0:00:05 > 0:00:06Morning, guys.
0:00:06 > 0:00:08It's Tuesday, I'm Ricky and this is Newsround.
0:00:08 > 0:00:13Here's what's coming up:
0:00:13 > 0:00:15Closing the road for a proper playtime.
0:00:15 > 0:00:23And how much food does a dolphin need to eat?
0:00:30 > 0:00:33First up, a story of how community spirit and playing in the street has
0:00:33 > 0:00:36helped a girl with autism make friends for life.
0:00:36 > 0:00:37Hayley's got this one.
0:00:37 > 0:00:41This street in Bristol in south-west England kicks out cars once a week
0:00:41 > 0:00:43so that children can play more freely.
0:00:43 > 0:00:46The scheme is called Playing Out and has had a big impact
0:00:46 > 0:00:48on these kids' lives.
0:00:48 > 0:00:50We've made lots of friends in the street.
0:00:50 > 0:00:54Well, it's really fun and you get to do lots of activities.
0:00:54 > 0:00:57It's also a place where Poppy has been able to make new friends.
0:00:57 > 0:01:00I don't go to school, I'm hospital educated.
0:01:00 > 0:01:02So that's basically the same as home educated,
0:01:02 > 0:01:05but my friends still go to school.
0:01:05 > 0:01:08Poppy was born with autism, which is a condition that can affect
0:01:08 > 0:01:11the way you live your life and see the world around you.
0:01:11 > 0:01:14Poppy was at a school, but because of her anxiety
0:01:14 > 0:01:16linked to her autism, that was too overwhelming
0:01:16 > 0:01:17and she was becoming very unwell.
0:01:17 > 0:01:20So now she stays at home and has a tutor come
0:01:20 > 0:01:22to the house, which is sent by the hospital education service.
0:01:22 > 0:01:25So for her, playing out with other children is more of a rarity.
0:01:25 > 0:01:29Most streets, she is too frightened to walk down because of the noise.
0:01:29 > 0:01:31Yet you'll see her in this street feeling completely happy,
0:01:31 > 0:01:32playing with all the children.
0:01:32 > 0:01:40It's just so valuable to us as a family.
0:01:40 > 0:01:43If I didn't do Playing Out, I probably wouldn't have met someone
0:01:43 > 0:01:45else who is home educated like me.
0:01:45 > 0:01:52She's called Imelda May and we're best friends.
0:01:52 > 0:01:55And if you want to know more about autism, or to get
0:01:55 > 0:01:57some info about anxiety, you can find loads of information
0:01:57 > 0:02:00and advice over at Newsround Online where you can also watch our
0:02:00 > 0:02:08two special programmes.
0:02:10 > 0:02:17A round-up of some of these sports stories. David Beckham his starting
0:02:17 > 0:02:22his own team in America. It will play in Miami, Florida, but does not
0:02:22 > 0:02:32have a name yet. Team GB has a new member. The world number one in
0:02:32 > 0:02:41Wiltshire tennis. What about throwing a rubber fish? This annual
0:02:41 > 0:02:47competition takes place in Australia is the tradition of fisher men
0:02:47 > 0:02:54throwing the catch. It is not as easy as it looks.
0:02:54 > 0:02:57Next - if we don't eat enough, we run out of energy
0:02:57 > 0:02:58pretty quickly, right?
0:02:58 > 0:03:01That's because all of us use energy from food, called calories,
0:03:01 > 0:03:02to keep us on the move.
0:03:02 > 0:03:05And if you think you've got a plateful, you should see how much
0:03:05 > 0:03:06dolphins need to munch.
0:03:06 > 0:03:07Felling peckish?
0:03:07 > 0:03:10If you have had an active day, you might find your tummy rumbling.
0:03:10 > 0:03:13But well kids like you are recommended to munch around
0:03:13 > 0:03:141500 calories each day.
0:03:14 > 0:03:16You will never guess how much dolphins need to eat.
0:03:16 > 0:03:19New research has found that our flippered friends need up
0:03:19 > 0:03:20to a whopping 33,000 calories a day!
0:03:20 > 0:03:28Wow!
0:03:29 > 0:03:32That's 60 plates of salmon to me and you, and amazingly,
0:03:32 > 0:03:34that amount was less than scientists expected.
0:03:34 > 0:03:37The amount of food a dolphin needs varies depending on its size
0:03:37 > 0:03:38and whether it's resting, sleeping, diving or
0:03:38 > 0:03:40swimming, as well as the temperature of the ocean.
0:03:40 > 0:03:42Looks like this guy's working up an appetite.
0:03:42 > 0:03:45The study was carried out on common bottlenosed dolphins in Florida.
0:03:45 > 0:03:48They were captured for a short time in order to be monitored
0:03:48 > 0:03:50by scientists, who say the research will help with conservation.
0:03:50 > 0:03:53I just hope all that fish is providing enough vitamin C.
0:03:53 > 0:03:55Get it, because they're in the C, the sea...
0:03:55 > 0:04:03Never mind.
0:04:08 > 0:04:10Teenagers in Wales could be able to vote in some
0:04:10 > 0:04:12elections from the age of 16.
0:04:12 > 0:04:15The Welsh government says it wants to lower the age at which people
0:04:15 > 0:04:17can vote from 18 to 16 in local elections.
0:04:17 > 0:04:19In Scotland the voting age has already been
0:04:19 > 0:04:21lowered for some elections, but in the rest of the UK
0:04:21 > 0:04:24there are no plans to let 16 and 17-year-olds vote.
0:04:24 > 0:04:28These Welsh teenagers told us what they think of the idea.
0:04:28 > 0:04:32It will be a good thing for us to be able to vote because we would be
0:04:32 > 0:04:33voting for our future.
0:04:33 > 0:04:36Personally, I don't believe we should lower the age to 16
0:04:36 > 0:04:38because I don't feel that schools are educating us enough
0:04:38 > 0:04:45on the politics side of things.
0:04:45 > 0:04:47I'm in favour of voting at 16 because I think
0:04:47 > 0:04:51we are educated enough at 16 years old because we use social media.
0:04:51 > 0:04:52We see the parties, the advertisements
0:04:52 > 0:04:53they put out out there.
0:04:53 > 0:04:56It would probably raise a lot of interest within the 16,
0:04:56 > 0:04:5917-year-olds, but at the same time I feel like a lot of students
0:04:59 > 0:05:01who are 16, 17 will take their vote for granted.
0:05:01 > 0:05:04They'd just sort of vote for whoever their mates are voting for.
0:05:04 > 0:05:08If I use my voice I can change my future, so I think I would.
0:05:08 > 0:05:10It's really important for everyone to vote
0:05:10 > 0:05:17if they have the chance to, and I think maybe if we did
0:05:17 > 0:05:24have the right to vote, it would be more appealing
0:05:24 > 0:05:32for our age group to vote.
0:05:37 > 0:05:42We want to know what you think about this idea. Should you be able to
0:05:42 > 0:05:49vote in elections at the age of 16? Is it old enough, or is 18 still the
0:05:49 > 0:05:53right age. Head over to the website and have a say. That is it from me
0:05:53 > 0:06:00and the team. Hayley is back this afternoon at 4:20pm. See you later.
0:06:00 > 0:06:05Goodbye.
