0:00:49 > 0:00:50Newsround,

0:00:50 > 0:00:54May the Force be with you.

0:00:54 > 0:00:59I only know one truth.

0:00:59 > 0:01:03It's time for the Jedi to end.

0:01:03 > 0:01:08Guess where we are, we are at the Star Wars

0:01:08 > 0:01:11European premiere!

0:01:11 > 0:01:17CHEERING

0:01:17 > 0:01:21I used to watch Newsround all the time.

0:01:21 > 0:01:25What do they have to look forward to in this movie from you?

0:01:25 > 0:01:27Some fun fights.

0:01:27 > 0:01:30Some fun creatures I get to work with, and, some

0:01:30 > 0:01:33fun new spaceships.

0:01:33 > 0:01:35They are the real fun stuff.

0:01:35 > 0:01:39What does this film mean for the new generation of fans?

0:01:39 > 0:01:43These films from the beginning were meant for children.

0:01:43 > 0:01:46People forget that.

0:01:46 > 0:01:48They say No, it is for 48-year-old nerds.

0:01:48 > 0:01:52No, it's for children.

0:01:52 > 0:01:55It just so happens that it appeals to the child in all of us I

0:01:55 > 0:01:57guess.

0:01:57 > 0:02:01I was seven when I first saw Star Wars and Princess

0:02:01 > 0:02:04Leia meant the world to me, because I hadn't seen many

0:02:04 > 0:02:08iconic female superheroes.

0:02:08 > 0:02:12And now I get to be part of a group, a tribe of very powerful

0:02:12 > 0:02:21female characters.

0:02:21 > 0:02:24I've got my nephews here who are young and they

0:02:24 > 0:02:27are passionate Star Wars fans, and they are the children

0:02:27 > 0:02:29of my brother who's nearly 50 and he is the world's

0:02:29 > 0:02:31greatest Star Wars fan.

0:02:31 > 0:02:35So it is for such a wide audience.

0:02:35 > 0:02:37Despite the fact that I am in it, I think

0:02:37 > 0:02:44it is one of the best Star Wars films ever made.

0:02:44 > 0:02:48Well, I can't wait for that!

0:02:48 > 0:02:50Being chosen as an Olympic torch bearer is a big honour.

0:02:50 > 0:02:52But I wonder if these robots appreciated getting

0:02:52 > 0:02:53to take on the baton?

0:02:53 > 0:02:56This is the torch relay for the Winter Olympics taking

0:02:56 > 0:02:58place in Pyeongchang, in South Korea.

0:02:58 > 0:03:01It's the first time in Olympic history a robot has carried

0:03:01 > 0:03:03the torch, and they also help to carry some of

0:03:03 > 0:03:05the other torchbearers!

0:03:05 > 0:03:08Pretty cool!

0:03:08 > 0:03:12Next up, mobile phones in school - should they be allowed?

0:03:12 > 0:03:15In France a new law is aiming to ban phones in primary

0:03:15 > 0:03:17and secondary schools.

0:03:17 > 0:03:19Kids wouldn't be able to look at or touch them

0:03:19 > 0:03:21until after school has finished.

0:03:21 > 0:03:25Should that be the law here?

0:03:25 > 0:03:27We want to know what you think.

0:03:27 > 0:03:29Head to our vote at Newsround online to have your say.

0:03:29 > 0:03:31What will you be doing on Christmas Eve?

0:03:31 > 0:03:34Watching festive films, maybe putting out a mince pie

0:03:34 > 0:03:35for Father Christmas?

0:03:35 > 0:03:39Well, these boys have a very important job to do before they can

0:03:39 > 0:03:41go to bed.

0:03:41 > 0:03:43They are singing for people all around the world!

0:03:43 > 0:03:47Let's meet them.

0:03:47 > 0:03:50Hi, Newsround.

0:03:50 > 0:03:52We sing in King's College Choir,

0:03:52 > 0:03:56which started over 500 years ago.

0:03:56 > 0:03:58Christmas is a very special time for us because we sing

0:03:58 > 0:04:02in a service called Nine Lessons and Carols.

0:04:02 > 0:04:05And it takes place right here in King's College Chapel in Cambridge,

0:04:05 > 0:04:08it first took place in 1918.

0:04:08 > 0:04:10This service is broadcast live on

0:04:10 > 0:04:13the radio in Christmas Eve and millions of people listen to it

0:04:13 > 0:04:18every year.

0:04:18 > 0:04:21The service starts with a boy singing a solo of Once In

0:04:21 > 0:04:23Royal David's City.

0:04:23 > 0:04:28Nobody knows who's going to do the solo until

0:04:28 > 0:04:30right before it begins, when the conductor points

0:04:30 > 0:04:31at somebody to do it.

0:04:31 > 0:04:35Before the service I feel excited and nervous.

0:04:35 > 0:04:39Yeah, it's all mixed emotions, really.

0:04:39 > 0:04:43There is always something to help you with

0:04:43 > 0:04:44your nerves.

0:04:44 > 0:04:47I usually take really deep breaths and think about how

0:04:47 > 0:04:52amazing the service is going to sound.

0:04:52 > 0:04:55I also love how I can just imagine when we are singing people

0:04:55 > 0:04:57just smiling on the other side of the radio.

0:04:57 > 0:05:00Before the service I feel proud to sing with this choir

0:05:00 > 0:05:04because it's really, really famous.

0:05:04 > 0:05:07I feel really Christmassy because it's just really building up to

0:05:07 > 0:05:08Christmas.

0:05:08 > 0:05:10We can't wait for Christmas Eve.

0:05:10 > 0:05:16Merry Christmas, Newsround!

0:05:16 > 0:05:18Thank you boys.

0:05:18 > 0:05:20Finally, it's that magical time of year, when you put

0:05:20 > 0:05:24on your Christmas jumper, go for a walk and eat a bone - hey?

0:05:24 > 0:05:28Oh, it's doggy Christmas Jumper Day!

0:05:28 > 0:05:32These dogs are about to become record breakers.

0:05:32 > 0:05:35On Sunday, 300 dogs arrive at Battersea Park in London

0:05:35 > 0:05:37wearing Christmas jumpers.

0:05:37 > 0:05:40These festive pups were part of a world

0:05:40 > 0:05:43record attempt for the most dogs in Christmas jumpers.

0:05:43 > 0:05:47Along with setting a new world record these

0:05:47 > 0:05:50paw-some pooches also helped raise lots of money for the charity Save

0:05:50 > 0:05:51the Children.

0:05:51 > 0:05:53We think that deserves a round of applause.

0:05:53 > 0:06:00Well done everybody.

0:06:00 > 0:06:02Well maybe it might turn next year.

0:06:02 > 0:06:04That's all from me for now, but I'm back with more
