• And a man in Australia says a Star Wars costume saved his life
• 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.
