:00:00. > :00:13.Afternoon, guys. Martin here with some of this on the way: Why a big

:00:14. > :00:16.ban on games consoles has finally been lifted in China.

:00:17. > :00:21.And we look into the pressures of being a high-profile footy boss.

:00:22. > :00:25.But first, playing games on a PlayStation, XBOX or other console

:00:26. > :00:30.is something you can do every day in the UK if you want. But did you know

:00:31. > :00:33.that in China consoles like that have been banned by the Government

:00:34. > :00:38.for 14 years because they thought they were harmful to young people?

:00:39. > :00:42.Now they've decided to lift that ban. China's ??DNWRD Government has

:00:43. > :00:46.a long history of keeping tight controls over people who live there.

:00:47. > :00:53.Ricky's been looking into what it could mean.

:00:54. > :01:02.Unlike the UK, people in China don't get to vote for who they want to be

:01:03. > :01:04.in charge. The country is ruled by the Communist Party, a huge

:01:05. > :01:07.organisation with more than 80 million members. The party has

:01:08. > :01:11.strict rules on what children learn at school, what they watch on TV and

:01:12. > :01:14.even what they can do online. They censor some websites and search

:01:15. > :01:18.results - access to Facebook and Twitter is restricted - and in the

:01:19. > :01:21.year 2000, the government said it was banning foreign games consoles

:01:22. > :01:23.to protect young people's mental health. Now, after 14 years, the

:01:24. > :01:28.console ban has been lifted. Something that could be pretty

:01:29. > :01:30.significant. And not just for gamer.s Because of the console ban,

:01:31. > :01:44.most gamers in China play on China is becoming more liberal is

:01:45. > :01:51.another question. A lot of the games that will be sold will still be

:01:52. > :01:57.subject to Government censorship. Because of the band, most games are

:01:58. > :02:01.played in China on the PC. One of last year's biggest hits was this

:02:02. > :02:03.Army training game made by the Chinese Government. But even with

:02:04. > :02:07.games consoles given the green light, this new freedom will come

:02:08. > :02:10.with government says it will inspect them before they go on sale. The

:02:11. > :02:14.lifting of the ban is also temporary at the moment, so consoles could be

:02:15. > :02:17.banned again in the future. So while allowing foreign consoles to be sold

:02:18. > :02:21.in China may be good news for gamers, it's unlikely to be a sign

:02:22. > :02:24.that there are big changes coming for the country as a whole.

:02:25. > :02:28.In other news, the charity ChildLine say there's been a big rise in the

:02:29. > :02:31.number of children contacting them about being bullied online. The

:02:32. > :02:35.people behind the free advice line say in 2011 and 12 around 2,500 kids

:02:36. > :02:39.asked them for help and counselling, but in the last 12 months that's

:02:40. > :02:43.increased to more than 4,500. They say the numbers reporting racist

:02:44. > :02:46.bullying has also increased. The rise is partly down to more kids

:02:47. > :02:50.having smartphones and tablets for bullies to contact them on. The

:02:51. > :02:53.charity also says that, for the first time ever, they've carried out

:02:54. > :02:57.more counselling online than on the phone.

:02:58. > :03:00.And for more help and advice about bullying head over to the Newsround

:03:01. > :03:02.website USA Elsewhere, America's continuing to cope with record low

:03:03. > :03:17.temperatures. about when the 2022 Football World

:03:18. > :03:21.Cup in Qatar will take place, today. This morning, the General Secretary

:03:22. > :03:24.of FIFA - the organisation that runs world football - said it definitely

:03:25. > :03:27.wouldn't be in summer because it's too hot, and would take place in

:03:28. > :03:30.November or January instead. But this afternoon his bosses said no

:03:31. > :03:33.official decision will be made until later this year.

:03:34. > :03:36.Back home, there's mounting pressure on David Moyes after Manchester

:03:37. > :03:39.United lost the first leg of their Capital One Cup semifinal last night

:03:40. > :03:41.to the Premier League's bottom club,Sunderland. It's another

:03:42. > :03:44.disappointment in a difficult first season at the club, so I've been

:03:45. > :03:50.looking into the different kind of pressures top football bosses like

:03:51. > :03:57.Moyes face. It should have been a dream job. But

:03:58. > :04:03.for David Moyes, it has turned into a bit of a nightmare. It is a very

:04:04. > :04:09.different kind of pressure from what he has been used to. For Everton,

:04:10. > :04:14.coming fifth or sixth with it a great result. Manchester United

:04:15. > :04:18.expect to win this trophy every year. But the same can't be said for

:04:19. > :04:22.the fate of other Premier League managers. Already, six of them have

:04:23. > :04:32.been replaced since the start of the season. So what makes a club sap the

:04:33. > :04:37.boss? It is all really about money. Staying in the Premier League is so

:04:38. > :04:44.important. If there is any threat of relegation, the owners of the club,

:04:45. > :04:51.who is the boss of the manager, they will think, let's get something new

:04:52. > :04:54.in. Soap weather at the top or the bottom, it seems there is one thing

:04:55. > :05:01.all managers have in common, the pressure.

:05:02. > :05:02.That is all from me. Find out on the
