:00:17. > :00:17.stories, including the Mexican ball game rebooted after 3000 years, and

:00:18. > :00:34.why China are breaking the ice. But first, to some Easter chocolate

:00:35. > :00:37.you'll definitely want to chew today. A Thomas the Tank Engine

:00:38. > :00:41.train made entirely of chocolate has arrived at King's Cross station in

:00:42. > :00:45.London to mark the Easter weekend. It is made of more than 100

:00:46. > :00:50.kilograms of white, dark and milk Belgian chocolate and stands over

:00:51. > :00:53.six feet tall. I want some! So it is Easter Sunday. You have been getting

:00:54. > :00:57.in touch all weekend to let us know what you love about it. John says,

:00:58. > :01:02.my favourite Easter thing is an egg hunt with my money and big sister in

:01:03. > :01:06.my back garden. Joseph is all about eating chocolate and having a nice

:01:07. > :01:11.family meal, and Hope says she loves going to the park on her bike and

:01:12. > :01:15.having a chocolate Easter egg. Allah loves Easter for Church, baking, and

:01:16. > :01:19.doing an Easter egg hunt at Sunday school. Nice one, Easter fans! So it

:01:20. > :01:25.is Easter Sunday, and it is all about the Easter Bunny, but animal

:01:26. > :01:30.groups want to remind people that rabbits take a lot of looking.

:01:31. > :01:34.Meet Ruby, he was abandoned five months ago, and is now in this

:01:35. > :01:39.rescue centre, ready to be re-homed. And he's not the only one. Last

:01:40. > :01:43.year, the animal charity the RSPCA had to rescue more than 3000

:01:44. > :01:48.rabbits, and almost 1000 of them had been completely abandoned.

:01:49. > :01:51.This time of the year, the weather is getting nicer, everyone wants to

:01:52. > :01:56.be out in the garden, let's get a rabbit. And then winter comes, and

:01:57. > :02:01.the rain comes, and they are like, oh, I have to go into the garden and

:02:02. > :02:05.clean the rabbit. So yes, you really need to think about whether you are

:02:06. > :02:07.willing to do that out in the worst of weather as well as the best of

:02:08. > :02:11.weather. Pet shops are worried that at this

:02:12. > :02:15.time of year, people will want rabbits as pets, and not realise the

:02:16. > :02:19.work involved. That is why lots of shops are not allowing people to buy

:02:20. > :02:23.or adopt them over the Easter weekend, to try and prevent this.

:02:24. > :02:29.So how do you look after a rabbit properly? Rabbits need a lot of

:02:30. > :02:33.space for running around, and they also need companionship. They are

:02:34. > :02:40.very sociable animals, so they need a friend. And they need the right

:02:41. > :02:45.diet, so grass, head, and lean the good food you can buy. -- hay.

:02:46. > :02:50.So remember, kids, a rabbit isn't just for Easter, because these guys

:02:51. > :02:53.can lift to the age of 12 years old! They are so cute!

:02:54. > :02:57.In football, Liverpool are looking to cement their place in the top

:02:58. > :03:02.four today, and they are just over half an hour into their game at West

:03:03. > :03:06.Brom. The score is currently 0-0, and a win would see the mood nine

:03:07. > :03:11.points clear of six placed Manchester United, who played

:03:12. > :03:16.Chelsea Ladies on this afternoon. Next, look at this relaunch of a

:03:17. > :03:20.3000 year old ancient game in Mexico. Up until 2006, the games

:03:21. > :03:24.were banned by the rulers of the country, but now they are back.

:03:25. > :03:28.Today, the game is played by teams of seven players who knocked a heavy

:03:29. > :03:31.solid rubber ball up and down a narrow pitch using their hips rather

:03:32. > :03:37.than their feet. Ouch! That would certainly get your hips moving. As

:03:38. > :03:41.would this. Ever wondered if you could be in an all singing, all

:03:42. > :03:47.dancing pop band? Well, we sent our reporter Whitney to meet KJidz Bop,

:03:48. > :03:51.to find out if she has got what it takes. You have probably heard of

:03:52. > :03:55.Justin Bieber, can you a West or even Taylor Swift, but what about

:03:56. > :04:00.Kidz Bop? Well, they are a huge US band, and now I UK version of Kidz

:04:01. > :04:06.Bop has launched, and I thought why not come down and eat them? I will

:04:07. > :04:12.turn the camera around. Twinkle, Max, Lois and Ashton, how you? You

:04:13. > :04:15.are part of UK Kidz Bop. How did you get into the?

:04:16. > :04:18.Kidz Bop had a nationwide casting call, and the four of us went to

:04:19. > :04:20.London to meet the production team, and we were lucky enough to be

:04:21. > :04:24.picked. Amazing. I have seen some of your

:04:25. > :04:28.videos. Hundreds of thousands of use on you tube. How do you feel about

:04:29. > :04:35.the attention you are receiving. It is nice to see young fans

:04:36. > :04:37.supporting us and hoping they can do the same thing.

:04:38. > :04:40.And speaking of your fans, if they want to get into Kidz Bop, what

:04:41. > :04:42.advice would you give them? Enjoy what you're doing, and keep

:04:43. > :04:47.working hard towards it. Amazing. I am only a few years older

:04:48. > :04:50.than you I promise! You think I have got what it takes to be part of UK

:04:51. > :04:53.Kidz Bop? Yes, everybody can.

:04:54. > :04:59.I think we should put this to the test. Will you teach me some moves?

:05:04. > :05:08.ready to. Let's go. I'm ready for the first dance move.

:05:09. > :05:14.So, you will punch four times with your right hand in the air. In step

:05:15. > :05:17.with your right. One, two, three, four. With this one, you're right I

:05:18. > :05:31.goes out, and you cross behind you. Shout out to my ex! You're really

:05:32. > :05:36.quite a mess! Oh, my God! I have done it! I think I will leave it to

:05:37. > :05:39.you professionals. Thank you! I don't think I have what it takes

:05:40. > :05:44.just yet. Last up, something else making some

:05:45. > :05:47.big moves. Take a look, extreme weather in China over winter made

:05:48. > :05:52.the river frozen solid, so engineers decided to break up the ice with

:05:53. > :05:57.explosives, sending it flying high into the air. Ice work, guys! That's

:05:58. > :05:58.all from me. News round will be back tomorrow, but until then, have a

:05:59. > :06:01.lovely Easter.
