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