:00:21. > :00:25.Good evening, Newsrounders - Hayley and Joe here taking you into the

:00:25. > :00:33.weekend in style. Here's what we've got for you today. The universal

:00:33. > :00:39.pictures that are out of this world. And I take on the nation's tape

:00:39. > :00:42.ball cricket champions. But first, a new report says not

:00:42. > :00:45.enough is being done to help children who come to the UK as

:00:45. > :00:48.asylum seekers. Thousands of kids flee countries like Syria, Sudan

:00:48. > :00:51.and Afghanistan to escape war and famine, and last year more than

:00:51. > :00:54.1,200 came to the UK without their parents. The Children's Society

:00:54. > :00:59.interviewed a small number of kids who said they felt traumatised by

:00:59. > :01:06.the way they were treated. So I've been to see what support is out

:01:06. > :01:09.there for the kids once they arrive in Britain.

:01:09. > :01:12.We don't know exactly how many kids come to the UK seeking asylum, but

:01:13. > :01:16.we do know that the numbers are in the thousands. Seeking asylum means

:01:16. > :01:19.looking for a safe place in the UK that they could call home, and

:01:19. > :01:22.they've often come from dangerous places and travelled for months to

:01:22. > :01:25.get here. As you can imagine, arriving in a strange country alone

:01:25. > :01:28.could be very scary. This is a community centre run by a charity

:01:29. > :01:37.where they try and help kids who arrive in the UK alone. Let's go

:01:37. > :01:42.and meet some of the people that help. Do you think some people feel

:01:42. > :01:47.very traumatised? Yes, absolutely. When they first arrive here, for

:01:47. > :01:52.the children, it is very dispersing. When they came to us, we try to do

:01:52. > :02:02.what we can. -- distressing. We tried to help them as much as we

:02:02. > :02:02.

:02:02. > :02:05.can. Sadly, we cannot help everybody. It is hoped that after

:02:05. > :02:12.they leave this centre, the kids will feel more settled into their

:02:12. > :02:17.life in Britain. What do you do at this school to help the kids?

:02:17. > :02:24.have a special assembly. I think it is really good for us to get to

:02:24. > :02:29.know them, so they are not scared, so they can settle into a our

:02:29. > :02:35.lifestyle. It can take a while for the Government to decide where a

:02:35. > :02:37.child will be placed permanently, and that can be stressful. In the

:02:37. > :02:42.meantime there are community centres and schools like this to

:02:42. > :02:45.help them settle in. Well today I spoke to the UK Border Agency -

:02:45. > :02:48.they're the people who first meet the children arriving here. They

:02:48. > :02:51.say they take their responsibility of care for children very seriously,

:02:51. > :02:54.and they're already working on ways to improve the things. One group of

:02:54. > :02:56.refugees who have certainly embraced life in the UK is the

:02:56. > :02:59.Manchester Lightning tape ball cricket team. They're made up

:02:59. > :03:02.entirely of asylum seekers from Afghanistan and have ended up UK

:03:02. > :03:05.Champions. So on the day when England's pro cricket team take on

:03:05. > :03:08.Afghanistan in their first match of the T20 World Cup, you went along

:03:08. > :03:17.to have a chat with them, didn't you? And see who they'll be

:03:17. > :03:19.supporting! Their bowling is fast, their batting skills are top class

:03:19. > :03:21.and their fielding isn't bad, either. But that's what you'd

:03:21. > :03:27.expect from the Manchester Lightening - the national tape-ball

:03:27. > :03:31.cricket champions. And for these Afghan refugees, the game has

:03:31. > :03:34.helped them settle in to British life. This special version of

:03:34. > :03:37.cricket is part of StreetChance - a campaign which works with the

:03:37. > :03:39.police in urban areas lacking in green spaces, and allows young

:03:39. > :03:42.people to concentrate on cricket and their studies rather than

:03:42. > :03:46.joining gangs and getting involved in anti-social behaviour. The game

:03:46. > :03:56.uses a tennis ball wrapped in tape and it can be played anywhere These

:03:56. > :03:59.

:03:59. > :04:03.players say its made a difference to their lives. The first time I

:04:03. > :04:08.came here, I did not know anyone. When I started playing cricket, I

:04:08. > :04:12.made friends. From playing cricket, I learnt English. I will play

:04:12. > :04:17.anywhere, it does not matter where it is. Over the past four years,

:04:17. > :04:27.25,000 people have been introduced to the game in seven cities. The

:04:27. > :04:30.coach here says he has noticed the change in his players. Now, because

:04:30. > :04:35.of StreetChance, we have lads from all over, so they're making friends

:04:35. > :04:40.that they have never made before. Over the next three years,

:04:40. > :04:45.StreetChance aims to get more than 16,000 young people involved. But

:04:45. > :04:54.which team will these guys be supporting this afternoon, England

:04:55. > :05:03.or Afghanistan? Afghanistan! that game is happening right now.

:05:03. > :05:06.The man charged with killing two female police officers in Greater

:05:06. > :05:10.Manchester has appeared in court for the first time. Dale Cregan was

:05:10. > :05:13.escorted by lots of police officers this morning. He's accused of

:05:13. > :05:15.murdering PCs Nicola Hughes and Fiona Bone and two others. Today,

:05:15. > :05:20.Prime Minister David Cameron visited the police officers'

:05:20. > :05:23.families. There have been more violent protests against an anti-

:05:23. > :05:27.Islamic film made in America. One man has been killed in rioting

:05:27. > :05:30.across cities in Pakistan. To try to stop the violence, the American

:05:30. > :05:35.President, Barack Obama, has condemned the film in an advert

:05:35. > :05:38.being broadcast on Pakistani TV. Now take a look at these amazing

:05:38. > :05:42.pictures. These aren't sent by NASA from

:05:42. > :05:45.space. These are photos taken right here on earth for the Astronomy

:05:45. > :05:48.Photographer of the Year competition. Photo experts say the

:05:48. > :05:54.reason the images are so striking this time is because snappers are

:05:54. > :06:04.getting much cleverer and more creative with the shots they take.

:06:04. > :06:08.

:06:08. > :06:10.You can see more of the pictures on the news round website. Am When we

:06:10. > :06:13.talk about conservation projects, that often means looking at animals

:06:13. > :06:16.like rhinos and tigers. But there are some much smaller creatures

:06:16. > :06:19.that also need help from humans - like spiders. Nearly 2,500 fen raft

:06:19. > :06:23.spiderlings are being hand-reared at zoos around the UK, so I went to

:06:23. > :06:27.take a closer look. For some people, coming across one spider is enough

:06:27. > :06:33.to bring them out in a cold sweat. But what about finding yourself in

:06:33. > :06:36.a nursery of hundreds of hungry spiderlings?! This manmade spiders'

:06:36. > :06:41.nest at Chester Zoo is one of 11 such projects across the country

:06:41. > :06:44.right now helping to save the endangered fen raft spider. Fen

:06:44. > :06:50.raft spiders are the largest spider native to Britain, with a 10cm leg

:06:50. > :06:52.span! They get their name because they can float on water in the fens

:06:53. > :06:55.and wetlands where they live. But their numbers have fallen to

:06:55. > :06:59.seriously low levels due to their natural habitat being destroyed.

:06:59. > :07:09.That's where Chester Zoo steps in. They've taken hundreds of eggs and

:07:09. > :07:11.

:07:11. > :07:16.are rearing them to be released into the wild. Karan has got 372

:07:16. > :07:24.sets of fans to feed, which means she needs thousands of fruit flies.

:07:24. > :07:29.Why does this Biden need saving? They are a very important part of

:07:30. > :07:36.the ecology. They will feed on and midges and mosquitoes. How bad are

:07:36. > :07:39.things in the wild? There are only three known or pockets of wild

:07:40. > :07:44.spiders left. Slowly it is improving, as we are releasing them

:07:44. > :07:48.back into the wild. Last year was the first time we actually saw

:07:48. > :07:51.these spiders breeding for themselves in the environment.

:07:51. > :07:54.couple of weeks' time, this lot will be big enough to be released

:07:55. > :08:02.into the wild, and they will be joined by thousands of others. It

:08:02. > :08:10.is good news for the fen rafts. I was a bit scared, actually. Funnily

:08:10. > :08:13.enough, she was scared of spiders One Direction have released their

:08:13. > :08:17.new single early after an unofficial version was leaked on

:08:17. > :08:19.the Internet. It was supposed to be released next week but got its

:08:19. > :08:22.first official radio play last night. Live While We're Young is

:08:22. > :08:25.the first single from One Direction's new album, Take Me Home,

:08:25. > :08:30.which comes out in November. And here's a pop performance giving the

:08:30. > :08:33.boys a run for their money. Gangnam Style has got over 200

:08:34. > :08:37.million hits on the Internet and counting. It's already at number 16

:08:37. > :08:41.in the charts here and if it keeps climbing it could be the first ever

:08:41. > :08:44.UK number one for a Korean artist. Psy's freaky moves are so

:08:44. > :08:54.infectious, they've even got pop princess Britney Spears busting it

:08:54. > :08:54.
