Hey, it's Ayshah, live with Newsround online and on TV this | 0:00:04 | 0:00:07 | |
Wednesday afternoon. | 0:00:07 | 0:00:09 | |
Keep watching to find out how T-Rex grew into a fearsome monster. | 0:00:09 | 0:00:13 | |
And the tiny mighty robots that are strong enough to pull a car! | 0:00:13 | 0:00:17 | |
First this afternoon to Syria in the Middle East, | 0:00:26 | 0:00:29 | |
where there's hope for peace, five years after the civil | 0:00:29 | 0:00:31 | |
war first started. | 0:00:31 | 0:00:33 | |
Russia has announced that it's sending home fighter planes | 0:00:33 | 0:00:36 | |
from the country, which many people think is positive step. | 0:00:36 | 0:00:36 | |
The BBC's Geneva Correspondent, Imogen Foulkes, explains what this | 0:00:40 | 0:00:42 | |
means for peace talks happening in Switzerland right now. | 0:00:42 | 0:00:48 | |
Another round of Syrian peace talks is taking place | 0:00:48 | 0:00:51 | |
here in Geneva in Switzerland. | 0:00:51 | 0:00:54 | |
Today also coincides with the fifth anniversary of the start | 0:00:54 | 0:00:57 | |
of the Syrian conflict. | 0:00:57 | 0:01:00 | |
For five long years, there has been fighting and bombing. | 0:01:00 | 0:01:04 | |
250,000 people have been killed. | 0:01:04 | 0:01:07 | |
Even schools and hospitals have been attacked. | 0:01:07 | 0:01:11 | |
Millions of men, women and children have had to flee their homes, | 0:01:11 | 0:01:15 | |
and thousands are trying to find safety in Europe. | 0:01:15 | 0:01:20 | |
And there have been many rounds of peace talks here in Geneva, | 0:01:20 | 0:01:23 | |
and they have all failed - until now, when we think | 0:01:23 | 0:01:26 | |
there is perhaps some faint progress. | 0:01:26 | 0:01:32 | |
And that's because Russia has announced it will withdraw | 0:01:32 | 0:01:34 | |
its military from Syria. | 0:01:34 | 0:01:38 | |
Russia had been bombing what it said were Islamic extremist | 0:01:38 | 0:01:41 | |
groups in Syria. | 0:01:41 | 0:01:44 | |
But other countries said what Russia was really doing was bombing | 0:01:44 | 0:01:52 | |
all the opposition in a bid to keep Syria's current president, | 0:01:52 | 0:01:55 | |
Bashar al-Assad, in power. | 0:01:55 | 0:01:56 | |
Now that's all going to change. | 0:01:56 | 0:01:59 | |
The Syrian opposition and UN negotiators have welcomed Russia's | 0:01:59 | 0:02:02 | |
move as a positive start. | 0:02:02 | 0:02:06 | |
There will be more talks today, and the focus will be on peace, | 0:02:06 | 0:02:11 | |
and finally, elections, so that the Syrian people can | 0:02:11 | 0:02:13 | |
at last choose the government they really want. | 0:02:13 | 0:02:18 | |
Thanks Imogen. | 0:02:19 | 0:02:20 | |
Children living in Syria have also been explaining what life | 0:02:20 | 0:02:22 | |
is like for them. | 0:02:22 | 0:02:25 | |
Head online if you want to know more about what's been | 0:03:08 | 0:03:11 | |
happening in Syria. | 0:03:11 | 0:03:12 | |
And if anything in the news upsets you, there's lots of advice online, | 0:03:12 | 0:03:15 | |
too. | 0:03:15 | 0:03:16 | |
Fossils revealing how T-Rex became a fearsome dinosaur have been found | 0:03:18 | 0:03:20 | |
in Uzebekistan in Central Asia. | 0:03:20 | 0:03:24 | |
The new species of Tyrannosaur helps show how these dinosaurs evolved | 0:03:24 | 0:03:27 | |
into giant monsters. | 0:03:27 | 0:03:30 | |
The BBC's Science Reporter, Victoria Gill, sent Newsround this | 0:03:30 | 0:03:32 | |
report. | 0:03:32 | 0:03:33 | |
So, this is it here, some of the fossils, | 0:03:36 | 0:03:38 | |
not all of them, but the ones we have here. | 0:03:38 | 0:03:40 | |
A small box for a dinosaur? | 0:03:40 | 0:03:41 | |
A small box. | 0:03:41 | 0:03:42 | |
What we have inside are two of the bits. | 0:03:42 | 0:03:45 | |
Can I hold it? | 0:03:45 | 0:03:46 | |
Yeah, of course. | 0:03:46 | 0:03:47 | |
There you are. | 0:03:47 | 0:03:48 | |
Be careful, of course. | 0:03:48 | 0:03:49 | |
90 million years old. | 0:03:49 | 0:03:50 | |
There's only one of them. | 0:03:50 | 0:03:51 | |
Amazing. | 0:03:51 | 0:03:52 | |
It's a totally new species of Tyrannosaurus, it is called | 0:03:52 | 0:03:54 | |
Timurlengia. | 0:03:54 | 0:03:58 | |
Way back in the Jurassic period, Tyrannosaurus weren't a whole lot | 0:03:58 | 0:04:00 | |
bigger than me. | 0:04:00 | 0:04:03 | |
Tyrannosaurus stayed that way - human-sized, dog-size, | 0:04:03 | 0:04:04 | |
a little bit bigger, until about this time, | 0:04:04 | 0:04:09 | |
90 million years ago or so, when they started to very suddenly | 0:04:09 | 0:04:12 | |
get huge and become dominant, and go right to the top | 0:04:12 | 0:04:15 | |
of the food chain. | 0:04:15 | 0:04:17 | |
This is one of those Tyrannosaurus on the cusp of becoming a T-Rex | 0:04:17 | 0:04:20 | |
type of animal. | 0:04:20 | 0:04:23 | |
Take a look at these tiny but powerful robots. | 0:04:25 | 0:04:27 | |
These microtugs can pull objects 2000 times heavier than themselves - | 0:04:27 | 0:04:31 | |
that's the same as one of us pulling a blue whale. | 0:04:31 | 0:04:35 | |
But when scientists at Stanford University in the US | 0:04:35 | 0:04:37 | |
join them together, they can do this. | 0:04:37 | 0:04:39 | |
Here they are moving a car 3000 times their combined weight. | 0:04:39 | 0:04:42 | |
Impressive! | 0:04:49 | 0:04:50 | |
That's all from me and the Newsround team this afternoon. | 0:04:50 | 0:04:53 | |
We're back tomorrow morning at 7.40am with Ricky. | 0:04:53 | 0:04:55 | |
Enjoy your evening. | 0:04:55 | 0:04:56 | |
Bye. | 0:04:56 | 0:04:57 |
