Hi, I'm Leah and I'm live with your midweek Newsround | 0:00:02 | 0:00:04 | |
on CBBC this morning. | 0:00:04 | 0:00:06 | |
Coming up in the next few minutes: We've got some Minecraft news | 0:00:06 | 0:00:09 | |
on the way for you. | 0:00:09 | 0:00:11 | |
And why thousands of people have been leaping into icy water. | 0:00:11 | 0:00:16 | |
Big news about your favourite fairytales today as new research | 0:00:25 | 0:00:28 | |
suggests they might date back much earlier | 0:00:28 | 0:00:30 | |
than it was originally thought. | 0:00:30 | 0:00:32 | |
A study has found that stories like Beauty and the Beast | 0:00:32 | 0:00:35 | |
and Rumpelstiltskin can be traced back thousands of years | 0:00:35 | 0:00:38 | |
to prehistoric times with one tale originating from the Bronze Age. | 0:00:38 | 0:00:44 | |
That's almost 4,000 years earlier than was previously thought. | 0:00:44 | 0:00:48 | |
So that got us thinking. | 0:00:48 | 0:00:49 | |
We want to know about your favourite fairy stories. | 0:00:49 | 0:00:52 | |
Head over to the chat page on the Newsround website and tell | 0:00:52 | 0:00:55 | |
us your favourite and why. | 0:00:55 | 0:00:58 | |
Steel. | 0:00:58 | 0:00:59 | |
It's all around us. | 0:00:59 | 0:01:00 | |
It's under our feet. | 0:01:00 | 0:01:01 | |
It's above our heads. | 0:01:01 | 0:01:03 | |
It might even be in our hands. | 0:01:03 | 0:01:04 | |
It's been making headlines over the past few months as many British | 0:01:04 | 0:01:07 | |
steel workers face losing their jobs. | 0:01:07 | 0:01:08 | |
But what is steel and why is it so important to the UK? | 0:01:08 | 0:01:12 | |
Here's Jenny. | 0:01:12 | 0:01:13 | |
Steel is the most widely used metal in the world. | 0:01:13 | 0:01:16 | |
It can be extremely strong and flexible. | 0:01:16 | 0:01:19 | |
It's used to make all kinds of things like buildings and bridges. | 0:01:19 | 0:01:23 | |
Planes, trains and cars all have parts made out of steel to help | 0:01:23 | 0:01:26 | |
you get around. | 0:01:26 | 0:01:28 | |
And you'll find it all over your home in things like washing | 0:01:28 | 0:01:30 | |
machines, fridges and radiators. | 0:01:30 | 0:01:33 | |
NEWSREEL: British Steel, especially from Sheffield, | 0:01:33 | 0:01:35 | |
has long been acknowledged as being some of the best | 0:01:35 | 0:01:38 | |
in the world. | 0:01:38 | 0:01:39 | |
The UK has a long history of making steel, dating all the way back | 0:01:39 | 0:01:42 | |
to the 1800s. | 0:01:42 | 0:01:43 | |
But over the last few decades this has been changing. | 0:01:43 | 0:01:47 | |
Nowadays, it's China that leads the way producing around half | 0:01:47 | 0:01:49 | |
of the world's steel. | 0:01:49 | 0:01:52 | |
However, it's making more steel than it actually needs, | 0:01:52 | 0:01:54 | |
selling the extra stuff cheaply all around the world. | 0:01:54 | 0:02:00 | |
This is a problem for steel plants in the UK. | 0:02:00 | 0:02:02 | |
They say they are losing business because they can't match the low | 0:02:02 | 0:02:05 | |
prices of cheaper Chinese steel, forcing many UK factories | 0:02:05 | 0:02:07 | |
to shut down. | 0:02:07 | 0:02:10 | |
A steelworks in Redcar in the North East of England closed | 0:02:10 | 0:02:13 | |
last year and now more than 1,000 people will be losing their jobs | 0:02:13 | 0:02:16 | |
around the UK, with most of them at the UK's biggest steel plant | 0:02:16 | 0:02:23 | |
in Port Talbot in Wales. | 0:02:23 | 0:02:24 | |
Now the government is coming under pressure to help the plants | 0:02:24 | 0:02:27 | |
and the communities who need them for jobs. | 0:02:27 | 0:02:29 | |
The government says it's working to help staff find new jobs | 0:02:29 | 0:02:32 | |
as quickly as possible. | 0:02:32 | 0:02:34 | |
Next to news of the a new education edition of Minecraft. | 0:02:34 | 0:02:37 | |
Its makers want teachers to use the world-building video game | 0:02:37 | 0:02:40 | |
to teach different subjects like science, English and maths. | 0:02:40 | 0:02:45 | |
Microsoft are building the new game and are promising to add features | 0:02:45 | 0:02:47 | |
for the school version of the game, but schools may face extra costs | 0:02:47 | 0:02:51 | |
for the features. | 0:02:51 | 0:02:52 | |
The company say more than 7,000 classrooms around the world already | 0:02:52 | 0:02:55 | |
use Minecraft in some form. | 0:02:55 | 0:02:59 | |
They are red. | 0:02:59 | 0:02:59 | |
They are iconic and they are scattered across the UK providing | 0:02:59 | 0:03:02 | |
mail to all corners of the British Isles. | 0:03:02 | 0:03:04 | |
But for some there's more than meets the eye to the humble postbox. | 0:03:04 | 0:03:07 | |
The Letter Box Study Group are on a quest called Project Zero, | 0:03:07 | 0:03:10 | |
a mission to record historical data on the over 150,000 postboxes | 0:03:10 | 0:03:13 | |
in the UK. | 0:03:13 | 0:03:16 | |
These guys really love postboxes and the youngest member of the group | 0:03:16 | 0:03:19 | |
is 10-year-old Thomas and here's his top three postbox styles. | 0:03:19 | 0:03:21 | |
At number three, a box at World's End. | 0:03:21 | 0:03:24 | |
At number two is a box in Framlingham. | 0:03:24 | 0:03:27 | |
And at number one it's the Edward VIII Ludlow in Bournsea, | 0:03:27 | 0:03:31 | |
Suffolk. | 0:03:31 | 0:03:33 | |
Scientists in Germany have taught a drone how to land itself | 0:03:33 | 0:03:36 | |
on a moving car. | 0:03:36 | 0:03:39 | |
The researchers from the German Aerospace Centre have | 0:03:39 | 0:03:41 | |
demonstrated their aircraft safely landing on a car fitted with a net | 0:03:41 | 0:03:45 | |
travelling at nearly 50 miles per hour. | 0:03:45 | 0:03:48 | |
They say the technology could be used to let unmanned aircrafts be | 0:03:48 | 0:03:51 | |
built without wheels to let them stay in the air for longer | 0:03:51 | 0:03:54 | |
periods of time. | 0:03:54 | 0:03:57 | |
Sport now and the FA Cup dream is over for non-league Eastleigh. | 0:03:57 | 0:04:00 | |
They put up a decent effort against Championship Bolton side | 0:04:00 | 0:04:03 | |
going one up in their third round replay. | 0:04:03 | 0:04:06 | |
But they eventually lost 3-2 against Bolton who are 53 places | 0:04:06 | 0:04:10 | |
above them in the league pyramid eventually went through. | 0:04:10 | 0:04:12 | |
Darren Pratley with the winner. | 0:04:12 | 0:04:15 | |
Bolton face Leeds next. | 0:04:15 | 0:04:17 | |
But the Eastleigh manager says he's proud of his team. | 0:04:17 | 0:04:22 | |
Top that off, you know, we were very unlucky | 0:04:22 | 0:04:24 | |
but they dug in deep. | 0:04:24 | 0:04:25 | |
The lads showed great commitment, character, desire. | 0:04:25 | 0:04:28 | |
The words go on because they really have done that tonight. | 0:04:28 | 0:04:35 | |
When it's cold outside most of us crank up the heating | 0:04:35 | 0:04:37 | |
and get cosy indoors. | 0:04:37 | 0:04:38 | |
But not in Russia it seems. | 0:04:38 | 0:04:40 | |
Thousands of people braved the freezing temperatures to plunge | 0:04:40 | 0:04:43 | |
themselves into lakes, rivers and even the Black Sea | 0:04:43 | 0:04:46 | |
for big Christian religious event marking the birth | 0:04:46 | 0:04:49 | |
and baptism of Jesus. | 0:04:49 | 0:04:51 | |
That's all from me. | 0:04:51 | 0:04:53 | |
Newsround's back right here in about half | 0:04:53 | 0:04:54 | |
an hour just before 815. | 0:04:54 | 0:04:55 | |
See you then. | 0:04:55 | 0:04:58 |
