:00:00. > :00:00.It's time for Wednesday's top stories.
:00:00. > :00:08.Ayshah here this afternoon with all of this coming up.
:00:09. > :00:15.And the New Zealand police officers busting some serious moves.
:00:16. > :00:27.First, we've covered poo power before on Newsround,
:00:28. > :00:30.where poo is used to power everything from our heating, to
:00:31. > :00:43.Who'd have thought you could turn this...
:00:44. > :00:51.Every day, nearly 10 billion litres of urine is produced worldwide.
:00:52. > :00:55.That's enough to fill 4,000 Olympic-sized pools.
:00:56. > :00:58.And here in Bath, they are using urine to do
:00:59. > :01:10.This is possible by using this device.
:01:11. > :01:13.Inside the device there are bacteria eating the urine
:01:14. > :01:21.And those electrons are forced to flow through an external circuit.
:01:22. > :01:26.It's this flow of electrons that is actually electricity.
:01:27. > :01:28.This technology isn't new, but what's different about this
:01:29. > :01:33.device is that it's smaller, cheaper and more powerful.
:01:34. > :01:37.Well, because this is a fuel that we'll never run out of.
:01:38. > :01:44.Every day, we produce something like a litre and a half of urine.
:01:45. > :01:47.Could I use this to power my phone one day?
:01:48. > :01:51.This is what we're working on at the moment, to be able
:01:52. > :01:53.to generate enough power for a smartphone, a laptop
:01:54. > :02:00.OK, so powering my phone isn't the most important thing,
:02:01. > :02:03.of course, but it's hoped, one day, this technology could be
:02:04. > :02:07.used to provide electricity to people in poorer countries.
:02:08. > :02:10.So, next time you go to the loo, you can have a think
:02:11. > :02:15.about how your wee could be powering the future.
:02:16. > :02:18.Next, if you've been online today you might have noticed something
:02:19. > :02:21.new on our website - this signed version of Newsround.
:02:22. > :02:24.It's been specially made for Deaf Awareness Week.
:02:25. > :02:27.It includes some of our top stories, and it's been
:02:28. > :02:34.And Ashley's here now along with his interpreter Adrian.
:02:35. > :02:37.Adrian translates what I'm saying into British Sign Language so that
:02:38. > :02:43.Ashley can understand it, isn't that right?
:02:44. > :02:52.That is right. Adrian says out loud what Ashley is signing. Welcome both
:02:53. > :02:59.of you to Newsround. What is signed Newsround? Signed Newsround is the
:03:00. > :03:05.top stories, news reporting in British sign language. That means it
:03:06. > :03:08.is accessible for young deaf children to see, enjoy and talk
:03:09. > :03:15.about. He came into our studio today, what was that like? It was
:03:16. > :03:17.fantastic, a great experience. A lot of fun. Some challenges along the
:03:18. > :03:24.way because the process is different from making Newsround normally, but
:03:25. > :03:29.we are making it an sign language so we had to make some changes to fit
:03:30. > :03:35.the signing style. It all went really smoothly. What was the best
:03:36. > :03:42.part? Well, there was a funny moment. You might have seen we were
:03:43. > :03:50.talking about pee power, so when I was signing pee, it looked like
:03:51. > :03:57.this. That's sign language. Finally, why is this so important? It is of
:03:58. > :04:02.huge importance. Reporting the news in sign language so that young deaf
:04:03. > :04:06.children at home have got full access. They can see the news in
:04:07. > :04:11.their own language, what the headlines are. In daily life hearing
:04:12. > :04:14.children can talk about the news but deaf children are missing out on
:04:15. > :04:19.what the headlines are and what is happening in the world. Seeing it in
:04:20. > :04:24.sign language means they can learn and they have got that equal access.
:04:25. > :04:27.Thank you very much for joining us. That is online now.
:04:28. > :04:28.And finally, Ashley, you'll love this.
:04:29. > :04:31.Watch this clip of police in New Zealand.
:04:32. > :04:38.The officers are busting a move to encourage others to join
:04:39. > :04:40.the police there, and it's gone viral -
:04:41. > :04:45.They're hoping police officers around the world will take part
:04:46. > :04:59.Well, Hayley did it this morning, so, music!
:05:00. > :05:02.Hayley is back tomorrow morning at 7:40am.
