Hello and welcome to Glasgow where we've seen some pretty

World champion Adam Peaty kicked things off with

:00:52.:00:56.

a brilliant win in the 100 metre breaststroke final.

:00:57.:00:58.

His time of 58.41 seconds will be enough for him

:00:59.:01:01.

to make the British Olympic team this summer.

:01:02.:01:04.

Rival, Ross Murdoch, who was racing in the pool he learnt

:01:05.:01:07.

to swim in, was second and should also go to Rio.

:01:08.:01:12.

Not trying to get a peak performance at trials like last year.

Trying to get a peak performance at the

The main job here was just to qualify.

:01:20.:01:23.

We are qualified now, so don't take that for

:01:24.:01:26.

The fastest swimmers always start in Lane 4 and that's

:01:27.:01:36.

exactly where James Di began his bid to reach Rio.

:01:37.:01:39.

He powered clear of the other swimmers in the tough 400

:01:40.:01:41.

metre freestyle final to claim gold and an Olympic place.

:01:42.:01:44.

Scotland's Hannah Miley did the same in the

:01:47.:01:48.

butterfly, breaststroke, backstroke and front crawl.

:01:49.:01:52.

:02:07.:02:08.

from Kevin De Bruyne, securing a thrilling win.

:02:09.:02:13.

Space now and scientists say plans to send tiny spacecraft

:02:14.:02:15.

outside our solar system could happen in the

:02:16.:02:19.

With the technology that exists at the moment,

:02:20.:02:23.

it would take a spacecraft 30,000 years to get

:02:24.:02:25.

But some of the world's best scientists now think that by making

:02:26.:02:30.

a spacecraft as small as a mobile phone chip,

:02:31.:02:33.

It would mean that a mission to another star, something that

:02:34.:02:38.

once seemed impossible, might become a reality .

:02:39.:02:45.

We want to go and reach another star. It's not going to be easy.

:02:46.:02:52.

Traditionally, it would take an awfully long time, so this is a neat

:02:53.:02:57.

idea for speeding it up and hopefully getting something that we

:02:58.:02:58.

might see in our own lifetime. It's one of the busiest times

:03:30.:03:40.

They would go in a pen and get fed and warm.

:03:41.:03:51.

What's the best thing about lambing season for you? There is always

:03:52.:03:58.

something different to do. It's really fast. You've got to get up

:03:59.:04:00.

really early if you want to help. And now the moment
