Hi, I'm Hayley with your Newsround update.	:00:09.	:00:09.
The Commonwealth Games baton goes abseiling.	:00:10.	:00:12.
The man who's invented a nifty new way of getting around.	:00:13.	:00:19.
And Collabro win Britain's Got Talent with this big musical number.	:00:20.	:00:30.
First to football, and England's match with Honduras last night took	:00:31.	:00:33.
a dramatic turn when a dangerous lightning storm stopped play.	:00:34.	:00:36.
The team was forced off the pitch for 40 minutes during the match in	:00:37.	:00:40.
The game was England's final warm-up before heading to Brazil	:00:41.	:00:45.
So what can the team expect when they arrive in Brazil ahead	:00:46.	:00:50.
Well, their training ground is in the shadow of one	:00:51.	:00:54.
of the most iconic landmarks in the country, Sugarloaf Mountain.	:00:55.	:00:56.
The BBC's Wyre Davies is in Rio and has sent this report.	:00:57.	:01:03.
One thing the England team will have few complaints	:01:04.	:01:05.
about are the facilities, their training facilities here in Rio.	:01:06.	:01:09.
There is exclusivity, privacy and quality as well.	:01:10.	:01:12.
This is a military base almost in the heart of the city centre,	:01:13.	:01:16.
It is in the shadow of the wonderful Sugarloaf Mountain.	:01:17.	:01:24.
Indeed, the top of Sugarloaf is about the only place	:01:25.	:01:27.
The reason the FA has chosen this is because of its privacy.	:01:28.	:01:33.
England teams in the past have always liked to be away	:01:34.	:01:36.
from the prying eyes of the press and the public, and this military	:01:37.	:01:40.
The FA has also been instrumental in choosing the surface,	:01:41.	:01:45.
They have paid for the refurbishment of the training facilities.	:01:46.	:01:52.
The only downside is that it is about an hour from their hotel down	:01:53.	:01:55.
in Rio's South zone, but to all intents and purposes, the facilities	:01:56.	:01:59.
here at Urca Wive England the privacy and exclusivity they want,	:02:00.	:02:04.
if, of course, they will still be here for the last	:02:05.	:02:07.
Meanwhile, FIFA are facing increased pressure over the 2022 World Cup	:02:08.	:02:15.
as one of its main sponsors, Sony, demands a full investigation	:02:16.	:02:18.
Sony has asked football's world governing body to look into how	:02:19.	:02:24.
There have been new claims that the process was not fair, but the World	:02:25.	:02:30.
Cup Commitee in Qatar say that it was not involved in any wrongdoing.	:02:31.	:02:36.
Next, it's travelled by tractor, steam train and even underwater.	:02:37.	:02:42.
But today the Commonwealth Games baton took a trip down the Orbit	:02:43.	:02:45.
Olympic rowing legend Sir Matthew Pinsent carried	:02:46.	:02:51.
the baton as he abseiled down from the top of the Orbit,	:02:52.	:02:54.
It was built specially for the 2012 Olympics and is Britain's	:02:55.	:03:02.
Sir Matthew Pinsent, who has four Olympic gold medals, said he was	:03:03.	:03:06.
It was a bit twitchy at the top, when they are saying, just lean back	:03:07.	:03:18.
and there is the whole of London behind you and a pretty precipitous	:03:19.	:03:21.
drop! But once the rope started going through, you thought, this is	:03:22.	:03:27.
all working. It was lovely and enjoyable. When you are the person	:03:28.	:03:33.
who is actually holding it and given responsibility for it, you do not	:03:34.	:03:37.
want to drop it, especially from 140 metres. But it is a privilege in the	:03:38.	:03:39.
run-up to Glasgow. The winners of Britain's Got Talent	:03:40.	:03:42.
are Collabro! The operatic boy band were crowned	:03:43.	:03:46.
last night after they sang Stars The five-piece musical theatre act -	:03:47.	:03:49.
including Richard, Matt, Michael, Thomas and Jamie - only formed	:03:50.	:03:54.
a month before their first audition for the show, but performed	:03:55.	:03:59.
a powerful musical song from the musical Les Misrables and were quite	:04:00.	:04:02.
teary after hearing the results. You are the winners! How do you	:04:03.	:04:19.
feel? I will pick somebody else. We want to thank everybody who voted.	:04:20.	:04:22.
You are amazing. Judges, thank you so much.	:04:23.	:04:27.
The 25-year-old was praised by the judges for her brave choice of song.	:04:28.	:04:33.
She sang Nessun Dorma, which is typically performed by male singers.	:04:34.	:04:37.
Lucy, runner up. How do you feel? Amazing. It has been... I am	:04:38.	:04:44.
speechless... But coming	:04:45.	:04:46.
in a respectable third place was It has been such an honour to even	:04:47.	:04:56.
get this far. It is amazing. Thanks to all the judges and everything you	:04:57.	:04:59.
have done for us. It has changed our lives.	:05:00.	:05:03.
13-year-old Leondre and 15-year-old Charlie wrote their	:05:04.	:05:06.
own song all about anti-bullying and it was so popular that it gained	:05:07.	:05:09.
more than 30 million views on YouTube after their first audition.	:05:10.	:05:12.
All three acts did brilliantly to come top of the 11 total finalists,	:05:13.	:05:15.
which included pop violinist Lettice Rowbotham and incredible	:05:16.	:05:18.
Now all that's left to do is for Collabro to sing for the Queen	:05:19.	:05:24.
at the Royal Variety performance, and of course spend their winnings.	:05:25.	:05:29.
Now, ever packed for your holiday then realised your	:05:30.	:05:32.
Well, now your suitcase can carry you.	:05:33.	:05:37.
It's a sit-on suitcase invented by a farmer in China after he forgot his	:05:38.	:05:41.
He spent ten years developing the motorised luggage	:05:42.	:05:45.
He hopes it could change the way people travel in the future.	:05:46.	:05:51.
That's all from me, Newsround's back later this	:05:52.	:05:56.
