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.
