Good afternoon, it's Saturday and you're live with Newsround. | :00:00. | :00:00. | |
I'm Hayley and here's what I've got for you coming up. | :00:00. | :00:08. | |
First to Rio de Janeiro in Brazil where the 2016 Olympic Games kick | :00:09. | :00:26. | |
But for some living one part of the city the battle | :00:27. | :00:32. | |
is on to save the neighbourhood from demolition. | :00:33. | :00:35. | |
A city known for its beaches, its football and in five months' | :00:36. | :00:43. | |
time, it'll be known for 2016 Olympic Games. | :00:44. | :00:50. | |
But just metres away from the Olympic site, | :00:51. | :00:52. | |
the Vila Autodromo favela is being cleared out. | :00:53. | :00:59. | |
Favelas are homes packed together in a sprawling maze | :01:00. | :01:02. | |
Homes are often made of cement or brick and most people have | :01:03. | :01:08. | |
For many years, residents here have been told they have to leave to make | :01:09. | :01:16. | |
way for a bigger road next to the Olympic park. | :01:17. | :01:18. | |
Many have moved on but some, including Maria, have stayed. | :01:19. | :01:24. | |
TRANSLATION: While I don't have a place to go to live, | :01:25. | :01:27. | |
I am sending some of my furniture to my neighbour's house | :01:28. | :01:30. | |
What I really want is to stay in Vila Autodromo. | :01:31. | :01:38. | |
Almost 600 families used to live here but now there are less. | :01:39. | :01:45. | |
The city say residents who have to move will | :01:46. | :01:47. | |
Some say this is their home and they will stay for as long | :01:48. | :01:52. | |
Next, at just 18 years old Kyla Nelson in on the team | :01:53. | :02:01. | |
for Great Britain's women's basketball team. | :02:02. | :02:03. | |
She checked in with Newsround to tell us about how the sport has | :02:04. | :02:06. | |
I'm Kyla Nelson, I'm 18 years old, and I play for the Great Britain | :02:07. | :02:13. | |
I got into basketball from birth, really. | :02:14. | :02:16. | |
My dad was still playing when I was born, and growing | :02:17. | :02:19. | |
And I was about seven when I started playing for a local youth team. | :02:20. | :02:26. | |
It's a privilege, having two people in your life that have played | :02:27. | :02:29. | |
I just want to absorb everything they say. | :02:30. | :02:34. | |
What I love about basketball is just the hustle, the competitiveness | :02:35. | :02:36. | |
Basketball has helped my confidence a lot growing up. | :02:37. | :02:42. | |
I was a little bit overweight when I was younger, and sometimes | :02:43. | :02:45. | |
when I have a bad game, I don't know how good I am. | :02:46. | :02:49. | |
But when I come here, and having team-mates like these | :02:50. | :02:51. | |
They've done some stuff that I just aspire to do myself. | :02:52. | :03:02. | |
Next to the largest missile launcher of its kind in the world. | :03:03. | :03:05. | |
The massive fire-throwing catapult at Warwick Castle in the Midlands | :03:06. | :03:08. | |
is back in action after some serious repair work. | :03:09. | :03:10. | |
..and launches, like, big balls that are on fire. | :03:11. | :03:27. | |
Allow me to introduce you to the world's largest seige engine. | :03:28. | :03:31. | |
A huge catapult called the trebuchet. | :03:32. | :03:38. | |
Our machine is called Ursa - the bear. | :03:39. | :03:40. | |
She's designed to destroy castles, towns, villages. | :03:41. | :03:42. | |
She stands at 18 metres tall and she weighs two tonnes. | :03:43. | :03:50. | |
Each shot we would launch from our machine would weigh | :03:51. | :03:54. | |
about 150 kilos, imagine two huge washing machine is being thrown | :03:55. | :03:57. | |
This machine has to fire every six minutes, so my men must run up these | :03:58. | :04:02. | |
If the sun is pouring through the slats of the wheels | :04:03. | :04:06. | |
and they're looking at it, they're going to get dizzy, | :04:07. | :04:08. | |
What comes out is going to come round and... | :04:09. | :04:18. | |
We're asking you to get online and tell us what you think | :04:19. | :04:39. | |
of the video game and how you think it rates compared to your other | :04:40. | :04:43. | |
Some of you have already posted your thoughts on Pokemon. | :04:44. | :04:50. | |
Lola from New Zealand says that she prefers Minecraft. Lucy says it is | :04:51. | :05:01. | |
her favourite game ever and she hopes there is a new one soon. Sean | :05:02. | :05:06. | |
says Pokemon is still popular because of the strategy involved, it | :05:07. | :05:10. | |
makes you think. Sometimes I find it hard to think on a Saturday! | :05:11. | :05:18. | |
A new job for homeless dogs in Brazil. | :05:19. | :05:20. | |
They haven't learned how to play the actual game just yet, | :05:21. | :05:23. | |
but sporty dogs Ruffal Nadal and Roger Fetcherer acted as ball | :05:24. | :05:26. | |
boys and girls at a match in Sao Paulo. | :05:27. | :05:28. | |
It looks like they weren't too keen to give the balls back, though. | :05:29. | :05:33. | |
The aim of the match is encourage more people in Brazil to adopt | :05:34. | :05:36. | |
Next to a story about an escaped unicorn. | :05:37. | :05:40. | |
Unicorns only exist in story books but this pony dressed up to look | :05:41. | :05:45. | |
like one managed to escape a children's party in California | :05:46. | :05:47. | |
It was only caught after a four-hour chase through the streets of Madera | :05:48. | :05:54. | |
That's all from me, but ill be back right here tomorrow morning | :05:55. | :05:59. |
