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. |
