First today, British Prime Minister Teresa May has given her sympathy | :00:14. | :00:16. | |
This is after an attack in the city of Barcelona yesterday evening. | :00:17. | :00:21. | |
A van was driven at people on a busy street and 13 people have died. | :00:22. | :00:26. | |
Police were on the scene very quickly to help keep people safe. | :00:27. | :00:31. | |
Leaders from around the world have spoken to say they support | :00:32. | :00:34. | |
the Spanish people and will do what they can to help. | :00:35. | :00:38. | |
If you want to know more about happened in Barcelona then | :00:39. | :00:42. | |

That's also where you can find advice on what to do | :00:46. | :00:48. | |
Next, its time to talk about a big row over Big Ben's famous chime, | :00:49. | :00:56. | |
it's going to be silent for a while and not | :00:57. | :00:59. | |
..because you might not hear the dongs of Big Ben | :01:00. | :01:09. | |
That's because there's a row over some repair work | :01:10. | :01:14. | |
It's supposed to stop ringing on Monday for four years, | :01:15. | :01:20. | |
except for special occasions, to protect the hearing of the people | :01:21. | :01:23. | |
But not everyone was happy about the plan, | :01:24. | :01:26. | |
Of course we want to ensure people's safety at work, | :01:27. | :01:30. | |
but it can't be right for Big Ben to be silent for four years. | :01:31. | :01:34. | |
Now the plans are a bit up in the air while politicians | :01:35. | :01:37. | |
So while we've got a bit of time, your's all the things you might not | :01:38. | :01:41. | |
Most people know Big Ben as the clock tower that's attached | :01:42. | :01:50. | |
the Palace of Westminster, which is where Parliament sits. | :01:51. | :01:52. | |
But actually, Big Ben is the name of the bell inside it. | :01:53. | :01:55. | |
The clock tower used to be called the, erm, Clock Tower, | :01:56. | :02:03. | |
but it as renamed the Elizabeth Tower in honour of the Queen's | :02:04. | :02:06. | |
No-one knows exactly why it's called Big Ben. | :02:07. | :02:11. | |
One idea is that was named after Sir Benjamin Hall, | :02:12. | :02:14. | |
a politician who was around when it was built. | :02:15. | :02:16. | |
But others think it could be named after a boxer called Ben Caunt. | :02:17. | :02:21. | |
Big Ben doesn't swing like normal bells - | :02:22. | :02:25. | |
instead, it's fixed and struck by a hammer from outside. | :02:26. | :02:28. | |
The BBC first broadcast Big Ben's chimes to mark the New Year in 1923. | :02:29. | :02:38. | |
The clock has seen every New Year sinse, apart from in 1962, | :02:39. | :02:42. | |
