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 | :05:52. | :05:55. |
