It's the weekend, Ayshah here with your headlines. Including a

:00:00.:00:10.

record-breaking Sport Relief total. We take a look at the loos of the

:00:11.:00:17.

future, that could change the world. First - just how important is your

:00:18.:00:20.

toilet to you? We're being completely serious here, because for

:00:21.:00:23.

lots of people around the world, a toilet is a luxury they don't have.

:00:24.:00:27.

It's thought that 2.5 billion people on Earth haven't got a working loo,

:00:28.:00:30.

and it means really serious diseases spread easily in poorer countries.

:00:31.:00:34.

Now a big event is taking place in India aiming to invent the toilet of

:00:35.:00:38.

the future, which could change the lives of billions.

:00:39.:00:44.

We use them every day and probably couldn't imagine life without one.

:00:45.:00:47.

But in the developing world, billions of people don't have

:00:48.:00:50.

toilets. One of the main problems is that in some countries, there simply

:00:51.:00:53.

isn't the water available to flush the waste away. Living without

:00:54.:00:57.

toilets can lead to poor health and really serious diseases such as

:00:58.:00:59.

cholera and typhoid. They're illnesses that we don't find in this

:01:00.:01:05.

country - and they can be deadly. That's why the richest man in the

:01:06.:01:08.

world, Microsoft founder Bill Gates is using his charity, the Bill and

:01:09.:01:12.

Melinda Gates Foundation, to set a challenge for inventors to come up

:01:13.:01:15.

with radical designs to make a new kind of loo that doesn't need fresh

:01:16.:01:28.

water to make it work. We use the contraption like this to

:01:29.:01:35.

carry the waste through the system. Solar power creates hot air. Then

:01:36.:01:49.

the sludge covers these balls. And then it goes into this bag.

:01:50.:01:54.

At the moment, these new toilet designs are still being developed

:01:55.:01:57.

but it's hoped that with loads of experts working together they'll

:01:58.:02:00.

invent a toilet of the future, to help make poorer countries healthier

:02:01.:02:02.

and safer places to live. It was a record-breaking total

:02:03.:02:06.

raised for Sport Relief last night - over ?51 million pounds! One of the

:02:07.:02:09.

highlights of the night was Clash of the Titans, which saw Seb Coe's team

:02:10.:02:13.

beat John Bishop's, going head to head with a sport packed programme

:02:14.:02:16.

of track cycling, rhythmic gymnastics and synchronised

:02:17.:02:18.

swimming. Even though her team lost, Helen Skelton said it was great fun.

:02:19.:02:25.

When they phoned me and Bish said "come and play on my team", I

:02:26.:02:29.

thought: yeah, all right, this will be a good laugh. But I didn't

:02:30.:02:33.

realise I'd have to swim against an Olympian. I was petrified to get in

:02:34.:02:36.

that pool alongside Amy Williams. But we had a really good time. Our

:02:37.:02:39.

rhythmic gymnastics was probably the highlight. I had to throw the ball,

:02:40.:02:43.

do a forward roll and catch it. The ball hit me on the backside, but I

:02:44.:02:48.

just styled it out and pretended I still had the ball!

:02:49.:02:50.

All today you've been telling us your favourite moments.

:02:51.:03:06.

Thanks so much for all those comments.

:03:07.:03:13.

Next, we're in the year of code - a big effort to get you guys learning

:03:14.:03:17.

the language of computers. One way is through code clubs - special

:03:18.:03:20.

after-school classes where experts teach how to build apps and make

:03:21.:03:24.

games! The aim is to get one in every single school - it's a big

:03:25.:03:28.

task that needs the help of a very important person.

:03:29.:03:31.

It was a very competitive line-up and an even tougher panel. Among the

:03:32.:03:35.

hopefuls to be patron of Code Club were: Skype founder, Niklas

:03:36.:03:40.

Zennstrom. Why would you like to work at Code Club?

:03:41.:03:48.

I made some software, called Skype. The brains behind YouTube, Chad

:03:49.:03:51.

Hurley. And even the man who invented the Web, Tim Berners-Lee.

:03:52.:03:54.

What would you bring to the table? I invented the World Wide Web.

:03:55.:03:58.

But they did not make the mark. Only one man did.

:03:59.:04:03.

I suppose I know some influential people.

:04:04.:04:04.

Like who? My mother.

:04:05.:04:07.

ALL: You're hired! Prince Andrew has been patron of

:04:08.:04:13.

Code Club since 2012. But how has he been doing?

:04:14.:04:17.

Since you were hired as patron of Code Club, what have you brought to

:04:18.:04:19.

the role? I have brought quite a lot,

:04:20.:04:22.

actually. Encouraging people to take up coding. And that's really

:04:23.:04:25.

important. Young people should look and see where their local Code Club

:04:26.:04:32.

is and join it. You were the first Royal to write

:04:33.:04:36.

some code. Have you talked any other Royals? I have not, as a matter of

:04:37.:04:45.

fact. That is partly because I have not had the time to do it. I work

:04:46.:04:53.

for Code Club two of them. Tell me about what you're doing.

:04:54.:05:00.

Well, we are trying to make this flapping bird. What else have you

:05:01.:05:10.

learned? I have learned to make games.

:05:11.:05:16.

From September, young people will be taught how to use code in class.

:05:17.:05:22.

Sport now: there's a massive showdown in the Premier League at

:05:23.:05:25.

lunch time. Arsenal against Chelsea will be Arsene Wenger's 1000th game

:05:26.:05:28.

in charge of the Gunners. He's called it the biggest game of the

:05:29.:05:33.

season for his side. Unfortunately, there is also a lot

:05:34.:05:37.

of suffering in 1000 games. What you want is the next moment of

:05:38.:05:40.

happiness. That means you're always looking forward to the next game,

:05:41.:05:44.

which will hopefully bring a moment of happiness.

:05:45.:05:54.
