It's Tuesday morning, Ayshah here with your Newsround headlines.

:00:09.:00:10.

Smart technology which could change the way severely

:00:11.:00:13.

Goals, Goals, goals - the latest results from the World Cup.

:00:14.:00:23.

In recent days an Islamic extremist group called ISIS, which has links

:00:24.:00:30.

to Al-Qaeda, has taken control of large areas of the country.

:00:31.:00:33.

The situation is getting worse and now the US is sending military

:00:34.:00:36.

personnel to help protect people working at their embassy and move

:00:37.:00:38.

UK politicians are also looking into how to respond.

:00:39.:00:45.

This isn't the first time there's been big problems in the country.

:00:46.:00:55.

Britain and America invaded Iraq in 2003 and got rid of the

:00:56.:00:57.

They said he was dangerous and treated his own people badly.

:00:58.:01:05.

But not everyone agreed with the decision - millions

:01:06.:01:08.

of people took to the streets across the UK to protest against it.

:01:09.:01:12.

But the British Prime Minister at the time, Tony Blair, decided to go

:01:13.:01:15.

What was meant to be a straightforward mission turned

:01:16.:01:20.

More than 4500 American troops died and the UK lost 179 servicemen

:01:21.:01:26.

No-one knows for sure how many Iraqis died

:01:27.:01:32.

The battle in Iraq became very unpopular for politicians in the UK

:01:33.:01:39.

and US, with many people questioning why the countries were involved

:01:40.:01:42.

Most British troops left by 2011, and the hope was that Iraq could

:01:43.:01:50.

rebuild itself - but when they left, the country was still split

:01:51.:01:55.

into different groups which cannot get along.

:01:56.:02:01.

Now the world is in shock because Islamic militants called ISIS have

:02:02.:02:04.

ISIS is an offshoot of Al-Qaeda. It wants to establish a religious state

:02:05.:02:22.

and has taken part of a larger part of Syria. This is increasingly

:02:23.:02:30.

becoming a regional problem, not just a problem in one country.

:02:31.:02:40.

No-one is expecting British or American troops to go back to Iraq,

:02:41.:02:42.

but both governments say they need to do something to stop the

:02:43.:02:45.

Next, new rules have been announced on how much fried food will be on

:02:46.:02:49.

From January next year, dinners will have to include one

:02:50.:02:53.

portion of vegetables every day and no more than two portions of

:02:54.:02:56.

The size of fruit juice servings will be limited and drinking

:02:57.:03:01.

The new rules have been designed to promote healthy eating.

:03:02.:03:04.

We are going to give everybody a hot, healthy meal at lunchtime. If

:03:05.:03:14.

you are a parent paying for your son or daughter's school lunch you could

:03:15.:03:21.

:03:46.:03:47.

The specs are still in development, so they aren't available to buy yet.

:03:48.:03:51.

The organisation representing blind people, the RNIB,

:03:52.:03:52.
