Hello. Leah and Ricky with you today. It is Friday, so we will | :00:30. | :00:37. | |
throw in some feel-good factor stories, too. Also coming up - Joe | :00:37. | :00:42. | |
has been finding out who decides what fills your old enough to see. | :00:42. | :00:46. | |
And we have pictures of the shortest man to make it into space. | :00:47. | :00:51. | |
But first, how much is too much, when it comes to the amount you get | :00:51. | :00:56. | |
paid? People are calling for the boss of one of the UK's biggest | :00:56. | :01:00. | |
banks to turn down a bonus of nearly �1 million. They think it is | :01:00. | :01:04. | |
unfair that the boss of the Royal Bank of Scotland should get so much, | :01:04. | :01:07. | |
when the bank had to be rescued by the Government, using taxpayers' | :01:07. | :01:12. | |
money. Hayley has been looking into this one. Stephen Hester is paid | :01:12. | :01:18. | |
more than �1 million a year to run the Royal Bank of Scotland, RBS. It | :01:18. | :01:22. | |
has been revealed he will pick up almost another �1 million as a | :01:22. | :01:27. | |
bonus this year as well. He is said to be paid more in three days than | :01:27. | :01:31. | |
a soldier serving in Afghanistan and gets in one year. So why do | :01:31. | :01:36. | |
people care what he is paid? A few years ago, Britain ran into many | :01:36. | :01:42. | |
troubles, when banks took big gambles and lost billions of pounds. | :01:42. | :01:45. | |
Lots of other businesses suffered because banks stopped lending them | :01:45. | :01:51. | |
money. The Government had to take over some banks, like RBS, and the | :01:51. | :01:55. | |
economy is still in trouble now. It is no surprise that there is lots | :01:55. | :01:58. | |
of interest in the money made by the boss of a bank which was | :01:58. | :02:02. | |
rescued by the Government, using our money. Some people say it is | :02:03. | :02:07. | |
unfair that Stephen Hester is paid so much, when nurses, teachers and | :02:07. | :02:10. | |
government workers are worse off. But big bank bosses have always | :02:11. | :02:15. | |
been paid lots of money. The problem is not a new one. So, | :02:15. | :02:18. | |
should he take the bonus? The Deputy Prime Minister reckons only | :02:18. | :02:24. | |
one person can decide that. Some bankers have decided not to take a | :02:24. | :02:28. | |
bonus this year, like the chief executive of Lloyds. It is up to | :02:28. | :02:33. | |
Stephen Hester, frankly. RBS say they have to pay big money to get | :02:33. | :02:37. | |
someone good in, and the bonus is for the progress he is making in | :02:37. | :02:42. | |
getting the bank back on track. Some banking experts say that that | :02:42. | :02:46. | |
makes sense, and it is worth �1 million to keep him doing his job | :02:46. | :02:51. | |
well. Tennis, and he is still known as the nearly man. Yes, Andy Murray | :02:51. | :02:56. | |
has missed out on another chance to win his first Grand Slam tournament, | :02:56. | :02:59. | |
after crashing out of the Australian Open in the semi-final. | :02:59. | :03:09. | |
He lost an epic match against Novak Djokovic. As the countdown to the | :03:09. | :03:13. | |
Olympic Games reaches six months, the theme of the Opening Ceremony | :03:13. | :03:20. | |
has been revealed. The event will be called the Isles of wonder, it | :03:20. | :03:24. | |
will have a strong Shakespearian theme throughout, and a giant Bell, | :03:24. | :03:28. | |
the largest in Europe, which will be hanging at one end of the | :03:28. | :03:33. | |
stadium. It is estimated the ceremony will cost around �27 | :03:33. | :03:39. | |
million. Next, we're going to the movies, because it is 100 years | :03:39. | :03:41. | |
since the British Board of Film Classification was set up. They're | :03:41. | :03:45. | |
the people who see the films before we do, and decide how old you have | :03:45. | :03:51. | |
to be to watch them, depending on what the film contains. Joe loves | :03:51. | :03:57. | |
his films, so we sent him to find more. One ticket to Sherlock, | :03:57. | :04:03. | |
please. I'm sorry, you're too young. If this has ever happened to you, | :04:03. | :04:07. | |
you will know how annoying it is. But have you ever wondered who | :04:07. | :04:12. | |
makes up the rules? They're called the British Board of Film | :04:12. | :04:17. | |
Classification. They're basically the guys who watch new movie is to | :04:17. | :04:20. | |
decide whether kids should be allowed to see them or not. The | :04:20. | :04:25. | |
BBFC was created by the industry 100 years ago, a long time before | :04:25. | :04:30. | |
Harry Potter or Toy story. It was set up as a guide to decide what | :04:30. | :04:34. | |
was suitable for adults, and what could be seen by everyone. Lucy is | :04:34. | :04:39. | |
one of their examiners. We're thinking of children around eight, | :04:39. | :04:45. | |
so there might be a bit more action and excitement. At 12, we are aware | :04:45. | :04:51. | |
that parents are more likely to be able to judge. They can decide | :04:51. | :04:56. | |
whether their child can go and see it. I talk to young people, and | :04:56. | :05:00. | |
they will tell me where they think we have overstepped, or under- | :05:00. | :05:04. | |
classified. Are there any recent examples which have been very | :05:04. | :05:13. | |
difficult? Sherlock Holmes, things like that, involve some negotiation. | :05:13. | :05:19. | |
A four-year-old response very difficult plea to an eight-year-old. | :05:19. | :05:25. | |
-- very differently. You have seen tons of films - have there been any | :05:25. | :05:30. | |
that you wanted to see that you could not? The latest Harry Potters, | :05:30. | :05:35. | |
both of them, they are both 12s. I would have loved to have seen them | :05:35. | :05:41. | |
on the big screen, but I couldn't. Is it important that people | :05:41. | :05:46. | |
classify films like this? Yes, for parents, especially, you can see if | :05:46. | :05:54. | |
it is appropriate for your child. So, for 100 years, the BBFC has | :05:54. | :06:00. | |
made some pretty big, big screen decisions. Sometimes you might have | :06:00. | :06:03. | |
to wait until your order to see the latest blockbuster, but it might | :06:03. | :06:09. | |
just be worth that wait. And on the website, we have been asking what | :06:09. | :06:19. | |
:06:19. | :06:45. | ||
you make of the classification You can still have your shape -- | :06:45. | :06:49. | |
have your say, on the website, after the show. Take a look at | :06:49. | :06:53. | |
these dramatic pictures of a spaceman falling to work. Have no | :06:53. | :06:58. | |
fear, no humans were held. This astronaut was in fact only made of | :06:58. | :07:03. | |
Lego. Yes, he was sent into orbit by two Canadian teenagers on a | :07:03. | :07:10. | |
rocket that cost just �254 to make. It reached at 80,000ft before | :07:10. | :07:14. | |
safely falling back down again. have always wanted to do that, it | :07:14. | :07:21. | |
looks like a lot of fun. Don't forget, Match Of The Day Kickabout | :07:21. | :07:26. |
