It's Friday, I'm Jenny, you are live with Newsround. | :00:00. | :00:00. | |
Keep watching, because we've got all this on the way! | :00:07. | :00:10. | |
And the town that still thinks it's Christmas. | :00:11. | :00:19. | |
Schools in Orkney, Shetland and the Western Isles of Scotland | :00:20. | :00:28. | |
have all closed today as Storm Gertrude hits the UK, | :00:29. | :00:34. | |
strong winds measuring up to 70mph are due | :00:35. | :00:36. | |
to arrive this morning, with many train companies taking | :00:37. | :00:39. | |
the decision to cut services because of worries | :00:40. | :00:40. | |
Strong winds and heavy rain are likely to affect people living | :00:41. | :00:53. | |
in Northern Ireland and Northern England, | :00:54. | :00:55. | |
More child refugees from the middle eastern country of Syria will be | :00:56. | :00:59. | |
The government will invite kids who have been separated | :01:00. | :01:03. | |
from their families and are currently living | :01:04. | :01:04. | |
in refugee camps - not those who have already made | :01:05. | :01:07. | |
War and conflict in Syria in the Middle East has sent | :01:08. | :01:11. | |
thousands of people, many of them children, | :01:12. | :01:13. | |
looking for safety in other countries. | :01:14. | :01:15. | |
Some have travelled to Europe, making the dangerous journey | :01:16. | :01:17. | |
Children can get split up from their families and end | :01:18. | :01:22. | |
Others are living in refugee camps in countries neighbouring Syria - | :01:23. | :01:26. | |
Here, they live in tents and shelters. | :01:27. | :01:34. | |
Last year the government said that it would allow 20,000 people | :01:35. | :01:36. | |
from camps like these to live in the UK. | :01:37. | :01:39. | |
They have come under pressure to do more, | :01:40. | :01:41. | |
especially for children who have travelled to Europe on their own. | :01:42. | :01:45. | |
They said they will give more help but have not put a precise | :01:46. | :01:48. | |
They want to focus on children in camps in places like Jordan | :01:49. | :01:54. | |
and Lebanon but ministers say they do not want to encourage more | :01:55. | :01:57. | |
families to make a very dangerous trip across Europe. | :01:58. | :02:06. | |
Labour have said they need to help the children already here in Europe. | :02:07. | :02:13. | |
Some charities like Save the Children are worried. | :02:14. | :02:16. | |
The war in Syria has gone on for five years now, | :02:17. | :02:19. | |
a long time and lots of children have already fled that area | :02:20. | :02:22. | |
It is good news the government wants to help these children | :02:23. | :02:27. | |
but it is important they also help those who have already fled | :02:28. | :02:30. | |
The details are not clear but more vulnerable children will be able | :02:31. | :02:36. | |
There are worries that many thousands more already in Europe | :02:37. | :02:42. | |
Lots of you might have your own Barbie at home but take a good look | :02:43. | :02:50. | |
The toy maker Mattel has introduced new different shapes | :02:51. | :02:59. | |
of the well-known character - including curvy, tall and petite. | :03:00. | :03:01. | |
As well as new skin tones and more than 20 different eye colours. | :03:02. | :03:05. | |
Many people had complained that the traditional barbie | :03:06. | :03:06. | |
It shows what is actually happening in the real world and helps people | :03:07. | :03:12. | |
Changing the sizes and making them different, and they will not be | :03:13. | :03:19. | |
Sometimes it can be quite boring to have them all blondes and perfect | :03:20. | :03:26. | |
Next, to a little town in Kent, in the South of England, | :03:27. | :03:35. | |
where it's still Christmas, and it could even continue | :03:36. | :03:37. | |
I've been to Paddock Wood to investigate. | :03:38. | :03:46. | |
A typical high street on a rainy day in late January - | :03:47. | :03:49. | |
shopping bags, mums and dads rushing to and from work... | :03:50. | :03:51. | |
Here in Paddock wood, it still looks a lot like Christmas. | :03:52. | :03:56. | |
That's because there's a collared dove, nesting on her eggs, | :03:57. | :03:58. | |
The mum-to-be was discovered when the council started to take | :03:59. | :04:06. | |
All nesting birds in the UKare protected under something called | :04:07. | :04:15. | |
the wildlife and countryside act, which makes it illegal to interfere | :04:16. | :04:18. | |
with an active nest, even if it's in your back garden. | :04:19. | :04:20. | |
That means the tree will have to stay in place until the eggs | :04:21. | :04:23. | |
hatch and the chicks have flown the nest. | :04:24. | :04:25. | |
So what do the local children think? | :04:26. | :04:32. | |
It is quite good to bring a bit of Christmas spirit into January. I | :04:33. | :04:39. | |
think it is cool because not many exciting things happening here. I | :04:40. | :04:42. | |
think it is quite sweet to have some wildlife near the village. I hate | :04:43. | :04:49. | |
that -- I hope that her chicks survive and she has more eggs later | :04:50. | :04:54. | |
on. Hopefully it stays in the tree so that we can keep it up until next | :04:55. | :04:59. | |
Christmas. You can do the call, can't you? Yeah. | :05:00. | :05:02. | |
I went to the nearby wildlife rescue to | :05:03. | :05:09. | |
Find out how long their feathered guest might stay. | :05:10. | :05:14. | |
Once they have hatched, it normally takes from ten to 15 days before | :05:15. | :05:18. | |
they're ready to leave nest. and tree, could be here | :05:19. | :05:20. | |
past Valentine's Day. They make very basic nests but one | :05:21. | :05:32. | |
of the most important factors is that they have lots of food around. | :05:33. | :05:38. | |
You may find that there is a garden near by and for them it is quite a | :05:39. | :05:40. | |
nice little site. Comedian Jo Brand has | :05:41. | :05:42. | |
finished her massive She walked from Hull | :05:43. | :05:47. | |
all the way to Liverpool. It took her seven days | :05:48. | :05:54. | |
to complete the 135-mile trek. Newsround's back | :05:55. | :05:59. | |
right here at 4.20pm. | :06:00. | :06:01. |
