Hi, I'm Martin with Thursday

morning's top stories.

Coming up on Newsround.

I investigate the craze for rock

painting. And take a look at this.

The amazing home-made ironman suit.

First up, football and

Northern Ireland are hoping

to qualify for the World Cup.

They face Switzerland

tonight at Windsor park

in the first leg of a play-off,

with the second leg on Sunday.

The winners after two games,

will play at the tournament

next summer in Russia.

Next, to a refugee swimmer whose

story is so amazing it's now

being made in to a film.

Yusra competed as a swimmer at the

Rio Olympics last year but less than

a year before that, she was forced

to leave her home in Syria because

of the war.

When they were telling

me I was leaving to do the Olympics,

I was so surprised because only a

year before I was a refugee. I am

going in the refugee team, it was

incredible.

She took part in the

first ever team refugee but Yusra's

life hasn't always been this much

fun. It took a 25 days to travel

from Syria to Europe. Part of that

journey was in a boat and when it

began to sink, she got into the sea

along with her sister and helped

save 19 others who were on board.

It's OK, I helped the vote and so

on, but it was not just me or my

sister. But you can imagine they

told you it was 45 minutes trip but

it took three and a half hours.

She

now lives in Germany and is training

for the next Olympics at Tokyo in

2020.

My dream is to be an athlete.

If I am going to start for Germany

or for my country over the refugee

Olympic team, it would be my dream

come true and I would do the best I

can.

Now her story is being made

into a film. Let's hope she gets

some time out of the water to watch

it.

Next, to a massive rock group.

No, not that kind.

I've been to meet the kids getting

out their paintbrushes and heading

to the bottom of the garden

for a new craze.

Watch this.

Fidget spinners, JoJo Bos, making

slime at home. These are just some

of the things you guys love. But I'm

not here to talk about them. I've

come to this special rock painting

club to find out why these rocks

Rock. Yes, a new rock trend is

sweeping the nation. Let's find out

how it works and why kids up and

down the country are doing it.

So,

what you have to do is you paint

rocks and then you go out and you

hide them.

You take a picture, put

it on Facebook and show that you

found it and then you read hide it.

I'm doing it because I like people

to get out the house instead of

being lazy on their electronics.

You

can let your imagination run free

and do anything you want.

Find a

rock and start drawing on it. I

enjoyed doing it because it gets me

out of the house.

Instead of being

sat there with your frigid spinner,

you can go outside and have a hunter

with your friends. It gets you will

together. -- with your fidget

spinner.

So, we have done our

painting. Now it's time to hide

them. Are you guys ready? Let's go.

Let's go. So if you are out and

about and managed to find a painted

rock, you can choose to keep it or

hide it again for someone else to

find. So get out there and get

painting.

Next, check out this real-life

Iron Man who's been flying

high across England.

British inventor

Richard Browning set the first world

speed record for "flying

a body-controlled jet

engine power suit".

Richard flew his jet suit

across a lake in Reading.

Guinness World Records

logged his top speed at just

over 32 miles per hour.

Every time you take this equipment

out, you never really know how it's

going to work out. It's all very

new, there's no rule book, guidebook

or manual. I'm just delighted we got

some really good runs in. We took a

little bit of a swim on 14 but that

just proves we push the boundaries.

That's all for now but I'll be

back with loads more

in around half an hour.
