Hi, Ayshah here.

Your top stories on Newsround today.

We get ready for tonight's

Brit Awards and...

Why this baby rhino and his mum have

only just been reunited.

First to the US.

After an attack at a school

in Florida last week,

students there have been making

a stand against guns.

BBC reporter Paul Blake has

travelled with the pupils who're

talking to politicians

about the changes they want.

All of the students on board

are survivors of the school shooting

that happened last week in the city

of Parkland in South Florida.

Last week's attack is the sixth

gun attack on a school

in the US this year.

Today we are on our way to the state

capitol to speak to some lawmakers

in charge there about ways we can

make our schools safer

and ways to place controls

on guns in our country.

I do not feel safe in my school.

I was incredibly afraid.

I was scared for all my friends,

I was scared for my little

sister and everyone there.

They need to know that that should

never ever happen to anybody else,

no one should have to feel the fear

that I felt.

We want to talk to lobby groups

about making laws more strict

so that less people have access

to guns and other weapons,

so less kids get hurt.

The students are not alone.

Many people in the United States

want the gun laws made tougher but,

at the same time, many people want

them to remain the same.

In recent years politicians have

decided to keep the gun

laws mostly unchanged.

But the students on board the bus

today say that they think they can

convince the politicians to make

the gun laws safer and they drove

eight hours today to

talk to them about it.

I'm so proud of all my friends.

We are young, not much older

than you are, but we are really

making a big difference I think.

Many of these students

have never been involved

with politics but they say

they are just getting started.

Next month they will go

all the way to Washington,

DC where they say they will hold

a protest and tell the adults

that they need to do more to keep

America's kids safe.

And if you want to know

more about this story,

you can go online right now.

Also if you're upset by any

of the things you see in the news,

we have loads of advice

for you there too.

It s the BRITS tonight,

the biggest event in British

I've been finding out some weird

and fun facts about it?

Five things you might not

know about the Brits.

Different categories come and go.

One year there was the Best

British Comedy Record.

And in 2013 one Direction

got the catchy title

of Brits Global Success Award.

That's it, I'm making

up my own award, Best Dancing

Newsround Presenter.

Sorry, Ricky.

The reason why we have the Brits

is because of the Queen.

Seriously, it all started back

in 1977 to mark her silver jubilee.

It is now in its 30th

year and showcasing all

of Britain's best music talent.

The statue is meant to be a female

personification of Britain.

That's a big word!

Basically it's meant to be a female

symbol of the UK which is why

it is shaped like this.

A famous British artist

designs it every year.

Most awards are voted

for by just 1000 people.

These guys are really

into their music.

DJs and record labels choose

who they think are the best artists.

But this year two

categories are up to you.

That is the British

Artist Video of the Year

and the British Breakthrough act.

And finally, it's a massive

social media event.

In 2016 when One Direction

won Best British Band

they broke the Internet.

Well, they didn't actually break it,

but it was the most talked

about event on Twitter that year

in the UK.

I wonder what we'll be

talking about this year?

And we'll bring you all the BRITs

winners tomorrow on Newsround.

Next up, a white rhino

that was looked after and fed

entirely by people has been reunited

with its mother.

Introducing Belle -

she was named after the character

in Beauty and the Beast.

And she lives at

Cotswold Wildlife Park.

She needed extra special treatment

for an injured leg after birth.

A team of zoo keepers

were with her 24-hours a day

until she could be reintroduced

to her mother Nancy.

They even had to sleep with her.

Thanks for watching.

Ricky's back in the morning.
