Good morning, you're waking up with Newsround - | 0:00:03 | 0:00:05 | |
Ricky here with Wednesday's top stories. | 0:00:05 | 0:00:07 | |
On the way... | 0:00:07 | 0:00:10 | |
The mother of all ships arrives home in Portsmouth. | 0:00:10 | 0:00:12 | |
And... | 0:00:12 | 0:00:16 | |
The countdown is on for the great American solar eclipse. | 0:00:16 | 0:00:20 | |
The largest warship ever built for the Royal Navy is arriving | 0:00:29 | 0:00:32 | |
at its new home in Portsmouth for the first time this morning. | 0:00:32 | 0:00:37 | |
The aircraft carrier HMS Queen Elizabeth cost | 0:00:37 | 0:00:46 | |
three billion pounds, weighs 65,000 tonnes | 0:00:46 | 0:00:48 | |
and is as high as Nelson's column. | 0:00:48 | 0:00:50 | |
But she won't have any aircraft on board until flying trials | 0:00:50 | 0:00:52 | |
are conducted in America next year. | 0:00:52 | 0:00:58 | |
Next up, the countdown is on for the great American solar | 0:00:58 | 0:01:01 | |
eclipse, which happens on August 21st across 14 US states. | 0:01:01 | 0:01:05 | |
It's the first time a total solar eclipse has happened | 0:01:05 | 0:01:09 | |
in America in decades. | 0:01:09 | 0:01:12 | |
Here's Whitney to explain. | 0:01:12 | 0:01:14 | |
There's three key players in the solar system - | 0:01:14 | 0:01:17 | |
the sun, the moon, and, of course, the earth | 0:01:17 | 0:01:20 | |
which we live on. | 0:01:20 | 0:01:22 | |
Now, on a normal afternoon, the sun shines on the earth. | 0:01:22 | 0:01:28 | |
This means it's bright during the day. | 0:01:28 | 0:01:30 | |
And as the earth turns around at night, it makes | 0:01:30 | 0:01:32 | |
everything go dark. | 0:01:32 | 0:01:35 | |
But on the afternoon of Monday 21st August, | 0:01:35 | 0:01:38 | |
something different will happen. | 0:01:38 | 0:01:41 | |
The moon will come between the earth and the sun. | 0:01:41 | 0:01:44 | |
The moon will block out the sun rays, which will cast a shadow over | 0:01:44 | 0:01:47 | |
the United States of America. | 0:01:47 | 0:01:50 | |
This will create a total solar eclipse. | 0:01:50 | 0:01:53 | |
It will happen over 14 states in the US, | 0:01:53 | 0:01:56 | |
from the west to the east coast, in the middle of the day. | 0:01:56 | 0:01:59 | |
It's a big deal because there hasn't been one there in 38 years. | 0:01:59 | 0:02:05 | |
And one like this, which goes from coast to coast, | 0:02:05 | 0:02:09 | |
hasn't happened in nearly 100 years. | 0:02:09 | 0:02:12 | |
Wowzer! | 0:02:12 | 0:02:14 | |
Millions of people are expected to watch it in the US | 0:02:14 | 0:02:17 | |
and they will be making sure they wear their special protective | 0:02:17 | 0:02:20 | |
glasses before looking up. | 0:02:20 | 0:02:24 | |
But don't feel left out - we will be able to see a small part | 0:02:24 | 0:02:28 | |
of the moon covering the sun from the UK. | 0:02:28 | 0:02:32 | |
And, of course, we'll be showing you exactly what's happening | 0:02:32 | 0:02:35 | |
in America here on Newsround. | 0:02:35 | 0:02:40 | |
To a country with lots of secrets, where children find it | 0:02:40 | 0:02:42 | |
impossible to go online, and getting information about what's | 0:02:42 | 0:02:45 | |
going on in the world is really difficult. | 0:02:45 | 0:02:48 | |
North Korea is in the news because of the arguments its government | 0:02:48 | 0:02:51 | |
is having with America. | 0:02:51 | 0:02:53 | |
So what is life like for children there? | 0:02:53 | 0:02:55 | |
Ayshah's been investigating. | 0:02:55 | 0:02:59 | |
This is what children in North Korea are watching at the moment. | 0:03:04 | 0:03:10 | |
It's a cartoon about a big fierce tiger getting beaten | 0:03:10 | 0:03:12 | |
by a small spiky hedgehog. | 0:03:12 | 0:03:17 | |
It was made by the North Korean government for children to watch. | 0:03:17 | 0:03:20 | |
It seems that the message they want to send to kids | 0:03:20 | 0:03:23 | |
is that the orange tiger is America and the brave hedgehog | 0:03:23 | 0:03:26 | |
is North Korea. | 0:03:26 | 0:03:29 | |
They want children to believe that their country is brave | 0:03:29 | 0:03:32 | |
and clever and that America is a nasty bully. | 0:03:32 | 0:03:37 | |
The leader of North Korea, Kim Jong-Un, controls all of this - | 0:03:37 | 0:03:42 | |
what children can see, what they hear and | 0:03:42 | 0:03:44 | |
what they can say. | 0:03:44 | 0:03:46 | |
Because North Korea is such a secret place, it's hard to know | 0:03:46 | 0:03:49 | |
what children living there think of cartoons like this. | 0:03:49 | 0:03:53 | |
But we can find out some things about their lives. | 0:03:53 | 0:03:56 | |
At school, pupils are taught a lot about their leader. | 0:03:56 | 0:04:01 | |
From an early age, they are told he is wonderful | 0:04:01 | 0:04:03 | |
and should always be praised. | 0:04:03 | 0:04:08 | |
And at the age of ten, all kids have to join | 0:04:08 | 0:04:11 | |
the Children's Union, where they sing songs about how | 0:04:11 | 0:04:14 | |
great the leader is. | 0:04:14 | 0:04:17 | |
And we know that life is hard for many children in North Korea - | 0:04:17 | 0:04:21 | |
last year, a report by the United Nations said that | 0:04:21 | 0:04:23 | |
many children weren't getting the food they need. | 0:04:23 | 0:04:28 | |
And although we know some things, we still don't know | 0:04:28 | 0:04:31 | |
what North Korean children really think about the leader | 0:04:31 | 0:04:34 | |
of this mysterious country. | 0:04:34 | 0:04:38 | |
And if you want to understand more about North Korea, | 0:04:43 | 0:04:46 | |
there's a Newsround guide online. | 0:04:46 | 0:04:49 | |
That's all from me, Newsround's back right here in about half an hour. | 0:04:49 | 0:04:52 | |
Don't forget to head online for the rest of the day's stories. | 0:04:52 | 0:04:54 | |
Right now, I am watching the finals at internationals. | 0:05:07 | 0:05:10 |
