This is Newsround. Ricky in the studio this Tuesday afternoon. | :00:00. | :00:09. | |
On the way: A row over some of the characters in Moshi Monsters - we | :00:10. | :00:12. | |
find out why. And the ab-ZORB-ing pre-season | :00:13. | :00:22. | |
training for cricketers. But first, if you've ever wondered | :00:23. | :00:25. | |
what life was like as a soldier during World War One, from today you | :00:26. | :00:30. | |
can read it in their own words. Millions of pages of soldiers' | :00:31. | :00:33. | |
diaries, describing life in the trenches, are being made available | :00:34. | :00:44. | |
online. Ayshah's got this one. We are sitting outside our | :00:45. | :00:48. | |
headquarters trench in the sun. All should be nice and peaceful and | :00:49. | :00:54. | |
pretty, what it actually is is beyond description. Trenches, | :00:55. | :01:01. | |
tools, caps everywhere. The Germans quickly got their artillery into | :01:02. | :01:05. | |
position, and a considerable amount of shelling was experienced. Our | :01:06. | :01:09. | |
casualties in this engagement were slight. The words of a soldier in | :01:10. | :01:18. | |
the First World War, who served with a Welsh battalion. His diary has | :01:19. | :01:24. | |
been published for the first time online in an archive, along with | :01:25. | :01:28. | |
hundreds of soldiers from the First World War. They are going to make | :01:29. | :01:34. | |
over 1.5 million pages available in the next few years, and the Imperial | :01:35. | :01:38. | |
War Museum is to ring the same thing with their collection too. It is | :01:39. | :01:43. | |
really important to have these things online. It means we can | :01:44. | :01:47. | |
access them whenever we like and find out what life was like in the | :01:48. | :01:53. | |
First World War. This year marks 100 years from the start of the war, and | :01:54. | :01:57. | |
this is just one of the ways we will be remembering the sacrifices people | :01:58. | :02:01. | |
made for their countries. The diaries are available online, and if | :02:02. | :02:04. | |
you are going to check them out, remember that some of them contains | :02:05. | :02:09. | |
some pretty upsetting reflections on a war that claimed millions of | :02:10. | :02:11. | |
lives. People in Egypt are voting today and | :02:12. | :02:15. | |
tomorrow over a new set of rules for how their country should be run. | :02:16. | :02:18. | |
Egypt's president was removed from power by the army last summer, and | :02:19. | :02:21. | |
the temporary government in charge has now written up a fresh set of | :02:22. | :02:25. | |
rules. Hundreds of thousands of police and soldiers are on duty to | :02:26. | :02:28. | |
try to maintain control, but some groups are refusing to take part in | :02:29. | :02:32. | |
the vote, and there have been some clashes. | :02:33. | :02:34. | |
Next, Freakface and Fishlips. Just two of the characters from Moshi | :02:35. | :02:37. | |
Monsters which have been criticised by a charity that looks after people | :02:38. | :02:40. | |
with facial disfigurements - things like scars or spots. Changing Faces | :02:41. | :02:44. | |
is calling for people to sign a petition which they hope will force | :02:45. | :02:47. | |
the makers of Moshi Monsters to change the names of its bad guys. | :02:48. | :02:51. | |
I've been finding out why. It's one of the most popular gaming | :02:52. | :02:55. | |
sites for kids. And last year, the residents of Monstro City hit the | :02:56. | :02:59. | |
big screen with the release of their first movie. Like in lots of | :03:00. | :03:04. | |
animation, the baddies look a bit different, with bulging eyes and big | :03:05. | :03:08. | |
lips. But it's the names given to the characters that have caused a | :03:09. | :03:15. | |
problem for one charity. In particular, Fishlips is referred to | :03:16. | :03:21. | |
as a one eyed blob of badness. We think that those to scriptures and | :03:22. | :03:24. | |
names need to be changed. Changing Faces is worried that the villains | :03:25. | :03:27. | |
in Moshi Monsters like, Freakface, make kids connect disfigurement with | :03:28. | :03:30. | |
being bad and that could encourage bullying. Why are you singling out | :03:31. | :03:41. | |
Moshi Monsters? Our problem is with the baddies. Children's who have -- | :03:42. | :03:48. | |
children who have disfigurements are exposed to bullying wherever they | :03:49. | :03:52. | |
go, and we don't need to add to the armoury. Mind Candy, the company | :03:53. | :03:56. | |
that makes Moshi Monsters, says its online game has hundreds of monsters | :03:57. | :03:59. | |
with a range of characteristics. They say they're not alone when it | :04:00. | :04:02. | |
comes to giving villains quirky and unusual-looking visual | :04:03. | :04:06. | |
characteristics. Moshi Monsters have told us today that Freakface is not | :04:07. | :04:10. | |
a prominent character and they will not use him again in future | :04:11. | :04:15. | |
storylines. Does that satisfy you? That is interesting news. We have | :04:16. | :04:20. | |
not heard that. We want to see action now both to remove or change | :04:21. | :04:26. | |
the names of Freakface, Fishlips and Bruiser. Today, Mind Candy told me | :04:27. | :04:32. | |
they'll keep speaking to the Changing Faces to work things out. | :04:33. | :04:36. | |
Last up - do you ever find yourself playing footy and thinking, "This | :04:37. | :04:39. | |
isn't hard enough. How can I make it harder?" Me neither. But Hampshire | :04:40. | :04:42. | |
Cricket Club obviously did. They've just been filmed playing zorb | :04:43. | :04:45. | |
football. It's like normal footy, but players are inside giant plastic | :04:46. | :04:48. | |
bubbles. It also means they can run into each other! Don't try that at | :04:49. | :04:51. | |
home. That's all from me. Newsround's back | :04:52. | :04:54. | |
right here with more at 6:50pm. Bye! | :04:55. | :04:59. |
