Newsround. On the way this Thursday. The kids and the comedian on a | :00:14. | :00:17. | |
mission to Downing Street. And why Bieber could be about to shoot for | :00:17. | :00:23. | |
the stars. But first to another day of violence in Syria. This morning | :00:23. | :00:26. | |
anti-government rebel groups took control of a check point near the | :00:26. | :00:28. | |
border with Israel, only for government forces to overrun it | :00:28. | :00:33. | |
later in the day. Tanks were used in raids on the area called the Golan | :00:33. | :00:38. | |
Heights. It comes the day after the army won a significant battle for an | :00:38. | :00:43. | |
important place called Qusair. Aid agencies say people there urgently | :00:43. | :00:46. | |
need help and supplies. I've been looking at the toll the battle's had | :00:46. | :00:56. | |
:00:56. | :00:57. | ||
on the town. This is what a city destroyed by war looks like. Homes | :00:57. | :01:03. | |
and shops are produced to Russell 's -- rubble. After weeks of intense | :01:03. | :01:07. | |
battle between rebel fighters and government forces. -- Homes and | :01:07. | :01:10. | |
shops reduced to rubble. The streets deserted. Most people have either | :01:10. | :01:13. | |
run away or been killed. BBC correspondent Lyse Doucet was the | :01:13. | :01:15. | |
first western journalist to arrive in Qusair after the Syrian | :01:15. | :01:21. | |
government's army ended the battle by wrestling back control. This is | :01:21. | :01:24. | |
what victory sounds like in Qusair. The guns being fired in celebration. | :01:24. | :01:27. | |
The cars blaring their horns as they clog the central square. The Syrian | :01:27. | :01:31. | |
army is declaring victory but at what a price. Qusair is now | :01:31. | :01:36. | |
destroyed. Qusair is a small place, but important to both sides because | :01:36. | :01:39. | |
of where it is. It's close to neighbouring country Lebanon, | :01:39. | :01:42. | |
meaning whoever controls it can get vital supplies like weapons into | :01:42. | :01:48. | |
Syria more easily. But for those trapped here there are few links to | :01:48. | :01:51. | |
the outside world. Aid agencies say ordinary people are in desperate | :01:51. | :01:56. | |
need of food, water and medical help. Those who can are leaving, | :01:56. | :02:05. | |
split over who they support and who they blame. | :02:05. | :02:09. | |
TRANSLATION: I thank God and the Syrian army that my family is now | :02:09. | :02:13. | |
safe. But look at your city, it's gone, it's destroyed. I blame the | :02:13. | :02:16. | |
rebels for my plight. They killed my brother. They killed children | :02:16. | :02:21. | |
because we support the government. The battle for Qusair may be over | :02:21. | :02:24. | |
for now. But the rebels say they'll be back and the war in Syria | :02:24. | :02:30. | |
continues. And there will be a full programme looking at Syria and the | :02:30. | :02:36. | |
role other countries are playing in the conflict at 6.55pm on Newsround. | :02:36. | :02:39. | |
Next up,100 school pupils descended on Downing Street today in an | :02:39. | :02:42. | |
attempt to tackle world hunger, and they had a little help from a | :02:42. | :02:48. | |
celebrity supporter. Britain's Got Talent judge David Walliams | :02:48. | :02:51. | |
accompanied the gang of kids who presented the Prime Minister David | :02:51. | :02:53. | |
Cameron with a special petition asking the government to make | :02:53. | :02:57. | |
addressing the issue a priority. The Enough Food For Everyone If campaign | :02:57. | :03:00. | |
wants to raise awareness about how food that gets thrown away every | :03:00. | :03:07. | |
year could be used to feed starving people in the world. We have come | :03:07. | :03:15. | |
here today to stop world hunger. have come to make the point clear | :03:15. | :03:19. | |
about her serious world hunger can be. We have come to persuade the | :03:19. | :03:23. | |
government, to take it to the G8 meeting, to show how critical the | :03:23. | :03:31. | |
crisis can be. Next to the monster shark catch that's making waves in | :03:31. | :03:33. | |
America. A professional fisherman has got himself in hot water with | :03:33. | :03:36. | |
conservationists after capturing an 11-foot long, 8-foot wide Mako shark | :03:36. | :03:39. | |
which he thinks is a world record breaker. Rather than releasing the | :03:39. | :03:42. | |
shark, he's kept it. But animal rights group say it's wrong because | :03:42. | :03:49. | |
shark numbers are already under threat. Now ever wondered what a | :03:49. | :03:51. | |
55-million-year-old monkey would look like? Well, there you go. | :03:51. | :03:54. | |
Scientists in China have used ancient fossils to recreate the | :03:54. | :03:58. | |
archicebus. They used inprints of its bones found last year to build a | :03:58. | :04:00. | |
genetic picture that helps to explain more about how humans | :04:00. | :04:08. | |
evolved. They reckon it ate insects, lived in trees and was hyperactive. | :04:09. | :04:13. | |
Not too similar to me then. Now this guy might be used to mingling with | :04:13. | :04:16. | |
the stars, but soon he'll literally be among them. Watch out for the | :04:16. | :04:18. | |
flashes coming up. That's right. Justin Bieber's confirmed he's off | :04:18. | :04:21. | |
into the stratosphere as one of the first passengers on a commercial | :04:21. | :04:25. | |
space flight. He's likely to take off next year and could be joined by | :04:25. | :04:27. | |
Leonardo DiCaprio and Ashton Kutcher. Always said that guy was | :04:27. | :04:31. | |
out of this world. And sticking with the stars, Little Mix have made a | :04:31. | :04:34. | |
little bit of history in America. Their album DNA went in at number | :04:34. | :04:38. | |
four in the US charts. It's the highest chart debut a UK girl band | :04:38. | :04:41. | |
has ever had. It sold more than 50,000 copies in its first week over | :04:41. | :04:50. | |
there. And finally to the 102-year-old base jumping granny. | :04:50. | :04:53. |
