:00:21. > :00:24.Hello, everyone. Newsround has officially invaded BBC One. We have

:00:24. > :00:29.seven minutes to get you bang up to date with everything you need to

:00:29. > :00:32.know to kick-start the weekend. On the way it tonight, Press Packers

:00:32. > :00:38.march on Parliament for kids in Afghanistan.

:00:38. > :00:42.And remember this? We hear from the pilot who escaped unharmed.

:00:42. > :00:47.Before all of that, it has been six years since celebrity chef Jamie

:00:47. > :00:52.Oliver started his big drive to make school dinners healthy. He got

:00:52. > :00:58.the Government to force schools in England today to turkey twizzlers

:00:58. > :01:02.for fresh and nutritious meals. But now he has worried some schools are

:01:02. > :01:10.putting fatty foods back on the menu. Love them or hate them, the

:01:10. > :01:14.chances are you eat them. Like most schools, food here is made

:01:14. > :01:18.according to strict rules set out by the Government. Because it is

:01:19. > :01:24.Friday, there are treats like pizza and fish and chips. Which will they

:01:24. > :01:27.choose? In 2006, celebrity chef Jamie Oliver was so shocked by the

:01:27. > :01:31.food in British schools, that he launched a campaign to change

:01:31. > :01:36.things. He said that good school dinners made healthier and smarter

:01:36. > :01:40.kids. But it was not easy. Crisps with this one, please. These

:01:40. > :01:44.parents rebelled against him and delivered takeaways to the school

:01:44. > :01:48.gates. Eventually it did work, and a law was brought in putting

:01:48. > :01:52.healthier menus in English schools. Now Jamie is worried that things

:01:52. > :01:58.could be slipping back. They are taking away the nutritional

:01:58. > :02:03.standards that are now the law, which is a vision for young

:02:03. > :02:07.people's health and the future. It could be a disaster. The problem is

:02:07. > :02:10.with Academy Schools, which can now choose whichever food they like

:02:10. > :02:16.which could mean they go for cheaper junk food. These kids think

:02:16. > :02:22.it is good to have a balance of healthy food. If I had a healthy

:02:22. > :02:26.lunch at school it would get me through the day more easily. It up

:02:26. > :02:31.to be stronger and healthier. Campaigners like Jamie Oliver it so

:02:31. > :02:34.they expected this fight to take many years, but unless they clamp

:02:34. > :02:37.down now, school dinners could get worse.

:02:37. > :02:41.We have been asking for your thoughts on this and they have been

:02:41. > :02:45.flooding in. Joshua from Derbyshire says that his school dinners used

:02:45. > :02:52.to be amazing but suddenly they switched to cheap and nasty

:02:52. > :02:56.solutions. Lawrence says that her school meals

:02:56. > :03:00.used to be horrible and unhealthy but now they are healthy apart from

:03:00. > :03:04.when they have pizza on a Friday. Charlie from Southampton says that

:03:04. > :03:10.their school has a cafe which is great. You choose what you like,

:03:10. > :03:14.and their sandwiches and pasta, but it is too expensive. Krystian from

:03:14. > :03:19.Yorkshire agrees. It is not that they are healthy, but they cost too

:03:19. > :03:22.much to buy, even the pudding. Thank you for those comments.

:03:22. > :03:27.If there was a prize for the most amazing pictures of the week, I

:03:27. > :03:30.know what I would pick. Do you remember this? The pilot of his

:03:30. > :03:34.helicopter in New Zealand had a lucky escape after his machine span

:03:34. > :03:38.out of control when he was tried to put up a Christmas tree. He was OK.

:03:38. > :03:44.He has been speaking about what happened. Because it happened so

:03:44. > :03:49.quickly it was like a dream, really. Just like bang. The belt which is

:03:49. > :03:54.attached to the floor of the aircraft. If I was not wearing that,

:03:54. > :03:58.I would have been all over. From one extraordinary story to another.

:03:58. > :04:02.Monique van der Vorst was paralysed after an accident as a teenager.

:04:02. > :04:06.She went on to represent the Netherlands in hand cycling,

:04:06. > :04:09.winning two Paralympic silver medals. Last year she was hit by

:04:09. > :04:12.another cyclist and unbelievably that accident has reversed the

:04:12. > :04:19.effects of the first one. She can now walk and has been offered the

:04:19. > :04:22.chance to compete for their country as an able-bodied athlete.

:04:22. > :04:26.spasm relaxed. Why was sent to hospital and nobody really knew

:04:27. > :04:31.what was going on. I felt something in my feet but they were feet I had

:04:31. > :04:37.not felt the 13 years. After three- and-a-half months I got movement

:04:37. > :04:40.back in my legs. Now, education in Afghanistan. The

:04:40. > :04:44.country has been affected by war for decades and lots of children

:04:44. > :04:48.don't get the chance to go to school, especially girls. Charities

:04:48. > :04:55.are trying to help and 150 schoolkids from Britain and Europe

:04:55. > :04:59.have travelled to Afghanistan to raise awareness of the state of

:04:59. > :05:05.education there. They included our Press Packers.

:05:05. > :05:10.I am Nina. I am Joe. We are raising money for kids and Afghanistan to

:05:10. > :05:15.help them go to school. We are about to join 150 kids from Europe

:05:15. > :05:17.at the House of Commons. We are handing over a letter of to the

:05:17. > :05:21.Minister for International Development to see if he can help

:05:21. > :05:24.more children get education. For decades Afghanistan has been

:05:24. > :05:31.affected by war. British troops have been operating there for 10

:05:31. > :05:35.years. The Taliban, who ruled the country from 1996-2001, stop girls

:05:35. > :05:39.from going to school at all. They were overthrown and now more girls

:05:39. > :05:42.are getting an education but lots of children cannot read or write.

:05:42. > :05:47.What is it like for the children over there? What are you trying to

:05:47. > :05:50.do? Life is very tough for children in Afghanistan. Lots of them have

:05:50. > :05:54.to go and work and lots of them live where there is fighting. If

:05:54. > :05:58.they do manage to get to school, there is often a building and they

:05:58. > :06:03.have to sit outside. Our aim is to get all children into fantastic

:06:03. > :06:09.schools of high quality by 2020. What would you like to happen to

:06:09. > :06:14.your country? First of all I would like peas to come. I would like to

:06:14. > :06:24.see doctors and engineers of the future, especially girls. They face

:06:24. > :06:28.

:06:28. > :06:31.a lot of obstacles in Afghanistan. Luck, we are nearly there. We're

:06:31. > :06:37.going into the House of Commons to give our letter to the minister,

:06:37. > :06:40.Alan Duncan. We went into the House of Commons a

:06:40. > :06:43.few hours ago and the minister to our letter. There are still

:06:43. > :06:49.millions of children that cannot even go to primary school and we

:06:50. > :06:53.want to change that. This is Nina. And Joe reporting for Newsround.

:06:53. > :06:57.The great work. We know that David Beckham is one

:06:57. > :07:01.of the best players on the pitch, but check him out with his eyes

:07:01. > :07:04.closed. He managed to score this blindfolded during a training

:07:04. > :07:07.session with the British Olympic visually-impaired football squad.

:07:07. > :07:13.He was also put through his paces trying out different schools and he

:07:13. > :07:17.got the hang of it pretty quickly. Check this out. Impressive. That is
