:00:00. > :00:00.Hello, I'm Hayley with all the latest

:00:07. > :00:10.from around the world this morning, coming up in the next few minutes.

:00:11. > :00:13.The Dino-dynamic beast that lives on both sea and land.

:00:14. > :00:25.And the cute lions cubs make their first public appearance.

:00:26. > :00:28.Let's start with the very latest stop on Newsround's

:00:29. > :00:33.It's just six days until people there vote on whether the country

:00:34. > :00:36.should become independent from the rest of the UK.

:00:37. > :00:38.Ayshah has been there getting a sense of the mood,

:00:39. > :00:58.Hello, Hayley. Well, everyone in Scotland is talking about the future

:00:59. > :01:02.of their country, none more so than yesterday, when thousands of

:01:03. > :01:05.teenagers came to Glasgow to talk about some of the big questions that

:01:06. > :01:12.they had about Scottish independence. I spoke to people who

:01:13. > :01:16.wanted Scotland to be independent, as well as those who wanted it to

:01:17. > :01:24.remain part of the UK. The debate was a big deal, and all eyes were on

:01:25. > :01:28.some of the youngest voters. A quick selfie on a very long

:01:29. > :01:34.journey. These guys are travelling almost 200 miles to Glasgow. They,

:01:35. > :01:37.along with more than 7000 other teenagers, are taking part in a

:01:38. > :01:41.massive debate on the future of Scotland. The big question - whether

:01:42. > :01:46.Scotland should go independent or stay part of the UK. I think it will

:01:47. > :01:50.be a good experience, finding out what the country would be like if it

:01:51. > :01:57.went independent. I am currently undecided. I am pretty sure I will

:01:58. > :02:00.vote yes, but I can still change. This is where everyone is gathered,

:02:01. > :02:09.this massive arena in the city centre. Where are you from?

:02:10. > :02:14.Aberdeen. It took us three hours on the bus. This debate is a big deal

:02:15. > :02:18.for these 16-year-olds and 17-year-olds, who will be getting to

:02:19. > :02:30.vote for the first time. There is a bit of a party atmosphere. What are

:02:31. > :02:35.you voting? Yes. Why? I just think that we are able to cope and I do

:02:36. > :02:42.not see why we should stay somewhere where we are not happy. What about

:02:43. > :02:52.you? Definitely no. Because I just do not think it will work out. I am

:02:53. > :02:57.thinking, I am undecided. You can see how many kids are here. There

:02:58. > :03:04.are thousands. The last ones are piling in, taking their seats. Soon,

:03:05. > :03:09.it is down to the serious stuff. How would independence affect job

:03:10. > :03:12.opportunities? Why risk everything? It is not whether we should be

:03:13. > :03:17.risking it, it is whether we should settle for that. We will have

:03:18. > :03:23.challenges as a country, but we will have control of our own resources.

:03:24. > :03:25.We have huge control over health, education and everything, but we

:03:26. > :03:31.stand together with other people, too. So, did the debate to change

:03:32. > :03:38.anyone's mind? I am staying with yes. I am still a no vote. I was

:03:39. > :03:44.undecided but now I will be voting yes. I feel we would be better off

:03:45. > :03:48.by ourselves. The no dancers were much better thought out, so it made

:03:49. > :03:55.me more confident in my choice. I am sticking with no. I am still voting

:03:56. > :03:59.yes. Will you still be friends after this? I hope so! I think there will

:04:00. > :04:06.be some tension but we will work it out. Well, I hope they will still be

:04:07. > :04:09.friends, but there are a lot of tense conversations going on at the

:04:10. > :04:17.moment. Newsround will be on the road next week, visiting Stirling,

:04:18. > :04:22.Edinburgh and Aberdeen. Also, the big day is getting closer to it is

:04:23. > :04:24.next Thursday, 18th of September, and we will have all of the latest.

:04:25. > :04:26.Make sure you do not miss it. Next to South Africa, where

:04:27. > :04:29.in the next few hours, one of the world's most famous athletes will

:04:30. > :04:32.find out if he's going to jail. Millions of people around

:04:33. > :04:34.the world have been watching the He was accused

:04:35. > :04:39.of murdering his girlfriend, Reeva Steenkamp, in February last

:04:40. > :04:42.year but yesterday the judge decided The trial is not over though,

:04:43. > :04:49.because he could still be found guilty of doing it

:04:50. > :04:51.by accident today. And if that happens, he could

:04:52. > :04:54.go to prison for a long time. And remember, there's help

:04:55. > :04:57.and advice on the Newsround website In other news - scientists say

:04:58. > :05:04.a giant fossil found in the Sahara desert in Africa confirms that some

:05:05. > :05:06.dinosaurs could swim. The 95 million-year-old skeleton

:05:07. > :05:09.belonged to a dinosaur called Spinosaurus and scientists studying

:05:10. > :05:13.the ancient fossil believe it would have been happier splashing around

:05:14. > :05:16.in water than walking on land. Other ancient creatures did live

:05:17. > :05:21.in the water, but they were marine That makes Spinosaurus the

:05:22. > :05:30.only-known semi-aquatic dinosaur. Finally, the cutest little lion
