It's Monday, I'm Ayshah, and this is just some of what's coming up on

:00:07.:00:09.

Messi is on form and on target at the World Cup, and...

:00:10.:00:13.

The robot security guard who thinks for himself. Stay tuned.

:00:14.:00:21.

Let's start with the incredible pictures of record

:00:22.:00:23.

The World Cup host nation's been battered by storms that have

:00:24.:00:29.

seen the Iguazu Falls, on the border with Argentina, overflow.

:00:30.:00:33.

Elsewhere, one of the World Cup's host cities, Natal -

:00:34.:00:37.

where the USA play Ghana tonight - has declared a flood alert.

:00:38.:00:40.

The match should not be affected, but more rain is forecast.

:00:41.:00:43.

We'll have the results from yesterday's games shortly.

:00:44.:00:47.

Next, to some good news if the sound of the dentist's drill

:00:48.:00:50.

New technology being developed by King's College London could mean

:00:51.:00:54.

It helps the teeth repair themselves so they don't need to be drilled.

:00:55.:01:00.

It's still in the early stages but researchers say it could be

:01:01.:01:02.

Next, the design for the cockpit of the supersonic British car aiming

:01:03.:01:09.

to break the world land speed record has been revealed.

:01:10.:01:14.

Andy Green hopes to drive the Bloodhound car at 1000 miles an

:01:15.:01:17.

The rest of it is about a year away from full

:01:18.:01:21.

assembly, but the BBC's had a sneak peek - here's Ricky with more.

:01:22.:01:26.

To travel in a car at nearly one half times of the speed of sound you

:01:27.:01:37.

need an engine from one of these. Then you need a dried out Lake where

:01:38.:01:43.

20,000 tonnes of rock have been removed by volunteers to make for a

:01:44.:01:55.

super smooth trip. 100 and go it was Donald in Bluebird setting a new

:01:56.:02:03.

world record, 174 mph. In the latest land speed record attempt, the

:02:04.:02:07.

Bloodhound team hope to reach 1000 mph. Andy Green will be in the

:02:08.:02:14.

driving seat and he needs to get the car to travel one mile in 3.5

:02:15.:02:21.

seconds. This is my 1000 mile per row office. There are rocket engines

:02:22.:02:28.

underneath the canopy and I will be controlling this in the cockpit. I

:02:29.:02:33.

will drive this car 1000 mph so I need absolute confidence in every

:02:34.:02:37.

part of it. This working space is about speed, precision, control and

:02:38.:02:44.

safety. 2 million schoolchildren are following the project around the

:02:45.:02:49.

world and it is hoped whether it reaches its target or not it will

:02:50.:02:53.

inspire a new generation of engineers and scientists.

:02:54.:02:56.

Next up, the robot security guard that can think for himself.

:02:57.:03:00.

This is Bob, and scientists at Birmingham University have spent

:03:01.:03:02.

millions testing out whether he can think freely like a human.

:03:03.:03:05.

He uses 3D technology to scan a room then checks later

:03:06.:03:08.

Bob uses similar technology to some video games.

:03:09.:03:25.

Robots replacing humans is not going to happen. It is just about getting

:03:26.:03:33.

this autonomous technology that will help us.

:03:34.:03:37.

Next, to the world's most endangered big cat - the Sumatran tiger.

:03:38.:03:40.

There are fewer than 500 of them left in the wild

:03:41.:03:43.

and experts say they could become extinct within the next 20 years.

:03:44.:03:46.

But now, one zookeeper has gone to extreme

:03:47.:03:48.

lengths to help protect them for a new TV series starting tonight.

:03:49.:03:50.

Tiger expert Giles Clark looked after two Sumatran tiger cubs called

:03:51.:03:53.

Spot and Stripe for four months after they were born

:03:54.:03:56.

Giles popped into the studio earlier and I asked him what it was

:03:57.:04:00.

It was an amazing privilege to have the men for the first four months of

:04:01.:04:05.

their lives. When they first came they were just two kilos. Why

:04:06.:04:11.

wouldn't you keep them at the zoo? Spot and Stripe will be kept in

:04:12.:04:15.

captivity all of their lives so to make them more adjusted to being

:04:16.:04:20.

around people the best way to give them that start was to hand rear

:04:21.:04:26.

them at home. Where are Spot and Stripe now? They now weigh 65 kilos

:04:27.:04:34.

so they are pretty big and they spend their time at the zoo with all

:04:35.:04:36.

of our other tigers. France have become the first team

:04:37.:04:40.

in World Cup history to benefit They beat Honduras 3-0,

:04:41.:04:43.

with this goal from Karim Benzema The French striker scored

the other two goals on Elsewhere, Lionel Messi was in top

form as Argentina beat World Cup newbies

:04:51.:04:53.

Bosnia-Herzegovina 2-1. Messi scored

:04:54.:04:57.

a spectacular second goal. In yesterday's other match,

:04:58.:04:59.

Switzerland scored a last minute England boss Roy Hodgson has been

:05:00.:05:01.

criticised for where he positioned Wayne Rooney in the team's match

:05:02.:05:14.

against Italy on Saturday night. The game finished in a 2-1 defeat

:05:15.:05:17.

and many said Rooney could have made more of an impact on the game if he

:05:18.:05:20.

had been used as centre forward. Former England and Manchester United

:05:21.:05:24.

defender Rio Ferdinand believes Wayne Rooney should be played

:05:25.:05:26.

in his favoured position I would put Wayne Rooney in the

:05:27.:05:41.

number nine roll up front. Sturridge is a talented player who can play

:05:42.:05:48.

around him. Let them go and hopefully they can get the three

:05:49.:05:50.

points for us. Prince George has been seen stepping

:05:51.:05:53.

out in public for the first time. He was seen walking about

:05:54.:05:56.

at a charity polo match on Sunday. The prince will be one next month

:05:57.:05:59.

but is already up and about with
