and Xbox One battle it out to be king of the consoles.

:00:17.:00:20.

And the lowdown on what big exam changes mean for you. This is

Newsround. But first to Turkey, where police

:00:22.:00:25.

and protestors have gone head to head in a day of violence in

:00:25.:00:31.

Istanbul. Two weeks of protests against the way the country's run

:00:31.:00:37.

seemed to be dying down. But overnight things got a lot worse

:00:37.:00:39.

with rubber bullets and tear gas fired. Now Turkey's Prime Minister

:00:39.:00:43.

says he'll show "no more tolerance" to those responsible.

:00:43.:00:46.

The night skies in Turkey lit by fireworks - but they're not being

:00:46.:00:49.

set off in celebration. They're being used as weapons against

:00:49.:00:54.

police. Trouble was originally sparked by government plans to build

:00:54.:01:00.

over a park in Istanbul. Two weeks on, protestors now have a bigger

:01:00.:01:03.

issue, accusing Prime Minister Recep Tayyip Erdogan's government of being

:01:03.:01:13.
:01:13.:01:20.

too strict with controls on every gas and sprayed water cannon. Two

:01:20.:01:27.

BBC reporters were caught in the middle. I am wearing this gas mask

:01:27.:01:31.

because it has been full of tear gas. The police have been telling

:01:31.:01:34.

the protest is that they are not planning to raid the park and get

:01:35.:01:40.

rid of the protest is, they just want to clear out this area in the

:01:40.:01:45.

Square -- get rid of the protest is. But the protest or is believe this

:01:45.:01:54.

is the start of a police raid. than 5,000 people have been injured

:01:54.:01:57.

and three people killed since the protests started. But this is the

:01:57.:02:02.

strongest violence yet. Unrest has now spread to the capital Ankara -

:02:02.:02:04.

threatening talks planned for tomorrow about how to end the

:02:04.:02:07.

stand-off. Next to the billion dollar battle to

:02:07.:02:14.

be crowned king of the consoles. Sony finally showed the world what

:02:14.:02:17.

the Playstation four looks like last night. Xbox One makers Microsoft

:02:17.:02:20.

also gave a glitzy presentation. So with just months until they both hit

:02:20.:02:30.
:02:30.:02:36.

the shelves, who's winning the race for our living rooms? Here's Joe.

:02:36.:02:38.

Two consoles, two flashy presentations and one battle to

:02:38.:02:41.

become the next big thing in gaming. Playstation decided to give away

:02:41.:02:44.

it's biggest secret last night at the E3 technology show - what their

:02:44.:02:48.

machine looks like. And yep - it looks pretty much the same as the

:02:48.:02:54.

Xbox. What are the big differences and how are games fans reacting. The

:02:54.:02:57.

Xbox One needs a daily internet connection for games to work but you

:02:57.:03:07.
:03:07.:03:08.

don't need the net to play on the Playstation four. The playstation

:03:08.:03:14.

will be �349 - that's �80 cheaper. But the thing that got the biggest

:03:14.:03:17.

cheers was Sony saying it wouldn't restrict use of second hand games -

:03:17.:03:21.

so gamers are free to pass them on to friends - something Xbox One

:03:21.:03:24.

technology won't do. It's been seven years since the last generation of

:03:24.:03:27.

consoles came out - back then the Nintendo Wii out sold the XBOX 360

:03:27.:03:30.

and Playstation three. But Nintendo's new console, the Wii U

:03:30.:03:33.

which came out at Christmas, has failed to meet sales targets. And

:03:33.:03:36.

with the rise of gaming on phones and tablets, both companies will

:03:36.:03:39.

have to work hard to convince people theirs is this generation's must

:03:39.:03:41.

have console. Next to big news if you're in Year

:03:41.:03:44.

seven at secondary school, or are heading there soon. You'll be the

:03:44.:03:48.

first to study a new version of GCSE exams, announced for English schools

:03:48.:03:53.

today. Teaching unions say they're worried about the changes, but the

:03:53.:03:56.

man in charge of education in England, Michael Gove, says they

:03:56.:03:59.

will improve standards. Here's what it means for you. There'll be harder

:03:59.:04:02.

exams with more essay questions that you can't retake. You'll need higher

:04:02.:04:05.

marks for each grade. And there will be less course work and modules. The

:04:05.:04:08.

changes are only in England but here's how the rest of the UK's

:04:08.:04:12.

affected. In stark contrast to the direction

:04:12.:04:16.

being taken in England by Michael Gove, it will very much focus on

:04:16.:04:24.

classwork. Pupils will carry on having modular assessment, have

:04:24.:04:28.

coursework and be able to resit exams. Principles in Northern

:04:28.:04:35.

Ireland have no great is desire to see an adoption of what Michael Gove

:04:35.:04:45.

proposes for England. Finally to another big blast off in

:04:45.:04:48.

the global space race. China launched this rocket this morning as

:04:48.:04:51.

part of plans to build their own space station above Earth. On board

:04:51.:04:53.
