On Newsround this Tuesday.

The beach that's just for dogs.

0:00:060:00:11

And, the tiny, mighty robots that are strong enough to pull a car!

0:00:110:00:20

Morning, everyone.

0:00:230:00:24

I'm Ricky.

0:00:240:00:26

First up, fossils revealing how T-Rex became a fearsome dinosaur

0:00:260:00:33

have been found in Uzbekistan in Central Asia.

0:00:340:00:36

A new species of Tyrannosaur has been found which shows how quickly

0:00:360:00:39

these dinosaurs evolved from fluffy, horse-sized beasts

0:00:390:00:41

into giant monsters.

0:00:410:00:42

The BBC's science reporter Victoria Gill sent Newsround this

0:00:420:00:44

report.

0:00:440:00:48

So, this is it here, some of the fossils,

0:00:480:00:51

not all of them but once we have here.

0:00:510:00:53

A small box for a dinosaur.

0:00:530:00:55

What we have a are two of the bits.

0:00:550:00:57

Can I hold it?

0:00:570:00:58

Of course.

0:00:580:00:59

There you are.

0:00:590:01:01

Be careful.

0:01:010:01:02

90 million years old.

0:01:020:01:04

Only one of them.

0:01:040:01:06

It's a totally new species of Tyrannosaurus, it is called

0:01:060:01:08

Timurlengia.

0:01:080:01:12

Way back in the Jurassic period, Tyrannosaurus weren't a whole lot

0:01:120:01:15

bigger than me.

0:01:150:01:20

Tyrannosaurus stayed that way human=sized,

0:01:200:01:24

dog-size, little bit bigger, until about this time.

0:01:240:01:27

90 million years ago when they started to very suddenly

0:01:270:01:32

get huge and become dominant, go right to the top of the food chain.

0:01:320:01:37

This is one of those Tyrannosaurus on the cusp of becoming a T-Rex

0:01:370:01:40

type of animal.

0:01:400:01:45

The red sections of this show you how you jigsaw this together,

0:01:450:01:47

what fossil you have.

0:01:470:01:48

This is like a puzzle, and this is what we think the entire

0:01:480:01:52

skeleton would have looked like.

0:01:520:01:53

T-Rex is an evolutionary mystery.

0:01:530:01:54

We don't know much about how a dinosaur was able to become

0:01:540:01:57

so big, such a dominant animal.

0:01:570:02:01

Finding this fossil, a primitive relative of T-Rex,

0:02:010:02:05

gives us some clues to that mystery.

0:02:050:02:07

ROARING

0:02:070:02:11

There's been good news for scientists looking after a probe

0:02:110:02:16

that blasted off yesterday heading for Mars to search

0:02:160:02:18

for signs of life.

0:02:180:02:20

The ExoMars Trace Gas Orbiter has successfully sent a signal back

0:02:200:02:23

to Earth, as it continues on its 500 million kilometre journey

0:02:230:02:26

to the Red Planet.

0:02:260:02:27

The signal was picked up in India, and confirmed that the satellite

0:02:270:02:30

is in good condition.

0:02:300:02:31

To football now.

0:02:310:02:32

And Leicester have kept up their winning ways.

0:02:320:02:34

They beat Newcastle United 1-0

0:02:340:02:35

last night.

0:02:350:02:36

The only goal of the match was from Shinji Okazaki,

0:02:360:02:39

and means The Foxes are now five points clear

0:02:390:02:41

at the top of the Premier League.

0:02:410:02:43

Manager Claudio Ranieri is playing down his side's chance

0:02:430:02:45

of being crowned champions.

0:02:450:02:51

It is open.

0:02:510:02:53

And now we are fighting.

0:02:530:02:56

We are fighting for the Europe.

0:02:560:03:02

And then there

0:03:020:03:03

might be four or five matches, maybe we are fighting

0:03:030:03:06

for the Champions League.

0:03:060:03:07

I think you probably are now.

0:03:070:03:08

Yes.

0:03:080:03:09

Slowly, slowly.

0:03:090:03:10

Match by match.

0:03:100:03:15

Next, to the tiny robots moving full-size cars.

0:03:150:03:18

These microtug robots can pull objects 2,000 times

0:03:180:03:20

heavier than themselves.

0:03:200:03:22

That's the same as one of us pulling a blue whale.

0:03:220:03:28

But, when scientists at Stanford University in the US

0:03:280:03:31

joined them together, they can do this.

0:03:310:03:34

Here they are moving a car weighing 1,800 kilos, 3,000 times

0:03:340:03:37

their combined weight.

0:03:370:03:43

A coin thought to be nearly 2,000 years old has been found

0:03:430:03:46

by a woman out on a walk in Israel in the Middle east.

0:03:460:03:50

The coin, from the year 107AD, shows the image of Augustus,

0:03:500:03:52

the first emperor of the Roman Empire.

0:03:520:03:55

It's only the second of its kind to have been found.

0:03:550:03:58

The coin is thought to have been worth one month's wages

0:03:580:04:01

for a Roman soldier.

0:04:010:04:03

It is important because it is so valuable that it is hard to know

0:04:030:04:09

who would have been walking around with a coin like that in Galilee.

0:04:090:04:12

Coins like that couldn't buy anything.

0:04:120:04:14

It is like a $100 bill or a 500 euros note.

0:04:140:04:18

Sometimes you'd have trouble changing it.

0:04:180:04:19

We don't know who had the coin.

0:04:190:04:22

Whether it was a soldier, which is likely, because these coins

0:04:220:04:26

were given to soldiers as part of their pay.

0:04:260:04:29

Or someone who stole it from a soldier, something like that.

0:04:290:04:33

Next, part of a beach in Argentina in South America has been changed

0:04:330:04:36

into a beach just for dogs.

0:04:360:04:37

The beach has a doggy swimming pool,

0:04:370:04:40

free canine snacks, and a posh food menu for the dogs.

0:04:400:04:43

It means owners now have an area where they can let their pets

0:04:430:04:46

off their leads and let them run around.

0:04:460:04:48

And, finally, happy birthday to Joanne the gorilla who's turned

0:04:480:04:50

two years old.

0:04:500:04:51

Zoo keepers in San Diego in America put up

0:04:510:04:53

decorations in her habitat, and served up treats

0:04:530:04:55

like popcorn and strawberries.

0:04:550:04:56

That's all from me.

0:04:560:04:57

I'll be back with more of the day's top stories at 8.15am.
