More details come out about Michael Jackson's death

 

Dutch girl may be stopped from sailing solo around the world 

 

And Liverpool manager, Benitez, criticises Stephen Gerrard 

 

First up - an investigation into Michael Jackson's death has found that he had lethal levels of a powerful pain killer in his body when he died. Apparently he was given the drugs because he found it hard to sleep. They're usually used in hospitals to put people under anaesthetic when they have operations. The police are still trying to work out if anyone is to blame for Michael's death. His friend, Uri Geller, says he's not surprised by the finding.....

Now to Mexico where there's a big argument over what primary school pupils are learning in history class. Some people are angry because a new history textbook doesn't say anything about Spain taking over Mexico in the 1500's. Hundreds of thousands of native Mexicans were killed by the Spanish during this period. Some think the government left this out on purpose, but the government say the Spanish conquest is not ignored, it's just studied later at secondary school. 

 

Now to Kenya, in east Africa, where a big survey of the population is underway. Governments use censuses to figure out what problems the country is facing. They look at things such as education and life expectancy. But one question in this survey is causing upset. It asks: What tribe are you from? This is a very sensitive issue in Kenya. Around a thousand people died in fighting between different tribes after the last presidential elections. Some people think politicians will use the census to find out where their tribal support is, and then make sure those people get the best services.... But feelings in Nairobi are mixed....

Now to Greece where the worst of the wildfires are now said to be under control. Thousands of acres of land north of the capital, Athens, were destroyed in the blazes that have been raging for days. No-one was killed or seriously injured in the fires but thousands of residents were forced to flee their homes and it's feared the loss of woodland will have a bad effect on the city, which already suffers from air pollution.

 

Next up, a 13 year old Dutch girl who wants to sail around the world on her own, may be stopped by social services. Laura Dekker has been given permission by her parents to make the voyage but the Dutch authorities don't think she should - they want the state to take temporary custody of her so that her parents lose the right to make decisions about her.

 

Some footy now and in the English Premier League things aren't going well for Liverpool. They've now lost the same number of games in their first three matches as they lost in the whole of last season. Liverpool manager Rafa Benitez says Gerrard and the club's other senior players must improve to have any chance of lifting the title this season...

And today's question is all about Liverpool football club. We want to know the name of their home stadium? And now for the answer to yesterday's question. We asked who invented cheer-leading? And the answer is.... A man called Thomas Peebles introduced the idea of organized crowd cheering at football in 1898. 

 

OK, that's all from the World News for Children team. We'll be back with more top stories tomorrow.
