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.
