Hi, I'm Ricky live in the Newsround studio with the biggest stories of | :00:00. | :00:08. | |
the day. Coming up, we dig up the story on what's been called the | :00:09. | :00:12. | |
worst video game ever made. And how do you re-populate an island with | :00:13. | :00:16. | |
puffins? We find out. This is Newsround. | :00:17. | :00:23. | |
But first, just a five hour flight from the UK, Syria used to be a | :00:24. | :00:26. | |
country full of beautiful buildings and busy streets. But after three | :00:27. | :00:29. | |
years of civil war, hardly anything looks the same. 9.5 million people - | :00:30. | :00:35. | |
that's almost half of the people who live there - have had to leave their | :00:36. | :00:38. | |
homes. Fighting between the government and the opposition has | :00:39. | :00:41. | |
been almost continuous and whole cities have been destroyed by bombs | :00:42. | :00:45. | |
and fighting. Some of the fiercest fighting has been in the city of | :00:46. | :00:50. | |
Aleppo. This is what it used to look like. Now the city is a dangerous | :00:51. | :00:54. | |
place that few people go to. BBC reporter Ian Pannell got a rare look | :00:55. | :01:01. | |
inside. Most of the people who live in these areas have fled. Hull | :01:02. | :01:08. | |
neighbourhoods are effectively abandoned. Now and again you see the | :01:09. | :01:12. | |
odd person, small children going through rubbish. But otherwise | :01:13. | :01:17. | |
people have run to the countryside for safety. We spent the last few | :01:18. | :01:22. | |
days in the city and the bombing campaign pretty much does not stop | :01:23. | :01:27. | |
day or night. The truth is there is almost no work in Aleppo that could | :01:28. | :01:34. | |
be described as safe, either on the government side and certainly not on | :01:35. | :01:37. | |
the opposition side. And for guides, galleries and all | :01:38. | :01:41. | |
the information you need on the Syrian conflict, head on over to the | :01:42. | :01:44. | |
Newsround website. Next, for over one hundred years | :01:45. | :01:47. | |
Ramsay Island, off the coast of Wales, has been a puffin free zone. | :01:48. | :01:50. | |
Up until the late 1800s, thousands of the sea birds lived and bred on | :01:51. | :01:54. | |
the island, until a rat invasion forced them to leave. For the past | :01:55. | :01:57. | |
four years conservationists have been trying to bring the puffins | :01:58. | :02:01. | |
back and have come up with sneaky plan that they hope will trick the | :02:02. | :02:08. | |
sea birds in to returning. It is a simple speaker system. We have a | :02:09. | :02:16. | |
puffin track and it is wired up to a solar panel. That will play from | :02:17. | :02:22. | |
dawn to dusk the call of the puff out to sea. It seems almost | :02:23. | :02:32. | |
immediately there was an impact from the speaker system. That has been | :02:33. | :02:37. | |
the case at other sites. Next, how many of you have an old | :02:38. | :02:41. | |
video game at home that you don't play any more? If so, what have you | :02:42. | :02:46. | |
done with it? Thrown it in the bin? Recycled it? What about burying in | :02:47. | :02:49. | |
the desert? It might sound a bit extreme, but that's what happened to | :02:50. | :02:52. | |
thousands of copies of what's been dubbed the worst game ever made! | :02:53. | :03:00. | |
Nel's been digging in to this one. The gaming industry is worth about | :03:01. | :03:05. | |
?40 billion worldwide. It's been big business since the 1980s and these | :03:06. | :03:08. | |
were some of the favourite titles back then. But they weren't all hits | :03:09. | :03:12. | |
and this was thought to be one of the worst of all time. ET was a huge | :03:13. | :03:16. | |
blockbuster which came out in 1982 and people wanted to cash in on the | :03:17. | :03:19. | |
film's success. Games developers Atari designed and made the ET video | :03:20. | :03:24. | |
game in just a few weeks at a cost of over 20 million dollars. But it | :03:25. | :03:28. | |
was a massive flop. So just how bad is this game? I've got one here to | :03:29. | :03:38. | |
test it out with a gaming expert. Why is it such a flop. A few | :03:39. | :03:45. | |
reasons. It is extremely repetitive first of all. You are flicks back | :03:46. | :03:52. | |
between the same screens. It does not really represent the film. At | :03:53. | :04:01. | |
the time it was reported that millions of copies were taken into | :04:02. | :04:05. | |
the new Mexico Desert in America and buried. Now more than 30 years on a | :04:06. | :04:09. | |
team of documentary maker said on the site and after a few hours of | :04:10. | :04:15. | |
digging they found a huge stash of these rejected games. It's thought | :04:16. | :04:20. | |
there could be hundreds of thousands more copies of the game still buried | :04:21. | :04:23. | |
in the New Mexico desert. It's a pretty unusual way to get rid of a | :04:24. | :04:27. | |
something you don't want, although I rather like it! Next, wave goodbye | :04:28. | :04:35. | |
to the Stafford tower. This 21-storey block in Birmingham was | :04:36. | :04:38. | |
turned into eleven thousand tonnes of rubble over the weekend to make | :04:39. | :04:42. | |
way for a new park. Demolition workers say it was one of the | :04:43. | :04:45. | |
trickiest jobs they've have ever done in a city centre. That's all | :04:46. | :04:49. | |
for now. I'm back here just before seven with news on Mount Everest, | :04:50. | :04:52. | |
the UK's worst cricket team and why these guys are on the loose in South | :04:53. | :04:58. | |
Wales. See you soon. Good buy. | :04:59. | :05:00. |
