It's Tuesday, I'm Ayshah, and we've got the biggest stories you need to | :00:00. | :00:10. | |
know this afternoon. On the way: Big news on how scientists think the | :00:11. | :00:17. | |
universe started. Great Britain's Paralympic team meet the Prime | :00:18. | :00:20. | |
Minister. This is Newsround. First up, how did the universe start? It's | :00:21. | :00:25. | |
a huge question and one that scientists have spent years trying | :00:26. | :00:29. | |
to answer. Now, a group of American scientists think they have found | :00:30. | :00:32. | |
evidence that could help us find out how it all began. Nel's got more. | :00:33. | :00:37. | |
It's one of the biggest questions ever, how did the universe begin? | :00:38. | :00:55. | |
Well, one idea is the Big Bang theory, a massive explosion occurred | :00:56. | :00:58. | |
almost 14 billion years ago creating the universe. Some scientists think | :00:59. | :01:01. | |
this bang was so big that the universe expanded very quickly, | :01:02. | :01:04. | |
stretching and squeezing space as it grew and putting a twist on the | :01:05. | :01:08. | |
light created at that moment. Scientists in America used a | :01:09. | :01:12. | |
telescope based in the South Pole where the skies are crystal clear. | :01:13. | :01:19. | |
It's the left over light from the Big Bang itself. By looking at it | :01:20. | :01:23. | |
carefully, they have been able to see the pattern in it that gives | :01:24. | :01:28. | |
away with a was happening in the universe a trillionth a trillionth | :01:29. | :01:35. | |
of a secretary after the universe began after the Big Bang. What does | :01:36. | :01:38. | |
it mean for scientists like yourself? It is the first bit of | :01:39. | :01:44. | |
evidence to show we really do understand where the Big Bang came | :01:45. | :01:55. | |
from. The Big Bang theory is just one of many ideas about how the | :01:56. | :01:59. | |
universe came into being. There are still loads of questions to be | :02:00. | :02:01. | |
answered about this one, but scientists hope it could be a step | :02:02. | :02:05. | |
in answering one of the biggest questions of all time. Next, Great | :02:06. | :02:08. | |
Britain's Winter Paralympic team have spent the day showing off their | :02:09. | :02:11. | |
medals to Prime Minister David Cameron in Downing Street. The | :02:12. | :02:13. | |
athletes returned home yesterday bringing with them six medals in | :02:14. | :02:16. | |
total, including their first Gold. Now for more than 300 years Scotland | :02:17. | :02:21. | |
has been part of the UK and in six months' time, on September 18th, | :02:22. | :02:24. | |
Scotland will hold a vote where people will be asked the simple | :02:25. | :02:27. | |
question - should Scotland be an independent country? They'll have to | :02:28. | :02:30. | |
decide Yes or No. It'll be a huge moment for the country and for the | :02:31. | :02:34. | |
teenagers who get to vote for the first time. Here's Ricky. They the | :02:35. | :02:39. | |
same age, have similar interests and live only 20 minutes apart. There is | :02:40. | :02:47. | |
one thing that these two teenagers massively disagree on. My name is | :02:48. | :02:53. | |
Lewis, in September I will vote No. I'm Sarah, I'm 16-year-olds, I will | :02:54. | :03:00. | |
vote Yes in the referendum. On September 18th voters will be asked, | :03:01. | :03:04. | |
should Scotland be an independent country and will have to choose Yes | :03:05. | :03:08. | |
or No. This is the first time the voting age has been lowered so 16 | :03:09. | :03:12. | |
and 17-year-olds will get a chance to say how their country will be | :03:13. | :03:16. | |
run. When it did first come out I didn't know much about it. I had to | :03:17. | :03:20. | |
go and look at the two sides to make up my mind. Then I got quite into it | :03:21. | :03:25. | |
and quite excited about it. It's something that I don't think many | :03:26. | :03:29. | |
people my age are ever going to get an opportunity to do, no matter what | :03:30. | :03:32. | |
country they are in. To be handed that opportunity just makes me feel | :03:33. | :03:39. | |
so excited. Unbelievable. My name is anable, I'm 10-year-olds. I am Alex | :03:40. | :03:49. | |
Sandra, I'm nine years old. Sarah and Lewis will decide what country | :03:50. | :03:52. | |
their younger brothers and sisters will be growing up in. Sarah, why | :03:53. | :03:59. | |
are you voting yes? I'm voting Yes, I think if we have independence for | :04:00. | :04:03. | |
Scotland we will have more of a voice and do what we want and | :04:04. | :04:07. | |
control our own things that we need and our own money. Lewis, why are | :04:08. | :04:13. | |
you voting No? I don't think Scotland has the money to give | :04:14. | :04:20. | |
people the life they deserve. The question may be a simple one, the | :04:21. | :04:24. | |
choices made by people like Lewis and Sarah will shape Scotland's | :04:25. | :04:30. | |
future for generations to come. Just enough time to show you some amazing | :04:31. | :04:33. | |
snaps from the Sony World Photographers Award. 13 pictures | :04:34. | :04:36. | |
taken by amateur photographers were chosen as winners. This cute pony in | :04:37. | :04:40. | |
the snow was taken in the Netherlands, while the starry night | :04:41. | :04:44. | |
sky was captured in Italy. Here's my favourite, taken in southern China | :04:45. | :04:46. | |
showing people travelling in the rain. Finally, we know you love | :04:47. | :04:52. | |
them, so Newsround's off to meet The Vamps. Head over to the Newsround | :04:53. | :04:57. | |
website and tell us what you want us to ask them. Goodbye. | :04:58. | :05:01. |
