:00:00. > :00:10.Leah here, with your top stories live this Tuesday afternoon.

:00:11. > :00:13.We meet the latest Esports superstars, and...

:00:14. > :00:24.Say hello to Julia - Sesame Street's big new character.

:00:25. > :00:28.First, one of the most important people in Northern Ireland has died.

:00:29. > :00:31.Martin McGuinness was Deputy First Minister

:00:32. > :00:37.He was a significant figure who once supported violence

:00:38. > :00:39.in Northern Ireland, but later helped bring peace there.

:00:40. > :00:52.Northern Ireland. One of the foraging nations that make up the

:00:53. > :00:56.United Kingdom. It is a place which has been mostly peaceful for almost

:00:57. > :01:01.20 years. In the years before that, life was very different. The country

:01:02. > :01:05.was divided, and torn apart by a conflict known as the Troubles.

:01:06. > :01:07.There were bombs going off, there were bomb scares.

:01:08. > :01:11.We might be going into the city centre, and you would have had

:01:12. > :01:18.So, was it scary when you went in Belfast with your

:01:19. > :01:22.It was and it wasn't, because you became so used to it.

:01:23. > :01:25.But I remember being in Belfast with my granny and I was maybe

:01:26. > :01:28.about your age, and I was running down the street because there

:01:29. > :01:34.You live a very different way than I did in Northern Ireland.

:01:35. > :01:39.At this time, Martin McGuiness supported violence in

:01:40. > :01:46.Northern Ireland as a way to bring about change.

:01:47. > :01:52.Martin McGuinness always wanted to achieve one thing. He wanted

:01:53. > :01:56.Northern Ireland to no longer be a part of the United Kingdom, but

:01:57. > :02:01.instead a part of Ireland. When he was a young man, he tried to achieve

:02:02. > :02:04.that by being a senior figure in something called the Irish

:02:05. > :02:10.Republican Army, the IRA. The IRA killed lots of people and frightened

:02:11. > :02:15.many more. But as Mr Maginnis got older, he turned to peace and to

:02:16. > :02:19.talking. That's why some people love him and other people hate him. But

:02:20. > :02:24.there is no doubt he is a massively important figure in the history of

:02:25. > :02:25.Northern Ireland, and rose to be one of its most senior politicians, the

:02:26. > :02:28.Deputy First Minister. And if you want to find out more

:02:29. > :02:31.about Martin McGuinness and Northern Ireland,

:02:32. > :02:33.there's lots of information online. Now, you might recognise some

:02:34. > :02:35.of these players behind me from French football team Paris St

:02:36. > :02:37.Germain. But they've had a big

:02:38. > :02:39.new signing recently, and the strange thing is,

:02:40. > :02:41.they won't even set We've been speaking

:02:42. > :02:53.to some of the players Have you heard about football giant

:02:54. > :02:58.Paris Saint-Germain's top new signing? No. Well, it's not one

:02:59. > :03:04.player, it's a whole team. This is the club's new Esports team. They

:03:05. > :03:08.live and train full-time in Germany. Most kids, they have the dream of

:03:09. > :03:11.becoming one day a professional video game player. The funny thing

:03:12. > :03:18.is, they don't actually play a football game. We went to the

:03:19. > :03:21.stadium, we met the players, and everything is cool. It is one of the

:03:22. > :03:30.best things that I've ever done. They play. League Of Legends, the

:03:31. > :03:35.world's most popular video game. So what does a professional video game

:03:36. > :03:42.do? The image of the game in his room playing at nights, it is not

:03:43. > :03:45.true for professional gamers. We always give priority to the team

:03:46. > :03:50.over an individual trying to become a star. We have to practise for 14

:03:51. > :03:55.hours a day. There is a lot of strategic thinking also that you

:03:56. > :04:03.have to do. I really believe that Esports is going to be the next

:04:04. > :04:09.thing, as big as a football. In the work of League Of Legends, you can

:04:10. > :04:11.see stadiums which are full. I would invite you to just watch a match, it

:04:12. > :04:13.is really amazing. Next, more should be done to protect

:04:14. > :04:16.England's old trees. The Woodland Trust says they should

:04:17. > :04:18.have the same rights They say that having more trees

:04:19. > :04:22.is good for our health Finally, meet a new character who's

:04:23. > :04:26.being welcomed on to the famous Her name is Julia,

:04:27. > :04:31.and the interesting thing about her is that she has autism,

:04:32. > :04:34.which means she sees the world a bit differently to other people, and can

:04:35. > :04:38.find it difficult to communicate. Newsround is back

:04:39. > :04:49.tomorrow with Ricky. Hey, lifebabblers, today we're

:04:50. > :05:12.talking about a feeling we all experience sometimes, but one which

:05:13. > :05:18.is usually not very nice - jealousy. So whether you feel a little pang

:05:19. > :05:22.every now and again
