change Conference in Paris at the moment.

:01:56.:01:58.

They're setting goals about how much they want try to limit the planet

:01:59.:02:01.

But for people in Kiribati, it's a worrying time.

:02:02.:02:04.

If the sea continues to rise, we will go away.

:02:05.:02:09.

But the problem is that we don't have another place to live.

:02:10.:02:13.

I will feel like nobody because Kiribati defines me

:02:14.:02:17.

And if my country disappears, who am I then?

:02:18.:02:27.

Next week, history will be made when British astronaut,

:02:28.:02:29.

Tim Peake, heads off into space, on Tuesday.

:02:30.:02:32.

He's got just four days to go, so we're counting down with some top

:02:33.:02:36.

facts about the UK's number one spaceman.

:02:37.:02:39.

And we'll have another fact for you tomorrow.

:02:40.:02:59.

Tim Peake will be blasting off from Kazakhstan,

:03:00.:03:01.

The weather can play a big part in making sure that launch

:03:02.:03:05.

So we asked the BBC's weatherman, Simon King, to tell us

:03:06.:03:13.

Sometimes, in the UK, our aircraft can be grounded because of the

:03:14.:03:29.

weather. What about space rockets? In Kazakhstan, it can get very cold

:03:30.:03:34.

in the winter time. It will be rather windy. However, on Tuesday,

:03:35.:03:44.

it would like it will be dry and mild. Temperatures would get quite

:03:45.:03:49.

high above freezing at 0 Celsius. Man-mac himself as message is one of

:03:50.:03:58.

my friends on social media to say that he is feeling fine about it.

:03:59.:04:02.

The well should not play any part in team he takes off safely.

:04:03.:04:11.

Check out the Newsround website to find out what Tim Peake is doing

:04:12.:04:14.

So for Tim to start his mission, some of the astronauts on board

:04:15.:04:18.

the International Space Station, have had to come home.

:04:19.:04:20.

Three crew members have returned to earth today -

:04:21.:04:22.

travelling back in the Soyuz spacecraft.

:04:23.:04:24.

The whole journey only takes three and a half hours.

:04:25.:04:26.

Michelle Obama is not only married to the President,

:04:27.:04:28.

We've seen her giving great speeches, dancing

:04:29.:04:31.

It's all to encourage young people to stay in education

:04:32.:04:34.

That's all from me, Newsround's back tomorrow with Leah at 8:55.
