文字稿

Russia's been celebrating 55 years since Yuri Gagarin became the world's first spaceman. It was an historic moment and a triumph for the Soviet space programme at the height of the Cold War. Today astronauts are constantly in orbit on the International Space Station. Some of them did a live link-up with earth to mark the anniversary.

俄罗斯正在举行55周年宇航员纪念日活动，庆祝尤里·加加林成为世界上第一名太空飞行员。那是一个历史性的时刻，也是冷战巅峰时期苏联太空计划的一个丰功伟绩。如今，宇航员们不断进入轨道上的国际空间站。有些宇航员还进行了现场连线直播以示纪念。

Take a look at how a baby wallaby is winning hearts across the internet. Here he is, popping his head out of his mother's pouch for the first time. The joey, from just south of Sydney, was born the size of a jellybean and spent six months inside his mother, Lily's, pouch. He has another three months until he emerges fully and becomes more independent.
