Good morning, guys. Leah here this Wednesday, live with your very

:00:00.:00:08.

latest Newsround. Coming up: Why freezing temperatures made an

:00:09.:00:11.

escaped prisoner decide to go back to jail.

:00:12.:00:16.

And the first glimpse of what the new Doctor looks like all dressed

:00:17.:00:25.

up. Keep watching! But first we're talking about how

:00:26.:00:29.

many of you have had experiences of cyber bullying. The charity

:00:30.:00:33.

Childline say that over the past year the number of young people

:00:34.:00:36.

contacting them with worries of being targeted online has nearly

:00:37.:00:40.

doubled. More than 5,500 kids contacted them last year. They say

:00:41.:00:43.

the increase is partly down to more kids having smartphones and tablets.

:00:44.:00:53.

Children nowadays... If they went to the bedroom, their parents used to

:00:54.:00:58.

know they were safe. That is not the case any more. Now children can be

:00:59.:01:02.

reached 24 hours a day through smartphones, tablets and devices

:01:03.:01:07.

that are not necessarily in the family room.

:01:08.:01:14.

Next, a US military helicopter has crashed on the Norfolk coast. It

:01:15.:01:17.

happened last night when the aircraft was carrying out a low

:01:18.:01:20.

flying training exercise. Emergency services say four people have been

:01:21.:01:23.

killed and an investigation into what caused the crash has begun.

:01:24.:01:33.

Next, peace talks aimed at ending weeks of violence in South Sudan are

:01:34.:01:37.

continuing today. It's one of the world's newest countries, having

:01:38.:01:39.

only been created two years ago. It was hoped its independence from

:01:40.:01:43.

Sudan would bring peace to an area that had endured decades of war. But

:01:44.:01:46.

that's not been the case. Fighting between the government and rebel

:01:47.:01:49.

groups broke out just before Christmas, and there are fears the

:01:50.:01:52.

country could descend into all out civil war.

:01:53.:02:02.

South Sudan gained independence from Sudan in 2011 after a war which

:02:03.:02:06.

lasted decades and killed 1.5 million people. But today the men

:02:07.:02:12.

that fought for their country's independents are now fighting each

:02:13.:02:16.

other. In July, the country's President Putin is -- accused his

:02:17.:02:24.

deputy of trying to seize power. Now the sides are fighting to control

:02:25.:02:29.

the country's oilfield, which are worth a lot of money. The

:02:30.:02:33.

international community fears the world's newest country is on the

:02:34.:02:38.

brink of civil war. This is where the fiercest fighting is taking

:02:39.:02:42.

place. Villages are empty as people flee their homes in the. Estimates

:02:43.:02:50.

are that there are 200,000 displaced people who have moved away from the

:02:51.:02:55.

violence. Probably 60% of those are children. Even before the fighting

:02:56.:03:00.

started, South Sudan had a lot of problems. Although the country has

:03:01.:03:04.

lots of oil, most people are poor. One in three have no access to

:03:05.:03:09.

drinking water. One in every seven children will die before their fifth

:03:10.:03:13.

birthday. However, there is some hope the crisis can be resolved.

:03:14.:03:18.

After weeks of uncertainty, the two sides have begun to face discussions

:03:19.:03:24.

for the first time. There are hopes the talks will provide a peaceful

:03:25.:03:28.

solution soon. In America, there's been no let up

:03:29.:03:32.

in the cold weather. Now all 50 US states are experiencing freezing

:03:33.:03:34.

temperatures, including New York, Georgia, and Tennessee. It was minus

:03:35.:03:38.

17 degrees Celsius in the small town of Hell, in Michigan. Weather

:03:39.:03:41.

experts say they expect things to get better soon with temperatures

:03:42.:03:44.

starting to rise in the coming days, although in Kentucky an escaped

:03:45.:03:47.

prisoner turned himself in to get out of the cold!

:03:48.:03:49.

Sport, and Manchester United suffered their third defeat in a row

:03:50.:03:53.

for the first time in 14 years last night. A Ryan Giggs own goal set

:03:54.:03:58.

them on the way to a 2-1 defeat to Sunderland in the first leg of their

:03:59.:04:01.

Capital One Cup semifinal. Nemanya Vidic had pulled it back to 1-1, but

:04:02.:04:05.

a controversial penalty for Sunderland gave them the win and got

:04:06.:04:08.

United boss David Moyes rather upset. How could the linesman give

:04:09.:04:20.

that from where he was standing? He would have to see through the

:04:21.:04:24.

defender to give the decision. Can't believe it.

:04:25.:04:28.

And he might have won Strictly Come Dancing during his break from the

:04:29.:04:31.

sport, but gymnast Louis Smith's announced he's making a comeback for

:04:32.:04:34.

the Commonwealth Games in Glasgow this summer. The three-time Olympic

:04:35.:04:38.

medallist has decided to put off his retirement in order to compete.

:04:39.:04:42.

Finally, the first images of the new Doctor have been released. You can

:04:43.:04:45.

head over to our website now to see more on the look Peter Capaldi's

:04:46.:04:49.

gone for when he takes over the TARDIS later this year.

:04:50.:04:54.

That's all from me. Newsround's back right here in about half an hour.
