This is Newsround on Friday the 20th of May.

The tiny flying robots that have been invented in the US.

Plus, what made this weatherman lose his cool.

First this morning, 24 hours have passed since a plane on its way

There's still no sign of it and now the RAF and the Royal Navy

A search is underway to find out why a plane went missing yesterday.

The EgyptAir flight was carrying 66 people on a journey

from Paris in France to Cairo in Egypt, when the radars that keep

track of aircrafts as they travel lost touch with it.

Boats have been sent to look for any signs of wreckage

in the Mediterranean Sea, where the plane went missing.

No-one yet knows exactly what happened but search teams

Security experts say it might have been caused by terrorism,

but no-one is sure and nothing has been ruled out.

Millions of flights take place every year and events like this

The answer to what happened could be found in the black box -

a special device which records what happens inside a plane.

Investigations can be very complicated but more information

is expected to be announced over the next few days.

Remember, if there's anything in the news that upsets you,

you can head online and take a look at our special guide for advice

on what to do, and of course, we'll keep you updated on this story.

Tiny flying robots that can perch on the ceiling might sound

like something from a sci-fi movie, but now scientists in the US have

The tiny drones are about the size of a 10p coin and they're

thought to be the world's smallest winged robots.

Here to tell us more is BBC reporter Victoria Gill.

Thanks for joining us. Tell us, what do you think these robots can

actually do? They can fly and they are very tiny.

The idea is they would be usable as a swarm. They look like insects when

they fly and what the robot scientists at Harbord want to do is

make a horse War of them so you can carry the little sensors. If you

imagine a swarm of insect robots could send over the area of a forest

fire... -- Harvard. They would have a sensor to detect what is the most

intensely burning area of that fire. These robots are working together.

You see a lot of this. Our scientists looking at the natural

word for inspiration for creating new robots?

Absolutely. These are inspired by nature. When you watch them fly, you

can see how insect like there. The project at Harvard Harvard is

actually called robot be, because it is like a robotic be, and that is

studying how insect work on a large scale. -- robotic bee. They are tiny

and fragile but achieve acrobatic feats. The special little extra on

this particular achievement is that they have little landing pads and a

switchable electrostatic charge. That is the same charge you charge

able loon with, which you could stick to the wall, with a balloon.

You can switch on that landing pad so they stick and let go and fly

around. I imagine scientists sticking

balloons to their heads to work out how.

Swimming now, and Great Britain's success at the European Swimming

Ross Murdoch's gold in the 200m breaststroke was one of five medals

won at London's Aquatics Centre last night, but the champ won't be

competing in the event at the Rio Olympics after failing

It's been a long time coming, that swim.

To be that in season, to be that quick, to come away

with a gold medal here, I never thought that would be

happening here, so I'm absolutely delighted.

I had a little bit of a bad week a few weeks ago,

so it's just to prove to them that everything I do has been happening,

and we are on course for the next cycle, certainly.

If you're a fan of a team outside the Premier League,

you might soon have fewer matches to go to.

The big shake-up means there could be fewer teams

The Football League wants there to be 20 teams in each

They believe the change could help player development and reduce

Next, an historic golf club in Scotland has voted

to keep its rule that women can't be full members.

Female golfers can go to the course at Muirfield but only as visitors,

something that some people think is unfair and old-fashioned.

Well, we want to know what you think.

Should all clubs be open to both men and women?

Do you think it's fair to have clubs just for one or the other?

Ella's been in touch to let us know what she thinks.

She says, I think women should be allowed in any

Do head online and let us know your views.

Finally, how do you feel about spiders?

Well, a weatherman in the US has made his feelings very clear.

Texas is always the national champion...

A spider had crawled onto the screen during his forecast,

The team behind the camera can be heard laughing at him,

and luckily the weatherman saw the funny side too,
