:00:18. > :00:22.Hello, you are watching Newsround, Joe and Ore taking you through to
:00:22. > :00:24.the weekend. That's right, we've got loads of stuff to tell you
:00:24. > :00:33.about on this Friday's show, including the 50 things everyone
:00:33. > :00:37.should try before they're 12. And the big cats making a comeback.
:00:37. > :00:41.First to a subject lots of you feel very strongly about, smoking. Today
:00:41. > :00:44.the Government has said it wants to change the way cigarettes look in
:00:44. > :00:47.England to try to discourage young people from taking up the habit.
:00:47. > :00:51.One in four children aged between 11 and 15 have tried smoking, even
:00:51. > :00:54.though it's against the law for anyone under 18. But the government
:00:54. > :01:02.thinks if cigarette packets looked less exciting, then it might put
:01:02. > :01:06.Smoking could be in for a big image change. No longer will it be flash,
:01:06. > :01:10.but boring and bland. That's if some of Britain's biggest health
:01:10. > :01:14.charities get their way. They're calling for a change in the image
:01:14. > :01:17.of smoking that will stop young people from trying it. According to
:01:17. > :01:20.government figures, more than 300,000 children under the age of
:01:20. > :01:23.16 try smoking every year, and it is hoped that by removing all the
:01:23. > :01:26.bright colours and snazzy designs from packets like these, that
:01:26. > :01:29.number will dramatically decrease. The government has already tried
:01:29. > :01:33.lots of ways of stopping young people from taking up smoking. It
:01:33. > :01:35.has raised the age you can buy cigarettes to 18, it has banned
:01:35. > :01:39.tobacco ads on TV, and it has stopped supermarkets from putting
:01:39. > :01:48.cigarettes on display. But many anti-smoking charities believe
:01:48. > :01:54.packaging needs to change, too. packaging is very attractive to
:01:55. > :02:04.young people, these ones look like Lego, very attractive colours. We
:02:05. > :02:05.
:02:05. > :02:08.need plain packaging to promote the marketing of brands. Australia is
:02:08. > :02:11.the only country that has so far agreed to plain packets. The
:02:11. > :02:14.government there has decided to scrap all branding and make packets
:02:14. > :02:17.an ugly dark olive green. But tobacco companies are against a ban
:02:17. > :02:19.here in the UK. One of the big firms, Imperial Tobacco, says,
:02:19. > :02:22."Tobacco packaging has never been identified as a reason why people
:02:22. > :02:25.start to smoke or continue to smoke." Next week the Government
:02:25. > :02:28.will start holding talks about whether the plan is a good idea. We
:02:28. > :02:31.won't know the results for a while, but whatever the outcome, smoking
:02:31. > :02:35.is an issue that refuses to be stubbed out.
:02:35. > :02:38.Now to a country that you don't hear about very often, Burma. Today
:02:38. > :02:41.Prime Minister David Cameron is making a historic visit to the
:02:41. > :02:46.country in Southeast Asia. Historic because he's the first British PM
:02:46. > :02:54.to go to the country ever. He's made the trip in support of the
:02:54. > :02:59.changes being made in a once very For many years, Burma was ruled by
:02:59. > :03:01.military dictatorships. Life for people living there was really hard.
:03:01. > :03:05.Many people were very poor, and foreign journalists weren't allowed
:03:05. > :03:09.in, so it was difficult to know exactly what was going on. Anyone
:03:09. > :03:14.who spoke out was imprisoned, but one woman who dared to make her
:03:14. > :03:17.voice heard was Aung San Suu Kyi. Aung San Suu Kyi's father wanted
:03:17. > :03:21.changed in Burma. He wanted to replace the military with a
:03:21. > :03:24.government that people had voted for. When he died, his daughter
:03:24. > :03:29.carried on the fight. But the leaders punished her for speaking
:03:29. > :03:32.out. For 15 years she was imprisoned in her own home. She
:03:32. > :03:36.wasn't allowed to see her sons or even visit her husband when he
:03:36. > :03:41.became ill. Thanks to her efforts, the rest of the world took notice
:03:41. > :03:44.of what was happening in Burma. Now a new government has taken over.
:03:44. > :03:51.She's been able to take part in elections for the first time, and
:03:52. > :03:55.today she met David Cameron, who The new government has started to
:03:55. > :03:58.open up the country. Some foreign journalists are now allowed in, and
:03:58. > :04:03.for the first time people have been able to access sites like Google on
:04:04. > :04:08.the internet. But life is still tough in Burma.
:04:08. > :04:12.TRANSLATION: Life is a struggle. We only eat if we can find a day's
:04:12. > :04:15.work. We try to save money to send the children to school, but if one
:04:15. > :04:18.of them gets ill, we need money to pay for a doctor.
:04:18. > :04:21.For many years, countries like the US and Britain have tried to
:04:21. > :04:24.encourage change in Burma by restricting what goods can be
:04:24. > :04:29.bought and sold. David Cameron has now said that because the situation
:04:29. > :04:33.in the country is improving, it's time to relax those rules. It looks
:04:33. > :04:36.like things are going in the right direction in Burma, but the rest of
:04:36. > :04:43.the world will be watching closely to see what happens next. Now, have
:04:43. > :04:47.you ever climbed a tree, caught a fish or been camping in the wild?
:04:47. > :04:54.They're just some of the 50 things people at the National Trust think
:04:54. > :04:57.you should have done by the time you turn 11 3/4. They've made a
:04:57. > :05:07.list of 50 activities they think kids should be trying out. So I've
:05:07. > :05:11.been give a few of them a go. Can't wait for this! Things to do before
:05:11. > :05:18.you are 11 and three quarters, some of them obvious, number one, climb
:05:18. > :05:23.a tree. Number 41, eat something grown in the wild. 18, balance on a
:05:23. > :05:27.fallen branch. I am a little bit older than 11 3/4, but there are
:05:27. > :05:32.quite a few activities I have not tried, so I have come here near
:05:32. > :05:37.Preston to start taking things off. Mark from the National Trust is on
:05:37. > :05:41.hand to teach the skies have to do number five, Erskine May's don't.
:05:41. > :05:45.What is it about skimming that it has got it on the list? It is an
:05:45. > :05:49.activity that anyone can join in with, it is free, you can do it in
:05:49. > :05:53.most places where you have got still water. Another thing on the
:05:53. > :05:58.list is bug hunting, something I never really did as a kid. It
:05:58. > :06:03.doesn't take us long to unearth some creepy-crawlies. Build a den,
:06:03. > :06:07.that is easy, you are doing good work, keep it up! The National
:06:07. > :06:12.Trust have published this list to get more kids outdoors. According
:06:12. > :06:17.to a survey last year, one-third of kids have never climbed a tree. You
:06:17. > :06:22.are 10, you have got a lot left on the list. Yes. While is it
:06:22. > :06:27.important to do them before you are 12? They stick in your mind, and
:06:28. > :06:33.you will have memories of childhood. Is the list a good idea? Yes, it is
:06:33. > :06:38.a very good idea. It lets people do stuff that they have never come
:06:38. > :06:41.round to realise. The National Trust are opening up a lot of
:06:41. > :06:46.woodland and estates next weekend for free so you can start ticking
:06:46. > :06:56.off activities. This one you can do anywhere, number 25, make a grass
:06:56. > :06:58.
:06:58. > :07:02.You did not quite hit the right note! Harder than it looks. I don't
:07:02. > :07:06.want to blow my own trumpet, but when the camera wasn't rolling,
:07:06. > :07:09.seriously, I was playing all sorts of dunes. Finally, good news for
:07:10. > :07:13.the world's most endangered cat. Back in 2005, the numbers of the
:07:13. > :07:16.Iberian lynx had fallen to just 150. The cats live in Spain and Portugal,
:07:16. > :07:19.and a plan to improve their numbers is having some success. These cats
