It's Wednesday 17th October, I'm Leah and he's Ricky. You're live

with Newsround. On today's show: Racism rears its ugly head in

football again. The robots that show emotions, just like us. And we

show your crazy inventions to the Fees are great ideas are. Good

ideas. Powerful ideas! Keep But first - it seems the problem of

racism in football is never far from the headlines. There's been

calls today for Serbia to get a long ban from playing international

football, after ugly scenes in last night's Under-21s European

qualifier against England. The FA's complained to UEFA because they say

Serbian supporters chanted racist abuse and threw coins, stones, and

even seats - at England's players. But the Serbian FA's denied there

was any racism. As I've been finding out, this isn't the first

time Serbia's been in trouble for These were the celebrations as

England's youngsters qualified for next summer's European

Championships. England are through under a barrage to of missiles!

should have been a night to remember, but instead it's one we'd

prefer to forget as we saw the nastier side of football. Seats and

coins were thrown from the stands and fans invaded the pitch. And the

Serbian players and officials were doing very little to calm things

down. It's left manager Stuart Pearce very disappointed. I never

like to see any football matches end like that, this is a sporting

arena. It's not the first time Serbia have been accused of

racially abusing an England player. Rewind five years and these scenes

look all too familiar. A match between the two countries at the

2007 Under-21 European Championship in Holland was overshadowed when

England defender Nedum Onuoha was racially abused. Back then UEFA

were criticised for fining Serbia just �16,000 after that incident.

But a lot of people are suggesting a fine simply isn't enough anymore.

So what can be done? In this situation it is down to Uefa and

FIFA to actually have a positive, direct action. We are hoping they

will instigate a robust investigation. It is all about

education, trying to bring all aspects of football together, there

should be zero tolerance to racism or any form of discrimination in

the game. Now England hasn't been without its fair share of criticism

in the past, but we've moved on a long way since then and many people

say it's time to get tough. Sticking with footy, and England's

senior team are in the second half of their World Cup qualifier

against Poland, after the match was postponed last night. Really heavy

rain turned the pitch into something more like a swimming pool

yesterday evening, so the match is being played right now. Good news,

England a 1-0 up after a goal from Wayne Rooney. Next, poachers have

killed record numbers of rhino in South Africa already this year,

with more than 450 animals wiped out. Five years ago, just 13 rhino

were killed in 2007 but since then there's been a massive increase in

the illegal hunting. The animals are being targeted because their

horns sell for lots of money, because they're used in traditional

medicine all over Asia. scientists say there's no proof

rhino horn has any medical benefits. Next - robots. They're becoming

more and more like humans, but could they ever have feelings and

emotions as we do? It sounds like fantasy but as I've been finding

out, this weird future may be closer than we think.

Many of us will know the movie Wall-E - a story about a robot who

has emotions. But could science fiction like this soon become

reality? Well, this is Dora - a robot designed by scientists to

help around the home. She's meeting hundreds of secondary school kids

who've come to ask experts what robots could be like in the future

- just a few years from now. Would you say that a robot could ever

have a personality? Absolutely! And robots will behave in different

ways to stop you might have a stubborn robots, daring Robarts,

robot that can make mistakes. tell you that I'm sad, mad,

confused. These robots have been made with living brain cells from a

rat! Their creator says they can learn and think - and one day

robots could even have human brain cells. If you had a robot with the

brain of a rat, would it think like a rat? Maybe they'll not only think

but they'll be conscious and we have to think about giving them

rights and should they vote in elections? If robots can pray who

would they pray to? God I think would have a relationship with a

robot and a robot may be able to pray but I do think it'll be a very

different relationship to the one we have with Him. In August this

hospital in Northern Ireland started using a robot that lets

doctors treat patients remotely. And this month we told you about

the sick boy in America who's sent a robot to school in his place. And

who knows - maybe one day Newsround will even be presented by robots!

I'd better watch out. Imagine that - robotic Newsround presenters.

- how would you like having to stay longer at school? No? I thought not,

but what if it meant you didn't have any homework? Well the French

President, Francois Hollande says it's unfair that some kids get help

with their homework when others don't. He says schooldays in France

should be a bit longer so all the work can be done in class, not at

home. Well we've been asking you if you reckon it'd work over here, and

Thanks very much for those. Frankenweenie hits the big screens

today. It's the new movie from Tim Burton, one of Hollywood's most

famous directors. It's about a boy who invents a machine to bring his

pet dog back to life. You might remember a few weeks ago we said we

would put your wacky invention ideas to Tim Burton and the rest of

the cast, and as promised, Joe did Thank you for talking to us. You

have done loads of films about in Densham. It has got our imagination

running wild. Future mad scientist! Rebecca from Derby says she would

invent the no-score helmet. It tells you what you would have

learned in school say you don't have to go. Sounds like my kind of

invention, I wish she had invented This is from London, I did think

You don't need a mushroom powered aeroplane. When you are 18 years

old, you can say I am a grown-up now, no more mushrooms! This one is

from Cornwall. A I would invent a contact lens that leads you take

pictures by blinking. I always knew Another one from Bethan in

Staffordshire. Her invention would be a machine that when you put a

book with a picture of your favourite character, they come out

of the other end and lasts for 24 hours. A careful what you read! Oh

my God! So there you have it. A collection of wacky inventions to

go with one of the wackiest storms around. And head over to the NR

website to see Joe's review of the movie. Wonder what he thought of
