Good morning, Jenny here with all the news you need

to know this Thursday.

Keep watching for some of this.

We've got eSports.

Meet the kids swapping the classroom for consoles.

And Eden Hazard - the footy star helps Chelsea stay on top.

First, the US President Donald Trump is among the world leaders who have

been reacting in shock this week, after chemical weapons

were apparently used in the war in Syria.

At least 72 people died on Monday.

But what exactly are chemical weapons, and why do

they cause such outrage?

Chemical weapons are toxic chemicals that are used to hurt or kill.

They were used in World War One, more than 100 years ago.

They caused such horror that, in 1925, countries agreed

to an international ban on using them in war.

Even in war, there are rules that countries agree to.

Some of those are about the types of weapons that can be used.

20 years ago, there was an agreement called

the Chemical Weapons Convention.

192 nations, including Syria, have signed it, agreeing to destroy

all their chemical weapons.

That's why there's a lot of anger about the suspected attack,

in a country that's been at war for more than six years.

And for a full explanation of what's going on in Syria,

go online now for our guide to the conflict there.

Next, Pepsi have pulled their latest advert after lots of negative

comments on social media.

Model Kendall Jenner stars in the ad where a protest

is taking place in America.

She walks up to a police officer and hands him a can of Pepsi

and then everyone cheers and hugs.

People have complained because they say it makes light

of real protests across America.

Pepsi have apologised - saying they "clearly

missed the mark".

After their shock weekend defeat to Crystal Palace,

Premier League leaders Chelsea are back on track in the title race.

They held off Manchester City with a 2-1 win last night.

Eden Hazard gave Chelsea the early lead before Sergio Aguero equalised

for City with this goal.

But Chelsea were back in front before half-time,

thanks again to Eden Hazard.

You know, it is always difficult to play against Man City.

When they start to play, you need to defend well.

And we did.

We scored two goals, enough today, so we are very

happy to stay top of the league with seven points.

Seven points behind Chelsea are Tottenham,

who made an incredible comeback against Swansea.

Get this, they went from being 1-0 down in the 88th minute,

to scoring three goals by full-time, including this one

from Christian Eriksen.

Well, if you're not a fan of that type of sport,

maybe you'd like to give this a try.

Thousands of students have been taking part in an eSports

competition in London and our new reporter

Whitney, went to meet them.

On sports day, you run 100 metres, you try your best at the egg and

spoon race, or hit the rounders ball as far as possible.

But should your school have an eSports team?

I'm here at eSports tournament in London

where some schools have just that.

This is team R3, who have got through to the final.

How different, Jonathan, is this compared to

football or tennis?

It's very different because we're in cars.

And they're are obviously knocking the ball around.

It's quite fun to play, not having lessons and normal stuff to do.

Communication is key, obviously.

I have seen you guys play.

All chanting each other, how do you motivate each other?

Saying, let's hope we don't lose this game.

Do you think eSports should be included in

school sports day?

Yeah, I think it's quite good because people that

can't run or are not good at it can be good computer games.

Yeah, I was bad at every single sport, including swimming.

I was the worst.

I'm sat here with a professional eSports player.

Doomsy, also known as Ryan.

Which one are we going for today?

Doomsy.

Doomsy, all right.

Do you think eSports should be included in

school sports day?

I think that would be quite fun.

I think keep having as much of a variety of

events as possible, I think it's always a good idea.

In sports and in eSports your mental game is

extremely important.

So you have to be on top form, you have do

make sure you're eating right and you're healthy and I think

that is what is similar.

Is literally just the physical aspect that is

different.

I am going.

Right, I don't know how to play this.

I think this needs to be left to the professionals because I have

no idea what am doing.

That's all from me, we're back in half an hour -

when I'll have news about plans for one spacecraft's spectacular end

to its mission on Saturn.

It's Thursday, welcome to CBBC HQ,
