Hi, I'm Martin, It's Friday morning, this is Newsround -	:00:00.	:00:00.
and here's what we've got for you today...	:00:00.	:00:08.
Hayley is live in with kids who are speaking to	:00:09.	:00:10.
We will be looking at technology here in Las Vegas.	:00:11.	:00:29.
First up, rain has been causing more problems in Scotland.	:00:30.	:00:32.
The river Don in Aberdeenshire has burst it's banks and many people	:00:33.	:00:35.
have had to be evacuated to safe places.	:00:36.	:00:38.
The surrounding areas have also been affected and rescue efforts have not	:00:39.	:00:41.
been helped by low temperatures and snow.	:00:42.	:00:46.
Next up, 2016 is set to be another big year for drones.	:00:47.	:00:49.
So where better to find the latest drone designs than the biggest	:00:50.	:00:52.
gadget show in the world, CES, in America?	:00:53.	:00:54.
When it comes to drones, they don't get much bigger than that.	:00:55.	:01:06.
This is said to be a world first, it is a drone that can carry	:01:07.	:01:11.
a passenger but without the need of a pilot.	:01:12.	:01:13.
On a tablet, they can choose their destination.	:01:14.	:01:16.
The drone lifts off and takes you to wherever you need to go.	:01:17.	:01:21.
At the moment, it is just a prototype so it has not	:01:22.	:01:24.
But imagine stepping into something like that!	:01:25.	:01:31.
It's for one passenger, with eight propellers and four arms.	:01:32.	:01:33.
The fast charge will be two hours. Standard charges four hours.	:01:34.	:01:40.
How long will that last in the sky? 23 minutes.	:01:41.	:01:46.
This is said to be one of the safest drones on show	:01:47.	:01:49.
That's because the propellers aren't exposed, they are actually	:01:50.	:01:54.
I go like that and turn it 90 degrees, it stops.	:01:55.	:02:04.
Why is there a need to try to make drones safer?	:02:05.	:02:07.
Drones are dangerous, with high-speed propellers,	:02:08.	:02:09.
you do not want to fly them near people or expensive equipment.	:02:10.	:02:13.
That is what we are trying to achieve.	:02:14.	:02:20.
Next, Tim Peake, the first British astronaut to live on board	:02:21.	:02:23.
the International Space Station, is enjoying life in orbit.	:02:24.	:02:25.
Today he'll take time out of his busy schedule to speak	:02:26.	:02:28.
to kids at a school in St Albans about his time in space so far.	:02:29.	:02:32.
Hi, Martin. We're pretty excited. In 20 minutes, we will be contacting	:02:33.	:02:49.
Tim Peake in the International Space Station. Guys, how do you feel?	:02:50.	:03:00.
Really excited. Really nervous. It is buzzing, the atmosphere here is	:03:01.	:03:05.
awesome. It is quite quiet and tense because they are testing equipment.	:03:06.	:03:10.
It will not be easy. Tim Peake is travelling 250 miles above the	:03:11.	:03:15.
Earth, at 17,500 mph, and is only crossing this bit of Earth for ten	:03:16.	:03:20.
minutes. A tight window but these guys have been well trained for	:03:21.	:03:25.
eight days. They have a special space radio contact licence. There	:03:26.	:03:30.
is technology involved, this is a big deal. No pressure, guys! What	:03:31.	:03:36.
will you ask him? His view on the Earth and how it is different from	:03:37.	:03:44.
in space. About the experiment and I would like an answer that is	:03:45.	:03:46.
different to what is on the internet. I will ask about gravity.	:03:47.	:03:56.
I am asking about the experiments he is doing. I will ask about	:03:57.	:04:07.
experiments also. I hope he knows the answer. Let's hope so. I will	:04:08.	:04:17.
ask about the mission name and about planets and I hope he tells me	:04:18.	:04:21.
something I don't know. I hope he remembers me! That would be cool.	:04:22.	:04:31.
Newsround will not be live at the time we may contact but don't worry,	:04:32.	:04:35.
I am sticking here to make Sue we see the chat with Tim so tune in	:04:36.	:04:41.
this afternoon at 4:20pm. It is literally going to be out of this	:04:42.	:04:42.
world. Thank you. Lots of you this week would have	:04:43.	:04:48.
taken down your Christmas tree but if you have a real tree	:04:49.	:04:50.
what do you do with it? Yesterday I caught up	:04:51.	:04:54.
with an environmental expert to find out, and it was quite	:04:55.	:04:56.
a stinky experience. It's really important to recycle	:04:57.	:04:58.
your Christmas tree after Christmas. It can be turned into which it,	:04:59.	:05:00.
compost, and it will then help other Filming that was a pretty stinky	:05:01.	:05:04.
experience, so if you want to see me struggling with some disgusting	:05:05.	:05:11.
smells, then make sure you watch Praying mantises have been given	:05:12.	:05:13.
tiny glasses by a team The creatures were shown images	:05:14.	:05:19.
of bugs, but they only pounced Harmless beeswax was used	:05:20.	:05:22.
to attach the mini specs The research could be used	:05:23.	:05:26.
in developing robots that are better Finally, take a look at this	:05:27.	:05:34.
seriously cute calf! The little creature's	:05:35.	:05:39.
a one-horned rhinoceros, a rare species because of	:05:40.	:05:40.
poaching and habitat loss. The tiny rhino was born in December	:05:41.	:05:44.
at a zoo in Belgium. It'll be staying indoors	:05:45.	:05:47.
until weather gets a bit warmer.	:05:48.	:05:50.
