Hey everyone, Leah here with today's afternoon | 0:00:04 | 0:00:06 | |
edition of Newsround. | 0:00:06 | 0:00:07 | |
Coming up... | 0:00:07 | 0:00:08 | |
Will Young quits Strictly. | 0:00:08 | 0:00:11 | |
And, how computer games are bringing Max and his friends together. | 0:00:11 | 0:00:15 | |
First, we've heard from some of you that you're worried | 0:00:25 | 0:00:27 | |
about people dressing as clowns to deliberately try | 0:00:27 | 0:00:30 | |
and frighten others. | 0:00:30 | 0:00:33 | |
There are lots of rumours going around at the moment, | 0:00:33 | 0:00:36 | |
but the police say anyone doing this will get into big trouble. | 0:00:36 | 0:00:39 | |
We spoke to kids at one school about what they think. | 0:00:39 | 0:00:41 | |
Recently it's been blown up to be this massive thing. | 0:00:44 | 0:00:47 | |
And people think they're everywhere. | 0:00:47 | 0:00:48 | |
Even though they're not. | 0:00:48 | 0:00:51 | |
So my friends have been saying, like, these clowns are coming to get | 0:00:51 | 0:00:55 | |
you, be scared. | 0:00:55 | 0:00:57 | |
I've heard many rumours. | 0:00:57 | 0:01:02 | |
Mostly spread from social media, but I've heard that apparently | 0:01:02 | 0:01:08 | |
they're going to come on Thursday, they're going to other schools | 0:01:08 | 0:01:10 | |
around the area. | 0:01:10 | 0:01:11 | |
Well, it's kind of like a trend in stuff like videos. | 0:01:11 | 0:01:14 | |
The way I found out about this was because I saw it on YouTube. | 0:01:14 | 0:01:17 | |
As soon as you watch one of these videos, it fills up your whole | 0:01:17 | 0:01:21 | |
recommended bar down the side of YouTube. | 0:01:21 | 0:01:25 | |
Even some of the YouTubers that I like are now doing it, | 0:01:25 | 0:01:29 | |
so I can't, like, escape them that way and stuff. | 0:01:29 | 0:01:32 | |
I have seen recommended creepy clown videos, but I've never watched them | 0:01:32 | 0:01:35 | |
because I don't see why should scare myself. | 0:01:35 | 0:01:39 | |
They are complete fakes, frauds, they're not going to do anything. | 0:01:39 | 0:01:42 | |
And they're not going to hurt you. | 0:01:42 | 0:01:48 | |
Well, it's just pranks, people are trying to scare people, | 0:01:48 | 0:01:53 | |
but they're not going to harm you or do anything to you. | 0:01:53 | 0:01:57 | |
If you do see one, which is fairly unlikely, there is nothing | 0:01:57 | 0:02:00 | |
to be afraid of. | 0:02:00 | 0:02:03 | |
You shouldn't worry, it's not a problem, it's mostly just | 0:02:03 | 0:02:05 | |
social media rumours, really. | 0:02:05 | 0:02:08 | |
If you are worried at all about people dressed as clowns, | 0:02:08 | 0:02:10 | |
then make sure you speak to an adult about it. | 0:02:10 | 0:02:13 | |
And if you are upset by the news, there's loads of advice over | 0:02:13 | 0:02:17 | |
at Newsround online. | 0:02:17 | 0:02:20 | |
Will Young has quit Strictly Come Dancing. | 0:02:20 | 0:02:23 | |
He says it's due to personal reasons. | 0:02:23 | 0:02:24 | |
Adding that he loved taking part in the show and leaves | 0:02:24 | 0:02:27 | |
with joy in his heart. | 0:02:27 | 0:02:28 | |
His dance partner Karen Clifton said she was sad but wished him well. | 0:02:28 | 0:02:32 | |
The BBC says it respects his decision, and despite him leaving | 0:02:32 | 0:02:34 | |
there will still be an elimination this weekend. | 0:02:34 | 0:02:40 | |
Next, Cerebral Palsy is a disorder that affects many different kids | 0:02:41 | 0:02:45 | |
in many different ways. | 0:02:45 | 0:02:46 | |
12-year-old Max, who lives in Australia, is one of them - | 0:02:46 | 0:02:49 | |
but thanks to some special technology, he and his classmates | 0:02:49 | 0:02:52 | |
have found new ways of communicating together. | 0:02:52 | 0:02:55 | |
Meet Max - he loves school and hanging out with his mates. | 0:02:57 | 0:03:00 | |
Max has trouble speaking because he has cerebral palsy, | 0:03:00 | 0:03:03 | |
a condition that means his brain has trouble communicating | 0:03:03 | 0:03:06 | |
with his muscles. | 0:03:06 | 0:03:08 | |
Where is Mr Jessett? | 0:03:08 | 0:03:10 | |
But recently, a piece of technology called Compass has meant that Max | 0:03:10 | 0:03:13 | |
can now communicate by himself. | 0:03:13 | 0:03:18 | |
Compass is great and I can communicate independently. | 0:03:18 | 0:03:22 | |
What's more, it's helped him get closer to his classmates | 0:03:22 | 0:03:25 | |
because they've been able to make games that he can play on it. | 0:03:25 | 0:03:29 | |
That's it, where the red dot is, well done. | 0:03:29 | 0:03:31 | |
Our teacher said that we should make a game for Max and it | 0:03:31 | 0:03:34 | |
just went from there. | 0:03:34 | 0:03:36 | |
We all thought about ideas and I went with the maze. | 0:03:36 | 0:03:39 | |
One of my other friends went with a car racing game. | 0:03:39 | 0:03:44 | |
They use coding and programmes like this to create all | 0:03:44 | 0:03:47 | |
the different parts of the game. | 0:03:47 | 0:03:50 | |
This game, he smiles a lot when he plays them because he really | 0:03:50 | 0:03:57 | |
enjoys being able to play games with eye gaze rather than just | 0:03:57 | 0:04:00 | |
watching someone else play them. | 0:04:00 | 0:04:02 | |
OK, Max, the point of this game is to help you strengthen your eye | 0:04:02 | 0:04:05 | |
gaze for getting round the track. | 0:04:05 | 0:04:07 | |
Thanks to the games, Max has come away with new friends. | 0:04:07 | 0:04:10 | |
When I first met Max, I didn't really know how | 0:04:10 | 0:04:12 | |
to interact with him, but then when I started making this, | 0:04:12 | 0:04:15 | |
I started interacting a lot more with him. | 0:04:15 | 0:04:17 | |
Me and Max have a good friendship now. | 0:04:17 | 0:04:19 | |
They also entered the games they designed into a technology | 0:04:19 | 0:04:22 | |
competition and came a brilliant second place. | 0:04:22 | 0:04:27 | |
They say they're just glad Max has a new way to have fun | 0:04:27 | 0:04:30 | |
with his friends. | 0:04:30 | 0:04:32 | |
Before I go, there's just enough time to tell you that astronaut | 0:04:33 | 0:04:36 | |
Tim Peake is coming into Newsround HQ this Saturday! | 0:04:36 | 0:04:41 | |
We want your questions for him. | 0:04:41 | 0:04:43 | |
If you've ever wondered what it's like to be astronaut or how | 0:04:43 | 0:04:46 | |
to get his amazing job, then let us know. | 0:04:46 | 0:04:51 | |
That's all from me. | 0:04:52 | 0:04:53 | |
Newsround's back tomorrow morning at 7:40am. | 0:04:53 | 0:04:55 | |
Have a great afternoon. | 0:04:55 | 0:04:56 | |
Bye-bye. | 0:04:56 | 0:05:00 |
