Morning guys, Ricky here with all the latest on | :00:00. | :00:07. | |
the way including how classic books are being brought to life for kids. | :00:08. | :00:17. | |
But let's start in Syria where for the first time | :00:18. | :00:19. | |
since war began there, fighting has stopped in the city of Homs. | :00:20. | :00:23. | |
It was right in the middle of the battles between | :00:24. | :00:25. | |
the army forces of Syria's President Assad and rebels who oppose him. | :00:26. | :00:29. | |
While fighting continues elsewhere the rebels left Homs last week | :00:30. | :00:31. | |
and the city is now safe enough for some people to go back. | :00:32. | :00:35. | |
The BBC's Lyse Doucet went to meet some of them. | :00:36. | :00:47. | |
Little is left after the worst battles in a punishing siege. Sounds | :00:48. | :00:58. | |
of life slowly return, even at this music shop. This musician left his | :00:59. | :01:10. | |
shop and home when the fighting big game. He came back two days ago, but | :01:11. | :01:17. | |
not for long. No future for us here. Many Syrians are coming back | :01:18. | :01:23. | |
to take away what remains of their lives. The streets are being cleared | :01:24. | :01:29. | |
of rubble, but this is still no place to live. There is no | :01:30. | :01:34. | |
electricity and no water. There is no fighting now. The Syrian army | :01:35. | :01:41. | |
pounded this area for months and cut it off from food. Rebel fighters | :01:42. | :01:44. | |
fought back until exhausted and starving. They agreed a truce. Most | :01:45. | :01:51. | |
Syrians just want their ordeal to end. This man lost his family home. | :01:52. | :01:57. | |
Today he is helping his uncle to salvage what ever he can. | :01:58. | :02:04. | |
You are only 20, do you see your future here? | :02:05. | :02:09. | |
TRANSLATION: we are coming back to rebuild our country, rebuild our | :02:10. | :02:15. | |
future. Without us, our country is nothing. | :02:16. | :02:18. | |
But for other Syrians, there is no reason to stay. Syria's war is far | :02:19. | :02:19. | |
from over. Donations to the charity backed by | :02:20. | :02:23. | |
inspirational teenage fundraiser, Stephen Sutton, are continuing to | :02:24. | :02:25. | |
flood in this morning after the sad Stephen raised more than ?3.5 | :02:26. | :02:28. | |
million for the Teenage Cancer Trust after being diagnosed with | :02:29. | :02:33. | |
the disease four years ago. The 19-year-old became famous | :02:34. | :02:36. | |
around the world for his positive attitude and a string | :02:37. | :02:38. | |
of amazing fundraising attempts. Thousands of people are still paying | :02:39. | :02:41. | |
tribute, including pupils Very, very difficult because Stephen | :02:42. | :02:43. | |
was so special. But we are all really, really proud | :02:44. | :02:52. | |
and that's an overriding emotion. We want to make sure we go out of | :02:53. | :02:56. | |
our way to celebrate the person that Stephen was, what he contributed | :02:57. | :03:01. | |
both to the school and also more widely and his amazing achievements | :03:02. | :03:05. | |
and how much money he raised. And do remember that if anything | :03:06. | :03:10. | |
in the news upsets you there's lots of help and advice on the Newsround | :03:11. | :03:14. | |
website. How do you make books that were | :03:15. | :03:19. | |
written over 150 years ago Well it's a task the British Library | :03:20. | :03:21. | |
has taken on with the launch of a massive new digital project | :03:22. | :03:26. | |
that aims to bring classical books Jenny's travelled back to Victorian | :03:27. | :03:29. | |
times with a group For the first time, the original | :03:30. | :03:43. | |
handwritten works of authors will be online. They will be there to paint | :03:44. | :03:52. | |
a picture of what life was like. We want to inspire anyone with a love | :03:53. | :03:56. | |
of reading and books to get an understanding into the craft of a | :03:57. | :04:04. | |
writer. These kids are getting a sneak peek at some of the stuff | :04:05. | :04:08. | |
going online. It will make me read more. Seeing where Joan -- Jane | :04:09. | :04:16. | |
Austen though, I can see where she gets her ideas. After reading the | :04:17. | :04:22. | |
poems and the things Charles Dickens went through, I have a clear idea in | :04:23. | :04:28. | |
my head what it was like. Now I have seen all this today, I will try to | :04:29. | :04:31. | |
find a Charles Dickens book and read that instead. Who knows, maybe | :04:32. | :04:37. | |
having all of this at the click of a button will inspire some of you to | :04:38. | :04:42. | |
become a modern-day Charles Dickens yourself. That is almost that it is. | :04:43. | :05:00. | |
But head over to our website. Have a great day at school. | :05:01. | :05:02. |
