I'm Hayley here's what we've got for you in the next six minutes.

:00:12.:00:14.

What happens when a giant flame-throwing catapult fires?

:00:15.:00:16.

And we get your gaming views as pokemon turns 20.

:00:17.:00:29.

First up, music news and the UK's entry for the annual

:00:30.:00:32.

Eurovision Song Contest has been announced.

:00:33.:00:33.

Six acts competed to represent Britain.

:00:34.:00:36.

In the end, the public voted for Joe and Jake.

:00:37.:00:40.

The pair will try to win it for the UK

:00:41.:00:43.

when they perform in the international song contest

:00:44.:00:47.

in May in Sweden and they're pretty excited about it.

:00:48.:00:50.

Seeing the crowd singing our lyrics is just like, "Wow."

:00:51.:00:54.

It's incredible to see how many people

:00:55.:01:01.

got behind us tonight and obviously we are so proud that the public has

:01:02.:01:04.

Tell us a little bit about the song and how you got to be here today.

:01:05.:01:14.

We're both so proud of it and so happy with it,

:01:15.:01:19.

and after the back of The Voice, we were both solo acts

:01:20.:01:21.

We started writing and then this happened.

:01:22.:01:27.

If you want to find out if the UK is in with a chance of winning

:01:28.:01:31.

Eurovision this year head to Newsround online.

:01:32.:01:32.

Next up, to Rio de Janeiro in Brazil where the 2016 Olympic Games

:01:33.:01:35.

But for some living in one part of the city,

:01:36.:01:40.

the battle is on to save the neighbourhood from demolition.

:01:41.:01:42.

A city known for its beaches, its football and in five months'

:01:43.:01:49.

time, it'll be known for 2016 Olympic Games.

:01:50.:01:56.

But just metres away from the Olympic site,

:01:57.:01:58.

the Vila Autodromo favela is being cleared out.

:01:59.:02:00.

Favelas are homes packed together in a sprawling maze

:02:01.:02:08.

Homes are often made of cement or brick and most people have

:02:09.:02:13.

For many years, residents here have been told

:02:14.:02:17.

they have to leave to make way for a bigger road next

:02:18.:02:20.

Many have moved on but some, including Maria, have stayed.

:02:21.:02:41.

TRANSLATION: While I don't have a place to go to live,

:02:42.:02:43.

I am sending some of my furniture to my neighbour's house

:02:44.:02:46.

What I really want is to stay in Vila Autodromo.

:02:47.:02:49.

Almost 600 families used to live here but now there are less.

:02:50.:02:56.

The city say residents who have the move will be given money. Some say

:02:57.:03:01.

this is their home and they will stay for as long as they can.

:03:02.:03:05.

Next to the largest missile launcher of its kind in the world.

:03:06.:03:08.

The massive fire-throwing catapult at Warwick Castle in the midlands

:03:09.:03:11.

is back in action after some serious repair work.

:03:12.:03:13.

..and launches, like, big balls that are on fire.

:03:14.:03:33.

Allow me to introduce you to the world's largest seige engine.

:03:34.:03:36.

Our machine is called Ursa - the bear.

:03:37.:03:40.

She's designed to destroy castles, towns, villages.

:03:41.:03:42.

She stands at 18 metres tall and she weighs two tonnes.

:03:43.:03:48.

Each shot we would launch from our machine would weigh

:03:49.:03:50.

imagine two huge washing machine is being thrown at you at 140 mph.

:03:51.:03:58.

This machine has to fire every six minutes, so my men must run

:03:59.:04:03.

If the sun is pouring through the slats of the wheels

:04:04.:04:08.

and they're looking at it, they're going to get dizzy,

:04:09.:04:10.

What comes out is going to come round and...

:04:11.:04:16.

Amazing. You can watch that again on our website.

:04:17.:04:37.

Next up, take a look at this surfer battling a huge wave.

:04:38.:04:40.

John John Florence took on an 18-metre wave

:04:41.:04:41.

That's about twice the height of an average house.

:04:42.:04:49.

His surfing skills got him more than ?50,000 at a big

:04:50.:04:52.

At 23 he is one of the youngest winners ever to take the prize

:04:53.:04:56.

We're asking you to get online and tell us what you think

:04:57.:05:12.

and how you think it rates compared to other games.

:05:13.:05:15.

Some of you have already posted your thoughts on Pokemon

:05:16.:05:18.

Patrick from Cornwall says, "Pokemon is my fave game

:05:19.:05:20.

because I used to collect Pokemon cards."

:05:21.:05:22.

However Amy from Bedfordshire isn't too fussed

:05:23.:05:23.

about it, she says she prefer newer games.

:05:24.:05:25.

Elli says Pokemon is a great game and she's not

:05:26.:05:29.

Thanks for those great comments guys, keep them coming.

:05:30.:05:33.

And last up, a new job for homeless dogs in Brazil.

:05:34.:05:36.

They haven't learned how to play the actual game just yet,

:05:37.:05:40.

but sporty dogs Ruffal Nadal and Roger Fetcherer acted as ball

:05:41.:05:43.

boys and girls at a match in Sao Paulo.

:05:44.:05:46.

It looks like they weren't too keen to give the balls back though.

:05:47.:05:49.

The aim of the match is encourage more people in Brazil to adopt

:05:50.:05:52.

That's all from me, but come back at quarter to two and I'll have

:05:53.:06:01.
