:00:22. > :00:23.
:00:23. > :00:27.the future and it's been foaming up Down Under. This is Newsround.
:00:27. > :00:31.First though, how about this for super fast. This vision of the
:00:31. > :00:34.future is called high speed two and will be the fastest rail network in
:00:34. > :00:38.the country. It will provide 250 miles per hour trains from London
:00:38. > :00:42.to Birmingham. Today, the Government announced the high-speed
:00:42. > :00:47.network will stretch to cities like Manchester and Leeds. Supporters of
:00:47. > :00:50.the HS2 say it is needed to make the country better connected.
:00:50. > :00:57.Critics say it is too expensive and will destroy parts of the
:00:57. > :01:00.countryside. I'm here to see what people think
:01:00. > :01:04.of the 250 miles per hour trains which could be coming to a town
:01:04. > :01:08.near you. If I could get there quicker and I could pay a
:01:08. > :01:15.reasonable price. I think the money would be better spent improving the
:01:15. > :01:22.stock, the lines we've got. It's only two hours from London to
:01:22. > :01:26.Manchester now. We'll have a full report at 6.50pm. Now a big prize
:01:26. > :01:30.up for grabs - the right to become a British citizen. The Home Office
:01:30. > :01:35.has changed its test for people from abroad who want to become
:01:35. > :01:39.British. The new 45-minute exam covers UK Sport, music and history.
:01:39. > :01:43.The aim is to make sure people who come to live in the UK understand
:01:43. > :01:47.more about British culture. Now, Joe is here on the sofa with us.
:01:47. > :01:52.What is the idea behind the changes? Like you say, the
:01:52. > :01:55.Government felt the last test focused too much on the day-to-day
:01:55. > :01:58.things like using the Internet or public transport. They wanted this
:01:58. > :02:05.one to be more about British history or culture. A couple of
:02:05. > :02:13.questions from the test. Who is the patron saint of Scotland? St Andrew.
:02:13. > :02:20.You know it! At her jubilee in 2012, how many years did the Queen
:02:20. > :02:25.celebrate? 60 years. The Government hope when people come to live here
:02:25. > :02:28.there'll be more clued up on things. They want a British passport and
:02:28. > :02:32.the freedoms which come with that but the Government hope for them to
:02:32. > :02:37.fit more into the way of life. Critics say the test is difficult
:02:37. > :02:41.and don't think it will change anything. Joe, thank you for coming
:02:42. > :02:47.in. Moving on to an amazing foamy flood in Australia. Bad weather
:02:47. > :02:50.caused the foam to be whipped up, spilling over the beach and
:02:50. > :02:57.completely covering the town of Mooloolaba in Queensland. Streets
:02:57. > :03:02.were closed off. It did not stop some people from enjoying the
:03:02. > :03:09.frothy bath! With their big sharp claws crustaceans are not the most
:03:09. > :03:12.cuddly of creatures. Until recently it was thought they didn't have
:03:12. > :03:18.feelings all, with chefs cooking them alive. Now we are told we
:03:18. > :03:23.should treat them differently. Crustaceans are the only animals we
:03:23. > :03:28.regularly cook alive. It is now asleep. Gourmet chefs can serve
:03:28. > :03:32.more than 100 lobsters a day, all cooked the traditional way. It has
:03:32. > :03:36.come straight out of the freezer and will go straight into the
:03:36. > :03:41.boiling water. The best way is to cook them live, as fresh as you can.
:03:41. > :03:44.People want fresh food. It is also a hygiene risk. Crustaceans can not
:03:44. > :03:47.show their pain in a way we recognise, so it is difficult to
:03:47. > :03:51.say for certain whether or not they can feel anything. Because of this
:03:51. > :03:56.they are not protected by the Animal Welfare Act. Now scientists
:03:56. > :04:02.say they have gathered the best evidence yet to suggest they can
:04:02. > :04:07.feel pain. We use shore crabs and they like to hide in dark places.
:04:07. > :04:12.Some of the crabs got a small electric shock and what we showed
:04:12. > :04:17.was they quickly learned to avoid a place where they would get shocked.
:04:17. > :04:22.How certain are you now that crabs, lobsters, shrimps and other
:04:22. > :04:27.crustaceans feel pain? What I can say is the data cannot be explained
:04:27. > :04:33.purely by reflex and the more we show this, the more likely it is
:04:33. > :04:40.that these animals experience pain. The RSPCA say lobsters and other
:04:40. > :04:44.crustaceans should be stored comfortably and killed humanely by
:04:44. > :04:52.electric shock. A spokesman say the subject is contro ser shall and
