Hi, I'm Hayley with your Newsround update.

:00:00.:00:00.

The video game being taught in lessons.

:00:00.:00:11.

How new technology can help people who can't walk.

:00:12.:00:19.

First, one million tonnes of rock have been blasted away

:00:20.:00:21.

from the top of a mountain in Chile, in South America. Why?

:00:22.:00:24.

To make a flat spot to build the world's biggest ever telescope.

:00:25.:00:27.

It's called - wait for it - the European Extremely Large Telescope.

:00:28.:00:33.

It will have a huge mirror, made up of nearly 800 hexagon-shaped parts,

:00:34.:00:37.

which will allow scientists to see deeper into space than ever before.

:00:38.:00:43.

Well, the Longitude prize is asking the public to vote which one

:00:44.:00:49.

of six big world problems the money should be spent on trying to solve.

:00:50.:00:53.

Today's topic is Paralysis, and how the money could be spent improving

:00:54.:00:56.

the lives of people who can't walk. Here's Jenny.

:00:57.:01:05.

Over the last few decades are ability to help people with physical

:01:06.:01:12.

disabilities has improved a lot, but for people who are paralysed a

:01:13.:01:16.

wheelchair is still the best way to get around. There are 50,000

:01:17.:01:18.

wheelchair is still the best way to in the UK who are

:01:19.:01:20.

wheelchair is still the best way to the moment the possibility of

:01:21.:01:25.

repairing spire and -- spinal injuries is a long way off. Could

:01:26.:01:32.

engineering or robotics help? Sophie is testing a new device which offers

:01:33.:01:36.

her a chance to stand and walk independently. It was very surreal

:01:37.:01:44.

to select the opportunity to stand. I have not seen the view before! We

:01:45.:01:52.

all know that standing and walking is good for you, human beings were

:01:53.:01:55.

designed to move around in an upright position. But these

:01:56.:02:01.

exoskeletons need to be smaller, lighter and faster. As time goes on

:02:02.:02:07.

we will see a lot more fluid movement, a lot more balance, and

:02:08.:02:13.

certainly a reduction in size. The aim is to see the user, not the

:02:14.:02:19.

machine. There is also a hope that people could use machines like this

:02:20.:02:25.

just with their thoughts, and mind controlled robots are already in

:02:26.:02:32.

development. This is just one of the innovations put forward for the

:02:33.:02:33.

longer chewed prize. -- Longitude. Next, lots of you might play video

:02:34.:02:46.

games during your break times at school and when you get home

:02:47.:02:49.

but can you imagine being encouraged Well, more than 200 schools in the

:02:50.:02:52.

UK are doing exactly that, playing a special version of Minecraft

:02:53.:02:57.

in lessons to help them learn. It's thought

:02:58.:02:59.

the game could help children engage in class and help with subjects

:03:00.:03:01.

like maths, science and English. England have lost to Uruguay and

:03:02.:03:10.

moved closer to an early exit from the World Cup. Luis Suarez scored

:03:11.:03:19.

both goals. I am bitterly disappointed that everybody. We came

:03:20.:03:21.

with such high hopes disappointed that everybody. We came

:03:22.:03:25.

been able to deliver. It is a major sadness for me. I don't think we let

:03:26.:03:37.

the country down. We made a mistake with Luis Suarez's second goal and

:03:38.:03:38.

that has put us out. Leah's been in Rio for Newsround to

:03:39.:03:41.

cover all the footy action hosting such a massive tournament

:03:42.:03:44.

has affected people living there. to see what life is like living in

:03:45.:03:48.

Brazil. Brazil is a fascinating country,

:03:49.:03:58.

full of energy and colour. During that time I have tried to capture

:03:59.:04:03.

some of that by taking lots of pictures on my phone, but now I want

:04:04.:04:08.

to find out what it is like growing up here as a kid and whether hosting

:04:09.:04:13.

the World Cup has had an impact on their lives. Overall half 1 million

:04:14.:04:18.

foot all fans are expected to do visit Brazil during the World Cup,

:04:19.:04:24.

so what is it like to have the world's biggest football show on

:04:25.:04:28.

your doorstep? I am very glad to have the World Cup in Brazil, many

:04:29.:04:33.

people are coming here to visit the games, I hope to make friends from

:04:34.:04:41.

other countries. I only see Argentines. They have a lot of

:04:42.:04:44.

trailers and cars, they love the whole. Brazil has its problems.

:04:45.:04:51.

Crime is a big worry for kids in the big cities. A lot of things worry me

:04:52.:04:56.

because we don't know what is going to happen in the next five minutes,

:04:57.:05:01.

the next day, the next few weeks. We need to have some precaution. Some

:05:02.:05:12.

people say that Ozil is very safe but we know it is not. Thieves can

:05:13.:05:20.

rub you any time. But just like back in the UK these boys have hopes and

:05:21.:05:27.

dreams for the future. I want to be a journalist because I write and

:05:28.:05:32.

speak very well. I would like to be an airline pilot. Although these

:05:33.:05:40.

boys live more than 5000 miles from most of you, their lives perhaps

:05:41.:05:42.

have more in common than you might think.

:05:43.:05:48.

That's all from me, Newsround's back at 4:20 this afternoon.

:05:49.:05:51.

And head over to the website to send us your questions for
