Hi, guys, Martin here, with why these big crowds are gathering to | :00:00. | :00:00. | |
watch people play computer games. Plus, the docks getting a Hollywood | :00:00. | :00:08. | |
makeover for the new Alice In Wonderland. It's Newsround. | :00:09. | :00:32. | |
Buildings, roads and buildings were damaged. It has also caused fires | :00:33. | :00:38. | |
and burst water mains and gas plants. 90 people have been injured | :00:39. | :00:43. | |
and people there have been describing. | :00:44. | :00:44. | |
The bed started shaking, woke us up. And I have never felt anything like | :00:45. | :00:46. | |
that before. It felt like you were inside a snow globe, when they're | :00:47. | :00:49. | |
shaking it really hard. It only lasted about 20 seconds, but it was | :00:50. | :00:52. | |
Next to a big row in Formula One after Britain's Lewis Hamilton | :00:53. | :00:56. | |
claimed his teammate crashed into him on purpose. A second lap clash | :00:57. | :01:02. | |
with fellow Mercedes driver Nico Rosberg forced Hamilton out of | :01:03. | :01:05. | |
yesterday's Belgian Grand Prix, while Rosberg finished second. But | :01:06. | :01:07. | |
in a team meeting after the race, Hamilton says Rosberg admitted he | :01:08. | :01:10. | |
did it deliberately. The pair are in a fierce battle for the driver's | :01:11. | :01:16. | |
championship, but yesterday's result helps Rosberg move 29 points clear. | :01:17. | :01:24. | |
Well, there's a lot of things going on in my mind and of course, you get | :01:25. | :01:28. | |
to thinking that maybe it's not my year. But I can't let that overtake | :01:29. | :01:32. | |
Now to the British city getting a Hollywood makeover. If you've ever | :01:33. | :01:40. | |
dreamed of living in a fairytale, Gloucester docks could be the place | :01:41. | :01:48. | |
to go. Confused? Here is Ricky to explain. | :01:49. | :01:54. | |
Ancient ships. Historical costumes...all living in a world | :01:55. | :02:03. | |
that was dreamt up a very long time ago. But this fairytale is happening | :02:04. | :02:07. | |
right now in Gloucester, in England. This is the film set for Tim | :02:08. | :02:10. | |
Burton's latest Alice In Wonderland film, Alice Through The Looking | :02:11. | :02:14. | |
Glass. The film stars Johnny Depp, Anne Hathaway and Helena Bonham | :02:15. | :02:17. | |
Carter. The set draws quite a crowd, but have they seen any of the stars | :02:18. | :02:21. | |
yet? No. Seen a few extras, we think. Lots of pirates, as the kids | :02:22. | :02:28. | |
say. So the big stars may not have arrived yet, but Disney and their | :02:29. | :02:31. | |
big production has, and that's good news for Gloucester, because it | :02:32. | :02:36. | |
helps promote the city and its major locations. I think it has some | :02:37. | :02:39. | |
amazing historical properties. The cathedral is one, and you have the | :02:40. | :02:43. | |
history of Harry Potter filming there. But also around the docks, | :02:44. | :02:47. | |
there are amazing unspoiled areas, and that is what makes filming here | :02:48. | :02:50. | |
so useful. The film is not due to hit the big screen for another | :02:51. | :02:55. | |
couple of years, but if you are out and about in Gloucester this summer, | :02:56. | :02:58. | |
have a look around, because you never know which famous face you | :02:59. | :03:01. | |
might bump into. I'm sure I've seen that horse in another film before. | :03:02. | :03:04. | |
Now, you might not think of gaming as a spectator sport, but superstar | :03:05. | :03:08. | |
gamers are filling stadiums as people flock to watch them play. | :03:09. | :03:12. | |
Thousands of people attended the UK's biggest gaming festival in | :03:13. | :03:16. | |
Coventry over the weekend to see competitive gamers battle it out on | :03:17. | :03:18. | |
stage. If you've played the game, you can | :03:19. | :03:32. | |
appreciate the level of skill and technical ability that goes into it. | :03:33. | :03:35. | |
It's really funny to watch something they can pull off and think, "Wow, | :03:36. | :03:38. | |
they must have put so much practice into this". It does inspire you, in | :03:39. | :03:41. | |
And from the latest in gaming to the very latest in technology for jet | :03:42. | :03:53. | |
skis or helicopters or hot-air balloons. Other bikes are the latest | :03:54. | :03:55. | |
high-tech must have. Is it a bird? Is it a plane? No, | :03:56. | :04:05. | |
it's actually an aerial drone. Welcome to the latest gadget that | :04:06. | :04:08. | |
could take aviation to the next level. It's remote-controlled, and | :04:09. | :04:11. | |
takes off, lands and flies just like a helicopter. But this is just a | :04:12. | :04:16. | |
test model for something bigger and better. Ladies and gentlemen, the | :04:17. | :04:26. | |
quadcopter hoverbike. A helicopter/bike/plane that can be | :04:27. | :04:39. | |
piloted by a person or the idea of this guide, Chris. He's | :04:40. | :04:41. | |
an engineer and pilot, who says he wants to make a safer kind of | :04:42. | :04:46. | |
helicopter. When I got my helicopter licence, I realised that the | :04:47. | :04:49. | |
helicopter as a design has a lot of improvements to be made. My goal was | :04:50. | :04:52. | |
to see where we could strip away the complexity and increase safety. The | :04:53. | :04:55. | |
engineers hope to launch the small, unmanned version first, before | :04:56. | :04:58. | |
trying to get the go-ahead for the full-sized hoverbike. They say it | :04:59. | :05:05. | |
could help reach places normal choppers can't. The helicopter is | :05:06. | :05:11. | |
inherently complex. The hovercraft is very simple. So it is safer. | :05:12. | :05:16. | |
So, what's next? Well, they are putting the finishing touches to the | :05:17. | :05:19. | |
final prototype, and will be looking to do test flights in a few months' | :05:20. | :05:35. | |
time. OK, so arriving at a school on these is probably a little way off, | :05:36. | :05:39. | |
but its inventors hope that one day, the quadcopter will be a thriving | :05:40. | :05:43. | |
success. Now, we want to know what you would | :05:44. | :05:54. | |
do if you could ask Steve Backshall if you got the chance. Get online | :05:55. | :05:59. | |
