This is Newsround with me, Ricky. On the way:

:00:00.:00:08.

The DNA testing that could reveal where your family lived a thousand

:00:09.:00:11.

years ago. The mystery over what caused a huge

:00:12.:00:13.

hole in this street in America. First, though, the UK could get its

:00:14.:00:23.

own spaceport in the future after the Government back plans to pump

:00:24.:00:27.

?40 billion into the project. They want to encourage more companies to

:00:28.:00:31.

develop ways of getting into space by 2030. They also want to figure

:00:32.:00:36.

out what needs to be done to have a port that would allow ordinary

:00:37.:00:39.

people to go into orbit. Similar space tourism projects are already

:00:40.:00:45.

being developed in America. And from spaceports to airports -

:00:46.:00:48.

and a big computer glitch has meant thousands of people are facing long

:00:49.:00:51.

waits this morning It's affected airports across the UK and means

:00:52.:00:55.

means passport details have to be typed in manually. Officials don't

:00:56.:00:59.

know what caused it and are still trying to fix the problem. The BBC's

:01:00.:01:04.

Chris King's been at one of the airports affected.

:01:05.:01:09.

Normally when you arrive at passport control, what happens is that they

:01:10.:01:14.

take your passport and scan it and it verifies that you are who you say

:01:15.:01:18.

you are and then they let you go on your way. But yesterday afternoon,

:01:19.:01:23.

there was a computer glitch and it was one of those that couldn't be

:01:24.:01:26.

solved by turning the computer off and on again. So when passengers got

:01:27.:01:31.

off the plane at places like Heathrow, Gatwick, Luton,

:01:32.:01:36.

Manchester, Gatwick and Stansted, they were greeted with large queues.

:01:37.:01:43.

Next - how much of the housework do you do? Not a lot? Well, children in

:01:44.:01:47.

Spain might not get away with lazing about at home in the future. The

:01:48.:01:50.

country's government has said it thinks all kids should help with the

:01:51.:01:53.

household chores. Could the idea catch on here? Here's Martin.

:01:54.:01:56.

Cooking dinner, mopping the floor, doing the dishes, cleaning my

:01:57.:02:00.

room... I'm not a fan of doing the housework. Oh, no. I prefer chilling

:02:01.:02:06.

out in front of the telly with a nice cup of tea. But children in

:02:07.:02:10.

Spain might not be able to relax so easily. The government has drafted

:02:11.:02:17.

some guidelines on how kids should behave - and one of these says

:02:18.:02:20.

everyone should help out with chores at home! But what do you guys think

:02:21.:02:24.

about this? Meet Jasmine, Kayden, Caitlynn and mum Kelly. I asked them

:02:25.:02:31.

about what they thought about it. I think it's a bit pathetic because,

:02:32.:02:37.

like, kids are going to think that they can't have time with their

:02:38.:02:41.

friends and everything. You've got school and you've got to do your

:02:42.:02:49.

chores. People, yeah, might just sit down and I think the government is

:02:50.:02:55.

right about it. It should be their mums telling them to grow up and get

:02:56.:03:00.

the house work done. I do agree that they should help out but I think it

:03:01.:03:03.

should be down to the parents to teach them that. What gets all the

:03:04.:03:09.

chores started in the house? My mum says that if you don't do it, she

:03:10.:03:22.

will be angry. I scream at Jasmine when she messes up the bed. If you

:03:23.:03:25.

hate housework, then don't worry, guys - we've not heard of any plans

:03:26.:03:29.

for such guidelines in the UK! But that's not saying that no-one else

:03:30.:03:34.

will ask you to do some chores. Come on, Martin, let's get cleaning. We

:03:35.:03:39.

want to know what you think about this on the website today. Here are

:03:40.:03:42.

some of the comments so far: Now, imagine being able to trace

:03:43.:04:21.

your family back to where they lived more than a thousand years ago.

:04:22.:04:24.

Well, a group of scientists claim they can do just that using state of

:04:25.:04:28.

the art DNA testing. They say they can pinpoint the exact village or

:04:29.:04:31.

tribe where your ancestors used to live. They do it by comparing the

:04:32.:04:35.

DNA sample - which carries info about who we are - to others from

:04:36.:04:38.

around the world. Next to the mystery over how part of

:04:39.:04:42.

a street collapsed It happened in Baltimore, America, when a pavement

:04:43.:04:45.

and wall slid onto rail tracks below. Around a dozen parked cars

:04:46.:04:48.

were sucked into the ground, but luckily no-one was injured. It's not

:04:49.:04:52.

clear what caused it - but the area has been hit by heavy rain this

:04:53.:04:54.

week. And finally, Springfield is set to

:04:55.:04:57.

get a plastic make over for the 550th episode of The Simpsons. To

:04:58.:05:01.

celebrate 25 years on air the whole
