It's Wednesday 4th of June and you are with Newsround.

I am Ricky with some of this on the way.

Coming up, the moment this wedding party took an unexpected dip, and

take a look inside my brain. This is newsround. First, the brand-new

technology that is hoped will save many cyclists lives. The new

technology tells bus drivers when a cyclist is nearby, even if they

cannot see them. There is a radar and camera on the left side of the

bus, which picks up the cyclists. Then the computer recognises that it

is definitely a bike and sends a warning. It is hoped the technology

will reduce the number of cyclists killed or injured on the roads. It

is being tried out in Bristol and London. This is the first test of

its kind in the UK, out on the streets, testing the technology in

anger, where it is hoped it will really make a difference. Next, it

is a big day for the Queen as she sets out what the government wants

to do this year in a special speech when she opens Parliament. There are

plants to introduce charges for plastic shopping bags in England

with the money raised going to charity. They're going to change the

rules on how much money all the people get when they finish work. It

is a big moment for the government and a very grand occasion. For an

example of how grand, look at this swanky new coach that the Queen will

use to travel to Westminster. It is called the Diamond Jubilee coach,

only the second state coach to be built in more than 100 years. It

took ten years to complete. A new type of flying ambulance which

does not need a pilot is being tested in Israel. The robot could be

used to rescue injured people from battlefields. It does not need

anyone to drive it, so it would be able to fly into places too

dangerous for people. It could also be used to take supplies to remote

areas. A new terminal has opened at the

UK's busiest airport. Terminal two at Heathrow cost ?2.5 billion to

build and replaces the first passenger building opened by the

Queen in 1955. The first flights to arrive at the new terminal landed at

6am this morning from Chicago. Next, brainpower. Have you ever

revised for a test only to forget everything in the exam? Researchers

say that brain training could be the answer to improving your memory and

doing better with schoolwork. I have been finding out more.

Our brains are incredible but complex organs,

controlling the function of our bodies, storing our learning

Tell us more about the brain and how it works?

This is the front of your brain, where short-term memory is

Short-term memory is the kind of memory used when you are sitting

in the classroom and the teacher is telling you something

new that you have not heard before and you have to learn it.

Long-term memory is processed in the hippocampus,

a structure here responsible for storing all the memories that

We all have different memory abilities.

Short-term memory improves up until the age of 14 and after 30,

Scientists say that brain training can improve short-term memory

These kids are trying to improve their brainpower, logged on to

a series of laptops with a special brain training exercise on it.

The higher the score, the better their memory.

The programme works by asking you to remember different

types of information, getting harder and harder the longer you train.

Researchers say they have been impressed by the results.

We are seeing that when the children work hard

on these exercises, we are able to improve their short-term memories.

I can recall instructions easier, and I know what the teacher has

Although there are still lots of things we do not know

about the brain and how memory works, in future, kids across

the country could be taking part in brain training classes like this.

At weddings, everyone put on their best clothes, especially because

they want to look good in the photos. But the photos went wrong

for this couple in Minnesota, who had a nasty surprise when they were

posing. Three lucky bridesmaids escaped,
