Hello and welcome to the Week Junior show.
I'm Bex and I'm joined by writers Joe and Eve from the Week Junior, a magazine making sense of the world for 8 to 14 year olds.
This week, the team will be talking about some of the news featured in this week's issue, including breaking down what's been happening in the Middle East.
We'll also be discussing a Stone Age discovery in Germany, a new Olympic sport and whether adverts played during sports are distracting for viewers.
As well as that, we've also got an exclusive interview with some of the cast of Disney Pixar's new film, Hoppers.
But more on that later.
In this week's issue of the magazine there is a story about the Fido Awards that took place in London last weekend, which celebrate the best dog performances in films over the last year.
So it got me thinking, who's your favourite animal character in a film?
Eve, how about you?
Well, I'm going to have to mention two here.
I think an honourable mention is Paddington Bear, and I've probably stolen everyone's favourite answer.
But we just love Paddington Bear.
He's great.
But another animal character I love is Pascal, the Chameleon from Tangled, because Tangled is one of my favourite films ever.
And I would just love to have a little Pascal sitting on my shoulder, helping me go about my day.
He's just so cute.
A little pal with you at all times.
I respect that.
That's a lovely one.
Joe, how about you?
I've gone with something that's maybe a bit niche, but have you ever seen Horton Hears a Who?
Yes.
Yeah.
So it's not Horton I'm going with.
There's this little yellow ball of fuzz called Katie, who's very cute.
She's in the movie.
I Googled her this morning and she's apparently supposed to be a yak, although she doesn't really look like a yak.
She doesn't have many lines, but I won't give much away.
But I think she steals every single scene she's in.
She's probably only in it for like a minute overall.
But go check it out if you can.
She's amazing.
Oh, I do love a good animal scene stealer.
I'm going for a little pig called Babe.
Now, I love Babe, the original film.
If you don't know it's all about?
Well, I think it was from a book by Dick King Smith, right called The Sheep Pig.
And it was about a pig who can speak to sheep and help to round them up.
And I just think Babe is one of the cutest creatures out there.
So I think I'm going to go for Babe. for my character, for my favourite animal.
And as Eve pointed out before the podcast, it's partly because I just love the Bar-am-you bit.
May your breed be true.
It's just fun to say.
Now, if you want to tell us who your favourite on-screen animal film star is, you can.
Please send an email to hello at theweekjuniorcouk or leave a voice note at funkidslivecom.
Slash theweekjunior.
Just grab a grown-up, look for that big red button and record your voice.
Now, if your voice note is played next week, you could win a Week Junior Roving Reporter badge.
Last week we asked listeners what they were dressing up as for World Book Day, and we've had so many people get in touch.
Thank you so much.
So here is one from Jess.
Hi, The Week Junior.
My name's Jess, and I'm seven years old.
For World Book Day, I'm dressing up as Fern from Charlotte's Web and I've made a paper mache pig and a spider as part of the costume.
Bye, The Week Junior.
Oh, I love that.
You can tell some effort has gone into that.
And Charlotte's Web, that's a classic.
We don't talk about that book often enough.
Jess, thank you very much for that.
We've also had a message here from Yan Yan.
Hello, The Week Junior.
My name is Yan Yan and I'm nine years old.
The character I would dress up as is the Wizard of Oz from The Wizard of Oz, because he's really good at making inventions.
The Wizard of Oz is a great shout.
I love the idea of getting the book The Wizard of Oz and not picking Dorothy or the Scarecrow or the Tin Man or the Lion.
Going a bit off beat there is a great choice.
We had another message here from Rufus.
Hi, Lloyd Jr.
My name is Rufus and I'm seven.
And for World Book Day, we're doing a book in a box.
And my favourite book is steve backshall, because there's lots of animals and i like the snakes the most.
Bye, i love your show.
That's a great one.
Steve backshall's books are amazing.
They're full of brilliant animals.
Um, i met steve backshall once and he helped me.
He taught me how to hold an eagle on my hand.
It was lovely and i was terrified.
Um, and we also have a message here from ria.
Hello the week junior.
My name is ria and i'm 11 years old.
The book character I'm going to be this year is Hedwig, as he's really cute and I love Harry Potter.
I also love animals.
Bye, and I love your show.
Oh, thank you so much, Ria.
I've got to say that would also be a very good answer for on-screen animal star for this week's question as well, because Hedwig, of course in Harry Potter is a great old pet for Harry.
We've also had a message here from Leo and Charlie, who've answered two questions this week.
Hello, my name is Leo and I'm 10 years old and this is my brother Charlie who is 7 years old.
So we're going to answer some of your questions that you asked on the podcast.
So my brother Charlie will tell you about why he loves Pokemon and his favourite Pokemon.
My favourite Pokemon is Arceus because Arceus is the strongest Pokemon.
I think he also has an Arcea VMAX, and I think it's gold as well, is that right?
Yep.
So I'm also going to be answering the question of what am I going to be dressing up for Book Day?
The answer is Paddington.
I love Paddington so much.
He's such a lovable character.
And he always smiles when I see him in a film or something.
And my dad was born in Paddington, near Paddington Station.
And if some people don't know, then Paddington Station is kind of where it was filmed the first pendant film and where it kind of originated from in the film.
It shows that, um, thank you so much.
The week junior.
I love your show.
We love your show.
And it's such a delight to read your magazines as well.
Thank you.
Bye.
Bye.
Thank you to everyone who got in touch this week.
Jess, Yan Yan, Rufus, Ria, Leo and Charlie, all of you absolute heroes and legends and we love you.
And if you want to hear your voice on next week's podcast, you really can do it.
It's pretty easy.
Just go to funkidslivecom, slash theweekjunior and send us a voice note there about your favourite on-screen animal stars.
Let's turn our attention to the latest magazine to talk about what's been happening in the news headlines this week.
Joe what are you talking about this week?
It's a cover story, which is about the fighting currently taking place in the Middle East.
So on the 28th of February, the US and Israel launched air attacks on Iran.
Iran responded by launching air attacks on Israel and several other countries in the region.
To help cover the story and shape what we wrote, we put out a request on social media asking people if their children had been asking about events in the Middle East and what it was specifically that they had been asking about.
One question we were asked was why the US and Israel launched the attacks.
Now, various reasons were put forward by US President Donald Trump in a speech that he gave on the day the attacks were launched.
And one of the things he did in the speech was urge the Iranian people to take over their government.
Now for decades, Iran's leader, Ayatollah Ali Khamenei, who was killed on the first day of the attacks, oversaw a government that imposed very strict rules and harsh punishments on Iran's people, particularly women and girls, and there have been large protests against the country's rulers, including some earlier this year.
Another question we were asked is why Iran responded by attacking several countries in the region.
Now Iran's government said the country was targeting the presence of the US in these countries, and this has included military bases.
We were also asked about what the UK's involvement in the conflict is.
Well, UK Prime Minister Keir Starmer said the country would not be getting directly involved.
However, the fighting has led to thousands of flights being cancelled in the Middle East.
So what the government is doing is working to help UK nationals there return to the UK, including by sending teams out to the region to support people.
Thank you very much, Joe.
So what can listeners do if they want to find out more?
Well, you can find more information about what's going on in the latest issue of the magazine.
And also if you're worried about the news, please talk to a trusted adult about your feelings and visit theweekjuniorcouk forward slash advice.
Brilliant.
Thank you very much, Joe.
Now, Eve, what's another story that you've seen in the news this week?
So a really interesting story on our big news page this week is about a new study that has revealed that humans may have created a form of writing 40000 years earlier than scientists previously thought.
So researchers found this out by looking at 260 Stone Age objects found in caves in southern Germany.
And the objects were made between 43000 and 34000 years ago out of bones deer, antlers and the tusks of woolly mammoths.
And the objects show carvings of animals like bears, lions and mammoths, which were common at the time.
But they are also covered in symbols such as stars, V shapes, lines, crosses and dots.
And after studying more than 3000 of these marks, the researchers believe that they could be an early form of writing, which is amazing.
And, until now, the oldest known writing was thought to have been created about 5300 years ago in an area called Mesopotamia, which is in modern day Iraq.
And scientists don't know what the Stone Age symbols mean, but they think they are more than just doodles.
And one idea is that people use them to track time or follow the life cycles of animals that they were hunting.
And I think Stone Age humans sometimes get a bit of a bad reputation for not being very intelligent when we see them portrayed in, you know, horrible histories and things like that.
But excitingly, the markings suggest that Stone Age humans were as clever and creative as people are today, which I think is really interesting.
That is really interesting.
That's a really cool story.
Thanks, Eve.
Thank you.
Now, moving on, it's time for my favourite part of the show, real or rubbish.
So we're going to bring Eve back in for this because she's going to tell me a story.
I have to guess if it's true or false, fact or fake news.
So go on, Eve, tell me what you got today.
Well, now that the Winter Olympic Games are over, thoughts have already turned to future events.
And, in fact, just a few days after the Winter Olympic Games closing ceremony, The International Olympic Committee, which is called the IOC, announced that a new sport is going to be added to the Winter Olympics in 2030, and it's snowball fighting.
Now, you might be thinking, what?
That sounds crazy.
But organized fights are already held in 13 countries.
And at a recent competition in Japan, there were 118 teams battling out to claim the top prize.
And each team had a flag that the other team then tried to capture.
And there were walls that you could hide behind.
And the IOC has been considering this for a long time to add it to the list of official sports.
And now they've made the decision.
So, Bex, has the IOC really added snowball fighting to their 2030 Winter Olympics lineup?
Or is there snow truth to this story?
You stole my pun.
OK, so here we go.
But how do you figure out who's won a snowball fight?
What's the actual official kind of like, is there a point system?
Do they have to throw at a target?
Do they throw at each other?
Well, because you've got all the walls you've got to hide behind, which I believe are also made of snow.
Although I'm basing that on when I used to play Club Penguin.
But I believe the walls are made from snow.
And the aim is to capture the other team's flag.
So you do that by sort of throwing snowballs at them and then... running over to grab their flag and so do these snowballs have to be perfectly spherical can they just be little mounds of snow that's a really good question vex because i wonder if you would get extra points for having a perfectly spherical snowball um i'm not sure about that actually i think i think it's just about you know making sure that you throw them as quickly as you can at the other team so that you can rush off and get the flag And is it about basically distracting them, getting them to wipe the snow from their faces so you can get the flag from behind that snowy wall?
Yeah, exactly that.
I just feel like that would that be enough of a game to watch?
It doesn't feel like, you know, enough of Jeopardy there.
Well, they're already having organised snowball fights in 13 countries.
And I mean the fact that there was one in Japan with 118 teams.
That sounds pretty impressive, to be honest.
And I would watch that.
Would you not watch that, Bex?
It just feels a bit like organised fun.
It doesn't feel like a sport.
It just feels like you know you could watch it outside your window and see everyone playing outside on the street.
I would argue every sport once started as organized fun.
You know the origins of football.
They were just kicking a ball about and suddenly it became this thing.
That's like taken over the world.
And snowball fighting is such a major part of you know what cultures all around the world do when it's snowing.
So I think it would be a great way to bring countries together for the Winter Olympics.
Oh, I don't know about this one.
Snowball fights just seem a little bit too not sporty enough, in my opinion.
But while I'm thinking about that, let's consider our book of the week.
This week, it's Boy vs. Reality by James Fox.
So here he is to tell us a little bit more about it.
Hello, I'm the author, James Fox, and my new book, Boy vs Reality, is The Week Junior's Book of the Week.
How exciting.
Boy vs. Reality is all about Ethan and his family who have the perfect life online.
Everything Ethan does is posted for their million followers to watch.
But can Ethan persuade his family to focus on the real world?
Well, you'll have to read to find out.
I've been asked who my favourite author was growing up, and there are way too many to name, but I was always a huge Jacqueline Wilson fan.
I really loved how she wrote realistic and hard-hitting stories with loads of humour at their heart.
Boy vs Reality is out now and I hope you enjoy reading.
Oh, Jacqueline Wilson, a great shout.
I know if you'd like to win a copy of Boy vs Reality.
Wait until the end of the show and you can find out how.
Now, Joe, I hear you had a very exciting interview earlier this week.
I did.
I got to interview some of the cast and crew of the new Disney Pixar movie Hoppers.
It's quite a wacky film where the main character Mabel, has her mind transferred into a robotic beaver.
The first interview you'll hear in the following clips is with Dave Franco, who voices Titus the Insect King.
Then there's a clip of an interview with Piper Curder, who voices Mabel, and Bobby Moynihan, who voices King George.
So nice to meet you, Dave.
You too.
You play Titus, the insect king in the movie.
But when I was thinking about what to ask you, the obvious question for me was if you could transfer your consciousness into any animal, what animal would you choose and why?
I think it's an obvious choice for me.
I have two cats.
I got my little girl, Max, and my little boy, Otis.
And it's hard to choose between the two, but I feel like I kind of know what's going on in my girl Max's head.
So, and Otis is a little more complicated.
So I think I'm going into Otis.
I want to know what's going on behind those eyes.
Sometimes he's like, sometimes he's like, I need my love.
He comes and takes that morning love.
And then on a dime, he'll just book it away.
And I'm like, what happened?
I thought we were having a good time.
I love that.
So he's a bit of a mystery and you'd like to understand him a bit more.
And early on in the movie, we see some really lovely scenes of Mabel with her grandma.
Oh, yeah, yeah.
We witness how her grandma helps her to find peace in nature.
And I was wondering if you could go back in time and give some advice to your childhood self.
What would that advice be?
Oh, wow.
You know, I was a really shy kid in middle school.
Do you guys call it middle school?
Yeah.
Uh, junior school, junior school.
Yeah.
So in junior school, I said about like three words out loud.
I was very quiet.
I was very sheltered.
And so I would just tell myself to like It's okay to be silly and have fun and fall on your face and just kind of like It took me a long time to come out of my shell and I would really just kind of encourage myself to be okay with failing.
Okay, I find it a little bit surprising maybe, given your definitely.
I think I opened up towards the end of high school, but I still like, when I got into acting, that wasn't until I was maybe 18 years old and I had never performed in any way, and so I was very nervous for a long time, even when I was performing.
But I loved, I grew up just loving movies, and so I wanted to like find a way into this business, and so it happened to be through acting, and.
But it took me a while to get comfortable with acting too.
Okay.
Yeah.
Thank you.
Mabel goes undercover as a beaver in the film.
How do you guys think you'd fare if you went undercover on a top secret assignment?
Okay.
Oh, terrible.
Yeah, so.
I can't keep my mouth shut.
I'm a horrible liar.
Like awful.
It's so bad.
I'm fantastic.
My mom.
Found out every single time I lied when I was a kid and punished me so bad, which was good of her, but it made me a terrible liar.
Because I just feel so guilty about doing it that you can see it all over my face.
You're like, why do you look like that when you're telling me this thing?
It's I'm so bad at it, which is crazy because everybody's like, well, you're an actor.
You lie for a living.
And I'm like, no, no, no, no, no.
Like that's playing a character.
This is being Piper and having to convince someone of something.
And I can't.
Yeah.
So it wouldn't go well for me.
When I was a kid, I told my mom that I was Superman and I lived inside a watch.
Sure.
And she was like, no, you don't.
I was devastated.
Oh, how dare you?
That is the truth.
You like fodder on that.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
Not the truth.
Yeah.
I'm kind of getting the impression that if you were in the movie you'd probably blurt out you're a robot beaver five minutes in and then sort of roll credits.
Yeah, 100%.
Mine would tip over immediately, and then I would have to ask for help and I would go hey, I'm a human in a robot body and I'm stuck.
I would immediately blurt.
I would immediately tell them and blow it.
It was great fun to meet them all.
You can read more about the film in the magazine, which is out now in cinemas.
Brilliant.
Thanks, Joe.
I want to check it out.
Now it's time for this week's big debate.
And the question is, should in-game ads be banned?
Joe and Eve will go head to head to take a side each on this argument.
But before we hear from them, here's some information you need to know.
ITV has been placing adverts on one side of the screen during matches in the men's Six Nations rugby tournament.
The matches are still shown on the other side of the screen.
The ads appear twice during each game and will appear when there is a break in play, such as before a scrum.
That's when players push together in a group.
It's the first time in-game adverts have appeared in a UK sporting event.
US fans have been seeing them for years.
Former England rugby captain Jamie George said he's not a massive fan of the setup because fans might miss something.
So should in-game ads be banned?
Joe is team yes, Eve is team no.
Each of them will have 60 seconds to make their case, and then I'll make up my mind on who I agree with more.
So let's hear from Joe first, who thinks that in-game ads should be banned.
Joe, I'm going to get the old timer up here.
Whenever you're ready, take it away.
Yeah, so rugby's an exciting, action-packed sport.
There's tough tackles, points scored, nail-biting finishes.
And you don't really want adverts popping up that are going to drag your attention away from what's going on, do you?
I mean, it's just annoying.
You want to be focused on the game.
And that's the point of adverts, right?
They're made to grab attention.
They're made to take you away from the moment, to take you away from what you're doing so that businesses can sell whatever it is that the adverts are putting forward.
So, yeah, it's...
It's all about taking your engagement away from the sport, taking you out of the moment.
And as a sport fan myself, I just think that is never, ever good.
And from the perspective of our listeners, from the perspective of children as well, lots of these adverts are selling things that just aren't appropriate for kids.
They're selling things that kids won't be buying.
So again, if the adverts aren't tailored to everyone, then they shouldn't really be there in the first place.
Oh, you know what?
I got so caught up in the argument, I didn't even notice you went two seconds over, Jo.
That was a very, very well put together argument.
So now it's time for Eve to argue her case.
So Eve, whenever you're ready, go for it.
Well, I think it's worth mentioning that in-game adverts mean that the games can be watched for free, instead of being bought by a channel that charges its viewers to watch them.
And this opens up rugby to a much wider audience and gives as many people as possible the chance to enjoy the sport.
Millions of people watch the Six Nations on TV each year, and ITV has actually spent millions to show some of the matches.
So it needs to make its money back somehow.
And if the way they want to do that is by showing adverts, then I think that's fair enough.
You know, showing two short 20 second adverts during each match is a tiny bit annoying, but it doesn't really ruin the game.
It's on a split screen anyway, so you can still see the game on the other side and follow what's happening.
It's not really the end of the world.
And it's better than having a normal ad break during a match, when you might miss part of the action, which would be really annoying.
I'd say this is the best of both worlds to make sure everyone has free access to watching sports without having to miss bits of it.
Didn't occur to me about getting free access to watch sport.
Yeah, that's interesting.
Okay, so this is where, if you're listening and you've got a big opinion, we need to know about it.
We want you to tell us right now, at theweekjuniorcouk slash polls, what side you're falling down on.
And we also want you to email your thoughts at hello at theweekjuniorcouk or, of course, send us a voice note.
Just go to funkidslivecom.

Grab a grown-up and record your voice.
Your message could be in next week's episode.
Now, in the last big debate, we asked if listening to audiobooks is as good as reading.
So what did our Week Junior listeners and readers vote, Eve?
Well, it was actually quite close this week.
56% said no, it's not as good because they prefer to read a book.
Right.
And Joe, any opinions that people have sent in?
Yeah, yeah, we've had a few.
So one said yes, because you can listen anywhere, at any time, and you can do things like drawing while you listen.
And another said, I think normal books are better because you can see how to spell words.
I did think about that, about the spelling thing.
You do learn how words are put together.
Now, every week, readers of The Week Junior send lots of messages into the inbox to tell us what they've been up to.
We're joined by editorial assistant Kay, who's been reading through them all to share some of the great ones she's seen.
Hello, Kay.
Hello.
We received a lovely voice note from Tamara this week.
Hello, The Week Junior.
My name's Tamara and I'm turning 12 next week.
I wanted to tell you what we've been up to last week.
Last week was the start of Ramadan, so me and my older brother, my older brother and I, were decorating the house.
We made the star with my mother.
We even had our grandparents over on Saturday, and it was really fun.
Also Eve, thank you so much for choosing someone so influential as your Hero of the Week, because I am originally from Sudan and I love the fact that people are waking up to the situation.
Thank you.
And I love your show.
I love you all.
Bye.
Have a nice week.
Oh, Tamara, thank you so much.
That is such a lovely message.
And I'm so glad you loved the story last week.
And happy Ramadan.
And you said you're turning 12 next week.
So happy birthday as well.
And thanks so much for sending your message in.
Oscar sent us a photo of him reading The Week Junior in an igloo in Switzerland.
He said, we took the photo for an extreme reading challenge as part of World Book Day.
It looks really cosy, doesn't it?
I'd imagine you can't really stay there for very long, but he looks really snug.
I'd imagine you can kind of the walls are thick and you can block out all the outside noise and just read in peace.
He might actually be onto something there.
Maybe next time it snows, I'll make my own igloo and set up a little reading camp inside it.
So thanks for the inspiration.
Thanks so much for sending us your messages.
We love hearing what you've been up to.
And don't forget if your voice note is played on the podcast, you're in with a chance of winning a roving reporter badge.
Get in touch with us via hello at theweekjuniorcouk or via our social media accounts.
Thank you very much, Kay.
Now it's time to turn our attention back to the magazine this week and the team's favourite stories.
Joe, who's been your hero of the week?
My hero of the week is Lamin Yamal.
He's the 18-year-old Spanish footballer who plays for Barcelona.
Yamal scored the first hat-trick of his career as his team defeated Villarreal 4-1 in La Liga, which is the top division of Spanish football.
And it seems astonishing to think that he's only 18, as it feels like he's been around for ages, which I suppose indicates how much he's already achieved in his career.
But massive congratulations to him on the hat trick.
And I suspect there are many, many more goals to come.
Brilliant.
Thank you very much, Jo.
Eve, what's been your favourite fact from this week?
So my favourite fact is from our All About page, which is all about Labooboos.
And they're the monster toys from China that I'm sure everyone knows what a Labooboo is that took the world by storm last year.
And you can read loads of fun facts about them on the page.
But when they became really popular last year, sometimes people were accidentally buying fake ones which were called LeFouFous.
And a fact I read in the feature is that real LeBouBous always have nine pointy teeth.
So that can help you to identify whether it's a real or a fake.
Oh, I didn't know that.
Okay, thank you very much for that one.
Something I saw in the magazine this week was the reveal of a very big award.
Now, the Nibbies are a big book award ceremony.
They're the British Book Awards and they've revealed the shortlist for the Best Children's Fiction category.
It includes some books I actually do know quite well.
So they've got Lottie Brooks there by Katie Kirby, Skandar and the Spirit War by A.F.
Stedman, and The Adventures of Rap Kid by M.C.
Grammar.
Now, I don't want to brag to you guys, but...
I've read and interviewed all of those books and those authors, and I think it's a tight category.
So I'm interested to see who's going to win.
So yeah, if you want to find out more about that or any other stories we've been talking about, just check out the magazine.
Now it's time for the moment of truth.
Eve, can you remind me about this week's Real or Rubbish, please?
Yeah, so this is about the International Olympic Committee's decision to to officially add snowball fighting to the 2030 winter olympic games.
Um, and it's a very serious sport that lots of countries play.
Uh, 13 countries hold organized snowball fights and you know it's all about capturing the flag and hiding behind walls.
Um, and bex, i just feel like i need to say that, although you know it might sound a bit ridiculous, I think that you know there are some sports that are a bit silly in the Olympics sometimes.
Well, I know that people bring in new sports all the time in the Olympics and some of there is like a showpiece for one particular games.
To do them so soon in the next one seems quite quick.
I forget where the next ones are.
I did research this the other day, but maybe it's specific to the area that the games are going to be in.
But The idea of a snowball fight as a competition.
It just doesn't seem as prestigious as I would want in my Olympic Games ceremony.
So I'm going to have to say the story this week is rubbish in my opinion.
Shall we do a drumroll?
You're right.
I went too hard at the end to try and convince you.
As I was saying that, I was thinking, what am I doing?
It hasn't been out as a sport just yet, but some promoters are actually trying to convince the committee to make it a reality.
So, Bec, just because you think it's not special enough...
One day it will be.
And I'll be there winning a gold medal.
I enjoyed your story about capturing the flag and everything.
You really did give it some legitimacy there.
So that was a good one, Eve.
Well, to be fair, I think that, you know, people do genuinely play it.
And that was a real story about people playing it.
Oh, right.
Okay.
Yeah, I just feel like it needs to be more to it.
Anyway, it's time for Listen Up the bit of the show that gives you a chance to win a copy of our book of the week, Boy vs Reality by James Fox.
