Hello, Leah here this Tuesday afternoon with today's top stories

:00:00.:00:00.

Find out why Hollywood actress Angelina Jolie is so scary.

:00:00.:00:18.

And, the chocolate artwork you can taste!

:00:19.:00:19.

But first, mobiles, tablets and laptops, you use them all the

:00:20.:00:27.

time to keep in touch with friends, play games and to go online.

:00:28.:00:31.

In fact, I bet many of you are even using yours right now?

:00:32.:00:35.

But little is actually known about how these devices affect young

:00:36.:00:38.

people's brains, so researchers are launching an investigation to

:00:39.:00:41.

How much do you use your mobile phone, laptop or smart device?

:00:42.:00:50.

If you're anything like me, it's probably quite a lot.

:00:51.:00:54.

70% of 11 and 12-year-olds now own a mobile in the UK.

:00:55.:00:59.

Scientists at the Imperial College of London say very little is known

:01:00.:01:02.

about how these devices can affect children and are launching a massive

:01:03.:01:06.

They are looking to recruit 2,500 kids from more than 160 secondary

:01:07.:01:14.

schools to see what impact the devices have on thinking

:01:15.:01:17.

We will look into whether children using mobile phones a lot might

:01:18.:01:30.

actually help to improve their memory, their ability to react

:01:31.:01:39.

quickly to different things that are going on in their environment and be

:01:40.:01:45.

able to think rapidly. We will also be looking at whether they might

:01:46.:01:51.

actually have a negative impact on children and their ability to focus

:01:52.:01:54.

and concentrate in the classroom, and to do their homework.

:01:55.:01:59.

The study will also look at the radio frequencies given

:02:00.:02:01.

off by these devices to see if they cause any bad health effects.

:02:02.:02:05.

But there's no evidence yet that it does cause any harm.

:02:06.:02:08.

The investigation will take three years,

:02:09.:02:10.

with the same kids being tested in Year Seven and again in Year Nine.

:02:11.:02:13.

It's hoped the results will help you think about how you use your tech

:02:14.:02:17.

Next up, forget your local park or playground,

imagine playing footy here, the Etihad Stadium in Manchester.

:02:22.:02:24.

It's something some of us can only dream of, but not if

Premier League referees. Very competitive. It has been played in

scenes. It was out of necessity, because other kids saw me in my

costume and they cried, so I had to cast the only child I knew who was

:04:35.:04:36.

five years old who would not cry. And our last story could easily be
