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
