Welcome to Newsround this Thursday, Ayshah here with this | :00:00. | :00:00. | |
morning's stories - including the fantastic opening | :00:00. | :00:07. | |
And from the planet's tallest female dog?to the tall chimney that's | :00:08. | :00:14. | |
First, let's go straight to Rio where the Paralympic Games | :00:15. | :00:36. | |
kicked off last night with wheelchair acrobatics, | :00:37. | :00:38. | |
colourful dancing and huge fireworks. | :00:39. | :00:39. | |
Martin's in Brazil to bring us the latest. | :00:40. | :00:41. | |
Every event has to start off with a bang, and | :00:42. | :00:43. | |
that is what happened in | :00:44. | :00:44. | |
that building behind me, the famous Maracana stadium | :00:45. | :00:46. | |
It was full of colour and dancing and surprises. | :00:47. | :00:52. | |
It all began with this incredible stunt from American Aaron | :00:53. | :00:59. | |
"Wheelz" Fotheringham, jumping | :01:00. | :01:03. | |
through the air in his wheelchair in style. | :01:04. | :01:05. | |
Thousands of performers were | :01:06. | :01:06. | |
involved in the show, from the start to finish, | :01:07. | :01:08. | |
showcasing the talents of | :01:09. | :01:09. | |
Paralympics GB were led into the ceremony by | :01:10. | :01:16. | |
British athletes will be hoping for a | :01:17. | :01:21. | |
But the loudest cheer of the night went | :01:22. | :01:32. | |
to the host nation's Paraolympians when they entered the stadium. | :01:33. | :01:35. | |
There was also time for a massive jigsaw | :01:36. | :01:40. | |
with all the faces of every competitor at the 2016 Games too. | :01:41. | :01:44. | |
The puzzle came together to form one giant beating heart. | :01:45. | :01:49. | |
They will surprise you, inspire and excite you. | :01:50. | :01:54. | |
But most of all, they will change you. | :01:55. | :01:58. | |
Proud Paraolympians, you are role models for what the | :01:59. | :02:03. | |
Proud Paralympians, you are role models for what the | :02:04. | :02:05. | |
world want to see in today's sporting heroes. | :02:06. | :02:09. | |
At a wonderful show full of colour and music, the flame | :02:10. | :02:12. | |
was lit to officially open the 2016 Paralympic Games. | :02:13. | :02:18. | |
There's no such celebration for Andy Murray, though - | :02:19. | :02:27. | |
he's crashed out of the US Open in the quarter finals. | :02:28. | :02:29. | |
He was beaten by Japan's Kei Nishikori in five sets. | :02:30. | :02:32. | |
This is the first Grand Slam final that won't feature Andy this year, | :02:33. | :02:36. | |
but the Wimbledon champion said that he's still proud of what he's | :02:37. | :02:39. | |
I've not let anyone down, I tried my best, I fought | :02:40. | :02:44. | |
as hard as I could, I | :02:45. | :02:45. | |
Certainly not myself, I pushed myself as hard | :02:46. | :02:52. | |
as I could over the past few months and I'm proud of how I've done. | :02:53. | :02:58. | |
Not one, but two, new versions of the PlayStation 4 have been | :02:59. | :03:01. | |
The company says the PS4 Pro will have ultra-high-definition graphics. | :03:02. | :03:06. | |
But experts say releasing an upgraded console, | :03:07. | :03:09. | |
just three years after the PS4 came out, is a risk. | :03:10. | :03:13. | |
There's also going to be a slimmer PS4 that will be | :03:14. | :03:15. | |
And the new iPhone 7 has been unveiled by the company Apple. | :03:16. | :03:21. | |
It doesn't have a round headphone socket, which could end up annoying | :03:22. | :03:25. | |
people who need to use an adapter - or fork out for pricey | :03:26. | :03:28. | |
Next, the tallest concrete structure ever to be demolished | :03:29. | :03:33. | |
This chimney stack used to be part of an old power station | :03:34. | :03:39. | |
on the Isle of Grain in Kent, but now it's just a pile of rubble! | :03:40. | :03:42. | |
Many people came out to see the controlled explosion that left | :03:43. | :04:15. | |
40,000 tonnes of concrete rubble behind. | :04:16. | :04:22. | |
At 244 metres high it was smaller than The Shard, which is the | :04:23. | :04:29. | |
tallest building in the UK, but it was bigger than the BT Tower, | :04:30. | :04:33. | |
Blackpool Tower and London's Big Ben. | :04:34. | :04:37. | |
In fact, it was so big, you would have to stack more than 55 | :04:38. | :04:41. | |
other to make it all the way up there. | :04:42. | :04:49. | |
So let's see it come down once again. | :04:50. | :05:11. | |
From a tall chimney to a tall dog - the world's tallest, in fact. | :05:12. | :05:14. | |
Meet Lizzy, who stands at a height of 96cm and lives with her owner, | :05:15. | :05:18. | |
She's officially become the tallest living female dog on | :05:19. | :05:23. | |
Guinness World Records have announced a whole new load | :05:24. | :05:27. | |
of records, including the highest jump by a llama ? oh, | :05:28. | :05:30. | |
yes - and the fastest 50 metres walking on hands | :05:31. | :05:33. | |
Well, you can test your knowledge of weird and wonderful world records | :05:34. | :05:41. | |
We tried it this morning, it was hard. | :05:42. | :05:51. | |
That's all from me, Newsround's back this afternoon at 4:20, | :05:52. | :05:54. | |
when we'll have Martin live from the Paralympics in Rio. | :05:55. | :05:58. |
