    BtN: Episode 6 Transcript 11/3/14 Coming up Parent’s versus kids: Who's more addicted to screen-time at home? Find out how much sugar you're sipping without even knowing it. And we meet some of Australia's gun athletes competing at the winter Paralympics. Hey, I'm Nathan and, of course, this is BtN. That stuff will all be up a bit later on. But first, there's some big news about a plane crash to hear about in the wire. The Wire A Malaysia airlines flight carrying six Australians has gone missing. The plane was carrying 239 people when it disappeared on its way from Kuala Lumpur to Beijing. It lost contact with air traffic controllers without reporting any problems. Lots of planes and ships have been sent to the area, including two Australian Air Force planes. So far an oil slick and what looks like debris have been spotted. Authorities are looking into what might have happened. ******* There's still plenty going on in Ukraine. Most of it centred around an area called Crimea. Last week, Russia sent troops there. Now the Crimean parliament's decided it wants to become part of Russia. But it's up to the people to vote on it this weekend. All of this is making the new Ukrainian government angry. It says Crimea is part of Ukraine and it's not going to give it up. ******* And how would you like to get paid to eat your veggies? Over in the US kids are getting around 25 cents a day to eat their greens.
