Hi, I'm Leah with your Newsround update. | 0:00:01 | 0:00:03 | |
Coming up, why England should watch out for Neymar in Brazil. | 0:00:03 | 0:00:07 | |
And the bear caught chilling in a hammock. | 0:00:07 | 0:00:13 | |
First this morning. | 0:00:13 | 0:00:15 | |
People in Syria are voting in a presidential election today. | 0:00:15 | 0:00:19 | |
It comes as the country is locked in a civil war, which has been going | 0:00:19 | 0:00:23 | |
on for three years. | 0:00:23 | 0:00:26 | |
President Assad's forces are fighting opposition groups who don't | 0:00:26 | 0:00:29 | |
want him in power any more but he is widely expected to be | 0:00:30 | 0:00:34 | |
voted in again. | 0:00:34 | 0:00:35 | |
The BBC's Jeremy Bowen is in the Syrian capital of Damascus | 0:00:35 | 0:00:38 | |
and has sent this report. | 0:00:38 | 0:00:39 | |
This is the heart of the old city of Damascus, and wherever you look | 0:00:39 | 0:00:43 | |
at the moment, there are images of President Bashar al-Assad. | 0:00:43 | 0:00:47 | |
There are thousands, literally, and that is because of the election. | 0:00:47 | 0:00:52 | |
There are a couple of ways of looking at this election. | 0:00:52 | 0:00:56 | |
There is the view you get from the opposition, and from Western | 0:00:56 | 0:01:01 | |
countries and critics of the regime. | 0:01:01 | 0:01:04 | |
And that is that it is a sham, but it is a bad joke. | 0:01:04 | 0:01:10 | |
The question asked is, how can you hope to have a fair election in a | 0:01:10 | 0:01:14 | |
country that is having a Civil War? | 0:01:14 | 0:01:16 | |
There is a defence against the arguments you hear in Damascus. | 0:01:16 | 0:01:22 | |
And it is that this election is a beginning, the first time since the | 0:01:22 | 0:01:39 | |
50s where there have been three faces on the ballot paper, not just | 0:01:39 | 0:01:42 | |
one. | 0:01:42 | 0:01:43 | |
The regime here thinks it is on the way to winning the war. | 0:01:43 | 0:01:46 | |
And it is giving off much more confidence than it used to as a | 0:01:46 | 0:01:50 | |
result of that feeling that it has. | 0:01:50 | 0:01:52 | |
The clean up has begun after a huge sandstorm caused | 0:01:52 | 0:01:55 | |
by record winds damaged large parts of Iran's capital city. | 0:01:55 | 0:01:57 | |
At least four people have been killed after the unusual weather | 0:01:57 | 0:02:00 | |
struck Tehran yesterday. | 0:02:00 | 0:02:01 | |
Tens of thousands of people were left without electricity | 0:02:01 | 0:02:03 | |
as power lines were knocked down. | 0:02:03 | 0:02:05 | |
The fire department is now helping to clean up the damage left | 0:02:05 | 0:02:09 | |
by the storm. | 0:02:09 | 0:02:09 | |
Next to the amazing story of the US soldier, held hostage in Afghanistan | 0:02:09 | 0:02:13 | |
for nearly five years, who has been freed. | 0:02:13 | 0:02:15 | |
Sergeant Bowe Bergdahl was released at the weekend in exchange | 0:02:15 | 0:02:18 | |
for five senior Taliban members who were being held as prisoners | 0:02:18 | 0:02:21 | |
by the American government. | 0:02:21 | 0:02:22 | |
Bowe now has to begin his life as a free man but how do you deal | 0:02:22 | 0:02:26 | |
with such an extreme experience? | 0:02:26 | 0:02:28 | |
Ricky has the story. | 0:02:28 | 0:02:29 | |
Sergeant Bowe has missed birthdays, holidays and simple moments with | 0:02:29 | 0:02:31 | |
family and friends. | 0:02:31 | 0:02:32 | |
But while he was gone, he was never forgotten. | 0:02:32 | 0:02:37 | |
Yellow ribbons decorate the streets of Hayley in Idaho, Bowe | 0:02:37 | 0:02:42 | |
Bergdahl's hometown, placed there by residents to show the world that | 0:02:42 | 0:02:47 | |
he was in their thoughts every day. | 0:02:47 | 0:02:50 | |
This weekend they have been replaced by balloons to celebrate | 0:02:50 | 0:02:53 | |
his release. | 0:02:53 | 0:02:53 | |
He had been working as a soldier in the US Army during | 0:02:53 | 0:02:56 | |
the Afghanistan war when he was captured on June 30th, 2009. | 0:02:56 | 0:02:59 | |
He was held hostage for five years. | 0:02:59 | 0:03:02 | |
Being placed in a stressful situation, over such a | 0:03:02 | 0:03:05 | |
long time, can have a huge effect. | 0:03:05 | 0:03:08 | |
One man who understands what he's going through is Terry Waite. | 0:03:08 | 0:03:11 | |
He was held hostage for five years by militants | 0:03:11 | 0:03:14 | |
in Lebanon 25 years ago. | 0:03:14 | 0:03:18 | |
It will be a strange experience to come back | 0:03:18 | 0:03:23 | |
into a world that has changed, and being reunited eventually with his | 0:03:23 | 0:03:26 | |
family who will also have changed. | 0:03:26 | 0:03:29 | |
He's going to need time to come to terms with that. | 0:03:29 | 0:03:35 | |
Bowe Bergdahl cannot go straight home with his family just yet. | 0:03:35 | 0:03:38 | |
After such a traumatic experience, he needs medical help to deal with | 0:03:38 | 0:03:42 | |
what has happened. | 0:03:42 | 0:03:43 | |
Right now, he's staying at a military hospital. | 0:03:43 | 0:03:46 | |
It is very wise to be able to talk to a trained listener when you come | 0:03:46 | 0:03:52 | |
out, to be able to manage it rather than the experience managing you. | 0:03:52 | 0:03:55 | |
That is the secret. | 0:03:55 | 0:03:57 | |
Get on it right away. | 0:03:57 | 0:04:01 | |
And then you will be fine. | 0:04:01 | 0:04:03 | |
The family will never forget this weekend, but | 0:04:03 | 0:04:05 | |
as the US soldier walks away from a life held captive, a tough | 0:04:05 | 0:04:09 | |
journey of recovery lies ahead. | 0:04:09 | 0:04:14 | |
We all know how England don't like penalties. | 0:04:14 | 0:04:18 | |
Let's hope they don't end up facing a shoot-out against Brazil | 0:04:18 | 0:04:21 | |
and Neymar. | 0:04:21 | 0:04:22 | |
Take a look at this. | 0:04:22 | 0:04:23 | |
The Barcelona star sends the keeper the wrong way in training | 0:04:23 | 0:04:26 | |
with this little bit of magic. | 0:04:26 | 0:04:28 | |
Let's have another look. | 0:04:28 | 0:04:29 | |
Somehow I don't think Roy Hodgson will be instructing his England | 0:04:29 | 0:04:32 | |
players to try the same. | 0:04:32 | 0:04:33 | |
And now to the wild bear caught relaxing | 0:04:33 | 0:04:35 | |
in a hammock in Florida in America. | 0:04:35 | 0:04:37 | |
The black bear was spotted relaxing for at least 20 minutes. | 0:04:37 | 0:04:46 | |
After the chill out session, it went and wondered off. | 0:04:46 | 0:04:49 | |
It's thought the creature was in the neighbourhood searching for food. | 0:04:49 | 0:04:51 | |
Since then local people have removed their trash bins. | 0:04:51 | 0:04:54 | |
That's all from me. | 0:04:54 | 0:04:55 | |
