Hi, I'm Naz with your Friday morning update, keep

0:00:070:00:10

watching for all of this:

0:00:100:00:11

Storming ahead, Para GB pass the 100 medal mark

0:00:110:00:13

on day eight of the games.

0:00:130:00:15

And the moment the moon fell to earth.

0:00:150:00:17

Well, sort of.

0:00:170:00:19

But first to the Paralympics, where Para GB are still second

0:00:280:00:31

in the table with 108 medals.

0:00:310:00:34

The team won five more golds on day eight, making 49 in total.

0:00:340:00:39

Here's a round-up of some of yesterday's best bits.

0:00:390:00:43

It was a glittering day of gold and silver medals for Para GB.

0:00:430:00:47

Richard Whitehead claimed joint silver in the 100m,

0:00:470:00:50

but it wasn't easy.

0:00:500:00:52

After a slow start, a huge burst of speed and some determination

0:00:520:00:56

pushed him into medal position.

0:00:560:00:58

Multi-medal winner Kadeena Cox added a silver to her collection,

0:00:580:01:01

leading out the sprint relay team with Maria Lyle,

0:01:010:01:05

Georgina Hermitage and Sophie Hahn - the team just missing out to China.

0:01:050:01:10

In the dressage, Natasha Baker - who's known as the Horse Whisperer -

0:01:100:01:14

got the gold with her horse, Cabral.

0:01:140:01:17

Gold too for Sophie Chistiansen.

0:01:170:01:19

She's not only a multiple paralympic champion,

0:01:190:01:22

but also has a first-class degree in maths, she may need it

0:01:220:01:26

to calculate her growing list of titles.

0:01:260:01:30

And when it comes to numbers, they say age is just another.

0:01:300:01:33

Well, Anne Dunham turns 68 this month and she won a silver.

0:01:330:01:39

Over on the waters of Rio, it was the first-ever time

0:01:390:01:42

para canoeing has been an event at the games, and Para GB

0:01:420:01:46

athletes took full advantage of the new sport.

0:01:460:01:49

20 years ago, Jeanette Chippington won gold as a swimmer, but this time

0:01:490:01:53

it was gold in the canoeing after she came back

0:01:530:01:56

from retirement to compete.

0:01:560:01:59

Emma Wiggs is another who has switched sports -

0:01:590:02:02

competing in sitting volleyball four years ago,

0:02:020:02:04

now a canoe gold medallist.

0:02:040:02:06

Anne Dickins was at those games in London too, as a volunteer.

0:02:060:02:10

She confessed to suffering seasickness the first

0:02:100:02:14

time she got in a canoe, but she got over that

0:02:140:02:16

to storm through and win the race.

0:02:160:02:23

Well, we've heard how many people watching the paralympics have been

0:02:230:02:31

But what is life like for children living with a disability in Brazil?

0:02:310:02:35

Martin's been to meet one 11-year-old boy in Rio to find out

0:02:350:02:37

what life is like for him.

0:02:370:02:39

I've come to a poor neighbourhood in the north of Rio to meet

0:02:480:02:52

a pretty cool dude.

0:02:520:02:54

As you can see, Davizinho doesn't let his disability hold him back.

0:02:540:03:00

Davi was born without fully formed arms and legs,

0:03:020:03:05

which can make everyday life difficult for him.

0:03:050:03:08

TRANSLATION: My aunt gave me a skateboard for Easter

0:03:110:03:13

when I was smaller to make it easier for me to get around.

0:03:130:03:16

So I kept training with this small, plastic skateboard, just help me.

0:03:160:03:22

Eventually, my mum bought me a wooden skateboard,

0:03:220:03:28

to come here to the park to start to learn how to do it properly.

0:03:280:03:32

It was a cool experience, since then, I've been

0:03:320:03:34

coming here to play.

0:03:340:03:35

Transport is very difficult around the city.

0:03:380:03:41

Things need to be more accessible.

0:03:410:03:44

The buses should be better for wheelchair users.

0:03:460:03:50

And there should be more ramps everywhere.

0:03:500:03:53

I'd also like cars to be more accessible too.

0:03:530:03:57

How do you feel about the Paralympics being

0:03:590:04:01

in the city of Rio?

0:04:010:04:07

The Paralympic Games are very important to me, I really like it.

0:04:070:04:10

It's encouraged me to do more sports.

0:04:100:04:12

Each day I watch one more sport, as it encourages me more,

0:04:120:04:16

it gives me more hope.

0:04:160:04:18

It was in another city, I wouldn't be watching with the same

0:04:180:04:21

emotion that it am here in Rio.

0:04:210:04:23

What message would you give to young people like

0:04:240:04:27

yourself have a disability?

0:04:270:04:31

Whenever you see a barrier or some difficulty, have faith,

0:04:310:04:37

and always keep your head up.

0:04:370:04:39

Don't let anything get you down.

0:04:390:04:42

Remember these three magic words - faith, determination, willpower -

0:04:420:04:47

and you'll go far and get your prize.

0:04:470:04:49

Now to a moon landing with a difference, check this out -

0:04:560:04:59

a huge moon-shaped balloon is causing chaos rolling

0:04:590:05:02

around Southern China.

0:05:020:05:04

It's been blowing across the motorways and rolling

0:05:040:05:06

over cars and people.

0:05:060:05:08

The huge balloon was part of the annual Moon Festival -

0:05:080:05:10

that's until it blew off in the strong winds.

0:05:100:05:14

And finally - have you ever lost something and then

0:05:140:05:17

months later found it?

0:05:170:05:19

Well, I reckon this one may beat even the luckiest of finds.

0:05:190:05:22

This woman lost her wedding ring almost 40 years ago in Spain whilst

0:05:220:05:26

she was swimming, and you'll never guess what - a diver has

0:05:260:05:30

only gone and found it!

0:05:300:05:33

The couple say they're really happy and just can't believe it!

0:05:330:05:38
