Hey everyone, Leah here with today's afternoon

0:00:040:00:06

edition of Newsround.

0:00:060:00:07

Coming up...

0:00:070:00:08

Will Young quits Strictly.

0:00:080:00:11

And, how computer games are bringing Max and his friends together.

0:00:110:00:15

First, we've heard from some of you that you're worried

0:00:250:00:27

about people dressing as clowns to deliberately try

0:00:270:00:30

and frighten others.

0:00:300:00:33

There are lots of rumours going around at the moment,

0:00:330:00:36

but the police say anyone doing this will get into big trouble.

0:00:360:00:39

We spoke to kids at one school about what they think.

0:00:390:00:41

Recently it's been blown up to be this massive thing.

0:00:440:00:47

And people think they're everywhere.

0:00:470:00:48

Even though they're not.

0:00:480:00:51

So my friends have been saying, like, these clowns are coming to get

0:00:510:00:55

you, be scared.

0:00:550:00:57

I've heard many rumours.

0:00:570:01:02

Mostly spread from social media, but I've heard that apparently

0:01:020:01:08

they're going to come on Thursday, they're going to other schools

0:01:080:01:10

around the area.

0:01:100:01:11

Well, it's kind of like a trend in stuff like videos.

0:01:110:01:14

The way I found out about this was because I saw it on YouTube.

0:01:140:01:17

As soon as you watch one of these videos, it fills up your whole

0:01:170:01:21

recommended bar down the side of YouTube.

0:01:210:01:25

Even some of the YouTubers that I like are now doing it,

0:01:250:01:29

so I can't, like, escape them that way and stuff.

0:01:290:01:32

I have seen recommended creepy clown videos, but I've never watched them

0:01:320:01:35

because I don't see why should scare myself.

0:01:350:01:39

They are complete fakes, frauds, they're not going to do anything.

0:01:390:01:42

And they're not going to hurt you.

0:01:420:01:48

Well, it's just pranks, people are trying to scare people,

0:01:480:01:53

but they're not going to harm you or do anything to you.

0:01:530:01:57

If you do see one, which is fairly unlikely, there is nothing

0:01:570:02:00

to be afraid of.

0:02:000:02:03

You shouldn't worry, it's not a problem, it's mostly just

0:02:030:02:05

social media rumours, really.

0:02:050:02:08

If you are worried at all about people dressed as clowns,

0:02:080:02:10

then make sure you speak to an adult about it.

0:02:100:02:13

And if you are upset by the news, there's loads of advice over

0:02:130:02:17

at Newsround online.

0:02:170:02:20

Will Young has quit Strictly Come Dancing.

0:02:200:02:23

He says it's due to personal reasons.

0:02:230:02:24

Adding that he loved taking part in the show and leaves

0:02:240:02:27

with joy in his heart.

0:02:270:02:28

His dance partner Karen Clifton said she was sad but wished him well.

0:02:280:02:32

The BBC says it respects his decision, and despite him leaving

0:02:320:02:34

there will still be an elimination this weekend.

0:02:340:02:40

Next, Cerebral Palsy is a disorder that affects many different kids

0:02:410:02:45

in many different ways.

0:02:450:02:46

12-year-old Max, who lives in Australia, is one of them -

0:02:460:02:49

but thanks to some special technology, he and his classmates

0:02:490:02:52

have found new ways of communicating together.

0:02:520:02:55

Meet Max - he loves school and hanging out with his mates.

0:02:570:03:00

Max has trouble speaking because he has cerebral palsy,

0:03:000:03:03

a condition that means his brain has trouble communicating

0:03:030:03:06

with his muscles.

0:03:060:03:08

Where is Mr Jessett?

0:03:080:03:10

But recently, a piece of technology called Compass has meant that Max

0:03:100:03:13

can now communicate by himself.

0:03:130:03:18

Compass is great and I can communicate independently.

0:03:180:03:22

What's more, it's helped him get closer to his classmates

0:03:220:03:25

because they've been able to make games that he can play on it.

0:03:250:03:29

That's it, where the red dot is, well done.

0:03:290:03:31

Our teacher said that we should make a game for Max and it

0:03:310:03:34

just went from there.

0:03:340:03:36

We all thought about ideas and I went with the maze.

0:03:360:03:39

One of my other friends went with a car racing game.

0:03:390:03:44

They use coding and programmes like this to create all

0:03:440:03:47

the different parts of the game.

0:03:470:03:50

This game, he smiles a lot when he plays them because he really

0:03:500:03:57

enjoys being able to play games with eye gaze rather than just

0:03:570:04:00

watching someone else play them.

0:04:000:04:02

OK, Max, the point of this game is to help you strengthen your eye

0:04:020:04:05

gaze for getting round the track.

0:04:050:04:07

Thanks to the games, Max has come away with new friends.

0:04:070:04:10

When I first met Max, I didn't really know how

0:04:100:04:12

to interact with him, but then when I started making this,

0:04:120:04:15

I started interacting a lot more with him.

0:04:150:04:17

Me and Max have a good friendship now.

0:04:170:04:19

They also entered the games they designed into a technology

0:04:190:04:22

competition and came a brilliant second place.

0:04:220:04:27

They say they're just glad Max has a new way to have fun

0:04:270:04:30

with his friends.

0:04:300:04:32

Before I go, there's just enough time to tell you that astronaut

0:04:330:04:36

Tim Peake is coming into Newsround HQ this Saturday!

0:04:360:04:41

We want your questions for him.

0:04:410:04:43

If you've ever wondered what it's like to be astronaut or how

0:04:430:04:46

to get his amazing job, then let us know.

0:04:460:04:51

That's all from me.

0:04:520:04:53

Newsround's back tomorrow morning at 7:40am.

0:04:530:04:55

Have a great afternoon.

0:04:550:04:56

Bye-bye.
