Hello, everyone. Leah here live with news of the latest stage in the

:00:00.:00:09.

global space race to come. And the robot that can out-smart humans

:00:10.:00:11.

This is Newsround. Let's start with the news that more

:00:12.:00:22.

than nine million people in Syria, almost half the population, are

:00:23.:00:26.

than nine million people in Syria, desperate need of outside help. The

:00:27.:00:28.

United Nations say many still living there are facing starvation and

:00:29.:00:30.

sickness because of the country s civil war. It's often too dangerous

:00:31.:00:35.

to get into areas within the country to find out exactly what's going on.

:00:36.:00:39.

We've told you lots about the millions of refugees who've left

:00:40.:00:42.

Syria for nearby countries since the war started. Today on Newsround

:00:43.:00:47.

we've been trying to find out what life is like for those still inside

:00:48.:00:51.

the country. You might find parts of this report upsetting.

:00:52.:00:57.

In just two-and-a-half years, Syria has changed a lot. Once one of the

:00:58.:01:02.

Middle East's richest countries with good medical care and enough food to

:01:03.:01:08.

go round. The war between the government and rebels has destroyed

:01:09.:01:18.

cities and devastated lives. There is no way to buy food. The markets

:01:19.:01:24.

and shops are bombed out. One day men with guns broke into our house,

:01:25.:01:28.

through the food on the floor and stamped on it so it would be too

:01:29.:01:34.

dirty to heat. Then we had nothing at all. I do not play because I am

:01:35.:01:38.

not young any more. There was nothing left in my young village.

:01:39.:01:45.

These are rare insights into what life is like for the kids trapped

:01:46.:01:48.

here. Finding out what's really going on is hard. The constant

:01:49.:01:51.

threat of violence makes it almost impossible for journalists and aid

:01:52.:01:55.

workers to get around. Basic amenities that people need, children

:01:56.:02:00.

and families across the country It is an ongoing battle and every day

:02:01.:02:05.

is a new battle and we try to do the best we can in these very, very

:02:06.:02:09.

difficult circumstances. They want a temporary end to fighting so they

:02:10.:02:12.

can get food, clothes, medicine to the nine million in need. But while

:02:13.:02:16.

world leaders plan peace talks, the people there continue to suffer

:02:17.:02:24.

Before, I laughed all of the time. Now I do not. Young children are

:02:25.:02:28.

worse. They do not understand why. None of us do, really. They are just

:02:29.:02:34.

sad, terrified children. And as the fighting goes on, the problems build

:02:35.:02:37.

up. Some are receiving help, many more are in need.

:02:38.:02:41.

Well, if anything you saw there did upset you, head over to our website

:02:42.:02:48.

for loads of help and advice. In other news, India's been

:02:49.:02:51.

celebrating its latest step forward in the global space race today. They

:02:52.:02:54.

launched their very first mission to Mars this morning. The Orbiter

:02:55.:02:57.

satellite cost more than ?60 million and will carry out scientific tests

:02:58.:03:00.

on the red planet's atmosphere. India's been competing with China to

:03:01.:03:03.

develop the best space technology in recent years. The BBC's Sanjoy

:03:04.:03:08.

Majumder was at the launch and says it's a big step forward.

:03:09.:03:17.

There are about 1000 scientists here who for days and weeks have been

:03:18.:03:21.

monitoring the progress of this valuable mission, the most ambitious

:03:22.:03:30.

of India's space programme, valuable in terms of India's standing in the

:03:31.:03:33.

world. And we'll have a special report on

:03:34.:03:37.

the history of the global space race and the defining moments in solar

:03:38.:03:40.

exploration on Newsround at 6.5 pm tonight.

:03:41.:03:42.

In sport, the Republic of Ireland football team have a new dynamic duo

:03:43.:03:46.

in charge of their footy team. Former Sunderland, Aston Villa and

:03:47.:03:48.

Celtic boss Martin O'Neill's been named as the replacement for

:03:49.:03:53.

Giovanni Trapattoni. He'll have ex-Ireland and Man United player Roy

:03:54.:03:58.

Keane as his number two. Nine skydivers involved in an

:03:59.:04:00.

incredible mid-air plane crash have been talking about how they all

:04:01.:04:05.

managed to survive. This animation shows how two planes collided at

:04:06.:04:10.

12,000ft in America. Scary to watch. Even scarier to be involved in

:04:11.:04:13.

Finally, how fast are you at rock, paper, scissors?

:04:14.:04:19.

The concern paper, scissors?

:04:20.:04:22.

wings was that they sort of paper, scissors?

:04:23.:04:25.

around in the air. We were paper, scissors?

:04:26.:04:29.

at around 120 miles an hour. They are still floating above us on fire.

:04:30.:04:33.

We needed to make sure we were not directly below them. Finally, how

:04:34.:04:47.

fast are you at rock, paper, scissors? Well, you'd have to be

:04:48.:04:50.

super speedy to beat this robot It's been developed by a scientist

:04:51.:04:54.

in Japan and is so fast it beats humans every single time. It

:04:55.:04:56.

recognises hand shapes and reacts extremely quickly with the winning

:04:57.:05:01.

move rather than making a random shape. It's so fast the human eye

:05:02.:05:02.
