Newsround coming up: The British'made hovercraft, fighting

crime in Colombia. And: I'm here at the Stadium of Light, soaking up the

relief after Sunderland's great escape. This is Newsround.

It has been called a miracle, two goals from Sunderland to beat West

Brom, completing a four'week escape from Premier League relegation. I am

here in the rainy north'east of England. I have been chatting to

people to find out what it is like to support a team that is said to

have done the impossible. Seven points from safety. Seven

games left, what sort of achievement is it to stay up Miracle.

Miracle? At least. Even the manager thought it

hopeless. After a 5'1 defeat at Tottenham, Sunderland looked buried.

Certain to come bomb of the league. Staring relegation in the fifth.

Surely Premier League survival was impossible? Then, the incredible

turn around began. A draw with leaders Manchester City,

wins over the mighty Chelsea and Manchester United, could the fan

dare Torx believe in the impossible? They saw rivals Cardiff off in a 4'1

thrashing. And last night made it four wins in a row. The great escape

was complete. . Job done. The word to use for this

incredible escape, it was a miracle. Unique, special.

So how does it feel to watch your team perform a miracle? I just seen

that we had won. I started to jump and could not stop screaming. They

have been bottom of the table four week, getting back, now we are 14th.

It is something I did not expect to happen.

One thing is for certain, disbelief here has turned to relief and the

account black Cats will play in the top division next season. Take it

away, guys! ` It only gets better.

` Till I found you! Well, the Stadium is quiter today but I can

imagine the passionate roars coming from the fan fans there last night.

Now to Colombia. It is hoped that these British'made hovercrafts could

help in the fight against the country's drugs trade. It is deep in

the jungle where the vehicles here can make a big difference.

Deep in the jungle of Colombia, there is something new on the

river... They are fast... Heavily armed... And can reach places that

ordinary boats cannot get to. The British'built combat hovercraft have

been brought from Southampton to the Amazon jungle. And the Colombian

Navy is hoping it will give them the advantage to chase down drug

smugglers and insurgents. They are using the vehicles to get

to hard to reach places. This is part of a training exercise.

It is hoped it will give them the edge in their fight against drug

traffickers. Each hovercraft can carry 14 Marines

and crew it turns out that they are fun to dry.

The speed is 35 knots. Carrying six crew members and eight combat

troops. It lifts above the surface. You can go at incredible speed over

grass, sandbanks and shallow water. Does the driver have a nickname for

the craft? For me it is my girl it is called Carolina.

OK time for a serious dose of cuteness.

The two red panda cubs said hello to the world today.

They were born at a zoo in Australia five months ago. Since then they

have been hidden with their mum. But now they are out and about having

fun. Red pandas are native to parts of Asia and Southern China. Two

breeding barn owls in the south'east of England have become global

superstars. Check out the baby sticking its head out. They are on a

live webcam getting thousands of views from all over the world. Here

is what they got up to earlier. The pair had seven eggs and six little

owl eddies have been hatched. That is great. That is all from the New

Zealand round team. We are back here on CBBC at 7.00pm. Goodbye.
