:00:00. > :00:13.Good afternoon! You're live with Newsround this Friday. I'm Leah.
:00:14. > :00:17.Coming up... We check out how you spent the last
:00:18. > :00:20.day of school, festive-style! And... The whole Newsround team have been
:00:21. > :00:25.looking back at our top stories of 2013. This is Newsround.
:00:26. > :00:27.But first, London's emergency crews are being praised for their quick
:00:28. > :00:31.work, helping people who were hurt when part of a theatre collapsed
:00:32. > :00:35.yesterday evening. 76 people were injured when a bit of ceiling fell
:00:36. > :00:46.down at the Apollo Theatre. Here's Nel with more. London's West End.
:00:47. > :00:53.Normally wassing with theatre-goer and tourist, this is the Apollo. It
:00:54. > :00:56.is one of the area's most famous theatres.
:00:57. > :01:00.Gp last night, the venue was packed for a performance of The Curious
:01:01. > :01:02.Incident of the Dog in the Night-Time.
:01:03. > :01:06.But during the show, part of the ceiling collapsed bringing down the
:01:07. > :01:12.lighting rig and balcony. I looked behind me and I saw the ceiling drop
:01:13. > :01:15.and there was a massive loud crunching sound.
:01:16. > :01:19.There was dust everywhere. I didn't know what to do so I ran down the
:01:20. > :01:25.stairs. 76 people were hurt, paramedics used
:01:26. > :01:28.buses to take some to hospital. The Mayor of London praised the
:01:29. > :01:33.emergency services for their work and said his thousands were with
:01:34. > :01:35.those involved. The author of the play said it was horrifying sitting
:01:36. > :01:49.here what was there are strict rules over safety
:01:50. > :02:03.in theatres. An investigation has started to work out what went wrong
:02:04. > :02:06.in this rare case. Christmas is massive in the
:02:07. > :02:10.Philippines and celebrations can last from September, till January,
:02:11. > :02:16.in one town they have been making decorations from stuff they have
:02:17. > :02:22.found under flattened buildings, tin cans and bottles, they say it shows
:02:23. > :02:25.they are hopeful the country can rebuild itself.
:02:26. > :02:30.Surely Santa is not delivering presents early. It is not the real
:02:31. > :02:35.Father Christmas. This blow up Santa Andrew doll belong to two amateur
:02:36. > :02:40.scientists who attached it to a special balloon and camera and sent
:02:41. > :02:46.them to the edge of space. They want it to raise awareness of science.
:02:47. > :02:52.The Christmas countdown is on. It is a busy day for travellers as
:02:53. > :02:57.millions head off to spend time with family and friends. It wasn't the
:02:58. > :03:18.normal day of lessons and more, you have been telling us on the
:03:19. > :03:23.Tilly, Tabitha and Will had a very Christmassy day with jumpers and
:03:24. > :03:26.antlers. Jack is wearing a snazzy Christmas hat made by his mum! And
:03:27. > :03:37.Ruben and Abigail wore Christmas jumpers to school! Like the tree
:03:38. > :03:43.too, guys! We have been looking back at the biggest stories of 2013. I am
:03:44. > :03:46.joined by familiar face, for me it was inspirational going to the
:03:47. > :03:50.Philippines and talking to the children rebuilding their lives
:03:51. > :03:56.after the typhoon. This is what is left of the house they once had. I
:03:57. > :04:01.say what is left, there is nothing there. Remember the horsemeat
:04:02. > :04:05.scandal when traces of horsemeat were found in burger, that made us
:04:06. > :04:14.think about where the food comes from. Who can forget Reuben about
:04:15. > :04:19.kids with Down's syndrome. Do you remember when I did the report about
:04:20. > :04:25.the smelly phones? I tried it, very very interesting! For me it was
:04:26. > :04:29.interviewing the singing spaceman Chris Hadfield.
:04:30. > :04:35.# This is ground control to Major Tom
:04:36. > :04:41.# You really made the grade. # One close encounter, it would have
:04:42. > :04:47.to be the owl. Well, that is it from Newsround. And
:04:48. > :04:50.for 2013. We will be back on the 6th January. Until then, from the team,
:04:51. > :04:51.Merry
