0:00:07 > 0:00:08Welcome to Newsround.
0:00:08 > 0:00:11I'm Martin.
0:00:11 > 0:00:13Coming up in the next few minutes:
0:00:13 > 0:00:17United start to close the gap on City.
0:00:17 > 0:00:19We meet the girl who's beating the boys.
0:00:19 > 0:00:26And the wallaby who got a little lost.
0:00:28 > 0:00:30Let's talk footy now and Manchester United are closing
0:00:30 > 0:00:34the gap at the top of the Premier League.
0:00:34 > 0:00:37They're now 12 points behind Man City after an impressive 3-0
0:00:37 > 0:00:39performance against Stoke at Old Trafford.
0:00:39 > 0:00:41Antonio Valencia and Anthony Martial scored in the first half.
0:00:41 > 0:00:44In the second half Romelu Lukaku finished the game off
0:00:44 > 0:00:52with this cheeky wee goal.
0:00:56 > 0:00:58Well, off the pitch, Jose Mourinho's side are now
0:00:58 > 0:00:59the club most likely
0:00:59 > 0:01:00to sign Arsenal striker Alexis Sanchez.
0:01:00 > 0:01:02Rivals Manchester City have pulled out after earlier
0:01:02 > 0:01:05being favourite to secure a deal for the Chilean international.
0:01:05 > 0:01:08The club now says it's no longer interested because of the cost.
0:01:08 > 0:01:10Now when you think of racing drivers who are the names
0:01:10 > 0:01:16that spring to mind, Lewis Hamilton, Sebastian Vettel,
0:01:16 > 0:01:18Fernando Alonso maybe?
0:01:18 > 0:01:20One thing these guys all have in common is that
0:01:20 > 0:01:22they're, well, guys!
0:01:22 > 0:01:25But Newsround recently went to catch up with one girl who's
0:01:25 > 0:01:26looking to change that.
0:01:26 > 0:01:32This is Jamie Chadwick.
0:01:32 > 0:01:33She started motor racing when she was 11.
0:01:33 > 0:01:37Aged 17, she became the first woman and the youngest driver to win
0:01:37 > 0:01:39the British GT Championship and now she's racing in Formula Three.
0:01:39 > 0:01:47So what is she doing today?
0:01:47 > 0:01:49Taking me for a drive, of course!
0:01:49 > 0:01:55Jamie, I'm really scared.
0:01:55 > 0:02:03Am I going to be all right?
0:02:05 > 0:02:05You'll be fine.
0:02:05 > 0:02:06Are you sure?
0:02:06 > 0:02:07Trust me.
0:02:07 > 0:02:10The last few people I've taken out haven't dealt with that well at all.
0:02:10 > 0:02:12They've been fainting, passing out...
0:02:12 > 0:02:13Jamie!
0:02:13 > 0:02:15So this is Silverstone, it's the home of British motorsport.
0:02:15 > 0:02:17It's where they have the Grand Prix.
0:02:17 > 0:02:20We're going to go on the circuit that they do the F1.
0:02:20 > 0:02:21It's really cool.
0:02:21 > 0:02:22Yeah, coming out onto the circuit now.
0:02:22 > 0:02:23Oh, my gosh!
0:02:23 > 0:02:24It's so fast!
0:02:24 > 0:02:29How did you realise you had a passion for racing?
0:02:29 > 0:02:32I guess before I started karting, I didn't follow motorsport that
0:02:32 > 0:02:34much, so I didn't really know much about it, but as soon
0:02:34 > 0:02:38as I first got in a go-kart, pretty much that was me done,
0:02:38 > 0:02:39that's exactly what I wanted to do.
0:02:39 > 0:02:44Oh, I love this.
0:02:44 > 0:02:47What would it be like if you got into Formula One?
0:02:47 > 0:02:50A dream come true, really.
0:02:50 > 0:02:54It's what you work for, it's what I really want to achieve,
0:02:54 > 0:02:57it's what sets the bar for every young driver, you want to be there,
0:02:57 > 0:03:00racing against the greats, you want to be the best
0:03:00 > 0:03:01in the world.
0:03:01 > 0:03:04Do you want me to do a faster lap?
0:03:04 > 0:03:09Yeah, go on, then!
0:03:09 > 0:03:12Oh, it's so fast!
0:03:12 > 0:03:13Oh, my gosh!
0:03:13 > 0:03:21It's so fast!
0:03:21 > 0:03:22Jamie, that was so much fun.
0:03:22 > 0:03:23I've got helmet hair, though.
0:03:23 > 0:03:27How do you get rid of that?
0:03:27 > 0:03:29You don't, you just have it for life.
0:03:29 > 0:03:30You're such an amazing driver.
0:03:30 > 0:03:33Why do you think it's so male-dominated, this sport,
0:03:33 > 0:03:35and do you think it can change in the future?
0:03:35 > 0:03:37I'm really hoping it can change.
0:03:37 > 0:03:40Obviously there aren't many women involved in the sport at the moment,
0:03:40 > 0:03:43but when people realise that women can be involved and just as good
0:03:43 > 0:03:46as the men if not better, in my opinion, I'm hoping more
0:03:46 > 0:03:53women get involved.
0:03:56 > 0:04:00Now if your mum or dad shops at Iceland, you might see a few
0:04:00 > 0:04:01changes over the next few years.
0:04:01 > 0:04:04The supermarket says it's getting get rid of plastic packaging
0:04:04 > 0:04:06from their own products within the next five years.
0:04:06 > 0:04:07Instead, they'll replace it with paper.
0:04:07 > 0:04:10Pollution from plastic waste is a big worry at the moment.
0:04:10 > 0:04:13Plastic in the world's oceans has been under the spotlight
0:04:13 > 0:04:14because of programmes like Blue Planet.
0:04:14 > 0:04:17It can harm or even kill wildlife.
0:04:17 > 0:04:19Now have you ever seen anything like this?
0:04:19 > 0:04:22The referee bumps into a player and then...
0:04:22 > 0:04:30kicks him!
0:04:31 > 0:04:32Let's see it again.
0:04:32 > 0:04:35The referee then sent the player off with a second yellow card.
0:04:35 > 0:04:36Well, now the referee's been suspended
0:04:36 > 0:04:39and that yellow card has been cancelled.
0:04:39 > 0:04:41Next, we're talking about manhole covers.
0:04:41 > 0:04:43Yeah, that's right!
0:04:43 > 0:04:45Not a subject Newsround would usually get excited by,
0:04:45 > 0:04:53but take a look at this.
0:04:53 > 0:04:56Tired of boring, dull roads?
0:04:56 > 0:04:57Think they need brightening up?
0:04:57 > 0:05:03Well, Japan has the answer!
0:05:03 > 0:05:11They've got all arty with manhole covers.
0:05:12 > 0:05:15They did hundreds in towns, cities and villages across Japan.
0:05:15 > 0:05:19I'll tell you what, it brightens up the road a treat.
0:05:19 > 0:05:22Now check out this wallaby in Sydney in Australia.
0:05:22 > 0:05:24It was first spotted on the famous Harbour Bridge
0:05:24 > 0:05:26at five in the morning.
0:05:26 > 0:05:29It happily hopped along in front of a police car
0:05:29 > 0:05:33at about 30 miles an hour.
0:05:33 > 0:05:34After several miles, officers managed to move
0:05:34 > 0:05:36it safely off the road
0:05:36 > 0:05:41and took it to a zoo where it wouldn't be in the way of traffic.
0:05:41 > 0:05:44Just enough time to tell you to head online, where you can find out how
0:05:44 > 0:05:45a black hole burps.
0:05:45 > 0:05:46I'm not even joking.
0:05:46 > 0:05:49Plus after Manchester City was beaten for the first time
0:05:49 > 0:05:52in the Premier League this season, we've had a look at some other
0:05:52 > 0:05:53amazing record breaking runs.
0:05:53 > 0:05:54Check them out.
0:05:54 > 0:05:55That's it from me.
0:05:55 > 0:05:56Enjoy school.
0:05:56 > 0:06:02Hayley's here for you when you get home.
