It's Monday, Ayshah here live on CBBC with some of this

:00:00.:00:00.

One man and his incredible journey across two continents on foot.

:00:07.:00:12.

And Ricky brings you the very latest tech to help you get around.

:00:13.:00:25.

and the civil war that's affecting many who live there.

:00:26.:00:30.

In the town of Madaya, there are reports that people

:00:31.:00:33.

are running out of supplies of food, water and medical equipment.

:00:34.:00:36.

These trucks carrying food and water

:00:37.:00:42.

Even though the town is only 25 miles from the capital of Damascus,

:00:43.:00:51.

it's been cut off from the outside world because of fighting.

:00:52.:00:54.

Over the last six months, the 40,000 people that live there

:00:55.:00:56.

It's also meant no-one has been able to come into the town too.

:00:57.:01:01.

food, water and electricity supplies are very low.

:01:02.:01:06.

Sadly, Syria has been at war for five years and it's torn

:01:07.:01:09.

the country apart into the areas controlled by the government

:01:10.:01:12.

and other areas controlled by different opposition groups

:01:13.:01:15.

and the war is so intense that all sides are willing to use

:01:16.:01:18.

whatever it takes to try to gain advantage over their enemy,

:01:19.:01:21.

and that has meant even cutting off regular food and water and medical

:01:22.:01:25.

supplies into communities, which has left people,

:01:26.:01:28.

So what is happening today is that all sides have agreed

:01:29.:01:45.

But so many other areas are still desperate

:01:46.:01:47.

Now that the town of Madiya has got supplies for next month,

:01:48.:01:53.

it's hoped aid agencies will be able to get more supplies

:01:54.:01:55.

If you want to know more about what's happening in Syria,

:01:56.:01:59.

there's lots over on the Newsround website.

:02:00.:02:06.

There is also advice if anything in the news upsets you.

:02:07.:02:13.

Next, Ricky's tried out loads of cool new things while he's been

:02:14.:02:16.

in America at the world's biggest gadget show, the CES.

:02:17.:02:18.

He even got his hands on the world's first smart electric skates -

:02:19.:02:21.

just one of the many new things to help you get around.

:02:22.:02:24.

So we've seen loads of personal mobility gadgets right here.

:02:25.:02:27.

Now what they are, in each skate, there is a motor in the wheel.

:02:28.:02:37.

There is also a battery which powers the motor.

:02:38.:02:39.

And the pressure you put at the front of the skate

:02:40.:02:41.

They're pretty difficult to use, actually, I found.

:02:42.:02:44.

I'm going to try and have another go.

:02:45.:02:52.

Now to the runner who has travelled the length

:02:53.:03:13.

Jamie Ramsey quit his job to run from Vancouver in Canada all the way

:03:14.:03:18.

to Buenos Aires in Argentina. It's all to raise money for charity.

:03:19.:03:21.

I am in Vancouver and I've got 18 months to run

:03:22.:03:25.

Crossing over 14 countries, some of them a little bit more

:03:26.:03:31.

He has to take everything he needs with him

:03:32.:03:36.

in a specially-designed pram which he pushes as he runs.

:03:37.:03:40.

All day long, I've been running uphill.

:03:41.:03:43.

A large part of his journey was on the Pan-American Highway,

:03:44.:03:49.

a stretch of road which runs from Canada through the USA

:03:50.:03:53.

If you want to see what it looks like to dive down 4000,

:03:54.:03:59.

er, 2000 metres, that's what it looks like!

:04:00.:04:03.

It goes down and switches back and back,

:04:04.:04:07.

across two continents and 14 countries.

:04:08.:04:15.

He's worn out 17 pairs of shoes and travelled over 10,000 miles.

:04:16.:04:22.

This is the moment he arrived in Buenos Aires.

:04:23.:04:29.

Boom, boom, boom! Congratulations!

:04:30.:04:35.

Jamie arrived back in the UK yesterday, where he ran

:04:36.:04:39.

from Heathrow Airport to the Houses of Parliament -

:04:40.:04:41.

but hopefully, we'll raise lots of money.

:04:42.:04:50.

I'll be back with more Newsround tomorrow morning at 7.40.

:04:51.:04:57.
