Hope you're having a great Wednesday afternoon. | 0:00:03 | 0:00:05 | |
I'm Ayshah with the latest stories just for you. | 0:00:05 | 0:00:08 | |
Coming up... | 0:00:08 | 0:00:10 | |
Everything you need to know about the Navy's biggest ship. | 0:00:10 | 0:00:13 | |
And what happens when an astronaut blows bubbles? | 0:00:13 | 0:00:19 | |
First up, what's as long as three football pitches, | 0:00:26 | 0:00:28 | |
taller than Nelson's column and weighs as much as 5,000 | 0:00:28 | 0:00:31 | |
double decker buses? | 0:00:31 | 0:00:33 | |
Well, Ricky's got the answer. | 0:00:33 | 0:00:37 | |
The UK has never seen a ship quite like the HMS Queen Elizabeth. | 0:00:39 | 0:00:45 | |
It's the biggest ship ever built for the Navy and will be used | 0:00:45 | 0:00:48 | |
to carry aircraft on voyages across the world. | 0:00:48 | 0:00:52 | |
This morning, it pulled into its new home in Portsmouth Harbour. | 0:00:52 | 0:00:56 | |
The BBC's Duncan Kennedy was there when it docked. | 0:00:56 | 0:01:00 | |
First of all, take a look at the runway. | 0:01:00 | 0:01:02 | |
Three football pitches long and can accommodate, | 0:01:02 | 0:01:04 | |
if you could park them here, 1,200 Minis. | 0:01:04 | 0:01:08 | |
You've also got two towers controlling it all. | 0:01:08 | 0:01:11 | |
That one there is where the captain sits and drives the ship, | 0:01:11 | 0:01:14 | |
and this one here on the right is where all the planes | 0:01:14 | 0:01:17 | |
are directed from. | 0:01:17 | 0:01:19 | |
The windscreen wipers on those windows alone are two | 0:01:19 | 0:01:21 | |
and a half metres long. | 0:01:21 | 0:01:23 | |
So let's have a closer look at the stats. | 0:01:23 | 0:01:27 | |
And for hungry sailors, there are enough ovens to bake 1,000 | 0:01:46 | 0:01:48 | |
bread loaves every day - which is good news for the 700 | 0:01:48 | 0:01:51 | |
people who'll be living on board. | 0:01:51 | 0:01:55 | |
But for now the HMS Queen Elizabeth will be staying put in Portsmouth, | 0:01:55 | 0:01:59 | |
where it will be based until the ship is ready | 0:01:59 | 0:02:02 | |
for action in six years' time. | 0:02:02 | 0:02:05 | |
Glad | 0:02:10 | 0:02:10 | |
Glad you | 0:02:10 | 0:02:10 | |
Glad you did | 0:02:10 | 0:02:10 | |
Glad you did that | 0:02:10 | 0:02:11 | |
Glad you did that measurement | 0:02:11 | 0:02:11 | |
Glad you did that measurement in | 0:02:11 | 0:02:11 | |
Glad you did that measurement in elephant! | 0:02:11 | 0:02:13 | |
And it's a big night for Celtic fans as their team play for a place | 0:02:13 | 0:02:16 | |
in the Champions League. | 0:02:16 | 0:02:17 | |
They have to beat the Kazak team Astana to get into the group | 0:02:17 | 0:02:20 | |
stages of the competition. | 0:02:20 | 0:02:22 | |
The good news is they beat Astana in the Champions League last year. | 0:02:22 | 0:02:25 | |
Next to a country with lots of secrets, where children find it | 0:02:25 | 0:02:28 | |
impossible to go online, and getting information about what's | 0:02:28 | 0:02:30 | |
going on in the world is really difficult. | 0:02:30 | 0:02:32 | |
North Korea is in the news because of the arguments its government | 0:02:32 | 0:02:35 | |
is having with America. | 0:02:35 | 0:02:38 | |
So what is life like for children there? | 0:02:38 | 0:02:42 | |
This is what children in North Korea are watching at the moment. | 0:02:48 | 0:02:54 | |
It's a cartoon about a big fierce tiger getting beaten | 0:02:54 | 0:02:57 | |
by a small spiky hedgehog. | 0:02:57 | 0:03:01 | |
It was made by the North Korean government for children to watch. | 0:03:01 | 0:03:04 | |
It seems that the message they want to send to kids | 0:03:04 | 0:03:07 | |
is that the orange tiger is America and the brave hedgehog | 0:03:07 | 0:03:10 | |
is North Korea. | 0:03:10 | 0:03:12 | |
They want children to believe that their country is brave | 0:03:12 | 0:03:15 | |
and clever and that America is a nasty bully. | 0:03:15 | 0:03:21 | |
The leader of North Korea, Kim Jong-Un, controls all of this - | 0:03:21 | 0:03:24 | |
what children can see, what they hear and | 0:03:24 | 0:03:26 | |
what they can say. | 0:03:26 | 0:03:29 | |
Because North Korea is such a secret place, it's hard to know | 0:03:29 | 0:03:32 | |
what children living there think of cartoons like this. | 0:03:32 | 0:03:36 | |
But we can find out some things about their lives. | 0:03:36 | 0:03:42 | |
At school, pupils are taught a lot about their leader. | 0:03:42 | 0:03:45 | |
From an early age, they are told he is wonderful | 0:03:45 | 0:03:47 | |
and should always be praised. | 0:03:47 | 0:03:52 | |
And at the age of ten, all kids have to join | 0:03:53 | 0:03:55 | |
the Children's Union, where they sing songs about how | 0:03:55 | 0:03:57 | |
great the leader is. | 0:03:57 | 0:04:01 | |
And we know that life is hard for many children in North Korea - | 0:04:01 | 0:04:04 | |
last year, a report by the United Nations said that | 0:04:04 | 0:04:06 | |
many children weren't getting the food they need. | 0:04:06 | 0:04:11 | |
And although we know some things, we still don't know | 0:04:11 | 0:04:14 | |
what North Korean children really think about the leader | 0:04:14 | 0:04:16 | |
of this mysterious country. | 0:04:16 | 0:04:22 | |
And if you want to understand more about North Korea, | 0:04:27 | 0:04:29 | |
there's a Newsround guide online. | 0:04:29 | 0:04:33 | |
Last up, to the International Space Station where astronaut Jack Fischer | 0:04:33 | 0:04:35 | |
has been finding out what happens to liquids in space. | 0:04:35 | 0:04:39 | |
As he blows air into the bottle, the lack of gravity makes the water | 0:04:39 | 0:04:43 | |
come out as a massive bubble around his face! | 0:04:43 | 0:04:47 | |
Hope he's got a cloth to clean all that up with! | 0:04:47 | 0:04:50 | |
Messy boy! | 0:04:50 | 0:04:52 | |
Ricky will have Thursday morning's stories for you, | 0:04:52 | 0:04:54 | |
right here at 7:40am. | 0:04:54 | 0:04:56 | |
Join us then. | 0:04:56 | 0:04:59 | |
Have you got a super skill or hidden talent? | 0:05:03 | 0:05:05 | |
Perhaps you're a super-fan of a pop star or celeb? | 0:05:05 | 0:05:07 | |
Oh, maybe you'd love to get your own back on a friend or family member. | 0:05:07 | 0:05:11 | |
Or give someone the best day of their life. | 0:05:11 | 0:05:14 | |
Are you nodding at the telly right now? | 0:05:14 | 0:05:16 |
