Hi, Ricky here with another Newsround update. The countdown | :00:00. | :00:12. | |
begins. We find out how Britain's first astronaut is preparing for | :00:13. | :00:15. | |
space. And the seriously extreme moves from the X Games... Keep | :00:16. | :00:25. | |
watching. First this morning, members of the | :00:26. | :00:27. | |
Syrian government and the opposition, who want them out of | :00:28. | :00:31. | |
power, will meet face to face for the first time today, to try and | :00:32. | :00:34. | |
reach a peace agreement. The war in Syria's been raging for three years | :00:35. | :00:38. | |
now and has killed over a 100,000 people. The long awaited peace talks | :00:39. | :00:42. | |
began in Geneva in Switzerland on Wednesday. But so far there have | :00:43. | :00:44. | |
been angry speeches and accusations from both sides, that the other side | :00:45. | :00:47. | |
caused the conflict. Britain's first astronaut Major Time | :00:48. | :00:50. | |
Peak is gearing up for his mission to the International Space Station - | :00:51. | :00:54. | |
which takes place next year. Major Tim will spend six months in space | :00:55. | :00:57. | |
and is training at the European Astronaut Centre in Germany where | :00:58. | :01:01. | |
they have a replica of the space station. He's also using a pool to | :01:02. | :01:04. | |
try and experience what it's like to work in zero gravity. We can | :01:05. | :01:16. | |
practice walking. If you can imagine in a space suit, it is difficult to | :01:17. | :01:28. | |
venture fingers. We need to use these tools to perform tasks. | :01:29. | :01:34. | |
From life in space to what could be the future of money. Bitcoin is | :01:35. | :01:37. | |
digital money that adults can buy online...and it's causing a big fuss | :01:38. | :01:40. | |
in the technology world. So what is it? And is it the future? Ayshah has | :01:41. | :01:43. | |
been finding out. You will need to keep it in a purse | :01:44. | :01:47. | |
or even in a piggy bank. We're talking about bitcoin, a very | :01:48. | :01:51. | |
different way to pay for things. Bitcoin is a type of money but what | :01:52. | :01:55. | |
makes the difference is that they do not need these are these. Instead it | :01:56. | :02:02. | |
causes a sequence of letters and numbers. The easiest way to get hold | :02:03. | :02:07. | |
of these special sequences is to buy them online. You can use them when | :02:08. | :02:12. | |
shopping on some websites and even in a few places like this cafe in | :02:13. | :02:18. | |
east London. How do they work? A customer will come into the shop, | :02:19. | :02:22. | |
they will choose something they want, we will put that into our | :02:23. | :02:27. | |
computer. It will generate a code which we can put in and it will pay | :02:28. | :02:36. | |
it. So why can't we stick to money? It is money you can use anywhere in | :02:37. | :02:42. | |
the world with it paying to change it. Once you find someone who will | :02:43. | :02:51. | |
accept that it is simple. Not everyone agrees that bitcoins are | :02:52. | :02:55. | |
good idea. People are worried if your computer or smartphone gets | :02:56. | :03:00. | |
hacked, they can still use your bitcoin. Those who've decide that it | :03:01. | :03:06. | |
designed bitcoin say it is safe and secure. The problem is you cannot | :03:07. | :03:12. | |
use it everywhere. But more shops and businesses are planning to use | :03:13. | :03:16. | |
it. It looks like we will be hearing more about it and one day we could | :03:17. | :03:23. | |
be saying goodbye to cash like this. In just a few minutes' time, two of | :03:24. | :03:27. | |
the all-time greats in men's tennis - Rafael Nadal and Roger Federer - | :03:28. | :03:30. | |
will do battle in the Australian Open semi-finals in Melbourne. | :03:31. | :03:33. | |
Between them, they've won 30 Grand Slam singles titles. The winner will | :03:34. | :03:36. | |
face Stanislas Wawrinka, in the Final. | :03:37. | :03:44. | |
Next - to football, but with a twist. We all know the plan in any | :03:45. | :03:48. | |
footy match is to score the most goals - but when three teams are | :03:49. | :03:52. | |
playing on the same pitch, at the same time, keeping a clean sheet | :03:53. | :03:55. | |
becomes even more important. This is "Three-Sided Football". At this | :03:56. | :04:02. | |
football club, instead of two teams on Rick tangle of pitch, there are | :04:03. | :04:10. | |
three teams on a hexagonal pitch. You are enemy one-minute -- your | :04:11. | :04:20. | |
enemy. Is your ally the next minute. You have to teams converging on one | :04:21. | :04:40. | |
goal. Head to their website now to see how next month we could be | :04:41. | :04:44. | |
seeing 1D's Louis swapping the stage for the football pitch. He's set to | :04:45. | :04:47. | |
make his debut for Championship side Doncaster Rovers. Head to the | :04:48. | :04:51. | |
website now to read all about the story! Last up - here's a sport you | :04:52. | :04:54. | |
definitely won't see at the Sochi Winter Olympics. This is Colten | :04:55. | :05:00. | |
Moore from the US. He's just won gold at the X Games in Colorado for | :05:01. | :05:01. |
