Hi I'm Leah and here's what's coming up on Newsround in the next

:00:06.:00:08.

five minutes. A ban on the controversial chucking

:00:08.:00:13.

of unwanted fish. And, could the Titanic set sail

:00:13.:00:20.

again? But first, all this week on

:00:20.:00:23.

Newsround we've been looking at the legacy of the London 2012

:00:23.:00:27.

Paralympic Games. Today a new report from the charity, Whizz Kids,

:00:27.:00:32.

has outlined some of things they still think need to change. They

:00:32.:00:35.

say two thirds of young disabled people were inspired by the

:00:35.:00:37.

Paralympics, but find there isn't always the opportunity to get

:00:38.:00:43.

involved in sport, especially at school. Disabled kids told the

:00:43.:00:45.

charity they want to see better access to public transport across

:00:46.:00:51.

the country, like more ramps to help get off and on trains. And

:00:51.:00:54.

they want more disabled role models, not just in sport but in media,

:00:54.:00:58.

fashion and advertising. Channel 4 Paralympics reporter, Martin Dougan,

:00:58.:01:03.

has been following this story for us. Today he's with a group taking

:01:03.:01:06.

their suggestions on what they want changed all the way to the top. Hi

:01:06.:01:16.

Martin, where are you? Hi Leah, I'm outside Downing Street, home of the

:01:16.:01:23.

Prime Minister, David Cameron. This afternoon he got a special delivery

:01:23.:01:29.

by double Paralympic medallist Hannah Cockcroft, who was dropping

:01:29.:01:32.

off a report on what they think needs to change to make sure we

:01:32.:01:37.

don't waste all the opportunities generated by the London 2012

:01:37.:01:41.

Paralympic Games. Joel, can I tell us what your experiences were when

:01:41.:01:45.

you were doing sport in school? Compared to what I do outside of

:01:45.:01:50.

school, being inside school could be quite excluding and negative for

:01:50.:01:55.

me. I would either be excluded from the lesson or I would be doing

:01:55.:01:59.

something spirit from the kids. Charlotte, you were talking to MPs

:01:59.:02:05.

along with Hannah today. What did you ask them? Talking about the

:02:05.:02:15.
:02:15.:02:16.

transport system, making it easier for people to use public transport

:02:16.:02:23.

and making wheelchairs lighter. We are confident that the Paralympic

:02:23.:02:27.

legacy will live on so it will be better for disabled people in

:02:28.:02:32.

future. Leeia, I had a meeting of my own with the Sports Minister

:02:32.:02:38.

today. You can catch that report here on CBBC at 6.50pm.

:02:38.:02:41.

Thank you Martin. Pope Benedict has spoken to tens of

:02:41.:02:46.

thousands of people in St Peter's Square in Rome. It was his last

:02:46.:02:49.

public appearance before he retires as the head of the Catholic Church

:02:49.:02:51.

tomorrow. He travelled through the crowds in his "Pope-mobile"

:02:51.:02:53.

greeting wellwishers before giving his final speech. He's the first

:02:53.:03:00.

Pope to step down from the role for almost 600 years.

:03:00.:03:02.

The controversial dumping of unwanted fish back into the sea is

:03:02.:03:07.

something we've told you about on Newsround before. But in the early

:03:07.:03:10.

hours of this morning, Ministers from the European Union gave their

:03:10.:03:13.

backing to a plan to ban fishermen from chucking away the fish they

:03:13.:03:23.
:03:23.:03:24.

catch but don't want. Nel has more. Fish caught from the sea and then

:03:24.:03:28.

dumped straight back into it. It's a way of fishing the British

:03:28.:03:32.

Government has scald scandalous but it is how many fishermen in Europe

:03:32.:03:37.

have been doing things for years. Fish are thrown back to sea because

:03:38.:03:41.

fishermen don't want to land them. Perhaps they don't have much value,

:03:41.:03:45.

or they might be too small to land, they are not allowed to land them,

:03:45.:03:49.

so they are thrown away. Often those fish are dead when they are

:03:49.:03:52.

thrown away, so it is a real waste of fish. Ministers from the

:03:52.:03:56.

European Union say they want to change the law, with a ban on

:03:56.:04:04.

dumping unwanted fish being phased in, starting from January. Lit need

:04:04.:04:11.

new nets to ensure fishermen only catch the fish they need, and

:04:11.:04:18.

cameras on board. It is a victory for this celebrity chef. He said a

:04:18.:04:22.

lot more work will need to be done to make sure the ban is enforced.

:04:22.:04:26.

An exact copy of the doomed ship Titanic will set sail in three

:04:26.:04:28.

years. That's the plan of Australian billionaire Clive Palmer,

:04:28.:04:31.

who says Titanic II will look and feel like the original ship, which

:04:31.:04:34.

famously struck an iceberg and sank 100 years ago. When it's built, the

:04:34.:04:38.

ship will set sail across the Atlantic as a tribute to those who

:04:38.:04:45.
