Hi, I'm welcome to your Newsround update. Coming up:

We find out how American football players do at the British quiz. And

as the first female cosmonaut from Russia arrives at the International

Space Station you tell dream job. Britain has sent RAF jets to fight

against Islamist extremist group IS America has already launched air

strikes on the militant group Yesterday

the British government decided to help the international efforts to

stop IS gaining more ground. The RAF tornado crews are waiting

for their orders to fly on The Muslim extremist group has taken

over large parts of Iraq and Syria and wants to create a new country

with really strict religious rules. The eyes to the right, 524. The nose

to the left, 43. Yesterday the government voted

overwhelmingly in favour of action against IS but a few Mps expressed

concern where the strikes may lead. The RAF will join teams

from other countries. Jets from Saudi Arabia

and the United Arab Emirates have France, Belgium and Denmark

are also sending planes. But it's unlikely to be a quick

campaign, David Cameron said Britain This is going to be a mission that

will take not just months, but years. But I believe we must be

prepared for that commitment. British involvement

in the fight against IS will be limited though, there will be no

soldiers sent to fight on the ground and only six RAF planes will be sent

to attack the group in Iraq. At the moment there are no

plans to fight IS in Syria. Some people are worried

that air strikes will not As the UK joins this conflict

in Iraq there are worries And to find out more about IS

and the situation in Iraq and Syria go to the Newsround website,

and if you are upset by anything Sport and right now thousands

of Liverpool and Everton fans are cheering on their teams because

the Merseyside Derby is underway. If you don?t want to know the

score you better leave the room. OK you can come back

in the room now. There's more derby action later this

afternoon when Arsenal take on neighbours Tottenham,

that game kicks off at 5:30, we'll bring you the result

from that tomorrow. To a different type of football now

I'm talking NFL because American football is back at Wembley

on Sunday when the Oakland Raiders But how much do the stateside

stars no about Great Britain. Is it George? 141! I have no idea. I

don't know. Do you know? You don't know either? Man City? I believe it

is Man City. Manchester? Don't know! Come on, man. Manchester. I

can't name any of one direction. One direction? I don't know. None. We

Mac I have a 14-year-old daughter. There is Harry, Nile, I think that

will be yet. Is that two out of four? Two out of five? Sorry, Ali.

Got me. King Henry? The Queen? Stupid Americans, right? You knows

one direction but does not know who sits on the statue of Trafalgar

Square. Don't know. No idea. I'm sorry. I have been gone a long time,

I'm sorry. Finally to San Diego in America

where a local zoo has a new arrival, The animal has a rare condition that

causes it to have a lighter colour coat of fur but the people who work

at the zoo say it hasn't stopped the coolest jobs ever. This is

cosmonaut Elena Servova and she's become the first Russian woman to go

to the International Space Station. It took the team six hours to get to

the ISS, 226 miles above the earth. They'll all stay on board for 6

months. Elena trained for seven Well all day you've been telling

us what your dream job would be. Joshua says "I would

like to be a rugby player and play Sarah says she would

like to a doctor And Freya says "My dream job is to be
