:00:26. > :00:32.Good afternoon, every body. You are watching Newsround. We have got a

:00:32. > :00:37.feast of the day's most delicious news. On the menu: We will have the

:00:37. > :00:42.latest on the captain accused of abandoning his sunken ship. And why

:00:42. > :00:48.one of the world's largest search engines has gone missing. Last year

:00:48. > :00:54.thousands of people died in Somalia, Ethiopia and Kenya after one of the

:00:54. > :00:58.worst droughts in decades. It is thought 50,000 were young children.

:00:58. > :01:03.Today a report has criticised governments for reacting too slowly.

:01:03. > :01:07.They say thousands of people could have been saved if aid had got

:01:07. > :01:12.there more quickly. In July last year news friend sent

:01:12. > :01:16.me to Kenya. We travelled to the world's biggest refugee camp.

:01:16. > :01:21.Daddab is home to hundreds of thousands of people who had escaped

:01:21. > :01:26.the drought in Ethiopia and Somalia. Many families end up walking for

:01:26. > :01:34.days to get here. I even met children like Mohammed who had to

:01:34. > :01:40.make that journey on his own. How long has it taken him to get here?

:01:40. > :01:45.18 days. More than two weeks. When we arrived the camp was more than

:01:45. > :01:51.full. The situation had become increasingly desperate and aid

:01:51. > :01:55.agencies said they were finding it difficult to cope. Six months on

:01:55. > :02:00.Oxfam and Save The Children set up to 100,000 people may have been

:02:00. > :02:06.saved if the world had acted sooner. The charities say warnings about

:02:06. > :02:11.food shortages were given in August 2010, almost a year before a full-

:02:11. > :02:16.scale response. People in Britain raised millions of pounds, but they

:02:16. > :02:21.say it took too long for the money to get to the right places. There

:02:21. > :02:25.were reasons, the 20 year war in Somalia meant it was difficult to

:02:25. > :02:31.get aid to the people who really needed it. The governments of Kenya

:02:31. > :02:36.and Ethiopia were also unwilling to him admit the scale of the disaster.

:02:37. > :02:41.Today there are fresh warnings about a new famine in Niger, but

:02:41. > :02:46.the charities and aid agencies hope a major crisis can be avoided by

:02:46. > :02:52.reacting much more quickly. more on the capsized cruise ship in

:02:52. > :02:56.Italy. A rescue operation to find 23 people had to be stopped today

:02:56. > :03:01.because the ship started to sink further. Although more than 4000

:03:01. > :03:08.people made it off the ship, 11 have died and one of the talking

:03:08. > :03:12.points is about whether the captain could have done more. The Italian

:03:12. > :03:16.coastguards speak to the captain of the Costa Concordia at minutes

:03:16. > :03:21.after it tipped over. You can hear the coast guards telling the

:03:21. > :03:29.captain to get back on board. on board, is that clear. Can you

:03:29. > :03:34.hear me? It has led to accusations the captain abandoned his ship.

:03:34. > :03:39.Should the person in charge be the last one to lead? In history there

:03:39. > :03:44.have been lots of acts of heroism when the captain has stayed. The

:03:44. > :03:48.most famous was the Titanic nearly 100 years ago. Captain Smith

:03:48. > :03:54.remained on board and is thought to have died when it sank, but the man

:03:54. > :03:58.who owned it escaped. But it is not just ships. Three years ago, an

:03:58. > :04:03.American passenger plane had to land in the Hudson River in New

:04:03. > :04:07.York and the pilot was treated like a hero after making sure he was the

:04:07. > :04:13.last to leave. Although the rules changed from country to country,

:04:14. > :04:18.there is no official rule that says the captain must stay on board. The

:04:18. > :04:22.International Maritime Organisation says there is no punishment in law

:04:22. > :04:29.for the captain who abandoned ship, but he is ultimately responsible

:04:29. > :04:37.for the best of. It is accepted any captain should be off in case of an

:04:37. > :04:40.emergency. He is under arrest and is accused of breaking the law. He

:04:40. > :04:45.denies it, but the matter is now in the hands of the Italian

:04:45. > :04:50.authorities. Next, in the last couple of hours protesters camped

:04:50. > :04:53.outside St Paul's Cathedral have been told they have to lead. They

:04:53. > :04:58.have been there since October campaigning against the weight big

:04:58. > :05:02.banks use their money. But this afternoon at the court said it is

:05:02. > :05:09.illegal for them to stay there any more. Where do you go to find out

:05:09. > :05:14.Live's biggest questions? My mum has always got the answer. Lots of

:05:14. > :05:19.other people use one of the world's biggest fact-finding website,

:05:19. > :05:25.Wikipedia. But for 24 hours it has stopped searching leaving a lot

:05:25. > :05:31.abusers scratching their heads. 25 million users in the UK every day

:05:31. > :05:36.and Wikipedia is the place to go if you want to stay in the know. But

:05:36. > :05:39.today many people have more questions than answers. Usually I

:05:39. > :05:47.would type something into the search engine and we then a couple

:05:47. > :05:51.of seconds get all the information I need. But today... I get this.

:05:51. > :05:57.Instead of a page full of information, we are greeted with

:05:57. > :06:02.this message. It is all part of a 24 hour blackout in protest against

:06:02. > :06:06.plans for new laws in the US. Large bell and TV companies are asking

:06:06. > :06:11.the American Government to change the way sides like Wikipedia and

:06:11. > :06:16.Google work. They want to make it against the law event to provide

:06:16. > :06:20.links to sites that are illegally streaming films and other TV

:06:20. > :06:24.programmes. Well sites like Wikipedia agree that is wrong, they

:06:24. > :06:30.say you should not be able to stop people looking for what they want

:06:30. > :06:35.on the Internet. If you hear there is a great in -- invention called

:06:35. > :06:41.an automobile and two years later you find out it is using being used

:06:41. > :06:45.by a bank robbers, the answer is to deal with that problem. Wikipedia

:06:45. > :06:51.should be back up and running tomorrow. You can sell access it on

:06:51. > :06:55.your telephone or on foreign versions. But with Yahoo and

:06:55. > :07:00.Facebook also campaigning against the new laws, the battle for how we

:07:00. > :07:05.use the Web is settled to rumble on. One person who spent a lot of time

:07:06. > :07:11.online is athlete James Ellington. You might remember as telling you

:07:11. > :07:16.about how he auctioned himself on E Berry in a bid to raise more than

:07:16. > :07:20.�30,000 so he could afford to train for the Olympics. He has found a

:07:20. > :07:26.sponsor and is hoping to compete for Team GB in the 100 metres.

:07:26. > :07:33.Finally, one Sport we will not be seeing. But people who do it I

:07:33. > :07:38.really raising the "baaa-r". Yes, we are talking sheep shearing.

:07:38. > :07:44.Sheep shearers say they are world- class athletes and the event should
