Hi, I'm Ricky with Newsround this Monday afternoon. | :00:00. | :00:00. | |
Could this be the worst time ever to get the hiccups? | :00:07. | :00:19. | |
And the rescued lion that's finally free. | :00:20. | :00:32. | |
First , Astronaut Major Tim Peake has | :00:33. | :00:34. | |
completed his training ahead of his trip to the International | :00:35. | :00:38. | |
Major Tim peat is about to make some serious space history. He is set to | :00:39. | :01:02. | |
become the first British astronaut to live on board the International | :01:03. | :01:06. | |
Space Station. This will be his first trip into space. | :01:07. | :01:07. | |
Yeah we've trained a long time for this, so we're very ready | :01:08. | :01:12. | |
Tim is travelling with a Russian who has been to the space station | :01:13. | :01:23. | |
before. If something happens | :01:24. | :01:24. | |
which he doesn't understand? He has to watch how others react | :01:25. | :01:26. | |
and not rush. In space everything | :01:27. | :01:28. | |
moves very slowly. Tim has been practising in this | :01:29. | :01:38. | |
spacecraft, similar to the one they will travel in. | :01:39. | :01:40. | |
It can take around 24 hours to get to the station so they need to have | :01:41. | :01:44. | |
It is a long period, two and a half years. And everything we do here is | :01:45. | :01:59. | |
in Russia must learning Russian language as well. The whole | :02:00. | :02:03. | |
experience is a huge privilege and will be tremendously exciting, | :02:04. | :02:06. | |
seeing the first view of planet Earth from space will be the most | :02:07. | :02:08. | |
exciting moment. So the crew have passed | :02:09. | :02:12. | |
their final exam. Next to the story of Mufasa | :02:13. | :02:14. | |
the lion. It's thought Mufasa had been captured from the wild as | :02:15. | :02:25. | |
a cub by a South American circus who then kept him chained to the back | :02:26. | :02:28. | |
of a truck for most of his life. After being rescued | :02:29. | :02:31. | |
and being brought back to health the big cat was taken on | :02:32. | :02:34. | |
a three day journey by road and boat to a special reserve in the Amazon | :02:35. | :02:37. | |
rainforest - where he can now live Next, to news of | :02:38. | :02:40. | |
a high-tech solar powered plant that It's in Morocco in North Africa and | :02:41. | :02:45. | |
uses melting salt to create energy. Wasassat, | :02:46. | :02:51. | |
an ancient city in East Morocco is Row upon row of mirrors capturing | :02:52. | :02:53. | |
the power of the desert sun. Once complete, it will be able to | :02:54. | :03:04. | |
provide energy to a million people. During daylight hours, these mirrors | :03:05. | :03:08. | |
track the sun through the sky. It is known | :03:09. | :03:16. | |
as concentrated solar power. Each mirror directs | :03:17. | :03:20. | |
the sun's rays that hit the tube Outside the tube is oil | :03:21. | :03:23. | |
which is boiled to 400 Celsius, then transported and used here to | :03:24. | :03:31. | |
make steam and produce electricity. But in order to generate power | :03:32. | :03:35. | |
after dark, it uses the sun's energy to melt | :03:36. | :03:38. | |
salt in this huge cylinder which has This thing you see here is a tank | :03:39. | :03:41. | |
where we store salt just like the During the day, we heat this up, | :03:42. | :03:50. | |
in order to keep the heat we will use to produce electricity, | :03:51. | :03:59. | |
and this is quite a big innovation. We are able to store up to | :04:00. | :04:01. | |
three hours of energy. It's hoped that this sort | :04:02. | :04:04. | |
of technology is the future of renewable energy and poorer nations | :04:05. | :04:07. | |
want help from rich countries to develop technology like this to help | :04:08. | :04:10. | |
fuel the future, day and night. I'm pretty sure singing | :04:11. | :04:21. | |
your national anthem in front of thousands is something no one | :04:22. | :04:23. | |
would forget. Well, this 7-year-old boy | :04:24. | :04:25. | |
from Australia stole the show Ethan stood up to sing | :04:26. | :04:27. | |
the national anthem before He did make it to then though | :04:28. | :04:31. | |
and got a massive round of applause from the crowd and high | :04:32. | :04:50. | |
fives from all the players. That's all from me, Newsround's back | :04:51. | :04:52. | |
right here in the morning in the meantime get to the newsround | :04:53. | :04:55. | |
