Hi, I'm Leah with another Newsround update. Coming up, the frogs that

glow in the dark, and Jay Z and Beyonce rock the house at the

Grammys. Now to the peace talks that are trying to bring an end to

Syria's three-year civil war which has killed over 100,000 people. The

Syrian government has agreed to allow women and children to leave

the city of Homs, which has been gripped by heavy fighting for many

months. It will also allow aid trucks to enter the city. The talks

have been taking place in Switzerland, between Syrian

president Assad's government and those who want them out of power.

Today, people in the UK will remember the six million Jews and

other people killed by the German Nazi party during the Second World

War. Services are taking place all round the country as part of

National Holocaust Memorial Day. I've been looking at what it means.

It is never easy to think about what happened during World War II.

Germany's leader, Adolf Hitler, thought Jews and other people from

certain religions and groups were inferior and planned horrific ways

to get rid of them. In what became known as the Holocaust, he had

millions of people sent to special prisons called concentration camps.

Families were split up, there was little food, extremely hard physical

work and many people were killed there. It is estimated barely seven

out of ten Jews from all across Europe died. Today is a mark of

respect for all victims of the Holocaust, as well as victims of

other mass killings around the world. It helps teach us about these

terrible events and make sure they are not forgotten. But thousands of

children did manage to escape Hitler's Nazi Germany and were sent

to the UK for safety. They said goodbye to their families and were

put on special trains, known as Kindertransport. And now two

survivors of the Holocaust have come to this school in South Lanarkshire

to tell their story. We were put on the train about our parents. We came

to this country as refugees. Henry and Ingrid were two of the children

lucky enough to escape. Do send your child on a train to a foreign

country, there is no idea if the child will get there. It's a

traumatic and courageous decision to take, but many of us survived. We

were the lucky ones. Unfortunately, I lost quite a lot of relations in

the camps. When Henry and Ingrid were children they had to leave

everything they knew behind because life in Germany for them was too

dangerous. They arrived in the UK and settled into life here. Over 70

years later, they feel their story is an important one for children to

hear about. It was really eye opening. Quite emotional, when you

saw how important this was to them and how they thought it was

important to spread the message. It was really interesting to see what

really happened. Not what the historians say or anything from

books. It was real life and real people. Henry and Ingrid think it is

important for people to learn about the past to help stop terrible

things like the Holocaust happening again. Back in the UK, and there's

been more heavy rain in parts of South West England already badly hit

by flooding. Somerset has been badly affected, the council there has

declare a major incident There are 14 flood warnings in place across

England and Wales and snow is also expected in part of the UK today.

Music superstars from around the globe were hoping to grab a Grammy

last night. Beyonce and Jay Z open the awards, where Daft Punk were the

big winners. Lorde picked up the winner for single of the year. In

the FA Cup, Chelsea beat Stoke 1-0 to win a tie away to Man City in the

next round. The only goal of the game came from Brazilian midfielder

Oscar with an incredible free-kick in the first half, to put Jose

Mourinho's side into the last 16 - it was also Jose's birthday! Now to

the frogs that glow! Take a look at these amazing pictures.

Conservationists at Chester Zoo have come up with a way to keep an eye on

critically endangered frogs all by injecting them with harmless strips

of fluorescent silicon. It means conservationists can now track their

whereabouts. Head to the website for our top stories.
