Good evening team CBBC, Leah and Ricky with you this Thursday.

One have given us 7 minutes to get you guys up to date with the very

latest. Coming up... Find out what Kermit was handing out to Ant and

Dec. And I've been protecting planes with a high-tech human

scarecrow. But first to the growing row between the British and

Argentinian governments over who owns a small group of islands in

the South Atlantic called the Falklands. Protesters have been

taking to the streets of Argentina after our Prime Minister, David

Cameron, criticised their continued efforts to regain control of the

islands. In April, it'll be 30 years since the Falklands War but

the row between the two countries shows no sign of going away.

British flag burning in the streets of Argentina's capital, Buenos

Aires, a sign of just how passionately many people here still

feel about the Falklands Islands. Boats from the islands have been

banned from landing in Argentina and some other South American

countries, including Brazil. The Argentines say the Falklands, which

they call Las Malvinas, belong to them, not Britain and say they were

wrongly taken off them in the early 1800s. They even teach children in

their first year of primary school that the islands are Argentinian

despite the Falkland Islanders considering themselves to be

British. Today the Falklands are a peaceful and pretty place. But 30

years ago, these rugged islands were a battleground where over 900

people died. It was in 1982, after the Argentine Navy invaded the

islands that a short but brutal conflict began. British and

Argentinian troops fought in the air, at sea and on foot for three

months before Britain finally declared victory. But why is

Argentina so excited about the islands again? Well, one of the

reasons could be that oil's been discovered off the coast of the

Falklands that might be worth a lot of money to whoever owns them. But

the British government says as long as the islanders want to remain

British, they'll be looked after. Although there's a lot of anger in

both Argentina and Britain, that doesn't mean the two countries

would go to war again. Both countries' armed forces are less

powerful than they were and it would cost a huge amount of money.

But as the 30th anniversary of the war approaches, for people on the

island it remains a very tense and uneasy time. A British soldier who

lost an arm when he was badly injured in Afghanistan has become

the first serviceman to use a new bionic arm. Andrew had six hours of

surgery at a hospital in Austria to be fitted with the arm that he will

be able to control with his brain. He can now rotate his new hand 360

degrees. Amazing stuff. Next, to the injured British servicemen who

have been rowing across the Atlantic. We've been following

their journey and they've done it after 51 days at sea. The six-man

team battled a number of setbacks, including nearly running out of

drinking water. When they arrived in Barbados they were greeted by

friends and family and even got a message from the Queen. Now it's

almost impossible to get Dr Who, The X Factor and Strictly Come

Dancing gang all in the same room. But tell them a few awards are up

for grabs and you'll have them rushing to the The O2 Arena. Last

night it was packed with TV's hottest talent for the National

Television Awards. The Awards opened with a light-hearted song

and shuffle from Ant, Dec and TV legend Bruce Forsyth. Let there be

bristly. So Bruce to you! Brucie! But away from the stage TV

stars were ready to do battle. Unlike other awards like the Baftas

and Brits the winners are chosen by viewers at home. Here's the rundown

of the winners... Doctor Who's dream team Karen Gillan and Matt

Smith both picked gongs for best actor. The X Factor won best talent

show and Gary Barlow was given an Outstanding Contributor Award.

award is absolutely fantastic. David Wallliams won an award for

swimming the length of the Thames and was given a standing ovation

But get this. As well as winning an award for "I'm a Celebrity"

presenter double act Ant and Dec took home Best Entertainment

Presenters for the 11th year running, proving the nation still

can't get enough of the cheeky geordie duo. Now did you know that

birds can cause major problems at airports? If they get in the way of

the aeroplanes they can cause serious damage. That's why a team

of experts known as high-tech scarecrows make it their mission to

keep our feathered friends off the runway. I went to Manchester

airport to find out more. Is it a bird, is it a plane? Manchester

Airport it can sometimes be both. Birds can cause disruption for

aeroplanes, if they hit engines they can stop working. Nearly three

years ago a plane above New York had to land in a nearby river, a

flock of geese collided with the engine, causing them to fail.

Thanks to the pilot everybody survived. Luckily, this hardly ever

happens. To prevent birds from striking the planes when they land

and take of Manchester Airport had a special team at which keep the

runway say. To dare have come to watch Gerry, the man when it comes

to scaring off birds! - Madrid today I have come. We make sure

nothing goes wrong and that there are no problems, if we were not out

there doing that then they could be problems. Jerry's main weapon is a

car with loudspeakers, playing the sound effects of birds. That scares

off the real ones. In the most extreme cases Gerry has to fire a

gun, a really loud noise which scares of the birds. Don't worry,

they are not real bullets, just warning shots. While 300 flights

take-off every day and land at Manchester, Gerry has had some

strange visitors, like a Flamengo. That hung around for quite a while

and stopped aircraft coming in and departing for a while. But he never

gives up his battle of the skies. Bird strikes hardly ever happen and

when you have people like Gerry here doing a fantastic job you know

you are in safe hands. Nice wheels. What else did you

find? Nothing else but they did tell us just before Christmas a dog

ended up on the runway causing disruption! Tennis next and Rafa

Nadal has beaten Roger Federer to reach the final of the Australian

Open. Nadal took the match in four sets, coming back from one set down,

in just under four hours. He'll now face either Andy Murray or Novak

Djokovic, who play tomorrow. we've got some dramatic footage

that we just have to share with you. Take a look at this. An ice hockey

team escaped unhurt after the roof of their skating rink collapsed

just seconds after they finished their training session on the ice.

The ceiling caved in because too much snow had fallen on top of it.
