Good morning, Ayshah here with your mid-week stories this Wednesday. | 0:00:03 | 0:00:05 | |
Coming up: | 0:00:05 | 0:00:07 | |
Atchoo! | 0:00:07 | 0:00:09 | |
Scientists get up, close and personal with sneezing, and... | 0:00:09 | 0:00:12 | |
A step closer to space tourism? | 0:00:12 | 0:00:13 | |
A new rocket has a successful launch. | 0:00:13 | 0:00:16 | |
First up, to the Champions League, and Chelsea moved joint top | 0:00:25 | 0:00:28 | |
of Group G, after a comfortable 4-0 win at Maccabi Tel Aviv. | 0:00:28 | 0:00:32 | |
Arsenal's hopes in the competition are still alive | 0:00:32 | 0:00:34 | |
after their 3-0 victory against Dinamo Zagreb at the Emirates. | 0:00:34 | 0:00:38 | |
And Arsene Wenger thinks his side have a good chance. | 0:00:38 | 0:00:43 | |
What we want is to come out of the game tonight with | 0:00:43 | 0:00:46 | |
a chance to qualify and we needed to do the job and | 0:00:46 | 0:00:48 | |
Bayern Munich needed to do the job. | 0:00:48 | 0:00:50 | |
Both did it well and it gives us a chance. | 0:00:50 | 0:00:53 | |
How big the chance is, I don't know, but I believe we can do it. | 0:00:53 | 0:00:59 | |
There will be more Champions League action tonight, as well, with both | 0:00:59 | 0:01:02 | |
Manchester teams in action. | 0:01:02 | 0:01:03 | |
City may have qualified already, but are playing Juventus tonight. | 0:01:03 | 0:01:06 | |
United will be hoping to qualify for the next step of the competition | 0:01:06 | 0:01:10 | |
by beating PSV Eindhoven at home. | 0:01:10 | 0:01:16 | |
Animal news now, and scientists say over half of the world's primates | 0:01:16 | 0:01:19 | |
are on the brink of extinction. | 0:01:19 | 0:01:21 | |
Species of apes, lemurs and monkeys are some | 0:01:21 | 0:01:23 | |
of the creatures under threat. | 0:01:23 | 0:01:25 | |
Experts say destruction of their homes, particularly the burning and | 0:01:25 | 0:01:28 | |
clearing of tropical forests, as well as the hunting of the animals | 0:01:28 | 0:01:31 | |
for food and the illegal wildlife trade, are responsible | 0:01:31 | 0:01:34 | |
for the drop in monkey numbers. | 0:01:34 | 0:01:39 | |
Now, if you're eating your breakfast, look away - | 0:01:39 | 0:01:41 | |
because we're about to show you a giant sneeze in slow motion. | 0:01:41 | 0:01:44 | |
Scientists in the US have used high-speed video | 0:01:44 | 0:01:47 | |
to discover exactly how snot breaks into drops after it's ejected | 0:01:47 | 0:01:51 | |
from our mouths during a sneeze. | 0:01:51 | 0:01:54 | |
They discovered that mucus and saliva moves in sheets, bursts, | 0:01:54 | 0:01:56 | |
bags and beaded strings before becoming droplets. | 0:01:56 | 0:02:00 | |
It's hoped the research will help experts learn more | 0:02:00 | 0:02:03 | |
about how sneezing spreads germs. | 0:02:03 | 0:02:08 | |
With less than year to go until the Olympics games, | 0:02:08 | 0:02:10 | |
many sports are close to choosing their teams to take to Rio. | 0:02:10 | 0:02:13 | |
And one person hoping to make it is 16-year-old Rebekah Tiler. | 0:02:13 | 0:02:18 | |
Today she will compete as the youngest member of the GB team | 0:02:18 | 0:02:21 | |
in the Senior World Weightlifting Championships in the USA. | 0:02:21 | 0:02:23 | |
Rebekah started the sport when she was just 12 years old, | 0:02:23 | 0:02:27 | |
and and we sent BBC Olympic sport reporter Nick Hope to meet her. | 0:02:27 | 0:02:33 | |
Rebekah Tiler has an amazing talent. | 0:02:33 | 0:02:39 | |
She's just 16, but can lift over 120 kilograms above her head. | 0:02:39 | 0:02:43 | |
That's twice her own body weight. | 0:02:43 | 0:02:45 | |
I've been doing the sport for about four years now. | 0:02:45 | 0:02:48 | |
I actually started off as a sprinter when I was 12. | 0:02:48 | 0:02:51 | |
I went to the perform centre and I was lifting more than most | 0:02:51 | 0:02:54 | |
of the guys. | 0:02:54 | 0:02:55 | |
It's crazy. | 0:02:55 | 0:02:57 | |
A month later, I started doing it. | 0:02:57 | 0:02:59 | |
Everybody thinks it's a body-building sport. | 0:02:59 | 0:03:00 | |
You know, you get big muscles and you are | 0:03:00 | 0:03:03 | |
hairy and everything like men and stuff, but it's nothing like that. | 0:03:03 | 0:03:07 | |
They are all just normal girls. | 0:03:07 | 0:03:09 | |
Rebekah holds 30 British records, and her typical day involves | 0:03:09 | 0:03:12 | |
training and studying for college - something she is pleased to see | 0:03:12 | 0:03:15 | |
more girls trying themselves. | 0:03:15 | 0:03:19 | |
I think there's a lot more girls getting involved | 0:03:19 | 0:03:21 | |
in the sport now, which is really good, and that's what I wanted to do | 0:03:21 | 0:03:25 | |
- inspire more kids and girls to get in, because it's a great sport. | 0:03:25 | 0:03:28 | |
Houston in the USA is where Rebekah will make her debut at the | 0:03:28 | 0:03:31 | |
World Championships as a senior weightlifter. | 0:03:31 | 0:03:33 | |
And as an added bonus, she'll also be up against one of her idols - | 0:03:33 | 0:03:37 | |
Commonwealth champion Zoe Smith. | 0:03:37 | 0:03:38 | |
The first time I saw Zoe was at London 2012, and I was looking up | 0:03:38 | 0:03:41 | |
to her thinking, I could be like her if I trained hard. | 0:03:41 | 0:03:44 | |
So I am now, which is cool. | 0:03:44 | 0:03:49 | |
And you are going to be competing against her. | 0:03:49 | 0:03:53 | |
Which is really good, yes, that's going to be a good showdown. | 0:03:53 | 0:03:56 | |
She's a fantastic athlete, I can't knock her at all. | 0:03:56 | 0:03:58 | |
She has obviously been making huge gains recently, so it will be | 0:03:58 | 0:04:01 | |
a really, really good competition. | 0:04:01 | 0:04:02 | |
To be there and experience it is just going to be so cool. | 0:04:02 | 0:04:05 | |
Just really excited, can't wait to get on the platform | 0:04:05 | 0:04:07 | |
and show them how I lift. | 0:04:07 | 0:04:13 | |
Next, a new rocket designed to carry tourists into space has | 0:04:13 | 0:04:15 | |
launched successfully in America. | 0:04:15 | 0:04:17 | |
The New Shepard rocket took off from west Texas on Monday with no-one | 0:04:17 | 0:04:21 | |
aboard and landed safely again. | 0:04:21 | 0:04:23 | |
It's been made to carry up to six people into earths upper | 0:04:23 | 0:04:30 | |
atmosphere where they will be able to experience weightlessness. | 0:04:30 | 0:04:33 | |
The rocket is designed to take off and land standing up, | 0:04:33 | 0:04:35 | |
so it can used more than once. | 0:04:35 | 0:04:37 | |
Australia has started using drones with cameras to track sharks | 0:04:37 | 0:04:39 | |
on beaches. | 0:04:39 | 0:04:41 | |
The drones will send live pictures to a control centre | 0:04:41 | 0:04:43 | |
so the animals can be tracked. | 0:04:43 | 0:04:46 | |
They are being used alongside barriers in the sea, | 0:04:46 | 0:04:49 | |
and helicopters, after a number of attacks over the last year. | 0:04:49 | 0:04:53 | |
That's all from me, I'll be back in about half an hour. | 0:04:53 | 0:04:55 |
