Hello, good morning, I'm Naz.

0:00:120:00:13

It's Wednesday and this is Newsround.

0:00:130:00:17

First up, you've told us that bullying on social media

0:00:170:00:19

is a problem that many of you face.

0:00:190:00:22

Well, now Instagram has decided to roll out a new feature getting

0:00:220:00:25

rid of any comments you may find offensive or upsetting.

0:00:250:00:27

But will it stop the bullies?

0:00:270:00:29

I've been asking whether you think it'll work.

0:00:290:00:31

Social media is used by millions worldwide.

0:00:340:00:37

But bullying is a big problem.

0:00:370:00:43

Social media companies have been accused of not doing enough.

0:00:430:00:45

And kids being bullied know that certain features made

0:00:450:00:49

to help just don't work.

0:00:490:00:52

Now Instagram has rolled out a new feature where you can list

0:00:520:00:56

all the words and emojis that upset you.

0:00:560:00:59

And this is one example of how it works.

0:00:590:01:04

I really don't like the word horrible, and the angry emoji

0:01:050:01:08

really does make me angry, so I can put those words and that

0:01:080:01:11

emoji on a list of words that I don't like, so if anybody comments

0:01:110:01:16

on my pics with "horrible" or the angry emoji, they will be

0:01:160:01:20

removed automatically and I won't see them.

0:01:200:01:24

Instagram says they did this to make sure "everyone feels

0:01:240:01:27

safe to be themselves without criticism or harassment".

0:01:270:01:31

But what do these year nines think?

0:01:320:01:35

Will it work?

0:01:350:01:36

Some people can find ways around the censoring, and they

0:01:360:01:38

will use other words.

0:01:380:01:42

There's ways around it, they will use physical bullying

0:01:420:01:44

and then there's phone calls and other social medias.

0:01:440:01:47

Getting the words right and what makes you feel safe

0:01:470:01:49

will take a lot of time.

0:01:490:01:53

It will probably work for the first week and then get forgotten.

0:01:530:01:57

It will give people a sense of security, thinking

0:01:570:02:00

that they can't have people saying rude comments about them.

0:02:000:02:02

I think that the new feature wouldn't work because they would

0:02:020:02:04

find a way around it and use different emojis.

0:02:040:02:09

This is just one idea, but the reality - it

0:02:090:02:11

won't solve bullying overnight.

0:02:110:02:15

And if you're worried about any kind of bullying,

0:02:150:02:17

then head over to the CBBC website where you can find loads of advice.

0:02:170:02:20

Now, to a big story happening in Syria, a country

0:02:220:02:24

in the Middle East where different groups have been at war

0:02:240:02:27

for more than five years.

0:02:270:02:28

On Monday, aid workers taking trucks full of food, clothes and medicine

0:02:280:02:31

to people caught in the fighting were attacked and around

0:02:310:02:34

20 people died.

0:02:340:02:36

America has blamed Russian warplanes for the attack,

0:02:360:02:39

calling it an enormous tragedy, but Russia strongly

0:02:390:02:41

denies being involved.

0:02:410:02:46

The aid workers were from the United Nations,

0:02:460:02:47

and now the organisation, which gets countries to work

0:02:470:02:53

together for peace, says it will stop sending any

0:02:530:02:55

more aid into Syria.

0:02:550:02:58

BBC reporter James Longman sent Newsround this from

0:02:580:03:00

neighbouring country Lebanon.

0:03:000:03:04

There are millions of people who live in parts of Syria

0:03:040:03:06

without regular access to food or medical supplies,

0:03:060:03:10

and this convoy was volunteer is trying to get aid to a town

0:03:100:03:13

in the north of Syria.

0:03:130:03:17

Now, eyewitnesses say bombs were dropped from helicopters

0:03:170:03:19

on a warehouse and 18 trucks, and they had enough aid and medical

0:03:190:03:22

supplies for 78,000 people.

0:03:220:03:26

It comes at a very difficult time for the country, because last week

0:03:260:03:29

there was supposed to be a pause in the fighting,

0:03:290:03:32

but it has been very difficult to get all the different groups

0:03:320:03:35

inside Syria to agree.

0:03:350:03:36

So now politicians are going to have to find a way to save the ceasefire,

0:03:360:03:45

but it's very difficult to see how they can do that,

0:03:450:03:48

because if you hit aid workers in a war zone,

0:03:480:03:50

that is against international law, and that is a war crime.

0:03:500:03:57

Thanks,

0:03:570:03:57

Thanks, James.

0:03:570:03:58

Thanks, James. Next:

0:03:580:04:00

Bulldogs and pugs are becoming more and more popular as pets.

0:04:000:04:03

But now vets are warning that the demand for these types

0:04:030:04:05

of flat-faced breeds of dogs is harming their health.

0:04:050:04:07

Many dogs suffer with breathing problems and some owners

0:04:070:04:10

are choosing to abandon them rather than pay vets' bills.

0:04:100:04:12

The predominant thing with this breed that we see problems

0:04:120:04:14

with is something called Brachycephalic Obstructive Airway

0:04:140:04:16

Syndrome, which is a posh way of saying that because they have got

0:04:160:04:19

a really short nose that we have bred into them, as a result,

0:04:190:04:22

they have breathing difficulties, which you can hear now.

0:04:220:04:25

Owners frequently are not aware of a problem with their dogs,

0:04:250:04:27

they perhaps just accept that the dogs are like this.

0:04:270:04:29

If you have one of these dogs, you will be aware of the problem.

0:04:290:04:33

They are usually snorers, again people find it quite cute,

0:04:330:04:35

but that is a sign, often struggle at exercise,

0:04:350:04:37

they have quite poor tolerance and get tired out very quickly.

0:04:370:04:44

Before I go, head online to give us your questions for Paralympic

0:04:440:04:47

champions Sarah Storey and Ellie Simmonds, as we'll be

0:04:470:04:49

chatting to them later.

0:04:490:04:51

That's all from me.
