18/01/2012 Newsround

Good afternoon, every body. You are watching Newsround. We have got a

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

latest on the captain accused of abandoning his sunken ship. And why

one of the world's largest search engines has gone missing. Last year

thousands of people died in Somalia, Ethiopia and Kenya after one of the

worst droughts in decades. It is thought 50,000 were young children.

Today a report has criticised governments for reacting too slowly.

They say thousands of people could have been saved if aid had got

there more quickly. In July last year news friend sent

me to Kenya. We travelled to the world's biggest refugee camp.

Daddab is home to hundreds of thousands of people who had escaped

the drought in Ethiopia and Somalia. Many families end up walking for

days to get here. I even met children like Mohammed who had to

make that journey on his own. How long has it taken him to get here?

18 days. More than two weeks. When we arrived the camp was more than

full. The situation had become increasingly desperate and aid

agencies said they were finding it difficult to cope. Six months on

Oxfam and Save The Children set up to 100,000 people may have been

saved if the world had acted sooner. The charities say warnings about

food shortages were given in August 2010, almost a year before a full-

scale response. People in Britain raised millions of pounds, but they

say it took too long for the money to get to the right places. There

were reasons, the 20 year war in Somalia meant it was difficult to

get aid to the people who really needed it. The governments of Kenya

and Ethiopia were also unwilling to him admit the scale of the disaster.

Today there are fresh warnings about a new famine in Niger, but

the charities and aid agencies hope a major crisis can be avoided by

reacting much more quickly. more on the capsized cruise ship in

Italy. A rescue operation to find 23 people had to be stopped today

because the ship started to sink further. Although more than 4000

people made it off the ship, 11 have died and one of the talking

points is about whether the captain could have done more. The Italian

coastguards speak to the captain of the Costa Concordia at minutes

after it tipped over. You can hear the coast guards telling the

captain to get back on board. on board, is that clear. Can you

hear me? It has led to accusations the captain abandoned his ship.

Should the person in charge be the last one to lead? In history there

have been lots of acts of heroism when the captain has stayed. The

most famous was the Titanic nearly 100 years ago. Captain Smith

remained on board and is thought to have died when it sank, but the man

who owned it escaped. But it is not just ships. Three years ago, an

American passenger plane had to land in the Hudson River in New

York and the pilot was treated like a hero after making sure he was the

last to leave. Although the rules changed from country to country,

there is no official rule that says the captain must stay on board. The

International Maritime Organisation says there is no punishment in law

for the captain who abandoned ship, but he is ultimately responsible

for the best of. It is accepted any captain should be off in case of an

emergency. He is under arrest and is accused of breaking the law. He

denies it, but the matter is now in the hands of the Italian

authorities. Next, in the last couple of hours protesters camped

outside St Paul's Cathedral have been told they have to lead. They

have been there since October campaigning against the weight big

banks use their money. But this afternoon at the court said it is

illegal for them to stay there any more. Where do you go to find out

Live's biggest questions? My mum has always got the answer. Lots of

other people use one of the world's biggest fact-finding website,

Wikipedia. But for 24 hours it has stopped searching leaving a lot

abusers scratching their heads. 25 million users in the UK every day

and Wikipedia is the place to go if you want to stay in the know. But

today many people have more questions than answers. Usually I

would type something into the search engine and we then a couple

of seconds get all the information I need. But today... I get this.

Instead of a page full of information, we are greeted with

this message. It is all part of a 24 hour blackout in protest against

plans for new laws in the US. Large bell and TV companies are asking

the American Government to change the way sides like Wikipedia and

Google work. They want to make it against the law event to provide

links to sites that are illegally streaming films and other TV

programmes. Well sites like Wikipedia agree that is wrong, they

say you should not be able to stop people looking for what they want

on the Internet. If you hear there is a great in -- invention called

an automobile and two years later you find out it is using being used

by a bank robbers, the answer is to deal with that problem. Wikipedia

should be back up and running tomorrow. You can sell access it on

your telephone or on foreign versions. But with Yahoo and

Facebook also campaigning against the new laws, the battle for how we

use the Web is settled to rumble on. One person who spent a lot of time

online is athlete James Ellington. You might remember as telling you

about how he auctioned himself on E Berry in a bid to raise more than

�30,000 so he could afford to train for the Olympics. He has found a

sponsor and is hoping to compete for Team GB in the 100 metres.

Finally, one Sport we will not be seeing. But people who do it I

really raising the "baaa-r". Yes, we are talking sheep shearing.

Sheep shearers say they are world- class athletes and the event should
