This is Newsround, you're live with me Ayshah this morning. | 0:00:02 | 0:00:05 | |
Stick around for some of this. | 0:00:05 | 0:00:07 | |
These cuties make their debut at a New York zoo and the maker | 0:00:07 | 0:00:10 | |
of a new dinosaur movie drops in to tell us all about it. | 0:00:10 | 0:00:14 | |
But first, to a big break through that scientists | 0:00:24 | 0:00:28 | |
hope one day could wipe out one of the most deadly diseases on earth. | 0:00:28 | 0:00:28 | |
Experts in the US say they've created a mosquito that is | 0:00:31 | 0:00:34 | |
unable to carry malaria. | 0:00:34 | 0:00:35 | |
The disease is passed to humans through bites from mosquitos | 0:00:35 | 0:00:38 | |
like these. | 0:00:38 | 0:00:40 | |
It's a huge problem in countries across Asia, | 0:00:40 | 0:00:41 | |
Africa and South America. | 0:00:41 | 0:00:43 | |
Scientists have worked out how to change the insect | 0:00:43 | 0:00:46 | |
so that it is resistent to malaria and not just that. | 0:00:46 | 0:00:48 | |
When the insect produces young, the new mosquitoes are malaria free too. | 0:00:48 | 0:00:53 | |
They hope this plan, if it works in the wild, will | 0:00:53 | 0:00:55 | |
eventually wipe out the disease. | 0:00:55 | 0:00:58 | |
Next to the girl who is being turned into a comic hero. | 0:00:58 | 0:01:01 | |
Fed up of not seeing cartoon characters with disabilities, | 0:01:01 | 0:01:03 | |
Emily decided to take action. | 0:01:03 | 0:01:05 | |
Along with ther dad, Dan, they've invented a comic strip | 0:01:05 | 0:01:08 | |
called The Department of Ability and Ricky went to meet them. | 0:01:08 | 0:01:13 | |
Emily is nine years old. | 0:01:13 | 0:01:16 | |
She has a condition called spina bifida which makes it | 0:01:16 | 0:01:19 | |
difficult to move around. | 0:01:19 | 0:01:20 | |
Like loads of young kids, she loves reading, playing guitar, | 0:01:20 | 0:01:26 | |
football, and basketball, and when she's not busy doing all | 0:01:26 | 0:01:30 | |
that, she is also a superhero. | 0:01:30 | 0:01:36 | |
Dad Dan has turned his daughter into a comic book star and it's | 0:01:41 | 0:01:45 | |
in this room where the characters come to life. | 0:01:45 | 0:01:48 | |
There's five characters, and the name of the comic is DOA, | 0:01:54 | 0:01:59 | |
short for Department of Ability. | 0:01:59 | 0:02:01 | |
And we've got our own theme tune. | 0:02:01 | 0:02:03 | |
They're all disabled apart from the creator of them, the person | 0:02:03 | 0:02:08 | |
who joined them all together. | 0:02:08 | 0:02:11 | |
So what kind of superpowers does your character have? | 0:02:11 | 0:02:13 | |
A flying wheelchair, lasers on her wheelchair. | 0:02:13 | 0:02:19 | |
Emily's dad is obsessed with comics. | 0:02:19 | 0:02:21 | |
Some of the characters he's created are based on other | 0:02:21 | 0:02:24 | |
children with disabilities. | 0:02:24 | 0:02:26 | |
Together they make up Team Strong Bones. | 0:02:26 | 0:02:28 | |
The Department of Ability came to life when Emily was born, and at | 0:02:30 | 0:02:33 | |
the time we just started watching television, reading comics, she was | 0:02:33 | 0:02:36 | |
looking for something she could relate to, ie disabled characters. | 0:02:36 | 0:02:38 | |
And when we couldn't find any, I set about designing my own group of | 0:02:38 | 0:02:42 | |
superheroes with disabilities that she could read and actually enjoy. | 0:02:42 | 0:02:45 | |
Some shows I don't really see people in wheelchairs. | 0:02:45 | 0:02:51 | |
And how does that make you feel? | 0:02:51 | 0:02:53 | |
Kind of upset. | 0:02:53 | 0:02:55 | |
The aim of the comic is to remind young people | 0:02:55 | 0:02:57 | |
that anyone can be a superhero. | 0:02:57 | 0:03:00 | |
The charity Strong Bones is publishing the very first issue of | 0:03:00 | 0:03:03 | |
the comic at the start of next year. | 0:03:03 | 0:03:05 | |
Go Super Emily! | 0:03:05 | 0:03:07 | |
Arsenal are fighting to stay in the Champions League. They need a win | 0:03:11 | 0:03:14 | |
against Dinamo Zagreb to stand any chance of qualifying. But if results | 0:03:14 | 0:03:18 | |
go Chelsea's way a victory at Maccabi Tel Aviv would send them | 0:03:18 | 0:03:21 | |
through. | 0:03:21 | 0:03:25 | |
After more than 15 years working as a writer, an animator and even | 0:03:31 | 0:03:34 | |
the voice behind the character Squishy in Monsters University, | 0:03:34 | 0:03:36 | |
Peter Sohn is trying his hand at directing for the very first time. | 0:03:36 | 0:03:40 | |
The Good Dinosaur is the next Disney Pixar animation to hit | 0:03:40 | 0:03:42 | |
the big screens this Friday and Martin caught up with him. | 0:03:42 | 0:03:44 | |
Peter, I've got to be honest, I love animated films. | 0:03:49 | 0:03:51 | |
What is The Good Dinosaur all about? | 0:03:51 | 0:03:53 | |
It's about this young dinosaur boy who's like 11 years old. | 0:03:53 | 0:04:00 | |
He's born in a farm family and he's afraid of everything. | 0:04:00 | 0:04:03 | |
And so he goes on this journey and he meets this new friend that helps | 0:04:03 | 0:04:06 | |
him become more brave and stronger, and he learns to survive out there. | 0:04:06 | 0:04:11 | |
Why is this animation so special for you? | 0:04:11 | 0:04:14 | |
This is my first time directing a feature. | 0:04:14 | 0:04:15 | |
I directed a short, but it was only about five minutes | 0:04:15 | 0:04:18 | |
long, this is 85 minutes long, so it's a whole other game. | 0:04:18 | 0:04:21 | |
It's the same kind of thing with the storytelling. | 0:04:21 | 0:04:23 | |
Aren't you the cutest thing? | 0:04:23 | 0:04:25 | |
What is the process like? | 0:04:25 | 0:04:26 | |
I can imagine it being pretty difficult. | 0:04:26 | 0:04:29 | |
What is interesting about animation is that you have to make everything, | 0:04:29 | 0:04:32 | |
you can't photograph anything, so you have to build everything, really | 0:04:32 | 0:04:37 | |
design the eyes, so every little thing about the dinosaurs in the | 0:04:37 | 0:04:41 | |
world has to be made and it takes a long time. | 0:04:41 | 0:04:44 | |
Get out of your sister's bubble. | 0:04:44 | 0:04:46 | |
One of my favourite animations of all time is Up. | 0:04:46 | 0:04:50 | |
You've got a story when it comes to that animation, | 0:04:50 | 0:04:53 | |
can you tell us about it? | 0:04:53 | 0:04:54 | |
Yes, absolutely. | 0:04:54 | 0:04:55 | |
In working that movie, you are sitting around with | 0:04:55 | 0:04:59 | |
your friends drawing each other. | 0:04:59 | 0:05:02 | |
One of my friends drew a really kooky drawing of me that kind of | 0:05:02 | 0:05:05 | |
looks like a thumb with a hat on it. | 0:05:05 | 0:05:07 | |
Shake. | 0:05:07 | 0:05:08 | |
Speak. Hi there. | 0:05:08 | 0:05:11 | |
And they started using that design, that drawing of a thumb as Russell, | 0:05:11 | 0:05:15 | |
that character in the movie. But they just based the shape of him | 0:05:15 | 0:05:21 | |
after my face and it was so funny. | 0:05:21 | 0:05:26 | |
And check out this couple of cuties! | 0:05:30 | 0:05:32 | |
These red pandas have just made their public debut at a zoo | 0:05:32 | 0:05:35 | |
in the US. | 0:05:35 | 0:05:37 | |
The little creatures were born in July in New York, | 0:05:37 | 0:05:39 | |
but haven't been given names yet. | 0:05:39 | 0:05:41 | |
Red pandas look similar to raccoons and have a reddish-brown coat | 0:05:41 | 0:05:43 | |
and a long furry tail, but unlike giant pandas they're not | 0:05:43 | 0:05:46 | |
members of the bear family. | 0:05:46 | 0:05:48 | |
Everyone was excited to see little guys because they're considered to | 0:05:48 | 0:05:51 | |
be very vulnerable in the wild. | 0:05:51 | 0:05:52 | |
That's all from me, Ricky's here at 4.20pm. Bye! | 0:05:52 | 0:05:56 |
