:00:23. > :00:27.Afternoon, everybody. Ore here, flying the Newsround flag solo. But
:00:27. > :00:30.it's OK, because I've got you for company. Thanks for dropping by! We
:00:30. > :00:35.are live, it's just after five, and here's what we've got on the way.
:00:35. > :00:40.I'll give you the lowdown on the very latest space race.
:00:40. > :00:44.And, we'll tell you all about the new game that's good for your eyes.
:00:44. > :00:46.But first up, the reason I'm flying solo today is because Hayley has
:00:46. > :00:50.been in Southampton. That's because it's exactly 100 years since the
:00:50. > :00:53.cruise liner Titanic set sail from the port on its first and last
:00:53. > :00:56.journey. One of the world's largest and grandest ships, it was also
:00:56. > :00:59.thought to be one of the safest, but sank after hitting an iceberg
:00:59. > :01:01.five days later. Hundreds of children have taken to the streets
:01:01. > :01:06.of the south-coast city to commemorate the sinking of the ship.
:01:06. > :01:13.They carried pictures of the 1,500 people who died in the tragedy.
:01:13. > :01:18.Children from around the area have been remembering those who died.
:01:18. > :01:28.With me, William and Henry. You have got a special relation to
:01:28. > :01:34.somebody on the ship. Great uncle George was a fireman on the Titanic.
:01:34. > :01:39.He shuffled call. What was it like for him? A bit scary when it was
:01:39. > :01:46.sinking, because he jumped off on lifeboat number nine. Is it
:01:46. > :01:50.important we keep remembering the Titanic? Yes, to remember all the
:01:50. > :01:53.people who died, and to celebrate And as part of the ceremonies today,
:01:53. > :01:57.a new museum has been opened in the port. The SeaCity museum has
:01:57. > :02:00.special displays on the Titanic and the people who died when the ship
:02:00. > :02:04.sank. Many of the crew came from Southampton, in fact over 700, but
:02:04. > :02:07.only 176 of them returned. Hayley's been talking to one of the curators
:02:07. > :02:14.from SeaCity and asked him how the people of the city were feeling
:02:14. > :02:19.today. It is a day of mourning, and a lot
:02:19. > :02:24.of people are remembering their relatives two died. White is it so
:02:24. > :02:29.important we keep on remembering it? It is such as huge disaster, it
:02:29. > :02:31.is so important we understand why it happened, so it does not happen
:02:31. > :02:35.again. And on Thursday, Blue Peter will
:02:35. > :02:38.have a special programme about the Titanic from the new Titanic museum
:02:38. > :02:42.in Belfast. That's at 5:45pm on CBBC. In the meantime, if you can't
:02:42. > :02:46.wait until then, check out our Titanic quiz on the website.
:02:46. > :02:49.Next to Syria, where it looks like a deadline to end the violence will
:02:49. > :02:52.be missed. Government troops had agreed to stop fighting in cities
:02:52. > :02:56.like Homs by today. But so far, there are no signs that's happening,
:02:56. > :02:59.and it seems the situation's even getting worse. Yesterday was one of
:02:59. > :03:03.the most violent days since the uprising began in the country last
:03:03. > :03:07.year. Over the past few weeks, we've been
:03:07. > :03:09.telling you about the race to the deepest part of the ocean and the
:03:09. > :03:13.battle to build the world's fastest car. Well, now there's another
:03:13. > :03:16.fierce contest brewing - this time, in space. Two American rocket
:03:16. > :03:18.companies are fighting to become the first private business to get
:03:18. > :03:28.vital supplies to the International Space Station, potentially changing
:03:28. > :03:28.
:03:29. > :03:31.space travel for good. Check this out.
:03:31. > :03:33.For over 50 years, NASA has been blasting rockets and their
:03:33. > :03:36.astronauts into space. But since the retirement of their Space
:03:36. > :03:39.Shuttle programme last year, the Americans have been looking for
:03:39. > :03:43.other ways to get vital tools and supplies to the International Space
:03:43. > :03:48.Station. And they're hoping to find the answers on a tiny island off
:03:48. > :03:51.the east coast of America. In this huge hangar, a private rocket
:03:51. > :03:56.company called Orbital are putting the final touches to a spacecraft
:03:56. > :03:58.capable of reaching the International Space Station. If
:03:58. > :04:04.they prove they can, they'll not only win multi-billion-pound
:04:04. > :04:06.contracts, but they could change the face of US space exploration.
:04:06. > :04:09.But they're not alone. Rival company SpaceX have already
:04:09. > :04:15.successfully launched their Falcon 9 rocket and Dragon capsule into
:04:15. > :04:23.orbit, and safely returned it to Earth in a test run. And Orbital's
:04:24. > :04:27.Vice President reckons it's starting to feel a like a race.
:04:28. > :04:31.They started the development of their system a year and a half
:04:31. > :04:35.before us, but we are almost neck- and-neck. This animation shows how
:04:35. > :04:38.the Orbital rocket will dock with the ISS. At the moment, the real
:04:38. > :04:41.capsule stands in this clean room. The makers claim it will provide a
:04:41. > :04:51.much cheaper way to get into space, and one expert believes that's
:04:51. > :04:55.exactly what a cash-strapped NASA needs. What I would like to see
:04:55. > :04:58.happen is the competition between the two firms spurring some
:04:59. > :05:02.technical breakthroughs that result in lower costs for getting into
:05:03. > :05:05.space. Builders are now putting the final touches to the site where the
:05:05. > :05:07.rocket will eventually launch, and it's here that the future of
:05:07. > :05:10.American space travel may change forever.
:05:10. > :05:14.If you've been to London recently, you might have noticed this, the
:05:14. > :05:18.Shard. It's Europe's tallest building, and it's almost finished.
:05:18. > :05:22.These pictures from the top have been taken by a group of intruders
:05:22. > :05:30.who broke into the site. The owners say it could have been very
:05:30. > :05:33.dangerous indeed. Understandably, security has now been tightened.
:05:33. > :05:36.It's the world's biggest lottery win, worth almost �400 million. And
:05:36. > :05:42.now, a third person's come forward to take a share of the rollover
:05:43. > :05:46.Maryland lottery in the US. We won't find out how they're going to
:05:46. > :05:53.spend the cash, as they've chosen to keep their identity a secret.
:05:53. > :05:57.Don't blame them! If you're used to adults telling
:05:57. > :05:59.you to stop gaming because you'll hurt your eyes, this may come as a
:05:59. > :06:03.surprise. Eye specialists in Glasgow have developed a video game
:06:03. > :06:12.with a twist, and the kids who use it are encouraged to play on it as
:06:12. > :06:16.much as they can! Your parents tell you GPs spend too
:06:16. > :06:21.much time playing video games, but a top specialist has come up with a
:06:21. > :06:27.game that helps tackle I, I problems in kids. The more you play,
:06:27. > :06:33.the better you get. This game helps rewire brains and help children
:06:33. > :06:37.like Hallam. He has a lazy eye, and he has spent a week wearing these
:06:37. > :06:42.goggles. It when he plays, one of his eyes sees the screen clearer
:06:42. > :06:47.than the other, which forces the bat warned to work harder. It was
:06:47. > :06:53.so bad, it led to him falling over, but after a week, the results were
:06:53. > :06:58.already starting to show. He was not conscious of his sight
:06:58. > :07:06.improving, but he could find things quicker. He could read easier.
:07:06. > :07:14.is usually treated with a patch, but he knows which he prefers.
:07:15. > :07:19.eyelids sometimes got caught in the eye patch, you have to take it off
:07:20. > :07:25.and then close your eye. In tests, These goggles corrected fission
:07:25. > :07:31.within 10 days. Researchers hope the equipment can be used to
:07:31. > :07:34.correct problems suffered later on in life.
:07:34. > :07:37.How's this for an unusual outing? 40 runners gathered in the North
:07:37. > :07:40.Pole to run a marathon! They competed by running a course around
:07:40. > :07:43.an Arctic research station, braving temperatures of minus 26 to run a
