Hi, guys, I'm Ayshah, with news of real-life quidditch on Newsround and | :00:00. | :00:23. | |
a bit of this on the way. But first, we've told you loads | :00:24. | :00:26. | |
about Ukraine lately, and today there's been warnings about other | :00:27. | :00:29. | |
countries getting involved in the crisis. US President Barack Obama | :00:30. | :00:34. | |
has told Russia not to interfere. 150,000 Russian troops are currently | :00:35. | :00:37. | |
on high alert on the Ukrainian border, and yesterday one of | :00:38. | :00:39. | |
Ukraine's leading politicians accused them of being behind armed | :00:40. | :00:42. | |
takeovers of two major airports, something Russia denies. Obama says | :00:43. | :00:49. | |
it should be up to Ukrainians themselves to sort things out. | :00:50. | :00:55. | |
Exciting space news next, with the launch of special elite training | :00:56. | :00:58. | |
schemes for young people who want to one day work in the industry. | :00:59. | :01:02. | |
Budding engineers are being given the chance to sign up for the first | :01:03. | :01:05. | |
ever university-level apprenticeship in space training. The Government | :01:06. | :01:10. | |
think the UK space business could be worth ?30 billion in 20 years' time. | :01:11. | :01:16. | |
Now, it's a sport played by witches and wizards in Harry Potter, but now | :01:17. | :01:19. | |
an adapted version of the game has become one of the fastest growing | :01:20. | :01:24. | |
team sports in the UK: I'm talking about quidditch, and I've been | :01:25. | :01:27. | |
checking out how one of Britain's best teams do it. It's fiction into | :01:28. | :01:37. | |
reality, from the pages of Potter to the playing fields of Oxford, one of | :01:38. | :01:41. | |
the top teams in Europe playing the weird and wonderful game of | :01:42. | :01:46. | |
quidditch. The broomsticks raise a lot of eyebrows, but we kind of like | :01:47. | :01:50. | |
them as sort of a handicap, because playing one-handed is what a lot of | :01:51. | :01:53. | |
new peole find difficult. They might not be able to fly, but everything | :01:54. | :01:57. | |
else has been adapted into a real- life game. It's a real sport. | :01:58. | :02:01. | |
There's contact, and it's tactics, and obviously it's a real game! It's | :02:02. | :02:05. | |
kind of rugby and handball combined together, with a broom between your | :02:06. | :02:08. | |
legs. You've got the chasers trying to score with a quaffle, then you've | :02:09. | :02:12. | |
got the bludgers trying to get the chasers out. Then there's the | :02:13. | :02:15. | |
sneakers trying to catch the snitch. So there's three games going on at | :02:16. | :02:18. | |
once. Despite all the confusion, more and more people are playing it. | :02:19. | :02:22. | |
I thought it would be a bunch of strange people, and it's not. That's | :02:23. | :02:26. | |
completely wrong,. I thought I would hate it but I love it. But whatever | :02:27. | :02:33. | |
happens, the game's not over until someone catches the snitch. You end | :02:34. | :02:38. | |
the game by grabbing the ball in a sock carried by them. Sounds simple, | :02:39. | :02:41. | |
but it's not, as the snitch can leave the field and run almost | :02:42. | :02:51. | |
wherever they want. As long as you stay within our boundary, anywhere | :02:52. | :02:57. | |
goes. So in theory, this game can last for a very, very long time. | :02:58. | :03:00. | |
Well, that got us thinking about which sport, real or fictional, | :03:01. | :03:04. | |
you'd like to try out and why. Head over to the Newsround website to let | :03:05. | :03:06. | |
us know. Next to an incredible life-saving | :03:07. | :03:09. | |
operation that saw part of a man's leg re-attached to his arm. It was | :03:10. | :03:13. | |
feared there was nothing doctors could do after Ian McGregor was told | :03:14. | :03:17. | |
he had a large tumour at the top of his leg. But in an 18-hour | :03:18. | :03:20. | |
operation, doctors removed the lower leg, attached it to his arm to keep | :03:21. | :03:24. | |
it growing, removed the tumour and then grafted the muscles back onto | :03:25. | :03:27. | |
the skin. It's believed to be a world first. They said, "We're | :03:28. | :03:33. | |
taking the calf off, implanting it into your right arm so we can keep | :03:34. | :03:40. | |
it alive." I thought,"It's just amazing, what they can do". It's | :03:41. | :03:43. | |
Star Trekky! It's getting into the realms of... Phew! | :03:44. | :03:47. | |
It's one of the most popular programmes on CBBC and yesterday | :03:48. | :03:51. | |
Leanne and Kasey, who play Faith and Bailey in The Dumping Ground, | :03:52. | :03:54. | |
stopped by to have a chat with Leah and answer your questions. This one | :03:55. | :03:58. | |
is from Gavin, who's saying, "Hello, Leanne and Kasey. My question for | :03:59. | :04:02. | |
both of you is: 'If you could be on any other CBBC show apart from The | :04:03. | :04:06. | |
Dumping Ground, which one would it be and why?'" That's such a good | :04:07. | :04:11. | |
question! Ooh, I know. Go on, then, you start. Four O'Clock Club. Yeah, | :04:12. | :04:16. | |
that's a good one, actually. Why, do you think? Because I think that's | :04:17. | :04:20. | |
more... I just really enjoy it a lot. I enjoy it a lot. This is from | :04:21. | :04:24. | |
Catherine. She says, "How long have you been acting for, and how old | :04:25. | :04:28. | |
were you when you started acting?" I've been doing it from a very, very | :04:29. | :04:32. | |
young age, but professionally I'd say the last five, six years. I | :04:33. | :04:37. | |
started when I was 13. I went to an agency not far from where I live. I | :04:38. | :04:42. | |
go in, and I got signed with the agency. I was 14. It just kicked off | :04:43. | :04:46. | |
from there, really. This is from Max in Southampton. He says, "Is it hard | :04:47. | :04:50. | |
making the episodes at all?" With acting, people think it's easy. It's | :04:51. | :04:53. | |
not really easy when you have to wake up about five o'clock, four | :04:54. | :04:57. | |
thirty, and you go till lunchtime and you finish about seven o'clock | :04:58. | :05:04. | |
sometimes. It is quite demanding. You have to really love it and you | :05:05. | :05:08. | |
have to be really, really passionate about it. | :05:09. | :05:10. | |
Finally, we reckon these were the funniest pictures of the week: a BBC | :05:11. | :05:13. | |
news reporter disappearing from view during an interview live on telly. | :05:14. | :05:18. | |
It's had over three million hits online, and now the reporter has | :05:19. | :05:22. | |
been explaining how it happened. This is the camera that had the | :05:23. | :05:26. | |
technical fault that caused it to tilt upwards towards the ceiling, | :05:27. | :05:29. | |
which gave the impression that I'd sunk down in my chair. This is the | :05:30. | :05:38. | |
chair I was sitting on, and as you can see, there are no levers to make | :05:39. | :05:42. | |
it drop and there is definitely no sinkhole. So, why did the picture | :05:43. | :05:46. | |
behind me stay still? Well, it's because we use a special screen, and | :05:47. | :05:49. | |
this camera superimposes that image behind me. It's as simple as that. | :05:50. | :05:57. | |
There you go! We're back just before two. I'll see you then. | :05:58. | :05:59. |
