:00:00. > :00:10.Hi, guys, Jenny here, live from Newsround HQ with all the big
:00:11. > :00:15.stories this Sunday. On the way, how Prince Harry is preparing for his
:00:16. > :00:18.sub-zero South Pole trek. The Team GB athletes gunning for World Cup
:00:19. > :00:23.glory. This is Newsround.
:00:24. > :00:30.Let's start in Syria, though. A new report says that the war there has
:00:31. > :00:33.had a catastrophic effect on children. A study by the Oxford
:00:34. > :00:36.Research Group says that more than 11,000 kids have been killed since
:00:37. > :00:40.the civil war between government troops and rebels who want to force
:00:41. > :00:47.them out of power, which started in 2011. Researchers say that figures
:00:48. > :00:51.could be much higher as there are still many areas they cannot reach.
:00:52. > :00:54.They have called on both sides to stop bombing schools and targeting
:00:55. > :00:57.ordinary people. Britain is sending six more planes
:00:58. > :01:00.full of aid to help millions of people affected by Typhoon Haiyan in
:01:01. > :01:02.the Philippines. The UK government is going to spend ?50 million to
:01:03. > :01:04.the Philippines. The UK government help those in badly affected areas.
:01:05. > :01:10.It will include sending food, medicine and almost 1500 tents. More
:01:11. > :01:12.than 5000 people are thought to have died in the disaster, with many
:01:13. > :01:15.still missing. Next to the Antarctic trek with
:01:16. > :01:18.Royal approval. Prince Harry is making the final preparations for a
:01:19. > :01:23.mammoth 200-mile journey to the South Pole, all to raise money for a
:01:24. > :01:25.cause close to his heart. Battering winds, sub-zero
:01:26. > :01:29.temperatures and slippery sheet ice - just some of the challenges Prince
:01:30. > :01:35.Harry will have to contend with on his epic mission to the South Pole.
:01:36. > :01:38.The soldier Prince is undertaking the 200-mile trek to raise money for
:01:39. > :01:41.injured ex-servicemen and women through the Walking With The Wounded
:01:42. > :01:44.charity. Since the team touched down at the starting point on Friday
:01:45. > :01:49.they've been busy finalising kit, routes and getting used to the
:01:50. > :01:58.sub-zero temperatures. Harry says the testing weather has affected the
:01:59. > :02:01.camp. The weather forecast is supposedly all right, but it seems
:02:02. > :02:07.to be getting worse. It is normally blue sky joint! It is just nice to
:02:08. > :02:11.be here. The Prince and his team set off next week and aim to cover 12
:02:12. > :02:16.miles a day before finishing on December 16th.
:02:17. > :02:20.Next we've been talking about it all week, so did the Doctor Who Special
:02:21. > :02:23.live up to the hype? The 50th anniversary episode was shown in
:02:24. > :02:27.more than 90 countries around the world last night. You can tell us
:02:28. > :02:33.what you thought of it on our website. These Whovians watched it
:02:34. > :02:40.at a cinema in London. It was a bit creepy and fun. It was very
:02:41. > :02:45.exciting. It was so captivating and interesting. Over on the website,
:02:46. > :02:48.you've been telling us what you thought about Team Time Lord.
:02:49. > :02:52.Luke in Northumberland says, "I guess it was good, but it became a
:02:53. > :02:54.bit boring at the end because some parts made absolutely no sense. The
:02:55. > :02:57.Christmas special certainly looks exciting, though!" But Olinka in
:02:58. > :03:01.Hampshire says, "My friends and I had a sleepover at my house and we
:03:02. > :03:05.loved it. It was so amazing, I really liked the end. We were up
:03:06. > :03:08.until 4am talking about it!". It has been a bad 24 hours for
:03:09. > :03:11.English sports It has been a bad 24 hours for
:03:12. > :03:14.the cricket team lost the first Test of the Ashes in Australia. Alistair
:03:15. > :03:21.Cook's men started the day needing 561 runs to win, but were all bowled
:03:22. > :03:25.out for 179. The second game of the best of five series starts in
:03:26. > :03:27.December. And there was also heartbreak for England's Rugby
:03:28. > :03:31.League team yesterday after New Zealand's Shaun Johnson, scored this
:03:32. > :03:34.last-gasp try, to deny them a place in the World Cup final. England were
:03:35. > :03:37.seconds from victory before the Kiwi's scored, and then added the
:03:38. > :03:40.decisive conversion with the last kick of the match. New Zealand now
:03:41. > :03:44.face Australia in the final. But one sport where home-grown
:03:45. > :03:47.success is starting to be a bit of a given is table football. You might
:03:48. > :03:51.be more used to seeing it played while on holiday, but next month is
:03:52. > :03:54.the Foosball World Cup in France with Team GB hopeful of bringing
:03:55. > :03:59.back a whole bag of trophies. One table, 22 plastic figures, and
:04:00. > :04:03.loads of passion. You may know it as table football or even foosball, but
:04:04. > :04:07.whatever you want to call it, one thing's for sure. It's back and more
:04:08. > :04:11.popular than ever! The sport was massive when your parents were born,
:04:12. > :04:15.but dipped in popularity with the rise of computer games. But now the
:04:16. > :04:22.number of players around the world is soaring again. Last year's World
:04:23. > :04:25.Cup attracted over 2,500 people. Particularly in Europe, it's
:04:26. > :04:28.massive, thousands play, and in China I've heard they've even got
:04:29. > :04:33.schools that have foosball on the curriculum. Table football has even
:04:34. > :04:36.scored on the big screen. Foosball: The Movie has broken box office
:04:37. > :04:38.records in Argentina and the English-language version, which
:04:39. > :04:45.stars Harry Potter's Rupert Grint, opens in the UK next year. Rob Atha
:04:46. > :04:49.from Manchester, seen here on the left, won the doubles title in 2009
:04:50. > :04:56.and was the first Brit to be world number one. And the leading British
:04:57. > :04:59.ladies aren't far behind either. At just 17, Sarah Brice was the
:05:00. > :05:03.youngest UK champion and is now making her mark on the global scene.
:05:04. > :05:07.I go abroad six times a year, France, Germany, America. I've met
:05:08. > :05:11.some incredible people. There's so much thought and mental capacity
:05:12. > :05:16.about this game. It's about technique. You don't need strength,
:05:17. > :05:25.just technique. It takes hours of practice each week to learn how to
:05:26. > :05:29.control the ball. So if you've got a footy table at home and put the
:05:30. > :05:33.hours in minus one day you could be scoring a last minute winner in a
:05:34. > :05:36.World Cup Final! A world-record attempt to go around
:05:37. > :05:42.the world in a motorised rickshaw has hit a snag. The two British
:05:43. > :05:45.teachers on board had to drag the vehicle is 50 miles by hand at its
:05:46. > :05:49.engine failed somewhere in a room. They eventually found a mechanic and
:05:50. > :05:55.got it restarted. They are raising money for child poverty and are
:05:56. > :05:59.making their way towards the next stop in Rio de Janeiro in Brazil.
:06:00. > :06:00.That is all for now. We are back bright and early tomorrow morning.
:06:01. > :06:01.Goodbye!
