Hey, chaps! Thanks for stopping by! It's live, just after 5:00pm,and

you're with Nel and Joe. Stick around because we have a jam packed

show including some of this: Charities are calling for more

money to help people in the world's biggest refugee camp. And I've been

asking Richard Branson about his First, people with O2 and Tesco

Mobile phones are getting used to being connected with the world

again after major problems with the O2 network that started yesterday

afternoon and continued into today. Loads of people found they couldn't

use their phones for anything. They were completely useless and it was

VERY frustrating. I've been trying to find out what went wrong.

Yesterday afternoon, hundreds of thousands of people found that

these were totally useless. Customers on the O2 network and

Tesco mobile were unable to send texts, make calls or use the

internet on their phones well into today. Normally when this sort of

thing happens, a faulty transmitter is to blame, which stops people in

one area getting mobile reception. But this time, people all over

country were affected, even though some people were fine. It's

believed to be down to a glitch on O2's central computer system that

holds customer mobile numbers. Those numbers aren't being

recognised by the computer, so it won't connect customers to the

network. This isn't the first time a big company has been hit by

serious technical failures. Last month, big banks RBS and NatWest

caused chaos for customers when a technical fault stopped money going

in and out of accounts. It's estimated that that glitch may have

affected up to 7.5 million people. Blackberry customers had problems

in October when its instant messenger stopped working for two

days. They tried to make it up to customers by offering free apps and

games but their reputation was badly damaged. As well as many --

making people angry, many people were thinking about how to cope

when technology goes down. Reverse charges please! You have been

getting your story ins about Charities working at the world's

largest refugee camp say they're running out of money to help people

escaping drought. Eight organisations, including Oxfam and

Save The Children, say millions of pounds are needed to pay for food,

shelter and medicine at the Dadaab camp in Kenya. Ricky visited Dadaab

last year and he's been looking Almost a year ago, Newsround sent

me to Kenya in North East Africa to meet the children of the drought.

How long has it taken you to get here today? 18 days. So that's more

than two weeks. I met families who had walked for days searching for

food and somewhere to sleep. Millions of people are going hungry

because of a severe water shortage there. Dadaab is made up of series

of camp sites. Some refugees have lived here for more than 20 years.

At the moment there are around 465,000 people living in tents and

mud huts. Many of them are escaping conflict in neighbouring Somali and

Ethiopia. I came here from Somalia five months ago. Where I was living

I had no food and had to walk hours to get water, but there is never

enough. I don't go to school. During the day it is really hot and

windy and during the night it is really cold. Well, that was 12

months ago. Today a new appeal has been launched to raise money for

the refugees. The charities who are based in Dadaab say they need �16

million to meet the needs of the people out there. Last year the UK

gave almost �80 million worth of donations. But the money is now

running out. With funds running dangerously low, aid agencies in

Kenya are worried they won't be able to protect the families who've

ended up there. 30,000 new shelters are needed, with only funding

available for 4,000. Many lives could be at risk. Joining us live

from Oxford is Jo Harrison. She's been in Dadaab for Oxfam and has

just got back. Thank you for joining us. Why do you need the

money and how long do you think it will last? I was there quite

recently but I was also there this time last year. At that time there

were 1,500 people a day arriving who had come from really poor

conditions and were quite literally starving. Today it is a much more

positive outlook. There is much lower malnutrition levels and

people have settled somewhat. Saying that, the situation is still

critical. People need shelter and a lot of the tents that were given

how last year are falling down due to the harsh climate. People are

really just about surviving, only that. So if the funding shortfall

will not be met it will have devastating consequences for the

people living in the camps. What could be done to find a permanent

solution? I was speaking to a lot of the people in the camp, and a

lot of young people who were born in the camp and had never been to

Somalia. Everyone will tell you the same thing. They want to return to

Somalia, the country they are from. But at the moment, of course, there

is conflict in the country, so the only solution for people to be able

to return is to find peace within Somalia. A key very much. -- thank

you very much. If you weren't fed up with the constant rain already

there's another reason to hope things dry up soon. The record

rainfall over the past few months has been washing rats out of the

sewers where they normally live. Health experts are warning that

people shouldn't leave food lying around their homes as it might

attract the rodents who are looking for drier places to sleep! Space. A

lot us look at it as the ultimate adventure but more and more

companies are now seeing it as a place to make big bucks. A British

entrepreneur says he not only wants to send holiday-makers into space

but satellites too. But he's not the only one. For years,

governments have spent billions of pounds to but subtle -- shuttles

and satellites into orbit and the honour, but now private companies

are doing it for themselves in an order to make money. Virgin

holiday revolution next year. At the moment a short trip into space

will cost about �130,000, way more than most of us can afford.

original price is very high, but we can drive that down and down. So

people will hopefully be able to go into space, float around, look at

the windows and back at the Earth. But space tourism is just the start.

Now they want to send satellites into space as well. Satellites have

lots of uses from connecting mobile phones to mapping the Earth, so

companies want quicker and cheaper ways to put them into orbit.

Another British firm are building a plane called Sky long. Earlier this

year space agencies made history by becoming the first private company

to take suppliers to an international space station. So has

space become a place to make money? How much about this is business and

how much is about adventure and exploration? As far as I'm

concerned everything in life is adventure and exploration. And at

the end of the year you try to pay the bills. So if you create

something special, you will get all of these people signing up to enjoy

it, and therefore you can pay the bills. The UK government want to be

a part of the growing space industry and are even looking into

bringing -- building their own port or spaceships. We are used to

seeing aeroplanes and the sky, but because of private companies, in 10

or 15 or 20 years' time, space ships could be there too. And who

knows? Maybe you could be on there. Finally, we know you like weird

animal antics but what about a festival where the only thing you
