0:00:09 > 0:00:12news stories today.

0:00:12 > 0:00:15How to deal with space junk.

0:00:15 > 0:00:19How these beavers are helping the environment in Scotland.

0:00:19 > 0:00:24And these daredevil fliers test their wings.

0:00:24 > 0:00:33This is Newsround.

0:00:33 > 0:00:35First to Donald Trump and tweets that have

0:00:35 > 0:00:42got people talking.

0:00:42 > 0:00:44President Trump has used his Twitter account to share three

0:00:44 > 0:00:49anti-Muslim videos from a group with extreme opinions.

0:00:49 > 0:00:51The group, called Britain First, is known for its strong

0:00:51 > 0:00:54anti-immigration views.

0:00:54 > 0:00:57One of the videos retweeted by the American President claims

0:00:57 > 0:00:59to show a Muslim migrant attacking a man on crutches.

0:00:59 > 0:01:01UK Prime Minister Theresa May's official spokesperson said

0:01:01 > 0:01:05it was wrong for the President to have done this.

0:01:05 > 0:01:08Donald Trump has responded by saying Theresa May should focus

0:01:08 > 0:01:14on terrorism in the UK instead of criticising him.

0:01:14 > 0:01:15When you've finished with your crisp

0:01:15 > 0:01:19packet or drinks bottle where does it go?

0:01:19 > 0:01:22In the bin, you might say, but do you know that a fifth

0:01:22 > 0:01:25of all rubbish that ends up on our beaches is from our food

0:01:25 > 0:01:27packets that we throw away, thinking that's the end of it?

0:01:27 > 0:01:31There's been more rubbish found on beaches this year

0:01:31 > 0:01:38and The Marine Conservation Society is now calling on the government

0:01:38 > 0:01:40to make us pay more for using plastic food packet stuffs

0:01:40 > 0:01:42that we only use once and throw away.

0:01:42 > 0:01:44Forget texting, SnapChatting or Instagramming your mates.

0:01:44 > 0:01:47These kids in Kidderminster are going old school.

0:01:47 > 0:01:52"Dear Jasmine.

0:01:52 > 0:01:55Thank you so much for your very lovely and well-written letter."

0:01:55 > 0:01:56Putting pen to paper.

0:01:56 > 0:01:58These guys are pen pals with the local

0:01:58 > 0:02:02home for the elderly.

0:02:02 > 0:02:11You get to listen to what places they have been

0:02:11 > 0:02:14to and what they've been doing and the cheeky stuff they've done.

0:02:14 > 0:02:16You get to ask all the questions you really want.

0:02:16 > 0:02:18And most of the time they answer them.

0:02:18 > 0:02:22So without Snapchat or Instagram, they are still having fun.

0:02:22 > 0:02:25What do their older pen pals think about it?

0:02:25 > 0:02:27Enid, I have got your letter from the school, from

0:02:27 > 0:02:29one of your pen pals called Tilly.

0:02:29 > 0:02:31Shall I read it to you?

0:02:31 > 0:02:36They are lovely, those kids.

0:02:36 > 0:02:38Rhys asks what was your favourite trip.

0:02:38 > 0:02:41Weston-Super-Mare.

0:02:41 > 0:02:45Up until now it has just been letters.

0:02:45 > 0:02:48Just before Christmas they will meet in real life.

0:02:48 > 0:02:55And be able to share their stories face to face.

0:02:55 > 0:02:59Three beavers have been released into the wild in Argyll in Scotland.

0:02:59 > 0:03:01It's all part of a pilot study which has been

0:03:01 > 0:03:03going on for around eight years.

0:03:03 > 0:03:07Before that they hadn't lived in the wild for 400 years.

0:03:07 > 0:03:12These beavers have come all the way from Bavaria.

0:03:12 > 0:03:15Just a small number of the animals can help the environment by creating

0:03:15 > 0:03:16new wetlands and improving woodland.

0:03:16 > 0:03:21Looks like they're settling in well.

0:03:21 > 0:03:24Next, believe it or not, there's loads of junk floating

0:03:24 > 0:03:27around in space and it can be a problem for spacecrafts and

0:03:27 > 0:03:29satellites trying to work up there.

0:03:29 > 0:03:31But you can't just get the vacuum cleaner out!

0:03:31 > 0:03:33I've been finding out about a spacecraft hoping to give

0:03:33 > 0:03:40the atmosphere a clear-up.

0:03:40 > 0:03:44There are around half a million pieces of junk in space.

0:03:44 > 0:03:47Bits of old rockets, satellites that don't work, and even

0:03:47 > 0:03:50things astronauts have dropped.

0:03:50 > 0:03:56Whoops!

0:03:56 > 0:03:59All that rubbish weighs around 7500 tonnes, and that is more

0:03:59 > 0:04:00than the weight of 1000 elephants.

0:04:00 > 0:04:02This space junk can do serious damage.

0:04:02 > 0:04:04Just a tiny fleck of paint caused this crack

0:04:04 > 0:04:06on the International Space Station.

0:04:06 > 0:04:08A European satellite that stopped working years ago

0:04:08 > 0:04:09is still orbiting around earth.

0:04:09 > 0:04:13It is the size of a double-decker bus and could be a big problem

0:04:13 > 0:04:20for satellites in its path trying to do their own job.

0:04:20 > 0:04:25But the Remove Debris Spacecraft could be the answer.

0:04:25 > 0:04:28Next year a team of UK scientists will test out a harpoon and a net

0:04:28 > 0:04:34to grab floating space junk.

0:04:34 > 0:04:37The rubbish will then burn up as it gets dragged back towards Earth.

0:04:37 > 0:04:38Good luck with the cleaning.

0:04:38 > 0:04:41Next to a pretty unusal way to board a plane.

0:04:41 > 0:04:47Vincent Reffet and Fred Fugen decided

0:04:47 > 0:04:50to enter a flying plane by throwing themselves off Jungfrau

0:04:50 > 0:04:52Mountain in the Swiss Alps in a flying suit and jumping

0:04:52 > 0:04:56through the doorway that's only about the size of me.

0:04:56 > 0:05:01Pretty amazing. Don't try that next time you want to go on holiday!
