Good afternoon, Team Newsround. Ayshah here with a brilliant

:00:00.:00:07.

bulletin for you. Coming your way in the next five.

:00:08.:00:11.

Helen Skelton, JK Rowling, and David Walliams - just some of the

:00:12.:00:13.

inspirational people you want on magazine front covers.

:00:14.:00:25.

And I am in Birmingham checking out cool gadgets including this led that

:00:26.:00:31.

you can control with your phone. First to a subject that's got lots

:00:32.:00:35.

of you getting in touch. Who should be on the front covers of your

:00:36.:00:38.

favourite magazines? Leah's been speaking to the editor of Girl Talk,

:00:39.:00:41.

one of Britain's top pre-teen mags, who says there are too many pop

:00:42.:00:45.

stars and actors on front pages. They're now going to use more

:00:46.:00:48.

positive role models, like top sportswomen and inventors. There is

:00:49.:00:56.

no problem wanting to see pop stars or looking up to them. The campaign

:00:57.:01:01.

is about making sure that girls see other people on the covers as well.

:01:02.:01:07.

We will have Jessica Ennis in the future which is a big step as we

:01:08.:01:10.

have never had a sports person before. Some people may say that

:01:11.:01:17.

someone like Jessica Ennis is really pretty. So is it much of a change?

:01:18.:01:24.

It is complicated and pushing the boundaries has to be done quite

:01:25.:01:28.

gently. There cannot be a radical change. You've been suggesting who

:01:29.:01:33.

you'd want on the front cover. Amelia wants Olympians like Jess

:01:34.:01:36.

Ennis-Hill, Victoria Pendleton or Nicola Adams. She says most magazine

:01:37.:01:40.

editors choose pop stars and they eventually get boring. Try someone

:01:41.:01:45.

different! Maisie wants Dick and Dom as they're boys and it's usually

:01:46.:01:48.

girls that are on the front cover. Joe suggests author Jaqueline Wilson

:01:49.:01:51.

because she's inspirational and could influence anyone to become a

:01:52.:01:55.

successful person like her. And Zoe's chosen Rebecca Adlington

:01:56.:01:58.

because she thinks she's an amazing and inspirational person! Thanks to

:01:59.:02:03.

all of you who got in touch - there's plenty more on the website.

:02:04.:02:08.

Next to a huge medical breakthrough that brings hope for people with

:02:09.:02:12.

spinal injuries. Four paralysed men who had been unable to move from the

:02:13.:02:16.

chest down, can now move their legs, after a new treatment in America.

:02:17.:02:19.

Special electrical pulses were used to stimulate the spinal cords

:02:20.:02:22.

meaning the men could move their legs, hips, ankles and toes, though

:02:23.:02:26.

they're not yet able to walk on their own. Researchers say the

:02:27.:02:29.

technique could help millions of people worldwide affected by back

:02:30.:02:37.

injuries. The treatment is specifically for

:02:38.:02:41.

people who have had an injury to their spinal cord which has

:02:42.:02:45.

interrupted the flow of information. So it will not help everyone but for

:02:46.:02:51.

people who have had dramatic spinal injuries, damage to their back

:02:52.:02:54.

interrupting the flow of information to and from the lakes, there is a

:02:55.:03:00.

lot of hope. -- the legs. Last up, imagine turning your tablet

:03:01.:03:04.

into some DJ decks, or being able to check what your dog is up to when

:03:05.:03:08.

you're out. Just two of the next generation of gadgets on display in

:03:09.:03:11.

Birmingham from tomorrow. Earlier today we sent Martin to check out

:03:12.:03:21.

what the future holds. From smart beds to flying robots, it's all here

:03:22.:03:32.

at the Gadget Show. This might look like a dog biscuit but what you do

:03:33.:03:40.

is attach it to the collar and link it to your tablet or smartphone. You

:03:41.:03:46.

can track the movements of your dog. And at your next birthday party you

:03:47.:03:50.

could be entertaining your friends with this. It is called a mixing

:03:51.:03:57.

desk. You can hook it up to your tablet and all your favourite songs

:03:58.:04:01.

can be loaded into this and you can make your favourite tunes. What is

:04:02.:04:09.

special about this scooter was like the normal scooter is brilliant fun

:04:10.:04:14.

but you can struggle with where you can ride it. But this will pretty

:04:15.:04:19.

much go anywhere. For the first time, smaller independent gaming

:04:20.:04:26.

companies are here showing off their ideas. It is great for us because we

:04:27.:04:34.

can afford to make the games. People download them and hopefully we get

:04:35.:04:39.

paid at the end of the month? This is very comfortable. It will adjust

:04:40.:04:44.

to your own body shape. You can adjust the firmness and the

:04:45.:04:51.

temperature. All these gadgets have tired me out. It's time to call it a

:04:52.:04:55.

day. That's all from me, Newsround's back

:04:56.:04:58.

with the last word on CBBC at 6:50pm.

:04:59.:05:02.
