Hi guys, Ayshah here with your Wednesday afternoon Newsround. | :00:00. | :00:09. | |
Coming up. YouTube cracks down on companies selling fake views. | :00:10. | :00:13. | |
And...the best paper aeroplane you'll ever see. | :00:14. | :00:22. | |
First, a section of one of Britain's main rail routes has been left | :00:23. | :00:25. | |
hanging in the air, after being battered by fierce storms. It | :00:26. | :00:28. | |
happened when the strong wind and rain brought down a section of the | :00:29. | :00:32. | |
sea wall in the south of England. 60 people have been forced to leave | :00:33. | :00:35. | |
their homes for safety after the line in Dawlish, South Devon | :00:36. | :00:39. | |
collapsed. The BBC's John Kay sent this report. | :00:40. | :00:49. | |
Just look at that. Now the tide has receded slightly, you can see how | :00:50. | :00:54. | |
desperately damaged this track is. This is the main route between South | :00:55. | :00:58. | |
Devon and into Cornwall. Just look at the ground work, they have been | :00:59. | :01:06. | |
completely washed away by the tide, just leaving the tide suspended in | :01:07. | :01:11. | |
the air like some kind of theme park ride. | :01:12. | :01:13. | |
Some of you who live in Cornwall have been in touch to tell us the | :01:14. | :01:15. | |
latest storm damage in your Well, now to superstar David Beckham | :01:16. | :01:34. | |
who's just gone and bought himself a football team! Becks has announced | :01:35. | :01:38. | |
he's set to be the proud owner of a Major League soccer team based in | :01:39. | :01:41. | |
Miami in America. It'll be a brand new squad and he's hoping to have a | :01:42. | :01:45. | |
stadium built somewhere in Florida later this year. | :01:46. | :01:48. | |
Next, it's the site where a clip of a cat can get as many hits as the | :01:49. | :01:52. | |
latest Lady Gaga video. YouTube - the video-sharing site used by | :01:53. | :01:57. | |
billions. But not all of those clicks may be genuine and Google, | :01:58. | :02:01. | |
the company who run it, say it's clamping down on users who are | :02:02. | :02:04. | |
buying views to look more popular. Here's Nel with more. | :02:05. | :02:09. | |
We can't get enough of YouTube. Every month more than a billion | :02:10. | :02:12. | |
people visit the site to watch six billion hours of video. Have a viral | :02:13. | :02:16. | |
hit and you could even make money through advertising. But with users | :02:17. | :02:22. | |
adding 100 hours of video to the site every minute, it can be hard to | :02:23. | :02:26. | |
get noticed. That's why some people are buying views. To make their | :02:27. | :02:30. | |
videos look more popular. There are lots of websites that let you buy | :02:31. | :02:34. | |
hits. You hand over real money, and in return get fake views. Most | :02:35. | :02:39. | |
videos have genuine views but the website wants to crack down on those | :02:40. | :02:49. | |
that don't. They say they will check the accounts every so often. What | :02:50. | :02:53. | |
does this mean for the users of the site. You tube say it is not fair if | :02:54. | :03:01. | |
you have faked a user if they find out, they will take those fake trees | :03:02. | :03:05. | |
off or they could go as far as deleting your account. So what is | :03:06. | :03:10. | |
the best way of getting genuine hits we will videos? Funny videos do well | :03:11. | :03:21. | |
on YouTube. Cats make good videos. Google are more than happy to help | :03:22. | :03:25. | |
YouTube users promote their videos - with the site offering online guides | :03:26. | :03:28. | |
on how to get hits. So, it looks like if I'm going to go viral, I'm | :03:29. | :03:32. | |
going to have to get creative. Cricket, and one of the biggest | :03:33. | :03:36. | |
stars of the England game, Kevin Pietersen, has been told he won't | :03:37. | :03:39. | |
play for his country again. Those in charge say they need to rebuild the | :03:40. | :03:43. | |
team after the disastrous Ashes tour of Australia. But not everyone | :03:44. | :03:47. | |
thinks it's the right time to finish Pietersen's career. I don't think | :03:48. | :03:55. | |
this is the moment. I think there is too much going forward. There is a | :03:56. | :03:59. | |
World Cup in 12 months. There is an Ashes series in 16 months and I feel | :04:00. | :04:03. | |
you need the best players. It is the wrong call at the wrong time. | :04:04. | :04:08. | |
Now to some amazing snow sculptures from Japan where the annual Snow | :04:09. | :04:11. | |
Festival has opened its doors. 250 ice sculptures are on display and | :04:12. | :04:15. | |
two million people from all over the world are expected to check out the | :04:16. | :04:19. | |
art work in temperatures of minus 12 degrees celsius. 6000 trucks loads | :04:20. | :04:25. | |
of snow have also been sent in to help keep the ice sculptures looking | :04:26. | :04:28. | |
their best. Finally, what are your paper plane | :04:29. | :04:32. | |
making skills like? Nothing compared to this I bet - check out this giant | :04:33. | :04:37. | |
plane made entirely out of paper - even the inside! It was created by | :04:38. | :04:45. | |
Luca Stewart from San Francisco. It took five and a half years to make. | :04:46. | :04:50. | |
Head over to the website to see our awesome guide on how to make the | :04:51. | :04:53. | |
perfect paper aeroplane. We can't guarantee it will be as good as | :04:54. | :05:00. | |
Luca's though. I'll be back at 7pm. Get making those paper | :05:01. | :05:01. |
