Hey, guys. Martin here. On today's show we have exciting new fossil | :00:00. | :00:08. | |
finds, and a brand new way to play football. Stick around, cos this is | :00:09. | :00:10. | |
Newsround. But first, to the peace talks aimed | :00:11. | :00:20. | |
at bringing an end to Syria's brutal civil war that has raged for three | :00:21. | :00:25. | |
years. The idea was to bring together Syria's government with the | :00:26. | :00:28. | |
opposition forces who want them out of power. But so far, the talks in | :00:29. | :00:32. | |
Switzerland have been troubled, with both sides making angry speeches, | :00:33. | :00:35. | |
each side blaming the other for the conflict. Now, the Syrian government | :00:36. | :00:39. | |
has threatened to quit the talks unless "serious" discussions begin | :00:40. | :00:43. | |
by tomorrow. Next, it's known as the Jurassic | :00:44. | :00:46. | |
Coast, and it's protected by the United Nations because its fossils | :00:47. | :00:48. | |
provide an incredibly detailed record of millions of years of our | :00:49. | :00:54. | |
planet's history. But after it was battered by the stormy weather over | :00:55. | :00:57. | |
Christmas and New Year, it's revealed some very exciting new | :00:58. | :01:03. | |
finds. Ayshah's got this one. The storms over Christmas and New | :01:04. | :01:05. | |
Year damaged homes and businesses, attacking coastlines around the | :01:06. | :01:11. | |
country. But here in Dorset, on the Jurassic Coast, the storms have | :01:12. | :01:13. | |
revealed ancient treasures - fossils millions of years old, including | :01:14. | :01:16. | |
whole skeletons of a prehistoric fish lizard known as an | :01:17. | :01:18. | |
icthyosaurus. These are the bones of the | :01:19. | :01:29. | |
icthyosaurus, similar to one the ones found in Dorset. Fossil hunters | :01:30. | :01:32. | |
looking for new dinosaur bones are being warned to stay away because of | :01:33. | :01:36. | |
the danger of mudslides and rocks falling. Britain and one sense | :01:37. | :01:45. | |
because it has produced hundreds of these fossils like the one we found | :01:46. | :01:50. | |
today. In turn, it has produced hundreds of fossil hunters coming | :01:51. | :01:54. | |
here to look for these fossils. The message here is please come along, | :01:55. | :02:00. | |
especially if you are young and eight first-time fossil hunter, take | :02:01. | :02:04. | |
care of those fossils and of yourself. So how important are these | :02:05. | :02:11. | |
new finds? You would be surprised at how common these fines are. People | :02:12. | :02:16. | |
bring in small bones they found on the beach all the time, haps every | :02:17. | :02:21. | |
40 or 50 years we find really spectacular. -- we find something | :02:22. | :02:27. | |
really spectacular. If you're thinking of going hunting for | :02:28. | :02:30. | |
fossils, it's worth remembering to always have an adult with you and to | :02:31. | :02:34. | |
take care of areas that have been damaged by storms because the rocks | :02:35. | :02:38. | |
could make it dangerous. It might be better to get a close-up look at | :02:39. | :02:41. | |
amazing bones like these ones that have already been discovered. | :02:42. | :02:44. | |
One of three possible replacements for NASA's Space Shuttles has been | :02:45. | :02:47. | |
given its first launch date. November 2016 will be the first | :02:48. | :02:50. | |
unmanned flight for what they call the Dream Chaser. It's much smaller | :02:51. | :02:53. | |
than the huge shuttles that transported American astronauts into | :02:54. | :02:56. | |
orbit and back again, but it could still carry seven people into space. | :02:57. | :02:59. | |
Two other companies, Boeing and Space X, have also designed options | :03:00. | :03:03. | |
for NASA. Tennis now. This morning in the | :03:04. | :03:07. | |
battle of the giants, Rafael Nadal powered past Roger Federer to reach | :03:08. | :03:09. | |
the Australian Open final. The Spaniard dominated from start to | :03:10. | :03:12. | |
finish, beating Federer in three straight sets. Nadal, who is | :03:13. | :03:17. | |
currently world number one, will face Stanislas Wawrinka in the final | :03:18. | :03:19. | |
on Sunday. And for the first time in three | :03:20. | :03:22. | |
miserable months, England's cricketers are celebrating a win | :03:23. | :03:26. | |
over Australia! They set the Aussies a massive 317 runs to win in the | :03:27. | :03:29. | |
fourth one-day international, and bowled them out for 259. All-rounder | :03:30. | :03:35. | |
Ben Stokes was man of the match, with seventy runs and four wickets. | :03:36. | :03:40. | |
But Australia still lead the five-match series 3-1. | :03:41. | :03:48. | |
Next, we all know the plan in any footy match is to score the most | :03:49. | :03:51. | |
goals, but when three teams are playing on the same pitch, at the | :03:52. | :03:55. | |
same time, keeping a clean sheet becomes even more important. Check | :03:56. | :04:00. | |
out three-sided football. Instead of two teams on a | :04:01. | :04:04. | |
rectangular pitch, there are three teams on a hexagonal pitch. That | :04:05. | :04:09. | |
means you form topical alliances, your enemy one-minute is your friend | :04:10. | :04:18. | |
the next minute. Very chaotic scramble is with two teams | :04:19. | :04:22. | |
converging on one goal. Last up, here's four words for your | :04:23. | :04:25. | |
Friday afternoon - RAT INFESTED GHOST SHIP. It's the incredible | :04:26. | :04:31. | |
story of an abandoned Russian cruise liner which has been drifting in the | :04:32. | :04:35. | |
Atlantic Ocean since being cut loose almost a year ago. It's thought | :04:36. | :04:40. | |
there may be thousands of diseased rats on board. But don't worry, the | :04:41. | :04:45. | |
British coastguard says there's no sign of the vessel reaching our | :04:46. | :04:49. | |
shores yet. Head to the website for more about this one, and don't | :04:50. | :04:52. | |
forget you can always play our quiz of the week's news stories on there | :04:53. | :04:56. | |
too! That's all we've got time for today. | :04:57. | :05:01. |
