:00:00. > :00:23.Hi, guys, I'm Ayshah, with news of real-life quidditch on Newsround and
:00:24. > :00:26.a bit of this on the way. But first, we've told you loads
:00:27. > :00:29.about Ukraine lately, and today there's been warnings about other
:00:30. > :00:34.countries getting involved in the crisis. US President Barack Obama
:00:35. > :00:37.has told Russia not to interfere. 150,000 Russian troops are currently
:00:38. > :00:39.on high alert on the Ukrainian border, and yesterday one of
:00:40. > :00:42.Ukraine's leading politicians accused them of being behind armed
:00:43. > :00:49.takeovers of two major airports, something Russia denies. Obama says
:00:50. > :00:55.it should be up to Ukrainians themselves to sort things out.
:00:56. > :00:58.Exciting space news next, with the launch of special elite training
:00:59. > :01:02.schemes for young people who want to one day work in the industry.
:01:03. > :01:05.Budding engineers are being given the chance to sign up for the first
:01:06. > :01:10.ever university-level apprenticeship in space training. The Government
:01:11. > :01:16.think the UK space business could be worth ?30 billion in 20 years' time.
:01:17. > :01:19.Now, it's a sport played by witches and wizards in Harry Potter, but now
:01:20. > :01:24.an adapted version of the game has become one of the fastest growing
:01:25. > :01:27.team sports in the UK: I'm talking about quidditch, and I've been
:01:28. > :01:37.checking out how one of Britain's best teams do it. It's fiction into
:01:38. > :01:41.reality, from the pages of Potter to the playing fields of Oxford, one of
:01:42. > :01:46.the top teams in Europe playing the weird and wonderful game of
:01:47. > :01:50.quidditch. The broomsticks raise a lot of eyebrows, but we kind of like
:01:51. > :01:53.them as sort of a handicap, because playing one-handed is what a lot of
:01:54. > :01:57.new peole find difficult. They might not be able to fly, but everything
:01:58. > :02:01.else has been adapted into a real- life game. It's a real sport.
:02:02. > :02:05.There's contact, and it's tactics, and obviously it's a real game! It's
:02:06. > :02:08.kind of rugby and handball combined together, with a broom between your
:02:09. > :02:12.legs. You've got the chasers trying to score with a quaffle, then you've
:02:13. > :02:15.got the bludgers trying to get the chasers out. Then there's the
:02:16. > :02:18.sneakers trying to catch the snitch. So there's three games going on at
:02:19. > :02:22.once. Despite all the confusion, more and more people are playing it.
:02:23. > :02:26.I thought it would be a bunch of strange people, and it's not. That's
:02:27. > :02:33.completely wrong,. I thought I would hate it but I love it. But whatever
:02:34. > :02:38.happens, the game's not over until someone catches the snitch. You end
:02:39. > :02:41.the game by grabbing the ball in a sock carried by them. Sounds simple,
:02:42. > :02:51.but it's not, as the snitch can leave the field and run almost
:02:52. > :02:57.wherever they want. As long as you stay within our boundary, anywhere
:02:58. > :03:00.goes. So in theory, this game can last for a very, very long time.
:03:01. > :03:04.Well, that got us thinking about which sport, real or fictional,
:03:05. > :03:06.you'd like to try out and why. Head over to the Newsround website to let
:03:07. > :03:09.us know. Next to an incredible life-saving
:03:10. > :03:13.operation that saw part of a man's leg re-attached to his arm. It was
:03:14. > :03:17.feared there was nothing doctors could do after Ian McGregor was told
:03:18. > :03:20.he had a large tumour at the top of his leg. But in an 18-hour
:03:21. > :03:24.operation, doctors removed the lower leg, attached it to his arm to keep
:03:25. > :03:27.it growing, removed the tumour and then grafted the muscles back onto
:03:28. > :03:33.the skin. It's believed to be a world first. They said, "We're
:03:34. > :03:40.taking the calf off, implanting it into your right arm so we can keep
:03:41. > :03:43.it alive." I thought,"It's just amazing, what they can do". It's
:03:44. > :03:47.Star Trekky! It's getting into the realms of... Phew!
:03:48. > :03:51.It's one of the most popular programmes on CBBC and yesterday
:03:52. > :03:54.Leanne and Kasey, who play Faith and Bailey in The Dumping Ground,
:03:55. > :03:58.stopped by to have a chat with Leah and answer your questions. This one
:03:59. > :04:02.is from Gavin, who's saying, "Hello, Leanne and Kasey. My question for
:04:03. > :04:06.both of you is: 'If you could be on any other CBBC show apart from The
:04:07. > :04:11.Dumping Ground, which one would it be and why?'" That's such a good
:04:12. > :04:16.question! Ooh, I know. Go on, then, you start. Four O'Clock Club. Yeah,
:04:17. > :04:20.that's a good one, actually. Why, do you think? Because I think that's
:04:21. > :04:24.more... I just really enjoy it a lot. I enjoy it a lot. This is from
:04:25. > :04:28.Catherine. She says, "How long have you been acting for, and how old
:04:29. > :04:32.were you when you started acting?" I've been doing it from a very, very
:04:33. > :04:37.young age, but professionally I'd say the last five, six years. I
:04:38. > :04:42.started when I was 13. I went to an agency not far from where I live. I
:04:43. > :04:46.go in, and I got signed with the agency. I was 14. It just kicked off
:04:47. > :04:50.from there, really. This is from Max in Southampton. He says, "Is it hard
:04:51. > :04:53.making the episodes at all?" With acting, people think it's easy. It's
:04:54. > :04:57.not really easy when you have to wake up about five o'clock, four
:04:58. > :05:04.thirty, and you go till lunchtime and you finish about seven o'clock
:05:05. > :05:08.sometimes. It is quite demanding. You have to really love it and you
:05:09. > :05:10.have to be really, really passionate about it.
:05:11. > :05:13.Finally, we reckon these were the funniest pictures of the week: a BBC
:05:14. > :05:18.news reporter disappearing from view during an interview live on telly.
:05:19. > :05:22.It's had over three million hits online, and now the reporter has
:05:23. > :05:26.been explaining how it happened. This is the camera that had the
:05:27. > :05:29.technical fault that caused it to tilt upwards towards the ceiling,
:05:30. > :05:38.which gave the impression that I'd sunk down in my chair. This is the
:05:39. > :05:42.chair I was sitting on, and as you can see, there are no levers to make
:05:43. > :05:46.it drop and there is definitely no sinkhole. So, why did the picture
:05:47. > :05:49.behind me stay still? Well, it's because we use a special screen, and
:05:50. > :05:57.this camera superimposes that image behind me. It's as simple as that.
:05:58. > :05:59.There you go! We're back just before two. I'll see you then.
