:00:36. > :00:38.of you getting in touch. Who should be on the front covers of your

:00:39. > :00:41.favourite magazines? Leah's been speaking to the editor of Girl Talk,

:00:42. > :00:45.one of Britain's top pre-teen mags, who says there are too many pop

:00:46. > :00:48.stars and actors on front pages. They're now going to use more

:00:49. > :00:56.positive role models, like top sportswomen and inventors. There is

:00:57. > :01:01.no problem wanting to see pop stars or looking up to them. The campaign

:01:02. > :01:07.is about making sure that girls see other people on the covers as well.

:01:08. > :01:10.We will have Jessica Ennis in the future which is a big step as we

:01:11. > :01:17.have never had a sports person before. Some people may say that

:01:18. > :01:24.someone like Jessica Ennis is really pretty. So is it much of a change?

:01:25. > :01:28.It is complicated and pushing the boundaries has to be done quite

:01:29. > :01:33.gently. There cannot be a radical change. You've been suggesting who

:01:34. > :01:36.you'd want on the front cover. Amelia wants Olympians like Jess

:01:37. > :01:40.Ennis-Hill, Victoria Pendleton or Nicola Adams. She says most magazine

:01:41. > :01:45.editors choose pop stars and they eventually get boring. Try someone

:01:46. > :01:48.different! Maisie wants Dick and Dom as they're boys and it's usually

:01:49. > :01:51.girls that are on the front cover. Joe suggests author Jaqueline Wilson

:01:52. > :01:55.because she's inspirational and could influence anyone to become a

:01:56. > :01:58.successful person like her. And Zoe's chosen Rebecca Adlington

:01:59. > :02:03.because she thinks she's an amazing and inspirational person! Thanks to

:02:04. > :02:08.all of you who got in touch - there's plenty more on the website.

:02:09. > :02:12.Next to a huge medical breakthrough that brings hope for people with

:02:13. > :02:16.spinal injuries. Four paralysed men who had been unable to move from the

:02:17. > :02:19.chest down, can now move their legs, after a new treatment in America.

:02:20. > :02:22.Special electrical pulses were used to stimulate the spinal cords

:02:23. > :02:26.meaning the men could move their legs, hips, ankles and toes, though

:02:27. > :02:29.they're not yet able to walk on their own. Researchers say the

:02:30. > :02:37.technique could help millions of people worldwide affected by back

:02:38. > :02:41.injuries. The treatment is specifically for

:02:42. > :02:45.people who have had an injury to their spinal cord which has

:02:46. > :02:51.interrupted the flow of information. So it will not help everyone but for

:02:52. > :02:54.people who have had dramatic spinal injuries, damage to their back

:02:55. > :03:00.interrupting the flow of information to and from the lakes, there is a

:03:01. > :03:04.lot of hope. -- the legs. Last up, imagine turning your tablet

:03:05. > :03:08.into some DJ decks, or being able to check what your dog is up to when

:03:09. > :03:11.you're out. Just two of the next generation of gadgets on display in

:03:12. > :03:21.Birmingham from tomorrow. Earlier today we sent Martin to check out

:03:22. > :03:32.what the future holds. From smart beds to flying robots, it's all here

:03:33. > :03:40.at the Gadget Show. This might look like a dog biscuit but what you do

:03:41. > :03:46.is attach it to the collar and link it to your tablet or smartphone. You

:03:47. > :03:50.can track the movements of your dog. And at your next birthday party you

:03:51. > :03:57.could be entertaining your friends with this. It is called a mixing

:03:58. > :04:01.desk. You can hook it up to your tablet and all your favourite songs

:04:02. > :04:09.can be loaded into this and you can make your favourite tunes. What is

:04:10. > :04:14.special about this scooter was like the normal scooter is brilliant fun

:04:15. > :04:19.but you can struggle with where you can ride it. But this will pretty

:04:20. > :04:26.much go anywhere. For the first time, smaller independent gaming

:04:27. > :04:34.companies are here showing off their ideas. It is great for us because we

:04:35. > :04:39.can afford to make the games. People download them and hopefully we get

:04:40. > :04:44.paid at the end of the month? This is very comfortable. It will adjust

:04:45. > :04:51.to your own body shape. You can adjust the firmness and the

:04:52. > :04:55.temperature. All these gadgets have tired me out. It's time to call it a

:04:56. > :04:58.day. That's all from me, Newsround's back

:04:59. > :05:02.with the last word on CBBC at 6:50pm.
