Good afternoon everyone, Hayley here with your Saturday headlines.

:00:14.:00:15.

For disappointed England fans, we'll bring you the most interesting

:00:16.:00:20.

teams to get behind for the rest of the World Cup.

:00:21.:00:22.

And, why one of the ocean's top predators is making a comeback.

:00:23.:00:25.

First, all day today the England fans

:00:26.:00:28.

among you have been telling us who you'll be supporting after England

:00:29.:00:31.

Their fate was sealed when Costa Rica beat Italy 1-0 last night.

:00:32.:00:36.

Jacob says he's rooting for Ivory Coast because of his favourite

:00:37.:00:39.

But Faisal told us he loves Brazil's astonishing skills.

:00:40.:00:46.

So who are the biggest entertainers to get behind for the rest of

:00:47.:00:50.

The Netherlands have certainly grabbed everyone's attention.

:00:51.:01:02.

Many are now backing the flying Dutchmen to win.

:01:03.:01:06.

Then, there's France, another giant of European football,

:01:07.:01:08.

They destroyed Switzerland 5-2 and put three past Honduras.

:01:09.:01:17.

Can the mighty Karim Benzema get his team all the way to the final?

:01:18.:01:24.

Maybe you're not that into football and fancy some karaoke instead.

:01:25.:01:27.

If so,then Ghana are definitely the team for you.

:01:28.:01:31.

Colombia's most famous export might be the singer Shakira.

:01:32.:01:36.

But their football team's hips definitely don't lie either.

:01:37.:01:41.

If you love to dance, these guys' moves are sure to get you going.

:01:42.:01:48.

Everyone loves an underdog and this year Chile is the team to fall for.

:01:49.:01:51.

They've already knocked out the reigning champions, Spain.

:01:52.:01:54.

So the other big boys had better watch out.

:01:55.:02:08.

England fans don't despair, there's still loads of fun to be had!

:02:09.:02:17.

Loads of you have been in touch telling us who you'll be

:02:18.:02:20.

Loads of you are going for Costa Rica, including Joseph,

:02:21.:02:23.

who says they're the underdogs in this World Cup.

:02:24.:02:25.

Liam's getting behind Argentina, because they have Messi,

:02:26.:02:27.

Aguero and Di Maria, and he loves their style of play.

:02:28.:02:30.

Junior's cheering for Portugal because they need loads

:02:31.:02:31.

of support to win their next match after they lost 4-0 to Germany.

:02:32.:02:34.

Whoever you're following there's still plenty

:02:35.:02:37.

Today, Lionel Messi's Argentina take on Iran at 5.00pm.

:02:38.:02:41.

Then it's Germany up against Ghana at 8.00pm.

:02:42.:02:43.

We finish with Jon Obi Mikel's Nigeria

:02:44.:02:44.

against Bosnia Herzegovina, that's the late game at 11.00pm tonight.

:02:45.:02:51.

Good news, the numbers of great white sharks living in the

:02:52.:02:54.

That's according to scientists in the United States who have been

:02:55.:02:59.

They believe the shark's growing numbers are due

:03:00.:03:05.

to conservation efforts and greater availability of food.

:03:06.:03:08.

Some experts think the population of white sharks in the area is now

:03:09.:03:11.

Cars that spy on other cars might sound

:03:12.:03:18.

These spy cars aren't being used for anything that exciting,

:03:19.:03:24.

But now many of them are being banned after

:03:25.:03:29.

The cars work by filming a car parked illegally and, without

:03:30.:03:37.

any warning, a fine of up to ?80 would be sent to the owner's house.

:03:38.:03:41.

Lots of people said that councils were issuing them too often

:03:42.:03:44.

and that too many fines were being sent in the post.

:03:45.:03:47.

But many councils say that the CCTV cars are to help pedestrians

:03:48.:03:50.

From now on, the cars will only be used

:03:51.:03:57.

near schools and on bus lanes and instead traffic wardens will have to

:03:58.:04:02.

So you won't see as many around, but maybe we can send them to

:04:03.:04:12.

somewhere like Gotham City - Batman is sure to make better use of them.

:04:13.:04:17.

If you had the chance to solve a big problem in the world,

:04:18.:04:20.

The Longitude Prize is a huge science challenge

:04:21.:04:23.

and voting is taking place to decide which of the six big world problems

:04:24.:04:26.

scientists should tackle for a chance to win ?10 million.

:04:27.:04:28.

This week we've been looking at the six big issues.

:04:29.:04:31.

Today, it's how can we fly without damaging the environment?

:04:32.:04:33.

Many scientists say if we want to avoid dangerous climate change we

:04:34.:04:45.

need to cut down the carbon emissions we release into the air by

:04:46.:04:48.

a huge amount. There is no single solution, but there is one type of

:04:49.:04:52.

transport that releases lots and lots of carbon emissions, air

:04:53.:04:57.

travel. Scientists have to find an alternative way to power planes.

:04:58.:05:02.

There aren't many solutions yet, but this plane, made by a steeple in

:05:03.:05:07.

Eastern Europe, is one of the most eco-friendly in the world. This

:05:08.:05:12.

plane uses no fuel to fly. In fact it has batteries, which you charge,

:05:13.:05:17.

just like a mobile phone, it uses an electric motor to produce thrust to

:05:18.:05:22.

take off and stay in the air. It doesn't release harmful gases into

:05:23.:05:25.

the atmosphere. It's really green. We see a lot of electric cars today,

:05:26.:05:31.

why not electric planes? Batteries are the heavy bit in the vehicle.

:05:32.:05:34.

When it comes to aeroplanes you need to lift it up into the sky. The

:05:35.:05:40.

battery for 100 passenger aeroplane would be way too big with current

:05:41.:05:46.

technology. Scientists will have to build a plane that can go from

:05:47.:05:50.

London to Edinburgh at similar speeds to today's planes, but with

:05:51.:05:57.

almost no carbon emissions. That's all from me. Newsround is back in

:05:58.:06:00.

the morning. See you

:06:01.:06:01.
