:00:09. > :00:15.Hello and welcome to Newsround. It's just gone 5.00pm. Hayley and
:00:15. > :00:19.Joe here with all the day's news, including: Girls Aloud are back.
:00:19. > :00:29.know what we have got and we hope everybody else loves it, as well.
:00:29. > :00:40.
:00:40. > :00:43.And, we go undercover at a duck But first, to a subject that we
:00:43. > :00:46.talk about lots on Newsround - bullying. The charity ChildLine
:00:46. > :00:50.says the number of children getting in touch with them to say they've
:00:50. > :00:55.been bullied has gone up. Now they've hooked up with Facebook to
:00:55. > :01:01.try and bring those numbers down. It's happening everywhere. On your
:01:01. > :01:04.way to and from school, on the internet and on your phone. Child
:01:04. > :01:09.Line say there's been a 34% rise this year in the number of children
:01:09. > :01:12.saying they've been bullied and also an increase in bullying online
:01:12. > :01:17.and your phone. It's thought one in four children of high school age
:01:17. > :01:21.are affected. It's happening to some big stars,
:01:21. > :01:31.too. Celebrities including Liam from One Direction have spoken
:01:31. > :01:37.
:01:37. > :01:41.How do you stop children being bullied? Well, Childline have
:01:41. > :01:46.joined forces with Facebook and developed a new app. When you sign
:01:46. > :01:50.up and click on you get advice and support if you are being bullied.
:01:50. > :01:53.This app is a step in the right direction. We were pleased when
:01:53. > :01:56.Facebook contacted us because of their reach, they have 30 million
:01:56. > :02:01.active users in the UK, many of which are young people. Kids on
:02:01. > :02:05.Facebook have to be over 13 to use it, so if you are under 13 and
:02:05. > :02:09.still getting bullied what what can be done? We have a website which
:02:09. > :02:13.has message boards and advice and information and it has online
:02:13. > :02:16.counselling which is where you can speak directly with a counsellor
:02:16. > :02:21.and our counsellors are trained to understand different issues
:02:21. > :02:24.children go through. This year the number of children bullied has been
:02:24. > :02:27.going up in one direction. It's hoped with celebrities like Liam
:02:27. > :02:30.and the new app the numbers could soon be going down.
:02:30. > :02:40.Well, earlier we asked Facebook how worried they are about online
:02:40. > :02:51.
:02:51. > :02:54.They say Facebook has no current plans to open up the site to under-
:02:54. > :02:57.13s. If someone reports an underage account to us then we will remove
:02:57. > :03:00.it, and try and prevent them signing up again.
:03:00. > :03:03.Moving on, and in Afghanistan, a British soldier has been shot and
:03:03. > :03:06.killed by a man dressed in Afghan army uniform. It happened yesterday,
:03:06. > :03:08.on Remembrance Sunday, at an army base in Helmand province in the
:03:09. > :03:12.south of the country. 438 British servicemen and women
:03:12. > :03:18.have died in Afghanistan since 2001, but this year there's been a big
:03:18. > :03:20.rise in attacks by Afghan soldiers and police officers. The BBC's
:03:20. > :03:23.Caroline Wyatt, who's in Afghanistan, says there is little
:03:23. > :03:30.doubt the attack was carried out by an Afghan soldier training with the
:03:30. > :03:35.British Forces. Today there will be questions asked
:03:35. > :03:38.and a lot of soul-sevening both among Afghan army but also in the
:03:38. > :03:41.British Army here and widely at NATO as to what more can be done.
:03:41. > :03:49.Both in the vetting process but also when people are working
:03:49. > :03:52.closely together. Next - the BBC is one of the
:03:52. > :03:57.biggest broadcasters in the world. It makes shows like Doctor Who,
:03:57. > :04:02.Strictly and Deadly Sixty. And, also lots of news programmes like
:04:02. > :04:05.BBC Breakfast, The One Show and, of course, Newsround. The organisation
:04:05. > :04:08.is famous for being a trusted source of news all over the world,
:04:08. > :04:11.but today it's at the centre of the news headlines itself. It all
:04:11. > :04:14.started because one news programme made one of the worst mistakes
:04:14. > :04:17.possible and accused someone of a crime they didn't commit. The head
:04:17. > :04:21.of the BBC had to resign at the weekend and everyone's now talking
:04:21. > :04:24.about what happens next. The British Broadcasting
:04:24. > :04:29.Corporation brings us TV and radio shows watched and listened to by
:04:29. > :04:33.millions of people in more than 200 countries around the world. It's
:04:33. > :04:40.been broadcasting since 1922 and is paid for by everyone in the UK who
:04:40. > :04:43.owns a TV through the licence fee. In return for that, the o promises
:04:43. > :04:47.to make honest and trustworthy programmes. It's earned a
:04:47. > :04:52.reputation for being one of the world's most trusted brands that's
:04:52. > :04:55.why what's happening stphou so important. Two weeks ago, Newsnight,
:04:55. > :04:59.a well-known BBC News programme, broadcast a report accusing a man
:04:59. > :05:04.of a very serious crime. An accusation that has since turned
:05:04. > :05:07.out not to be true. In newsround there are a team of journalists
:05:07. > :05:12.working on each story, it's their job to check facts are right before
:05:12. > :05:15.anything is broadcast in TV, radio or online. The programme that made
:05:15. > :05:19.the mistake, Newsnight, this was not done and because of that the
:05:19. > :05:22.whole of the BBC is in crisis. Programme-makers have apologised
:05:22. > :05:29.for getting it wrong but that wasn't enough and on Saturday the
:05:29. > :05:32.boss of the whole BBC, director general, George Entwistle resigned.
:05:32. > :05:37.He felt responsible for such a serious mistake. Telling the truth
:05:37. > :05:43.is hard, strenuous work and that's what we have the BBC to do and on
:05:43. > :05:46.this one occasion it's failed. It can make it better. It can remedy
:05:46. > :05:49.that but it's undoubtedly failed. It's a serious thing because it
:05:49. > :05:53.breached its relationship with you, the audience. As a broadcaster,
:05:54. > :05:57.paid for by all of us, the BBC is both well-loved and often
:05:57. > :06:00.criticised by the British public who want the best from the money
:06:00. > :06:09.they pay. After this scandal, people are demanding things change
:06:10. > :06:12.so this kind of mistake doesn't happen again.
:06:13. > :06:15.Now, go to any pond and you'll probably see people feeding the
:06:16. > :06:19.ducks. But in Bolton ducks have been getting their beaks into an
:06:19. > :06:24.unhealthy menu that's been making them ill. I've been to find how the
:06:24. > :06:28.council there is fighting back. CCTV cameras are used to track
:06:28. > :06:33.crimes and catch criminals around the world. They can target, focus,
:06:33. > :06:37.and track in a matter of seconds. Nowhere are they more important
:06:37. > :06:41.than here at this duck pond in central Bolton. The local council
:06:41. > :06:45.have so fed up with people dumping their rubbish that they've taken to
:06:45. > :06:51.installing spy equipment. The last thing we want is people dumping
:06:51. > :06:56.their waste here and it was a problem from a fly-tipping point of
:06:56. > :06:59.view, and also a health hazard for the ducks. This is the special spy
:06:59. > :07:03.camera used to track criminals who are possibly tipping. It can be
:07:03. > :07:08.used in the dark and used in the day. It can focus and it can track
:07:08. > :07:13.and it's even a designed aerial that looks like a twig. Genius!
:07:13. > :07:16.Since the CCTVs have been here they've spotted a number of tippers,
:07:16. > :07:21.people dumping all sorts of rubbish, including food. The cameras have
:07:21. > :07:29.even led to the arrest of this man after he dumped leftover takeaway
:07:29. > :07:34.food and was fined over �200. curry is going to affect your tummy
:07:34. > :07:38.after days, it will do same to the ducks. They could be infected, it's
:07:38. > :07:42.going to bring rats and disease and could affect humans if that's lying
:07:42. > :07:46.around ponds. If you want to feed ducks properly you can buy proper
:07:46. > :07:51.food from shops or just use things like wheat or bird food. They're
:07:51. > :07:55.happy to eat that and it's very good for them. Since installing the
:07:55. > :07:59.cameras Bolton council have seen a decrease in the number of people
:07:59. > :08:03.throwing rubbish and food in this pond. I must say, the ducks look
:08:04. > :08:08.pretty healthy for it! They do. I thought bread is OK to
:08:08. > :08:16.feed ducks? No, bread is bad for ducks. You should be feeding them
:08:16. > :08:26.things like seeds and oats, things like wholegrain. Bread clogs them
:08:26. > :08:27.
:08:27. > :08:30.up. It's like fast food for ducks. Girls Aloud fans, listen up! It's
:08:30. > :08:33.Children in Need this Friday and the girls are singing this year's
:08:33. > :08:36.official single. The band recently announced their reunion to mark
:08:36. > :08:39.their 10th anniversary. They've got an album out this month and a tour
:08:39. > :08:44.early next year. The girls have been talking for the first time
:08:44. > :08:48.about how it feels to be making music as a group again. To have our
:08:48. > :08:52.music out there again, it's nerve- racking, you always worry how it's
:08:52. > :08:57.going to be perceived. We know what we have got and we hope everybody
