Hi there. I'm Martin with everything you need to know this afternoon

:00:00.:00:00.

including, how good's your christmas tree? And why an internet prank

:00:07.:00:10.

could wreck your Xbox. First to the news that six people

:00:11.:00:21.

have been questioned by police as part of investigations into claims

:00:22.:00:25.

of football match-fixing. Police have not named the six people

:00:26.:00:28.

involved yet and five of them have been released on police bail.

:00:29.:00:31.

Blackburn Rovers Football Club confirmed today that their player DJ

:00:32.:00:36.

Campbell has been arrested. Dudley Jones, or DJ for short, used to play

:00:37.:00:39.

for Premier League sides Birmingham, Queens Park Rangers and Blackpool.

:00:40.:00:44.

His arrest comes after reports that ex-Portsmouth player Sam Sodje told

:00:45.:00:47.

an undercover journalist he could arrange for players to be sent off

:00:48.:00:52.

in exchange for money. The National Crime Agency is now working with the

:00:53.:00:55.

Football Association and other organisations to look into these

:00:56.:00:59.

claims. So what exactly is match fixing? We asked the BBC's sports

:01:00.:01:08.

correspondent Andy Swiss to explain. One of the reasons we love sport is

:01:09.:01:11.

because it is unpredictable. We don't know what's going to happen

:01:12.:01:16.

next, but with match fixing, players agreed to fix a match in the term

:01:17.:01:20.

for money. It doesn't have to be the whole result. It could be a small

:01:21.:01:23.

detail like a throw in or a yellow card. The reason that a significant

:01:24.:01:27.

is because around the world, people can bet on these tiny details and

:01:28.:01:35.

win a huge amount of money. Next to Ukraine. One of the biggest

:01:36.:01:38.

countries in Eastern Europe. Hundreds of riot police were today

:01:39.:01:41.

out on the streets of the capital city Kiev after two weeks of mass

:01:42.:01:44.

demonstrations against the government. The country is divided

:01:45.:01:47.

between people who want Ukraine to have closer ties with Europe and

:01:48.:01:51.

those who want it to stay close to Russia. As police begin to dismantle

:01:52.:01:54.

the protest camps, President Viktor Yanukovych has backed calls for

:01:55.:01:57.

talks to try to ease the crisis. Here's Nel to explain what it's all

:01:58.:02:00.

about. Hundreds of thousands of protesters packed the central square

:02:01.:02:05.

in Kiev. They shouted "Freedom!" And sang the Ukrainian national anthem.

:02:06.:02:10.

And called for President Yanukovych to resign. They are angry because

:02:11.:02:15.

the government decided not to sign a deal with the European Union which

:02:16.:02:18.

would give Ukraine closer ties with Europe. Something they believe would

:02:19.:02:24.

give Ukrainians better lives. But the President, and many other

:02:25.:02:27.

Ukranians, want to keep close to Russia, and think signing an EU deal

:02:28.:02:32.

would put this at risk. This has caused a lot of tension. It's all

:02:33.:02:37.

because Ukraine used to be part of the Soviet Union, a group of states

:02:38.:02:41.

ruled from Moscow, in Russia. In 1991, the Soviet Union broke up and

:02:42.:02:45.

Ukraine became a country in its own right. Since then there has been a

:02:46.:02:51.

tug of war over what should happen to it. The BBC's Steve Rosenberg has

:02:52.:02:59.

been at the latest protests. What is happening here tonight shows that

:03:00.:03:04.

there are divisions in Ukraine. These are the supporters of

:03:05.:03:08.

President Yanukovych, and here is the line of riot police and over the

:03:09.:03:10.

other side, anti-government protesters. On Sunday, protesters

:03:11.:03:14.

pulled down this statue of Russian revolutionary Lenin. Protesters are

:03:15.:03:17.

now occupying key government buildings. Tomorrow President

:03:18.:03:21.

Yanukovych will meet three former presidents of the Ukraine to try and

:03:22.:03:25.

find an agreement that will bring an end to the unrest. Next the UK

:03:26.:03:32.

parliament suspended its work today to to pay tribute to South Africa's

:03:33.:03:35.

first black president Nelson Mandela. Mandela, who was one of the

:03:36.:03:39.

world's most respected leaders, died last Thursday at the age of 95.

:03:40.:03:43.

Millions of South Africans took part in a day of prayer yesterday. And

:03:44.:03:47.

more and more people have been gathering outside Mandela's home in

:03:48.:03:51.

Soweto. A national memorial service will be held in South Africa

:03:52.:03:58.

tomorrow. Head to our website for more on why Nelson Mandela was such

:03:59.:04:01.

an important figure to people all over the world. Microsoft are

:04:02.:04:05.

warning Xbox One owners not to fall for a prank that could break their

:04:06.:04:09.

console. A message posted online told gamers they could get the new

:04:10.:04:13.

Xbox One console to play the old Xbox 360 games if they input a

:04:14.:04:19.

sequence of codes and ID numbers. But the tech giant said people who

:04:20.:04:23.

try this risks bricking their Xboxes which means they won't start up

:04:24.:04:33.

properly. Now public Christmas trees. Not every town is happy with

:04:34.:04:37.

what they've got. This one is Clacton in Essex was nicknamed the

:04:38.:04:39.

Christmas Twig! People complained and they got this. A much better

:04:40.:04:43.

tree. There was also campaign against this one in Cotgrave in

:04:44.:04:46.

Nottinghamshire. Newsround wants to see if your tree at home is better

:04:47.:04:50.

than some of the public ones. Why not send us a picture of your

:04:51.:04:54.

household tree? It might make it onto our website. That's it.

:04:55.:04:58.

Newsround's back at 6.50pm.
