Hi, I'm Martin, this is Newsround, | 0:00:03 | 0:00:05 | |
and here's what's coming up on the show. | 0:00:05 | 0:00:08 | |
Paralympic legend Ellie Simmonds answers your questions. | 0:00:08 | 0:00:12 | |
And the penguin who got lost in Peru? | 0:00:12 | 0:00:22 | |
First up, you've told us that bullying on social media | 0:00:26 | 0:00:28 | |
is a problem that many of you face. | 0:00:28 | 0:00:31 | |
Now Instagram is releasing a new feature getting rid of any | 0:00:31 | 0:00:34 | |
comments you may find upsetting. | 0:00:34 | 0:00:36 | |
But will it work? | 0:00:36 | 0:00:38 | |
Here's Naz. | 0:00:38 | 0:00:40 | |
Social media is used by millions worldwide. | 0:00:40 | 0:00:43 | |
But bullying is a big problem. | 0:00:43 | 0:00:46 | |
Social media companies have been accused of not doing enough. | 0:00:46 | 0:00:50 | |
And kids being bullied know that certain features made to help | 0:00:50 | 0:00:54 | |
just don't work. | 0:00:54 | 0:00:58 | |
Now Instagram has rolled out a new feature where you can list | 0:00:58 | 0:01:02 | |
all the words and emojis that upset you. | 0:01:02 | 0:01:06 | |
And this is one example of how it works. | 0:01:06 | 0:01:12 | |
I really don't like the word horrible, and the angry emoji | 0:01:12 | 0:01:14 | |
really does make me angry, so I can put those words and that | 0:01:14 | 0:01:18 | |
emoji on a list of words that I don't like, so if anybody comments | 0:01:18 | 0:01:23 | |
on my pics with "horrible" or the angry emoji, they will be | 0:01:23 | 0:01:26 | |
removed automatically and I won't see them. | 0:01:26 | 0:01:30 | |
Instagram says they did this to make sure | 0:01:30 | 0:01:32 | |
"everyone feels safe to be themselves | 0:01:32 | 0:01:34 | |
without criticism or harassment". | 0:01:34 | 0:01:37 | |
But what do these year nines think? | 0:01:37 | 0:01:39 | |
Will it work? | 0:01:39 | 0:01:41 | |
Some people can find their way around the censoring, | 0:01:41 | 0:01:44 | |
and they will use other words. | 0:01:44 | 0:01:46 | |
There's ways around it, they will use physical bullying | 0:01:46 | 0:01:48 | |
and then there's phone calls and other social medias. | 0:01:48 | 0:01:51 | |
Getting the words right and what makes you feel safe | 0:01:51 | 0:01:54 | |
will take a lot of time. | 0:01:54 | 0:01:57 | |
It will probably work for the first week and then get forgotten. | 0:01:57 | 0:02:00 | |
It will give people a sense of security, thinking | 0:02:00 | 0:02:02 | |
that they can't have people saying rude comments about them. | 0:02:02 | 0:02:05 | |
I think that the new feature wouldn't work because | 0:02:05 | 0:02:07 | |
they'd find a way around it and use different emojis. | 0:02:07 | 0:02:09 | |
This is just one idea, but the reality - | 0:02:09 | 0:02:13 | |
it won't solve bullying overnight. | 0:02:13 | 0:02:19 | |
If you're worried about any kind of bullying, then head over | 0:02:19 | 0:02:22 | |
to the Newsround website, where you can find loads of advice. | 0:02:22 | 0:02:25 | |
Next - she's a five-time Paralympic gold medallist who hates | 0:02:25 | 0:02:28 | |
getting her hair wet! | 0:02:28 | 0:02:29 | |
Who are we talking about? | 0:02:29 | 0:02:34 | |
Swimmer Ellie Simmonds, of course! | 0:02:34 | 0:02:36 | |
Fresh from Rio, she's been answering you questions. | 0:02:36 | 0:02:37 | |
Here's Naz. | 0:02:37 | 0:02:38 | |
She's done it again! | 0:02:38 | 0:02:39 | |
And she's done it in a world record. | 0:02:39 | 0:02:41 | |
She is the golden girl of the pool, for sure. | 0:02:41 | 0:02:44 | |
Hello, Ellie, thank you so much for joining us here at Newsround. | 0:02:44 | 0:02:47 | |
Firstly, congratulations. | 0:02:47 | 0:02:49 | |
Thank you very much. | 0:02:49 | 0:02:51 | |
What is it like being back? | 0:02:51 | 0:02:52 | |
It's lovely to be back home. | 0:02:52 | 0:02:54 | |
I really had a great Games, and to celebrate it with everyone, | 0:02:54 | 0:02:57 | |
the great Paralympics that Paralympic GB had. | 0:02:57 | 0:03:00 | |
Our viewers love you and they've been sending us | 0:03:00 | 0:03:03 | |
loads of questions in. | 0:03:03 | 0:03:04 | |
Phoebe, who's ten and from Newbury, asks... | 0:03:04 | 0:03:07 | |
Oh, that's quite a tricky question because sometimes, for me, | 0:03:11 | 0:03:14 | |
being a distance swimmer, at the end of a race, | 0:03:14 | 0:03:17 | |
you're quite tired. | 0:03:17 | 0:03:19 | |
But all I think about is going as fast as I can to touch the pad | 0:03:19 | 0:03:23 | |
at the end of the pool and to hopefully touch first. | 0:03:23 | 0:03:28 | |
Finn, who's ten, says "Wow, you are really good at what you do". | 0:03:28 | 0:03:32 | |
Thank you. | 0:03:33 | 0:03:35 | |
My parents took me to learn to swim at the age of five. | 0:03:35 | 0:03:39 | |
Then I decided, watching the Athens 2004 Paralympics, | 0:03:39 | 0:03:42 | |
I wanted to set my dream of going to the Paralympics | 0:03:42 | 0:03:45 | |
and getting a gold medal. | 0:03:45 | 0:03:48 | |
So I went to a disability competition | 0:03:48 | 0:03:50 | |
and it all went from there. | 0:03:50 | 0:03:52 | |
Josh, who's 11 and from Suffolk, wants to know... | 0:03:52 | 0:03:54 | |
It's really tough being a Paralympian. | 0:03:58 | 0:04:01 | |
I've got to give a lot of dedication and sacrifice | 0:04:01 | 0:04:03 | |
and give it everything I've got. | 0:04:03 | 0:04:04 | |
I train nine times a week, plus gym sessions, | 0:04:04 | 0:04:07 | |
so it's a lot of hours in the pool. | 0:04:07 | 0:04:10 | |
What did you miss most about home? | 0:04:10 | 0:04:13 | |
I really missed my cat, Dipstick. | 0:04:13 | 0:04:15 | |
I'm looking forward to giving her a hug. | 0:04:15 | 0:04:17 | |
But I'm really looking forward to a nice Sunday roast | 0:04:17 | 0:04:20 | |
and my dad's cooking. | 0:04:20 | 0:04:22 | |
She's done it again! | 0:04:22 | 0:04:23 | |
It is gold for Eleanor Simmonds. | 0:04:23 | 0:04:28 | |
Next, this penguin has been causing a flap in Peru. | 0:04:28 | 0:04:34 | |
It took a waddle through the town of Chimbote and found | 0:04:34 | 0:04:37 | |
its way into a house. | 0:04:37 | 0:04:39 | |
The family heard crashing in their kitchen, and thought | 0:04:39 | 0:04:42 | |
they were being robbed! | 0:04:42 | 0:04:43 | |
They went to tackle the thief, but found the penguin instead! | 0:04:43 | 0:04:47 | |
Maybe he was just peckish? | 0:04:47 | 0:04:49 | |
That's all from me. | 0:04:49 | 0:04:50 | |
Newsround's back tomorrow with Naz. | 0:04:50 | 0:04:53 | |
Bye. | 0:04:53 | 0:04:56 |
