• Ebola children without parents Presenter: Thousands of children in West Africa are being looked after by charities because their parents died from Ebola. Ebola is a virus that has killed around 5,000 people in Africa in the last year. Haja is 17 and lives in Sierra Leone. When she and her family got Ebola, she was the only one to survive. Listen to what she says to the BBC Haja: Ten of them died. Only I survived. But many of the children still have aunts and uncles or grandparents and the charities are helping the children to find family that they can go and live with.

• 2014 – the hottest year ever Presenter: Scientists in America say 2014 was the hottest year ever. They measured temperatures around the world and found that they were higher than usual in lots of countries. The first time temperatures were measured around the world was in 1880. Scientists say it shows that people should do more to stop global warming. They say if temperatures keep going up it will be bad for the environment in the future. There could be more bad weather, like hurricanes and floods, and some animals will not be able to survive.
• Africa to the moon Presenter: Africa wants to start sending people into space. A new project has started to make that happen. The project is called Africa2moon and it also wants to help young people to become interested in science and maths. It could take a long time for a space mission from Africa to happen – around ten years – but the young people of today could become astronauts of the future.

Listen to Jonathan Weltman from the Africa2moon project speaking to SABC news. Jonathan Weltman: “You can give students a dream to be involved in the final mission which could be a reality for them by the time they get through university.” Presenter: A website has been set up and people can give money to help the project. But some people think money should be spent on other things in Africa. The say helping poor people is more important, than going into space.

• Stars Wars costume saved my life Presenter: A man in Australia says something very strange saved his life. It was a Star Wars costume. Scott Huxley is a big fan of the Star Wars films. He wanted to do something for charity so he decided to travel around Australia dressed as a Storm Trooper – a character from the films.

On his travels, a King snake tried to bite him. But he says being dressed as a Storm Trooper saved his life because the snake couldn’t bite through the costume. King snakes are very common in Australia. They are found in all parts of the country and can grow up to three metres long.
