0:00:12 > 0:00:15Morning guys, Whitney here with your Wednesday Newsround.

0:00:15 > 0:00:18First up, spies, computer hackers and Russia.

0:00:18 > 0:00:20What's that all about, you ask?

0:00:20 > 0:00:23Well, the British Prime Minister Theresa May made a big speech

0:00:23 > 0:00:26telling off Russia for getting involved in other

0:00:26 > 0:00:27countries' business.

0:00:27 > 0:00:29Ayshah has more.

0:00:29 > 0:00:31Do you know who this guy is?

0:00:31 > 0:00:35This is Vladimir Putin and he's the president of Russia.

0:00:35 > 0:00:37He also likes to show the Russian people how

0:00:37 > 0:00:41strong he is by riding a horse or catching big fish.

0:00:41 > 0:00:43In some mountains.

0:00:43 > 0:00:45With his top off!

0:00:45 > 0:00:47Well, we all need a hobby.

0:00:47 > 0:00:49But now spies around the world are

0:00:49 > 0:00:53getting fed up with what they say he's up to.

0:00:53 > 0:00:56Those spies are saying that Russia is using social media to

0:00:56 > 0:01:01try and interfere with other countries, including in elections.

0:01:01 > 0:01:07Experts believe teams of Russian spies are writing and spreading

0:01:07 > 0:01:11stories all over the web that are made to divide people and

0:01:11 > 0:01:13cause arguments.

0:01:13 > 0:01:16They have thousands of social media accounts that all share

0:01:16 > 0:01:22each other's stories so the messages go far and wide.

0:01:22 > 0:01:25It's like having thousands of digital spies.

0:01:25 > 0:01:28So, what about Mr Putin?

0:01:28 > 0:01:31Well, he says he doesn't know anything about it but

0:01:31 > 0:01:34if it is happening, then it's nothing to do with him or Russia.

0:01:34 > 0:01:37But not everyone believes that and lots

0:01:37 > 0:01:39of leaders want to know if Russia is a friend

0:01:39 > 0:01:47or if it could be an enemy.

0:01:47 > 0:01:50OK, time for a quick round-up of some of the other top stories today.

0:01:50 > 0:01:52The Republic of Ireland won't be joining England

0:01:52 > 0:01:54at the World Cup next summer.

0:01:54 > 0:01:56After drawing the first leg with Denmark 0-0,

0:01:56 > 0:01:58they ended up losing 5-1 last night.

0:01:58 > 0:02:00Tottenham midfielder Christian Eriksen scored

0:02:00 > 0:02:03a hat-trick, which meant the Danes were celebrating at

0:02:03 > 0:02:06the end of the night.

0:02:06 > 0:02:08Several of England's new young players played

0:02:08 > 0:02:09against Neymar's Brazil last night.

0:02:09 > 0:02:13The match wasn't very exciting and ended 0-0

0:02:13 > 0:02:17but England Manager Gareth Southgate said he was really pleased about how

0:02:17 > 0:02:22the young side played against some superstar names.

0:02:22 > 0:02:24And Wales also tried out their youngsters against Panama.

0:02:24 > 0:02:26Tom Lawrence's goal was the highlight,

0:02:26 > 0:02:29although they conceded a late goal, to draw in what could be manager

0:02:29 > 0:02:35Chris Coleman's last game in charge.

0:02:35 > 0:02:38Next, have you ever wanted to travel to the dark side of the moon?

0:02:38 > 0:02:40It's definitely on my bucketlist somewhere.

0:02:40 > 0:02:44Very few people have done it, but one of them who has is former

0:02:44 > 0:02:46NASA astronaut Al Worden.

0:02:46 > 0:02:51Leah went to meet him and ask him your questions.

0:02:51 > 0:02:54Hi, Newsround, I'm Al Worden, I have been to the moon.

0:02:54 > 0:02:57I hold two Guinness records, one for being the most isolated

0:02:57 > 0:03:00person in history and one for doing the very first deep space spacewalk.

0:03:00 > 0:03:08Back in 1971, Nasa launched Apollo 15.

0:03:08 > 0:03:10The latest in its rockets to the moon.

0:03:10 > 0:03:14Al Worden was the command module pilot.

0:03:14 > 0:03:17When Apollo 15 reached the moon, two astronauts went down

0:03:17 > 0:03:21to the surface and Al stayed on board alone as it orbited

0:03:21 > 0:03:24the moon for three days.

0:03:24 > 0:03:26So, Al, can you tell me what it was like being

0:03:26 > 0:03:28so far away in space?

0:03:28 > 0:03:31Yeah, it's, it's isolated.

0:03:31 > 0:03:33We were in a little, small spacecraft, it was only

0:03:33 > 0:03:36about the size of a Volkswagen.

0:03:36 > 0:03:40It had two guys that, when they go down to the moon for three days,

0:03:40 > 0:03:42I had that Volkswagen all to myself for three days which

0:03:42 > 0:03:44was kind of nice.

0:03:44 > 0:03:46Imagine you're swimming underwater but there's no water.

0:03:46 > 0:03:48And that's what it's like in space.

0:03:48 > 0:03:49That's incredible.

0:03:49 > 0:03:51So Newsround viewers love space and they've sent

0:03:51 > 0:03:52you some of their questions.

0:03:52 > 0:03:55Sure.

0:03:57 > 0:03:59We trained for three years just for my flight.

0:03:59 > 0:04:03That was after I got selected and ended up in the space programme.

0:04:03 > 0:04:06I trained for a year and a half as back-up crew for Apollo 12,

0:04:06 > 0:04:08a further year and a half for Apollo 15.

0:04:08 > 0:04:10Three years training just for one flight.

0:04:10 > 0:04:14We tried some 300 different types of food.

0:04:14 > 0:04:16It was all freeze-dried.

0:04:16 > 0:04:20It was quite easy, all we had to do was pour water back in and heat it

0:04:20 > 0:04:22up and it was lasagne, spaghetti, Mac and cheese,

0:04:22 > 0:04:26all kinds of beef pies and stuff, it was OK.

0:04:28 > 0:04:34My favourite button to press on the spacecraft is the one that

0:04:34 > 0:04:36turned the engine on.

0:04:36 > 0:04:42Then we go somewhere!

0:04:44 > 0:04:46That's all from me.

0:04:46 > 0:04:47Newsround is back at 8.15am.

0:04:47 > 0:04:51We will see you then.
