Can gambling be addictive? Some kids do get addicted to gambling, mostly by playing on fruit machines. It happens because when you do something, and get a reward for doing it, you are more likely. Daniel Middleton was born on 8 November 1991 in Aldershot, England as the elder son of two siblings. His parents divorced when he was little. He attended the University of Nottingham, and started a YouTube channel in 2009 dedicated to Counter-Strike: Global Offensive while at university, in which he called himself 'PokemanDanlvl45'. Reporting for BBC Newsround, I gave an update on what happened to the NHS COVID-19 app in England, as well as how other home nations chose to move with their own apps. Since this report, Apple and Google have pushed ahead with plans to integrate contact tracing right into their smartphones.

The BBC has launched a raft of new resources to help keep children busy and entertained while many of us self-isolate at home.

The extensive range includes a wealth of educational TV shows and tools plus an entirely new section on BBC iPlayer to make it easier for children and parents to find family-friendly content.

The public service broadcaster is planning to release more new resources in the coming weeks, and we’ll share the details as soon as we have them. In the meantime, here’s what’s already available:

BBC Children’s

• Cbeebies (0-6): Many new series are now available on the iPlayer to keep younger viewers entertained, including Something Special, JoJo & Gran Gran, Andy and the Band, My Very First, Alphablocks Magicwords and the brand-new series of Waffle the Wonder Dog.
  
• CBBC (6-12): The new adaptation of Malory Towers is now available on the iPlayer – along with every episode of Jamie Johnson, The Dumping Ground and The Worst Witch. Throughout the Easter period, there will also be daily film screenings and Newsround bulletins to keep young people up to date on what’s going on in the world.
  
• Apps: The BBC has a range of free apps without ads or in-app purchases to help parents entertain and educate younger children such as the Go Explore App, Playtime Island App, Storytime App and Get Creative App.
  
• Websites: The BBC’s CBBC website features a vast range of clips, songs and fun games – including the new online multiplayer game Nightfall, which gives children a chance to play together and stay connected with their friends. Look out, too, for an Easter egg hunt on the Blue Peter website, which will give children daily puzzles and riddles to crack.
  
• New children’s area on the iPlayer: Last week, the BBC unveiled a dedicated new area in the iPlayer for family-friendly content. You can access it by hitting the monster-shaped ‘children’ button.

BBC Education

• The BBC Bitesize website has been given a facelift to make it easier for pupils of all ages to find resources they need for different subjects. Older pupils preparing for their GCSEs can also download the BBC Bitesize Revision App – packed with flashcards to help them study for the different subjects – while younger children can try their hand at a range of games designed to reinforce key learning objectives.
  
• To respond to the current situation, the BBC has transformed the BBC Teach website – which is usually meant for teachers only – into a hub where parents can find free curriculum-linked resources and guides to home learning. They include:
  
  • Super Movers, which helps children stay active while learning.
    
  • Starting Primary School, which has short films and games designed to prepare young children for the big step of starting primary school.
    
  • Starting Secondary School, which offers advice and emotional support for pupils who are about to make the transition to secondary school.
    
  • Fact or Fake, which aims to give children the skills needed to identify misinformation online through short films and quizzes.
    
  • Bring the Noise, which has lots of fun activities to help children between four and seven make their own music without needing an instrument.
    
  • Terrific Scientific, which enables eight to 10-year-olds to conduct fun experiments while learning about the basic principles of science.

What role can technology play in helping to fight coronavirus? I’ve been keeping a close eye on the potential for smartphones to help contact tracing programmes become faster and more accurate.

While some national health authorities have raced to deploy contact tracing apps for their citizens’ smartphones, here in the UK it’s been a bumpy ride – as I wrote earlier in the summer.

Reporting for BBC Newsround, I gave an update on what happened to the NHS COVID-19 app in England, as well as how other home nations chose to move with their own apps.

Since this report, Apple and Google have pushed ahead with plans to integrate contact tracing right into their smartphones. Exposure Notifications Express means that a dedicated app may no longer be necessary to enable contact tracing.
