:00:00. > :00:07.Hi guys. Ayshah here with how you can make sure you're in fashion

:00:08. > :00:10.thanks to a new study about beards. Plus the super specs that can

:00:11. > :00:19.convince people you're paying attention. This is Newsround.

:00:20. > :00:24.But first to the warning that Ukraine could be on the brink of

:00:25. > :00:27.civil war. There's been lots of unrest there over the last few

:00:28. > :00:30.months but today tensions are rising fast. Ukrainian troops have started

:00:31. > :00:33.a fight back against armed groups who want nearby Russia to have more

:00:34. > :00:41.control in the country. Here's Ricky with more. Tanks like these have

:00:42. > :00:47.been spotted in east Ukraine. They are from the Ukrainian army but not

:00:48. > :00:50.everyone wants them here. In recent days armed pro-Russian groups have

:00:51. > :00:54.taken over government buildings and airports in ten towns and cities.

:00:55. > :00:58.Those groups want Ukraine to be closer to Russia. But now Ukraine's

:00:59. > :01:04.army says it's going to fight back and stop that from happening.

:01:05. > :01:07.Overnight they took back an important airfield from pro-Russian

:01:08. > :01:10.fighters. But many local people don't trust the Ukrainian government

:01:11. > :01:16.and don't want Ukrainian soldiers in their towns and cities. In the city

:01:17. > :01:23.of Kramatorsk, Ukrainian army tanks were stopped in the road, the BBC's

:01:24. > :01:27.reporter James Reynolds was there. This morning I saw an awful lot of

:01:28. > :01:34.shouting between Ukrainian army and the gunmen who like Russia. Nobody

:01:35. > :01:38.really knows how it's going to end. Some pub -- Biddle worry about there

:01:39. > :01:42.being a big war but ordinary people around here having their lunch,

:01:43. > :01:45.feeding the pigeons, they say they don't want war. They love the

:01:46. > :01:49.Ukraine and they also love their neighbour, Russia. And this shows

:01:50. > :01:51.how complicated the conflict is. In the city of Donetsk pro-Russian

:01:52. > :01:54.groups continued their takeover, invading the town hall. Russia's

:01:55. > :01:59.president Vladimir Putin's warned Ukraine's on the verge of a full

:02:00. > :02:04.civil war. But the UK and America say he is to blame for many of the

:02:05. > :02:07.recent problems. The worry for people watching the crisis is that

:02:08. > :02:14.having troops from two sides in the same area makes this a very

:02:15. > :02:17.dangerous moment for Ukraine. Thanks, Ricky. There's loads more on

:02:18. > :02:20.the background to everything that's happened during the Ukraine crisis

:02:21. > :02:24.so far on the Newsround website right now. And that's also where you

:02:25. > :02:28.can find out all the Heartbleed computer bug. It's hit the headlines

:02:29. > :02:34.recently after affecting android devices, computers and big internet

:02:35. > :02:37.companies like Google and Facebook. Heartbleed is a flaw that allows

:02:38. > :02:42.hackers to get access to sensitive information via the websites we use.

:02:43. > :02:45.Most of them have fixed the problem now but no one knows how much info

:02:46. > :02:51.hackers might have gathered. Experts say you should change your passwords

:02:52. > :02:56.just to be safe. Now the latest trends are hard to keep up with. But

:02:57. > :02:59.if you've ever worried that you always seem to be getting into

:03:00. > :03:02.things just as they're going out of fashion don't worry. The people

:03:03. > :03:07.behind a new scientific study on beards say there's a good reason for

:03:08. > :03:11.it. Here's Nel. Bushy ones, cropped ones, shaped ones. Beards have come

:03:12. > :03:14.in all shapes and sizes over the centuries, and recently it seems

:03:15. > :03:18.that having facial hair is back in fashion. A whole host of celebrities

:03:19. > :03:27.have jumped on the beardy bandwagon making them THE coolest must-have

:03:28. > :03:30.for men. That does more people growing facial fuzz actually mean

:03:31. > :03:33.it's starting to lose its appeal? Researchers in australia certainly

:03:34. > :03:36.think so. They showed people different pictures of faces and

:03:37. > :03:40.found the more beards they saw, the less cool they thought they were.

:03:41. > :03:43.Something that feeds into a much wider issue, that when things become

:03:44. > :03:51.really popular people no longer like them. Fashion is a combo gated thing

:03:52. > :03:58.and will be interesting dynamics comes of genetics, and what that

:03:59. > :04:01.means is things which are rare, enjoyed a currency. They are more

:04:02. > :04:05.attractive when they are rare than if those same things were common. So

:04:06. > :04:08.the next time you think you're setting a new trend by doing

:04:09. > :04:11.something a little bit different, just beware. Because the minute

:04:12. > :04:19.everyone joins in there's a chance it will go from brilliant to boring.

:04:20. > :04:23.I like that hat. You can join the chat on what's cool and what's not

:04:24. > :04:26.on the website right now. And we'll hear what you've had to say back

:04:27. > :04:29.here at 6.50pm. But last up, if you've ever struggled to look like

:04:30. > :04:33.you're paying attention when you're not then listen up. A professor in

:04:34. > :04:37.Japan has come up with a set of super specs to solve that problem.

:04:38. > :04:40.They have two computer generated eyes that react to the the person

:04:41. > :04:50.who's talking to you and make you seem interested and focused, even if

:04:51. > :04:55.you're actually miles away. That's very interesting. That's your lot.

:04:56. > :04:57.Newsround's back at 6.50pm. Bye bye.
