:00:10. > :00:13.It's Thursday 15th November, Leah and Ricky here with tonight's
:00:13. > :00:17.Newsround. Yep, we've taken over BBC One. We're live, it's just
:00:17. > :00:23.after five, coming up... He's in charge of more than one
:00:23. > :00:27.billion people, China's new leader. A work of art, the best goal ever?
:00:27. > :00:37.We look at how Zlatan did it. And we take a look at the world's
:00:37. > :00:48.
:00:48. > :00:51.First, though, we're talking about this man. He may not look familiar,
:00:51. > :00:55.but today he was put in charge of one of the most powerful countries
:00:55. > :01:00.in the world. Xi Jinping is China's new leader, so who is he and why do
:01:00. > :01:04.you need to know? I've been looking into this one.
:01:04. > :01:08.China. It has the world's second biggest economy and is home to more
:01:08. > :01:10.than a billion people. And with millions of Chinese people living
:01:10. > :01:15.around the world, like here in Manchester, the country's influence
:01:15. > :01:18.can be seen in many places. Because it's so powerful, the decisions
:01:18. > :01:22.made by its leaders have a huge impact on countries all over the
:01:22. > :01:28.world. So everyone wants to know what the new leader Xi Jinping
:01:28. > :01:31.thinks, but no-one knows much about him. He's seen as a new type of
:01:31. > :01:36.leader for China. One of the reasons why, it may sound strange,
:01:36. > :01:40.is because he smiles a lot. That's seen as a good sign that he's more
:01:40. > :01:45.in touch with people. He likes US war films and his wife is a famous
:01:45. > :01:48.country singer. All this is important because the majority of
:01:48. > :01:51.people in China didn't actually get to choose their new leader. The
:01:51. > :01:56.country has just one party, the Communist Party, a huge
:01:56. > :01:59.organisation with more than 80m members. Every ten years, some of
:01:59. > :02:04.the top party members meet to decide who their new leader should
:02:04. > :02:08.be. But really it's just for show. The real decisions are made by the
:02:08. > :02:11.older party leaders well ahead of the gathering. When Xi was growing
:02:11. > :02:15.up, the party governed almost every aspect of people's lives, but over
:02:15. > :02:20.the last ten years China has changed a lot. Citizens are now
:02:20. > :02:23.more critical of the government and expect more from them. For a long
:02:23. > :02:26.time, the government has controlled what people read and watch. Access
:02:26. > :02:36.to websites like Facebook is restricted and even channels like
:02:36. > :02:37.
:02:37. > :02:41.BBC World are sometimes censored. Damian Grammaticas's report that we
:02:41. > :02:46.have just seen was broadcast on BBC World news in the last few hours.
:02:46. > :02:50.The Chinese cut out all those interviews with dissidents, it is
:02:50. > :02:53.something they really do not like. There is still a huge difference
:02:53. > :02:56.between the rich and the poor in China, and people are hopeful that
:02:56. > :02:59.Xi is the leader to do something about it.
:02:59. > :03:03.Now if you were watching Newsround two years ago, you might remember
:03:03. > :03:06.seeing scenes like these. They were caused by a big explosion at an oil
:03:07. > :03:09.well off the coast of America. Now the company responsible for the oil
:03:10. > :03:13.spill has been ordered to pay billions of dollars by an American
:03:13. > :03:17.court. 11 workers died in the Deepwater Horizon disaster in the
:03:17. > :03:21.Gulf of Mexico. The oil leak took months to fix, and during that time
:03:21. > :03:25.millions of barrels of oil leaked into the sea, damaging wildlife. BP
:03:25. > :03:31.will pay a record fine of more than �2bn to the US government.
:03:31. > :03:37.That's on top of billions pounds its already paid out.
:03:37. > :03:39.Next up, was it the greatest goal ever? Despite being 30 yards from
:03:39. > :03:42.goal and facing the wrong way, Sweden striker Zlatan Ibrahimovic
:03:42. > :03:48.scored this beauty last night, giving Sweden a 4-2 win in their
:03:48. > :03:53.brand-new national stadium. Steven Gerrard said it was the best he'd
:03:53. > :04:03.ever seen. Roy Hodgson described it as extraordinary. So how did he do
:04:03. > :04:08.After a long ball over the top, Joe Hart did not clear the ball FA, but
:04:08. > :04:14.that did not seem a problem until the giant striker, Zlatan
:04:14. > :04:18.Ibrahimovic, launched this into the air, making contact with the ball
:04:18. > :04:24.80 ft off the ground. He has a black belt in taekwondo, which is
:04:24. > :04:29.why people say he can jump so high. From 30 yards away, the ball
:04:29. > :04:34.reached a height of 25 feet. Ryan Shawcross could not keep it out,
:04:34. > :04:40.and it went across the line for his fourth goal of the night. No wonder
:04:40. > :04:43.he is celebrating! But we will not Now, when ten-year-old Martha put
:04:43. > :04:46.pictures of her school dinners online, she never imagined it would
:04:46. > :04:49.help her raise thousands of pounds for children in Africa. But after
:04:49. > :04:52.her blog Never Seconds became an internet sensation, she asked the
:04:52. > :04:55.millions of readers it attracted to donate money. Now Martha has
:04:55. > :04:58.written a book about her journey from Scotland to Malawi to see how
:04:58. > :05:08.the cash she raised is being spent. She told Nel it all started because
:05:08. > :05:10.
:05:10. > :05:14.she would always came home from school hungry. We were having
:05:14. > :05:19.pieces, hot dogs and stuff, they were not healthy and they were
:05:19. > :05:24.quite small as well. So we thought what we could do about it. Have
:05:24. > :05:28.your school dinners changed since she started writing the blog?
:05:28. > :05:35.now we are allowed as much bread, fruit and salad as we want, and we
:05:35. > :05:40.can come back for more fruit. Next, let's show you some dramatic
:05:40. > :05:42.pictures recorded in Japan yesterday. These tornados were
:05:42. > :05:45.captured sweeping across the ocean. They lasted for about ten minutes
:05:45. > :05:48.before disappearing when they reached the coast. Tornados are
:05:48. > :05:50.rare in Japan, but forecasters are warning people to watch out for
:05:50. > :05:53.more strange weather. A story of epic proportions now.
:05:53. > :06:00.Seven continents, seven days, seven super-long marathons. That is the
:06:00. > :06:03.challenge a doctor from Scotland is about to begin. His task will take
:06:03. > :06:13.him to Antarctica, South America, North America, Europe, Africa, Asia
:06:13. > :06:13.
:06:13. > :06:17.One man, one mission, one mighty big adventure! Seven days across
:06:17. > :06:23.seven continents to complete seven ultra marathons, each longer than a
:06:23. > :06:27.normal marathon. Andrew Murray, not that one, will soon touched down in
:06:27. > :06:31.Antarctica and begin a gruelling journey that he hopes will
:06:31. > :06:35.encourage people to exercise. my way of seeing the world, it is
:06:35. > :06:41.something I really wanted to do. It is a minimum of 50 kilometres per
:06:41. > :06:46.day on foot, and I think that the total air miles is about 41,000.
:06:46. > :06:49.The GB from Edinburgh is no stranger to extreme running.
:06:49. > :06:56.Earlier this year he came first in a marathon at the North Pole, and
:06:56. > :07:01.before that he ran for 77 days, a total of 2659 miles from Scotland
:07:01. > :07:05.to the Sahara desert in Africa, amazing! This latest challenge will
:07:05. > :07:10.start in the cold expanses of Antarctica, then he will fly to
:07:10. > :07:14.Patagonia in South America, before travelling to Atlanta in the United
:07:14. > :07:18.States. By day four he will be beside the Thames in London, before
:07:18. > :07:22.adding to Cairo and the pyramids of Giza. Then he will cross the finish
:07:22. > :07:27.line in Dubai before hopefully making his final stop in Sydney,
:07:28. > :07:32.Australia. Phew! This is without doubt his toughest challenge yet,
:07:32. > :07:35.but with a packed programme it will not be plain sailing. There is the
:07:35. > :07:40.running, then the logistics, getting the flights towards native.
:07:40. > :07:46.I will not get much sleep, I will be Jack Black unbelievably. While
:07:46. > :07:55.most people would be put off by the aches and pains, just try stopping
:07:55. > :07:59.this man, he is a machine! And we thought running the London
:07:59. > :08:01.Marathon was tricky! Moving on now, and scientists have
:08:02. > :08:06.uncovered some of the secrets of the world's leggiest creature. It's
:08:06. > :08:10.a species of millipede with no fewer than 750 legs! Despite the
:08:10. > :08:12.name, most other millipedes only have an average of 62 legs. Experts
:08:12. > :08:15.think this one's special because its ancestors lived deep
:08:15. > :08:25.underground and needed more legs to burrow in the soil and cling to
:08:25. > :08:32.
:08:32. > :08:39.How many people manage to fit into this car, you'll find all the
:08:39. > :08:42.details on the website, plenty more pictures, to. Now, Wallace and
:08:42. > :08:45.Gromit fans, there's only one Gromit, right? Wrong! Now there are
:08:45. > :08:47.60 of them and they're huge! These giant Gromits have been made
:08:47. > :08:50.specially to go on display in Bristol, the home of Aardman
:08:50. > :08:53.Animations, which makes Wallace and Gromit, and Shaun the Sheep. Each
