:00:22. > :00:25.Evening all. It's Friday. weekend is here. And it's time for

:00:25. > :00:29.Newsround! We're Ricky and Leah. Here's what's coming up. It might

:00:29. > :00:36.look like just a boring old park gate, but find out why it has got

:00:36. > :00:39.lots of children very, very excited. And the great gorilla invasion!

:00:39. > :00:42.But first to a desperate rescue mission that's been going on in

:00:42. > :00:45.Wales since yesterday morning. A group of men became trapped

:00:45. > :00:51.underground when the coal mine they were working in flooded, blocking

:00:51. > :00:54.their way out. Luckily some of the group managed to escape, but one is

:00:54. > :01:01.still trapped. Another three have sadly died. Emergency workers say

:01:01. > :01:05.they are doing everything they can From the sky you can hardly see the

:01:05. > :01:09.entrance to the mine. It is crowded with rescue workers desperate to

:01:09. > :01:12.reach the man inside. This is a drift mine which means you can walk

:01:12. > :01:17.straight into it, unlike other mines you may know about where you

:01:17. > :01:23.have to travel underground. The miner is stuck 0 meters into the

:01:23. > :01:29.tunnel. His way out is blocked by by floodwater. Off that little mine

:01:29. > :01:35.shaft, there are numerous little tunnels, old workings which all

:01:35. > :01:39.potentially have air pockets in. So they are experienced miners. They

:01:39. > :01:44.know the layout of the mine. They know where to go in this situation.

:01:44. > :01:49.Emergency workers are trying to pump the water out of the mine and

:01:49. > :01:53.they are using special listening equipment.

:01:53. > :01:58.There are only a few mines like this left in South Wales. Inside it

:01:58. > :02:03.is it is dark and cramped. The men are mining for a special type of

:02:04. > :02:08.coal, using shovels to get it out of the ground. It is dangerous work,

:02:08. > :02:12.thousands of miners die around the world in accidents. In the UK just

:02:12. > :02:16.ten miners have been killed in accidents since 2006 and rescue

:02:16. > :02:24.workers say they won't give up until they find the last miner. But

:02:24. > :02:27.for his relatives above ground, it And if any stories you hear on the

:02:27. > :02:30.news upset you, there's lots of info and advice on the Newsround

:02:30. > :02:32.website. Now, scientists have made another

:02:32. > :02:35.amazing dinosaur discovery. They've found perfect feathers from

:02:35. > :02:38.dinosaurs that lived around 70 million years ago.

:02:38. > :02:40.They're in such good condition because they were preserved in

:02:41. > :02:43.fossilised tree resin called amber. Scientists reckon it means many of

:02:43. > :02:50.the most fearsome, meat-eating dinosaurs might actually have been

:02:50. > :02:53.covered in feathers which kept them warm.

:02:53. > :02:56.Now for 17 years one park in Northern Ireland has been divided.

:02:56. > :02:58.A huge wall was built down the middle to stop Protestants and

:02:58. > :03:01.Catholics from clashing. There has been trouble in Belfast for many

:03:01. > :03:11.years and the 3.5 metre high fence stopped children from sharing the

:03:11. > :03:11.

:03:12. > :03:15.same play areas, but from today Five, four, three, two, one, yes!

:03:16. > :03:20.This was the moment everything changed. Catholic and Protestant

:03:20. > :03:25.children running through a new gate in a fence that separated their

:03:25. > :03:30.park for years. Alexandra Park in North Belfast might look like any

:03:30. > :03:35.park, but it has has a steel fence running through the middle of it.

:03:35. > :03:39.In the past there used to be lots of violent clashes between

:03:39. > :03:45.Catholics and Protestants so the fence was built in the 1990s to try

:03:45. > :03:51.to stop the fighting. That meant there had to be two separate

:03:51. > :03:55.playgrounds, one for Catholics and another for for prod standards.

:03:55. > :03:58.Since then -- Protestants. Since then lots of people have been

:03:58. > :04:01.working hard to get on better and now a gate has been put into the

:04:02. > :04:05.centre of the fence for people to get through. Today it was opened

:04:05. > :04:08.for the first time as part of a three month trial. These children

:04:08. > :04:11.were among the first to go through. It is a new chance to make new

:04:11. > :04:15.friends and then we can play together.

:04:15. > :04:18.You can play with other friends from this side and you can like

:04:18. > :04:22.call for them and all and take them to the park and show them around

:04:22. > :04:26.the park and all. It will only be open for a few

:04:26. > :04:30.hours a day during the week, but people can come and go as they like.

:04:30. > :04:33.There are 49 different peace walls in parts of Belfast. Most have been

:04:33. > :04:43.there for decades, but if the trial at Alexandra Park works, it could

:04:43. > :04:47.be the first step to the peace If you want to know more, head over

:04:47. > :04:49.to the Newsround website. Now, check these guys out. These

:04:50. > :04:52.amazing life-size gorilla statues have been put along the banks of

:04:52. > :04:55.the River Thames in London and they're certainly brightening the

:04:55. > :04:58.place up. They've just been moved after spending the summer in

:04:58. > :05:01.Bristol. But they're not just there to look

:05:01. > :05:06.cool. They'll eventually be auctioned off and the money will go

:05:06. > :05:09.towards charities which help gorillas in the wild. Now, what

:05:09. > :05:12.makes you happy? Playing with your mates? Going on holiday? Getting

:05:12. > :05:18.your hands on a shiny gadget? Well, one charity says they know

:05:18. > :05:20.what makes you feel good and it's not what you would expect. UNICEF

:05:20. > :05:24.asked hundreds of kids from different countries including

:05:24. > :05:28.Britain what makes them happy. Many children here said it wasn't things

:05:28. > :05:32.like being bought the best games consoles or mobile phones, it was

:05:32. > :05:35.something much more simple - spending time with their mum and

:05:36. > :05:39.dad. But many found their parents are too tired to play with them

:05:39. > :05:44.after getting home from a long day at work. It is very different to

:05:44. > :05:48.how children in Spain and Sweden answered. In these two countries,

:05:48. > :05:51.kids seemed to spend more time with their families.

:05:51. > :05:59.And we've been asking kids in sunny Spain why spending time with their

:05:59. > :06:02.parents makes them so happy. playing with my mum and daddy makes

:06:02. > :06:08.me most happy. I like spending time with my

:06:08. > :06:15.parents because when they come back from work they make me a sand

:06:16. > :06:19.sandwich. They love me a lot and lot and lot and lot and lot and lot.

:06:19. > :06:22.You guys have been in touch about this. Sian from London says she

:06:22. > :06:27.would rather hang out with family than friends, but her mum and dad

:06:27. > :06:30.are often busy working. Soph from Beccles wrote in to say

:06:30. > :06:32.she doesn't see much of her dad, but gets to spend loads of time

:06:32. > :06:36.with her mum. Carys who's from Llanelli says

:06:36. > :06:38.she's going to spend lots of time with her mum soon because they're

:06:38. > :06:41.off on holiday where they'll hang out together.

:06:41. > :06:45.And Claudia, all the way from Indonesia's been in touch to say

:06:45. > :06:47.her parents are always very busy and she'd like to see them more.

:06:47. > :06:50.Thanks for your comments. Keep them coming in.

:06:50. > :06:53.And before we go, ever wondered what it would be like to live in

:06:53. > :06:56.someone else's shoes? Here at Newsround we're looking for kids

:06:56. > :06:59.and their families to take part in a special TV programme exploring

:06:59. > :07:01.how people who live right next to each other can live really

:07:02. > :07:11.different lives. If you're between 11 and 13 and
