Hi guys. | 0:00:03 | 0:00:03 | |
Welcome to the week with me Ricky and some of this on the way. | 0:00:03 | 0:00:07 | |
How magic is being used to treat these children. | 0:00:07 | 0:00:11 | |
Plus what happened when these people got stuck on a rollercoaster. | 0:00:11 | 0:00:15 | |
It's Newsround. | 0:00:15 | 0:00:18 | |
But first to Gaza, in the Middle East, where Israel | 0:00:21 | 0:00:27 | |
and the Palestinian militant group Hamas have again agreed to stop | 0:00:27 | 0:00:30 | |
fighting for another three days. | 0:00:30 | 0:00:32 | |
The 72-hour ceasefire to allow more aid into the area was agreed | 0:00:32 | 0:00:35 | |
after tense talks over the weekend. | 0:00:35 | 0:00:37 | |
This is the second time they've agreed to a break in fighitng that's | 0:00:37 | 0:00:40 | |
been going on for more than a month. | 0:00:40 | 0:00:42 | |
Yolanda Knell is in Gaza and for the BBC. | 0:00:42 | 0:00:46 | |
So far we've had no reports of any breaches to | 0:00:46 | 0:00:49 | |
the ceasefire since it came into force at midnight local time. | 0:00:49 | 0:00:53 | |
And what I can see around me now, some signs that Gaza city is coming | 0:00:53 | 0:00:56 | |
back into more of a normal state. | 0:00:56 | 0:00:59 | |
We have got cars honking on the roads below and this morning | 0:00:59 | 0:01:02 | |
we have seen fishermen going out to see although sticking very close. | 0:01:02 | 0:01:09 | |
And remember you can find out all about the full history | 0:01:09 | 0:01:11 | |
of the conflict, and how it's affecting both sides, | 0:01:11 | 0:01:13 | |
on the Newsround wesbite. | 0:01:13 | 0:01:16 | |
In other news the after effects of what was Hurricane Bertha are | 0:01:16 | 0:01:19 | |
still being felt in the UK today. | 0:01:19 | 0:01:21 | |
At the weekend a mini tornado brought down trees | 0:01:21 | 0:01:23 | |
and damaged cars and there were huge hail stones in Hampshire too. | 0:01:23 | 0:01:27 | |
But there's warnings there could be more floods in the north | 0:01:27 | 0:01:30 | |
and south-west of England, Wales and Scotland today. | 0:01:30 | 0:01:33 | |
The weather's been caused by Bertha, which hit the Caribbean last week | 0:01:33 | 0:01:36 | |
before weakening and moving across the Atlantic Ocean. | 0:01:36 | 0:01:39 | |
But if you live somewhere that was lucky enough to miss the bad weather | 0:01:39 | 0:01:43 | |
then you might have seen this spectacular supermoon last night. | 0:01:43 | 0:01:46 | |
The moon appeared bigger and brighter than normal because | 0:01:46 | 0:01:48 | |
of how close it was to the earth. | 0:01:48 | 0:01:51 | |
Some people also caught a glimpse of an amazing meteor shower | 0:01:51 | 0:01:54 | |
from the Perseid comet too. | 0:01:54 | 0:01:56 | |
Now magic has been fascinating us for centuries | 0:01:56 | 0:01:59 | |
but now there's claims that it could be used to help treat kids with | 0:01:59 | 0:02:03 | |
a certain medical condition. | 0:02:03 | 0:02:04 | |
A summer camp for kids with something called Hemiphligia's even | 0:02:04 | 0:02:08 | |
called in celebrity magician Dynamo to help them out, and Leah went | 0:02:08 | 0:02:11 | |
along to find out more. | 0:02:11 | 0:02:15 | |
Please welcome Dynamo. | 0:02:15 | 0:02:18 | |
First class magician Dynamo surprising children on | 0:02:18 | 0:02:20 | |
the last day of their summer camp. | 0:02:20 | 0:02:25 | |
They have a condition, one of the most common forms of cerebral palsy. | 0:02:25 | 0:02:30 | |
Muscle weakness on one side of the body sometimes caused | 0:02:30 | 0:02:33 | |
by brain injury or illness makes movement difficult. | 0:02:33 | 0:02:41 | |
Children living with the condition, it can be frustrating. | 0:02:41 | 0:02:48 | |
The things we do every day like getting dressed or pouring | 0:02:48 | 0:02:50 | |
a drink can be almost impossible for young people with this. | 0:02:50 | 0:02:53 | |
Researchers at this innovative project here in | 0:02:53 | 0:02:56 | |
London say magic has significantly increased their ability to carry out | 0:02:56 | 0:02:58 | |
everyday tasks by themselves. | 0:02:58 | 0:03:01 | |
Dynamo says it's important that children have fun with their magic. | 0:03:01 | 0:03:11 | |
I've given them cards to shuffle, giving them magic skills | 0:03:11 | 0:03:13 | |
for them to learn, they forget that they are exercising their muscles, | 0:03:13 | 0:03:16 | |
so it's a nice way of getting them to do exercises but they still have | 0:03:16 | 0:03:19 | |
fun at the same time. | 0:03:19 | 0:03:36 | |
Take a trick like this, a sponge ball trick, it involves a sequence | 0:03:36 | 0:03:40 | |
of | 0:03:40 | 0:03:40 | |
counting from one to 10 and doing different movements with your hands. | 0:03:40 | 0:03:43 | |
For children with this, they can have quite tightfisted | 0:03:43 | 0:03:45 | |
hands, so getting their hand flat on the table is quite tricky for them. | 0:03:45 | 0:03:48 | |
Through the repetitious movements you need to practice magic, | 0:03:48 | 0:03:50 | |
it's working on developing the strength and skills in their | 0:03:50 | 0:03:58 | |
affected hand. Researchers say before attending the camp, | 0:03:58 | 0:04:00 | |
children | 0:04:00 | 0:04:01 | |
can only perform 25% of activities. | 0:04:01 | 0:04:02 | |
On their own using both hands. | 0:04:02 | 0:04:04 | |
And it seems a little that of magic goes a long way as 10 days | 0:04:04 | 0:04:07 | |
later, 93% of children completed their tasks with both hands. | 0:04:07 | 0:04:10 | |
It's made me feel actually quite excited. | 0:04:10 | 0:04:11 | |
It's my first time here and I'm really enjoying it. | 0:04:11 | 0:04:14 | |
I liked seeing dynamo. | 0:04:14 | 0:04:14 | |
Experts say a mix of magic and practical skills provide | 0:04:14 | 0:04:17 | |
children with the confidence they need to grab life with both hands. | 0:04:17 | 0:04:20 | |
Dynamo, before we go, can we do a magic trick? | 0:04:20 | 0:04:22 | |
I think we should disappear. | 0:04:22 | 0:04:23 | |
OK. | 0:04:23 | 0:04:26 | |
It was a big day of sport so to catch up with how Arsenal | 0:04:26 | 0:04:30 | |
beat Manchester City in the Community Shield and | 0:04:30 | 0:04:31 | |
Rory McIlroy won his fourth golf major head to our website now. | 0:04:31 | 0:04:36 | |
Firefighters have rescued 24 people who got stuck on a roller coaster | 0:04:36 | 0:04:39 | |
in America. | 0:04:39 | 0:04:41 | |
The Jokers' Jinx ride at the Six Flags theme park in Maryland | 0:04:41 | 0:04:44 | |
broke down, leaving those on board stranded for | 0:04:44 | 0:04:46 | |
around five hours near the highest point of the roller coaster. | 0:04:46 | 0:04:49 | |
Rescuers offered the riders umbrellas to protect them | 0:04:49 | 0:04:52 | |
from the sunlight. | 0:04:52 | 0:04:52 | |
Luckily, no one was seriously hurt. | 0:04:52 | 0:04:57 | |
That's all from me, Newsround's back right here in about half an hour. | 0:04:57 | 0:05:00 |
