Good morning - I'm Jenny with all the top stories this Thursday.

:00:12.:00:14.

Let's go straight to the Olympic games in Rio -

:00:15.:00:17.

here's a round-up of what you missed last night...

:00:18.:00:20.

Great Britain are guaranteed another Olympic medal

:00:21.:00:22.

after the women's hockey team reached their very first final.

:00:23.:00:24.

It's now seven wins out of seven for the team and they're guaranteed

:00:25.:00:32.

at least a silver in Friday's final against the Netherlands.

:00:33.:00:37.

Usain Bolt cruised to victory in the 200 metres semi-finals

:00:38.:00:39.

to qualify for his eighth Olympic final with his fastest

:00:40.:00:42.

The Jamaican is aiming for an historic 'triple triple',

:00:43.:00:47.

to win gold in the 100 metre, 200 metre and 4 by 100 metre relays

:00:48.:00:51.

after doing so at the last two Olympics.

:00:52.:00:53.

Britain's Adam Gemili also qualified for the final.

:00:54.:01:00.

And Mo Farah has made a good start at defending his titles in the 5000

:01:01.:01:04.

There was a scary moment on the final lap of his 5k

:01:05.:01:10.

heat as he was clipped by the American Hassan Mead.

:01:11.:01:13.

But Farah survived the stumble to stride through in the closing

:01:14.:01:16.

stages and finish third, booking himself a place

:01:17.:01:18.

Bolt's team mate Elaine Thompson completed the women's sprint double,

:01:19.:01:21.

after winning the 200 metres last night.

:01:22.:01:23.

Team GB's Dina Asher-Smith finished fifth.

:01:24.:01:28.

But of course the big stars this week are the cyclists -

:01:29.:01:31.

every single member of the track team has won a medal.

:01:32.:01:34.

Ricky's been catching up with them in Rio.

:01:35.:01:39.

Team GB have done us proud, winning 50 medals so far.

:01:40.:01:48.

Lots of them coming from inside the velodrome.

:01:49.:01:54.

More than 24 hours after Laura Trott made history here, she made sure

:01:55.:01:57.

So, Laura, can you take yourself back to that seven-year-old girl,

:01:58.:02:02.

I still kind of feel like that little girl who rode her bike just

:02:03.:02:11.

It seems weird I have four gold medals now.

:02:12.:02:24.

If I can inspire that next generation and the medals do that,

:02:25.:02:27.

that is what I want to do and so be it.

:02:28.:02:30.

that is what I want to do and so be it, brilliant.

:02:31.:02:32.

Becky James and Katy Marchant won silver and bronze and still can't

:02:33.:02:35.

believe they got to share the podium together.

:02:36.:02:37.

We have worked so hard together over the last months

:02:38.:02:46.

wanted to be on it so, yeah, it is great.

:02:47.:02:49.

We have worked so hard together over the last months and both

:02:50.:02:52.

wanted to be on it so, yeah, it is great.

:02:53.:02:54.

Now the competition is over they can kick back and relax

:02:55.:02:56.

at the Athletes' Village here in Rio.

:02:57.:02:58.

The accomodation is spacious, we are sharing a room.

:02:59.:03:12.

They have a pool table, giant Jenga and stuff.

:03:13.:03:14.

Callum Skinner told us cycling was not his thing

:03:15.:03:18.

Fencing, kayaking, anything I could give go.

:03:19.:03:25.

It is just that sensation, the corners in the velodrome

:03:26.:03:27.

are really tight because the banking is steep.

:03:28.:03:29.

If you have a need for speed it is the perfect place to get it.

:03:30.:03:35.

You get really big G-force going down that corner really fast.

:03:36.:03:39.

For Laura the most important thing after her race was to spend time

:03:40.:03:42.

Me and Jason went back to the Athletes' Village and people

:03:43.:03:46.

asked if we celebrated but we were just so tired we wanted

:03:47.:03:49.

But my family were so supportive - they have been there

:03:50.:03:53.

through thick and thin, and they see the two sides of me,

:03:54.:03:57.

the one determined out on the track and the one with the little wobbles

:03:58.:04:04.

in the background that nobody else sees.

:04:05.:04:06.

If they were did not there I do not know what I would do without them.

:04:07.:04:10.

Doctors and dentists say they aren't happy with the Government's plan

:04:11.:04:14.

to do something about how many children are obese.

:04:15.:04:16.

One in ten five-years-olds are now unheathily overweight.

:04:17.:04:19.

The plan, announced today, includes an extra tax for companies

:04:20.:04:22.

that make sugary drinks but it doesn't stop offers

:04:23.:04:24.

There is also an extra boost for sport in schools.

:04:25.:04:27.

Well, this week is the first week back at school for some of you -

:04:28.:04:31.

online, we asked for your comments about going back to class,

:04:32.:04:34.

Elizabeth from Fife, in Scotland, says she's starting secondary school

:04:35.:04:38.

this week and she's so excited to meet new people

:04:39.:04:40.

Cameron from Aberdeenshire has a new teacher when he heads back

:04:41.:04:44.

and he's looking forward to meeting her!

:04:45.:04:48.

And Georgia from Edinburgh says she's looking forward to returning

:04:49.:04:51.

because her new playground is getting built.

:04:52.:04:52.

Thank you so much for all your comments, and good luck to everyone

:04:53.:04:55.

Now, what do you get if you cross a plane

:04:56.:05:04.

The answer is the world's longest aircraft, the Airlander 10,

:05:05.:05:08.

which took off in Bedfordshire last night.

:05:09.:05:10.

It's as long as a football pitch and as tall as six

:05:11.:05:13.

It doesn't even need an airport - it can take off and land vertically.

:05:14.:05:19.

Some people are calling it a 'giant flying bottom'.

:05:20.:05:23.

This is the "passinho", the latest Brazilian dance

:05:24.:05:36.

craze that's massive with young people there.

:05:37.:05:38.

With all the focus on Rio because of the Olympics,

:05:39.:05:40.

the moves have attracted millions of views online.

:05:41.:05:42.

It's even drawn the attention of big stars like Beyonce -

:05:43.:05:45.

expect to see it in music videos soon.

:05:46.:05:47.

No, don't worry, I won't put you through that!

:05:48.:05:50.

That's all from me - Newsround's back this afternoon.
