Hi, guys, Ore here live and all alone. You've made a good choice | :00:24. | :00:29. | |
tuning in, I've got all you need to know. Here is what is in store. The | :00:29. | :00:35. | |
winner of The X Factor 2011 is... Matthew Raymond-Barker, you know... | :00:35. | :00:42. | |
No? Fill you in later. Leah is live at Wimbledon. What you got? Yes, we | :00:42. | :00:47. | |
know who is through to the ladies final and find out why you might | :00:47. | :00:51. | |
need these 3D glasses over the weekend instead of your normal | :00:51. | :00:53. | |
shades. Before all that, it's not the | :00:53. | :00:56. | |
weekend, it's not the school holidays, but loads of you have had | :00:56. | :01:00. | |
an extra day off lessons today. It's because many teachers across | :01:00. | :01:05. | |
England and Wales have gone on strike. At least 12,000 schools | :01:05. | :01:08. | |
were affected, the biggest walkout by teachers in years. Your thoughts | :01:08. | :01:15. | |
coming up. First, Leah has been in the max. Lots of schools have been | :01:15. | :01:20. | |
strangely quiet today. But you can't say the same for the parks. | :01:20. | :01:24. | |
So, why are none of these kids at school? | :01:24. | :01:28. | |
Well, today, teachers and lots of other people paid by the Government | :01:28. | :01:33. | |
like council workers and coastguards, are all on strike. | :01:33. | :01:37. | |
It's OK and I'm enjoying it so far. What about you, Petra, are you | :01:37. | :01:41. | |
happy to have a day off? Yes. I like it when there's days off, | :01:41. | :01:48. | |
don't have to go to school. Don't do hard work. They're protesting | :01:48. | :01:52. | |
because they think the Government's being unfair by changing their | :01:52. | :01:56. | |
pensions. That's the money you get to live on when you eventually stop | :01:56. | :01:59. | |
working. They reckon they'll end up with less money. | :01:59. | :02:04. | |
We need to negotiate on the issues of working longer, paying more and | :02:04. | :02:07. | |
getting less and striking today hopefully will make the Government | :02:07. | :02:12. | |
take that process a lot more seriously than it is at the moment. | :02:12. | :02:17. | |
But the Government says it's fair to ask teachers to pay a bit more. | :02:17. | :02:21. | |
They say their pensions should be more equal to what some workers in | :02:21. | :02:25. | |
other jobs pay. Well, well, well. Loads of you have | :02:25. | :02:30. | |
been telling us your thoughts about the strikes online. 12-year-old | :02:30. | :02:34. | |
Sharon says: It's most unfair that the whole country gets a day off | :02:34. | :02:39. | |
like my sister, whereas I have to do a max exam. Jade who is 13 says, | :02:39. | :02:44. | |
my school is off on strike day, the teachers seem to be happier than us | :02:44. | :02:49. | |
lot about it. Ten-year-old Sam is happy because his school ask | :02:49. | :02:52. | |
closing, but he's missing football club. | :02:52. | :02:56. | |
You guys are obviously loving the brand-new website. Thanks for | :02:56. | :02:59. | |
getting in touch. Britain's most famous couple are sharing their | :02:59. | :03:04. | |
love overseas for the first time. Wills and Kate are on their way to | :03:04. | :03:08. | |
Canada as we speak for their first official foreign visit. Over nine | :03:08. | :03:13. | |
days, they'll take part in a dragon boat race and go to a rodeo. It's | :03:13. | :03:16. | |
Kate's first time in Canada, but Wills went there 13 years ago with | :03:16. | :03:21. | |
his dad and little Boro Harry. It was only a few days ago when the | :03:21. | :03:26. | |
Royal pair were at Wimbledon. She may not have any Royal blood in her | :03:26. | :03:30. | |
but she's a Princess in our eyes! Leah is at the All England Club. | :03:30. | :03:38. | |
What is going down? We finally know who is through to the ladies final. | :03:38. | :03:42. | |
Maria Sharapova and Petra Kvitova. It's been a busy day on Centre | :03:42. | :03:47. | |
Court. Former Wimbledon champ, Maria Sharapova was up against | :03:48. | :03:56. | |
Sabine Lisicki from Germany and Sharapova won in two sets. Sabine | :03:56. | :04:01. | |
Lisicki wrote in to the tournament, as a wild card, asking if she could | :04:01. | :04:07. | |
take part. In the end, Sharapova proved too much for her. In the | :04:07. | :04:11. | |
other semi-final, Petra Kvitova made a strong start against | :04:11. | :04:15. | |
Victoria Azarenka. Azarenka fought back but wasn't good enough and won | :04:15. | :04:19. | |
in three sets. Andy Murray isn't in action until tomorrow, but good | :04:19. | :04:23. | |
news for the Brits. Lom Brody made it through to the semi-finals in | :04:23. | :04:31. | |
the boys singles. -- Liam Brody. He's been training with Djokovic. - | :04:31. | :04:35. | |
- Broady. All the finals are going to be played in cinemas in 3D | :04:35. | :04:38. | |
across the country. Are you ready? I am! | :04:38. | :04:47. | |
I am. From Wimbledon to the Scottish seas where a swarm of | :04:47. | :04:51. | |
jellyfish have shut down a power station. They got stuck in the | :04:51. | :04:54. | |
filters after they floated in towards the station ats to | :04:54. | :04:58. | |
necessary. Workers decided it was safer to turn off the power until | :04:58. | :05:02. | |
the swarm was cleared. It's not often you can say a new country is | :05:02. | :05:06. | |
about to be created. But, next week, that is what is happening in | :05:06. | :05:10. | |
Africa's biggest nation, Sudan. It's hoped that splitting the | :05:10. | :05:13. | |
country in two, making a new country called South Sudan, will | :05:13. | :05:17. | |
help end years of fighting. Recently, people living near the | :05:17. | :05:22. | |
border have been caught up in terrible violence. | :05:22. | :05:27. | |
This is all that remains of one of the villages caught up in fighting | :05:27. | :05:32. | |
near the border between north and south Sudan. | :05:32. | :05:36. | |
After a 21-year Civil War, south Sudan is finally gaining | :05:36. | :05:41. | |
independence to become its own country on the 9th July. | :05:41. | :05:46. | |
Tensions are still rising between the north and those who support the | :05:46. | :05:54. | |
south. Some of the worst violence is happening in a place called | :05:54. | :05:57. | |
South Kordofan. It's hard to find out exactly what is happening, as | :05:57. | :06:02. | |
the area's been pretty much cut off by the military. But aid workers | :06:02. | :06:05. | |
who've been in Sudan say there have been daily bomb attacked by | :06:05. | :06:08. | |
Government forces from the north and people live in constant fear. | :06:08. | :06:12. | |
As a result, tens of thousands of people are on the move trying to | :06:12. | :06:18. | |
escape the fighting. We estimate that about 70,000 | :06:18. | :06:23. | |
people have moved into the mountain range, the very, very isolated area | :06:23. | :06:27. | |
which is difficult to access at the best of times. Right now, the | :06:27. | :06:31. | |
international community are being hindered on doing so by the armies | :06:31. | :06:36. | |
involved in the fighting. International leaders like US | :06:36. | :06:40. | |
President, Barack Obama, are calling for a ceasefire. Talks are | :06:40. | :06:43. | |
happening in Ethiopia to try and stop the violence. | :06:44. | :06:48. | |
Nobody knows whether these will work. | :06:48. | :06:54. | |
Now then, remember the name - Matthew Raymond-Barker? Probably | :06:54. | :06:59. | |
the most famous Brit in France. The 21-year-old from London's just won | :06:59. | :07:04. | |
the French version of The X Factor, he did have a go in the UK but only | :07:04. | :07:07. | |
made it to boot camp. So, while he was studying in the city of | :07:07. | :07:11. | |
Toulouse, hi entered the French show and hit the jackpot. The thing | :07:11. | :07:16. | |
is, he really isn't sure why the French were such big fans. Maybe | :07:16. | :07:20. | |
because I brought a more English/American style to it like a | :07:20. | :07:26. | |
lot of people like. I really don't have any idea why I won. | :07:26. | :07:32. | |
Neither am I to be honest. I've had some seriously hairy house mates, | :07:32. | :07:37. | |
Pete, Kez, you know I'm talking about you, but this one takes my | :07:37. | :07:40. | |
biscuit. Digit the gorilla has been adopted by zoo keepers in France | :07:40. | :07:45. | |
who took her in after she was rejected by her real mum. The | :07:45. | :07:49. |
