Hi, guys. Martin here with news of which Voice judge is leaving the | :00:00. | :00:07. | |
show on the way. Plus, I find out why flies and | :00:08. | :00:11. | |
fighter jets have more in common than you might think. | :00:12. | :00:12. | |
This is Newsround. But first, to the question of | :00:13. | :00:19. | |
whether Team GB's golden era of cycling success will carry on into | :00:20. | :00:23. | |
the next Olympics. That's because the man behind Britain's rise to | :00:24. | :00:26. | |
world domination has stepped down today. Ayshah's been looking into | :00:27. | :00:31. | |
why it's a big deal. Chris Hoy, Laura Trott, Victoria | :00:32. | :00:35. | |
Pendleton, Jason Kenny. All gold medal winners at London 2012 and | :00:36. | :00:38. | |
some of Britain's biggest cycling stars. But the man who helped them | :00:39. | :00:43. | |
become a success has today announced that he's stepping down. It's from | :00:44. | :00:47. | |
here at Manchester Velodrome that Sir Dave Brailsford masterminded the | :00:48. | :00:50. | |
route to Olympic glory and made Team GB one of the best sporting teams in | :00:51. | :00:57. | |
the world. Since he started his job as Performance Director in 2004, | :00:58. | :01:00. | |
he's been knighted and has won the BBC Sports Personality of the Year | :01:01. | :01:04. | |
Coach Award twice. But it's his Olympic achievements that are most | :01:05. | :01:10. | |
impressive. Team GB won a total of 43 cycling medals in just over 100 | :01:11. | :01:15. | |
years, before he took over. But in the three Olympics he's overseen, | :01:16. | :01:18. | |
they've won 30 medals, including 18 golds. So how did he do it? What Sir | :01:19. | :01:28. | |
Dave Brailsford did is, he used to look at all the little things that | :01:29. | :01:31. | |
went into a rider's preparation for competition, likely pillows they | :01:32. | :01:36. | |
sleep one night to have around the wheels are on their bicycle, to even | :01:37. | :01:40. | |
things like how long they would wash their hands. All those little things | :01:41. | :01:45. | |
together ensure that the riders in competition were at peak | :01:46. | :01:49. | |
performance. How much Will British cycling missing? I think they will | :01:50. | :01:54. | |
miss him a lot will stop he has enjoyed a lot of success in the last | :01:55. | :01:59. | |
few years, but he has left a system in place to ensure this can carry | :02:00. | :02:01. | |
on. Sir Dave will continue working with Team Sky's road racers, who | :02:02. | :02:05. | |
he's helped to win the Tour de France for the last two years. It | :02:06. | :02:09. | |
won't be until the next Olympics in 2016 that we'll find out how Team GB | :02:10. | :02:13. | |
get on without the man with the golden touch. | :02:14. | :02:15. | |
To America next, and a big debate about keeping killer whales in | :02:16. | :02:17. | |
captivity. These schoolgirls delivered 1.2 million signatures | :02:18. | :02:20. | |
supporting a campaign to get SeaWorld in San Diego to stop using | :02:21. | :02:23. | |
orcas like this in entertainment shows. Backers of the campaign say | :02:24. | :02:27. | |
it's cruel, but the people who work with the orcas at SeaWorld say it | :02:28. | :02:30. | |
helps with research they couldn't do in the wild. A decision on the ban's | :02:31. | :02:36. | |
been delayed until next year while law makers look at both sides of the | :02:37. | :02:40. | |
argument. Onto music, and it's bad news for | :02:41. | :02:44. | |
all you Voice fans out there. Watch out for the flashes. Kylie Minogue's | :02:45. | :02:47. | |
announced today that she's quitting the show after just one series. She | :02:48. | :02:51. | |
says she can't commit to another one because she's going on tour. There's | :02:52. | :02:56. | |
no news yet on who'll replace her. And in football, the Champions | :02:57. | :02:59. | |
League semifinal draw was made today, and here's how it looks. | :03:00. | :03:03. | |
Chelsea will take on Spanish side Atletico Madrid, who beat them 4-1 | :03:04. | :03:06. | |
the last time they met. Defending champions Bayern Munich go up | :03:07. | :03:09. | |
against Real Madrid in the other game. The final's in Portugal at the | :03:10. | :03:11. | |
end of May. against Real Madrid in the other | :03:12. | :03:15. | |
game. The final's in Portugal at the A quick question for you next - what | :03:16. | :03:20. | |
do a fruit fly and a fighter jet have in common? Well, actually a lot | :03:21. | :03:23. | |
more than you probably think. We've all been there. You're trying | :03:24. | :03:27. | |
to have some food in the kitchen, when you hear the buzz of a fly. | :03:28. | :03:32. | |
But, however hard you try, you just can't quite swat it! Now, scientists | :03:33. | :03:39. | |
in America think they know why. They've been studying how they fly | :03:40. | :03:43. | |
using special high-speed cameras. This clip, slowed down 300 times, | :03:44. | :03:47. | |
shows the flight of a fly after it was shown a picture of a potential | :03:48. | :03:48. | |
predator. was shown a picture of a potential | :03:49. | :03:53. | |
The team found that flies work just like fighter jets to avoid an | :03:54. | :03:57. | |
oncoming threat. They can make a banked turn to change direction | :03:58. | :04:01. | |
within a split second. And the scientists are amazed at how fast a | :04:02. | :04:04. | |
fly's brain can work, even though it's the size of a grain of salt! We | :04:05. | :04:14. | |
could already see it beginning to change direction within about a | :04:15. | :04:18. | |
single wing beat, which is only one 5000th of a second. Researchers also | :04:19. | :04:21. | |
used a special robot called Robo-fly, which flaps in a giant oil | :04:22. | :04:25. | |
tank to study how wings move through the air. It's being seen as an | :04:26. | :04:28. | |
exciting insight into the life of flies. | :04:29. | :04:31. | |
But they still can't tell me how to get anywhere nearer to catching one | :04:32. | :04:33. | |
of them. And some cheeky chimp news to | :04:34. | :04:40. | |
finish. Kansas City Zoo in America had to be closed after several | :04:41. | :04:44. | |
chimps escaped their enclosures and went on the loose. Security cameras | :04:45. | :04:47. | |
picked up this one scaling the zoo walls. Visitors were told to stay | :04:48. | :04:50. | |
inside while zoo staff tracked them down. | :04:51. | :04:53. | |
