Good afternoon, every body. You are watching Newsround. We have got a | :00:26. | :00:32. | |
feast of the day's most delicious news. On the menu: We will have the | :00:32. | :00:37. | |
latest on the captain accused of abandoning his sunken ship. And why | :00:37. | :00:42. | |
one of the world's largest search engines has gone missing. Last year | :00:42. | :00:48. | |
thousands of people died in Somalia, Ethiopia and Kenya after one of the | :00:48. | :00:54. | |
worst droughts in decades. It is thought 50,000 were young children. | :00:54. | :00:58. | |
Today a report has criticised governments for reacting too slowly. | :00:58. | :01:03. | |
They say thousands of people could have been saved if aid had got | :01:03. | :01:07. | |
there more quickly. In July last year news friend sent | :01:07. | :01:12. | |
me to Kenya. We travelled to the world's biggest refugee camp. | :01:12. | :01:16. | |
Daddab is home to hundreds of thousands of people who had escaped | :01:16. | :01:21. | |
the drought in Ethiopia and Somalia. Many families end up walking for | :01:21. | :01:26. | |
days to get here. I even met children like Mohammed who had to | :01:26. | :01:34. | |
make that journey on his own. How long has it taken him to get here? | :01:34. | :01:40. | |
18 days. More than two weeks. When we arrived the camp was more than | :01:40. | :01:45. | |
full. The situation had become increasingly desperate and aid | :01:45. | :01:51. | |
agencies said they were finding it difficult to cope. Six months on | :01:51. | :01:55. | |
Oxfam and Save The Children set up to 100,000 people may have been | :01:55. | :02:00. | |
saved if the world had acted sooner. The charities say warnings about | :02:00. | :02:06. | |
food shortages were given in August 2010, almost a year before a full- | :02:06. | :02:11. | |
scale response. People in Britain raised millions of pounds, but they | :02:11. | :02:16. | |
say it took too long for the money to get to the right places. There | :02:16. | :02:21. | |
were reasons, the 20 year war in Somalia meant it was difficult to | :02:21. | :02:25. | |
get aid to the people who really needed it. The governments of Kenya | :02:25. | :02:31. | |
and Ethiopia were also unwilling to him admit the scale of the disaster. | :02:31. | :02:36. | |
Today there are fresh warnings about a new famine in Niger, but | :02:37. | :02:41. | |
the charities and aid agencies hope a major crisis can be avoided by | :02:41. | :02:46. | |
reacting much more quickly. more on the capsized cruise ship in | :02:46. | :02:52. | |
Italy. A rescue operation to find 23 people had to be stopped today | :02:52. | :02:56. | |
because the ship started to sink further. Although more than 4000 | :02:56. | :03:01. | |
people made it off the ship, 11 have died and one of the talking | :03:01. | :03:08. | |
points is about whether the captain could have done more. The Italian | :03:08. | :03:12. | |
coastguards speak to the captain of the Costa Concordia at minutes | :03:12. | :03:16. | |
after it tipped over. You can hear the coast guards telling the | :03:16. | :03:21. | |
captain to get back on board. on board, is that clear. Can you | :03:21. | :03:29. | |
hear me? It has led to accusations the captain abandoned his ship. | :03:29. | :03:34. | |
Should the person in charge be the last one to lead? In history there | :03:34. | :03:39. | |
have been lots of acts of heroism when the captain has stayed. The | :03:39. | :03:44. | |
most famous was the Titanic nearly 100 years ago. Captain Smith | :03:44. | :03:48. | |
remained on board and is thought to have died when it sank, but the man | :03:48. | :03:54. | |
who owned it escaped. But it is not just ships. Three years ago, an | :03:54. | :03:58. | |
American passenger plane had to land in the Hudson River in New | :03:58. | :04:03. | |
York and the pilot was treated like a hero after making sure he was the | :04:03. | :04:07. | |
last to leave. Although the rules changed from country to country, | :04:07. | :04:13. | |
there is no official rule that says the captain must stay on board. The | :04:14. | :04:18. | |
International Maritime Organisation says there is no punishment in law | :04:18. | :04:22. | |
for the captain who abandoned ship, but he is ultimately responsible | :04:22. | :04:29. | |
for the best of. It is accepted any captain should be off in case of an | :04:29. | :04:37. | |
emergency. He is under arrest and is accused of breaking the law. He | :04:37. | :04:40. | |
denies it, but the matter is now in the hands of the Italian | :04:40. | :04:45. | |
authorities. Next, in the last couple of hours protesters camped | :04:45. | :04:50. | |
outside St Paul's Cathedral have been told they have to lead. They | :04:50. | :04:53. | |
have been there since October campaigning against the weight big | :04:53. | :04:58. | |
banks use their money. But this afternoon at the court said it is | :04:58. | :05:02. | |
illegal for them to stay there any more. Where do you go to find out | :05:02. | :05:09. | |
Live's biggest questions? My mum has always got the answer. Lots of | :05:09. | :05:14. | |
other people use one of the world's biggest fact-finding website, | :05:14. | :05:19. | |
Wikipedia. But for 24 hours it has stopped searching leaving a lot | :05:19. | :05:25. | |
abusers scratching their heads. 25 million users in the UK every day | :05:25. | :05:31. | |
and Wikipedia is the place to go if you want to stay in the know. But | :05:31. | :05:36. | |
today many people have more questions than answers. Usually I | :05:36. | :05:39. | |
would type something into the search engine and we then a couple | :05:39. | :05:47. | |
of seconds get all the information I need. But today... I get this. | :05:47. | :05:51. | |
Instead of a page full of information, we are greeted with | :05:51. | :05:57. | |
this message. It is all part of a 24 hour blackout in protest against | :05:57. | :06:02. | |
plans for new laws in the US. Large bell and TV companies are asking | :06:02. | :06:06. | |
the American Government to change the way sides like Wikipedia and | :06:06. | :06:11. | |
Google work. They want to make it against the law event to provide | :06:11. | :06:16. | |
links to sites that are illegally streaming films and other TV | :06:16. | :06:20. | |
programmes. Well sites like Wikipedia agree that is wrong, they | :06:20. | :06:24. | |
say you should not be able to stop people looking for what they want | :06:24. | :06:30. | |
on the Internet. If you hear there is a great in -- invention called | :06:30. | :06:35. | |
an automobile and two years later you find out it is using being used | :06:35. | :06:41. | |
by a bank robbers, the answer is to deal with that problem. Wikipedia | :06:41. | :06:45. | |
should be back up and running tomorrow. You can sell access it on | :06:45. | :06:51. | |
your telephone or on foreign versions. But with Yahoo and | :06:51. | :06:55. | |
Facebook also campaigning against the new laws, the battle for how we | :06:55. | :07:00. | |
use the Web is settled to rumble on. One person who spent a lot of time | :07:00. | :07:05. | |
online is athlete James Ellington. You might remember as telling you | :07:06. | :07:11. | |
about how he auctioned himself on E Berry in a bid to raise more than | :07:11. | :07:16. | |
�30,000 so he could afford to train for the Olympics. He has found a | :07:16. | :07:20. | |
sponsor and is hoping to compete for Team GB in the 100 metres. | :07:20. | :07:26. | |
Finally, one Sport we will not be seeing. But people who do it I | :07:26. | :07:33. | |
really raising the "baaa-r". Yes, we are talking sheep shearing. | :07:33. | :07:38. | |
Sheep shearers say they are world- class athletes and the event should | :07:38. | :07:44. |
