Good morning, it's Thursday, Ayshah here with everything

:00:00.:00:00.

Live on the show we've got the girl whose mean machine battled it out

:00:07.:00:12.

on Robot Wars and from Robot Wars to Cat Wars - there's

:00:13.:00:16.

a scrap breaking out on the Prime Minister's street.

:00:17.:00:27.

But first - lots of you have probably already spent a few minutes

:00:28.:00:31.

this morning on your smartphones, tablets and the internet.

:00:32.:00:34.

Well new research out today says that adults are spending too much

:00:35.:00:37.

In fact one in three say they are missing on family time

:00:38.:00:43.

And it's not just grown-ups - one in four teenagers said

:00:44.:00:49.

being online too long has made them late for school.

:00:50.:00:51.

Experts reckon too much tech is not great for family relationships.

:00:52.:01:00.

Kids and parents are not spending enough time

:01:01.:01:07.

talking to each other as a family, whether it is the phones

:01:08.:01:09.

beeping with messages from work or the kids at the table

:01:10.:01:12.

So is tech taking over in your house?

:01:13.:01:15.

Are the adults in your family always on their phones?

:01:16.:01:18.

Are you addicted to instant messaging your mates?

:01:19.:01:20.

Or do you limit your time on devices?

:01:21.:01:21.

And whilst you're there, you can watch what happens when we take away

:01:22.:01:26.

the tech from some device-addicted kids.

:01:27.:01:31.

The 2016 Rio Olympic Games leap into life tomorrow with a big

:01:32.:01:34.

opening ceremony and it is Andy Murray who has been announced

:01:35.:01:37.

as the flag bearer for Great Britain at the event.

:01:38.:01:39.

It's the tennis champion's third Olympic Games.

:01:40.:01:43.

In 2012, he won both a gold and silver medal for Team GB and has

:01:44.:01:46.

won two Wimbledon titles since. What a legend.

:01:47.:01:48.

While most of us have got our eyes on Rio,

:01:49.:01:51.

there are some sports which are looking ahead to the next

:01:52.:01:53.

Last night, the International Olympic Committee announced that

:01:54.:01:59.

surfing, baseball, karate, and climbing will all be included

:02:00.:02:02.

Shauna Coxsey is one of Britain's best climbing stars.

:02:03.:02:11.

We asked her what this means for the sport.

:02:12.:02:14.

The Olympics is such a prestigious event.

:02:15.:02:18.

It is the dream for all sports, to be there and it is something

:02:19.:02:22.

I never expected in my professional career, never expected climbing

:02:23.:02:24.

It is such an historic moment for our sport.

:02:25.:02:29.

The first Olympic Games as a climber, I think people

:02:30.:02:31.

are really going to want to train hard for it.

:02:32.:02:33.

It's one of the biggest new TV shows, and while your parents might

:02:34.:02:39.

remember it from years ago, it's had a re-vamp.

:02:40.:02:41.

We're talking about Robot Wars, where competitors challenge

:02:42.:02:46.

the house robots with their home-made inventions.

:02:47.:02:48.

We are lucky enough to have one of the stars of this week's show

:02:49.:02:51.

right here on the sofa. Hi, April, welcome to the show.

:02:52.:02:55.

She is in charge of glittered bomb. -- Glitterbomb. It is bright pink

:02:56.:03:08.

and sparkly. That is a surprise! What else? And it has got an axe. We

:03:09.:03:14.

have got the axe here. This is so heavy, what does it do? It comes

:03:15.:03:19.

down on their really long pole and it smashes the other robots. That

:03:20.:03:27.

sounds brutal. And what is this? This is shimmer and sparkle and they

:03:28.:03:36.

are our team mascots. Like your cheerleaders? And what was it like

:03:37.:03:41.

being on the show? How excited were you? I was really excited and a bit

:03:42.:03:47.

nervous as well. I can imagine. Were there many girls on the show? Many

:03:48.:03:52.

girly robots with lots of pink on it? It is more like big boys and

:03:53.:04:00.

their toys, that is why I wanted to bring a little more sparkle to the

:04:01.:04:04.

show. You have definitely done that and would you like to see more girls

:04:05.:04:09.

getting involved in building robots? Yes. Why? Because everyone thinks it

:04:10.:04:17.

is all about the boys but we need girls in this as well and girls need

:04:18.:04:25.

to bring lots of sparkle into this. And lastly, why do you like robots?

:04:26.:04:30.

Because they can let us do amazing things we wouldn't normally be able

:04:31.:04:40.

to do, like go to Marx, -- Mars and little girls like me can make big

:04:41.:04:41.

men cry! Next up, there's a big disagreement

:04:42.:04:46.

brewing on Downing Street, where the Prime Minister lives

:04:47.:04:49.

in London, but it's got nothing Larry, the Prime Minister's

:04:50.:04:51.

cat, and Palmerston, the Foreign Secretary's cat,

:04:52.:05:00.

fighting. Experts say it is all

:05:01.:05:03.

down to territory. Larry sees Downing Street

:05:04.:05:05.

as his patch and Palmerston We are at the home of PURR-litical

:05:06.:05:08.

reporting, the home of Prime Minister Theresa May

:05:09.:05:18.

and the home of Larry the cat. And now there is another cat

:05:19.:05:21.

on the block. So, a friend to join Larry

:05:22.:05:26.

patrolling the streets of power With all this fighting,
