Morning, guys. | 0:00:04 | 0:00:05 | |
I'm Naz with Thursday's Newsround. | 0:00:05 | 0:00:07 | |
Here's what's coming up: | 0:00:07 | 0:00:09 | |
Another gold rush for Paralympics GB in Rio. | 0:00:09 | 0:00:13 | |
I've come to this school in Rio, where they're using sport to bring | 0:00:13 | 0:00:16 | |
able-bodied and disabled kids together. | 0:00:16 | 0:00:20 | |
And can trees talk? | 0:00:20 | 0:00:22 | |
I meet a man who thinks so. | 0:00:22 | 0:00:25 | |
First to Rio, and what a night it was for Para GB. | 0:00:34 | 0:00:39 | |
They won ten medals in just one hour, with nine gold | 0:00:39 | 0:00:41 | |
medals for the day. | 0:00:41 | 0:00:43 | |
It takes their tally of golds to 43, improving on the 34 they won | 0:00:43 | 0:00:47 | |
at the last Paralympics in London - and the competition isn't | 0:00:47 | 0:00:50 | |
even over yet! | 0:00:50 | 0:00:52 | |
Here are some of the best bits. | 0:00:52 | 0:00:59 | |
Hannah Cockroft triumphed in the T34 400m race in a | 0:00:59 | 0:01:02 | |
world record of 58.78 seconds, while her 15-year-old team-mate | 0:01:02 | 0:01:05 | |
Kare Adenegan claimed the bronze, her second medal in Rio. | 0:01:05 | 0:01:11 | |
In the pool, Aaron Moores pipped team-mate Scott Quinn to gold | 0:01:11 | 0:01:14 | |
in the SB14 100m breaststroke. | 0:01:14 | 0:01:17 | |
It was also gold for Michael Jones, | 0:01:17 | 0:01:19 | |
silver for Jonathan Fox in the S7 400m freestyle final, | 0:01:19 | 0:01:25 | |
and a gold for Hannah Russell in the S12 100m backstroke. | 0:01:25 | 0:01:32 | |
And Sophie Wells grabbed gold with her horse Valerius | 0:01:32 | 0:01:36 | |
in the dressage individual championship. | 0:01:36 | 0:01:40 | |
Staying with the Paralympics, even though the games | 0:01:42 | 0:01:44 | |
are being held in Brazil, many disabled children | 0:01:44 | 0:01:47 | |
there face huge challenges in their everyday lives. | 0:01:47 | 0:01:51 | |
Four out of ten of them don't even go to school. | 0:01:51 | 0:01:54 | |
But a sports project being run in hundreds of schools around | 0:01:54 | 0:01:58 | |
the country hopes to make all students feel included. | 0:01:58 | 0:01:59 | |
Here's Martin. | 0:01:59 | 0:02:00 | |
This school is in one of the poorer parts of Rio, | 0:02:08 | 0:02:11 | |
but they're doing something pretty special today. | 0:02:11 | 0:02:14 | |
Through the power of sports and games, they're bringing disabled | 0:02:14 | 0:02:17 | |
and able-bodied children together. | 0:02:17 | 0:02:20 | |
TRANSLATION: I really enjoyed playing with the football | 0:02:24 | 0:02:28 | |
on the cloth, it was a lot of fun. | 0:02:28 | 0:02:31 | |
TRANSLATION: My favourite part was when we were playing | 0:02:31 | 0:02:36 | |
with the ball and it was going all over the place and I had to get | 0:02:36 | 0:02:40 | |
underneath the tarp and kick it up. | 0:02:40 | 0:02:43 | |
I thought it was really cool. | 0:02:43 | 0:02:48 | |
TRANSLATION: I liked the run, because you get to feel | 0:02:48 | 0:02:51 | |
what it's like to be blind. | 0:02:51 | 0:02:53 | |
We were able to have a lot fun, cheer, and win. | 0:02:53 | 0:02:56 | |
It was great fun. | 0:02:56 | 0:03:01 | |
TRANSLATION: Having a sister with a disability is very cool, | 0:03:01 | 0:03:07 | |
she plays like everyone else and she's just like everyone else. | 0:03:07 | 0:03:13 | |
TRANSLATION: It's great having people with disabilities | 0:03:13 | 0:03:16 | |
in the classroom. | 0:03:16 | 0:03:20 | |
The important thing is to help one another. | 0:03:20 | 0:03:22 | |
Sometimes, if they forget things, I help them out. | 0:03:22 | 0:03:28 | |
What's it been like having the Paralympics in Rio de Janeiro? | 0:03:28 | 0:03:32 | |
TRANSLATION: It's been sensational. | 0:03:32 | 0:03:36 | |
Really incredible. | 0:03:36 | 0:03:38 | |
It's my first Olympics that I watched, because I was too young | 0:03:38 | 0:03:41 | |
for the other one, so it's been incredible, really | 0:03:41 | 0:03:43 | |
a privilege to watch. | 0:03:43 | 0:03:45 | |
TRANSLATION: It's been emotional and very cool. | 0:03:45 | 0:03:48 | |
It shows how the people of Rio are great fans. | 0:03:48 | 0:03:51 | |
It's been very cool to have it here. | 0:03:51 | 0:03:53 | |
TRANSLATION: A lot has changed, the city is a lot more | 0:03:53 | 0:03:56 | |
colourful and vibrant. | 0:03:56 | 0:04:01 | |
It's a very excited crowd and it's great to have them here. | 0:04:01 | 0:04:04 | |
It's a much happier city. | 0:04:04 | 0:04:05 | |
CHANTING: Brazil, Brazil! | 0:04:05 | 0:04:08 | |
And finally, what does and an oak, a birch, or a willow tree | 0:04:08 | 0:04:11 | |
have in common? | 0:04:11 | 0:04:12 | |
Well, according to a new book, they can talk to each other. | 0:04:12 | 0:04:15 | |
Yes, really! | 0:04:15 | 0:04:16 | |
Experts reckon trees can talk, feel pain, learn, | 0:04:16 | 0:04:18 | |
care for each other and even warn other trees of danger. | 0:04:18 | 0:04:21 | |
Sound absolutely conkers? | 0:04:21 | 0:04:22 | |
I met up with a tree expert and asked him if trees can | 0:04:22 | 0:04:25 | |
really talk to each other. | 0:04:25 | 0:04:26 | |
Trees really can talk, but not as we do it. | 0:04:26 | 0:04:29 | |
They do it via the roots. | 0:04:29 | 0:04:31 | |
They do it via a fungi network, which is working like our internet. | 0:04:31 | 0:04:34 | |
What kind of things do they talk about? | 0:04:34 | 0:04:39 | |
What we know is when trees, for example, are attacked | 0:04:39 | 0:04:41 | |
by insects, it hurts. | 0:04:41 | 0:04:42 | |
And then they don't just think of themselves, | 0:04:42 | 0:04:44 | |
but they warn each other, their neighbours. | 0:04:44 | 0:04:47 | |
That's all from me. | 0:04:47 | 0:04:49 | |
Newsround's back right here in about half an hour, | 0:04:49 | 0:04:54 | |
Don't miss it. | 0:04:54 | 0:04:58 |
