Good morning, Ricky here with why filming footy on your phone's | :00:00. | :00:00. | |
Plus, the match called off because of cattle! | :00:07. | :00:17. | |
But first to a new generation of robots that could help construct | :00:18. | :00:20. | |
buildings and even reach victims of disasters. | :00:21. | :00:22. | |
These kilobots are based on insects and designed to work together. | :00:23. | :00:27. | |
This swarm of robots can form different shapes without humans | :00:28. | :00:37. | |
In the animal kingdom, insects, birds and fish work as part | :00:38. | :00:43. | |
of a team to find food and protect each other. | :00:44. | :00:46. | |
These robots have been designed to do the same. | :00:47. | :00:49. | |
They interact with each other to form these patterns. | :00:50. | :00:53. | |
Each kilobot, as they're called, is the size of a penny. | :00:54. | :00:57. | |
To create something like this, four lead robots are placed where | :00:58. | :01:00. | |
The other robots communicate with these leaders to find | :01:01. | :01:05. | |
They can sense each other to avoid colliding, just like animals do. | :01:06. | :01:18. | |
There are all sorts of reasons to use these, two years ago during the | :01:19. | :01:25. | |
Olympics in London, it was suggested that we could use lots of tiny bomb | :01:26. | :01:30. | |
detecting robots, sending out swarms of robots that would be no bigger | :01:31. | :01:34. | |
than a small toy car, or if you were at a music festival, you could have | :01:35. | :01:39. | |
these robots following around the largest groups of people and making | :01:40. | :01:43. | |
sure that they all had plenty of Internet access so everyone could | :01:44. | :01:45. | |
upload their pictures and Internet videos. | :01:46. | :01:47. | |
These robots could one day be sent into dangerous situations | :01:48. | :01:49. | |
like a natural disaster, searching for survivors, | :01:50. | :01:51. | |
or much further into space, looking for life on another planet. | :01:52. | :01:54. | |
Next, the Premier League says it's cracking down on fans who film footy | :01:55. | :01:57. | |
highlights on their phones and upload them online. | :01:58. | :02:00. | |
League bosses are warning people that sharing clips | :02:01. | :02:02. | |
from live matches, or footage from games on TV, is illegal. | :02:03. | :02:06. | |
Loads of clips were shared on social media during the World Cup | :02:07. | :02:09. | |
but the Premier League says that breaks rights rules. | :02:10. | :02:12. | |
The move's been criticised by some fans. | :02:13. | :02:16. | |
Frankly, ordinary fans videoing a moment of | :02:17. | :02:19. | |
excitement or some other point of interest and putting it on YouTube | :02:20. | :02:22. | |
or whatever is not a threat to the Premier League's media rights. | :02:23. | :02:25. | |
Let's relax a bit, let's recognise that social media has altered the | :02:26. | :02:29. | |
world, and that what ordinary fans is simply doing is trying to promote | :02:30. | :02:33. | |
A day before the start of the Premier League season, | :02:34. | :02:41. | |
Crystal Palace manager Tony Pulis has already lost his job. | :02:42. | :02:44. | |
It's just the start of nine months of high drama, | :02:45. | :02:46. | |
It's fair to say that sport this summer has been pretty epic. | :02:47. | :02:58. | |
Now the time has come for the return of the Premier League. | :02:59. | :03:12. | |
So far, over 16,500 games have been played. | :03:13. | :03:23. | |
22,704 goals have been scored, that's nearly 1000 goals per season. | :03:24. | :03:30. | |
Chelsea, Man United, Man City, Arsenal and Blackburn. | :03:31. | :03:40. | |
This season could be one of the best in history. | :03:41. | :03:44. | |
There'll be a new ball, guaranteed goals. | :03:45. | :03:48. | |
Plus, new players, new managers and new look teams. | :03:49. | :03:58. | |
Last year's champions, Man City, will be aiming to secure | :03:59. | :04:01. | |
their first ever consecutive Premier League title. | :04:02. | :04:05. | |
Chelsea, Arsenal and Liverpool have spent a combined total of over ?120 | :04:06. | :04:11. | |
million, that means superstars such as Alexis Sanchez, Cesc Fabregas | :04:12. | :04:17. | |
and Diego Costa will be coming to a ground near you soon. | :04:18. | :04:19. | |
And don't forget about the newly promoted teams, Leicester, | :04:20. | :04:22. | |
If you thought last season was exciting, | :04:23. | :04:28. | |
Be prepared for the sackings, skills, heartbreak, | :04:29. | :04:37. | |
Just time to bring you news of a football match that | :04:38. | :04:45. | |
This bunch of rampaging MOO-ligans couldn't resist munching | :04:46. | :04:49. | |
on the grass that two sides in Peru were playing on. | :04:50. | :04:52. | |
Eventually the referees were able to MOOOOVE them along! | :04:53. | :04:56. | |
That's all from me, Newsround's back right here in about half an hour. | :04:57. | :04:59. |
