First, to an important breakthrough which means Syria can no longer make

chemical weapons. The Syrian government has destroyed

equipment to make chemical weapons as part of a deal to avoid American

air strikes on the country. As a result, a war between Syria and

the US is less likely. Syria has until next year to destroy

the chemical weapons themselves International inspectors were sent

to the country following claims that government forces had used the

weapons to kill hundreds of people. The Syrian government denies the

accusations. Next, this is Ruben, star of CBBC's

My Life. You might have seen his report on

Tuesday about why there aren't more people with Down's Syndrome like him

on TV. Every year there are 750 children

born with the condition, which means they can look a little different and

can have learning difficulties. Ruben reports now on how to treat

people with Down's Syndrome fairly. I'm Ruben. I am 13 years old. I ve

got Down's Syndrome. Sometimes we get in trouble. People don't

understand me and the things I do. Come and have a look at this. This

is a young girl with Down's Syndrome like you. She is having a good time

at the sin machlt she was laughing loudly and so cinema staff asked her

to leave. -- cinema. That's not fair. When this happens it's called

discrimination. In the UK it's illegal. The cinema apologised and

met the girl to find out how to make going to the cinema better for

orchids like her. Some cinema's are now understanding that people like

me need special screenings. I've come to

me need special screenings. I've comfortable atmosphere to watch the

movie. We have the lights up more, we turn the sound down Ando mitt the

trailers from the beginning of the show. I love going to the cinema. I

wish ever where could be like these cinemas and theatres and think about

how we need things done a bit differently for us. Now

are you dressed up in your scariest costume?

Is your fiendish facepaint finished? All round the world people are

getting ready for the scariest night of the year and heading out for some

trick or treating. But no-one's got more into the

Hallowe'en spirit than at one house in Greater Manchester.

street lies quite possibly the scariest house in England. Tonight,

it has been transformed into a Hallowe'en House of Horrors!

Meet the Bird family, bringing terror to the streets of Greater

Manchester. Every year dad Ian gets his boys and ghouls, I mean girls,

to help out. Ian, I'm sorry to bother you, I know you are busy with

your preparations, why do you do this? For fun. One minute. I do it

for fun. I started off doing it at the front door. Opening the front

door with a scary costume and everything. We went from there and

went bigger, bigger and bigger! He has raise the thousands of pounds

for his daughter's school, which helps children with special needs.

We have 500 people who turn up on the night. This year, your garden

looks amazing. You have turned it into a graveyard. How long has it

taken to do all this? Four days That is from start to

taken to do all this? Four days putting the sheets up, digging the

holes and doing the the house. Close to trick and treat time, I will let

this frightening family get on with it.
