Ayshah here with news of a mysterious footy curse. | :00:00. | :00:00. | |
Plus the fond farewell between this astronaut and his robot friend. | :00:00. | :00:09. | |
But first to a debate on whether you should be allowed to take | :00:10. | :00:24. | |
calculators into your maths tests. Thousands | :00:25. | :00:27. | |
of years six kids are preparing for sat exams in the subject today. | :00:28. | :00:32. | |
They will be the first to face new rules banning the use of | :00:33. | :00:35. | |
calculators for some maths papers. The Government says it will improve | :00:36. | :00:38. | |
standards, but experts from three top universities say it | :00:39. | :00:40. | |
is a backward step. We want to know what you think about | :00:41. | :00:43. | |
this on the Newsround website. Lots of people hoping to get a | :00:44. | :00:58. | |
glimpse of the Commonwealth games action in Glasgow were disappointed | :00:59. | :01:01. | |
last night after the ticketing system was shut down. The last | :01:02. | :01:10. | |
100,000 tickets went on sale on Monday, but the organisers were | :01:11. | :01:15. | |
forced to close the sales website because the system could not cope | :01:16. | :01:19. | |
with the demand. Like many others over the last couple of days this | :01:20. | :01:23. | |
lady has been patiently trying to get hold of tickets for this's | :01:24. | :01:31. | |
games. They should have given consideration to people who were | :01:32. | :01:35. | |
trying to get these few golden tickets. It is frustrating because | :01:36. | :01:40. | |
you are so enthusiastic and you cannot get access to it. After a | :01:41. | :01:47. | |
series of complaints the organisers acted. They decided to close the | :01:48. | :01:53. | |
website and phone line until the technical problems can be fixed. We | :01:54. | :01:59. | |
are getting great demand and the system is not coping and we are | :02:00. | :02:03. | |
going to tackle the issue and reopen it as quick as possible. Most people | :02:04. | :02:10. | |
will have to wait until the site is back up and running before they can | :02:11. | :02:15. | |
try again. Organisers say they don't yet know when that will be. | :02:16. | :02:21. | |
Next claims that a 500-year-old shipwreck belonging to history as | :02:22. | :02:26. | |
one of history's most famous explorers may be under the sea. An | :02:27. | :02:33. | |
underwater investigator says he has unearthed the wreck of Christopher | :02:34. | :02:38. | |
Columbus' trip which sank when he was exploring the Caribbean in | :02:39. | :02:41. | |
1492. All football fans have felt like | :02:42. | :02:46. | |
their team is cursed, but for the supporters of Benfica it could be | :02:47. | :02:52. | |
true. They play against Seville in the Europa league final tonight | :02:53. | :02:55. | |
hoping to end a serious run of bad luck. | :02:56. | :03:02. | |
Benfica, one of the most prestigious clubs in the world with a record 33 | :03:03. | :03:09. | |
league titles to its name. Their fans are used to celebrating. But | :03:10. | :03:15. | |
when it comes to European football it is a completely different story. | :03:16. | :03:21. | |
They have been in seven European cup finals and lost every single one. | :03:22. | :03:27. | |
How can the most successful club in Portuguese history have such a bad | :03:28. | :03:33. | |
record in European competitions? Some believe their bad run is down | :03:34. | :03:38. | |
to a 100-year-old curse made by a former manager. The curse is when | :03:39. | :03:45. | |
Benfica won the second European cup they did not renew the contract of | :03:46. | :03:51. | |
their manager. He was furious and legend has it that he put a curse on | :03:52. | :03:56. | |
Benfica and he said in the next 100 years they would never win another | :03:57. | :04:02. | |
European trophy. So far it has been more than 50 years since they last | :04:03. | :04:09. | |
won a trophy, but Benfica, or the Eagles, though into this final as | :04:10. | :04:15. | |
favourites. They are fresh and their minds are lighter than last year. | :04:16. | :04:21. | |
This year they have more chance to succeed. Benfica seemed to be in | :04:22. | :04:27. | |
good shape on the pitch, so can they win it this time, or will the | :04:28. | :04:31. | |
legendary curs stop the Eagles soar to victory again? | :04:32. | :04:36. | |
Now to a fond farewell to this little, talking robot who has been | :04:37. | :04:43. | |
keeping astronauts company on the International Space Station. The | :04:44. | :04:46. | |
Japanese astronaut had to say goodbye to his robotic friend before | :04:47. | :04:52. | |
he returned to Earth. It got a bit emotional, but the robot returns to | :04:53. | :04:55. | |
earth himself at the end of the year. We are back in half an hour. | :04:56. | :05:17. | |
..and lows of Dragons - Riders Of Berk. | :05:18. | :05:27. | |
The Slammer is back with tons of glittering acts. | :05:28. | :05:30. |
