0:00:05 > 0:00:07Hi, I'm Leah with your Newsround update this Wednesday morning.
0:00:07 > 0:00:10Keep watching for all of this:
0:00:10 > 0:00:13With only a week to go athletes prepare to compete
0:00:13 > 0:00:16at the Paralympics in Rio.
0:00:16 > 0:00:25And find out why these camels are up for sale.
0:00:26 > 0:00:29But first, what is life like for children living in towns
0:00:29 > 0:00:31and cities in Syria that are under attack?
0:00:31 > 0:00:33Many children have escaped the war in Syria to become refugees,
0:00:33 > 0:00:36but many more are still living there, and we've been finding out
0:00:36 > 0:00:37what's been happening to them.
0:00:37 > 0:00:44Naz has more.
0:00:44 > 0:00:47Help arrives for these children in the Syrian city of Aleppo.
0:00:47 > 0:00:49After weeks of being trapped by a government siege,
0:00:49 > 0:00:54they can finally leave.
0:00:54 > 0:00:57Sieges are where a group of soldiers surround a city, sometimes
0:00:57 > 0:01:01for months, and as well as stopping people getting out, they stop
0:01:01 > 0:01:07imported supplies like food and medicines from getting in.
0:01:07 > 0:01:10The UN, which is a group of lots of countries,
0:01:10 > 0:01:13says soldiers from all different sides of the war in Syria have
0:01:13 > 0:01:16trapped people in sieges.
0:01:16 > 0:01:20Doing this is against important rules called international law
0:01:20 > 0:01:23because soldiers are never allowed to attack ordinary people who aren't
0:01:23 > 0:01:27fighting and can't escape.
0:01:27 > 0:01:29Soldiers should never stop people from getting the things
0:01:29 > 0:01:30they need to survive.
0:01:30 > 0:01:34It's difficult to get in contact with the children trapped in towns
0:01:34 > 0:01:36and cities in Syria, but refugees in Turkey who left
0:01:36 > 0:01:43Syria recently told us what life was like for them before they left.
0:01:43 > 0:01:48TRANSLATION: There were air strikes and mortars would be launched at us.
0:01:48 > 0:01:52Some of our relatives even died and we couldn't eat because the food
0:01:52 > 0:01:58prices in our area were too high.
0:01:58 > 0:02:01Hamza told us he and his family went to the capital city Damascus
0:02:01 > 0:02:03in the hope that they would be safer there,
0:02:03 > 0:02:09but they found problems again.
0:02:09 > 0:02:11TRANSLATION: We saw the siege happen there.
0:02:11 > 0:02:13They launched air strikes and there was a fire.
0:02:13 > 0:02:19Things got much worse, so we fled to Turkey.
0:02:19 > 0:02:25Brothers Abdul and Ahmed had to escape as well.
0:02:25 > 0:02:27TRANSLATION: It was very dangerous and difficult for children
0:02:27 > 0:02:29to go to school.
0:02:29 > 0:02:32The mosques used to do lessons for children, but it was difficult
0:02:32 > 0:02:36because of the air strikes.
0:02:36 > 0:02:39Hamza, Abdul and Ahmed all managed to get away from the fighting
0:02:39 > 0:02:42and are now at school in Turkey.
0:02:42 > 0:02:52But around a quarter of a million children are still thought to be
0:02:52 > 0:02:55trapped and charities say that they need to be able to get
0:02:55 > 0:02:58into areas under siege so they can bring them supplies like food,
0:02:58 > 0:02:59blankets and medicines.
0:02:59 > 0:03:01Leaders from around the world, including the British government,
0:03:01 > 0:03:09have called for the fighting to stop and the sieges in Syria to end.
0:03:09 > 0:03:11Next, there's just one week left until the Paralympic Games
0:03:11 > 0:03:12kick off in Rio, Brazil.
0:03:12 > 0:03:15Great Britain will have a 200 plus strong team of athletes
0:03:15 > 0:03:19with a range of disabilities competing in 19 sports.
0:03:19 > 0:03:22Four years ago, Paralympics GB won 34 golds and hopes are high they can
0:03:22 > 0:03:28better that in Brazil.
0:03:28 > 0:03:30Finally, to the farm in Cornwall that's selling a bunch of animals.
0:03:30 > 0:03:32Only the farmer isn't selling sheep or cows,
0:03:32 > 0:03:33he's selling camels.
0:03:33 > 0:03:34But why?
0:03:34 > 0:03:37Ricky has this one.
0:03:37 > 0:03:39More than ten years ago these camels were thought
0:03:39 > 0:03:40to Rosuick Farm in Cornwall.
0:03:40 > 0:03:47Since then the herd has got bigger and bigger and farmer Christopher
0:03:47 > 0:03:49needs to find some of them a new home.
0:03:49 > 0:03:52They love people and, you know, it's always a pleasure
0:03:52 > 0:03:54to be with the camels because they are very
0:03:54 > 0:03:55social animals.
0:03:55 > 0:03:58They are pulling in the crowds at this farm, but I don't think any
0:03:58 > 0:04:01of the parents are willing to give them a home just yet.
0:04:01 > 0:04:04No, I'm living in a flat in Bournemouth, so that's probably
0:04:04 > 0:04:05a bit too big for the balcony.
0:04:05 > 0:04:07No.
0:04:07 > 0:04:08Too smelly.
0:04:08 > 0:04:10As lovely as they are, no.
0:04:10 > 0:04:12So, if you're seriously thinking about getting a camel,
0:04:12 > 0:04:16here are a few things you need to be aware of.
0:04:16 > 0:04:19They are desert animals, said they need somewhere dry
0:04:19 > 0:04:26to go to in the winter.
0:04:26 > 0:04:29They like company, so you might need to get more than one.
0:04:29 > 0:04:32Make sure you've got good fencing because they can eat their way
0:04:32 > 0:04:33through a hedge.
0:04:33 > 0:04:35And don't forget a camel isn't just for Christmas,
0:04:35 > 0:04:38you need to be committed as these animals can live for up to 40 years.
0:04:38 > 0:04:41So if you've got between 3000 and ?8,000 in the bank,
0:04:41 > 0:04:47then Humphrey here could be yours.
0:04:47 > 0:04:50That's all from me, Newsround's back right here in about half an hour
0:04:50 > 0:04:52with Olympic Gold medallists Helen Glover and Heather Stanning
0:04:52 > 0:05:01so make sure you tune in.
