Hi guys. Ayshah here with how you can make sure you're in fashion

:00:00.:00:07.

thanks to a new study about beards. Plus the super specs that can

:00:08.:00:10.

convince people you're paying attention. This is Newsround.

:00:11.:00:19.

But first to the warning that Ukraine could be on the brink of

:00:20.:00:24.

civil war. There's been lots of unrest there over the last few

:00:25.:00:27.

months but today tensions are rising fast. Ukrainian troops have started

:00:28.:00:30.

a fight back against armed groups who want nearby Russia to have more

:00:31.:00:33.

control in the country. Here's Ricky with more. Tanks like these have

:00:34.:00:41.

been spotted in east Ukraine. They are from the Ukrainian army but not

:00:42.:00:47.

everyone wants them here. In recent days armed pro-Russian groups have

:00:48.:00:50.

taken over government buildings and airports in ten towns and cities.

:00:51.:00:54.

Those groups want Ukraine to be closer to Russia. But now Ukraine's

:00:55.:00:58.

army says it's going to fight back and stop that from happening.

:00:59.:01:04.

Overnight they took back an important airfield from pro-Russian

:01:05.:01:07.

fighters. But many local people don't trust the Ukrainian government

:01:08.:01:10.

and don't want Ukrainian soldiers in their towns and cities. In the city

:01:11.:01:16.

of Kramatorsk, Ukrainian army tanks were stopped in the road, the BBC's

:01:17.:01:23.

reporter James Reynolds was there. This morning I saw an awful lot of

:01:24.:01:27.

shouting between Ukrainian army and the gunmen who like Russia. Nobody

:01:28.:01:34.

really knows how it's going to end. Some pub -- Biddle worry about there

:01:35.:01:38.

being a big war but ordinary people around here having their lunch,

:01:39.:01:42.

feeding the pigeons, they say they don't want war. They love the

:01:43.:01:45.

Ukraine and they also love their neighbour, Russia. And this shows

:01:46.:01:49.

how complicated the conflict is. In the city of Donetsk pro-Russian

:01:50.:01:51.

groups continued their takeover, invading the town hall. Russia's

:01:52.:01:54.

president Vladimir Putin's warned Ukraine's on the verge of a full

:01:55.:01:59.

civil war. But the UK and America say he is to blame for many of the

:02:00.:02:04.

recent problems. The worry for people watching the crisis is that

:02:05.:02:07.

having troops from two sides in the same area makes this a very

:02:08.:02:14.

dangerous moment for Ukraine. Thanks, Ricky. There's loads more on

:02:15.:02:17.

the background to everything that's happened during the Ukraine crisis

:02:18.:02:20.

so far on the Newsround website right now. And that's also where you

:02:21.:02:24.

can find out all the Heartbleed computer bug. It's hit the headlines

:02:25.:02:28.

recently after affecting android devices, computers and big internet

:02:29.:02:34.

companies like Google and Facebook. Heartbleed is a flaw that allows

:02:35.:02:37.

hackers to get access to sensitive information via the websites we use.

:02:38.:02:42.

Most of them have fixed the problem now but no one knows how much info

:02:43.:02:45.

hackers might have gathered. Experts say you should change your passwords

:02:46.:02:51.

just to be safe. Now the latest trends are hard to keep up with. But

:02:52.:02:56.

if you've ever worried that you always seem to be getting into

:02:57.:02:59.

things just as they're going out of fashion don't worry. The people

:03:00.:03:02.

behind a new scientific study on beards say there's a good reason for

:03:03.:03:07.

it. Here's Nel. Bushy ones, cropped ones, shaped ones. Beards have come

:03:08.:03:11.

in all shapes and sizes over the centuries, and recently it seems

:03:12.:03:14.

that having facial hair is back in fashion. A whole host of celebrities

:03:15.:03:18.

have jumped on the beardy bandwagon making them THE coolest must-have

:03:19.:03:27.

for men. That does more people growing facial fuzz actually mean

:03:28.:03:30.

it's starting to lose its appeal? Researchers in australia certainly

:03:31.:03:33.

think so. They showed people different pictures of faces and

:03:34.:03:36.

found the more beards they saw, the less cool they thought they were.

:03:37.:03:40.

Something that feeds into a much wider issue, that when things become

:03:41.:03:43.

really popular people no longer like them. Fashion is a combo gated thing

:03:44.:03:51.

and will be interesting dynamics comes of genetics, and what that

:03:52.:03:58.

means is things which are rare, enjoyed a currency. They are more

:03:59.:04:01.

attractive when they are rare than if those same things were common. So

:04:02.:04:05.

the next time you think you're setting a new trend by doing

:04:06.:04:08.

something a little bit different, just beware. Because the minute

:04:09.:04:11.

everyone joins in there's a chance it will go from brilliant to boring.

:04:12.:04:19.

I like that hat. You can join the chat on what's cool and what's not

:04:20.:04:23.

on the website right now. And we'll hear what you've had to say back

:04:24.:04:26.

here at 6.50pm. But last up, if you've ever struggled to look like

:04:27.:04:29.

you're paying attention when you're not then listen up. A professor in

:04:30.:04:33.

Japan has come up with a set of super specs to solve that problem.

:04:34.:04:37.

They have two computer generated eyes that react to the the person

:04:38.:04:40.

who's talking to you and make you seem interested and focused, even if

:04:41.:04:50.

you're actually miles away. That's very interesting. That's your lot.

:04:51.:04:55.

Newsround's back at 6.50pm. Bye bye.

:04:56.:04:57.
