06/09/2012 Newsround

Good evening, everyone. I'm Ricky, he's Ore. This is Newsround.

have all the big stories coming up. Including: We find out about the

wheels, power the Olympics, best athletes. We'll look at the big

fight for the right to run America. The 100 metres is always one of the

most watched events of any Games. Tonight, four superstars go head-

to-head for the title of the world's fastest Paralympian. With

two artificial legs they are a second slower than Usain Bolt's

fastest time. Here is the low-down. Tonight the

Olympic Stadium will witness raw speed. The four main contenders

have a lot to prove. Oscar Pistorius - the original Blade

Runner has won five Paralympic golds. He is out for revenge after

losing out in the 200 metres. Alan Oliveira - the man who pipped

Pistorius in that race. All the attention has been on his blades

rather than his speed. Can the Brazilian demonstrate there's no

doubting he is the fastest? Jerome Singleton - the current world

champion over 100 metres. He has worked at NASA. It is not rocket

science, hey, just run faster than the others.

Jonnie Peacock. 19-year-old Peacock has qualified fastest for the final.

Can he beat Pistorius to win gold for GB? Whoever wins, one thing is

for sure - it's going to be fast! It will be a great race. Now we

know about Sir Chris Hoy and Mo Farah. Now we can add the name of

Sarah Storey to the list of GB's London legends. Today the cyclist

equalled the record for the most amount of golds. She won the C4

road race. I have been along to the Olympic

Park to see if some of you agree it is changing attitudes about

disability. People with disabilities can do things that

abled-body people can do. They are not as different as people might

think. I am visually impaired. I think it is really good because the

Paralympicic -- Paralympic people have good skills. It was

astonishing - it opened my eyes. When I was small, I was like not, I

didn't want to touch them or see them. When I came today, to the

Olympic Stadium, I thought they are amazing. It has given opportunities

to disabled people to show what they can do instead of being in the

background. And you guys have been telling us if the Paralympics have

changed your view of disability Keep them coming in, friends.

Yesterday, we got our first look at the brutal world of wheelchair

rugby. The chairs take a bit of a battering. Wheelchairs are a vital

part of any athlete's success. As I have been finding out they are not

all the same. At the London 2012 Paralympics we

have seen incredible speed, power and agility. It is fair to say that

a lot of the time it's not just the athletes that have to perform, it

is the wheelchairs too. I am with Hugh. He knows all about the

different varieties of wheelchair. I am in an every day chair. What is

this one? Defensive chair. It is designed and built to withstand the

impact of wheelchair rugby, which is a very contact sport. We have

the wheels slant to make the chair turn, but also to make it very

solid on side impact. Now, I am in a basketball wheelchair here - what

are the main differences with this? Very similar to rugby. It has

slanted wheels for stability, side to side. It has a single wing at

the front for contact, not to get stuck with other players.

The basketball players not only have to worry about the skill of

the sport, but hay have to move around as well in the chairs. These

guys are giving it a go here. It is proving to be difficult.

So, tell me about this - what is this? This is what we call a hand

cycle. What kind of speeds do they reach? Up to 60 kilometres an hour.

Shall I give it a go? Please. All right! Go.

My word! That's impossible! So, OK, I am not

a Paralympic champion, but now I know more about the kits that help

the athletes go for gold at London 2012. OK, let's get the other news

from around the world now. First, an upsetting story from France.

Three members of a family on a camping holiday in the Alps have

been found dead in their car. A cyclist was also killed in a

reported gun attack. Two younger members of the family, girls aged

four and eight, survived. Police are still trying to find out what

happened. Now, it is worth remembering this kind of thing is

very rare F you are worried about this story or anything you see on

the news speak to your mum, dad or an adult and you can head to the

Newsround website where there is news and advice. Now, to Spain,

where a live bullfight has been shown on national TV for the first

time in six years. The sport had been banned from the main TV

channel, partly because people thought the pictures might upset

kids. New politicians decided to overturn the ban. There have been

complaints from animal rights' groups. Over in the States, Barack

Obama starts his fight to stay on as American President. He will make

a big speech to say why people should pick him as opposed to Mitt

Romney. Elections take place in November. It is fair to say, he's

got some big-time backing. He's got friends in high places, from film

and pop stars, to chat show hosts. Barack Obama has celebrity backing.

Now a former President has spoken up for him too. Bill Clinton was US

President for eight years. He says Obama deserves to be voted in again.

I want to nominate a man who is cool on the outside, but who burns

for America on the inside. So, it is a match between Obama and

the Republican candidate, Mitt Romney. What are the main issues

the two men and their parties are fighting for? Health care - the

main thing Obama has been criticised for is trying to provide

more affordable health care for poorer people. A bit like our NHS.

Romney says it is a tax on the rich. Economy - there are lots of people

out of work in America. Romney blames Obama's party and says he

would create new jobs. Obama's supporters say he has done well to

keep the economy go going. Armed Forces - there's a big disagreement

over how American troops are used abroad. Obama wants to take US

troops out of Afghanistan by the end of the year. Romney says the

timing is wrong and wants more spending on defence. With just

eight weeks left to convince voters to support him, tonight Barack

Obama will argue he has achieved a lot during his time as President

and deserves four more years in power to finish what he started. I

am sure you'll see some of his speech tomorrow on Newsround. We

started with a raw speed, so we may as well finish with it. Ever heard

of a robot faster than Usain Bolt? His name is Chet ta. He has been

developed by the US military to help them in difficult situations.
