Hello and welcome to your lunchtime round-up

0:00:030:00:06

of the big stories out there with me, Hayley.

0:00:060:00:09

Did dinosaurs dance the earth?

0:00:100:00:12

And the world record breaking teeth brushers.

0:00:120:00:17

First this morning to a British pilot,

0:00:260:00:28

who has just completed an historic mega journey.

0:00:280:00:32

Tracey Curtis-Taylor wanted to recreate the journey

0:00:320:00:35

of the first female pilot, Amy Johnson, back in 1930.

0:00:350:00:40

So she boarded a plane in Farnborough in the UK

0:00:400:00:43

that was almost a century old, travelled 13,000 miles,

0:00:430:00:46

crossed 23 countries, and stopped to refuel 50 times.

0:00:460:00:50

And she saw the world from a very special view.

0:00:500:00:55

Next to Scotland, where homes and businesses

0:00:550:00:57

have been badly flooded.

0:00:570:00:59

Today it's been announced that every house, business or charity affected

0:00:590:01:04

will get ?1,500 towards the cost of repairs.

0:01:040:01:08

First Minister Nicola Sturgeon is visiting the north-east

0:01:080:01:12

of the country, where parts of Aberdeenshire have been hit

0:01:120:01:14

by some of the heaviest rainfall on record.

0:01:140:01:19

This week Ricky's been in Las Vegas, America,

0:01:190:01:22

at the biggest gadget show in the world.

0:01:220:01:25

Here's his round-up of some of the weirdest tech that he's seen.

0:01:250:01:31

So this sofa has been specially adapted to move

0:01:390:01:42

to coincide with the movement of the video game.

0:01:420:01:47

So it's got special pads underneath each leg,

0:01:470:01:50

and they go up and down depending on what you are doing

0:01:500:01:53

in the actual game.

0:01:530:01:59

19-year-old Guillaume designed this alarm clock

0:01:590:02:03

that wake you up with a smell.

0:02:030:02:05

He came up with the idea

0:02:050:02:08

and created his very first model in his parents' garage.

0:02:080:02:12

Each cartridge has a different scent.

0:02:120:02:14

When it is time for your alarm to go off,

0:02:140:02:16

the fan inside pushes the smell out to gently wake you up.

0:02:160:02:19

So I am going to have a little smell.

0:02:190:02:23

This one smells of like a coffee chocolate.

0:02:230:02:25

That smells like the sea.

0:02:250:02:27

Like a holiday smell.

0:02:270:02:28

That is what I would like to wake up to.

0:02:280:02:32

Now, if you're like me

0:02:330:02:34

and you are someone who loses your umbrella all the time,

0:02:340:02:37

then this could be for you.

0:02:370:02:38

Inside this umbrella is a chip which connects to your phone,

0:02:380:02:41

and it can tell if you're moving away from your umbrella,

0:02:410:02:44

so it send you an alert to tell you, "Don't forget to take the umbrella!"

0:02:440:02:49

And if you are not a fan of doing the housework,

0:02:510:02:54

then this could be your thing.

0:02:540:02:55

A robot that can do all the hoovering,

0:02:550:02:57

we've also got robots to clean windows as well.

0:02:570:03:02

Now this robot is meant to help patients in hospitals to relax.

0:03:020:03:04

If you can't get a real pet into hospital,

0:03:040:03:07

then you can use this robot and it responds to you.

0:03:070:03:10

Whenever you stroke it, it moves around.

0:03:100:03:13

It is a bit like having a real pet.

0:03:130:03:16

So there you have it, all the weirdest tech

0:03:160:03:18

from the biggest gadget show in the world.

0:03:180:03:22

If like me you love to dance, then keep watching.

0:03:240:03:27

According to scientists, dinosaurs liked to bust a move, too -

0:03:270:03:31

so I've been looking in to what gets a dino body moving.

0:03:310:03:37

Have you ever tried to impress anyone with your dance moves?

0:03:370:03:39

Well, you might have something in common with dinosaurs.

0:03:390:03:42

Scientists who study them say

0:03:420:03:44

they used to perform a special birdlike dance to attract a partner.

0:03:440:03:49

Huge scratches have been found in rocks, left by the animals

0:03:490:03:52

in Colorado in America.

0:03:520:03:53

The patterns are similar to those left by puffins

0:03:530:03:55

and ostriches after they do their special mating dances.

0:03:550:04:00

The kind of dinosaurs who left these marks are still unknown,

0:04:000:04:02

but the findings have brought scientists one step closer

0:04:020:04:06

to figuring out how they lived.

0:04:060:04:12

To football now and Liverpool could only manage a draw

0:04:120:04:15

against League Two side Exeter in the third round of the FA Cup.

0:04:150:04:18

Brad Smith scored The Reds' second goal,

0:04:180:04:21

which means the two sides will have to play each other again.

0:04:210:04:24

Liverpool manager Jurgen Klopp fielded an inexperienced team

0:04:240:04:28

with three players making their debut.

0:04:280:04:30

Exeter manager Paul Tisdale is looking forward to the replay.

0:04:300:04:34

We have put on a really good show.

0:04:350:04:37

It is a pity we couldn't have played on a good surface,

0:04:370:04:40

because we had to play in conditions today that were very difficult.

0:04:400:04:43

We have a good chance of playing on a plum surface at Anfield,

0:04:430:04:46

so we can maybe change our game as well.

0:04:460:04:48

Justin Bieber has made chart history by sitting at numbers one,

0:04:480:04:53

two and three in the UK singles chart!

0:04:530:04:56

He's the first act to do it.

0:04:560:04:58

The song Love Yourself is at the top, followed by Sorry,

0:04:580:05:01

and then What Do You Mean?

0:05:010:05:06

In India, over 17,500 school kids got together

0:05:060:05:08

in the southern city of Bangalore to brush their teeth.

0:05:080:05:11

They set a new world record for mass teeth-brushing.

0:05:110:05:16

The event was organised to raise awareness

0:05:160:05:17

about the importance of having good oral hygiene,

0:05:170:05:20

and they certainly had sparkly smiles after that.

0:05:200:05:25

How many elephants can you feed with a christmas tree?

0:05:250:05:27

And, no, it's not a christmas joke - these three elephants

0:05:270:05:31

in the Viennese Zoo were given a healthy snack

0:05:310:05:33

to get them through the cold winter months.

0:05:330:05:35

And their snack came from one of the tallest christmas trees -

0:05:350:05:38

an 18-metre-tall and 90-year-old spruce tree.

0:05:380:05:40

A pretty big feast for anyone but, for these elephants,

0:05:400:05:43

including two-year-old Iquwa, it was a nutritious treat.

0:05:430:05:47

That's all from me for now.

0:05:470:05:49

Head over to the Newsround website

0:05:490:05:50

to see if Zayn is in touch with any of his old 1D band mates.

0:05:500:05:54

We're back with more at 1:45pm.

0:05:540:05:55

See you then.
