0:00:04 > 0:00:06Hi, it's Ayshah here with your Tuesday afternoon Newsround.
0:00:06 > 0:00:09Stay tuned because you don't want to miss this.
0:00:09 > 0:00:13Catch that snitch - more on plans for a Quidditch Premier League.
0:00:13 > 0:00:17And catch that train - why steam power's making a mini-comeback.
0:00:26 > 0:00:27He's the world's most popular YouTuber,
0:00:27 > 0:00:30with more than 50 million subscribers.
0:00:30 > 0:00:33But it's not going too well for PewDiePie right now.
0:00:33 > 0:00:36He's been dropped by Disney and, this afternoon, YouTube's told us
0:00:36 > 0:00:39it's cancelling the release of the second series
0:00:39 > 0:00:41of his show, Scare PewDiePie.
0:00:41 > 0:00:45Here's what's going on.
0:00:45 > 0:00:47Hey.
0:00:47 > 0:00:50He's best known for his gaming and comedy videos.
0:00:50 > 0:00:52His sense of humour can be controversial,
0:00:52 > 0:00:55but that's what many of his fans like about him.
0:00:55 > 0:00:58Yep, you guessed it, we're talking about...
0:00:58 > 0:00:59Hey, hows it going, bros?
0:00:59 > 0:01:00My name's PewDiePie!
0:01:00 > 0:01:02But now a company called Maker Studios,
0:01:02 > 0:01:05which is part of Disney, has said it no longer wants
0:01:05 > 0:01:07to work with the YouTuber.
0:01:07 > 0:01:10It feels he's gone too far in recent videos,
0:01:10 > 0:01:12which contain things some people found offensive
0:01:12 > 0:01:16because they feel it's anti-Semitic.
0:01:16 > 0:01:19Anti-Semitism is when Jewish people are targeted
0:01:19 > 0:01:22or bullied because of their beliefs.
0:01:22 > 0:01:24Pewdiepie has responded by saying that he does not
0:01:24 > 0:01:26support hateful attitudes
0:01:26 > 0:01:29and that he didn't mean to offend people.
0:01:29 > 0:01:32The YouTuber will continue to make videos for his YouTube channel,
0:01:32 > 0:01:35but being dropped by Disney's Maker Studios
0:01:35 > 0:01:38is quite a big blow for him.
0:01:38 > 0:01:42Thank you, and as always, stay awesomesauce.
0:01:42 > 0:01:45Now how about this for a TREE-mendous mistake?
0:01:45 > 0:01:47These trees are part of a plan to boost nature
0:01:47 > 0:01:49in Aberdeenshire in Scotland.
0:01:49 > 0:01:51But the council's apologised after they were planted in the middle
0:01:51 > 0:01:54of a local football pitch!
0:01:54 > 0:01:55Oh, dear!
0:01:55 > 0:01:58I wonder if they are playing tree-a-side?
0:01:58 > 0:02:01Something you need more than three-a-side to play is Quidditch.
0:02:01 > 0:02:03Get ready to catch that snitch because a UK-wide
0:02:03 > 0:02:07Quidditch Premier League is set to start later this year
0:02:07 > 0:02:12and try-outs for teams are already taking place.
0:02:12 > 0:02:14There are no flying balls, witches and wizards
0:02:14 > 0:02:16or broomsticks here.
0:02:16 > 0:02:18This is Quidditch.
0:02:18 > 0:02:19Confused?
0:02:19 > 0:02:21Here are the rules.
0:02:21 > 0:02:23There are three chasers and a keeper who are trying
0:02:23 > 0:02:25to score with a quaffle, which is a slightly
0:02:25 > 0:02:27deflated volleyball, through one of three hoops.
0:02:27 > 0:02:29You can score either way through the hoop.
0:02:29 > 0:02:32There are two beaters, who are fighting for control
0:02:32 > 0:02:34of two of three dodgeballs.
0:02:34 > 0:02:36And lastly, there's the seeker, who is trying to catch the snitch,
0:02:36 > 0:02:38when the snitch is released onto the pitch
0:02:38 > 0:02:40at 17 minutes of game time.
0:02:40 > 0:02:42This game is inspired by the sport played by Harry
0:02:42 > 0:02:47and his friends in JK Rowling's Harry Potter stories.
0:02:47 > 0:02:50It's now played in 25 countries all over the world.
0:02:50 > 0:02:53So, what makes a good Quidditch player?
0:02:53 > 0:02:56The ability to laugh at yourself is always good.
0:02:56 > 0:02:59You can't take it too seriously, because at the end of the day
0:02:59 > 0:03:01we are running around with things between our legs.
0:03:01 > 0:03:03You've got to be athletic, sometimes games can go
0:03:03 > 0:03:06on for over an hour, just running up and down,
0:03:06 > 0:03:09sprinting back and forth.
0:03:09 > 0:03:12These guys are trying out for a new team that will be playing
0:03:12 > 0:03:15in the UK's Quidditch Premier League this summer.
0:03:15 > 0:03:18This is a big deal, it's going to be taking the best players
0:03:18 > 0:03:22across the country together to form super-teams to play each other
0:03:22 > 0:03:24all throughout the summer, leading to a big event
0:03:24 > 0:03:29where the champion of the Quidditch Premier League will be crowned.
0:03:29 > 0:03:31But why is the game so popular?
0:03:31 > 0:03:34It's very open and people are extremely nice.
0:03:34 > 0:03:37There's so many different positions, there's something to suit everyone.
0:03:37 > 0:03:40Like, I'm not so good at the physical side of it,
0:03:40 > 0:03:43I'm not clearly strong in any way.
0:03:43 > 0:03:46But I have got a decent throw on me, I can throw quite hard.
0:03:46 > 0:03:49With the right players, who knows, these guys just might be able
0:03:49 > 0:03:54to magic up a successful season.
0:03:54 > 0:03:56Now this might not be the Hogwarts Express,
0:03:56 > 0:03:57but it's kind of close...
0:03:57 > 0:03:59For the first time in nearly 50 years,
0:03:59 > 0:04:04a steam train is running a normal passenger service in the UK.
0:04:04 > 0:04:06Train fans are getting to ride the Tornado,
0:04:06 > 0:04:10between Skipton in North Yorkshire and Appleby in Cumbria.
0:04:10 > 0:04:11It's only for three days though
0:04:11 > 0:04:16to celebrate the reopening of the train line.
0:04:16 > 0:04:18If steam trains aren't your thing, then here are some more
0:04:18 > 0:04:20hi-tech engines.
0:04:20 > 0:04:22This is the lawn mower Ice Grand Prix in Finland.
0:04:22 > 0:04:26Competitors raced for a whopping 12 hours on a frozen lake.
0:04:26 > 0:04:29Temperatures were around -4 degrees Celsius,
0:04:29 > 0:04:33so just a bit nippy then!
0:04:33 > 0:04:36You can watch more of that lawn mower racing at Newsround online,
0:04:36 > 0:04:38where you can also find five facts about the woman
0:04:38 > 0:04:40rumoured to be taking over from Mary Berry

0:04:46 > 0:04:51on the International Space Station
0:04:51 > 0:04:54Well, all that's left to say is roses are red, violets are blue,
0:04:54 > 0:04:58thanks for watching, and have a great evening too!
