Good afternoon, it's Saturday and you're live with Newsround.

:00:00.:00:00.

I'm Hayley and here's what I've got for you coming up.

:00:00.:00:08.

First to Rio de Janeiro in Brazil where the 2016 Olympic Games kick

:00:09.:00:26.

But for some living one part of the city the battle

:00:27.:00:32.

is on to save the neighbourhood from demolition.

:00:33.:00:35.

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

:00:36.:00:43.

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

:00:44.:00:50.

But just metres away from the Olympic site,

:00:51.:00:52.

the Vila Autodromo favela is being cleared out.

:00:53.:00:59.

Favelas are homes packed together in a sprawling maze

:01:00.:01:02.

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

:01:03.:01:08.

For many years, residents here have been told they have to leave to make

:01:09.:01:16.

way for a bigger road next to the Olympic park.

:01:17.:01:18.

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

:01:19.:01:24.

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

:01:25.:01:27.

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

:01:28.:01:30.

What I really want is to stay in Vila Autodromo.

:01:31.:01:38.

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

:01:39.:01:45.

The city say residents who have to move will

:01:46.:01:47.

Some say this is their home and they will stay for as long

:01:48.:01:52.

Next, at just 18 years old Kyla Nelson in on the team

:01:53.:02:01.

for Great Britain's women's basketball team.

:02:02.:02:03.

She checked in with Newsround to tell us about how the sport has

:02:04.:02:06.

I'm Kyla Nelson, I'm 18 years old, and I play for the Great Britain

:02:07.:02:13.

I got into basketball from birth, really.

:02:14.:02:16.

My dad was still playing when I was born, and growing

:02:17.:02:19.

And I was about seven when I started playing for a local youth team.

:02:20.:02:26.

It's a privilege, having two people in your life that have played

:02:27.:02:29.

I just want to absorb everything they say.

:02:30.:02:34.

What I love about basketball is just the hustle, the competitiveness

:02:35.:02:36.

Basketball has helped my confidence a lot growing up.

:02:37.:02:42.

I was a little bit overweight when I was younger, and sometimes

:02:43.:02:45.

when I have a bad game, I don't know how good I am.

:02:46.:02:49.

But when I come here, and having team-mates like these

:02:50.:02:51.

They've done some stuff that I just aspire to do myself.

:02:52.:03:02.

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

:03:03.:03:05.

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

:03:06.:03:08.

is back in action after some serious repair work.

:03:09.:03:10.

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

:03:11.:03:27.

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

:03:28.:03:31.

A huge catapult called the trebuchet.

:03:32.:03:38.

Our machine is called Ursa - the bear.

:03:39.: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.:03:50.

Each shot we would launch from our machine would weigh

:03:51.:03:54.

about 150 kilos, imagine two huge washing machine is being thrown

:03:55.:03:57.

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

:03:58.:04:02.

If the sun is pouring through the slats of the wheels

:04:03.:04:06.

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

:04:07.:04:08.

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

:04:09.:04:18.

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

:04:19.:04:39.

of the video game and how you think it rates compared to your other

:04:40.:04:43.

Some of you have already posted your thoughts on Pokemon.

:04:44.:04:50.

Lola from New Zealand says that she prefers Minecraft. Lucy says it is

:04:51.:05:01.

her favourite game ever and she hopes there is a new one soon. Sean

:05:02.:05:06.

says Pokemon is still popular because of the strategy involved, it

:05:07.:05:10.

makes you think. Sometimes I find it hard to think on a Saturday!

:05:11.:05:18.

A new job for homeless dogs in Brazil.

:05:19.:05:20.

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

:05:21.:05:23.

but sporty dogs Ruffal Nadal and Roger Fetcherer acted as ball

:05:24.:05:26.

boys and girls at a match in Sao Paulo.

:05:27.:05:28.

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

:05:29.:05:33.

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

:05:34.:05:36.

Next to a story about an escaped unicorn.

:05:37.:05:40.

Unicorns only exist in story books but this pony dressed up to look

:05:41.:05:45.

like one managed to escape a children's party in California

:05:46.:05:47.

It was only caught after a four-hour chase through the streets of Madera

:05:48.:05:54.

That's all from me, but ill be back right here tomorrow morning

:05:55.:05:59.
