Hope you're having a great Wednesday afternoon.

0:00:030:00:05

I'm Ayshah with the latest stories just for you.

0:00:050:00:08

Coming up...

0:00:080:00:10

Everything you need to know about the Navy's biggest ship.

0:00:100:00:13

And what happens when an astronaut blows bubbles?

0:00:130:00:19

First up, what's as long as three football pitches,

0:00:260:00:28

taller than Nelson's column and weighs as much as 5,000

0:00:280:00:31

double decker buses?

0:00:310:00:33

Well, Ricky's got the answer.

0:00:330:00:37

The UK has never seen a ship quite like the HMS Queen Elizabeth.

0:00:390:00:45

It's the biggest ship ever built for the Navy and will be used

0:00:450:00:48

to carry aircraft on voyages across the world.

0:00:480:00:52

This morning, it pulled into its new home in Portsmouth Harbour.

0:00:520:00:56

The BBC's Duncan Kennedy was there when it docked.

0:00:560:01:00

First of all, take a look at the runway.

0:01:000:01:02

Three football pitches long and can accommodate,

0:01:020:01:04

if you could park them here, 1,200 Minis.

0:01:040:01:08

You've also got two towers controlling it all.

0:01:080:01:11

That one there is where the captain sits and drives the ship,

0:01:110:01:14

and this one here on the right is where all the planes

0:01:140:01:17

are directed from.

0:01:170:01:19

The windscreen wipers on those windows alone are two

0:01:190:01:21

and a half metres long.

0:01:210:01:23

So let's have a closer look at the stats.

0:01:230:01:27

And for hungry sailors, there are enough ovens to bake 1,000

0:01:460:01:48

bread loaves every day - which is good news for the 700

0:01:480:01:51

people who'll be living on board.

0:01:510:01:55

But for now the HMS Queen Elizabeth will be staying put in Portsmouth,

0:01:550:01:59

where it will be based until the ship is ready

0:01:590:02:02

for action in six years' time.

0:02:020:02:05

Glad

0:02:100:02:10

Glad you

0:02:100:02:10

Glad you did

0:02:100:02:10

Glad you did that

0:02:100:02:11

Glad you did that measurement

0:02:110:02:11

Glad you did that measurement in

0:02:110:02:11

Glad you did that measurement in elephant!

0:02:110:02:13

And it's a big night for Celtic fans as their team play for a place

0:02:130:02:16

in the Champions League.

0:02:160:02:17

They have to beat the Kazak team Astana to get into the group

0:02:170:02:20

stages of the competition.

0:02:200:02:22

The good news is they beat Astana in the Champions League last year.

0:02:220:02:25

Next to a country with lots of secrets, where children find it

0:02:250:02:28

impossible to go online, and getting information about what's

0:02:280:02:30

going on in the world is really difficult.

0:02:300:02:32

North Korea is in the news because of the arguments its government

0:02:320:02:35

is having with America.

0:02:350:02:38

So what is life like for children there?

0:02:380:02:42

This is what children in North Korea are watching at the moment.

0:02:480:02:54

It's a cartoon about a big fierce tiger getting beaten

0:02:540:02:57

by a small spiky hedgehog.

0:02:570:03:01

It was made by the North Korean government for children to watch.

0:03:010:03:04

It seems that the message they want to send to kids

0:03:040:03:07

is that the orange tiger is America and the brave hedgehog

0:03:070:03:10

is North Korea.

0:03:100:03:12

They want children to believe that their country is brave

0:03:120:03:15

and clever and that America is a nasty bully.

0:03:150:03:21

The leader of North Korea, Kim Jong-Un, controls all of this -

0:03:210:03:24

what children can see, what they hear and

0:03:240:03:26

what they can say.

0:03:260:03:29

Because North Korea is such a secret place, it's hard to know

0:03:290:03:32

what children living there think of cartoons like this.

0:03:320:03:36

But we can find out some things about their lives.

0:03:360:03:42

At school, pupils are taught a lot about their leader.

0:03:420:03:45

From an early age, they are told he is wonderful

0:03:450:03:47

and should always be praised.

0:03:470:03:52

And at the age of ten, all kids have to join

0:03:530:03:55

the Children's Union, where they sing songs about how

0:03:550:03:57

great the leader is.

0:03:570:04:01

And we know that life is hard for many children in North Korea -

0:04:010:04:04

last year, a report by the United Nations said that

0:04:040:04:06

many children weren't getting the food they need.

0:04:060:04:11

And although we know some things, we still don't know

0:04:110:04:14

what North Korean children really think about the leader

0:04:140:04:16

of this mysterious country.

0:04:160:04:22

And if you want to understand more about North Korea,

0:04:270:04:29

there's a Newsround guide online.

0:04:290:04:33

Last up, to the International Space Station where astronaut Jack Fischer

0:04:330:04:35

has been finding out what happens to liquids in space.

0:04:350:04:39

As he blows air into the bottle, the lack of gravity makes the water

0:04:390:04:43

come out as a massive bubble around his face!

0:04:430:04:47

Hope he's got a cloth to clean all that up with!

0:04:470:04:50

Messy boy!

0:04:500:04:52

Ricky will have Thursday morning's stories for you,
