It's Thursday morning and this is your live Newsround update.

:00:07.:00:11.

In today's programme we're looking at what's been happening in Belgium.

:00:12.:00:24.

Tributes have continued overnight, as people come together to remember

:00:25.:00:26.

the victims of the attacks on Belgium's capital,

:00:27.:00:28.

In London last night, landmarks were lit up in the colours

:00:29.:00:37.

People also continued to gather in a central square

:00:38.:00:41.

Anna Foster sent this report especially for Newsround.

:00:42.:00:46.

This is a place called the Place de la Bourse,

:00:47.:00:49.

a big public square right in the middle of Brussels.

:00:50.:00:53.

You can see hundreds of people have come out here today,

:00:54.:00:55.

They have put big flags on these steps here.

:00:56.:00:59.

They've got balloons as well in the same colours,

:01:00.:01:05.

and if you look down here you can see all of the candles that people

:01:06.:01:08.

have brought to light, and there are big tubs of chalk

:01:09.:01:11.

as well and people are writing messages.

:01:12.:01:13.

There are lots of children who have come here as well to remember

:01:14.:01:16.

the people who were caught up in the attacks here yesterday.

:01:17.:01:23.

Lots of people came overnight tonight to light candles as well.

:01:24.:01:25.

Lots of people have come from work with flowers.

:01:26.:01:27.

The children were back at school today but lots of them were quiet

:01:28.:01:30.

for a minute earlier today, to remember the people

:01:31.:01:33.

who were caught up and involved in those attacks here

:01:34.:01:35.

As you saw there, it's not just grown ups who are visiting

:01:36.:01:42.

Many children have gone there as well, from all over the world.

:01:43.:01:49.

TRANSLATION: I am here to show my sympathy with the families

:01:50.:02:00.

We want to show that we are sad, and we are also

:02:01.:02:04.

Well, the extremist group who call themselves IS have said they carried

:02:05.:02:09.

So I've been looking in to who they are and what is being

:02:10.:02:13.

done to try and keep people safe from them.

:02:14.:02:16.

IS are a group based in the Middle East, mainly

:02:17.:02:18.

They have extreme religious beliefs and use brutal violence

:02:19.:02:21.

against anyone who doesn't agree with their views.

:02:22.:02:24.

They claim to follow the religion of Islam but many people

:02:25.:02:26.

say their beliefs of hatred and violence have little to do

:02:27.:02:29.

with Islam and what the majority of Muslims believe.

:02:30.:02:34.

Since early 2014 IS has grown quickly, using the internet

:02:35.:02:36.

and social media to recruit followers and spread fear.

:02:37.:02:39.

They've been able to take over large parts of Syria and neighbouring

:02:40.:02:42.

Iraq, declaring this their own state and punishing anyone who doesn't

:02:43.:02:44.

Lots of different groups are fighting in Syria,

:02:45.:02:52.

and nations around the world can't agree on who they want to control

:02:53.:02:55.

What does unite most of the world is the desire to stop

:02:56.:03:01.

IS because of how violent their methods are.

:03:02.:03:07.

IS claimed they carried out the attacks in Paris,

:03:08.:03:09.

the capital of France, last year, and also the attacks in the Belgian

:03:10.:03:12.

Last year, the UK joined the US and France in bombing some areas

:03:13.:03:19.

The UK's Prime Minister David Cameron argued,

:03:20.:03:26.

in Parliament, that bombing IS was one way to try to stop them.

:03:27.:03:30.

But some people feel that the bombs also affect too many innocent people

:03:31.:03:36.

living in Syria and that the UK shouldn't be involved.

:03:37.:03:39.

Following the attacks on Brussels, there has been extra security put

:03:40.:03:42.

in place across the UK and other parts of Europe,

:03:43.:03:44.

with police forces working together to try and keep people safe.

:03:45.:03:51.

If you have questions about what's happened in Brussels head online

:03:52.:03:54.

We'll be putting them to the BBC's security expert Frank

:03:55.:04:00.

And if you're upset by anything you hear

:04:01.:04:05.

on the news there's advice online too.

:04:06.:04:12.

Now, the people of New Zealand have been voting about whether or not

:04:13.:04:15.

they should change their national flag.

:04:16.:04:17.

The results of the vote have just been announced,

:04:18.:04:26.

and it loks like they have decided to stick with their old flag

:04:27.:04:29.

which shows four stars and the Union Jack.

:04:30.:04:33.

The final result will be delivered next Wednesday.

:04:34.:04:38.

To footy now, and Wales and Northern Ireland meet in Cardiff

:04:39.:04:41.

tonight for a friendly game ahead of this summer's Euros.

:04:42.:04:44.

Both teams have waited a long time to reach a major competition,

:04:45.:04:47.

but Wales - who will play Ukraine on Monday -

:04:48.:04:49.

will be missing two star players, Gareth Bale and Aaron Ramsey,

:04:50.:04:52.

Here's how manager Wales manager Chris Coleman feels

:04:53.:04:55.

Two important games for us, as it always is.

:04:56.:05:00.

I know everybody says, you know, two friendly games,

:05:01.:05:02.

but I've never ever gone into a game for Wales thinking that it doesn't

:05:03.:05:05.

matter, and neither do the players, so it is a big one for us.

:05:06.:05:10.

More football next - but with a difference.

:05:11.:05:13.

The winners of the Fifa Interactive World Cup were announced

:05:14.:05:15.

British video game fanatic Sean Allen came second place,

:05:16.:05:22.

losing out to Danish player, Mohammed Al-Bacha.

:05:23.:05:28.

So I actually came in as late replacement, only last Tuesday

:05:29.:05:31.

was when I actually got the confirmation that

:05:32.:05:33.

So it's all been a surreal week for me, and I came in second -

:05:34.:05:37.

obviously that's a great result but I'm devastated I didn't

:05:38.:05:40.

Finally, this could be the cutest thing you'll see all day.

:05:41.:05:43.

Five cheetah cubs who were orphaned just after they were born

:05:44.:05:46.

The cubs are enjoying cuddling up with Blakely, a five-year-old male

:05:47.:05:51.

He's stepped in to keep the cubs warm, and he even lets them climb

:05:52.:05:56.
