12/11/2012 Newsround

Hello and welcome to Newsround. It's just gone 5.00pm. Hayley and

Joe here with all the day's news, including: Girls Aloud are back.

know what we have got and we hope everybody else loves it, as well.

And, we go undercover at a duck But first, to a subject that we

talk about lots on Newsround - bullying. The charity ChildLine

says the number of children getting in touch with them to say they've

been bullied has gone up. Now they've hooked up with Facebook to

try and bring those numbers down. It's happening everywhere. On your

way to and from school, on the internet and on your phone. Child

Line say there's been a 34% rise this year in the number of children

saying they've been bullied and also an increase in bullying online

and your phone. It's thought one in four children of high school age

are affected. It's happening to some big stars,

too. Celebrities including Liam from One Direction have spoken

How do you stop children being bullied? Well, Childline have

joined forces with Facebook and developed a new app. When you sign

up and click on you get advice and support if you are being bullied.

This app is a step in the right direction. We were pleased when

Facebook contacted us because of their reach, they have 30 million

active users in the UK, many of which are young people. Kids on

Facebook have to be over 13 to use it, so if you are under 13 and

still getting bullied what what can be done? We have a website which

has message boards and advice and information and it has online

counselling which is where you can speak directly with a counsellor

and our counsellors are trained to understand different issues

children go through. This year the number of children bullied has been

going up in one direction. It's hoped with celebrities like Liam

and the new app the numbers could soon be going down.

Well, earlier we asked Facebook how worried they are about online

They say Facebook has no current plans to open up the site to under-

13s. If someone reports an underage account to us then we will remove

it, and try and prevent them signing up again.

Moving on, and in Afghanistan, a British soldier has been shot and

killed by a man dressed in Afghan army uniform. It happened yesterday,

on Remembrance Sunday, at an army base in Helmand province in the

south of the country. 438 British servicemen and women

have died in Afghanistan since 2001, but this year there's been a big

rise in attacks by Afghan soldiers and police officers. The BBC's

Caroline Wyatt, who's in Afghanistan, says there is little

doubt the attack was carried out by an Afghan soldier training with the

British Forces. Today there will be questions asked

and a lot of soul-sevening both among Afghan army but also in the

British Army here and widely at NATO as to what more can be done.

Both in the vetting process but also when people are working

closely together. Next - the BBC is one of the

biggest broadcasters in the world. It makes shows like Doctor Who,

Strictly and Deadly Sixty. And, also lots of news programmes like

BBC Breakfast, The One Show and, of course, Newsround. The organisation

is famous for being a trusted source of news all over the world,

but today it's at the centre of the news headlines itself. It all

started because one news programme made one of the worst mistakes

possible and accused someone of a crime they didn't commit. The head

of the BBC had to resign at the weekend and everyone's now talking

about what happens next. The British Broadcasting

Corporation brings us TV and radio shows watched and listened to by

millions of people in more than 200 countries around the world. It's

been broadcasting since 1922 and is paid for by everyone in the UK who

owns a TV through the licence fee. In return for that, the o promises

to make honest and trustworthy programmes. It's earned a

reputation for being one of the world's most trusted brands that's

why what's happening stphou so important. Two weeks ago, Newsnight,

a well-known BBC News programme, broadcast a report accusing a man

of a very serious crime. An accusation that has since turned

out not to be true. In newsround there are a team of journalists

working on each story, it's their job to check facts are right before

anything is broadcast in TV, radio or online. The programme that made

the mistake, Newsnight, this was not done and because of that the

whole of the BBC is in crisis. Programme-makers have apologised

for getting it wrong but that wasn't enough and on Saturday the

boss of the whole BBC, director general, George Entwistle resigned.

He felt responsible for such a serious mistake. Telling the truth

is hard, strenuous work and that's what we have the BBC to do and on

this one occasion it's failed. It can make it better. It can remedy

that but it's undoubtedly failed. It's a serious thing because it

breached its relationship with you, the audience. As a broadcaster,

paid for by all of us, the BBC is both well-loved and often

criticised by the British public who want the best from the money

they pay. After this scandal, people are demanding things change

so this kind of mistake doesn't happen again.

Now, go to any pond and you'll probably see people feeding the

ducks. But in Bolton ducks have been getting their beaks into an

unhealthy menu that's been making them ill. I've been to find how the

council there is fighting back. CCTV cameras are used to track

crimes and catch criminals around the world. They can target, focus,

and track in a matter of seconds. Nowhere are they more important

than here at this duck pond in central Bolton. The local council

have so fed up with people dumping their rubbish that they've taken to

installing spy equipment. The last thing we want is people dumping

their waste here and it was a problem from a fly-tipping point of

view, and also a health hazard for the ducks. This is the special spy

camera used to track criminals who are possibly tipping. It can be

used in the dark and used in the day. It can focus and it can track

and it's even a designed aerial that looks like a twig. Genius!

Since the CCTVs have been here they've spotted a number of tippers,

people dumping all sorts of rubbish, including food. The cameras have

even led to the arrest of this man after he dumped leftover takeaway

food and was fined over �200. curry is going to affect your tummy

after days, it will do same to the ducks. They could be infected, it's

going to bring rats and disease and could affect humans if that's lying

around ponds. If you want to feed ducks properly you can buy proper

food from shops or just use things like wheat or bird food. They're

happy to eat that and it's very good for them. Since installing the

cameras Bolton council have seen a decrease in the number of people

throwing rubbish and food in this pond. I must say, the ducks look

pretty healthy for it! They do. I thought bread is OK to

feed ducks? No, bread is bad for ducks. You should be feeding them

things like seeds and oats, things like wholegrain. Bread clogs them

up. It's like fast food for ducks. Girls Aloud fans, listen up! It's

Children in Need this Friday and the girls are singing this year's

official single. The band recently announced their reunion to mark

their 10th anniversary. They've got an album out this month and a tour

early next year. The girls have been talking for the first time

about how it feels to be making music as a group again. To have our

music out there again, it's nerve- racking, you always worry how it's

going to be perceived. We know what we have got and we hope everybody
