Hello, Team Newsround - welcome to your Thursday afternoon newsfest. | :00:20. | :00:24. | |
I'm Ricky. And I'm Leah - and here's what we've got in store for | :00:24. | :00:26. | |
you today. Find out why Leah's being followed | :00:26. | :00:30. | |
around by phone zombies. And we see what happens when art | :00:30. | :00:36. | |
But first to the fury that's been caused over those pictures of | :00:37. | :00:40. | |
Prince Harry without his clothes on. The snaps were taken at a private | :00:40. | :00:43. | |
party in a hotel and ended up online after an American gossip | :00:43. | :00:47. | |
website published them. Millions of people around the world have | :00:47. | :00:50. | |
already seen them, but Buckingham Palace has asked newspapers in this | :00:50. | :00:55. | |
country not to publish them to respect Harry's right to privacy. | :00:55. | :00:58. | |
I've been finding out why they're allowed to do that. | :00:58. | :01:02. | |
What the palace say isn't fair is that if the photos of the Prince | :01:02. | :01:05. | |
were put in newspapers for everyone to see, it would be an invasion of | :01:05. | :01:09. | |
Prince Harry's privacy. There are laws in this country that should | :01:09. | :01:13. | |
mean people have a right to keep details of their private lives just | :01:13. | :01:16. | |
that - private. With so much interest in celebrities and cameras | :01:16. | :01:19. | |
available on everyone's phones, anyone's got the ability to get | :01:19. | :01:28. | |
snaps of people in the public eye, But when people are in private | :01:28. | :01:31. | |
areas like their own home, they should have the right to keep what | :01:31. | :01:35. | |
goes on there to themselves. So, because the snaps of the Prince | :01:35. | :01:39. | |
were taken without his permission - in a hotel room, at a private party | :01:39. | :01:42. | |
- then newspapers don't have the right to publish them. | :01:42. | :01:45. | |
Earlier, I spoke to Paul Horrocks, who used to be the editor of the | :01:45. | :01:48. | |
Manchester Evening News. I started by asking him whether famous people | :01:48. | :01:56. | |
like Prince Harry can ever expect privacy. Everybody has a reasonable | :01:56. | :02:00. | |
expectation of privacy. If you are going to breach that, if you are | :02:00. | :02:05. | |
going to go against that rule, you've got to have a good reason to | :02:05. | :02:09. | |
do it. That the reason normally is what they call the public interest. | :02:09. | :02:14. | |
The public interest is about exposing wrongdoing, about exposing | :02:14. | :02:19. | |
people who may mislead or tell lies. This has got nothing to do with | :02:19. | :02:23. | |
that. But it is about what is and what is not private. People outside | :02:23. | :02:27. | |
in the Street, celebrities or otherwise, the Royal Family or | :02:27. | :02:32. | |
whoever, if it is a public place, they can be photographed. However, | :02:32. | :02:36. | |
if they choose to be in a private place like a hotel room or office, | :02:36. | :02:40. | |
somebody takes a picture, that is a problem. | :02:40. | :02:43. | |
All day on the website we've been asking you whether you think camera | :02:43. | :02:46. | |
phones are a good thing or whether they're bad for people's privacy. | :02:46. | :02:56. | |
:02:56. | :03:14. | ||
It's GCSE results day and thousands of teenagers in England, Wales and | :03:14. | :03:18. | |
Northern Ireland had nervous moments opening envelopes. For the | :03:18. | :03:22. | |
first time since the exams were brought in nearly 25 years ago, the | :03:22. | :03:26. | |
number of A star to C grades has dropped. Some people say it's | :03:26. | :03:29. | |
because there's pressure to be tougher on marking this year. By | :03:29. | :03:32. | |
the time lots of you sit the exams, they'll be different. From | :03:32. | :03:34. | |
September this year, there'll be less coursework and instead more | :03:34. | :03:40. | |
focus on exams, as well as on spelling, punctuation and grammar. | :03:40. | :03:42. | |
To South Africa now, where thousands of people have been | :03:42. | :03:45. | |
attending special services to remember the 44 people who died | :03:45. | :03:49. | |
during the recent protests there. Workers clashed with police at the | :03:49. | :03:53. | |
Marikana platinum mine about their pay. Just a warning - you might | :03:53. | :03:57. | |
find some of the details in my report upsetting. | :03:57. | :04:00. | |
This kind of violence is something people in South Africa had hoped | :04:00. | :04:03. | |
they'd put in the past. Last Thursday, 34 miners were killed by | :04:03. | :04:10. | |
police at a town in the north-east of the country. The protests had | :04:10. | :04:13. | |
been going on for a week, during which ten people and two policemen | :04:13. | :04:18. | |
had already been killed. The miners are protesting about how much they | :04:19. | :04:23. | |
get paid. They feel they should get more money for the work they do. | :04:23. | :04:26. | |
Mining underground is a dangerous job and most of these miners are | :04:26. | :04:30. | |
paid less than the average wage in the country. The police tried to | :04:30. | :04:33. | |
keep the protest under control, but the situation turned violent. | :04:33. | :04:36. | |
Protestors were armed with spears and big knives and are thought to | :04:36. | :04:40. | |
have charged the police, who began firing their guns. People across | :04:40. | :04:43. | |
the country are shocked and a big investigation has been launched to | :04:43. | :04:53. | |
:04:53. | :04:53. | ||
find out what happened. It is very heartbreaking for us to see them | :04:53. | :04:57. | |
killing them like that. They are working hard and they work -- want | :04:57. | :05:02. | |
money, but they can't get the money. This is a painful reminder of the | :05:02. | :05:05. | |
years of apartheid in South Africa. Apartheid was a system that kept | :05:05. | :05:08. | |
black and white people separate - with the whites in charge. The | :05:08. | :05:10. | |
government ruled the country harshly and violent clashes between | :05:10. | :05:13. | |
the police and the public were common. With more protests planned, | :05:13. | :05:21. | |
leaders are worried there could be more violence. We believe that | :05:21. | :05:28. | |
further deaths resulting from the protest, demonstrations, can be | :05:28. | :05:33. | |
avoided. If only they would listen. Many workers still refuse to go | :05:33. | :05:36. | |
back to work and with the mines losing business, there's no easy | :05:36. | :05:39. | |
solution. But leaders say South Africa must learn lessons from its | :05:39. | :05:43. | |
past and help people resolve their differences peacefully. | :05:43. | :05:46. | |
OK, time to talk about the Paralympics. We're just days away | :05:46. | :05:49. | |
from the opening ceremony and London is set to get even busier | :05:49. | :05:53. | |
because it's thought these will be the first Paralympics to sell out. | :05:53. | :05:56. | |
But if you're disabled, how easy is it to get to the Olympic Park? | :05:57. | :06:00. | |
Hayley spent the day with a young wheelchair user and met up with | :06:00. | :06:02. | |
Paralympic champion Tanni Grey- Thompson to put London's transport | :06:02. | :06:12. | |
:06:12. | :06:20. | ||
Hello, my name is Haley. Lovely to meet you. Tell me about yourself. | :06:20. | :06:25. | |
Her my name is Callum, I'm 11 and I live in Purley and I have cerebral | :06:25. | :06:28. | |
palsy so I have to be in a wheelchair. Her he is a difficult | :06:28. | :06:36. | |
for you to get around? My dad has to lift me off. I can get a bit | :06:36. | :06:42. | |
annoyed and frustrated. As a disabled person, you have to be | :06:42. | :06:47. | |
quite patient, which I don't find easy. You have to plan ahead. When | :06:47. | :06:51. | |
I'm on a train, I tell every single person in a uniform where I need to | :06:51. | :06:57. | |
get off. It should be that you can go wherever you want with no | :06:57. | :07:04. | |
trouble. London is famous for its red buses. What is your experience | :07:04. | :07:11. | |
of them? I was in London once and we were standing in rain. The bus | :07:11. | :07:16. | |
driver would not let us come on. He said there was no space for a | :07:16. | :07:22. | |
wheelchair. My mum and dad were angry. It is not all about public | :07:22. | :07:27. | |
transport. Sometimes pedestrian areas caused a problem. There's a | :07:27. | :07:35. | |
big bug which might be wheelchair can't get over. -- bump. Can you | :07:36. | :07:41. | |
see the Olympic rings? Yes. We have arrived at the Olympic Park. How do | :07:41. | :07:46. | |
you feel it has gone? Better than I expected because they had ramps. | :07:47. | :07:51. | |
you think this is especially for the Paralympics? Yes. They want to | :07:51. | :08:01. | |
make it better for wheelchair users. What do you hope would happen? | :08:01. | :08:04. | |
Want London to be more accessible. Make it easier for wheelchair users | :08:04. | :08:11. | |
to get around. Thank you. Now, when things are damaged, like | :08:11. | :08:15. | |
this holy painting of Jesus in a church in Spain, it's natural to | :08:15. | :08:18. | |
want to fix them up. But for one woman with good intentions, things | :08:18. | :08:22. | |
went a bit wrong. This is how the painting looked before it got | :08:22. | :08:25. | |
painting looked before it got damaged. So she decided to tidy | :08:25. | :08:30. | |
things up a bit, but this is what happened. The church reckon they | :08:31. | :08:34. | |
should be able to patch it up, but maybe she should hold off any more | :08:34. | :08:44. | |
:08:44. | :08:45. | ||
maybe she should hold off any more running repairs. I like it now! | :08:45. | :08:48. |
