Good afternoon!

0:00:120:00:13

I'm Jenny, live with all the top stories this Sunday.

0:00:130:00:18

The Olympics have only just got underway and Great Britain

0:00:200:00:23

already has a new world record in the swimming pool.

0:00:230:00:25

But there's also been disappointment,

0:00:250:00:26

as some of Team GB's brightest medal hopes

0:00:260:00:28

failed in their bid for Olympic glory.

0:00:280:00:30

Here's Ricky's round-up of the action so far.

0:00:300:00:32

Hello from Rio, Ricky here.

0:00:320:00:33

Day one is done and it has certainly thrown

0:00:330:00:35

up a few surprises.

0:00:350:00:36

It's been really hot today here in the Olympic Park,

0:00:360:00:39

temperatures have reached more than 30 degrees.

0:00:390:00:40

It is so hot!

0:00:400:00:41

But that's enough about that, let's talk about the sport.

0:00:410:00:44

In the aquatic stadium, Adam Peaty,

0:00:440:00:47

who is only 21 years old, broke a world record.

0:00:470:00:51

Yep, he swam his heart out

0:00:510:00:52

in the men's 100 metres breaststroke.

0:00:520:00:54

He's now qualified for the final.

0:00:540:00:58

Tomorrow I'm hopefully going to move on a bit more.

0:00:580:01:00

I feel there is something more in the tank

0:01:000:01:03

but I want to save myself for that

0:01:030:01:04

and hopefully, you know, get that investment of all that work

0:01:040:01:07

I have done these past seven years.

0:01:070:01:09

So many people congratulating me there.

0:01:090:01:10

It is crazy and that is what it's all about, the Olympic experience.

0:01:100:01:13

Adam's roommate here in Rio, James Guy, didn't pick up

0:01:130:01:16

a medal in the 400 metres freestyle.

0:01:160:01:18

Hannah Miley missed out on a medal

0:01:180:01:21

in the women's individual 400 metres medley.

0:01:210:01:26

There was some disappointment for Team GB in the cycling

0:01:260:01:29

as Chris Froome, who only recently won the Tour de France,

0:01:290:01:31

was unable to pick up a medal here in Rio.

0:01:310:01:34

And in judo, Team GB's Ashley McKenzie fought back

0:01:340:01:38

the tears as he narrowly lost by a single point.

0:01:380:01:42

Now, what I love about the Olympics is that it always throws up

0:01:420:01:45

some amazing stories.

0:01:450:01:46

Vietnam have never won a gold medal before,

0:01:460:01:48

but that has all changed.

0:01:480:01:50

On Saturday, they won their first ever gold so imagine

0:01:500:01:53

how they are celebrating in Vietnam right now.

0:01:530:01:56

Plenty more drama to look forward to.

0:01:560:01:59

We've got fencing, hockey, and even more swimming

0:01:590:02:01

as the Olympics continue.

0:02:010:02:03

Brazil! Brazil! Brazil!

0:02:030:02:05

And we've been asking what you'll be watching -

0:02:050:02:08

Callum's looking forward to the sprinting.

0:02:080:02:09

Holly will be watching the high jump,

0:02:090:02:11

as it's her favourite sport -

0:02:110:02:13

she says she gets surprised how high the athletes can jump.

0:02:130:02:18

To world's longest aircraft now.

0:02:180:02:20

The mighty Airlander has been wheeled out of its hangar,

0:02:200:02:22

in preparation for its first ever flight,

0:02:220:02:25

following some tests to check everything is working OK.

0:02:250:02:27

Here's everything you need to know.

0:02:270:02:28

Part plane, part airship, part helicopter.

0:02:280:02:30

This is the world's longest flying machine.

0:02:300:02:34

It has a giant helium gas-filled balloon,

0:02:340:02:36

with a special shape to help it fly.

0:02:360:02:40

The team behind it boast it can stay in the air for three weeks

0:02:400:02:43

and it could potentially carry hundreds of people.

0:02:430:02:49

I want to get on this thing and fly pole to pole,

0:02:490:02:52

and we will fly over the Amazon at 20 feet.

0:02:520:02:54

We will fly over, you know, the world's greatest cities.

0:02:540:02:57

We'll show the whole world, live on the Internet,

0:02:570:02:59

exactly how beautiful this planet is.

0:02:590:03:01

They also say it could do a lot of practical good.

0:03:010:03:04

Its size and the fact it can land pretty much anywhere

0:03:040:03:06

means that it could be used to deliver vital aid

0:03:060:03:09

to areas hit by natural disasters.

0:03:090:03:13

Just how big is it?

0:03:130:03:14

It's 92 metres long -

0:03:140:03:16

that's almost 20 metres longer than the biggest airliner.

0:03:160:03:19

It's equal to nine double-decker buses lined up.

0:03:190:03:25

Its first flight date hasn't been announced yet, so watch this space.

0:03:250:03:29

Day trips to the museum are one of the most popular things to do

0:03:310:03:34

during the summer holidays, and it's usually free,

0:03:340:03:36

but now the famous Science Museum in London,

0:03:360:03:38

says it's planning to charge money to go to one of its exhibits.

0:03:380:03:41

Leah has this one.

0:03:410:03:44

It's free to come here to see most things.

0:03:450:03:47

But the Museum are giving

0:03:470:03:49

one of the most popular interactive exhibitions a makeover.

0:03:490:03:54

They say they will be charging people to come and visit it

0:03:540:03:57

when it opens in October.

0:03:570:04:00

National museums in England, Wales and Scotland are free to visit,

0:04:000:04:04

but they can still charge for some special displays.

0:04:040:04:08

What do kids here think about the new charge?

0:04:080:04:11

Because folk are on tight budgets,

0:04:110:04:15

they won't be able to experience everything.

0:04:150:04:17

They need the money to keep the museum going.

0:04:170:04:19

If it's really good, you feel good about it

0:04:190:04:21

and you feel like you paid good money.

0:04:210:04:23

If it's really bad, you feel like they've kind of ripped you off.

0:04:230:04:26

If they didn't, they wouldn't have enough money like they do now,

0:04:260:04:29

and they wouldn't be able to improve the museum.

0:04:290:04:31

I don't think that's very fair that some parents have to fork out,

0:04:310:04:35

and some parents can't.

0:04:350:04:37

The new exhibit, Wonderlab, is being built at the moment.

0:04:370:04:41

I spoke to Natalie, who's in charge of it.

0:04:410:04:44

Why did you feel you couldn't make an example and not charge families?

0:04:440:04:48

Why didn't you say, "Look, we've got this to show off,

0:04:480:04:51

it's great, and everyone can come"?

0:04:510:04:52

It costs a lot of money to run an interactive gallery like this,

0:04:520:04:55

and the money on the ticket charge will go to running that gallery.

0:04:550:04:59

Have you feel about those families that are saying,

0:04:590:05:01

"I can't afford it, simply"?

0:05:010:05:02

We will be having these initiatives

0:05:020:05:04

to get those families to come to this gallery,

0:05:040:05:06

if they find that ticket charge a barrier.

0:05:060:05:09

The new exhibition has cost the Science Museum

0:05:090:05:11

more than ?6 million to complete.

0:05:110:05:14

But, when it opens in just two months, it will be the visitors

0:05:140:05:17

who will judge whether it's worth paying for.

0:05:170:05:24

Next are you watching Robot Wars?

0:05:240:05:26

Newsround met the nine-year-old taking her fearsome machine,

0:05:260:05:28

called Glitterbomb, into battle.

0:05:280:05:31

It's on TV later today.

0:05:310:05:33

She told Ayshah why she thinks more girls should get involved.

0:05:330:05:37

Robots can let us do amazing things

0:05:370:05:38

that we wouldn't normally be able to do,

0:05:380:05:40

like go to Mars, go to see the Titanic,

0:05:400:05:43

and make little girls like me make big old men cry.

0:05:430:05:46

Brilliant!

0:05:460:05:48

Everyone thinks it's all about the boys,

0:05:480:05:50

but we need girls in this as well,

0:05:500:05:53

and girls need to bring lots of sparkle into this.

0:05:530:05:57

That's all from the team today,

0:05:570:06:01

but Newsround's back bright and early tomorrow morning at 7:40am.

0:06:010:06:04

Have a brilliant evening.
