Hey, morning, everyone. | 0:00:03 | 0:00:04 | |
Leah here with today's Newsround. | 0:00:04 | 0:00:07 | |
Coming up: | 0:00:07 | 0:00:08 | |
The weeds taking over homes in rural Australia. | 0:00:08 | 0:00:12 | |
The wonky veg that's finally making it into our supermarkets. | 0:00:12 | 0:00:20 | |
First, a lot of you might be sitting next to your brothers and sisters | 0:00:26 | 0:00:29 | |
right now having breakfast but can you imagine not having any | 0:00:29 | 0:00:33 | |
at all because it wasn't allowed in the country where you live? | 0:00:33 | 0:00:36 | |
Well, that's what life has been like in China for the past 40 years | 0:00:36 | 0:00:39 | |
- but now there's a big change. | 0:00:39 | 0:00:49 | |
All these schoolkids in China have something pretty big in common, | 0:00:51 | 0:00:53 | |
they are all only children. | 0:00:53 | 0:00:57 | |
For some of them that might change soon. | 0:00:57 | 0:00:59 | |
For the past 40 years the Chinese Government | 0:00:59 | 0:01:01 | |
have only allowed couples to have one child. | 0:01:01 | 0:01:03 | |
They made the decision because the number of the people | 0:01:03 | 0:01:05 | |
living in the country was growing too quickly and families were having | 0:01:05 | 0:01:08 | |
lots of children. | 0:01:08 | 0:01:09 | |
Because the country was poorer back then, the Government | 0:01:09 | 0:01:12 | |
was worried there would not be enough food to go around. | 0:01:12 | 0:01:15 | |
On New Year's Day this year the law changed. | 0:01:15 | 0:01:18 | |
Families are now allowed to have a second baby | 0:01:18 | 0:01:20 | |
if they want to. | 0:01:20 | 0:01:23 | |
Lee Ying is 12 years old and now thinking | 0:01:23 | 0:01:26 | |
about whether she will have a brother or sister. | 0:01:26 | 0:01:31 | |
TRANSLATION: There are three people in my family. | 0:01:31 | 0:01:33 | |
That is my father, mother and me. | 0:01:33 | 0:01:37 | |
I am a so-called one child in the family. | 0:01:37 | 0:01:40 | |
Most of my friends and classmates around me are like me, | 0:01:40 | 0:01:46 | |
they are the only child in their families. | 0:01:46 | 0:01:49 | |
I feel pretty good to be the only child in the family but personally | 0:01:49 | 0:01:52 | |
I would like to have a brother. | 0:01:52 | 0:01:54 | |
The Government changed the law because | 0:01:54 | 0:01:58 | |
there were a lot of elderly people in China and they were worried | 0:01:58 | 0:02:01 | |
they would not be enough younger people | 0:02:01 | 0:02:03 | |
to do all the jobs in the future. | 0:02:03 | 0:02:08 | |
Now lots of mums and dads are thinking about having a | 0:02:08 | 0:02:11 | |
second child. | 0:02:11 | 0:02:12 | |
Because me and my husband were single kids in family | 0:02:12 | 0:02:14 | |
and we want more kids to have the experience of having | 0:02:14 | 0:02:17 | |
a brother and sister. | 0:02:17 | 0:02:20 | |
For so many children in China might have a brother or sister | 0:02:20 | 0:02:22 | |
to share things with in the future. | 0:02:22 | 0:02:24 | |
Now to Peru's Amazon region in South America where emergency | 0:02:24 | 0:02:27 | |
teams are working to contain an oil spill. | 0:02:27 | 0:02:29 | |
There are worries it could affect the local water supply for people | 0:02:29 | 0:02:31 | |
living close to the boarder with Ecuador. | 0:02:31 | 0:02:40 | |
It's thought a pipe burst and at least 3000 barrels | 0:02:40 | 0:02:42 | |
of oil has leaked into the water. | 0:02:42 | 0:02:44 | |
The country's president says the company responsible | 0:02:44 | 0:02:46 | |
could face a heavy fine. | 0:02:46 | 0:02:47 | |
To Italy now where divers have discovered the relict | 0:02:47 | 0:02:49 | |
of a World War Two plane lying on the seabed nine miles off | 0:02:49 | 0:02:52 | |
the Sicilian coast. | 0:02:52 | 0:02:55 | |
The team took pictures of the plane and experts believe the aircraft | 0:02:55 | 0:02:58 | |
was shot down in 1942 by the British Army. | 0:02:58 | 0:03:01 | |
Now, a question for you this morning. | 0:03:01 | 0:03:03 | |
Would you eat wonky vegetables? | 0:03:03 | 0:03:06 | |
Well, some shoppers do prefer more perfect fruits and veg | 0:03:06 | 0:03:10 | |
but a trial by one supermarket found that lots of customers are now happy | 0:03:10 | 0:03:13 | |
to buy lumpy, bumpy and curved vegetables. | 0:03:13 | 0:03:17 | |
I think it's a brilliant idea because lots of these are getting | 0:03:17 | 0:03:20 | |
thrown away. | 0:03:20 | 0:03:21 | |
It's a good idea, isn't it? | 0:03:21 | 0:03:22 | |
Don't they look funny? | 0:03:22 | 0:03:28 | |
No. | 0:03:28 | 0:03:29 | |
Definitely, yes. | 0:03:29 | 0:03:31 | |
I think there is a character to it. | 0:03:31 | 0:03:41 | |
So we want to know if you'd eat wonky veg or not or do you prefer | 0:03:41 | 0:03:45 | |
straight sided fruits and vegetables. | 0:03:45 | 0:03:46 | |
Go online and let us know. | 0:03:46 | 0:03:47 | |
Lets look at some sport now and Wayne Rooney won't be playing | 0:03:47 | 0:03:50 | |
any football until after Easter because of a knee injury. | 0:03:50 | 0:03:54 | |
That's a real blow for Manchester United BUT the England | 0:03:54 | 0:03:58 | |
captain should be available for Euro 2016 which starts in June. | 0:03:58 | 0:04:03 | |

Lots of houses in rural Australia have been invaded by a strange form | 0:04:24 | 0:04:27 | |
of weed called 'Hairy Panic.' | 0:04:27 | 0:04:28 | |
It's clogged up homes | 0:04:28 | 0:04:30 | |
in the town of Wangaratta in Victoria. | 0:04:30 | 0:04:33 | |
People have had to spend hours clearing the weeds. | 0:04:33 | 0:04:38 | |
A nearby farmer has been blamed for not looking after his fields. | 0:04:38 | 0:04:43 | |
