It's Wednesday the 26th of March, Ayshah here. Coming up on this | :00:00. | :00:13. | |
morning's Newsround. I'm happy he's doing it but I'm sad he's gone. | :00:14. | :00:17. | |
We hear from a front line family about missing their Dad fighting in | :00:18. | :00:19. | |
Afghanistan. It's all blue in Manchester as City | :00:20. | :00:25. | |
thump their local rivals 3-0. First up though - many of you in | :00:26. | :00:29. | |
England and Wales will be off school today as thousands of teachers go on | :00:30. | :00:32. | |
strike. Members of the National Union of Teachers aren't going into | :00:33. | :00:36. | |
work today in protest over changes that the government wants to make to | :00:37. | :00:39. | |
their pay, and how much they work. The government says by not going to | :00:40. | :00:42. | |
work teachers are damaging children's learning, but the union | :00:43. | :00:45. | |
says they've been forced into it, because talks about the issue were | :00:46. | :00:51. | |
not working. Next, people in the armed forces | :00:52. | :00:54. | |
often move around for their job and can get sent away for months at a | :00:55. | :00:59. | |
time to fight in war zones abroad. For families left behind, it can be | :01:00. | :01:02. | |
a worrying time, but modern technology helps to stay in touch. | :01:03. | :01:10. | |
We've been to see three girls whose dad is away in Afghanistan with the | :01:11. | :01:14. | |
Royal Air Force to find out what life is like for them. | :01:15. | :01:16. | |
Sisters Emily, Kiera and Lucy and are used to their dad working away | :01:17. | :01:20. | |
with the RAF, but sometimes life in a military family is hard. My dad is | :01:21. | :01:26. | |
in the RAF and right now he is in Afghanistan and it's around by | :01:27. | :01:29. | |
Pakistan and Iraq which are desert places. And his job is he makes sure | :01:30. | :01:38. | |
the runways are safe before certain planes fly off from certain places | :01:39. | :01:41. | |
and he has meetings with people about it and he has to make sure | :01:42. | :01:48. | |
we're all safe back here. I'm proud of him but I just wish he was here, | :01:49. | :01:52. | |
that's the thing, so I'm happy that he's doing it, but I'm sad that he's | :01:53. | :01:56. | |
gone. It's hard to cope when he's away. Lucy and Keira have got their | :01:57. | :02:03. | |
charts and things they look at and it shows like where abouts he | :02:04. | :02:08. | |
actually is and things like that. The girls can keep in touch with | :02:09. | :02:12. | |
letters, phone calls and video chats. Their dad Matt even managed | :02:13. | :02:15. | |
to make an appearance at Christmas dinner, despite the fact he was in | :02:16. | :02:22. | |
Afghanistan. On Christmas day, we definitely tried not to look at the | :02:23. | :02:26. | |
down side of things. We tried to be really happy, and we were actually | :02:27. | :02:29. | |
really lucky to get through to him, because some families couldn't get | :02:30. | :02:32. | |
through to their mums or dads in Afghanistan because of the amount of | :02:33. | :02:36. | |
people using the internet. But even with the help of technology, the | :02:37. | :02:39. | |
girls say missing their dad and worrying about him is difficult. I | :02:40. | :02:42. | |
don't really like watching the news because I don't really want to see | :02:43. | :02:45. | |
what's happening there if something's bad happened. So that's | :02:46. | :02:49. | |
what makes me upset as well, if he's going to get hurt or injured. | :02:50. | :02:52. | |
When they're feeling upset, the girls pull together to cheer each | :02:53. | :02:58. | |
other up. I tell them not to worry because he'll be home soon. | :02:59. | :03:05. | |
Now at last the waiting is over. Dad Matt is arriving home early from his | :03:06. | :03:09. | |
tour, but the girls don't know he's back so soon. Surprise! It's all | :03:10. | :03:25. | |
right, you don't need to get up. And there's a special 15-minute | :03:26. | :03:27. | |
programme all about children from military families right here on CBBC | :03:28. | :03:31. | |
this afternoon. That's front line Families, a Newsround special at | :03:32. | :03:37. | |
5.30pm. Space news now, and we have liftoff. | :03:38. | :03:40. | |
The 07:25 26/03/2014 blasted off in spectacular fashion last night from | :03:41. | :03:47. | |
its launch pad in Kazakhstan. One American astronaut and two Russian | :03:48. | :03:50. | |
cosmonauts are on board. An engine problem has delayed their arrival at | :03:51. | :03:53. | |
the International Space Station, but NASA say that the crew are in no | :03:54. | :03:56. | |
danger. They're expected to arrive on Thursday night. | :03:57. | :04:03. | |
Sport now, and Manchester City sit just three points behind leaders | :04:04. | :04:05. | |
Chelsea in the Premier League, with two games in hand, after a 3-0 win | :04:06. | :04:09. | |
over their rivals United last night. A goal from Edin Dzeko within the | :04:10. | :04:13. | |
first minute of the game set the tone for a one-sided contest at Old | :04:14. | :04:17. | |
Trafford. He picked up another in the second half before Yaya Toure | :04:18. | :04:20. | |
sent the Blue half of Manchester wild in the dying seconds. | :04:21. | :04:25. | |
But there was more bad news for Arsenal, who could only manage a | :04:26. | :04:28. | |
draw away to Swansea. A Mathieux Flamini own goal left the final | :04:29. | :04:31. | |
score 2-2. Arsene Wenger's side are fourth in the table, six points off | :04:32. | :04:38. | |
top spot. And Everton are hot on the Gunners' | :04:39. | :04:42. | |
heels after a slick 3-0 win away at Newcastle. England's Ross Barkley | :04:43. | :04:45. | |
ran from within his own half to score the first goal for the | :04:46. | :04:49. | |
Toffees, sending them fifth in the table. That's all from me, See you | :04:50. | :04:52. | |
in around 30, when we'll hear from one of England's best footballers of | :04:53. | :04:56. | |
the last decade, Mr Frank Lampard, on how he's trying to get kids | :04:57. | :04:58. | |
excited about reading. | :04:59. | :05:00. |
