0:00:46 > 0:00:55larger than the media says and they aren't being fair to him.

0:01:05 > 0:01:15they don't think Donald Trump will do enough to protect.

0:01:15 > 0:01:17Now, some of you might play musical instruments,

0:01:40 > 0:01:41Yes.

0:01:41 > 0:01:43Tell me a little bit about it.

0:01:43 > 0:01:45It's busy, and exciting.

0:01:45 > 0:01:54It can be very noisy, and it can be kind of annoying when you wake up.

0:01:54 > 0:01:57I'm rather used to it, when you always wake up

0:01:57 > 0:02:00and I can always hear a noise and the sound of music.

0:02:00 > 0:02:09What do you love about music, and why?

0:02:09 > 0:02:13I love music because it just has a lovely nice sound

0:02:13 > 0:02:16with every instrument.

0:02:16 > 0:02:19What I love about music is the fact that everyone is different, it's not

0:02:19 > 0:02:21like maths where the answer's always the same.

0:02:21 > 0:02:23What is it like, you all play musical instruments,

0:02:23 > 0:02:25what is it like to play as a group?

0:02:25 > 0:02:28When we all get together it's really nice, it's just really

0:02:28 > 0:02:29noisy and I like that.

0:02:29 > 0:02:31It's really nice playing with siblings because it's easy

0:02:31 > 0:02:34to tell them what to do without putting it into

0:02:34 > 0:02:37words, they just kind of know what to do next.

0:02:37 > 0:02:38You just look at people...

0:02:38 > 0:02:42Yeah, and they just know what to do!

0:02:42 > 0:02:44I couldn't leave this musical home without asking them

0:02:44 > 0:02:46for one special request.

0:02:46 > 0:02:49Would you play the Newsround theme music?

0:02:49 > 0:02:59THEY PLAY THE "NEWSROUND" THEME.

0:02:59 > 0:03:09Not bad, guys, not bad.

0:03:09 > 0:03:14Now, to a sport that is the Formula 1 of the ice skating world -

0:03:14 > 0:03:15long-track speed skating.

0:03:15 > 0:03:17Great Britain dominated the sport around 100 years ago,

0:03:17 > 0:03:21however as time went on the sport has almost died out here in the UK.

0:03:21 > 0:03:28But BBC reporter Mike Bushell has been to check out

0:03:28 > 0:03:30the new home for GB speed skating in the Netherlands.

0:03:30 > 0:03:33The frozen Fens in east England was the home of a traditional form

0:03:33 > 0:03:36of ice skating called track speed skating, where people would race

0:03:36 > 0:03:38each other on a frozen lake around a long track,

0:03:38 > 0:03:40a test of speed and endurance.

0:03:40 > 0:03:42However, in recent years the temperatures have risen

0:03:42 > 0:03:45and the Fens rarely freeze over, meaning people can't skate on them.

0:03:45 > 0:03:49This meant the popularity of track speed skating dropped in the UK.

0:03:49 > 0:03:52However, here in the Netherlands, it's booming.

0:03:52 > 0:03:56And some of the UK's best long-track speed skaters are now training

0:03:56 > 0:04:00here at this giant arena for their competitions.

0:04:00 > 0:04:03So who better to try out this cool new sport than the BBC's

0:04:03 > 0:04:04very own Mike Bushell?

0:04:04 > 0:04:07And what's the point if you don't have the right

0:04:07 > 0:04:08clothing for the job, hey?

0:04:08 > 0:04:11Looking good, buddy!

0:04:11 > 0:04:13Let's find out why people enjoy speed skating.

0:04:13 > 0:04:16I feel like I'm part of the wind!

0:04:16 > 0:04:19The first couple of steps you really need to be explosive,

0:04:19 > 0:04:22really get that speed up, because then the second bit

0:04:22 > 0:04:25you can really accelerate on and really finish your stride.

0:04:25 > 0:04:28It's hoped that top facilities like this will encourage more people

0:04:28 > 0:04:31to try out long-track speed skating.

0:04:31 > 0:04:39I love your style, Mike, but maybe leave it to the professionals!
