Morning, guys.

0:00:140:00:15

Naz here with Wednesday's Newsround.

0:00:150:00:18

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

0:00:180:00:21

is a problem that many of you face.

0:00:210:00:22

Instagram has decided to roll out a new feature getting rid of any

0:00:220:00:26

comments you may find offensive or upsetting.

0:00:260:00:26

But will it work, we asked you?

0:00:270:00:31

Social media is used by millions worldwide.

0:00:350:00:37

But bullying is a big problem.

0:00:370:00:41

Social media companies have been accused of not doing enough.

0:00:410:00:44

And kids being bullied know that certain features made

0:00:440:00:45

to help just don't work.

0:00:450:00:50

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

0:00:550:00:58

all the words and emojis that upset you.

0:00:580:01:00

And this is one example of how it works.

0:01:000:01:03

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

0:01:030:01:06

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

0:01:060:01:10

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

0:01:100:01:14

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

0:01:140:01:20

removed automatically and I won't see them.

0:01:200:01:23

Instagram says they did this to make sure "everyone feels

0:01:230:01:26

safe to be themselves without criticism or harassment".

0:01:260:01:31

But what do these year nines think?

0:01:310:01:33

Will it work?

0:01:330:01:35

Some people can find ways around the censoring, and they

0:01:350:01:38

will use other words.

0:01:380:01:45

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

0:01:450:01:47

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

0:01:470:01:49

Getting the words right and what makes you feel safe

0:01:490:01:52

will take a lot of time.

0:01:520:01:53

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

0:01:530:01:56

It will give people a sense of security, thinking

0:01:560:01:58

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

0:01:580:02:01

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

0:02:010:02:03

find a way around it and use different emojis.

0:02:030:02:08

This is just one idea, but the reality - it

0:02:080:02:11

won't solve bullying overnight.

0:02:110:02:12

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

0:02:120:02:15

then head over to the Newsround website where you can

0:02:150:02:17

find loads of advice.

0:02:170:02:19

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

0:02:200:02:23

in the Middle East where different groups have been at war

0:02:230:02:25

for more than five years.

0:02:250:02:29

On Monday, trucks taking food, clothes and medicine to people

0:02:290:02:32

caught in the fighting were attacked and around 20 people died.

0:02:320:02:35

America has blamed Russian warplanes for the attack,

0:02:350:02:37

calling it an enormous tragedy, but Russia strongly

0:02:370:02:39

denies being involved.

0:02:390:02:44

The aid workers were from the United Nations,

0:02:440:02:46

and now the organisation, which gets countries to work

0:02:460:02:48

together for peace, says it will stop sending any

0:02:480:02:50

more aid into Syria.

0:02:500:02:51

BBC reporter James Longman sent Newsround this

0:02:510:02:53

from neighbouring country Lebanon.

0:02:530:02:57

There are millions of people who live in parts of Syria

0:02:590:03:02

without regular access to food or medical supplies,

0:03:020:03:04

and this convoy was volunteers trying to get aid to a town

0:03:040:03:07

in the north of Syria.

0:03:070:03:13

Now, eyewitnesses say bombs were dropped from helicopters

0:03:130:03:15

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

0:03:150:03:18

supplies for 78,000 people.

0:03:180:03:21

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

0:03:210:03:24

there was supposed to be a pause in the fighting,

0:03:240:03:27

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

0:03:270:03:29

inside Syria to agree.

0:03:290:03:34

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

0:03:340:03:37

but it's very difficult to see how they can do that, because if you hit

0:03:370:03:41

aid workers in a war zone, that is against international law,

0:03:410:03:44

and that is a war crime.

0:03:440:03:47

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

0:03:480:03:50

But now vets are warning that the demand for these types

0:03:500:03:53

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

0:03:530:03:55

Many dogs suffer with breathing problems and some owners

0:03:550:03:57

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

0:03:570:04:01

The predominant thing with this breed which we see problems

0:04:030:04:05

with is something called Brachycephalic Obstructive Airway

0:04:050:04:07

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

0:04:070:04:10

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

0:04:100:04:13

they have breathing difficulties, which you can hear now.

0:04:130:04:17

And she's won 14 gold medals and we're going

0:04:240:04:26

to be meeting her later.

0:04:260:04:27

So we want your questions for Dame Sarah Storey.

0:04:270:04:30

Here's quick reminder of why she's so awesome.

0:04:300:04:31

The Sarah Storey story starts in 1977 in Manchester.

0:04:310:04:31

The Sarah Storey story starts in 1977 in Manchester.

0:04:370:04:39

She was born without a working left hand.

0:04:390:04:41

But that didn't stop her, no way.

0:04:410:04:46

Sarah actually started out as a swimmer, appearing at her first

0:04:460:04:51

Paralympics in 1992, when she was just 14.

0:04:510:04:57

She won two golds, three silvers and a bronze, amazing start.

0:04:570:05:00

Sarah continued as a swimmer in the next three Paralympics,

0:05:000:05:02

winning ten more medals.

0:05:020:05:06

But in 2005, she was forced out of the pool because of ear infections.

0:05:060:05:10

That's when she discovered a passion for cycling.

0:05:100:05:14

The 2008 Beijing Games were her first on a bike,

0:05:140:05:16

winning two golds.

0:05:160:05:19

At the London Games in 2012, she doubled that,

0:05:190:05:21

taking four titles.

0:05:210:05:23

A year later, Sarah and her husband Barney, also a cyclist,

0:05:230:05:26

welcomed their first child, Louisa.

0:05:260:05:29

Louisa was in Rio and watched her mum at the Games.

0:05:290:05:32

She has won 14 gold medals, which is more than any other

0:05:320:05:35

British female.

0:05:350:05:35

Let's not forget her eight silver and three bronze medals,

0:05:350:05:38

all across seven Paralympics.

0:05:380:05:39

And that's Sarah Storey's story so far.

0:05:390:05:44

great

0:05:500:05:50

great story.

0:05:500:05:52

great story. We

0:05:520:05:53

great story. We are

0:05:530:05:53

great story. We are meeting

0:05:530:05:53

great story. We are meeting her

0:05:530:05:53

great story. We are meeting her later.
