Hey, afternoon everyone. | 0:00:04 | 0:00:05 | |
Leah here with today's Newsround. | 0:00:05 | 0:00:06 | |
Lots to get through including... | 0:00:06 | 0:00:09 | |
One young boy's journey from Syria told in pictures. | 0:00:09 | 0:00:14 | |
But first to the dramatic story of a bus driver and eleven school | 0:00:23 | 0:00:24 | |
kids who made a lucky escape from a collapsing bridge | 0:00:26 | 0:00:28 | |
in Worcestershire. | 0:00:28 | 0:00:29 | |
It happened yesterday afternoon when two buses | 0:00:29 | 0:00:32 | |
were travelling across a bridge and the road began sinking. | 0:00:32 | 0:00:35 | |
The bus driver was able to quickly reverse as the bridge crumbled. | 0:00:35 | 0:00:39 | |
Nobody was hurt and an investigation has been launched | 0:00:39 | 0:00:43 | |
into what happened. | 0:00:43 | 0:00:44 | |
Some of the children on the bus described what happened. | 0:00:44 | 0:00:47 | |
Me and my best friend were at the back of the bus. | 0:00:47 | 0:00:50 | |
We saw a big splash in the river. | 0:00:50 | 0:00:52 | |
The bus driver didn't see, so we kept on going a quarter | 0:00:52 | 0:00:56 | |
of the way on the bridge, then the bus driver stopped. | 0:00:56 | 0:00:59 | |
The other side of the bridge went so he started reversing. | 0:00:59 | 0:01:03 | |
The bridge collapsed. | 0:01:03 | 0:01:07 | |
We didn't know whatwas happening and I felt really shocked | 0:01:07 | 0:01:09 | |
and scared because I thought we were going to die. | 0:01:09 | 0:01:14 | |
If we were just a couple of seconds earlier. | 0:01:14 | 0:01:16 | |
Something really bad could have happened. | 0:01:16 | 0:01:21 | |
First, thousands of children have been affected by the ongoing war | 0:01:21 | 0:01:24 | |
in Syria in the Middle East. | 0:01:24 | 0:01:25 | |
Many have been forced to leave the country and some have | 0:01:25 | 0:01:28 | |
even become separated from their families. | 0:01:28 | 0:01:31 | |
Omar is one of many young people who have made | 0:01:31 | 0:01:34 | |
the dangerous journey on boat, train, bus and foot all the way | 0:01:34 | 0:01:38 | |
from Syria to Calais in France, where they hope to continue | 0:01:38 | 0:01:41 | |
on to Britain. | 0:01:41 | 0:01:44 | |
A large area where lots of these people live in Calais | 0:01:44 | 0:01:47 | |
is known as the Jungle. | 0:01:47 | 0:01:48 | |
Omar has told the story of his journey through drawing pictures. | 0:01:48 | 0:01:56 | |
TRANSLATION: You could see the sunshine rising over the hills. | 0:01:56 | 0:02:00 | |
I was coming home from my uncle's house. | 0:02:00 | 0:02:03 | |
All of a sudden there was a jet. | 0:02:03 | 0:02:07 | |
We had seen many of them. | 0:02:07 | 0:02:12 | |
Even kids as young as two could tell if it was a helicopter | 0:02:12 | 0:02:16 | |
or another type of jet. | 0:02:16 | 0:02:21 | |
I could hear explosions all around me and jets as they flew by. | 0:02:21 | 0:02:29 | |
When they dropped barrel bombs nobody would dare to | 0:02:29 | 0:02:31 | |
watch where they fell. | 0:02:31 | 0:02:36 | |
If it were not for the war, I would not have left Syria. | 0:02:36 | 0:02:42 | |
I got on a boat for the first time. | 0:02:42 | 0:02:45 | |
We reached the middle of the sea and the engine made a strange noise. | 0:02:45 | 0:02:51 | |
It broke down. | 0:02:51 | 0:02:55 | |
Everybody was scared. | 0:02:55 | 0:02:58 | |
But then we saw two dolphins and for a moment | 0:02:58 | 0:03:01 | |
we forgot about the dinghy. | 0:03:01 | 0:03:07 | |
It took an hour to fix the engine before we continued our journey. | 0:03:07 | 0:03:16 | |
I left Syria and took a boat from Turkey to Greece. | 0:03:16 | 0:03:21 | |
From there, I travelled by boat and train and I walked | 0:03:21 | 0:03:31 | |
until I reached Calais. | 0:03:31 | 0:03:33 | |
I have been stuck here in the Calais jungle | 0:03:33 | 0:03:34 | |
for three and a half months. | 0:03:34 | 0:03:37 | |
There is no way out unless someone helps you. | 0:03:37 | 0:03:44 | |
I left Syria to go and live with my family in Britain. | 0:03:44 | 0:03:49 | |
It has been so long since I saw them. | 0:03:49 | 0:03:52 | |
I want to live, just like anyone else. | 0:03:52 | 0:03:57 | |
And to bring you up to date, Omar is still in France living | 0:03:57 | 0:04:00 | |
in the Calais jungle. | 0:04:00 | 0:04:02 | |
He's receiving support to try and legally reunite him | 0:04:02 | 0:04:04 | |
with his family here in the UK. | 0:04:04 | 0:04:07 | |
Omar hopes he'll be in the UK in time to start | 0:04:07 | 0:04:09 | |
school in September. | 0:04:09 | 0:04:11 | |
You can find out more about the jungle camp in Calais | 0:04:11 | 0:04:13 | |
on the Newsround website. | 0:04:13 | 0:04:17 | |
And another reason to head online is that we want you to get in touch | 0:04:17 | 0:04:20 | |
with us about another big subject. | 0:04:20 | 0:04:22 | |
Prime Minister David Cameron wants people to decide whether the UK | 0:04:22 | 0:04:26 | |
should stay in or leave an important club of countries in Europe | 0:04:26 | 0:04:29 | |
called the European Union. | 0:04:29 | 0:04:31 | |
So, do you have any questions about the vote or the union itself? | 0:04:31 | 0:04:36 | |
BBC Europe expert Katya Adler will be here tomorrow afternoon | 0:04:36 | 0:04:40 | |
to answer as many of your questions as she can. | 0:04:40 | 0:04:47 | |
That's all from me, Newsround's back here tomorrow morning with Ayshah. | 0:04:47 | 0:04:51 | |
What a that | 0:04:51 | 0:04:53 |
