It's 5, we're live and you're watching Newsround. I'm Hayley, | :00:09. | :00:13. | |
he's Ricky, and this is what's on the way in the next few minutes. | :00:13. | :00:15. | |
Why social networking sites have age limits and whether they should | :00:15. | :00:19. | |
be open to everyone. Plus is it time smoking in cars was | :00:19. | :00:26. | |
banned? You'll have your say. And the town under siege from | :00:26. | :00:36. | |
:00:36. | :00:48. | ||
baboons. All coming up on your First, from Justin Bieber and Lady | :00:48. | :00:50. | |
Gaga, to your older brother or sister, it can feel like everyone | :00:50. | :00:56. | |
but you is on Facebook or Twitter. But a new report out today says | :00:56. | :00:58. | |
that many kids under 13 in the UK are ignoring age limits and lying | :00:58. | :01:03. | |
about how old they are to get on social networking sites. | :01:03. | :01:06. | |
The EU has warned they're putting themselves in danger, so I've been | :01:06. | :01:14. | |
looking into why the limits are there in the first place. | :01:14. | :01:20. | |
From Twitter hashtags on X Factor to liking Strictly on Facebook. | :01:20. | :01:23. | |
It can feel like social networking is everywhere these days. And | :01:23. | :01:29. | |
everyone's using it. But if you're under 13 you're not allowed on | :01:29. | :01:34. | |
sites such as Facebook and Twitter. Yet that isn't stopping more than | :01:34. | :01:39. | |
half of you logging on. A new report says 59 percent of 11 and 12 | :01:39. | :01:44. | |
year olds in the UK have a social networking profile. And among nine | :01:44. | :01:51. | |
and ten year olds, the figure is more than one in four. You get sent | :01:51. | :02:01. | |
bad messages by other people and it is not good. | :02:01. | :02:06. | |
When you have friends at school on them do you feel left out? I do. | :02:06. | :02:14. | |
why are these rules there in the first place? Cyber bullying is an | :02:14. | :02:19. | |
issue and sometimes people forget about privacy settings and give up | :02:19. | :02:23. | |
too much personal information. 13th is an age where we are some | :02:23. | :02:31. | |
children will be more responsible. And there are sites out there, like | :02:31. | :02:33. | |
Club Penguin, specifically for younger users. So what do they do | :02:33. | :02:41. | |
that Facebook and Twitter don't? have 200 people worldwide making | :02:41. | :02:44. | |
sure that people are safe and happy online. | :02:44. | :02:46. | |
Facebook creator Mark Zuckerberg says he wants the age limits to be | :02:46. | :02:49. | |
lowered. But no matter how many followers that campaign gets, for | :02:49. | :02:51. | |
now the rules designed to keep you safe are staying put. | :02:51. | :02:54. | |
That's a debate that's going to run and run. Now though let's get a | :02:54. | :02:56. | |
rundown of today's other major news stories now with Hayley. | :02:57. | :02:59. | |
First up, more families in the UK are having to rely on emergency | :02:59. | :03:04. | |
food supplies because of rising food prices. According to the | :03:04. | :03:06. | |
Trussel Trust who run food banks where people go if they can't | :03:06. | :03:09. | |
afford to buy things to eat. In just the last six months, they've | :03:09. | :03:11. | |
helped more than 100,000 people, double the number from the whole of | :03:11. | :03:18. | |
last year. Next to the new planet discovered | :03:18. | :03:23. | |
by a couple of part-time star gazers. PH1 is 5,000 light years | :03:23. | :03:27. | |
away and six times bigger than Earth. It was spotted throught the | :03:27. | :03:29. | |
telescopes of two amateur astronomers. Experts say it's | :03:29. | :03:36. | |
really rare because it's got four different suns. | :03:36. | :03:40. | |
And there's new calls for smoking in cars to be banned. Scientists | :03:40. | :03:42. | |
say chemical levels in cars where people smoked were three times | :03:42. | :03:47. | |
higher than the official safe limit, even with the windows open. | :03:47. | :03:50. | |
New research also shows kids are particularly at risk if a parent | :03:50. | :03:54. | |
smokes while they're in the back seat. | :03:54. | :03:57. | |
Well loads of you have been having your say on this on the Newsround | :03:57. | :04:01. | |
website. Molly from Aberdeen says, "I think that smoking in a car | :04:01. | :04:04. | |
should be banned because it could harm other people who don't smoke, | :04:04. | :04:08. | |
which isn't fair." But Natalie from Rutland says, "I don't think | :04:09. | :04:12. | |
smoking should be banned. People should just be sensible enough to | :04:12. | :04:21. | |
not smoke when other people are in the car with them." now, when you | :04:21. | :04:24. | |
woke up today, "Is the world going to end?" might not have been the | :04:24. | :04:27. | |
first thing you thought of. But did you know 50 years ago that was a | :04:27. | :04:35. | |
very real fear for kids in this country. | :04:35. | :04:37. | |
It's 50 years ago to the day since the Cuban Missile Crisis, the | :04:37. | :04:42. | |
closest the world ever came to complete anihilation. In 1962, the | :04:42. | :04:44. | |
Soviet Union sent ships loaded with deadly nuclear bombs to a base | :04:44. | :04:52. | |
right next to America in Cuba. The Americans threatened to fire | :04:52. | :04:54. | |
equally devastating weapons on Russia if the Russians didn't turn | :04:54. | :04:57. | |
around. And we came within minutes of them both firing their entire | :04:57. | :04:59. | |
arsenal of nukes, something that would have wiped out most of the | :04:59. | :05:02. | |
world. It was such a big fear that people in the UK prepared for the | :05:02. | :05:10. | |
worst, as I've been finding out. 50 years ago children in this | :05:10. | :05:14. | |
country were preparing for a missile attack. Most people would | :05:14. | :05:19. | |
not stand a chance but some would go deep underground to escape the | :05:19. | :05:25. | |
destruction above. If there was a bomb warning then a siren it would | :05:25. | :05:29. | |
sound and people would head to their closest bunker. It is | :05:29. | :05:34. | |
basically a big concrete block that could hold around 60 people, deep | :05:34. | :05:40. | |
underground. There were 36 control posts in the UK all like this one. | :05:40. | :05:44. | |
Let us have a look around. They had for a week's supply of food in the | :05:44. | :05:53. | |
kitchen. The bedroom where everyone slept. Not very comfortable! And | :05:53. | :05:57. | |
this room supplied everyone with electricity and water. But deep | :05:57. | :06:03. | |
underground is the operations room where the action plan happened. | :06:03. | :06:10. | |
had 60 people listening, plotting on the map where bombs had gone off. | :06:10. | :06:15. | |
And saying to the military, this is the situation. The Soviet Union | :06:15. | :06:19. | |
eventually broken up and new states like Russia got on better with a | :06:19. | :06:23. | |
miracle. Luckily a new Pier attack on this country never happened but | :06:23. | :06:26. | |
it is good to know there were places like this prepared just in | :06:26. | :06:30. | |
case. Now monkeys might seem like pretty | :06:30. | :06:32. | |
friendly animals, but for more than a decade, they've been terrorising | :06:32. | :06:36. | |
people in South Africa's second busiest city, Cape Town. Locals | :06:36. | :06:38. | |
have been complaining about the pesky primates trying to take over | :06:38. | :06:42. | |
their town and now a new task force has been set up to stop them. | :06:42. | :06:51. | |
Here's Joe with the story. Cape Town, spectacular, vibrant and | :06:51. | :07:01. | |
a tourist Paradise. Until now. These baboons are a protected | :07:01. | :07:04. | |
species under South African all but one troop of primates had become | :07:04. | :07:11. | |
too friendly with the locals and are outstaying their welcome. There | :07:11. | :07:15. | |
clambering into cars, stealing food and have acquired a particular | :07:15. | :07:19. | |
taste for packed lunches. But the locals are fighting back with some | :07:19. | :07:24. | |
unusual ideas to keep the animals in their natural environment. He's | :07:24. | :07:27. | |
paid pull guns are armed with a potent peppers break and it is | :07:27. | :07:33. | |
hoped that will deter them from entering the area in the future. | :07:33. | :07:38. | |
just want to create an association so just one smell of pepper would | :07:38. | :07:43. | |
be a scary enough to them so they say, let us get out of here. | :07:43. | :07:48. | |
some argue it is humans who have caused the problem, building their | :07:48. | :07:52. | |
homes in the natural habitat of the baboons. The animals have no choice | :07:52. | :07:57. | |
but to scavenge for food by raiding campsites and cars. And tourists | :07:57. | :08:02. | |
seem to be making it worse. People come and be seen the animal and | :08:02. | :08:06. | |
think it is hungry and give them food. Philip and his team certainly | :08:06. | :08:09. | |
have their work cut out if they want to stop these mischievous | :08:09. | :08:19. | |
monkeys. All the home nations are in footy | :08:19. | :08:21. | |
action tonight, but no doubt who the latest British sporting hero is. | :08:21. | :08:24. | |
Tennis star, Heather Watson. She says she's now aiming to become | :08:24. | :08:26. | |
World Number One after becoming the first British woman to win a top | :08:26. | :08:33. | |
title in 24 years in Japan at the weekend. I have the capability and | :08:33. | :08:37. | |
the mental toughness to do it. But all these girls think the same | :08:37. | :08:40. | |
thing. And it looks like Andy Murray's mum was impressed with | :08:40. | :08:45. | |
Heather's win. Judy Murray said if Heather won, she'd do the famous | :08:45. | :08:54. |
