Good morning.

0:00:090:00:12

It's Sunday and I'm here with everything you need to know

0:00:120:00:15

in a live Newsround update.

0:00:150:00:16

First, a big announcement has been made about the future of the UK.

0:00:160:00:20

The Prime Minister David Cameron wants people to decide

0:00:200:00:22

whether we should stay in or leave an important club of

0:00:220:00:25

countries in Europe.

0:00:250:00:28

He has asked adults to take part in a special vote called

0:00:280:00:31

a referendum on 23 June.

0:00:310:00:32

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

0:00:320:00:33

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

0:00:350:00:38

So what's it all about?

0:00:380:00:40

Ayshah has got everything you need to know in 60 seconds.

0:00:400:00:44

The European Union in 60 seconds.

0:00:440:00:46

In 1973, people dressed like this.

0:00:460:00:49

Slade ruled the charts.

0:00:490:00:51

And Newsround was only one-year-old.

0:00:510:00:53

And that is when the UK joined what is

0:00:530:00:55

now known as the European Union, or EU.

0:00:550:00:57

It is a club of 28 countries from around Europe

0:00:570:01:00

who work together.

0:01:000:01:02

This is its symbol.

0:01:020:01:04

It has got its own parliament, its own anthem

0:01:040:01:07

and its own money, the euro,

0:01:070:01:09

used by most of its members but not the UK.

0:01:090:01:12

Countries join the EU

0:01:120:01:14

because they think it will help bring Europe closer together.

0:01:140:01:16

Now British Minister David Cameron

0:01:160:01:18

has promised to hold a vote

0:01:180:01:21

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

0:01:210:01:24

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

0:01:240:01:27

That is because we buy and sell lots of things

0:01:270:01:30

with European countries.

0:01:300:01:33

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

0:01:330:01:36

They say leaving will give British people

0:01:360:01:38

more control over issues like immigration.

0:01:380:01:41

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

0:01:410:01:45

when they vote this summer.

0:01:450:01:48

And you can keep up to date with all you need to know

0:01:480:01:51

with our special guide over on the Newsround website.

0:01:510:01:58

0:02:020:02:04

He made 11 saves to help his side finish with a goalless draw

0:02:040:02:07

at the Emirates Stadium.

0:02:070:02:09

The two sides face a replay to decide who will progress

0:02:090:02:12

Finally, if you are planning a Sunday bike ride today

0:02:280:02:30

here is some inspiration for you.

0:02:300:02:32

A cyclist has been getting creative by using a GPS app on his phone

0:02:320:02:35

to create works of art.

0:02:350:02:36

He has clocked up thousands of miles cycling around his home town

0:02:360:02:40

in Canada, drawing pictures including dinosaurs,

0:02:400:02:45

dolphins and even Darth Vader.
