Hello there. The headlines for you: Coming up on Newsround tonight, the

jaw-dropping jawbone giving us a snapshot of our ancestors, and two

press packers go behind-the-scenes at one of the UK's biggest kids'

websites. First up, we are going to go to

Greece. Not for a relaxing few days at the beach, but to the massive

money problems that are threatening the whole world. The country is in

crisis after running out of cash and the troubles could spread if

this isn't sorted out fast. Borrowing loads of money, promising

to pay it all back but then spending it all instead. That is

the big hole Greece is in right now and people aren't happy. Many have

lost their jobs or had their wages cut which has led to protests on

the streets and strikes. It's all to do with this, the euro.

Greece uses it and so far other European countries that use it too

have lent billions to try to get them out of this mess. But if

Greece can't pay the money back, all those countries will lose their

cash. That would make life tougher for people who live there. In

Britain, we don't use the euro, but it's still a big worry. Greece and

other euro countries buy a lot of things from Britain and if they

can't afford to pay for that kind of stuff any more, we could end up

with big money problems too. It's a lot to get your head around.

I've asked my friend Steph, one of the BBC's money reporters to join

me on the Newsround sofa to try and help make sense of it all. Let's

start in Greece. Life is tough there? Yes, it's really hard if you

live in Greece at the moment because they're trying desperately

to save money, that means they're being paid less money, the people

that work there, and they're having to give some of their money to the

Government to try and help solve the problems there and they're so

unhappy about it that they've even been rioting on the streets about

it. World leaders have been trying to find a solution today. Why is

this such a big deal all around the planet? It's really important

because all the countries around Greece, including Greece, decided

to get together and they said, you know, if things get hard and we get

in trouble, we'll all try and help each other, but the problem is,

Greece has spent so much money and is in so much trouble that all the

countries are worried that they might not have enough money to be

able to help them, so they're worried that if Greece can't afford

to pay back what it owes, they'll be in trouble too. Of course, here

in Britain, we use pounds, not euros. What would you say to

someone that says why should I care about this, it's going on hundreds

of miles away? It sounds totally irrelevant. You would think it

doesn't affect us because it's so far away, but in the UK, we make so

many different products like drinks and clothes and food, and we sell

that to countries abroad. Nearly half of the products that we sell

abroad, we sell them to people in Europe, so if they haven't got the

money because they're having to cut back, it means they won't buy as

much stuff from us and we are going to lose out because of it.

Greece stays in trouble, it will affect us? Unfortunately, yes.

Thank you very much. Great to have you on the show.

Let's get you an update on the Pakistani cricketers caught

cheating in a Test match against England last summer. All three have

been sent to prison. Former captain Salman Butt and bowlers Mohammed

Amir and Mohammed Asif deliberately made mistakes by bowling no balls

at certain times during the match at Lord's. It was all part of a big

betting scam. Butt was given a two- and-a-half year sentence.

The judge said cricket matches would forever be tainted by the

scandal. Protesters camping outside St

Paul's in London have been told by authorities they may be able to

stay until the New Year. More than 200 tents are pitched outside the

tourist attraction in protest against lots of things from banks

making too much money to Government spending cut. City of London

corporation is asking the group to take down some tents so fire

engines can get through if there is an emergency.

Here is something that will shock your dentist. The oldest jawbone of

a modern human ever found in Europe. Scientists dated this piece of hiss

Troy a cave in the seaside resort of Torquay in Devon and they think

it goes back more than 40,000 years -- history. They might not look

cosy, but these caves were home to humans tens of thousands of years

ago. They were ideal for keeping warm and for hiding from hungry

hyenas and sabre-tooth tigers. Historians reckon that modern

humans like us or sapienss originated in Africa. Many left

there 60,000 years ago and travel aid cross Europe. One of the first

places they ended up was here in Torquay.

How do they know this? It's all down to this tiny piece of human

jawbone. Scientists have known about the artefact for decades but

the latest technology he's just revealed it's about 42,000 years

old, several thousand years older than experts originally thought.

I think it's exciting because at last it shows us that modern humans

were in Europe and even Western Europe more than 40,000 years ago.

What it also shows is that modern humans lived about the same time as

these guys, Neanderthals, a completely separate species of

human which became extinct. No-one knows how they met their ending but

this new discovery is helping shed light on our beginnings.

Thank you very much. China has successfully joined two spacecraft

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

a big moment for the country's space explorers who hoped to join

lots of ships together to make their own space station.

Next up, we are going to talk about this lot. The online game at Moshi

Monsters is made just for kids but how safe is it? We sent our press

packers to meet the man who created the site to grille him about how

he's making sure it is. I'm Ged. I'm Kai. We have come to

find out about Moshi Monsters for Newsround. Moshi monsters is an

online world where you keep in touch with your friends and look

after monsters and pets., the creative team show us how the

characters are made. How long would it take to make 15 seconds of

animation? Maybe a day to two days. What happens, is I'll be able to

move individual parts of the character...

The man who created it is Michael, but everyone knows him as Mr Moshi.

Why do you think it's so successful? When you sign up to

Moshi Monsters, you get a monster that you can look after yourself so

that responsibility is quite important. It's easier to look

after a virtual pet than it is looking after a real pet and having

to walk it and clean up after it. How can you be sure that it's safe

to play online? We take our responsibility looking after all

the users very, very seriously and we have a big moderation team that

look at all the messages. We use software to see if there's anything

inappropriate going on and it's much safer than allowing kids to go

on Facebook or YouTube or sites that aren't designed for them.
