:00:24. > :00:28.Hello there. The headlines for you: Coming up on Newsround tonight, the

:00:28. > :00:33.jaw-dropping jawbone giving us a snapshot of our ancestors, and two

:00:33. > :00:38.press packers go behind-the-scenes at one of the UK's biggest kids'

:00:38. > :00:41.websites. First up, we are going to go to

:00:41. > :00:45.Greece. Not for a relaxing few days at the beach, but to the massive

:00:45. > :00:48.money problems that are threatening the whole world. The country is in

:00:49. > :00:54.crisis after running out of cash and the troubles could spread if

:00:54. > :01:00.this isn't sorted out fast. Borrowing loads of money, promising

:01:00. > :01:03.to pay it all back but then spending it all instead. That is

:01:03. > :01:07.the big hole Greece is in right now and people aren't happy. Many have

:01:07. > :01:11.lost their jobs or had their wages cut which has led to protests on

:01:12. > :01:15.the streets and strikes. It's all to do with this, the euro.

:01:15. > :01:19.Greece uses it and so far other European countries that use it too

:01:19. > :01:24.have lent billions to try to get them out of this mess. But if

:01:24. > :01:28.Greece can't pay the money back, all those countries will lose their

:01:28. > :01:32.cash. That would make life tougher for people who live there. In

:01:32. > :01:35.Britain, we don't use the euro, but it's still a big worry. Greece and

:01:35. > :01:39.other euro countries buy a lot of things from Britain and if they

:01:39. > :01:44.can't afford to pay for that kind of stuff any more, we could end up

:01:44. > :01:48.with big money problems too. It's a lot to get your head around.

:01:48. > :01:52.I've asked my friend Steph, one of the BBC's money reporters to join

:01:52. > :01:56.me on the Newsround sofa to try and help make sense of it all. Let's

:01:56. > :01:58.start in Greece. Life is tough there? Yes, it's really hard if you

:01:59. > :02:02.live in Greece at the moment because they're trying desperately

:02:02. > :02:05.to save money, that means they're being paid less money, the people

:02:05. > :02:09.that work there, and they're having to give some of their money to the

:02:09. > :02:13.Government to try and help solve the problems there and they're so

:02:13. > :02:17.unhappy about it that they've even been rioting on the streets about

:02:17. > :02:20.it. World leaders have been trying to find a solution today. Why is

:02:20. > :02:23.this such a big deal all around the planet? It's really important

:02:23. > :02:27.because all the countries around Greece, including Greece, decided

:02:27. > :02:30.to get together and they said, you know, if things get hard and we get

:02:30. > :02:35.in trouble, we'll all try and help each other, but the problem is,

:02:35. > :02:38.Greece has spent so much money and is in so much trouble that all the

:02:38. > :02:41.countries are worried that they might not have enough money to be

:02:41. > :02:44.able to help them, so they're worried that if Greece can't afford

:02:45. > :02:48.to pay back what it owes, they'll be in trouble too. Of course, here

:02:48. > :02:52.in Britain, we use pounds, not euros. What would you say to

:02:52. > :02:56.someone that says why should I care about this, it's going on hundreds

:02:56. > :03:00.of miles away? It sounds totally irrelevant. You would think it

:03:00. > :03:04.doesn't affect us because it's so far away, but in the UK, we make so

:03:04. > :03:08.many different products like drinks and clothes and food, and we sell

:03:08. > :03:12.that to countries abroad. Nearly half of the products that we sell

:03:12. > :03:15.abroad, we sell them to people in Europe, so if they haven't got the

:03:15. > :03:18.money because they're having to cut back, it means they won't buy as

:03:18. > :03:22.much stuff from us and we are going to lose out because of it.

:03:22. > :03:25.Greece stays in trouble, it will affect us? Unfortunately, yes.

:03:25. > :03:30.Thank you very much. Great to have you on the show.

:03:30. > :03:33.Let's get you an update on the Pakistani cricketers caught

:03:33. > :03:38.cheating in a Test match against England last summer. All three have

:03:38. > :03:42.been sent to prison. Former captain Salman Butt and bowlers Mohammed

:03:42. > :03:48.Amir and Mohammed Asif deliberately made mistakes by bowling no balls

:03:48. > :03:55.at certain times during the match at Lord's. It was all part of a big

:03:55. > :04:00.betting scam. Butt was given a two- and-a-half year sentence.

:04:00. > :04:03.The judge said cricket matches would forever be tainted by the

:04:03. > :04:07.scandal. Protesters camping outside St

:04:07. > :04:12.Paul's in London have been told by authorities they may be able to

:04:12. > :04:16.stay until the New Year. More than 200 tents are pitched outside the

:04:16. > :04:19.tourist attraction in protest against lots of things from banks

:04:19. > :04:23.making too much money to Government spending cut. City of London

:04:23. > :04:26.corporation is asking the group to take down some tents so fire

:04:26. > :04:31.engines can get through if there is an emergency.

:04:32. > :04:36.Here is something that will shock your dentist. The oldest jawbone of

:04:36. > :04:40.a modern human ever found in Europe. Scientists dated this piece of hiss

:04:40. > :04:45.Troy a cave in the seaside resort of Torquay in Devon and they think

:04:45. > :04:50.it goes back more than 40,000 years -- history. They might not look

:04:50. > :04:55.cosy, but these caves were home to humans tens of thousands of years

:04:55. > :05:00.ago. They were ideal for keeping warm and for hiding from hungry

:05:00. > :05:07.hyenas and sabre-tooth tigers. Historians reckon that modern

:05:07. > :05:11.humans like us or sapienss originated in Africa. Many left

:05:11. > :05:14.there 60,000 years ago and travel aid cross Europe. One of the first

:05:14. > :05:19.places they ended up was here in Torquay.

:05:19. > :05:22.How do they know this? It's all down to this tiny piece of human

:05:22. > :05:27.jawbone. Scientists have known about the artefact for decades but

:05:27. > :05:32.the latest technology he's just revealed it's about 42,000 years

:05:32. > :05:36.old, several thousand years older than experts originally thought.

:05:36. > :05:39.I think it's exciting because at last it shows us that modern humans

:05:40. > :05:44.were in Europe and even Western Europe more than 40,000 years ago.

:05:44. > :05:50.What it also shows is that modern humans lived about the same time as

:05:50. > :05:53.these guys, Neanderthals, a completely separate species of

:05:53. > :05:58.human which became extinct. No-one knows how they met their ending but

:05:58. > :06:02.this new discovery is helping shed light on our beginnings.

:06:02. > :06:06.Thank you very much. China has successfully joined two spacecraft

:06:06. > :06:10.together in orbit for the first time. This is how they did it. It's

:06:10. > :06:13.a big moment for the country's space explorers who hoped to join

:06:13. > :06:18.lots of ships together to make their own space station.

:06:18. > :06:22.Next up, we are going to talk about this lot. The online game at Moshi

:06:22. > :06:25.Monsters is made just for kids but how safe is it? We sent our press

:06:25. > :06:35.packers to meet the man who created the site to grille him about how

:06:35. > :06:35.

:06:36. > :06:40.he's making sure it is. I'm Ged. I'm Kai. We have come to

:06:40. > :06:44.find out about Moshi Monsters for Newsround. Moshi monsters is an

:06:44. > :06:49.online world where you keep in touch with your friends and look

:06:49. > :06:57.after monsters and pets., the creative team show us how the

:06:57. > :07:00.characters are made. How long would it take to make 15 seconds of

:07:00. > :07:02.animation? Maybe a day to two days. What happens, is I'll be able to

:07:02. > :07:08.move individual parts of the character...

:07:09. > :07:13.The man who created it is Michael, but everyone knows him as Mr Moshi.

:07:13. > :07:16.Why do you think it's so successful? When you sign up to

:07:16. > :07:18.Moshi Monsters, you get a monster that you can look after yourself so

:07:18. > :07:22.that responsibility is quite important. It's easier to look

:07:22. > :07:27.after a virtual pet than it is looking after a real pet and having

:07:27. > :07:31.to walk it and clean up after it. How can you be sure that it's safe

:07:31. > :07:34.to play online? We take our responsibility looking after all

:07:34. > :07:39.the users very, very seriously and we have a big moderation team that

:07:39. > :07:43.look at all the messages. We use software to see if there's anything

:07:43. > :07:47.inappropriate going on and it's much safer than allowing kids to go

:07:47. > :07:54.on Facebook or YouTube or sites that aren't designed for them.
