Hi guys. Leah here with a world famous baby and news of how Louis

:00:00.:00:09.

from One D's footy debut drew record crowds on the way. I came from

:00:10.:00:16.

Glasgow this morning. It was three trains and a bus. I want to meet

:00:17.:00:22.

Louis Tomlinson really really bad. But first this morning there's been

:00:23.:00:25.

calls for tighter controls on buying added extras for online games by a

:00:26.:00:28.

mum who's son racked up a ?4,000 bill playing FIFA 14. The

:00:29.:00:34.

13-year-old says he didn't realise how much he'd spent after buying

:00:35.:00:38.

several player packs with his mum's credit card, which was registered to

:00:39.:00:42.

the game. Mum Sue says it shouldn't be that easy. EA Sports who make

:00:43.:00:46.

FIFA 14, were contacted but declined to comment. Next, you might not know

:00:47.:00:52.

it but bananas are big business. They're Britain's favourite fruit,

:00:53.:00:54.

and we go through around five billion each year. But while you can

:00:55.:00:59.

pick one up at your local supermarket for under a pound, the

:01:00.:01:02.

farmers who grow them now say it's getting harder to sell them for the

:01:03.:01:06.

current low prices. Here's Nel with more. Most people don't think about

:01:07.:01:09.

what it takes to get their favourite foods like the humble banana from

:01:10.:01:13.

the farm to the shop and into their lunch bags. A third of them are

:01:14.:01:17.

produced by Fair Trade farmers who are supposed to get a fair price for

:01:18.:01:21.

growing them in developing countries like Colombia, Ecuador and Ghana.

:01:22.:01:24.

So, bananas like these travel thousands of miles before they end

:01:25.:01:27.

up in supermarkets in the UK and they want to keep the prices as low

:01:28.:01:31.

as possible to keep their customers happy, but the Fair Trade Foundation

:01:32.:01:34.

say that this is causing money problems for the farms that grow

:01:35.:01:40.

them. A single banana from somewhere like South America can cost as

:01:41.:01:43.

little as 11p and that's compared to an apple from the UK that costs

:01:44.:01:47.

around 20p. So all the time, living costs for farmers is going up and up

:01:48.:01:52.

and up. The price bananas are being sold at is getting less and less.

:01:53.:01:56.

The British Retail Consortium are the people who represent

:01:57.:01:59.

supermarkets and they told Newsround that producers and customers are

:02:00.:02:04.

getting a good price. They say the price for bananas is agreed with the

:02:05.:02:08.

producers. Juliet is a farmer from Ghana in Africa. She's been trading

:02:09.:02:13.

with the UK for 14 years. What's it like to be a banana farmer? It's

:02:14.:02:19.

very tough. It takes a lot of time to get it right. You have to work in

:02:20.:02:24.

the sun and get up very early in the morning just to make things go well

:02:25.:02:28.

on the farm. What kind of changes do you want to see in the price of

:02:29.:02:33.

bananas? There's a lot of things in our community we need to change. We

:02:34.:02:37.

have to be paid well. We have to take care of our kids. We have to

:02:38.:02:41.

improve living conditions and the environment and therefore, the price

:02:42.:02:44.

should be improved. The Fair Trade Foundation says it will continue to

:02:45.:02:48.

work with the government, big business and the farmers who grow

:02:49.:02:51.

our bananas to make sure everyone gets a good deal. Footy news and

:02:52.:02:56.

Chelsea became the first English team not to lose the first leg of a

:02:57.:03:00.

Champions League last 16 game this season last night. Fernando Torres

:03:01.:03:04.

helping them to a 1-1 draw with Turkish side Galatasaray. But that

:03:05.:03:09.

wasn't the big footy game of the night. Oh no, this was. Louis from

:03:10.:03:13.

One Direction's long-awaited debut for Doncaster Rovers reserves.

:03:14.:03:19.

There's no denying Directioners are a dedicated bunch. Some queued for

:03:20.:03:24.

11 hours to catch a glimpse of Louis heading out on the pitch for

:03:25.:03:27.

Doncaster Rovers. I came from Glasgow this morning. It was three

:03:28.:03:32.

trains and a bus and I got here just now. I want to meet Louis Tomlinson

:03:33.:03:36.

really bad. Like, really, really bad. I've been trying for three

:03:37.:03:40.

years and it has never happened. While fans know him more for being

:03:41.:03:44.

part of one of the most successful bands of all time, yesterday the

:03:45.:03:48.

BRIT Award winner was a living out a life long dream. Heading out on

:03:49.:03:52.

pitch for Doncaster Rovers. Louis played for 25 minutes, and although

:03:53.:03:56.

the match finished 0-0, Louis was still delighted. I mean, it's

:03:57.:04:01.

absolutely amazing. I was just thinking, those boys get to do that

:04:02.:04:05.

every week and it really is such an honour to be involved in a club that

:04:06.:04:09.

I spent most of my childhood going down to the games. Just putting the

:04:10.:04:13.

shirt on is just boyhood dreams. A reserves match like this usually

:04:14.:04:16.

pulls in just 100 people but last night 5,400 people turned up. And

:04:17.:04:21.

with tickets costing around ?7.00, all the money went to a children's

:04:22.:04:27.

hospice. Amazing story and we want to know which celeb you'd want in

:04:28.:04:31.

your footy team and why over on the Newsround website now. Finally, some

:04:32.:04:35.

of you might dream of one day being famous but a baby in America's hit

:04:36.:04:39.

the headlines within a few hours of being born. Polly here, who's

:04:40.:04:42.

British, realised her baby was on the way but couldn't flag down a cab

:04:43.:04:46.

in time. She had to give birth on the kerb during rush hour but lots

:04:47.:04:50.

of people were on hand to help. It's big news in America and both mother

:04:51.:04:54.

and daughter are doing well in hospital. That's it for now, but

:04:55.:04:58.

we'll be right back here in half an hour.
