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.
