Paid to poo in India Presenter: A new scheme in India has been introduced to improve children’s toilet habits. In Gujarat, a state in the northwest of the country, children are being paid to use public toilets. There is a problem in India with people going to the toilet outside. It is estimated around half of the population do not use a proper toilet. Many people in the country don’t have toilets in their homes. Children are being paid one rupee a day – that’s less than half a Swedish crown – if they use the public toilets. The children’s charity UNICEF has previously tried to bring awareness to the issue around the country and released this song in India. It’s called Take The Poo To The Loo. Music Around 200,000 children die in India from diseases like diarrhoea. It is hoped the scheme in Gujarat will stop such diseases from spreading and, if the younger generation change their habits, then adults will do the same too.

Female football players – finally in the game. Presenter: The latest version of a popular football video game will include female players for the first time. It will have women’s national teams from 12 countries, including Sweden. The other countries are: Australia, Brazil, Canada, China, England, France, Germany, Italy, Mexico, Spain and the US. As women’s football has risen in popularity, fans of the sport have been putting increasing pressure on the makers of the video game to include female players. A petition on the website change.org stated: "Young girls can't be portrayed by male video game characters.” The petition was signed by thousands of people. When the news was announced, Kosovare Asllani, a Swedish female professional player, tweeted in English: “Finally, we are in the game.”

“I’m sorry” letter goes viral Presenter: And finally, an 8-year-old boy in Canada found fame after he returned a book to his local library.

Jackson: I’m sorry that a page ripped when I fell asleep reading. It won’t happen again. I’m sorry. From Jackson.

The library posted a picture of the note on Facebook to try and find Jackson and the story became big news in Canada. This is what he thinks about it all.
