:00:00. > :00:07.It's Wednesday 4th of June and you are with Newsround.
:00:08. > :00:16.I am Ricky with some of this on the way.
:00:17. > :00:23.Coming up, the moment this wedding party took an unexpected dip, and
:00:24. > :00:30.take a look inside my brain. This is newsround. First, the brand-new
:00:31. > :00:33.technology that is hoped will save many cyclists lives. The new
:00:34. > :00:37.technology tells bus drivers when a cyclist is nearby, even if they
:00:38. > :00:42.cannot see them. There is a radar and camera on the left side of the
:00:43. > :00:45.bus, which picks up the cyclists. Then the computer recognises that it
:00:46. > :00:49.is definitely a bike and sends a warning. It is hoped the technology
:00:50. > :00:53.will reduce the number of cyclists killed or injured on the roads. It
:00:54. > :00:57.is being tried out in Bristol and London. This is the first test of
:00:58. > :01:02.its kind in the UK, out on the streets, testing the technology in
:01:03. > :01:06.anger, where it is hoped it will really make a difference. Next, it
:01:07. > :01:09.is a big day for the Queen as she sets out what the government wants
:01:10. > :01:12.to do this year in a special speech when she opens Parliament. There are
:01:13. > :01:16.plants to introduce charges for plastic shopping bags in England
:01:17. > :01:23.with the money raised going to charity. They're going to change the
:01:24. > :01:26.rules on how much money all the people get when they finish work. It
:01:27. > :01:32.is a big moment for the government and a very grand occasion. For an
:01:33. > :01:36.example of how grand, look at this swanky new coach that the Queen will
:01:37. > :01:39.use to travel to Westminster. It is called the Diamond Jubilee coach,
:01:40. > :01:45.only the second state coach to be built in more than 100 years. It
:01:46. > :01:49.took ten years to complete. A new type of flying ambulance which
:01:50. > :01:54.does not need a pilot is being tested in Israel. The robot could be
:01:55. > :01:58.used to rescue injured people from battlefields. It does not need
:01:59. > :02:02.anyone to drive it, so it would be able to fly into places too
:02:03. > :02:05.dangerous for people. It could also be used to take supplies to remote
:02:06. > :02:09.areas. A new terminal has opened at the
:02:10. > :02:14.UK's busiest airport. Terminal two at Heathrow cost ?2.5 billion to
:02:15. > :02:19.build and replaces the first passenger building opened by the
:02:20. > :02:25.Queen in 1955. The first flights to arrive at the new terminal landed at
:02:26. > :02:28.6am this morning from Chicago. Next, brainpower. Have you ever
:02:29. > :02:33.revised for a test only to forget everything in the exam? Researchers
:02:34. > :02:36.say that brain training could be the answer to improving your memory and
:02:37. > :02:39.doing better with schoolwork. I have been finding out more.
:02:40. > :02:42.Our brains are incredible but complex organs,
:02:43. > :02:46.controlling the function of our bodies, storing our learning
:02:47. > :03:04.Tell us more about the brain and how it works?
:03:05. > :03:07.This is the front of your brain, where short-term memory is
:03:08. > :03:13.Short-term memory is the kind of memory used when you are sitting
:03:14. > :03:16.in the classroom and the teacher is telling you something
:03:17. > :03:19.new that you have not heard before and you have to learn it.
:03:20. > :03:22.Long-term memory is processed in the hippocampus,
:03:23. > :03:27.a structure here responsible for storing all the memories that
:03:28. > :03:31.We all have different memory abilities.
:03:32. > :03:36.Short-term memory improves up until the age of 14 and after 30,
:03:37. > :03:42.Scientists say that brain training can improve short-term memory
:03:43. > :03:48.These kids are trying to improve their brainpower, logged on to
:03:49. > :03:53.a series of laptops with a special brain training exercise on it.
:03:54. > :03:57.The higher the score, the better their memory.
:03:58. > :04:00.The programme works by asking you to remember different
:04:01. > :04:04.types of information, getting harder and harder the longer you train.
:04:05. > :04:08.Researchers say they have been impressed by the results.
:04:09. > :04:10.We are seeing that when the children work hard
:04:11. > :04:15.on these exercises, we are able to improve their short-term memories.
:04:16. > :04:20.I can recall instructions easier, and I know what the teacher has
:04:21. > :04:26.Although there are still lots of things we do not know
:04:27. > :04:29.about the brain and how memory works, in future, kids across
:04:30. > :04:35.the country could be taking part in brain training classes like this.
:04:36. > :04:45.And for more on this story, go to the newsround website.
:04:46. > :04:50.At weddings, everyone put on their best clothes, especially because
:04:51. > :04:53.they want to look good in the photos. But the photos went wrong
:04:54. > :04:58.for this couple in Minnesota, who had a nasty surprise when they were
:04:59. > :05:01.posing. Three lucky bridesmaids escaped,
