Hi, I'm Martin, It's Monday,
and this is Newsround, live on CBBC. | 0:00:10 | 0:00:13 | |
Here's what's coming up
in the next few minutes... | 0:00:13 | 0:00:15 | |
We go to an elephant's
birthday party... | 0:00:15 | 0:00:16 | |
And we hear some of your stories,
in your own words. | 0:00:16 | 0:00:24 | |
First, though, to America,
and the school students | 0:00:28 | 0:00:31 | |
who are making headlines for the way
they're taking on | 0:00:31 | 0:00:34 | |
the issue of guns... | 0:00:34 | 0:00:35 | |
Ayshah has more. | 0:00:35 | 0:00:37 | |
I understand how scary an issue this
is, but I also need to point out | 0:00:37 | 0:00:41 | |
there were issues in the past
where great people | 0:00:41 | 0:00:43 | |
made great changes. | 0:00:43 | 0:00:47 | |
Is it right that it's so easy
to buy a gun in America? | 0:00:47 | 0:00:51 | |
That's the argument that's been
going on there for a long time. | 0:00:51 | 0:00:54 | |
Americans and guns go together. | 0:00:54 | 0:00:56 | |
I think it's more of a safety
thing than anything else, | 0:00:56 | 0:00:59 | |
especially due to recent events. | 0:00:59 | 0:01:03 | |
Last week, there was a shooting
in a school in Florida. | 0:01:03 | 0:01:06 | |
It was the 18th this year. | 0:01:06 | 0:01:07 | |
But what happened next
was a big surprise. | 0:01:07 | 0:01:15 | |
As well as going to vigils
and to prayer services, | 0:01:16 | 0:01:18 | |
pupils from the Florida school,
and the rest of America, | 0:01:18 | 0:01:21 | |
started speaking up. | 0:01:21 | 0:01:23 | |
Shame on you! | 0:01:23 | 0:01:23 | |
Shame on you! | 0:01:23 | 0:01:26 | |
Students are voicing
their opinions to the world. | 0:01:26 | 0:01:28 | |
They are the voice of change. | 0:01:28 | 0:01:30 | |
Not only are they are our
future, but right now | 0:01:30 | 0:01:32 | |
they are also our present. | 0:01:32 | 0:01:33 | |
I feel like no one listens to us
because we are kids. | 0:01:33 | 0:01:36 | |
I think we should have a voice, too. | 0:01:36 | 0:01:38 | |
How many more times does this have
to happen for them to do something? | 0:01:38 | 0:01:42 | |
It's ridiculous. | 0:01:42 | 0:01:43 | |
It's a shame, but I think it's kind
of fallen on the kids | 0:01:43 | 0:01:46 | |
to take care of this one. | 0:01:46 | 0:01:48 | |
Millennials are the ones that
are going to make the difference, | 0:01:48 | 0:01:51 | |
because we have so much information
at our fingertips, we are | 0:01:51 | 0:01:53 | |
relentless, we do not let things go. | 0:01:53 | 0:01:57 | |
Now the students are planning
a march to America's capital, | 0:01:57 | 0:01:59 | |
Washington, to tell politicians
they want controls on guns. | 0:01:59 | 0:02:04 | |
President Donald Trump,
who lives here in the White House, | 0:02:04 | 0:02:07 | |
says he doesn't want any more
controls on who can buy guns, | 0:02:07 | 0:02:10 | |
but next month, teenagers
from across America will march | 0:02:10 | 0:02:12 | |
here to say that not enough
is being done to keep them safe. | 0:02:12 | 0:02:15 | |
Still, many people in the US don't
want any changes to gun laws. | 0:02:15 | 0:02:18 | |
The march next month
will be a big event, | 0:02:18 | 0:02:20 | |
but we don't know whether it
will actually change anything. | 0:02:20 | 0:02:28 | |
OK, next up, here on Newsround
we love hearing about your amazing | 0:02:30 | 0:02:37 | |
lives, so we've travelled around
the country to hear some | 0:02:37 | 0:02:39 | |
of your inspiring stories. | 0:02:39 | 0:02:40 | |
One person we met was Jack ?
he struggled to learn to talk | 0:02:40 | 0:02:43 | |
when he was young but it was music
that really helped him. | 0:02:43 | 0:02:46 | |
Watch this. | 0:02:46 | 0:02:49 | |
I have ADHD, dyspraxia and autism. | 0:02:49 | 0:02:52 | |
I have problems
communicating with children. | 0:02:52 | 0:02:55 | |
And making friends. | 0:02:55 | 0:02:57 | |
Hello. | 0:02:57 | 0:02:58 | |
My name's Jack. | 0:02:58 | 0:03:01 | |
I'm ten years old and when I was
little, I was not able to speak. | 0:03:01 | 0:03:04 | |
And I had speech and
language therapy, but that | 0:03:04 | 0:03:06 | |
didn't really help me. | 0:03:06 | 0:03:08 | |
I used to do head-banging
whenever I wanted something. | 0:03:08 | 0:03:11 | |
I had to wear a red solid helmet. | 0:03:11 | 0:03:14 | |
It was just so sad for me. | 0:03:14 | 0:03:16 | |
I just hated it. | 0:03:16 | 0:03:19 | |
My first music lesson,
a singing teacher was playing | 0:03:19 | 0:03:22 | |
the piano and then I started to sing
la la la. | 0:03:22 | 0:03:25 | |
I was like, oh, my God! | 0:03:25 | 0:03:27 | |
I can speak! | 0:03:27 | 0:03:30 | |
But basically, I had to learn
a word by singing it, | 0:03:30 | 0:03:33 | |
and then speaking it. | 0:03:33 | 0:03:35 | |
So once I've got a word,
I've got it for basically like life. | 0:03:35 | 0:03:38 | |
Music really relaxes me,
because when I'm getting | 0:03:38 | 0:03:40 | |
all stressed, it's like someone's
putting a spell on me that I can, | 0:03:40 | 0:03:43 | |
like, music makes me so happy. | 0:03:43 | 0:03:48 | |
If there is any other children
like me who have problems speaking, | 0:03:48 | 0:03:56 | |
find something that will relax you,
like for example drawing, | 0:03:56 | 0:03:59 | |
or music or anything
that will relax you. | 0:03:59 | 0:04:07 | |
Now I start speaking,
my mum says I never stop speaking. | 0:04:07 | 0:04:09 | |
And I think that's because I need
to make up for all the years | 0:04:09 | 0:04:13 | |
when I wasn't speaking. | 0:04:13 | 0:04:14 | |
And if you enjoyed that
and want to see more | 0:04:14 | 0:04:17 | |
stories like Jack's,

Last up, meet Trompita -
it's her birthday and she's | 0:04:24 | 0:04:26 | |
celebrating in style. | 0:04:26 | 0:04:28 | |
She's 57 today,
and is having a party | 0:04:28 | 0:04:30 | |
at the Aurora Zoo in Guatemala. | 0:04:30 | 0:04:34 | |
She got a 6 foot pinyata,
a cake made of vegetables and fruit, | 0:04:34 | 0:04:37 | |
and a birthday song
from all the visitors! | 0:04:37 | 0:04:41 | |
Happy birthday, Trompita! | 0:04:41 | 0:04:49 | |
I have heard through the grapevine
that the number one thing she wants | 0:04:49 | 0:04:52 | |
for her birthday is a jumbo jet!
Rickie is back tomorrow morning at | 0:04:52 | 0:04:58 | |

afternoon. | 0:04:58 | 0:05:00 |
