0:00:03 > 0:00:05Hope you're having a great Wednesday afternoon.

0:00:05 > 0:00:08I'm Ayshah with the latest stories just for you.

0:00:08 > 0:00:10Coming up...

0:00:10 > 0:00:13Everything you need to know about the Navy's biggest ship.

0:00:13 > 0:00:19And what happens when an astronaut blows bubbles?

0:00:26 > 0:00:28First up, what's as long as three football pitches,

0:00:28 > 0:00:31taller than Nelson's column and weighs as much as 5,000

0:00:31 > 0:00:33double decker buses?

0:00:33 > 0:00:37Well, Ricky's got the answer.

0:00:39 > 0:00:45The UK has never seen a ship quite like the HMS Queen Elizabeth.

0:00:45 > 0:00:48It's the biggest ship ever built for the Navy and will be used

0:00:48 > 0:00:52to carry aircraft on voyages across the world.

0:00:52 > 0:00:56This morning, it pulled into its new home in Portsmouth Harbour.

0:00:56 > 0:01:00The BBC's Duncan Kennedy was there when it docked.

0:01:00 > 0:01:02First of all, take a look at the runway.

0:01:02 > 0:01:04Three football pitches long and can accommodate,

0:01:04 > 0:01:08if you could park them here, 1,200 Minis.

0:01:08 > 0:01:11You've also got two towers controlling it all.

0:01:11 > 0:01:14That one there is where the captain sits and drives the ship,

0:01:14 > 0:01:17and this one here on the right is where all the planes

0:01:17 > 0:01:19are directed from.

0:01:19 > 0:01:21The windscreen wipers on those windows alone are two

0:01:21 > 0:01:23and a half metres long.

0:01:23 > 0:01:27So let's have a closer look at the stats.

0:01:46 > 0:01:48And for hungry sailors, there are enough ovens to bake 1,000

0:01:48 > 0:01:51bread loaves every day - which is good news for the 700

0:01:51 > 0:01:55people who'll be living on board.

0:01:55 > 0:01:59But for now the HMS Queen Elizabeth will be staying put in Portsmouth,

0:01:59 > 0:02:02where it will be based until the ship is ready

0:02:02 > 0:02:05for action in six years' time.

0:02:10 > 0:02:10Glad

0:02:10 > 0:02:10Glad you

0:02:10 > 0:02:10Glad you did

0:02:10 > 0:02:11Glad you did that

0:02:11 > 0:02:11Glad you did that measurement

0:02:11 > 0:02:11Glad you did that measurement in

0:02:11 > 0:02:13Glad you did that measurement in elephant!

0:02:13 > 0:02:16And it's a big night for Celtic fans as their team play for a place

0:02:16 > 0:02:17in the Champions League.

0:02:17 > 0:02:20They have to beat the Kazak team Astana to get into the group

0:02:20 > 0:02:22stages of the competition.

0:02:22 > 0:02:25The good news is they beat Astana in the Champions League last year.

0:02:25 > 0:02:28Next to a country with lots of secrets, where children find it

0:02:28 > 0:02:30impossible to go online, and getting information about what's

0:02:30 > 0:02:32going on in the world is really difficult.

0:02:32 > 0:02:35North Korea is in the news because of the arguments its government

0:02:35 > 0:02:38is having with America.

0:02:38 > 0:02:42So what is life like for children there?

0:02:48 > 0:02:54This is what children in North Korea are watching at the moment.

0:02:54 > 0:02:57It's a cartoon about a big fierce tiger getting beaten

0:02:57 > 0:03:01by a small spiky hedgehog.

0:03:01 > 0:03:04It was made by the North Korean government for children to watch.

0:03:04 > 0:03:07It seems that the message they want to send to kids

0:03:07 > 0:03:10is that the orange tiger is America and the brave hedgehog

0:03:10 > 0:03:12is North Korea.

0:03:12 > 0:03:15They want children to believe that their country is brave

0:03:15 > 0:03:21and clever and that America is a nasty bully.

0:03:21 > 0:03:24The leader of North Korea, Kim Jong-Un, controls all of this -

0:03:24 > 0:03:26what children can see, what they hear and

0:03:26 > 0:03:29what they can say.

0:03:29 > 0:03:32Because North Korea is such a secret place, it's hard to know

0:03:32 > 0:03:36what children living there think of cartoons like this.

0:03:36 > 0:03:42But we can find out some things about their lives.

0:03:42 > 0:03:45At school, pupils are taught a lot about their leader.

0:03:45 > 0:03:47From an early age, they are told he is wonderful

0:03:47 > 0:03:52and should always be praised.

0:03:53 > 0:03:55And at the age of ten, all kids have to join

0:03:55 > 0:03:57the Children's Union, where they sing songs about how

0:03:57 > 0:04:01great the leader is.

0:04:01 > 0:04:04And we know that life is hard for many children in North Korea -

0:04:04 > 0:04:06last year, a report by the United Nations said that

0:04:06 > 0:04:11many children weren't getting the food they need.

0:04:11 > 0:04:14And although we know some things, we still don't know

0:04:14 > 0:04:16what North Korean children really think about the leader

0:04:16 > 0:04:22of this mysterious country.

0:04:27 > 0:04:29And if you want to understand more about North Korea,

0:04:29 > 0:04:33there's a Newsround guide online.

0:04:33 > 0:04:35Last up, to the International Space Station where astronaut Jack Fischer

0:04:35 > 0:04:39has been finding out what happens to liquids in space.

0:04:39 > 0:04:43As he blows air into the bottle, the lack of gravity makes the water

0:04:43 > 0:04:47come out as a massive bubble around his face!

0:04:47 > 0:04:50Hope he's got a cloth to clean all that up with!

0:04:50 > 0:04:52Messy boy!

0:04:52 > 0:04:54Ricky will have Thursday morning's stories for you,

0:04:54 > 0:04:56right here at 7:40am.

0:04:56 > 0:04:59Join us then.

0:05:03 > 0:05:05Have you got a super skill or hidden talent?

0:05:05 > 0:05:07Perhaps you're a super-fan of a pop star or celeb?

0:05:07 > 0:05:11Oh, maybe you'd love to get your own back on a friend or family member.

0:05:11 > 0:05:14Or give someone the best day of their life.

0:05:14 > 0:05:16Are you nodding at the telly right now?
