0:00:06 > 0:00:08Hi, I'm Hayley with the top stories this Wednesday morning.
0:00:08 > 0:00:10Coming up in the next few minutes...
0:00:10 > 0:00:13As Leicester City race to the top of the league,
0:00:13 > 0:00:16they're influencing a trail behind them.
0:00:16 > 0:00:23And the man who caught this gigantic cod.
0:00:23 > 0:00:23This
0:00:23 > 0:00:24This is
0:00:24 > 0:00:25This is Newsround.
0:00:28 > 0:00:32First this morning, thousands of families around the UK
0:00:32 > 0:00:33are waiting to find out what will happen to their jobs
0:00:35 > 0:00:37in towns that make steel.
0:00:37 > 0:00:41It's because Tata, the biggest company that makes metal in the UK,
0:00:41 > 0:00:46is going to sell its business.
0:00:46 > 0:00:49The company has already announced lots of job losses but now says it
0:00:49 > 0:00:51plans to sell its factories because they are not
0:00:51 > 0:00:52making enough money.
0:00:55 > 0:00:57Jenny has been looking into why it's so important.
0:00:57 > 0:01:00Steel is the most widely used metal in the world.
0:01:00 > 0:01:01It can be extremely strong and flexible.
0:01:01 > 0:01:03It is used to make all kinds of things,
0:01:03 > 0:01:05like buildings and bridges.
0:01:05 > 0:01:08Planes, trains and cars all have parts made out of steel to help
0:01:08 > 0:01:09you get around.
0:01:09 > 0:01:12And you will find it all over your home and things
0:01:12 > 0:01:17like washing machines, fridges and radiators.
0:01:17 > 0:01:19British steel, especially from Sheffield, has long been
0:01:19 > 0:01:21acknowledged as some of the best in the world.
0:01:21 > 0:01:24The UK has a long history of making steel, dating all the way back
0:01:24 > 0:01:31to the 1800s.
0:01:31 > 0:01:33But over the last few decades, this has been changing.
0:01:33 > 0:01:36Nowadays, it is China that leads the way, producing around half
0:01:36 > 0:01:37of the world's steel.
0:01:37 > 0:01:39However, it is making more steel than it actually needs,
0:01:39 > 0:01:41selling the extra stuff cheaply all around the world.
0:01:41 > 0:01:45This is a problem for steel plants in the UK.
0:01:45 > 0:01:52They say that they are losing business because they can't match
0:01:52 > 0:01:55the low prices of cheaper Chinese steel, forcing many UK factories
0:01:55 > 0:01:56to shut down.
0:01:56 > 0:01:58A steelworks in Redcar in the north-east of England closed
0:01:58 > 0:02:01last year and now more than 1,000 people will be losing their jobs
0:02:01 > 0:02:04around the UK, with most of them at the UK's biggest steel plant
0:02:04 > 0:02:06in Port Talbot in Wales.
0:02:06 > 0:02:14Now the Government is coming under pressure to help the plants
0:02:14 > 0:02:15and the communities who need them for jobs.
0:02:15 > 0:02:18The Government says it is working to help staff find new jobs
0:02:18 > 0:02:19as quickly as possible.
0:02:19 > 0:02:22You can find out more about what's happening in the UK steel industry
0:02:22 > 0:02:24on the Newsround website.
0:02:24 > 0:02:26The England coach, Roy Hodgson, described himself as "bitterly
0:02:26 > 0:02:34disappointed" last night after England were beaten 2-1
0:02:34 > 0:02:36by the Netherlands in the friendly at Wembley.
0:02:36 > 0:02:39The visitors turned the game around despite England taking the lead
0:02:39 > 0:02:40in the first half.
0:02:40 > 0:02:43But even though he was on the losing side, it was good news for Leicester
0:02:43 > 0:02:44player Jamie Vardy.
0:02:44 > 0:02:46He scored his first international goal at Wembley
0:02:46 > 0:02:48in last night's match.
0:02:48 > 0:02:51And that's not all.
0:02:51 > 0:02:53Vardy and his team-mates at Leicester city have been
0:02:53 > 0:02:56inspiring these young girls to get involved in the beautiful game.
0:02:56 > 0:02:59Here's Leah with more.
0:02:59 > 0:03:03Mahrez, brilliant turn, Mahrez shoots, goal!
0:03:03 > 0:03:05Leicester City Football Club have put in an astonishing performance
0:03:05 > 0:03:08lately.
0:03:08 > 0:03:11In just 12 months, they have stormed from the bottom
0:03:11 > 0:03:14of the Premier League to prove themselves as potential
0:03:14 > 0:03:16champions this season.
0:03:16 > 0:03:18The team have put in such a successful performance over
0:03:18 > 0:03:21the past year that it has encouraged these girls to get more
0:03:21 > 0:03:23involved in football.
0:03:23 > 0:03:27All the kids turning up to some of our sessions in Leicester City
0:03:27 > 0:03:31kit, you know, I have been sort of outdone by Jamie Vardy
0:03:31 > 0:03:36when asking girls, what would be your perfect session?
0:03:36 > 0:03:38And they want him to come and coach.
0:03:38 > 0:03:40So, you know, it has been absolutely massive.
0:03:40 > 0:03:41Definitely.
0:03:41 > 0:03:43I only started liking it this year.
0:03:43 > 0:03:45Sometimes you're with your friends and you get to meet new people
0:03:45 > 0:03:46sometimes as well.
0:03:46 > 0:03:49They all work together and not one team-mate gets left out.
0:03:49 > 0:03:52They always pass the ball to everybody before they score.
0:03:52 > 0:03:55I like all the players and the like going to watch them
0:03:55 > 0:03:58with my dad, so it is quite fun and I like it
0:03:58 > 0:04:00when they score goals.
0:04:00 > 0:04:03I like how it is quite energetic and it is quite fun.
0:04:03 > 0:04:05Perhaps other football teams will follow Leicester City's lead
0:04:05 > 0:04:14by inspiring more girls to be football stars of the future.
0:04:14 > 0:04:16A fisherman is celebrating after landing the biggest cod ever
0:04:16 > 0:04:17caught by a British angler.
0:04:17 > 0:04:20Bert Williams caught the 93lb fish in the sea.
0:04:20 > 0:04:24Bert told the BBC he thought he had caught a dolphin.
0:04:24 > 0:04:27It took two people more than 25 minutes to land the fish off
0:04:27 > 0:04:31Soroya in Norway.
0:04:31 > 0:04:34Finally, to a pop tribute with a difference.
0:04:34 > 0:04:37A huge fan of this guy, Micheal Jackson, has made something
0:04:37 > 0:04:47a little bit unusual to remember him.
0:04:47 > 0:04:50Check this out - the seven foot tall statue is made from rice crispies,
0:04:50 > 0:04:51chocolate and icing.
0:04:51 > 0:04:55It took five weeks and won a bronze medal at the Cake International Show
0:04:55 > 0:04:56in Birmingham.
0:04:56 > 0:05:01It will now be sold off for charity.
0:05:01 > 0:05:03That's all from me, Newsround's back right here in about half an hour.
