Morning, guys.

0:00:040:00:05

I'm Naz with Thursday's Newsround.

0:00:050:00:07

Here's what's coming up:

0:00:070:00:09

Another gold rush for Paralympics GB in Rio.

0:00:090:00:13

I've come to this school in Rio, where they're using sport to bring

0:00:130:00:16

able-bodied and disabled kids together.

0:00:160:00:20

And can trees talk?

0:00:200:00:22

I meet a man who thinks so.

0:00:220:00:25

First to Rio, and what a night it was for Para GB.

0:00:340:00:39

They won ten medals in just one hour, with nine gold

0:00:390:00:41

medals for the day.

0:00:410:00:43

It takes their tally of golds to 43, improving on the 34 they won

0:00:430:00:47

at the last Paralympics in London - and the competition isn't

0:00:470:00:50

even over yet!

0:00:500:00:52

Here are some of the best bits.

0:00:520:00:59

Hannah Cockroft triumphed in the T34 400m race in a

0:00:590:01:02

world record of 58.78 seconds, while her 15-year-old team-mate

0:01:020:01:05

Kare Adenegan claimed the bronze, her second medal in Rio.

0:01:050:01:11

In the pool, Aaron Moores pipped team-mate Scott Quinn to gold

0:01:110:01:14

in the SB14 100m breaststroke.

0:01:140:01:17

It was also gold for Michael Jones,

0:01:170:01:19

silver for Jonathan Fox in the S7 400m freestyle final,

0:01:190:01:25

and a gold for Hannah Russell in the S12 100m backstroke.

0:01:250:01:32

And Sophie Wells grabbed gold with her horse Valerius

0:01:320:01:36

in the dressage individual championship.

0:01:360:01:40

Staying with the Paralympics, even though the games

0:01:420:01:44

are being held in Brazil, many disabled children

0:01:440:01:47

there face huge challenges in their everyday lives.

0:01:470:01:51

Four out of ten of them don't even go to school.

0:01:510:01:54

But a sports project being run in hundreds of schools around

0:01:540:01:58

the country hopes to make all students feel included.

0:01:580:01:59

Here's Martin.

0:01:590:02:00

This school is in one of the poorer parts of Rio,

0:02:080:02:11

but they're doing something pretty special today.

0:02:110:02:14

Through the power of sports and games, they're bringing disabled

0:02:140:02:17

and able-bodied children together.

0:02:170:02:20

TRANSLATION: I really enjoyed playing with the football

0:02:240:02:28

on the cloth, it was a lot of fun.

0:02:280:02:31

TRANSLATION: My favourite part was when we were playing

0:02:310:02:36

with the ball and it was going all over the place and I had to get

0:02:360:02:40

underneath the tarp and kick it up.

0:02:400:02:43

I thought it was really cool.

0:02:430:02:48

TRANSLATION: I liked the run, because you get to feel

0:02:480:02:51

what it's like to be blind.

0:02:510:02:53

We were able to have a lot fun, cheer, and win.

0:02:530:02:56

It was great fun.

0:02:560:03:01

TRANSLATION: Having a sister with a disability is very cool,

0:03:010:03:07

she plays like everyone else and she's just like everyone else.

0:03:070:03:13

TRANSLATION: It's great having people with disabilities

0:03:130:03:16

in the classroom.

0:03:160:03:20

The important thing is to help one another.

0:03:200:03:22

Sometimes, if they forget things, I help them out.

0:03:220:03:28

What's it been like having the Paralympics in Rio de Janeiro?

0:03:280:03:32

TRANSLATION: It's been sensational.

0:03:320:03:36

Really incredible.

0:03:360:03:38

It's my first Olympics that I watched, because I was too young

0:03:380:03:41

for the other one, so it's been incredible, really

0:03:410:03:43

a privilege to watch.

0:03:430:03:45

TRANSLATION: It's been emotional and very cool.

0:03:450:03:48

It shows how the people of Rio are great fans.

0:03:480:03:51

It's been very cool to have it here.

0:03:510:03:53

TRANSLATION: A lot has changed, the city is a lot more

0:03:530:03:56

colourful and vibrant.

0:03:560:04:01

It's a very excited crowd and it's great to have them here.

0:04:010:04:04

It's a much happier city.

0:04:040:04:05

CHANTING: Brazil, Brazil!

0:04:050:04:08

And finally, what does and an oak, a birch, or a willow tree

0:04:080:04:11

have in common?

0:04:110:04:12

Well, according to a new book, they can talk to each other.

0:04:120:04:15

Yes, really!

0:04:150:04:16

Experts reckon trees can talk, feel pain, learn,

0:04:160:04:18

care for each other and even warn other trees of danger.

0:04:180:04:21

Sound absolutely conkers?

0:04:210:04:22

I met up with a tree expert and asked him if trees can

0:04:220:04:25

really talk to each other.

0:04:250:04:26

Trees really can talk, but not as we do it.

0:04:260:04:29

They do it via the roots.

0:04:290:04:31

They do it via a fungi network, which is working like our internet.

0:04:310:04:34

What kind of things do they talk about?

0:04:340:04:39

What we know is when trees, for example, are attacked

0:04:390:04:41

by insects, it hurts.

0:04:410:04:42

And then they don't just think of themselves,

0:04:420:04:44

but they warn each other, their neighbours.

0:04:440:04:47

That's all from me.

0:04:470:04:49
