Good afternoon. Jenny here with Monday's Newsround update. | :00:13. | :00:14. | |
It's a busy one. On the way - spiders for tea? We | :00:15. | :00:17. | |
check out the creepiest crawliest restaurant ever. | :00:18. | :00:19. | |
Plus - landing a spacecraft on a comet. What could be easier? This is | :00:20. | :00:22. | |
First, talk about tense - with only three days before people in Scotland | :00:23. | :00:34. | |
get to vote on their future, it's so close, no-one knows which way the | :00:35. | :00:37. | |
vote will go. On Thursday, anyone 16 and over and living in Scotland will | :00:38. | :00:41. | |
be asked one question. Should Scotland be an independent country? | :00:42. | :00:43. | |
Today, politicians on both sides are in Scotland trying to win over | :00:44. | :00:47. | |
anyone who's not made their mind up yet. One of the big issues for | :00:48. | :00:50. | |
voters is the oil in the North Sea, which brings a lot of money and jobs | :00:51. | :00:54. | |
to Scotland. Thousands of people work on the oil rigs, drilling under | :00:55. | :00:57. | |
the sea for oil and gas. Workers spend weeks away from home, because | :00:58. | :01:00. | |
the rigs are miles from shore. Martin has been to Aberdeen, to meet | :01:01. | :01:03. | |
I'm Anna. I'm ten and I live in Aberdeen. My dad works offshore on a | :01:04. | :01:21. | |
rig in the North Sea. He takes quite an unusual way to his work. He flies | :01:22. | :01:26. | |
in a helicopter. Today, me and my dad are going to show Martin what | :01:27. | :01:33. | |
it's all about. What is your dad up to now? He's checking in. It's a bit | :01:34. | :01:39. | |
like an airport. My dad gets weighed, because the helicopter can | :01:40. | :01:42. | |
only take a certain amount of weight. What is in your dad's | :01:43. | :01:50. | |
wearing? It's like a suit. This is what my dad wears when he goes to | :01:51. | :01:55. | |
work. Is it like a safety suit? It's a safety suit on the helicopter. Can | :01:56. | :02:00. | |
you tell us what it's like working on the rig in the middle of the | :02:01. | :02:06. | |
North Sea? You are outside and all you can see is the sea. We do 14 | :02:07. | :02:12. | |
days at a time. Every day you do 12-hour shifts. I quite regularly | :02:13. | :02:18. | |
see seals cutting about and we also see sharks and you see the odd | :02:19. | :02:23. | |
killer whale. I've seen them. Anna, how do you feel about your dad | :02:24. | :02:28. | |
working on the oil riggs? Sometimes I'm sad because he's not here for my | :02:29. | :02:33. | |
birthday, but then he'll be here for Christmas. He does the occasional | :02:34. | :02:43. | |
e-mail. It can be hard if you are missing special occasions, but | :02:44. | :02:49. | |
there's always a phone. Does this give you a better understanding of | :02:50. | :02:54. | |
what your dad does in Yes. I can see why now he's too tired. Thank you | :02:55. | :03:00. | |
very much for doing this. I had fun. Shall we go now? Next stop, | :03:01. | :03:09. | |
It's a huge day on Newsround tomorrow. Join us in the morning to | :03:10. | :03:15. | |
watch these three girls put the two big rivals in the Scottish | :03:16. | :03:18. | |
Referendum debate on the spot. Newsround viewers interview Alastair | :03:19. | :03:24. | |
Darling and Alex Salmond. The Newsround website is the place | :03:25. | :03:27. | |
to be for all your Scotland news. Watch Ayshah and Martin out and | :03:28. | :03:33. | |
out everything you need to know about the Referendum. | :03:34. | :03:40. | |
Next, it's a one-shot opportunity - attempting to land a spacecraft on a | :03:41. | :03:43. | |
high-speed comet. The European Space Agency has announced which part of | :03:44. | :03:47. | |
the comet they're going to try to land on. It won't be easy - the | :03:48. | :03:51. | |
comet has a jagged and rocky surface, but scientists have | :03:52. | :03:53. | |
identified a smooth area, which they hope is the perfect spot for the | :03:54. | :03:56. | |
Rosetta spacecraft to touch down. They'll carry out the landing | :03:57. | :03:59. | |
attempt in November. It's hoped it'll give scientists the most | :04:00. | :04:01. | |
people have been forced to stay indoors, after a hurricane hit the | :04:02. | :04:14. | |
west of the country. The resort of Los Cabos has been worst affected, | :04:15. | :04:17. | |
with alerts for flooding, storm surges, and landslides. Shelters | :04:18. | :04:20. | |
have already been set up, so people have somewhere to stay if their | :04:21. | :04:23. | |
Last up - if your mum's been bugging you to eat your tea, just be glad | :04:24. | :04:34. | |
it's not this! A restaurant in Mexico is serving up dishes made | :04:35. | :04:37. | |
with whole spiders. They say the way it's prepared, along with the | :04:38. | :04:40. | |
flavour of the spiders, is going down very well. | :04:41. | :04:46. | |
Well, what are you waiting for - head to the Newsround website for | :04:47. | :04:50. | |
loads more, including some pretty exciting One Direction news. That's | :04:51. | :04:53. | |
all for today. Have a lovely afternoon. | :04:54. | :04:58. |
