Good morning, I'm Ayshah with Tuesday's Newsround.

0:00:100:00:13

And we're starting with a record breaker.

0:00:130:00:15

An aircraft powered entirely by the sun has finished its epic

0:00:150:00:18

round the world flight.

0:00:180:00:20

Solar Impulse 2 touched down in Abu-Dhabi in the early

0:00:200:00:23

hours of the morning.

0:00:230:00:25

The journey involved 17 separate stages around the world.

0:00:250:00:29

The final flight from Cairo in Egypt took more than 48 hours.

0:00:290:00:31

Next up, many children around the world are forced to work -

0:00:360:00:38

that means they can't do normal things like playing with their

0:00:380:00:41

friends or going to school.

0:00:410:00:42

This happens to thousands of children in Ghana in West Africa,

0:00:420:00:45

but there is now help.

0:00:450:00:46

Martin's got this.

0:00:460:00:49

This is Lake Volta in Ghana.

0:00:490:00:52

It's the African country's biggest fishing ground.

0:00:520:00:55

About 20,000 children are being forced to work on its waters -

0:00:550:01:00

some of them are sent to work by poor families in the hope

0:01:000:01:03

they will have a better life.

0:01:030:01:05

But they end up being made to work as fishermen,

0:01:050:01:09

and treated like slaves - made to work without pay

0:01:090:01:11

and stopped from leaving.

0:01:110:01:12

When he was ten, Dampson was taken from his family and made to work

0:01:120:01:16

as a fisherman for four years.

0:01:160:01:26

TRANSLATION:

0:01:310:01:33

A man came and said he was looking for someone to go

0:01:330:01:36

and sell drinking water.

0:01:360:01:37

My mother said I should go with him.

0:01:370:01:39

I was told I had to dive with them and if I didn't,

0:01:390:01:41

Dampson worked in dangerous conditions.

0:01:430:01:45

Some of the boys he met were injured or died.

0:01:450:01:49

Dampson was eventually rescued by a charity called

0:01:490:01:55

Challenging Heights.

0:01:550:01:58

He is now living with his dad and is back at school.

0:01:580:02:02

Dampson is slowly rebuilding his life.

0:02:020:02:08

Scientists heading to the UK's tallest mountain aren't

0:02:260:02:28

packing their walking boots, they're doing it in a submarine.

0:02:280:02:31

Confused?

0:02:310:02:32

Leah has more.

0:02:320:02:36

200 kilometres off the West Coast of Scotland,

0:02:360:02:39

a submarine is heading to

0:02:390:02:41

the UK's tallest mountains, hundreds of meters beneath the

0:02:410:02:49

the UK's tallest mountains, hundreds of metres beneath the

0:02:490:02:51

waves.

0:02:510:02:52

Coral is everywhere on the mountain tops, and is teeming with

0:02:520:02:55

creatures in the cold, dark waters.

0:02:550:02:56

The biggest mountain is 1700 metres tall and totally submerged

0:02:560:03:00

underwater.

0:03:000:03:07

On-board for six weeks, scientists have controlled

0:03:070:03:09

the underwater robots, watching the images streamed back.

0:03:090:03:13

This is the first time that anybody has seen

0:03:130:03:17

this seamount, has seen animals that live on this seamount.

0:03:170:03:19

How they live, what they live on, in between,

0:03:190:03:21

who lives with them.

0:03:210:03:22

And that's really exciting.

0:03:220:03:24

We saw some incredible things.

0:03:240:03:26

Now the research ship is back, docked in Southampton.

0:03:260:03:29

BBC reporter Rebecca Morelle managed to take

0:03:290:03:31

a look at what samples the

0:03:310:03:34

crew brought back.

0:03:340:03:36

Here's a small selection of them, we've got a coral

0:03:360:03:39

species that is possibly thousands of years old.

0:03:390:03:43

This one can grow several metres tall and a sponge

0:03:430:03:45

with tiny little creatures growing inside.

0:03:450:03:48

It's going to take months to analyse all this, but even now

0:03:480:03:51

the team think some of the species may be new to science.

0:03:510:03:55

The researchers say these seamounts are a marine life hotspot.

0:03:550:04:00

Lots of people think of the deep sea as being a

0:04:000:04:03

sort of desert of mud and in fact these mountain structures are far

0:04:030:04:06

from that.

0:04:060:04:08

So many animals, so much life.

0:04:080:04:12

Now the hard work starts, because scientists will have

0:04:120:04:14

to work out what they have and what they need to

0:04:140:04:17

do to protect what's

0:04:170:04:18

already living on Britain's deep sea mountains.

0:04:180:04:24

So that got us thinking, where would you like to

0:04:240:04:26

explore if you could?

0:04:260:04:27

The deepest ocean?

0:04:270:04:28

Maybe a safari or some ancient ruins?

0:04:280:04:31

Let us know where and why online now.

0:04:310:04:35

And finally, meet Purps the penguin from Connecticut in the USA.

0:04:350:04:39

She injured her left foot five years ago.

0:04:390:04:41

But now, thanks to school kids and experts at an aquarium,

0:04:410:04:44

they've designed a special boot for her - using a 3D printer.

0:04:440:04:49

Now she can pppp-pick up her penguin feet easily!

0:04:490:04:52

That's all for now, I'll be back in half an hour.
