:00:04. > :00:06.Afternoon all, Joe here with all the big stuff you've missed while you've
:00:06. > :00:13.been at school. Including, could this be the first
:00:13. > :00:20.talking robot in space? And, a sneak peak of the the new One
:00:20. > :00:23.Direction film. This is Newsround.
:00:23. > :00:29.First, to the international row over hunting one of nature's most
:00:29. > :00:32.magnificent mammals. Australia says Japan's broken strict
:00:32. > :00:35.rules by killing more than 10,000 whales in less than 30 years.
:00:35. > :00:39.Japan says its done nothing wrong and today a big court case begins to
:00:39. > :00:45.decide who's right. Here's Leah. For centuries what else
:00:45. > :00:50.were hunted, their meat a huge Del Kasse in countries like Japan. In
:00:50. > :00:54.1986, that was all supposed to stop. Commercial whaling was officially
:00:54. > :00:58.banned around the world. It is still allowed for scientific research
:00:58. > :01:02.though. Something Australia say Japan's using as an excuse to keep
:01:02. > :01:07.the supply of whale meat coming. They are asking the International
:01:07. > :01:11.Court of Justice to stop them. want commercial whaling to stop.
:01:11. > :01:15.That includes the so-called scientific whaling programme that
:01:15. > :01:19.Japan has been carrying on for many years. Australia's particularly
:01:19. > :01:24.bothered because Japan's whaling fleet leaves every November or
:01:24. > :01:31.December for the southern ocean, right between themmed and
:01:31. > :01:34.Antarctica. The The aim?
:01:35. > :01:37.To pluck around a 1,000 minke or fin whales from the waters.
:01:38. > :01:39.Anti-whaling campaigners have tried all kinds of tactics to get Japan to
:01:39. > :01:41.stop. Japan claim the research is needed
:01:42. > :01:43.to provide information on whale populations, something they hope
:01:43. > :01:47.could help them get the commercial ban re-examined.
:01:47. > :01:50.Who's right and who's wrong? Wel,l from today the court in the
:01:50. > :01:54.Netherlands will decide. Japan hope to prove what they're
:01:54. > :01:57.doing is legal and all in the name of science.
:01:57. > :02:06.If the court disagrees, it could force them to seriously cut back on
:02:06. > :02:10.how many whales they hunt in the future.
:02:10. > :02:13.Next to a special sneak peak at One Direction's brand new 3D film.

:02:23. > :02:30.and you can see the teaser trailer, in full, on the Newsround website
:02:30. > :02:33.from 4.30pm today! Next, if I asked you which footy
:02:33. > :02:36.great had played more times for England than anyone else, you might
:02:36. > :02:41.go for Beckham, Gerrard or Cole, but you'd be wrong.
:02:41. > :02:43.As of a few hours ago, England's record cap holder is Rachel Yankey.
:02:43. > :02:46.She's just made her 126th appearance this afternoon against Japan.

:02:51. > :02:54.radar. Peter Shilton, David Beckham, Bobby
:02:54. > :02:58.Moore three Lions legends and part of a very rare group to have
:02:58. > :03:03.achieved more than 100 caps for England.
:03:03. > :03:05.But now one person's topped them all, Rachel Yankey.
:03:05. > :03:08.The 33-year-old Londoner, who plays for Arsenal as an attacking
:03:08. > :03:11.mid-fielder, Rachel made her England debut back in 1997 and she's since

:03:27. > :03:30.
:03:30. > :03:33.there. Rachel has already won countless
:03:33. > :03:36.honours and with the European Championships kicking off next month
:03:36. > :03:40.she'll be hoping to add an international trophy to her record
:03:40. > :03:50.breaking number of caps. At 33, to get 126 caps, an amazing
:03:50. > :04:00.
:04:00. > :04:03.achievement. Rachel might have outdone old Mr
:04:03. > :04:05.Beckham here, but he's still making headlines round the world.
:04:06. > :04:08.He recently retired from footy, but his wife Victoria's been telling

:04:47. > :04:50.Space Station in August where he'll talk to his robo-mate, Mirata back
:04:50. > :04:52.on earth. It's hoped robots like these can be
:04:52. > :04:55.used to help astronauts with their dance moves.
