:00:00. > :00:13.You're live with CBBC this Tuesday morning. I'm Leah. Coming up on
:00:14. > :00:18.Newsround: The giant jumping fish invasion in America. And: I'm
:00:19. > :00:21.Jacqueline Wilson, and stay tuned, because I'm going to be answering
:00:22. > :00:36.your questions later in the programme!
:00:37. > :00:42.Let's start with a Winter Olympics whether curling team have kept their
:00:43. > :00:47.dreams alive. Dave Murdoch won the match with his final shot. It means
:00:48. > :00:50.they face Sweden in the semifinals tomorrow, and they join the British
:00:51. > :00:56.women, who qualified yesterday and have a tough semifinal against
:00:57. > :01:00.Canada. It's tremendous. It's so great that this team to get into the
:01:01. > :01:03.semifinals. We had great support all week, and the guys have had a
:01:04. > :01:10.fantastic game. The standard was incredible. We've made the
:01:11. > :01:16.semifinals of the Olympics and we have to take the positives and go on
:01:17. > :01:19.tomorrow. And later this morning Team GB's speed skating star Elise
:01:20. > :01:22.Christie will be hoping to turn around what's been a disastrous
:01:23. > :01:25.games for her so far. After being disqualified in the 500 metre event
:01:26. > :01:29.last week, she was penalised again over the weekend for narrowly
:01:30. > :01:32.missing the finish line in the 1,500 metres. From 9:30am this morning,
:01:33. > :01:37.she'll compete in the heats for her best event, the 1,000 metres. And
:01:38. > :01:40.after winning her historic bronze medal, Britain's first medal on
:01:41. > :01:45.snow, Jenny Jones is back on home soil. She joined us on the sofa 30
:01:46. > :01:48.minutes ago. Don't worry if you missed it, you can put your
:01:49. > :02:00.questions to Jenny if you head to the website. The first time in a
:02:01. > :02:03.while, we can say there are no storm warnings. Floods are still causing
:02:04. > :02:06.problems across England, but the number of severe flood warnings,
:02:07. > :02:14.meaning a risk to life, has gone to just two. Now to Jacqueline Wilson
:02:15. > :02:17.answering your questions. You'll know her for creating CBBC favourite
:02:18. > :02:20.Tracy Beaker. Her recent book Hetty Feather is being made into a play,
:02:21. > :02:23.and despite being busy with releasing another children's novel
:02:24. > :02:26.she still had time to catch up with Nel. We have a question here from
:02:27. > :02:30.Anna from Richmond who wants to know which of all of your books is your
:02:31. > :02:35.absolute favourite. I think it would be Hetty Feather. Because it was a
:02:36. > :02:39.real treat for me to write the book, and I was so thrilled when she
:02:40. > :02:49.became a very popular character with children. How long does it take to
:02:50. > :02:53.write a book. It generally on average takes about six months, but
:02:54. > :02:56.if you try copying out the first chapter of a favourite book, you
:02:57. > :03:03.find out how long it takes, unfortunately. Another question is
:03:04. > :03:09.what made you want to become a writer. That is from Jessica in
:03:10. > :03:12.London. It was when I realised that the name on the spine of the book
:03:13. > :03:17.was an author who had a job to sit and write books all day, I thought
:03:18. > :03:21.that was the me. We have a question from the whole of year five from
:03:22. > :03:24.Holden primary School in Ashton under Lyne. Do you have a special
:03:25. > :03:30.boy -- place where you write books or can you write anywhere? Well,
:03:31. > :03:35.year five, I like to ride early in the morning on upstairs. I have a
:03:36. > :03:41.lovely, pink chaise-longue, so why lie in my pyjamas, and if I'm lucky,
:03:42. > :03:45.one of my gorgeous cats comes and keeps me company and curls up by my
:03:46. > :03:51.feet and I write with a pen in a notebook for about an hour. Footie
:03:52. > :03:54.now, and this guy, Sergio Aguero, won't play for Manchester City
:03:55. > :03:57.tonight in their Champions League clash with Barcelona. He's been out
:03:58. > :04:01.for three weeks with a hamstring injury. City go into this game on
:04:02. > :04:04.the back of Saturday's 2-0 FA Cup win over Chelsea. And City boss
:04:05. > :04:15.Manuel Pellegrini says he's not scared of Barca. It's a very
:04:16. > :04:19.important game to continue having the style of play, to have the
:04:20. > :04:23.personality to beat Barcelona, but you cannot play without considering
:04:24. > :04:26.that you have Lionel Messi and other important players. But we are not
:04:27. > :04:33.going to play just thinking about defending. Last up, to the giant
:04:34. > :04:36.jumping fish invasion in America! These Asian carp have infested the
:04:37. > :04:40.Mississippi River which leads to the famous Great Lakes. The fish are
:04:41. > :04:43.more than a metre long and have been pushing out native species. They
:04:44. > :04:46.leap out of the water and can smash into boats, sometimes injuring
:04:47. > :04:49.people. Officials are now thinking about spending billions of pounds
:04:50. > :04:51.blocking the canal system in Chicago, to stop the fish from
:04:52. > :04:57.getting into Lake Michigan. That's all from me, Newsround's back
:04:58. > :05:01.right here in about half an hour.
