Hi, it's Ayshah here with your Tuesday afternoon Newsround. | 0:00:04 | 0:00:06 | |
Stay tuned because you don't want to miss this. | 0:00:06 | 0:00:09 | |
Catch that snitch - more on plans for a Quidditch Premier League. | 0:00:09 | 0:00:13 | |
And catch that train - why steam power's making a mini-comeback. | 0:00:13 | 0:00:17 | |
He's the world's most popular YouTuber, | 0:00:26 | 0:00:27 | |
with more than 50 million subscribers. | 0:00:27 | 0:00:30 | |
But it's not going too well for PewDiePie right now. | 0:00:30 | 0:00:33 | |
He's been dropped by Disney and, this afternoon, YouTube's told us | 0:00:33 | 0:00:36 | |
it's cancelling the release of the second series | 0:00:36 | 0:00:39 | |
of his show, Scare PewDiePie. | 0:00:39 | 0:00:41 | |
Here's what's going on. | 0:00:41 | 0:00:45 | |
Hey. | 0:00:45 | 0:00:47 | |
He's best known for his gaming and comedy videos. | 0:00:47 | 0:00:50 | |
His sense of humour can be controversial, | 0:00:50 | 0:00:52 | |
but that's what many of his fans like about him. | 0:00:52 | 0:00:55 | |
Yep, you guessed it, we're talking about... | 0:00:55 | 0:00:58 | |
Hey, hows it going, bros? | 0:00:58 | 0:00:59 | |
My name's PewDiePie! | 0:00:59 | 0:01:00 | |
But now a company called Maker Studios, | 0:01:00 | 0:01:02 | |
which is part of Disney, has said it no longer wants | 0:01:02 | 0:01:05 | |
to work with the YouTuber. | 0:01:05 | 0:01:07 | |
It feels he's gone too far in recent videos, | 0:01:07 | 0:01:10 | |
which contain things some people found offensive | 0:01:10 | 0:01:12 | |
because they feel it's anti-Semitic. | 0:01:12 | 0:01:16 | |
Anti-Semitism is when Jewish people are targeted | 0:01:16 | 0:01:19 | |
or bullied because of their beliefs. | 0:01:19 | 0:01:22 | |
Pewdiepie has responded by saying that he does not | 0:01:22 | 0:01:24 | |
support hateful attitudes | 0:01:24 | 0:01:26 | |
and that he didn't mean to offend people. | 0:01:26 | 0:01:29 | |
The YouTuber will continue to make videos for his YouTube channel, | 0:01:29 | 0:01:32 | |
but being dropped by Disney's Maker Studios | 0:01:32 | 0:01:35 | |
is quite a big blow for him. | 0:01:35 | 0:01:38 | |
Thank you, and as always, stay awesomesauce. | 0:01:38 | 0:01:42 | |
Now how about this for a TREE-mendous mistake? | 0:01:42 | 0:01:45 | |
These trees are part of a plan to boost nature | 0:01:45 | 0:01:47 | |
in Aberdeenshire in Scotland. | 0:01:47 | 0:01:49 | |
But the council's apologised after they were planted in the middle | 0:01:49 | 0:01:51 | |
of a local football pitch! | 0:01:51 | 0:01:54 | |
Oh, dear! | 0:01:54 | 0:01:55 | |
I wonder if they are playing tree-a-side? | 0:01:55 | 0:01:58 | |
Something you need more than three-a-side to play is Quidditch. | 0:01:58 | 0:02:01 | |
Get ready to catch that snitch because a UK-wide | 0:02:01 | 0:02:03 | |
Quidditch Premier League is set to start later this year | 0:02:03 | 0:02:07 | |
and try-outs for teams are already taking place. | 0:02:07 | 0:02:12 | |
There are no flying balls, witches and wizards | 0:02:12 | 0:02:14 | |
or broomsticks here. | 0:02:14 | 0:02:16 | |
This is Quidditch. | 0:02:16 | 0:02:18 | |
Confused? | 0:02:18 | 0:02:19 | |
Here are the rules. | 0:02:19 | 0:02:21 | |
There are three chasers and a keeper who are trying | 0:02:21 | 0:02:23 | |
to score with a quaffle, which is a slightly | 0:02:23 | 0:02:25 | |
deflated volleyball, through one of three hoops. | 0:02:25 | 0:02:27 | |
You can score either way through the hoop. | 0:02:27 | 0:02:29 | |
There are two beaters, who are fighting for control | 0:02:29 | 0:02:32 | |
of two of three dodgeballs. | 0:02:32 | 0:02:34 | |
And lastly, there's the seeker, who is trying to catch the snitch, | 0:02:34 | 0:02:36 | |
when the snitch is released onto the pitch | 0:02:36 | 0:02:38 | |
at 17 minutes of game time. | 0:02:38 | 0:02:40 | |
This game is inspired by the sport played by Harry | 0:02:40 | 0:02:42 | |
and his friends in JK Rowling's Harry Potter stories. | 0:02:42 | 0:02:47 | |
It's now played in 25 countries all over the world. | 0:02:47 | 0:02:50 | |
So, what makes a good Quidditch player? | 0:02:50 | 0:02:53 | |
The ability to laugh at yourself is always good. | 0:02:53 | 0:02:56 | |
You can't take it too seriously, because at the end of the day | 0:02:56 | 0:02:59 | |
we are running around with things between our legs. | 0:02:59 | 0:03:01 | |
You've got to be athletic, sometimes games can go | 0:03:01 | 0:03:03 | |
on for over an hour, just running up and down, | 0:03:03 | 0:03:06 | |
sprinting back and forth. | 0:03:06 | 0:03:09 | |
These guys are trying out for a new team that will be playing | 0:03:09 | 0:03:12 | |
in the UK's Quidditch Premier League this summer. | 0:03:12 | 0:03:15 | |
This is a big deal, it's going to be taking the best players | 0:03:15 | 0:03:18 | |
across the country together to form super-teams to play each other | 0:03:18 | 0:03:22 | |
all throughout the summer, leading to a big event | 0:03:22 | 0:03:24 | |
where the champion of the Quidditch Premier League will be crowned. | 0:03:24 | 0:03:29 | |
But why is the game so popular? | 0:03:29 | 0:03:31 | |
It's very open and people are extremely nice. | 0:03:31 | 0:03:34 | |
There's so many different positions, there's something to suit everyone. | 0:03:34 | 0:03:37 | |
Like, I'm not so good at the physical side of it, | 0:03:37 | 0:03:40 | |
I'm not clearly strong in any way. | 0:03:40 | 0:03:43 | |
But I have got a decent throw on me, I can throw quite hard. | 0:03:43 | 0:03:46 | |
With the right players, who knows, these guys just might be able | 0:03:46 | 0:03:49 | |
to magic up a successful season. | 0:03:49 | 0:03:54 | |
Now this might not be the Hogwarts Express, | 0:03:54 | 0:03:56 | |
but it's kind of close... | 0:03:56 | 0:03:57 | |
For the first time in nearly 50 years, | 0:03:57 | 0:03:59 | |
a steam train is running a normal passenger service in the UK. | 0:03:59 | 0:04:04 | |
Train fans are getting to ride the Tornado, | 0:04:04 | 0:04:06 | |
between Skipton in North Yorkshire and Appleby in Cumbria. | 0:04:06 | 0:04:10 | |
It's only for three days though | 0:04:10 | 0:04:11 | |
to celebrate the reopening of the train line. | 0:04:11 | 0:04:16 | |
If steam trains aren't your thing, then here are some more | 0:04:16 | 0:04:18 | |
hi-tech engines. | 0:04:18 | 0:04:20 | |
This is the lawn mower Ice Grand Prix in Finland. | 0:04:20 | 0:04:22 | |
Competitors raced for a whopping 12 hours on a frozen lake. | 0:04:22 | 0:04:26 | |
Temperatures were around -4 degrees Celsius, | 0:04:26 | 0:04:29 | |
so just a bit nippy then! | 0:04:29 | 0:04:33 | |
You can watch more of that lawn mower racing at Newsround online, | 0:04:33 | 0:04:36 | |
where you can also find five facts about the woman | 0:04:36 | 0:04:38 | |
rumoured to be taking over from Mary Berry | 0:04:38 | 0:04:40 | |
on the Great British Bake Off | 0:04:40 | 0:04:42 | |
and discover what fantastic prank astronaut Peggy Whitson played | 0:04:42 | 0:04:46 | |
on the International Space Station | 0:04:46 | 0:04:51 | |
Well, all that's left to say is roses are red, violets are blue, | 0:04:51 | 0:04:54 | |
thanks for watching, and have a great evening too! | 0:04:54 | 0:04:58 | |
On. | 0:04:58 | 0:05:01 |
