Hi, I'm Leah with your morning Newsround. On today's show: Find out

:00:00.:00:10.

what this lucky BBC reporter has been up to this morning.

:00:11.:00:15.

And we check out the dancing flight attendants in China. Keep watching,

:00:16.:00:17.

you lot! First, a major international meeting

:00:18.:00:25.

to try and sort out a peace agreement in Syria is back on after

:00:26.:00:30.

it was nearly cancelled. Civil war has been raging in Syria for nearly

:00:31.:00:33.

three years between government forces and the people who want them

:00:34.:00:37.

out of power. Syrian opposition groups had threatened to pull out of

:00:38.:00:41.

the talks after the head of the United Nations invited Iran to join

:00:42.:00:46.

in. Iran supports the Syrian leader President Assad. Now, the UN has

:00:47.:00:50.

withdrawn Iran's invitation, so the talks should still go ahead

:00:51.:00:55.

tomorrow. Yesterday we told you about an

:00:56.:00:58.

attempt to wake a sleeping spacecraft ahead of a daring mission

:00:59.:01:02.

to land on a speeding comet. Scientists faced a nervous wait to

:01:03.:01:08.

see if it worked. Well, yes, it woke up. It sent back a simple message

:01:09.:01:12.

saying, "Hello, World". So now it is ready to speed off for an encounter

:01:13.:01:16.

with a rocky ice-ball, to try and find out how water came to our

:01:17.:01:20.

planet. Toys - you probably can't get enough

:01:21.:01:24.

of them, but last year the number of toys sold in the UK went down. So,

:01:25.:01:27.

what are toymakers doing to turn things around this year? Well, BBC

:01:28.:01:31.

business reporter Steph McGovern is at a huge toy fair in London and

:01:32.:01:35.

might be able to shed some light on it. She sent us this report this

:01:36.:01:42.

morning. Welcome to the UK's the gift toy

:01:43.:01:47.

fair. There are 280 companies with all of the products here. We saw

:01:48.:01:54.

about 364 billion with last year, works out at about 38 toys for every

:01:55.:02:00.

single child of the country. But can you believe we are not spending as

:02:01.:02:04.

much muddy bed as we have done in the past, and it is because we are

:02:05.:02:09.

but spread the birdie on what we call pocket buddy toys, things worth

:02:10.:02:15.

less than ?5. We say big up our body and spending them on bigger toys

:02:16.:02:22.

like the one behind B. Have a look at this dog. She talks and you can

:02:23.:02:35.

ask her questions. What is the BBC? That is a tough one. I don't know.

:02:36.:02:40.

But I would like another chance. As you can see there are tonnes of

:02:41.:02:49.

different toys here, cars, pianos, raspberry outfits you could dress up

:02:50.:02:53.

in, add it certainly is full of lots of different toys. They hope this

:02:54.:02:57.

will help the in history to do better this year.

:02:58.:03:01.

:03:02.:03:05.

do you prefer to have lots of little, less expensive toys, or
