Hi, Ricky here with your final

Newsround update this Sunday.

Starting off with some sport news -

and it's a record-breaking day

for the England cricket team.

Jason Roy got 180 runs,

giving him the highest score in one

day international history

for a England batsman.

Good work!

England have beaten

Australia by five wickets.

Big music news next.

I'm talking about The Brits...

All the nominations for one

of the biggests music awards

of the were released last night.

We've been taking a closer look

at who is up for what.

And watch out for the

flashes in this one.

For music fans, this

It's when some of your favourite

stars rub shoulders on the red

carpet, and they may even get to go

This year, Dua Lipa has bagged

the most nominations, five in total.

She is up for Best Album,

Best Female and Best

And Little Mix are up

for best single with Touch.

The big night is on the 21st

of February and you can

be sure of one thing,

Newsround will be there

to bring you all the gossip.

From the winners at the Brits 2018.

Now, how clean is the

air we're breathing?

Research by the World Health

Organisation last year said

the quality of the air in more

than 44 UK cities

wasn't good enough.

One girl is so worried she's decided

to do something about it.

Whitney's been to meet her?

Air pollution isn't

always easy to see.

It's caused by burning fossil fuels

- things like coal and oil

that we used to make heat,

electricity and to fuel

cars and lorries.

Hadil goes to a school in a part

of London with one of the highest

levels of air pollution

in the country.

This road is really busy

with trucks, vans, cars,

buses, you name it.

Using this special camera,

we can see some of the harmful

gases in the air.

Look as it drives off, and look

at the cars next to it as well.

And when you put it

in normal mode...

Nothing.

You can't see anything.

But what are we actually looking at?

This lab measures air quality

from all over the UK.

Hi, David, we've been looking

at the exhausts of cars.

Can you tell us what this means

and is it really harmful?

Well, I can see here that you've got

pollution coming out

of the exhausts of vehicles.

That is mainly going to be nitrogen

dioxide and very small particles,

both of which can be damaging

to your health.

It's not a worry for most

of us who are healthy

but if you have an existing problem

with your breathing,

like many old people do,

or if you have asthma,

then both of those things can be

affected by air pollution.

The mayor of London, Sadiq Khan,

says the problem is unacceptable,

and has promised to help get

pollution levels down

to the World Health Organisation

standards by 2030.

But Hadil once more

done, more quickly.

I'm writing this letter

to the London mayor, Sadiq Khan.

To tell him how unhappy I am

about the air pollution in London.

I wrote two proposals.

The first one is to see more

electric cars on the road

and the second one is to get

factories to stop using

harmful chemicals.

She's sending it to City Hall

where the Mayor of London works.

Newsround contacted Sadiq Khan

about Hadil's concerns,

and his office told us

that the mayor is...

Creating 12 low emission bus zones,

phasing out diesel taxis,

checking the quality of air around

schools and alerting people

when air quality falls

below a certain standard.

They say the mayor now once

the government to introduce

a special fund to help people

replace high emission vehicles.

The government has promised to give

£3.5 billion to help

improve air quality.

It plans to end the sale of diesel

and petrol cars and vans by the end

of 2040 and is publishing a clean

air strategy, setting out further

steps to tackle air pollution.

Finally, have you ever

stopped to wonder how

extraordinary your lunch is?

French President

Emmanuel Macron has.

He wants the French baguette to be

named a UNESCO cultural treasure.

It's a list of crafts and practices

from around the world that

are special or unique.

According to the president,

the baguette is the envy

of the world and its ingredients

and the way it's made

should be protected.

If you fancy some spread

to have with that baguette,

head over to Newsround online

to for your freaky news fix with our

Strange Stranger Strangest round-up,

including this sculpture made

entirely from butter.

That's your lot for today.

Newsround's back in the morning.

Enjoy the rest of the weekend.
