0:00:16 > 0:00:20Good afternoon, everybody. You are tuned into Newsround live with Ore
0:00:20 > 0:00:23and his really creased shirt and Leah. Can't believe he admitted
0:00:23 > 0:00:27that. We've got everything you need to know to kick off the week. Here
0:00:27 > 0:00:32is what is on its way. Tom Daley makes a splash at Madame Tussauds.
0:00:32 > 0:00:35And we've got all the big winners from the biggest night in film, the
0:00:35 > 0:00:39Oscars. But first to a mysterious virus
0:00:39 > 0:00:44which is proving a big threat to millions of lambs due to be born
0:00:44 > 0:00:49this spring. The virus has spread from mainland Europe and is almost
0:00:49 > 0:00:55completely unknown here in the UK. It's left scientists baffled and
0:00:55 > 0:01:00farmers worried about their animals. Lambing season, around 16 million
0:01:00 > 0:01:04lambs will be born in the UK over the next few months, the biggiest
0:01:04 > 0:01:07period in the farming year. Farmers are worried about a new deadly
0:01:07 > 0:01:10disease that could affect thousands of pregnant sheep. It's down to the
0:01:10 > 0:01:14Schmallenberg virus named after the town in Germany where it was first
0:01:14 > 0:01:18found. At the moment, it mainly affects sheep and causes lambs to
0:01:18 > 0:01:21be born with deformities or in worst cases even born dead. None of
0:01:21 > 0:01:25these sheep here have been infected but their virus has spread across
0:01:25 > 0:01:30other parts of the UK with devastating effect. We've lost
0:01:30 > 0:01:35between ten and 12%, which is about 30 or 40 lambs. These are the lambs
0:01:35 > 0:01:40that have done well but so many have died or been born dead or
0:01:40 > 0:01:46we've had to put them down. I find the whole thing most distressing.
0:01:47 > 0:01:50This lamb was born with a very strange jaw. It appears to be
0:01:50 > 0:01:53parrot-mouthed where the bite doesn't come together. The virus is
0:01:53 > 0:01:57thought to have been brought to Britain by midges and mosquitoes
0:01:57 > 0:02:01and is spreading quickly. It's been found on over 70 farms, mainly in
0:02:02 > 0:02:05the east and south-east of England. It's now moving north and west.
0:02:05 > 0:02:10Cows and goats can be affected too but it isn't thought to be of any
0:02:10 > 0:02:14risk to humans. But the big problem is, farmers don't have any way to
0:02:14 > 0:02:19stop it spreading. They're calling on scientists to develop a vaccine
0:02:19 > 0:02:23but that could take up to two years to be ready. Next we are talking
0:02:23 > 0:02:26about this, the Koran, it's Islam's holy book which is at the centre of
0:02:27 > 0:02:30a huge row. Last week, it was reported that in Afghanistan,
0:02:30 > 0:02:34copies of it had been found burnt on an American military base.
0:02:34 > 0:02:41news caused anger and sparked a wave of violence across the country
0:02:41 > 0:02:45that killed 30 people. Anastasakis American airbase in Afghanistan
0:02:45 > 0:02:49last week, copies of the Koran were burnt by soldiers. The American
0:02:49 > 0:02:53forces there say it was an accident and have offered an apology.
0:02:53 > 0:02:57But it's made many people in the country very angry and a growing
0:02:57 > 0:03:02number of people have died in the protests.
0:03:02 > 0:03:06Holy books are always treated with respect by members of their
0:03:06 > 0:03:12different religions, Christians have the Bible and Muslims have the
0:03:12 > 0:03:17Koran. We believe that it is the literal word of God. It teaches
0:03:17 > 0:03:20Muslims how to be Muslims .. Before we touch it, we make sure to clean
0:03:20 > 0:03:28ourselves and even putting it on the floor or putting it near your
0:03:28 > 0:03:35feet, you know, it's wrong, you can't do it. To physically burn it
0:03:35 > 0:03:37is like the worst thing that you can imagine, basically.
0:03:37 > 0:03:40Afghanistan's President, Hamid Karzai, has appealed for the
0:03:41 > 0:03:44violence to end. But the burning of the Koran has added to the worries
0:03:44 > 0:03:53of the Afghan people. There have been troops in Afghanistan from
0:03:53 > 0:03:58other countries, including Britain and America, for the last 11 years.
0:03:58 > 0:04:03People are anxious about the future. The biggest movie stars were out in
0:04:03 > 0:04:08force for the Oscars. The Artist stole the headlines picking up five
0:04:08 > 0:04:13awards. The movie stars Uggie the Dog, but no Oscars for animals
0:04:13 > 0:04:17which is a shame. The director who won an award thanked Uggie in a
0:04:17 > 0:04:19speech. Hugo won five awards and Oscar for best original song went
0:04:19 > 0:04:24to Kermit and friends for the Muppets.
0:04:24 > 0:04:31You may remember at last year's Oscars, it was The King's Speech
0:04:31 > 0:04:36that picked up all the awards. The British film about King George VI
0:04:36 > 0:04:41and his struggle with a stammer. A million kids in the UK have
0:04:41 > 0:04:44problems with stammers, stuters or making themselves understood.
0:04:44 > 0:04:47can be frustrated. There is a school that's trying to help.
0:04:47 > 0:04:54in ten children in the UK have problems communicating, that means
0:04:55 > 0:04:57they find it hard to speak in full sentences or understand
0:04:57 > 0:05:01instructions properly. Daily life can be frustrating as children
0:05:01 > 0:05:05struggle to fit in at school or elsewhere. I had a speech
0:05:05 > 0:05:08communication problem until I was 11. I had a stammer which meant I
0:05:08 > 0:05:12rerepeated the same word over and over and I couldn't stop. Luckily,
0:05:12 > 0:05:16I got help. But for many kids, they find it hard to battle through
0:05:16 > 0:05:23school not being able to speak up and often falling behind.
0:05:23 > 0:05:27That's why the charity ICAN have set up this school in noting ham.
0:05:27 > 0:05:31- Nottingham. Rather than just have a teacher in the classroom, we also
0:05:31 > 0:05:35have a team of therapists and it's their role to really think very
0:05:35 > 0:05:40carefully about how children speak and how we can help our students
0:05:40 > 0:05:46develop their skills in those areas. Why do you think it's important we
0:05:46 > 0:05:50know a bit more about the Olympics? Ross? Because they're coming to
0:05:50 > 0:05:59London in 2012... Often in class you are told not to speak out, but
0:05:59 > 0:06:05here it's the only sit. The kids are taught to chat as much as
0:06:05 > 0:06:09possible -- here it's the opposite. Fee by, why do you come to this
0:06:09 > 0:06:12school? I used to speak quickly and didn't understand stuff. Now I
0:06:13 > 0:06:17speak slowly so people can understand me and I can make
0:06:17 > 0:06:23friends and talk to them. Lots of different things make my
0:06:23 > 0:06:29life better. I have better friends here, there's no bullies here to
0:06:29 > 0:06:33make fun of me for no reason and it's just really good here. Phoebe
0:06:33 > 0:06:37and Ross with two of one million kids struggling to communicate in
0:06:37 > 0:06:41the UK, so there's still lots to be done. As some of the kids told me,
0:06:41 > 0:06:43the more they get talking, the more they can help other kids along the
0:06:43 > 0:06:48way. Thank you very much, Hayley. The
0:06:48 > 0:06:51biggest event of his life is five months away, but British diver Tom
0:06:51 > 0:06:56Daley's already achieved what mere mortals like us can only dream of.
0:06:56 > 0:07:03He's been turned into a wax work at Madame Tussauds in London. It took
0:07:03 > 0:07:09four months to make and Tom was invited from the start, fitting in
