It's time for Wednesday's top stories.

:00:00.:00:00.

Ayshah here this afternoon with all of this coming up.

:00:00.:00:08.

And the New Zealand police officers busting some serious moves.

:00:09.:00:15.

First, we've covered poo power before on Newsround,

:00:16.:00:27.

where poo is used to power everything from our heating, to

:00:28.:00:30.

Who'd have thought you could turn this...

:00:31.:00:43.

Every day, nearly 10 billion litres of urine is produced worldwide.

:00:44.:00:51.

That's enough to fill 4,000 Olympic-sized pools.

:00:52.:00:55.

And here in Bath, they are using urine to do

:00:56.:00:58.

This is possible by using this device.

:00:59.:01:10.

Inside the device there are bacteria eating the urine

:01:11.:01:13.

And those electrons are forced to flow through an external circuit.

:01:14.:01:21.

It's this flow of electrons that is actually electricity.

:01:22.:01:26.

This technology isn't new, but what's different about this

:01:27.:01:28.

device is that it's smaller, cheaper and more powerful.

:01:29.:01:33.

Well, because this is a fuel that we'll never run out of.

:01:34.:01:37.

Every day, we produce something like a litre and a half of urine.

:01:38.:01:44.

Could I use this to power my phone one day?

:01:45.:01:47.

This is what we're working on at the moment, to be able

:01:48.:01:51.

to generate enough power for a smartphone, a laptop

:01:52.:01:53.

OK, so powering my phone isn't the most important thing,

:01:54.:02:00.

of course, but it's hoped, one day, this technology could be

:02:01.:02:03.

used to provide electricity to people in poorer countries.

:02:04.:02:07.

So, next time you go to the loo, you can have a think

:02:08.:02:10.

about how your wee could be powering the future.

:02:11.:02:15.

Next, if you've been online today you might have noticed something

:02:16.:02:18.

new on our website - this signed version of Newsround.

:02:19.:02:21.

It's been specially made for Deaf Awareness Week.

:02:22.:02:24.

It includes some of our top stories, and it's been

:02:25.:02:27.

And Ashley's here now along with his interpreter Adrian.

:02:28.:02:34.

Adrian translates what I'm saying into British Sign Language so that

:02:35.:02:37.

Ashley can understand it, isn't that right?

:02:38.:02:43.

That is right. Adrian says out loud what Ashley is signing. Welcome both

:02:44.:02:52.

of you to Newsround. What is signed Newsround? Signed Newsround is the

:02:53.:02:59.

top stories, news reporting in British sign language. That means it

:03:00.:03:05.

is accessible for young deaf children to see, enjoy and talk

:03:06.:03:08.

about. He came into our studio today, what was that like? It was

:03:09.:03:15.

fantastic, a great experience. A lot of fun. Some challenges along the

:03:16.:03:17.

way because the process is different from making Newsround normally, but

:03:18.:03:24.

we are making it an sign language so we had to make some changes to fit

:03:25.:03:29.

the signing style. It all went really smoothly. What was the best

:03:30.:03:35.

part? Well, there was a funny moment. You might have seen we were

:03:36.:03:42.

talking about pee power, so when I was signing pee, it looked like

:03:43.:03:50.

this. That's sign language. Finally, why is this so important? It is of

:03:51.:03:57.

huge importance. Reporting the news in sign language so that young deaf

:03:58.:04:02.

children at home have got full access. They can see the news in

:04:03.:04:06.

their own language, what the headlines are. In daily life hearing

:04:07.:04:11.

children can talk about the news but deaf children are missing out on

:04:12.:04:14.

what the headlines are and what is happening in the world. Seeing it in

:04:15.:04:19.

sign language means they can learn and they have got that equal access.

:04:20.:04:24.

Thank you very much for joining us. That is online now.

:04:25.:04:27.

And finally, Ashley, you'll love this.

:04:28.:04:28.

Watch this clip of police in New Zealand.

:04:29.:04:31.

The officers are busting a move to encourage others to join

:04:32.:04:38.

the police there, and it's gone viral -

:04:39.:04:40.

They're hoping police officers around the world will take part

:04:41.:04:45.

Well, Hayley did it this morning, so, music!

:04:46.:04:59.

Hayley is back tomorrow morning at 7:40am.

:05:00.:05:02.
