Hi, I'm Martin live with Newsround. On the way today: The new bike | :00:00. | :00:11. | |
helmet that is made using paper. And why Christmas has finally | :00:12. | :00:13. | |
arrived for space station astronauts. | :00:14. | :00:21. | |
First, Manchester United fans will be waking up happy this morning | :00:22. | :00:25. | |
after the team won 2-0 against Swansea yesterday. After three | :00:26. | :00:33. | |
defeats in a row, things were looking a bit worrying but goals | :00:34. | :00:36. | |
from Antonio Valencia and Danny Welbeck sealed the Reds' first | :00:37. | :00:39. | |
victory of the New Year. Elsewhere, Chelsea travelled to Hull | :00:40. | :00:42. | |
and won 2-0 whilst Sam Allardyce's struggling West Ham got a | :00:43. | :00:45. | |
much-needed win over Cardiff to get them out of the bottom three. | :00:46. | :00:55. | |
There are two Premier League games this afternoon. Newcastle against | :00:56. | :01:00. | |
Manchester City and Liverpool versus Stoke City. | :01:01. | :01:18. | |
Around 300,000 people been affected and many schools and businesses | :01:19. | :01:19. | |
closed after a chemical leaked my daughter is 13 and says she was | :01:20. | :01:34. | |
taking a shower regardless. I told her not to do that because when we | :01:35. | :01:39. | |
turned on our water today it smelt like cough syrup. Now, Christmas | :01:40. | :01:51. | |
might be a distant memory for you guys but not for astronauts at the | :01:52. | :01:54. | |
International Space Station who are just getting their presents now. | :01:55. | :01:58. | |
Gifts for the six astronauts, as well as food and equipment, were | :01:59. | :02:01. | |
sent by NASA on Thursday on the spacecraft Cygnus and they have | :02:02. | :02:05. | |
finally arrived. Next to China, and the big problem | :02:06. | :02:08. | |
facing its major cities. It's smog. Lots of people in China regularly | :02:09. | :02:12. | |
wear facemasks as recent estimates suggest that half a million people | :02:13. | :02:15. | |
die early every year because of conditions related to air pollution. | :02:16. | :02:18. | |
The Chinese government plan to spend ?180 billion on a massive clean-up. | :02:19. | :02:21. | |
Jenny's been looking into it. Imagine having to wear a face mask, | :02:22. | :02:24. | |
like this, just to go to school? It's part of daily life for many | :02:25. | :02:28. | |
children in China, like these twin girls from Beijing. The masks | :02:29. | :02:31. | |
protect them from the air they breathe in. There are good days in | :02:32. | :02:35. | |
China but take a look at one of the many bad ones. A thick grey smog, | :02:36. | :02:38. | |
containing gasses and particles linked to asthma and heart trouble, | :02:39. | :02:46. | |
covers the streets. You can't actually see some of the most | :02:47. | :02:48. | |
damaging pollution. It's called PM 2.5 and involves | :02:49. | :02:51. | |
particles that are microscopically small. This matters because the | :02:52. | :02:55. | |
particles are small enough, not just to get into the lungs, but also into | :02:56. | :02:58. | |
the bloodstream. This kind of pollution is measured by the cubic | :02:59. | :03:04. | |
metre of air. The World Health Organisation sets a maximum limit of | :03:05. | :03:11. | |
25 of these particles in this space. It says we shouldn't breathe more of | :03:12. | :03:18. | |
them within 24 hours. But a level of 200 is routinely reached in many | :03:19. | :03:28. | |
Chinese cities. The Government is trying to tackle | :03:29. | :03:31. | |
the problem by closing coal-burning power stations which are the biggest | :03:32. | :03:34. | |
source of pollution. They're also trying to limit traffic and | :03:35. | :03:37. | |
officials say they're confident they can clean up. But in some cases smog | :03:38. | :03:41. | |
has forced entire cities to close down. The International School of | :03:42. | :03:43. | |
Beijing have taken matters into their own hands by sealing off their | :03:44. | :03:46. | |
playground inside this massive inflatable dome, where the children | :03:47. | :03:49. | |
play breathing filtered air. The Chinese government is banking on | :03:50. | :03:52. | |
green technology for the future but pollution will be a reality there | :03:53. | :04:07. | |
for years to come. All cyclists are advised to wear | :04:08. | :04:10. | |
helmets when they get on their bike. Yours might look a little bit like | :04:11. | :04:15. | |
this. But now a new helmet has been designed and the inside of it is | :04:16. | :04:18. | |
made out of paper. Inventor Anirudha Surabhi studied woodpeckers when he | :04:19. | :04:22. | |
was trying to come up with a new design as their heads take a lot of | :04:23. | :04:25. | |
impact when it pecks. He noticed woodpeckers have a soft structure | :04:26. | :04:29. | |
between their beak and skull and he decided to recreate this within a | :04:30. | :04:31. | |
helmet using paper. That is one layer of honeycomb cells | :04:32. | :04:35. | |
and that is the second layer. You end up with tiny airbags. When you | :04:36. | :04:42. | |
crash they pop and go all the way to the bottom without cracking. | :04:43. | :04:46. | |
The Australian Open gets underway very late tonight, UK time. British | :04:47. | :04:50. | |
number one Andy Murray is hoping he can go all the way in the Grand Slam | :04:51. | :04:54. | |
after making a return following back surgery. Murray will play Go Soeda, | :04:55. | :04:58. | |
who is ranked outside the top 100, in the first round on Tuesday, and | :04:59. | :05:01. | |
defending champion Novak Djokovic says Murray could still be a threat. | :05:02. | :05:08. | |
I'm sure he had a big problem with his back and had the surgery but we | :05:09. | :05:12. | |
practised and played a little bit and he is striking the ball really | :05:13. | :05:21. | |
well. It will take a little bit of time to get into matchplay mode but | :05:22. | :05:27. | |
I'm sure he will be just fine. All today you've been telling us | :05:28. | :05:31. | |
what you think about the new series of The Voice which started last | :05:32. | :05:33. | |
night. Thanks for those comments, guys. | :05:34. | :05:58. | |
That's all from me. | :05:59. | :06:02. |
