Afternoon folks, Martin here with all the days top stories.

0:00:050:00:07

Coming up: Astronaut Tim Peake speaks to school kids from the ISS.

0:00:070:00:11

Plus: We bring you a Penguin on a treadmill.

0:00:110:00:14

You are watching Newsround after all.

0:00:140:00:20

First up, a big announcement is expected from the British

0:00:270:00:29

Government today after important meetings last night

0:00:290:00:31

and this morning.

0:00:310:00:33

Prime Minister David Cameron wants people to decide whether the UK

0:00:330:00:34

should stay in or leave an important club of countries in Europe.

0:00:380:00:41

Let's take a really quick look at what it's all about.

0:00:410:00:44

The European Union in 60 seconds:

0:00:440:00:46

In 1973, people dressed like this,

0:00:460:00:50

Slade ruled the charts,

0:00:500:00:52

and Newsround was only one year old.

0:00:520:00:54

And that's when the UK joined what is now known

0:00:540:00:58

as the European Union, or EU.

0:00:580:00:59

It's a club of 28 countries from around Europe who work together.

0:00:590:01:02

This is its symbol.

0:01:020:01:03

It's got its own Parliament,

0:01:030:01:04

its own Anthem,

0:01:040:01:10

and its own money, the Euro, used by most of its members,

0:01:100:01:13

but not the UK.

0:01:130:01:14

Countries join the EU because they think it will help

0:01:140:01:17

bring Europe closer together.

0:01:170:01:18

But now, British Prime Minister David Cameron has promised to hold

0:01:180:01:20

a vote on whether or not the UK should stay in or leave the EU.

0:01:200:01:24

Supporters of the EU think the UK is stronger as part of it.

0:01:240:01:28

That's because we buy and sell lots of things

0:01:280:01:30

with European countries.

0:01:300:01:31

People who want to leave the EU say it forces too many rules on Britain.

0:01:310:01:35

They say leaving will give British people more control over

0:01:350:01:40

issues like immigration.

0:01:400:01:41

It will be up to adults around the UK to decide what's best

0:01:410:01:44

when they vote this summer.

0:01:440:01:47

Now, although children won't be able to take part in that vote,

0:01:470:01:50

the decision made will have a big impact on your lives -

0:01:500:01:53

and Newsround will be keeping you up to date all the way.

0:01:530:01:56

For now, you can find out all you need to know online

0:01:560:01:59

0:02:010:02:04

Next, British astronaut Tim Peake may be busy carrying out science

0:02:040:02:08

experiments on the International Space Station, but he's found time

0:02:080:02:11

to speak to some school children in Bristol

0:02:110:02:15

and answer their questions.

0:02:150:02:19

They used special radio equipment to talk to him.

0:02:190:02:22

So what did the pupils think about it?

0:02:220:02:24

It was an amazing experience.

0:02:240:02:25

I feel so honoured to be part of the panel.

0:02:250:02:27

I'm still trying to get over it, it's just such an amazing experience

0:02:270:02:30

and I'm so thankful I got selected.

0:02:300:02:32

I still haven't fully comprehended what's just happened,

0:02:320:02:34

to be honest.

0:02:340:02:37

Best school day I've had so far.

0:02:370:02:39

It was truly amazing and I will

0:02:390:02:41

follow my dreams, I will.

0:02:410:02:42

I'm still trying to get over how mind-blowing it was to be able

0:02:420:02:45

to have contact with someone on the International Space Station.

0:02:450:02:50

Next - If you're the oldest in your family, do you remember

0:02:500:02:53

what it was like when you met your brother or sister

0:02:530:02:56

for the very first time?

0:02:560:02:57

Here's Fabrizio's story.

0:02:570:03:01

For five years I've been the only child, but today

0:03:010:03:05

it's going to change.

0:03:050:03:09

I'm excited.

0:03:090:03:12

The baby in my mummy's tummy!

0:03:120:03:15

It's a funny picture but this is the baby's nose,

0:03:150:03:21

and he's waving to us.

0:03:210:03:25

Oh!

0:03:250:03:27

Yeah!

0:03:270:03:31

I've got a baby, baby brother!

0:03:310:03:36

I'm going to hug him and I'm going to be so happy

0:03:360:03:39

I'm going to cry.

0:03:390:03:47

Hi, Dad.

0:03:480:03:50

Where is he?

0:03:500:03:53

We've got the Spiderman lunchbox incase he's hungry.

0:03:530:04:00

Hello!

0:04:010:04:02

Hi, Paolo.

0:04:020:04:09

Did you know I'm your big brother?

0:04:090:04:13

HE SINGS

0:04:130:04:22

Paolo, you're so cute.

0:04:220:04:29

And for more amazing siblings,

0:04:290:04:31

'Brothers and Sisters, A Newsround Special' is online now,

0:04:310:04:36

so check it out.

0:04:360:04:37

Next, to Norway where competitors in the Winter Youth Olympics have

0:04:370:04:41

been taking to the snow and ice.

0:04:410:04:43

Yesterday was a great day for team GB, and Hayley was there to see

0:04:430:04:47

Ashleigh Pittaway win gold in the skeleton bob.

0:04:470:04:52

Ashley look at your gold medal.

0:04:560:04:57

Fantastic news, how do you feel?

0:04:570:05:00

Very good, I'm very excited and very blown away.

0:05:000:05:03

I'm still very pumped.

0:05:030:05:07

I bet you are.

0:05:070:05:08

But you won by a mile, so what is the secret

0:05:080:05:11

to your success?

0:05:110:05:12

I've got a lot of experience.

0:05:120:05:14

I slid the longest.

0:05:140:05:15

Also the start is very important, and I'm quite good at the start.

0:05:150:05:18

You must be quite good, yeah,

0:05:180:05:20

to get the gold medal.

0:05:200:05:21

What is next for you?

0:05:210:05:24

Next is the World Cup and I'm hoping for a

0:05:240:05:27

medal at the Olympics.

0:05:270:05:31

Finally, it wouldn't be Newsround without a penguin,

0:05:350:05:38

waddling on a treadmill.

0:05:380:05:40

Cute as it looks, there's serious science behind it.

0:05:400:05:42

Researchers studying king penguins, including this little guy,

0:05:420:05:45

found the fatter they are, the more wobbly they are when they waddle,

0:05:450:05:49

which makes life more dangerous for them in then wild.

0:05:490:05:54

That's all for now.

0:05:540:05:55

Newsround's back again just before 2.
