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. | |
