:00:00. > :00:00.Hi, I'm Leah and you're watching Newsround live on CBBC.
:00:07. > :00:14.Keep watching, there's all this coming up:
:00:15. > :00:17.Why scientists are getting up close with panda poo.
:00:18. > :00:28.And William and Harry join the Force.
:00:29. > :00:30.But first, being part of an after-school club
:00:31. > :00:35.That's what new research out today says.
:00:36. > :00:38.We've been asking if after-school activities make a difference
:00:39. > :00:43.Hollie from Carnoustie in Scotland says that she goes to dancing club
:00:44. > :00:48.Keira from Cheshire thinks after-school clubs make her want
:00:49. > :00:52.to concentrate more on her work to make the day go faster.
:00:53. > :00:55.And Milly-Jo from Somerset goes to gymnastics after school
:00:56. > :00:57.and she thinks it helps her at school.
:00:58. > :01:06.Thanks for all of those, please keep sending them in online.
:01:07. > :01:09.Here's what kids at an after-school club in Manchester thing.
:01:10. > :01:12.Throughout the day, if you've got an after-school club, like, you are
:01:13. > :01:15.focusing on that and it makes you happy to know that after school,
:01:16. > :01:18.you're going to be doing sports instead of just maybe sitting
:01:19. > :01:19.around, watching telly in your house.
:01:20. > :01:22.When you go to after-school clubs, you are like spending time
:01:23. > :01:24.with your friends and having a bit of a mess around.
:01:25. > :01:30.After-school club, it motivates me to do better in my work
:01:31. > :01:33.so that the day ends faster and I can get on
:01:34. > :01:40.It helps me relax after a hard day at school but I haven't had
:01:41. > :01:47.After-school, I think it is fun because you get to spend a long
:01:48. > :01:52.day in class and then some time outside with your friends.
:01:53. > :01:55.Princes William and Harry popped to the set of Star Wars
:01:56. > :01:59.at Pinewood Studios in Buckinghamshire in England,
:02:00. > :02:02.where they battled each other with lightsabers.
:02:03. > :02:05.After meeting some of the cast, William joked he couldn't stop
:02:06. > :02:10.Kensington Palace said the tour was organised to celebrate
:02:11. > :02:19.Next, want to see what a fire tornado looks like?
:02:20. > :02:22.Well, here's one caught on a mobile phone in Alberta in Canada.
:02:23. > :02:25.This is the moment a brush fire was whipped up into the air
:02:26. > :02:27.and became a fire tornado within seconds.
:02:28. > :02:30.The fire was sparked by a campfire that got out of control
:02:31. > :02:38.Firefighters managed to control the blaze.
:02:39. > :02:42.Jenny took up this one for us. Take a look.
:02:43. > :02:44.Sunshine and Sweetie arrived in Edinburgh from China in 2011.
:02:45. > :02:48.We were all gripped by panda fever as the nation waited to find out
:02:49. > :02:52.if there was going to be a panda pregnancy or not.
:02:53. > :02:55.Now Sunshine and Sweetie are taking part in a project
:02:56. > :02:58.a little less glamorous and a lot more smelly.
:02:59. > :03:01.The pandas are having their poo collected and investigated as part
:03:02. > :03:06.of a project to understand more about the animals' eating habits.
:03:07. > :03:08.We need to understand exactly which species of bamboo
:03:09. > :03:10.that pandas in the wild are eating.
:03:11. > :03:13.The first place to start all that
:03:14. > :03:19.At the moment, we are gathering one poo from each panda
:03:20. > :03:27.Next, off to the lab to investigate the poo a bit more closely.
:03:28. > :03:30.So after the poo has been collected, it comes here -
:03:31. > :03:32.what's the process, how do you analyse it?
:03:33. > :03:35.Once we get it from the zoo, it looks like this.
:03:36. > :03:39.We take this and we go through a process to extract the DNA
:03:40. > :03:47.DNA is basically the building block of life, every single thing has it
:03:48. > :03:50.and we look at that to try and tell apart which different species
:03:51. > :03:55.It's not just the pandas at Edinburgh Zoo that
:03:56. > :04:04.We are going to be looking at wild pandas in China and hopefully
:04:05. > :04:09.finding samples they have left behind for us and it will give us
:04:10. > :04:12.all sort of information about what sort of things pandas are eating.
:04:13. > :04:18.It's really hard to work out what giant pandas are eating,
:04:19. > :04:21.which makes it really difficult for places like the zoo to make sure
:04:22. > :04:23.they are feeding them exactly what they need.
:04:24. > :04:26.We are really excited that, by working out exactly
:04:27. > :04:28.what they are eating, we can actually help not only
:04:29. > :04:31.conserve them in the wild but also hopefully help Edinburgh Zoo breed
:04:32. > :04:37.Even though looking into panda poo might be a bit smelly,
:04:38. > :04:40.and even seem a bit strange, it shows that eating
:04:41. > :04:43.the right stuff is important for all of us to stay healthy,
:04:44. > :04:48.And the results might even help Edinburgh Zoo
:04:49. > :04:55.Take a look at Europa - the moon of Jupiter.
:04:56. > :04:58.Scientist say they're keen to launch a mission there in around
:04:59. > :05:03.They're meeting in Paris this week to consider the best options.
:05:04. > :05:06.It's likely they'll send a probe to explore the icy surface
:05:07. > :05:12.in the hope of finding out more about our solar system.
:05:13. > :05:14.In the Premier League, Newcastle United could only
:05:15. > :05:16.manage a point against Manchester City last night.
:05:17. > :05:21.City took the lead at St James Park with this Sergio Aguero header.
:05:22. > :05:24.But Newcastle managed to hit back before half time.
:05:25. > :05:30.1-1 the final score but Newcastle remain two points from safety.
:05:31. > :05:33.And finally, want to see the fastest snowboarder in Britain?
:05:34. > :05:37.This is Jamie Barrow reaching more than 94mph in the French Alps.
:05:38. > :05:40.It's a new British record, but if you think that's impressive,
:05:41. > :05:44.he didn't come close to the world record, held
:05:45. > :05:49.by the Frenchman Edmond Plawczyk, who went at over 126mph last year.
