what's on the way: A special service to remember the victims of the | :00:11. | :00:17. | |
Glasgow helicopter crash. PS4 versus Xbox One - two Newsround | :00:18. | :00:21. | |
viewers put the consoles to the test. | :00:22. | :00:23. | |
And it's the festive first of December, you've been sending us | :00:24. | :00:26. | |
your Christmas tree pics! This is Newsround. | :00:27. | :00:32. | |
Let's start in Scotland where this morning a service was held at | :00:33. | :00:35. | |
Glasgow Cathedral to remember the victims of Friday night's helicopter | :00:36. | :00:38. | |
crash in the city. Hundreds of people packed out the cathedral | :00:39. | :00:41. | |
where special prayers were said and hymns were sung. Eight people died | :00:42. | :00:47. | |
and 14 are still in hospital after a police helicopter crashed into the | :00:48. | :00:51. | |
roof of a pub in the city centre. An investigation's started to find out | :00:52. | :00:54. | |
why it happened. People have been laying flowers at the scene. Nicola | :00:55. | :00:57. | |
Sturgeon, Scotland's Deputy First Minister, was at the cathedral this | :00:58. | :01:06. | |
morning. The service, a very poignant service. I think it was | :01:07. | :01:11. | |
important that the service took place this morning. Everyone in | :01:12. | :01:16. | |
Glasgow wants to do something to let those who have been mostly affected | :01:17. | :01:21. | |
by this tragedy that we are thinking of them and supporting them and | :01:22. | :01:25. | |
although we cannot imagine the grief and loss they are suffering, they | :01:26. | :01:27. | |
are not alone. To Thailand now where riot police | :01:28. | :01:30. | |
have been trying to stop protesters forcing their way into the Prime | :01:31. | :01:33. | |
Minister's office and the police headquarters. Thousands of troops | :01:34. | :01:36. | |
helped police protect key buildings in the capital city, Bangkok, from | :01:37. | :01:39. | |
being overtaken by the protesters who are angry with how the Prime | :01:40. | :01:44. | |
Minister is running the country. They're using tear gas and water | :01:45. | :01:47. | |
cannons to move them on. Yesterday, two people were killed and dozens | :01:48. | :01:50. | |
injured when pro and anti-government groups clashed. Today is the eighth | :01:51. | :01:55. | |
day of protests. The BBC's Jonathan Head is right by the main government | :01:56. | :02:04. | |
building in Bangkok. The police are sending out very strict warnings | :02:05. | :02:06. | |
saying that today you will sending out very strict warnings | :02:07. | :02:12. | |
week we have seen riots by the protesters fighting the police. The | :02:13. | :02:17. | |
protesters are still hold up against the wall, it is a stalemate and at | :02:18. | :02:21. | |
the moment no one knows how to break it. | :02:22. | :02:23. | |
Next, a ban on certain chemicals which some people think are harmful | :02:24. | :02:26. | |
to bees has come into effect across the European Union. The ban, which | :02:27. | :02:30. | |
the UK had opposed, will last for two years. The chemicals are used to | :02:31. | :02:33. | |
keep bugs away from plants. Although some people say there isn't enough | :02:34. | :02:36. | |
evidence to prove the chemicals are harmful to bees, there are still big | :02:37. | :02:40. | |
worries that numbers of the insects are falling. | :02:41. | :02:44. | |
The battle of the next generation consoles is well and truly on. | :02:45. | :02:47. | |
Sony's PlayStation 4 was released on Friday, a week after Microsoft | :02:48. | :02:50. | |
released their Xbox One. Both the gaming giants want their console to | :02:51. | :02:53. | |
be number one by Christmas. But which one, if any, would you choose? | :02:54. | :03:04. | |
Two consuls, two rival games companies, so how do they compare? | :03:05. | :03:09. | |
The Xbox One wants to be the main box in your living room. You can use | :03:10. | :03:14. | |
it to watch TV, go online and go and make video calls. It comes with an | :03:15. | :03:18. | |
updated connect sensor that can identify faces, even in the dark and | :03:19. | :03:25. | |
has better voice recognition. But it is ?100 more expensive than its | :03:26. | :03:29. | |
rival the PS4. Sony have confident their consul as the one dedicated | :03:30. | :03:35. | |
gamers will want. PS4 has a new controller with an optical motion | :03:36. | :03:39. | |
controller, similar to the PlayStation three. It packs a little | :03:40. | :03:45. | |
more graphics punch than the Xbox soldier games will probably look | :03:46. | :03:49. | |
crisper. It is important because both companies have staked millions | :03:50. | :03:54. | |
of pounds upon this battle. What do you guys think? We got to Newsround | :03:55. | :03:59. | |
viewers to check this out. We're going to test out both consuls. We | :04:00. | :04:07. | |
are both really excited. I think | :04:08. | :04:09. | |
are both really excited. feels more realistic. The one bad | :04:10. | :04:17. | |
thing and would say about the Xbox One is that the controller is too | :04:18. | :04:24. | |
sensitive. I prefer the PS4 because the games are better, they are more | :04:25. | :04:29. | |
adventurous and mysterious. So, pretty much split down the middle, | :04:30. | :04:33. | |
but there is one thing for sure, with Microsoft and Sony it is game | :04:34. | :04:35. | |
on. Now to a Christmas tree that'll need | :04:36. | :04:39. | |
a whole load of tinsel. This huge fir tree has arrived by horse and | :04:40. | :04:43. | |
carriage at the White House. You could fit a serious amount of | :04:44. | :04:47. | |
presents under that! It was greeted by First Lady Michelle Obama, her | :04:48. | :04:50. | |
two daughters Malia and Sasha and their two dogs, Bo and Sunny. Mrs | :04:51. | :04:57. | |
Obama seemed pretty pleased with it! So what did you think? We love it. | :04:58. | :05:05. | |
OK, we will keep it! Well, like the Obamas, you lot have | :05:06. | :05:08. | |
been getting into the Christmas spirit too. You've wasted no time | :05:09. | :05:11. | |
getting those trees decorated and you've been sending your pictures to | :05:12. | :05:13. | |
the Newsround website. Isabella and Max have sent us this | :05:14. | :05:17. | |
snap of their neatly-decorated tree. Mickey will be the envy of | :05:18. | :05:19. | |
Manchester with his brightly-coloured lights. But my | :05:20. | :05:24. | |
favourite is Amber's tree. Can you see her cat peeping out from the | :05:25. | :05:30. | |
branches? Very Christmassy! And have you clocked the date? | :05:31. | :05:34. | |
Course you have. It's first December which means the Newsround advent | :05:35. | :05:39. | |
calendar is open! There's no chocolate, but every day you'll find | :05:40. | :05:42. | |
a fab picture from one of the year's top stories behind the window on the | :05:43. | :05:49. | |
Newsround website. So get online to check out today's pic. That's all | :05:50. | :05:52. | |
from the Newsround team for today. Ricky will be here in the morning. | :05:53. | :05:55. | |
Have a great afternoon. Bye! | :05:56. | :06:01. |
