Afternoon, guys. Ore here with you live just after 5.00pm with | :00:24. | :00:28. | |
everything you need to know. On the way today: Wiped out - in | :00:28. | :00:31. | |
one part of the world, black rhinos are declared exctinct. Plus Joe | :00:31. | :00:40. | |
dives deep into the story of those in search of shipwreck treasure. | :00:40. | :00:43. | |
But before all that, first a Newsround special report. All week | :00:43. | :00:46. | |
Leah's been in Greece where there have been riots, protests and | :00:46. | :00:49. | |
demonstrations on the streets. It's all to do with money. The country's | :00:49. | :00:52. | |
running out of it. And that could cause big problems around the world. | :00:52. | :00:55. | |
LG's been finding out why what's happening in Greece matters to the | :00:55. | :01:05. | |
:01:05. | :01:06. | ||
rest of us. Million of Brits come to Greece on | :01:06. | :01:08. | |
holiday every year. But recently it's become more famous for | :01:08. | :01:11. | |
protests, strikes and its failing economy, which has made life much | :01:11. | :01:15. | |
tougher than it used to be. School is a lot different from before. We | :01:15. | :01:24. | |
don't have books. I think that I will not find a job in the future, | :01:24. | :01:28. | |
because now my parents cannot find a job, so how can i? Many people | :01:28. | :01:35. | |
will go to the other countries like America and Australia. The problem | :01:35. | :01:39. | |
started with this - the euro. But to understand what's happened, you | :01:39. | :01:43. | |
have to go back to 2001. That was the year Greece went from using | :01:43. | :01:45. | |
money called drachma to joining a group of European countries that | :01:46. | :01:50. | |
use the euro. Once it began using the euro, it was much easier for | :01:50. | :01:53. | |
the Greek government to borrow money from the banks, so for | :01:53. | :01:55. | |
several years that's exactly what the government did, splashing cash | :01:55. | :01:58. | |
on big building projects and paying out high wages. One of the signs | :01:58. | :02:01. | |
that Greece is suffering from money problems are the rows of empty | :02:01. | :02:09. | |
shops and half-finished buildings. But one of the things the | :02:09. | :02:16. | |
government spent money on was the 2004 Olympic Games. The rowing | :02:16. | :02:23. | |
centre behind me was built seven years ago for the Olympics. The | :02:23. | :02:26. | |
Government spent billions of pounds building venues like these, but now | :02:26. | :02:33. | |
many are locked up and abandoned. Even though they're not really used, | :02:33. | :02:40. | |
they still cost the Government lots of money to maintain. For about ten | :02:40. | :02:43. | |
years they have been speing money, more money than they have been | :02:43. | :02:51. | |
making, so now it's catching up with the country. | :02:51. | :02:55. | |
Britain sells most of the stuff it makes to Europe so if places like | :02:55. | :02:58. | |
Greece stop spending and don't buy British products - that's bad news | :02:58. | :03:01. | |
for our economy. So the people running britain are watching all of | :03:01. | :03:04. | |
this very closely. It's a bit like catching a cold. Greece is one of | :03:04. | :03:07. | |
our neighbours, right now it's quite ill. If it doesn't get the | :03:07. | :03:13. | |
right help. That cold could spread to the rest of Europe including | :03:13. | :03:22. | |
Britain. So that means cutting back on schools, hospitals and jobs. | :03:22. | :03:28. | |
It's led to a lot of anger. Workers have fought back by going on strike | :03:28. | :03:31. | |
which means sometimes rubbish isn't collected for weeks at a time and | :03:31. | :03:34. | |
public transport grinds to a halt. It's made life really difficult for | :03:34. | :03:39. | |
everyone. Afrodite and her mum live in a suburb just outside Athens. | :03:39. | :03:49. | |
The prices are not reasonable, they're double. They're double. So | :03:49. | :03:55. | |
we can't buy what we want, we buy what we need. This year for the | :03:55. | :03:59. | |
first time lots of schools weren't given text books at the start of | :03:59. | :04:01. | |
the year, so children had to learn from photocopies instead. There's | :04:01. | :04:07. | |
no area of life which this hasn't been affected. If you're a young | :04:07. | :04:10. | |
person under the age of 25, there's almost a 50% chance that you won't | :04:10. | :04:17. | |
find a job. I had no idea until I came here just how much the money | :04:17. | :04:21. | |
problems are affecting everyday life. People are confident things | :04:21. | :04:25. | |
will get better, but the road to recovery will be long, and it might | :04:25. | :04:31. | |
not be smooth. Thank you very much. You can find out loads more about | :04:31. | :04:35. | |
the situation on our website. Moving on to the footy news we've | :04:35. | :04:39. | |
spoken about all week. And now the England team WILL wear poppies when | :04:39. | :04:42. | |
they play Spain on Saturday. FIFA had banned the players from wearing | :04:42. | :04:52. | |
:04:52. | :04:53. | ||
them on their shirts, saying it was against the rules. But after | :04:53. | :04:56. | |
pressure from lots of people - including Prince William and Prime | :04:56. | :04:59. | |
Minister David Cameron, world footy bosses have given the ok to England | :04:59. | :05:01. | |
wearing poppies, but printed on black armbands instead. | :05:01. | :05:03. | |
Rescue workers are searching through rubble for survivors after | :05:03. | :05:07. | |
a powerful earthquake hit the city of Van in Turkey. At least nine | :05:07. | :05:10. | |
people have died in the same area hit by last months massive | :05:10. | :05:16. | |
earthquake. Watching Captain Jack Sparrow in | :05:16. | :05:19. | |
search of hidden treasure in Pirates of The Caribbean may look | :05:19. | :05:24. | |
like fun, but in reality a Pirates' life is against the law. A lot of | :05:24. | :05:26. | |
shipwrecks are protected sites, but that doesn't stop some treasure | :05:26. | :05:29. | |
hunters searching the ocean floor for valuable stuff like gold, | :05:29. | :05:39. | |
:05:39. | :05:40. | ||
silver, jewels. Joe's got the underwater scoop. In the latest | :05:40. | :05:46. | |
action adventure movie, hunting for treasure is the name of the game. | :05:46. | :05:51. | |
Shipwrecks in the deep, dark ocean are a pirate's paradise. In the | :05:51. | :05:55. | |
real world, it's estimated as many as three million could be down this, | :05:55. | :05:59. | |
but should sunken ships be better protected? Out of respect for the | :05:59. | :06:04. | |
dead and to protect history, an international deal was made ten | :06:04. | :06:09. | |
years ago to look after underwater sites more than a hundred years old, | :06:09. | :06:13. | |
but that hasn't stopped treasure hunters who have recently found | :06:13. | :06:17. | |
better ways of finding and exploring wrecks. This summer, | :06:17. | :06:22. | |
divers made thousands of pounds by selling 200-year-old champagne that | :06:22. | :06:27. | |
they found at the bottom of the Baltic sea. One of the most famous | :06:27. | :06:31. | |
shipwrecks in history is the Titanic. It sank nearly a hundred | :06:31. | :06:38. | |
years ago when it smashed into an iceberg. Lots of artefacts have | :06:39. | :06:45. | |
been recovered, including shul jewellery, shoes and reading | :06:45. | :06:52. | |
glasses. Some experts believe the best | :06:52. | :07:01. | |
solution is exploration through virtual museums and another idea | :07:01. | :07:04. | |
from daredevil entrepreneur Richard Branson is taking tourists down | :07:04. | :07:10. | |
into the deep blue seas to explore for themselves. | :07:10. | :07:15. | |
There are no wild black rhinos left in West Africa. A world-wide survey | :07:15. | :07:18. | |
shows they've been completely wiped out in that part of the continent - | :07:18. | :07:21. | |
many because of illegal poaching by gangs who want to sell their | :07:21. | :07:24. | |
valuable horns. But there is some good news - the Przewalski horse - | :07:24. | :07:28. | |
thought to be extinct in the wild more than ten years ago - is back. | :07:28. | :07:30. | |
Before we go, here's a quick preview of Newsround's latest | :07:31. | :07:36. | |
special programme, My Autism and Me, which looks at what it's like to | :07:36. | :07:44. | |
grow up with autism. It's tomorrow at 16.40pm on CBBC. I live with my | :07:44. | :07:50. | |
mum, my dad, my brother and my sister. And one day I want to be a | :07:50. | :07:54. | |
world famous actress. I also have autism, which means | :07:54. | :07:58. | |
that my brain works a bit differently. I'm going to take you | :07:58. | :08:06. | |
into my world. Imagination! I'll show you how autism affects kids in | :08:06. | :08:12. | |
all sorts of ways. I am not a logical person as you may know. | :08:12. | :08:16. | |
want to be different. I ask to be different. I am different. However | :08:16. | :08:20. |
