Hello. You're watching Newsround with Hayley and Leah.

This is what is on the way. Farmers get the go ahead for

England's first badger cull. And battling polar winds, crevasses

and temperatures of minus 90, Ricky talks to Britain's top explorer

about his next big challenge. Where do you get your music from?

One of the biggest studies that has ever been carried out into music

downloading has found that millions of songs are being downloaded

illegally because people don't want to pay for them. A company called

Musicmetric looked at lots of data and have found there has a massive

increase in the amount of illegal downloading going on. The music

industry says it's losing lots of money because of it. So I've been

to find out more. With the likes of Jessie J and One Direction, Rihanna

and Ed Sheeran all over our radios and TV, the music industry looks

like its booming, but the amount of money people spend on buying music

has gone down and a report out today offers some clues as to why.

But the amount of money being spent on music is going down. Illegal

downloading and sharing music is a problem for the people who produce

and sell records. Already this year over 40 million albums and singles

have been illegally downloaded in the UK with the people in

Manchester being named asted big -- as the biggest culprits.

The music industry needs money to survive. This news hasn't been

welcomed by some of those behind the scenes.

It is about reinvesting within the industry itself. So spending more

money back on the artists that people want to enjoy more. If you

are into One Direction, The Wanted and you want to see them make more

music and better videos, you need to pay for the music properly.

not everyone agrees. Ed Sheeran's album last year was

illegally downloaded over 55,000 times a month. He says he is happy

it is reaching as many fans as people, even if he is not making

money from them. I sold 1.2 million albums and there is eight million

downloads illegally. Nine people have my record record in England

which is a nice feeling. The music industry is doing more

than ever to offer more legal ways to download music with stores like

iTunes and streaming services, but at the moment, it seems that's not

enough to stop people from trying to get their favourite tracks for

free. On the website, we've been asking

what you think about people who download music without paying for

Thank you very much, guys. And big changes are being made to

exams for 16-year-olds in England. GCSEs are being scrapped from

autumn 2015 and instead of modules and coursework, they will be

replaced by a single end of year Scary thinking about that already.

The first licence for a trial badger cull in England has been

given the go-ahead. It means mean some farmers and landowners will be

allowed kill the animals in West Gloucestershire where there are

higher levels of the disease. Animal welfare campaigners are

against the move which farmers say is necessary because badgers spread

a disease called Bovine TB to their Now, he's best known as the world's

greatest living explorer and today Sir Ranulph Fiennes told Ricky all

about his latest challenge. The 68- year-old will try and cross the

surface of Antarctica on foot during the continent's winter. With

hardly any sunlight, the team will have to rely on light from the moon

and cope with temperatures dipping to minus 90 Celsius. There's so

much at risk so can he succeed? It is the coldest place on earth

Antarctic ka ka is our southern most Continent. It is the setting

for Sir Ranulph Fiennes latest expedition, the coldest journey on

either. It is to do the first ever crossing of the Continent of

Antarctica. And darkness, blizzards and white outs, there is no rescue

facility on the Continent throughout the seven months of the

winter and we are doing it in winner.

Sir Ranulph Fiennes is no stranger to a challenge. He reached the

summit of Mount Everest. I can't walk any closer to the moon.

this expedition is different. Ranulph will be trying to cross in

winter when temperatures can get as low as minus 90 Celsius.

How dangerous will it be? Fuel freezes solid and you can end up

with nothing working at all. I've lost all the finger ends on one

hand. It takes off the tips of your

fingers? Not just the tips, it can be your toes or your nose. That's

all I have lost, an inch-and-a-half on those fingers. I am lucky I am

still alive. I can still do things with that hand. Our main rivals

have been the nor weegance and still -- Norwegians, but there is

only one really big polar record left and that's this one.

If you love the catwalk, you will know London Fashion Week is

underway. It is a chance for some of the biggest names in the

industry to show off the hottest designs. How do you make it big in

the world of fashion? Every year a handful of young designers are

chosen to take part. London Fashion Week is one of my

favourite times of year because I get to see the amazing new designs,

but how get from the sketch way to the runway? Well, I am at Kingston

University to find out. Dharl Charlie is an up and coming talent

and she has been asked to put on a show of her clothes at London

Fashion Week. When you were younger, were you interested in fashion?

grandma used to be a keen knitter. She used to teach me how to knit.

My family was arty and the two combined led me to fashion.

London is one of the biggest centres for fashion in the world

and fashion is really important in the capital's calendar. The most

famous names show case their work here like Stella McCartney, but it

is about finding new talent with some students getting the chance to

display their work every year. Are you nervous about having the press,

having fashion scouts see your collection? Yeah, but they are

going to be good nerves. I think just enjoy it.

If there are people watching that are really into design and fashion,

how should they start off? inspired by everything around you.

Draw every day if you can and just have fun with it. Don't get too

serious. Stick with your pens and get

designing. You could see your styles on a runway one day too.

Here a story to make your eyes water! The world's heaviest onion

has been grown in England. It weighs 18 pounds - that's more than

a stone. Peter Glazebook won a prize for growing the giant onion
