Tens of thousands of people are believed to have died in Haiti following the massive earthquake on Tuesday. The most urgent need now is to get to the people who are trapped in the rubble. It is absolutely crucial that they get more emergency teams to the site immediately.

 Some emergency teams are already on the ground, some of them have heavy lifting equipment but a lot more is needed.
The survivors also need lots of help. Many people - including children - have spent a second night on the streets after the worst quake in 200 years devastated people's homes, school, hospitals and businesses.

There is no hospitals, no electricity, nothing - no food, no water, nothing. There are too many people dying.
 Damaged communication lines are making it very difficult to get through.The earthquake had a magnitude of seven on the earthquake measurement scale. The reason it had a particularly deadly impact is because it struck just ten kilometres below the Earth's surface. This meant the ground shook with enormous force. And because Haiti has many poorly built buildings - the impact has left large parts of the island in ruins. Haiti is not a rich country and they've already suffered damage from hurricanes and floods in the last year - so the massive rescue effort will need a lot of help from other countries.

England's Six Nations clash with Wales will be the first sporting event in Europe to be shown in 3D.

The special cinema screenings are meant to make you feel like you're really there. Great for lots of rugby fans, but for some of you 3D technology makes you feel sick.....

So what's your experience of 3D films been ?
