Hi, I'm Jenny and this is Friday afternoon's Newsround,

:00:08.:00:09.

Tonight, I'm going to be interviewing Prince Harry!

:00:10.:00:16.

Oops - the girl reliving her royal mistake!

:00:17.:00:18.

Liam Payne releases his first solo single.

:00:19.:00:20.

And the cheeky ferret who fancied a spa day.

:00:21.:00:33.

In the UK, thousands of airplanes take off and land each day,

:00:34.:00:37.

and they need to be really carefully coordinated to make

:00:38.:00:39.

Now City Airport, in London, is about to make a big change to how

:00:40.:00:45.

London's City Airport. Until now flights going in and out had been

:00:46.:01:00.

monitored in this control tower by a group of controllers. They look out

:01:01.:01:03.

of these windows right onto the runway. But not for much longer!

:01:04.:01:09.

They are about to move home... 120 miles away from the airport, to be

:01:10.:01:15.

exact. Because the control room is going digital!

:01:16.:01:17.

The windows are going to be replaced by high-definition screens and the

:01:18.:01:21.

controllers will be able to see and hear the airport. This is a practice

:01:22.:01:29.

control room but by 2019, controllers will be sitting here and

:01:30.:01:31.

directing traffic for real, using pictures fed from a new camera tower

:01:32.:01:35.

next to the runway. Unlike the old tower they can zoom in for a better

:01:36.:01:38.

view. They can light the runway at night

:01:39.:01:43.

and pick out rogue drones will stop it gives the airport more

:01:44.:01:47.

information in terms of what they can see and hear, and identified

:01:48.:01:51.

targets. The controller's job is to look out the window.

:01:52.:01:54.

It makes that job much easier. But, I know what you are thinking, what

:01:55.:02:00.

if the TV screens go down? This system has been independently stress

:02:01.:02:06.

tested by security specialists, there are three cables in place

:02:07.:02:10.

between the airport and the control centre in Swanwick.

:02:11.:02:13.

If one of them fails, there's another cable there. London city is

:02:14.:02:18.

convinced it will make their airport more efficient and safe. And it

:02:19.:02:23.

might not be long before the idea of digital control rooms takes off at

:02:24.:02:25.

other airports as well. This week Prince William

:02:26.:02:28.

visited The Royal Marsden, a special cancer treatment hospital

:02:29.:02:30.

and met someone he hadn't seen Lovely to see you... Alice has met

:02:31.:02:48.

the Prince before, in 2009 she interviewed him for news round. She

:02:49.:02:52.

had treatment for cancer at the Royal Marsden Hospital, a hospital

:02:53.:02:57.

Prince William supports. But like every good journalist,

:02:58.:03:01.

things didn't quite go to plan... Tonight I will be interviewing

:03:02.:03:06.

Prince Harry... Brilliant! Brilliant, Alice. That is a keeper!

:03:07.:03:13.

I will never live it down! It is just a moment that I will never

:03:14.:03:18.

forget. Don't worry, Alice. He was still very impressed by you. Lovely

:03:19.:03:23.

interview, by the way! Me and my sister always have play around and

:03:24.:03:30.

wrestles. If you and Prince Harry had one, who would win? It's not

:03:31.:03:35.

worth even worth asking! I'm all over it, Ricky, you are out of a

:03:36.:03:46.

job! Now this is one for

:03:47.:03:49.

the directioners, 1D's Liam Payne has finally released his first

:03:50.:03:52.

single as a solo artist. # You know I love it when the music

:03:53.:03:59.

stops # Strip that down for me #

:04:00.:04:03.

It's called 'Strip That Down' and was written by Ed Sheeran.

:04:04.:04:05.

Liam is the last member of the group, who are on a break

:04:06.:04:08.

at the moment, to release a single, and he checked into BBC Radio 1's

:04:09.:04:12.

He was discovered on X Factor and said he wouldn't rule out

:04:13.:04:16.

being a judge on the show, like partner Cheryl.

:04:17.:04:18.

Yeah, I think I would give it a go. I don't know if I would be too harsh

:04:19.:04:24.

as a judge. I am a harsh critic. But I think we need that. I think it is

:04:25.:04:28.

necessary sometimes. I'm one of those people who moans at the telly.

:04:29.:04:33.

Finally to this cheeky little guy who fancied a day at the spa...

:04:34.:04:38.

Staff from the Lido spa in Bristol, got a bit of a fright, when a ferret

:04:39.:04:42.

snuck in through their front door and pottered around.

:04:43.:04:44.

The ferret was caught safely and is being looked after.

:04:45.:04:47.

Maybe he was looking for a free massage?

:04:48.:04:49.
