Good morning, guys - Ricky here with why some big artists could soon be

:00:08.:00:10.

Brazil's young fans treat Leah to some World Cup wathcing -

:00:11.:00:14.

But first - school days need to be longer, according to a group

:00:15.:00:25.

of politicians looking into how to improve standards.

:00:26.:00:27.

A special committee of MPs say the hours need extending

:00:28.:00:30.

to allow kids to do homework before they leave for the day.

:00:31.:00:33.

It's only a recommendation that the government will now look at.

:00:34.:00:35.

The committee was looking into why children from certain

:00:36.:00:38.

backgrounds leave school with worse qualifications than others.

Now, Belgium beat Algeria and Russia drew

with South Korea last night, but the big focus on day six of the World

They took on Mexico in their second group game with the hopes of the

:00:50.:00:55.

And Leah was there to soak it all up.

:00:56.:01:04.

You think we love football in the UK? It is nothing compared to fans

:01:05.:01:14.

in Brazil. On match day the city of Rio changes, businesses close,

:01:15.:01:18.

children leave early from school, it has taken me two hours to get

:01:19.:01:26.

through traffic, but I have front row seats.

:01:27.:01:37.

I have heard these fans are the biggest and loudest Brazilian

:01:38.:01:43.

supporters in town. I think the match will be 2-04 Brazil. I think

:01:44.:01:50.

Brazil is going to score three goals. After beating Croatia in

:01:51.:02:00.

their opening game, Brazil are up against Mexico. The first half is an

:02:01.:02:12.

evenly matched affair. I think the first part of the game was not so

:02:13.:02:18.

exciting. I think in the second-half Brazil will make a goal wind. Brazil

:02:19.:02:25.

half and puffed in second half but not - but could not find their way

:02:26.:02:31.

past the Mexican goalkeeper. A disappointing and frustrating night

:02:32.:02:35.

for these guys but for them there is only one team that will get to the

:02:36.:02:37.

final, and that is Brazil. Brazil! Next,

some top singers and bands may have The website is set pounds to launch

a new paid-for subscription service later this year

which will let you watch music Hundreds of record labels have come

to an agreement with the site, but the smaller ones that look

after the likes of Adele and Those labels aren't happy with

YouTube's terms and say the website isn't giving

them a good enough deal. Now, which of the world's problems

:03:05.:03:07.

would you spend ?10 million on? Well, the Longitude prize is a huge

:03:08.:03:10.

science challenge asking just that. Six big topics have been chosen for

:03:11.:03:12.

the public to vote on and this week One of the big challenges is how

:03:13.:03:16.

can we make sure everyone has access to safe and clean water?

:03:17.:03:22.

Here's Martin. There is something like a billion

:03:23.:03:39.

trillion litres of water on Earth but most of it is salty and you

:03:40.:03:43.

can't drink it. With a population of the world growing there is an

:03:44.:03:48.

increased demand for fresh drinking water. Taking sold out of the sea

:03:49.:03:52.

water could be the solution but that is not as easy as it sounds. Even in

:03:53.:03:58.

the UK engineers are turning to sea water to boost supplies. Here,

:03:59.:04:03.

Clearwater 's work its way out from the salty solution through these

:04:04.:04:08.

membranes, but they clog up with dirt from the water very early and

:04:09.:04:13.

getting drinking water this way is 15 times more expensive than regular

:04:14.:04:17.

water. On Gibraltar another method is being used. Inside these tubes

:04:18.:04:26.

are hollow membranes. Water flows on the outside of these tubes and pure

:04:27.:04:32.

water is drawn across. Very little energy is needed but the process

:04:33.:04:37.

needs lots of pressure so it is a bit better than the membrane

:04:38.:04:42.

solution but only just. Getting salt water into fresh water gets chosen

:04:43.:04:47.

as the topic for people to look into, the challenge will be how to

:04:48.:04:57.

do it. You can find out more about that
