Hi, I'm Martin, with all your news this Wednesday afternoon. | 0:00:03 | 0:00:07 | |
Coming up in the next few minutes: | 0:00:07 | 0:00:10 | |
Kids get hands on with creepy crawlies at an insect conference. | 0:00:10 | 0:00:14 | |
And that sinking feeling, the moment this road | 0:00:14 | 0:00:16 | |
in America collapsed. | 0:00:16 | 0:00:19 | |
First, more than 5,000 pupils in Ediburgh are still off school | 0:00:27 | 0:00:30 | |
because of worries that their school buildings are not safe. | 0:00:30 | 0:00:34 | |
The problem started in January when hundreds of bricks were blown | 0:00:34 | 0:00:37 | |
from a wall at a primary school during a storm. | 0:00:37 | 0:00:40 | |
That school reopened after a few days, but in March it was decided | 0:00:40 | 0:00:43 | |
that all the schools built by the same company would | 0:00:43 | 0:00:46 | |
have to be inspected. | 0:00:46 | 0:00:54 | |
Over 3,000 pupils are back in class, | 0:00:54 | 0:00:56 | |
but many more still don't have places to study. | 0:00:56 | 0:00:58 | |
The council says it hopes to have all pupils back | 0:00:58 | 0:01:00 | |
in lessons by next week. | 0:01:00 | 0:01:02 | |
We spoke to two girls affected. | 0:01:02 | 0:01:03 | |
It's sort of good, because we're missing | 0:01:03 | 0:01:05 | |
some of the bad subject, because we're missing | 0:01:05 | 0:01:08 | |
but it's also not too great, because we're missing like good | 0:01:08 | 0:01:11 | |
subjects like drama and stuff. | 0:01:11 | 0:01:12 | |
I'm quite happy about that, it's just an extra | 0:01:12 | 0:01:14 | |
Easter holiday. | 0:01:14 | 0:01:16 | |
It's easier for us to miss subjects than | 0:01:17 | 0:01:19 | |
fourth, fifth and six years, because they've got upcoming exams | 0:01:19 | 0:01:27 | |
and they are going to go on exam. | 0:01:27 | 0:01:29 | |
Believe it or not, without insects | 0:01:29 | 0:01:31 | |
there would be no life on earth. | 0:01:31 | 0:01:32 | |
So kids in Shropshire have been at a special | 0:01:32 | 0:01:34 | |
insect science conference today. | 0:01:34 | 0:01:35 | |
It's all about getting children up close with bugs so they can learn | 0:01:35 | 0:01:39 | |
more about the role insects can play in different aspects of science, | 0:01:39 | 0:01:43 | |
from pollinating plants to being the food for bigger animals. | 0:01:43 | 0:01:47 | |
Some of them are even being used for experiments, | 0:01:47 | 0:01:49 | |
by carrying sensors on their back. | 0:01:49 | 0:01:52 | |
It's a lot more interesting knowing, and getting to know the animals, | 0:01:52 | 0:01:57 | |
rather than a book. | 0:01:57 | 0:01:58 | |
It's a great opportunity to learn about the world | 0:01:58 | 0:02:01 | |
around you, and get the hands-on experience. | 0:02:01 | 0:02:04 | |
It's one of the busiest times of year for sheep farmers | 0:02:04 | 0:02:08 | |
when thousands of lambs are born. | 0:02:08 | 0:02:10 | |
Lambing season started in January and comes to an end this month, | 0:02:10 | 0:02:16 | |
so Leah went to a farm in North Wales to find out more. | 0:02:16 | 0:02:19 | |
BAA! | 0:02:20 | 0:02:22 | |
The beginning of a new day. | 0:02:22 | 0:02:25 | |
And the start of new life. | 0:02:28 | 0:02:32 | |
For Tom and Mally, it's the best time of year because they get | 0:02:32 | 0:02:35 | |
to help their parents deliver thousands of lambs here on the farm, | 0:02:35 | 0:02:39 | |
and bring new life. | 0:02:39 | 0:02:41 | |
This sheep's just had two lambs, they will go in a little pen | 0:02:41 | 0:02:45 | |
with her, and they will get fed and all that. | 0:02:45 | 0:02:49 | |
What's the matter? | 0:02:49 | 0:02:50 | |
What's the best thing about lambing season for you? | 0:02:55 | 0:02:57 | |
Well, out here there's always something different to do. | 0:02:57 | 0:03:01 | |
Well, it's mainly really fast, you have to be | 0:03:01 | 0:03:04 | |
up really early if you want to help. | 0:03:04 | 0:03:07 | |
And now the moment we've been waiting for. | 0:03:07 | 0:03:10 | |
Tom is able to safely deliver a lamb, after years of practice. | 0:03:10 | 0:03:14 | |
4,000 are expected to be born here this lambing season which makes | 0:03:14 | 0:03:18 | |
it a really busy time. | 0:03:18 | 0:03:21 | |
What I enjoy is lambing the sheep because it's fun | 0:03:21 | 0:03:25 | |
when you get to learn how to pull them. | 0:03:25 | 0:03:28 | |
Last year we had four that had four lambs. | 0:03:28 | 0:03:33 | |
After a wobbly start to life, each new lamb is getting ready | 0:03:33 | 0:03:37 | |
to explore their new home. | 0:03:37 | 0:03:39 | |
Well, almost. | 0:03:39 | 0:03:41 | |
Sport next, and it's a big day for basketball fans in the US. | 0:03:42 | 0:03:45 | |
A team called the Golden State Warriors | 0:03:45 | 0:03:47 | |
are on the brink of something special. | 0:03:47 | 0:03:49 | |
This season, they've become only the second team ever | 0:03:49 | 0:03:52 | |
to have won 72 games, | 0:03:52 | 0:03:54 | |
putting them level with a Chicago Bulls side | 0:03:54 | 0:03:56 | |
who did it over 20 years ago. | 0:03:56 | 0:03:58 | |
Victory tonight means they'll be the first to ever achieve 73 wins, | 0:03:58 | 0:04:03 | |
and a former player thinks the fans deserve it. | 0:04:03 | 0:04:06 | |
Just to have this opportunity for the team is something | 0:04:06 | 0:04:11 | |
that they all deserve, and hopefully they can | 0:04:11 | 0:04:14 | |
achieve their goal, and mark history. | 0:04:14 | 0:04:20 | |
Now take a look at this, this mobile phone footage shows | 0:04:20 | 0:04:22 | |
the moment a road in california in america collapsed leaving a huge | 0:04:22 | 0:04:25 | |
hole about 20 feet deep. | 0:04:25 | 0:04:29 | |
The sinkhole is thought to have been caused by recent heavy rain | 0:04:29 | 0:04:32 | |
washing away soil under the road. | 0:04:32 | 0:04:33 | |
Scary stuff. | 0:04:33 | 0:04:35 | |
