15/12/2017 Newsround

Good morning, I'm Ayshah

with Friday's Newsround.

Here's what's coming up:

One popstar's plans

to help those affected

by the California wildfires,

the space discovery that's out

of this world, and why this tree's

been on a very long journey.

Let's start with some fun

movie news by heading

to a galaxy far, far away.

You sent us hundreds

of amazing questions

for the cast of Star

Wars: The Last Jedi.

The film is out now!

So I went to meet some

of the film's stars to get some

answers just for you.

Ten-year-old Porsche and Thomas,

they want to know...

The lightsaber.

I would say, hands down,

it's the lightsaber.

Why is that?

I don't know.

It's a good can opener.

Having lunch with storm troopers,

that's pretty cool.

Seeing storm troopers

eat lunch is amazing.

Yeah, that's the coolest thing.

Yeah, that's the coolest thing.

Can you describe Star Wars:

The Last Jedi in three noises?

R2-D2 BLEEPS AND WHISTLES

Beatrice in Worcestershire,

she says...

Beatrice in Worcestershire,

she says...

Beatrice, yes, it is.

Beatrice, yes, it is.

It's the most fun thing

in the world, playing evil,

because you then try to be nicer

in real life.

And sometimes succeed,

sometimes fail.

I don't think of him as bad.

That's an actor answer.

But I like the character,

and I definitely as a child

preferred the dark side

to the light.

You could use the mind trick,

the Jedi mind trick on your teachers

if you wanted to really get

a good grade.

I didn't say that.

I would definitely destroy

all nuclear weapons that exist.

That's a lovely, sensible answer.

I know, yeah.

I was like, "Make the

commute to work easier."

But probably the nuclear weapons

think is more responsible,

so I'll go along with that.

Emily from Huddersfield,

because we were talking

about lightsabers so much.

about lightsabers so much.

She wants to know...

I do, yeah.

No way!

Yeah.

Emily, that's so cool.

Yeah, I have a helmet

and the lightsaber that I have.

That you have in your house,

just in the kitchen?

Just in a box in the storage base,

because I'm not sure

what to do with it.

But I'll figure out

something to do with it.

I'll put it front and centre

as people walk in the door.

I'd like a gold one

to match my gold robe.

Unprecedented!

Wow!

OK.

I want a three-part green,

white and orange one.

You know the way there has

been the double one.

I want one with three,

just for the Irish flag.

A very direct question.

It's fun, it's funny, it's exciting.

Like a good Star Wars movie,

you're going to come out of it

at the end and you're

going to want to go home,

grab your toys and start

playing with them.

That's what we're aiming

for with this movie.

A very exciting real

space discovery now.

NASA has found a second solar system

with as many planets as ours.

Scientists found this out

by using the Kepler Space Telescope

and artificial intelligence.

The solar system is about

2,500 light years away.

In America, Justin Bieber says

he wants to help all of those people

who've been affected

by the wildfires in California.

Tens of thousands of people have had

to leave their homes.

He says he's coming up with a plan

to work out the best way to help.

Obviously I'm not a fireman,

but I can use my resources to figure

out ways to get some

sort of restoration,

and in the meantime all

the families and all the people

who are struggling, just know that

everything's going to be OK.

Last up, hands up if you

love a Christmas tree.

I certainly do.

Take a look at how this tree travels

all the way from Oslo

in Norway to Trafalgar Square

in Central London,

especially for Christmas.

This is the most famous

Christmas tree in Britain.

Since 1947, Norway has given

a Christmas tree to the UK

as a thanks for helping to hide

the Norwegian royal family

during World War II.

This year is the 70th year Norway

has given a tree to the UK.

I'm here today to read the poem

for the Christmas tree.

We wrote poems about friendship

and Christmas trees,

and sent them off to the writer AF

Harrold, and he used our poems

as inspiration to write the poem

we're reading tonight.

This tree is a Norwegian spruce,

and a whopping 21 metres high.

It comes from a forest

just outside of Norway's

capital, Oslo.

This tree travelled

over 1,000 miles across

land and sea, before

finally arriving in London.

Merry Christmas!

That's all from me

for this whole year.

Have a fantastic Christmas.

Only ten sleeps to go!

Got my hat on ready to go!

See you later.
