Ricky here with your latest Newsround.

:00:00.:00:07.

Coming up this Wednesday afternoon: What happens

:00:08.:00:11.

when drones go underwater, and get your questions

:00:12.:00:12.

He's the first British man to live in space and made a very brave

:00:13.:00:28.

journey back to Earth a few weeks ago, but how did Tim Peake do

:00:29.:00:32.

when he was given quick-fire questions from kids

:00:33.:00:34.

Is it true you can see the great Wall of China from space? Through a

:00:35.:00:48.

camera lens, but not through the naked eye. Did you get to vote in

:00:49.:00:58.

the EU referendum? Yes. Could you see all the planets orbiting the sun

:00:59.:01:01.

when you are in the International Space Station? Not all of them with

:01:02.:01:07.

the naked eye, but Jupiter, Saturn, Venus, and Mars, really stand out.

:01:08.:01:12.

Do you need a passport to go into space? No. Can you have a bath or a

:01:13.:01:22.

shower in space? A wet flannel. A bit like camping. What is it like

:01:23.:01:28.

being away from your family? It is tough but we have great

:01:29.:01:30.

communications from the space station.

:01:31.:01:31.

He could be in for a win at an award ceremony just for cats,

:01:32.:01:38.

after he helped his owner Harri through a tough time.

:01:39.:01:42.

You might have heard of the brave dogs that helped rescue people in

:01:43.:01:48.

disasters of fires. Or of the horses who helped the police are now in

:01:49.:01:53.

control. But watch out, there is a new era in town. Meet Houdini. He

:01:54.:01:58.

might look back and ordinary cat but to Harry he is a lot more than that.

:01:59.:02:04.

He helps me on a day-to-day basis because when I get home he normally

:02:05.:02:12.

comes to me and helped me. He is one of 15 finalists in a competition to

:02:13.:02:17.

find the cat of the year. He was nominated for the award because he

:02:18.:02:20.

has helped Harry get through some toff times. Houdini makes me feel

:02:21.:02:29.

happy and safe. Also in the running for the award is this cat, who

:02:30.:02:35.

helped Jessica Cope with her autism, and another who helped Lily deal

:02:36.:02:41.

with her brother's illness. The winner is announced in August,

:02:42.:02:44.

gridlock to all the cats taking part, and their human owners.

:02:45.:02:46.

Next up, scientists in the US working with drones.

:02:47.:02:48.

But they're not using them to fly high up into the air.

:02:49.:02:51.

This team are sending drones deep underwater.

:02:52.:03:01.

These days drones can be used in loads of different ways. They can

:03:02.:03:08.

detect fires, help farmers inspect their crops, they can be used in

:03:09.:03:12.

search and rescue operations, and for a bit of fun too. Now they can

:03:13.:03:20.

even explore the deep sea. A team from the US have developed this

:03:21.:03:27.

drone which has been specially modified to search for objects 100

:03:28.:03:31.

metres under the surface of the sea. Once it has been lowered into the

:03:32.:03:37.

water a team back on dry land can direct it back to wherever they

:03:38.:03:40.

wanted to go. We don't know what will happen, this is brand-new

:03:41.:03:46.

equipment we are testing out. A camera on-board films everything.

:03:47.:03:53.

Today these scientists are using it to get a tour of an old steamship

:03:54.:03:58.

which sunk in this in Nevada lake in the US. Experts say they are a site

:03:59.:04:04.

about the technology because it does not cost a lot of money, just over

:04:05.:04:11.

?1000. Which is much cheaper than sending a really expensive submarine

:04:12.:04:15.

underwater to capture images that have not been seen for years.

:04:16.:04:17.

Tomorrow morning, I'll be catching up with Ruby Barnhill,

:04:18.:04:19.

the 11-year-old girl who stars as Sophie in the BFG movie.

:04:20.:04:22.

She'll be live on Newsround and answering your questions.

:04:23.:04:26.

So get online and get them in right now.

:04:27.:04:29.

Whilst you're there check out this toilet themed restaurant that's

:04:30.:04:31.

opened up and find about the world's hottest chilli heading

:04:32.:04:34.

Finally lets finish up on a record for the world's biggest

:04:35.:04:40.

Hundreds got together at an ancient site in Mexico wearing costumes

:04:41.:04:44.

Well we're out of time but Newsround's back

:04:45.:04:52.
