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.
