:00:00. > :00:00.Hello, Leah here with Newsround, live!
:00:00. > :00:17.The boys? world tour touches down in the UK tonight.
:00:18. > :00:22.First up, something we don't usually expect you to dig - gardening!
:00:23. > :00:26.But a recent report found that only one in five kids were connected to
:00:27. > :00:28.nature and the Royal Horticultural Society believe
:00:29. > :00:31.that gardening itself can help kids develop and learn important things
:00:32. > :00:54.When it comes to the group -- world of gardening, nobody does it better
:00:55. > :00:57.or is more famous for it than the Chelsea Flower Show in London.
:00:58. > :01:01.Thousands of people flocked here every year to see the gorgeous
:01:02. > :01:04.greenery and the people behind it, the Royal Hall trickle -- Royal
:01:05. > :01:10.Horticultural Society things gardening can teach children a lot
:01:11. > :01:14.more than just planting a few bulbs. Nowadays, fewer kids have access to
:01:15. > :01:18.green spaces. One school has taken the green fingers challenge to the
:01:19. > :01:21.next level. These kids from East London have built a green oasis
:01:22. > :01:28.amongst the surrounding concrete jungle. I found it really fun when I
:01:29. > :01:34.started gardening because I like the feel of the soil and looking at the
:01:35. > :01:39.seedlings in germination. Sometimes I like gardening more than playing
:01:40. > :01:43.in the playground. It helps me learn things I don't learn anywhere else
:01:44. > :01:47.and it's very fun because you can dig around. It's important because
:01:48. > :01:52.it gives people the opportunity to connect with nature. But can
:01:53. > :01:56.gardening help you learn skills for school? They are learning how to
:01:57. > :02:01.work as a team and how to nurture plants. We did a maths lesson where
:02:02. > :02:05.we build some new planters and they had to calculate how much soil went
:02:06. > :02:09.into the planters, so it was a lesson about volume. Not every
:02:10. > :02:13.school can afford a potting paradise. They need to spend money
:02:14. > :02:18.elsewhere and it can be expensive to start up, but with almost 20,000
:02:19. > :02:21.schools already involved in the campaign for school gardening,
:02:22. > :02:24.progress has been made. It's now much more likely that a green
:02:25. > :02:31.fingers project could be hitting a playground near you. Lovely.
:02:32. > :02:36.That's right a vehicle with no steering wheel or no brakes.
:02:37. > :02:39.Sounds like something from the future, right?
:02:40. > :02:42.Well, it may not be that far off because
:02:43. > :02:48.Google has announced it's going to start building self-driving cars.
:02:49. > :02:51.The company plans to build 100 vehicles, which will just
:02:52. > :02:55.Some people say driverless cars could reduce car crashes,
:02:56. > :03:00.but some researchers believe they could make traffic worse.
:03:01. > :03:08.He is the man with a hat behind one of the biggest songs in the past
:03:09. > :03:11.year, Farrell Williams, the producer of Happy has been talking about
:03:12. > :03:17.writing the song and how hard it was. How do you make a song about a
:03:18. > :03:23.guy that is so happy that it is basically relentless? I found that
:03:24. > :03:26.very difficult. I ended up writing nine different attempts, nine
:03:27. > :03:34.different songs to try and fit the scene and nothing worked, so I asked
:03:35. > :03:35.myself on the 10th time that the answer was in the question all
:03:36. > :03:36.along. Some footie news now, and Spurs have
:03:37. > :03:40.a new manager, Mauricio Pochettino. You may recognise him
:03:41. > :03:42.because last season he was in charge of Southampton, who he
:03:43. > :03:45.guided to eighth in the league. The Argentine has agreed
:03:46. > :03:48.a five-year deal at the club and becomes Tottenham's tenth
:03:49. > :03:50.manager since 2001. Tennis, and Britain's Number one

:03:54. > :03:58.four sets after dropping the third. In the women's draw,

:04:02. > :04:06.in straight sets. The 1D boys head to Sunderland today
:04:07. > :04:09.for their first date Around 50,000 fans are expected

:04:35. > :04:37.like rolling them down a hill The celebration
:04:38. > :04:42.of the humble pumpkin began with a festival designed to bring people
:04:43. > :04:45.together in the local community. Now it's
:04:46. > :04:48.so popular they do it every year. That's all from me, but head over to
