0:00:09 > 0:00:12Hello, Ricky here with your Monday morning Newsround.
0:00:12 > 0:00:14First, we're talking about some extraordinary scenes
0:00:14 > 0:00:16at the Oscars in America.
0:00:16 > 0:00:23The award for Best Picture was given to the WRONG film.
0:00:23 > 0:00:26The winner was announced as La La Land, and the team
0:00:26 > 0:00:29even came up to give their speeches until...
0:00:29 > 0:00:31There's a mistake.
0:00:31 > 0:00:32Moonlight, you guys won Best Picture.
0:00:32 > 0:00:38Moonlight won.
0:00:38 > 0:00:40It was discovered that another film, Moonlight, was the right winner.
0:00:40 > 0:00:43It turned out that the stars giving out the award had been
0:00:43 > 0:00:45given the wrong envelope.
0:00:45 > 0:00:46Oh dear!
0:00:46 > 0:00:49Next to the story of a boy who, like thousands of children
0:00:49 > 0:00:51from Syria, has travelled to a new country in
0:00:51 > 0:00:52Europe to escape war.
0:00:52 > 0:00:55Jenny went to Sweden to catch up with him to see
0:00:55 > 0:00:58what life is like now.
0:00:58 > 0:00:59Meet Kava.
0:00:59 > 0:01:01He's ten years old and likes football, music and bowling.
0:01:01 > 0:01:06And, like millions of kids across Sweden, he's off to school.
0:01:06 > 0:01:11But 18 months ago Kava's life was very different.
0:01:11 > 0:01:14Kava and his family were forced to leave their home in Syria
0:01:14 > 0:01:19because of a war that's been going on there since 2011.
0:01:19 > 0:01:22Thousands of people have died and around 4 million people
0:01:22 > 0:01:25like Kava have had to leave the country to get away
0:01:25 > 0:01:27from the fighting.
0:01:27 > 0:01:31Many people have made long journeys to countries in Europe,
0:01:31 > 0:01:35because they think they will be able to have a better life there.
0:01:35 > 0:01:39TRANSLATION: We left when it was evening,
0:01:39 > 0:01:41and we were very scared on the road.
0:01:41 > 0:01:47It was completely dark.
0:01:47 > 0:01:51Kava and his family travelled from Syria to Turkey,
0:01:51 > 0:01:54and then got on a boat to make a dangerous journey across the sea
0:01:54 > 0:01:59to a Greek island called Lesbos.
0:01:59 > 0:02:01TRANSLATION: We eventually took a small boat and crossed
0:02:01 > 0:02:09the sea to Europe, and we were very terrified.
0:02:09 > 0:02:11Newsround first met Kava in 2015, shortly after he had
0:02:11 > 0:02:14arrived on Lesbos.
0:02:14 > 0:02:16TRANSLATION: I want to see my brother, who is in Sweden.
0:02:16 > 0:02:22He's already there and I want to join him, I miss him.
0:02:22 > 0:02:24And he got his wish.
0:02:24 > 0:02:26After getting a ferry to mainland Greece, Kava's family
0:02:26 > 0:02:31travelled overland by bus all the way to Sweden.
0:02:31 > 0:02:34Kava and his family have been living in this very snowy town
0:02:34 > 0:02:37for more than a year now, and Kava has even started
0:02:37 > 0:02:40going to his local school, so I've come to find out
0:02:40 > 0:02:43what his life is like now.
0:02:43 > 0:02:46TRANSLATION: I like the school, the school is good.
0:02:46 > 0:02:50There's no violence here, it is good here.
0:02:50 > 0:02:53I like Sweden.
0:02:53 > 0:02:56I like mathematics and doing my lessons.
0:02:56 > 0:03:00And writing on a computer, laptop or an iPad.
0:03:00 > 0:03:04I want to write.
0:03:04 > 0:03:07Learning Swedish was difficult at first, but later it
0:03:07 > 0:03:12became easier, very easy.
0:03:12 > 0:03:17I have friends, and they are very kind, they are good.
0:03:17 > 0:03:27My friends and I chase each other, run around,
0:03:27 > 0:03:28and we play in the snow.
0:03:28 > 0:03:31Is there anything you miss about life with your friends in Syria?
0:03:31 > 0:03:33My friends are not in Syria any more, they went
0:03:33 > 0:03:36to Lebanon, Iraq, and Turkey.
0:03:36 > 0:03:38They are not in Syria.
0:03:38 > 0:03:44I would like to meet them again.
0:03:44 > 0:03:48Although Kava is happy to be settled with his family here in Sweden,
0:03:48 > 0:03:51I want to find out how he feels about having to leave
0:03:51 > 0:03:55his home in Syria.
0:03:55 > 0:04:01TRANSLATION: In our old home, we used to play.
0:04:01 > 0:04:04We had a laptop, we had a large house with a large garden
0:04:04 > 0:04:07where we used to play.
0:04:07 > 0:04:11But I don't remember much else.
0:04:11 > 0:04:14TRANSLATION: When the war broke out, everyone went
0:04:14 > 0:04:16in different directions.
0:04:16 > 0:04:20Some left their mothers, others their fathers or their brothers.
0:04:20 > 0:04:21Not many people stayed together.
0:04:21 > 0:04:26TRANSLATION: We stuck together and held each other closely so none
0:04:26 > 0:04:28of us would be left behind.
0:04:28 > 0:04:32That's why we remained holding each other so strongly.
0:04:32 > 0:04:34What are your hopes for the future?
0:04:34 > 0:04:37TRANSLATION: Now I am with my brother, sister
0:04:37 > 0:04:39and parents here together.
0:04:39 > 0:04:41We are very happy, it is nice here.
0:04:41 > 0:04:44I wish to continue going to school and study,
0:04:44 > 0:04:49and become something one day.
0:04:49 > 0:04:52For more about what's happening in Syria, go online
0:04:52 > 0:04:55for Newsround's guide.
0:04:55 > 0:05:00That's all from me, Newsround's back in half-an-hour.
