And finally, you might be pleased that the weekend's around the corner, but one man is so
keen to learn, he's going back to university at the age of 100! Bholaram Das has signed up to
do a two year PhD course at university in India. Bholaram says he's wanted to head back to
uni for the last 70 years, but he never quite got around to it!

Hi there, I'm Ricky from the BBC World News for Children. It's Friday the 22nd of October.
Coming up:
We've got massive news about Wayne Rooney.
And how melting ice caps are causing storms.
But first, to Haiti where a disease has killed at least one hundred and thirty five people.
Officials are worried that it could be cholera - an illness that can be deadly and is passed on
through food and water. Following the earthquake in Haiti, lots of people live in camps, where
the conditions can be crowded and unhygienic. Experts think if the disease reaches those
areas, it could travel quickly. The World Health Organisation is working to stop it spreading,
their spokesperson Gregory Hartl says people need to be educated about the disease...
CLIP: "People will probably not be very familiar with what to do, in terms of both recognising
the symptoms and where to go for treatment, and also how to prevent it from spreading. So,
there are big challenges at the moment in Haiti."

More news now and weather experts think that snow storms in the US and Europe are being
caused by rising temperatures in the Arctic. It might sound strange that warmer weather in
one place leads to colder weather in another. But as the Arctic warms up, the atmosphere
above it becomes a little more unstable. The result of this is a change in the wind direction,
which during last winter caused cold air to flood south into North America and Europe, causing
storms.

Next up, most of you probably have to wear a uniform to school, but is it just a waste of
time? Well, we thought we'd put it to the test. We got one class to ditch their green uniforms
for a week and wear their own clothes instead. So how did they get on? I went along to find
out...
CLIP: "It's gone really good. I feel much more relaxed in class. It seems so much brighter and
more colourful in class." "I think that the behaviour has gone down. Like, everyone keeps
mucking about."

Well, the teacher wasn't that impressed either, but what do you reckon? let us know on the
Newsround website.
