Afternoon, guys. Martin here with some of this on the way: Why a big | :00:00. | :00:13. | |
ban on games consoles has finally been lifted in China. | :00:14. | :00:16. | |
And we look into the pressures of being a high-profile footy boss. | :00:17. | :00:21. | |
But first, playing games on a PlayStation, XBOX or other console | :00:22. | :00:25. | |
is something you can do every day in the UK if you want. But did you know | :00:26. | :00:30. | |
that in China consoles like that have been banned by the Government | :00:31. | :00:33. | |
for 14 years because they thought they were harmful to young people? | :00:34. | :00:38. | |
Now they've decided to lift that ban. China's ??DNWRD Government has | :00:39. | :00:42. | |
a long history of keeping tight controls over people who live there. | :00:43. | :00:46. | |
Ricky's been looking into what it could mean. | :00:47. | :00:53. | |
Unlike the UK, people in China don't get to vote for who they want to be | :00:54. | :01:02. | |
in charge. The country is ruled by the Communist Party, a huge | :01:03. | :01:04. | |
organisation with more than 80 million members. The party has | :01:05. | :01:07. | |
strict rules on what children learn at school, what they watch on TV and | :01:08. | :01:11. | |
even what they can do online. They censor some websites and search | :01:12. | :01:14. | |
results - access to Facebook and Twitter is restricted - and in the | :01:15. | :01:18. | |
year 2000, the government said it was banning foreign games consoles | :01:19. | :01:21. | |
to protect young people's mental health. Now, after 14 years, the | :01:22. | :01:23. | |
console ban has been lifted. Something that could be pretty | :01:24. | :01:28. | |
significant. And not just for gamer.s Because of the console ban, | :01:29. | :01:30. | |
most gamers in China play on China is becoming more liberal is | :01:31. | :01:44. | |
another question. A lot of the games that will be sold will still be | :01:45. | :01:51. | |
subject to Government censorship. Because of the band, most games are | :01:52. | :01:57. | |
played in China on the PC. One of last year's biggest hits was this | :01:58. | :02:01. | |
Army training game made by the Chinese Government. But even with | :02:02. | :02:03. | |
games consoles given the green light, this new freedom will come | :02:04. | :02:07. | |
with government says it will inspect them before they go on sale. The | :02:08. | :02:10. | |
lifting of the ban is also temporary at the moment, so consoles could be | :02:11. | :02:14. | |
banned again in the future. So while allowing foreign consoles to be sold | :02:15. | :02:17. | |
in China may be good news for gamers, it's unlikely to be a sign | :02:18. | :02:21. | |
that there are big changes coming for the country as a whole. | :02:22. | :02:24. | |
In other news, the charity ChildLine say there's been a big rise in the | :02:25. | :02:28. | |
number of children contacting them about being bullied online. The | :02:29. | :02:31. | |
people behind the free advice line say in 2011 and 12 around 2,500 kids | :02:32. | :02:35. | |
asked them for help and counselling, but in the last 12 months that's | :02:36. | :02:39. | |
increased to more than 4,500. They say the numbers reporting racist | :02:40. | :02:43. | |
bullying has also increased. The rise is partly down to more kids | :02:44. | :02:46. | |
having smartphones and tablets for bullies to contact them on. The | :02:47. | :02:50. | |
charity also says that, for the first time ever, they've carried out | :02:51. | :02:53. | |
more counselling online than on the phone. | :02:54. | :02:57. | |
And for more help and advice about bullying head over to the Newsround | :02:58. | :03:00. | |
website USA Elsewhere, America's continuing to cope with record low | :03:01. | :03:02. | |
temperatures. about when the 2022 Football World | :03:03. | :03:17. | |
Cup in Qatar will take place, today. This morning, the General Secretary | :03:18. | :03:21. | |
of FIFA - the organisation that runs world football - said it definitely | :03:22. | :03:24. | |
wouldn't be in summer because it's too hot, and would take place in | :03:25. | :03:27. | |
November or January instead. But this afternoon his bosses said no | :03:28. | :03:30. | |
official decision will be made until later this year. | :03:31. | :03:33. | |
Back home, there's mounting pressure on David Moyes after Manchester | :03:34. | :03:36. | |
United lost the first leg of their Capital One Cup semifinal last night | :03:37. | :03:39. | |
to the Premier League's bottom club,Sunderland. It's another | :03:40. | :03:41. | |
disappointment in a difficult first season at the club, so I've been | :03:42. | :03:44. | |
looking into the different kind of pressures top football bosses like | :03:45. | :03:50. | |
Moyes face. It should have been a dream job. But | :03:51. | :03:57. | |
for David Moyes, it has turned into a bit of a nightmare. It is a very | :03:58. | :04:03. | |
different kind of pressure from what he has been used to. For Everton, | :04:04. | :04:09. | |
coming fifth or sixth with it a great result. Manchester United | :04:10. | :04:14. | |
expect to win this trophy every year. But the same can't be said for | :04:15. | :04:18. | |
the fate of other Premier League managers. Already, six of them have | :04:19. | :04:22. | |
been replaced since the start of the season. So what makes a club sap the | :04:23. | :04:32. | |
boss? It is all really about money. Staying in the Premier League is so | :04:33. | :04:37. | |
important. If there is any threat of relegation, the owners of the club, | :04:38. | :04:44. | |
who is the boss of the manager, they will think, let's get something new | :04:45. | :04:51. | |
in. Soap weather at the top or the bottom, it seems there is one thing | :04:52. | :04:54. | |
all managers have in common, the pressure. | :04:55. | :05:01. | |
That is all from me. Find out on the | :05:02. | :05:02. |
