The attacks that took place in Paris, on Friday November 13th, | 0:00:29 | 0:00:33 | |
shocked the world. | 0:00:33 | 0:00:37 | |
The people that claimed responsibility for these acts, call | 0:00:37 | 0:00:41 | |
themselves Islamic State, or IS. But who are they? | 0:00:41 | 0:00:44 | |
And what can, and should, the world do to stop them? | 0:00:44 | 0:00:46 | |
That's the question now being asked here in the UK. | 0:00:46 | 0:00:50 | |
IS are a group based in the Middle East, mainly in Iraq and Syria, | 0:00:50 | 0:00:53 | |
who have extreme religious beliefs. | 0:00:53 | 0:00:56 | |
They use brutal violence against anyone who doesn't agree | 0:00:56 | 0:00:59 | |
with their views. | 0:00:59 | 0:01:02 | |
They claim to follow the religion of Islam, but many people say their | 0:01:02 | 0:01:05 | |
beliefs of hatred and violence have little to do with Islam and what | 0:01:05 | 0:01:08 | |
the majority of Muslims believe. | 0:01:08 | 0:01:10 | |
Since early 2014, IS has grown quickly - using | 0:01:10 | 0:01:14 | |
the internet and social media to recruit followers and spread fear. | 0:01:14 | 0:01:19 | |
They have been able to take over large parts of Syria | 0:01:19 | 0:01:22 | |
and neighbouring Iraq, declaring this their own state - | 0:01:22 | 0:01:25 | |
and punishing anyone who doesn't follow their strict rules. | 0:01:25 | 0:01:30 | |
Lots of different groups are fighting in Syria, and nations | 0:01:30 | 0:01:33 | |
around the world can't agree on who they want to control the country. | 0:01:33 | 0:01:38 | |
What does unite most of the world is the desire to stop IS because | 0:01:38 | 0:01:42 | |
of how violent their methods are. | 0:01:42 | 0:01:46 | |
The UK has bombed Islamic State-controlled areas in | 0:01:46 | 0:01:50 | |
Iraq but two years ago politicians voted against bombing in Syria. | 0:01:50 | 0:01:55 | |
However, since IS have started attacking places around the world - | 0:01:55 | 0:01:58 | |
like Paris - there is more pressure on the UK to stop them. | 0:01:58 | 0:02:04 | |
Prime Minister David Cameron wants MPs to vote to decide | 0:02:04 | 0:02:07 | |
whether or not the UK should start to bomb IS in Syria, and expects | 0:02:07 | 0:02:11 | |
this to happen very soon. | 0:02:11 | 0:02:13 | |
..is to address the threat we face | 0:02:13 | 0:02:16 | |
and to do so now. | 0:02:16 | 0:02:19 | |
Both France and the USA have already launched airstrikes in the country, | 0:02:19 | 0:02:22 | |
but some feel that the bombs also affect too many | 0:02:22 | 0:02:24 | |
innocent people living there, and that the UK shouldn't be involved. | 0:02:24 | 0:02:28 | |
There's much more on the Newsround website about what's happening | 0:02:28 | 0:02:31 | |
in Syria if you want to know more. | 0:02:31 | 0:02:35 | |
A thick haze of smog has covered cities across northern China. | 0:02:35 | 0:02:38 | |
Pollution levels are well above safe limits, so local authorities | 0:02:38 | 0:02:41 | |
have given out warnings. | 0:02:41 | 0:02:44 | |
The poisonous smog comes from coal burning in factories and homes. | 0:02:44 | 0:02:46 | |
The pollution is so bad that some factories have had | 0:02:46 | 0:02:50 | |
to stop work and heavy trucks have been banned from the roads. | 0:02:50 | 0:02:54 | |
Large parts of South Africa have been declared | 0:02:54 | 0:02:56 | |
drought disaster areas. | 0:02:56 | 0:02:59 | |
The water shortages across the country, which is in the peak of | 0:02:59 | 0:03:02 | |
summer, have been blamed on a lack of rain and an ongoing heat-wave. | 0:03:02 | 0:03:05 | |
The worst affected are farmers who have been unable to harvest crops, | 0:03:05 | 0:03:08 | |
or feed livestock. | 0:03:08 | 0:03:11 | |
South Africans have been told to save water. | 0:03:11 | 0:03:15 | |
The short list is for out for this year's | 0:03:15 | 0:03:17 | |

my family which is, I shout, it's Christmas, to wake everybody up and | 0:04:09 | 0:04:14 | |
