10/04/2012 Newsround

Afternoon, everybody. Ore here, flying the Newsround flag solo. But

it's OK, because I've got you for company. Thanks for dropping by! We

are live, it's just after five, and here's what we've got on the way.

I'll give you the lowdown on the very latest space race.

And, we'll tell you all about the new game that's good for your eyes.

But first up, the reason I'm flying solo today is because Hayley has

been in Southampton. That's because it's exactly 100 years since the

cruise liner Titanic set sail from the port on its first and last

journey. One of the world's largest and grandest ships, it was also

thought to be one of the safest, but sank after hitting an iceberg

five days later. Hundreds of children have taken to the streets

of the south-coast city to commemorate the sinking of the ship.

They carried pictures of the 1,500 people who died in the tragedy.

Children from around the area have been remembering those who died.

With me, William and Henry. You have got a special relation to

somebody on the ship. Great uncle George was a fireman on the Titanic.

He shuffled call. What was it like for him? A bit scary when it was

sinking, because he jumped off on lifeboat number nine. Is it

important we keep remembering the Titanic? Yes, to remember all the

people who died, and to celebrate And as part of the ceremonies today,

a new museum has been opened in the port. The SeaCity museum has

special displays on the Titanic and the people who died when the ship

sank. Many of the crew came from Southampton, in fact over 700, but

only 176 of them returned. Hayley's been talking to one of the curators

from SeaCity and asked him how the people of the city were feeling

today. It is a day of mourning, and a lot

of people are remembering their relatives two died. White is it so

important we keep on remembering it? It is such as huge disaster, it

is so important we understand why it happened, so it does not happen

again. And on Thursday, Blue Peter will

have a special programme about the Titanic from the new Titanic museum

in Belfast. That's at 5:45pm on CBBC. In the meantime, if you can't

wait until then, check out our Titanic quiz on the website.

Next to Syria, where it looks like a deadline to end the violence will

be missed. Government troops had agreed to stop fighting in cities

like Homs by today. But so far, there are no signs that's happening,

and it seems the situation's even getting worse. Yesterday was one of

the most violent days since the uprising began in the country last

year. Over the past few weeks, we've been

telling you about the race to the deepest part of the ocean and the

battle to build the world's fastest car. Well, now there's another

fierce contest brewing - this time, in space. Two American rocket

companies are fighting to become the first private business to get

vital supplies to the International Space Station, potentially changing

space travel for good. Check this out.

For over 50 years, NASA has been blasting rockets and their

astronauts into space. But since the retirement of their Space

Shuttle programme last year, the Americans have been looking for

other ways to get vital tools and supplies to the International Space

Station. And they're hoping to find the answers on a tiny island off

the east coast of America. In this huge hangar, a private rocket

company called Orbital are putting the final touches to a spacecraft

capable of reaching the International Space Station. If

they prove they can, they'll not only win multi-billion-pound

contracts, but they could change the face of US space exploration.

But they're not alone. Rival company SpaceX have already

successfully launched their Falcon 9 rocket and Dragon capsule into

orbit, and safely returned it to Earth in a test run. And Orbital's

Vice President reckons it's starting to feel a like a race.

They started the development of their system a year and a half

before us, but we are almost neck- and-neck. This animation shows how

the Orbital rocket will dock with the ISS. At the moment, the real

capsule stands in this clean room. The makers claim it will provide a

much cheaper way to get into space, and one expert believes that's

exactly what a cash-strapped NASA needs. What I would like to see

happen is the competition between the two firms spurring some

technical breakthroughs that result in lower costs for getting into

space. Builders are now putting the final touches to the site where the

rocket will eventually launch, and it's here that the future of

American space travel may change forever.

If you've been to London recently, you might have noticed this, the

Shard. It's Europe's tallest building, and it's almost finished.

These pictures from the top have been taken by a group of intruders

who broke into the site. The owners say it could have been very

dangerous indeed. Understandably, security has now been tightened.

It's the world's biggest lottery win, worth almost �400 million. And

now, a third person's come forward to take a share of the rollover

Maryland lottery in the US. We won't find out how they're going to

spend the cash, as they've chosen to keep their identity a secret.

Don't blame them! If you're used to adults telling

you to stop gaming because you'll hurt your eyes, this may come as a

surprise. Eye specialists in Glasgow have developed a video game

with a twist, and the kids who use it are encouraged to play on it as

much as they can! Your parents tell you GPs spend too

much time playing video games, but a top specialist has come up with a

game that helps tackle I, I problems in kids. The more you play,

the better you get. This game helps rewire brains and help children

like Hallam. He has a lazy eye, and he has spent a week wearing these

goggles. It when he plays, one of his eyes sees the screen clearer

than the other, which forces the bat warned to work harder. It was

so bad, it led to him falling over, but after a week, the results were

already starting to show. He was not conscious of his sight

improving, but he could find things quicker. He could read easier.

is usually treated with a patch, but he knows which he prefers.

eyelids sometimes got caught in the eye patch, you have to take it off

and then close your eye. In tests, These goggles corrected fission

within 10 days. Researchers hope the equipment can be used to

correct problems suffered later on in life.

How's this for an unusual outing? 40 runners gathered in the North

Pole to run a marathon! They competed by running a course around

an Arctic research station, braving temperatures of minus 26 to run a
