A low, friends, you have made the right choice, sticking with us live

:00:18.:00:23.

on BBC One. This is new round with Ore and Hayley. Everything you need

:00:23.:00:28.

to know, coming up. We take a look very closely at these rare spiders

:00:28.:00:34.

on the loose in south-west England. And we're talking UFOs. Still a

:00:34.:00:39.

mystery or the real deal? But first - the riots seem to have finally

:00:39.:00:43.

calmed down for now. It was much quieter across England last night.

:00:43.:00:46.

The heavy rain and tens of thousands of extra police on the

:00:46.:00:49.

streets put a stop to four nights of vandalism, violence and looting.

:00:49.:00:54.

Courts stayed open all night though, dealing with everyone arrested. And

:00:54.:00:57.

the Prime Minister David Cameron has been holding a special

:00:57.:01:07.
:01:07.:01:07.

emergency debate on what's been happening. These were the streets

:01:07.:01:11.

last night, much calmer. Police had far fewer incidents to

:01:11.:01:16.

deal with and people stayed at home. In Birmingham, a special service

:01:16.:01:19.

was held to remember three young men who died in the violence. But

:01:20.:01:22.

while the streets were calm, the courts in Birmingham, Manchester

:01:22.:01:26.

and London were seriously busy. Many stayed open all night last

:01:26.:01:30.

night, and all day today. They're dealing with all those caught by

:01:31.:01:37.

the police during the last few days. So far, more than a thousand people

:01:37.:01:40.

have been arrested, mostly teenage or older, but some who are kids.

:01:40.:01:43.

One eleven year old boy has appeared in court charged with

:01:43.:01:46.

stealing a bin from a shop, and an eleven year old girl in Nottingham

:01:46.:01:50.

has pleaded guilty to criminal damage. She's been given a referral

:01:50.:01:53.

order which means appearing before a panel of people and agreeing to

:01:53.:01:58.

make amends for what she's done. Officers are now concentrating on

:01:58.:02:02.

catching suspects. They've released lots of CCTV pictures of people

:02:02.:02:05.

caught in the act, in the hope that people will recognise them and give

:02:05.:02:09.

their names to the police. But everyone's now hoping that the

:02:09.:02:13.

worst of the violence is over, and communities will once again be safe.

:02:13.:02:15.

MPs have been called back from their holidays for an emergency

:02:15.:02:22.

debate to discuss what's been going on. Prime Minister David Cameron

:02:22.:02:24.

said police got their riot tactics wrong, and there just weren't

:02:24.:02:29.

enough officers on the streets. Earlier, I went to the Houses of

:02:29.:02:39.
:02:39.:02:40.

Parliament to find out exactly what MPs have been talking about.

:02:40.:02:44.

Right now, members of parliament discussing these riots. Have they

:02:44.:02:47.

got any answers? The politicians are spending hours coming up with

:02:47.:02:51.

answers. There are so many different theories. The main one is

:02:51.:02:54.

that right at the start, there were not enough police officers. Some

:02:55.:02:59.

people are suggesting that maybe there is a problem with society,

:02:59.:03:02.

maybe mothers and fathers not staying together has had an impact

:03:02.:03:07.

on kids growing up. Have they any ideas of what to do next? David

:03:07.:03:10.

Cameron announced some things they are changing. The police will have

:03:10.:03:16.

more powers to get people to remove face masks. There are also

:03:16.:03:19.

discussions of shutting down things like Facebook and Twitter if people

:03:19.:03:28.

are spreading trouble. The riots have had a effect on the sporting

:03:28.:03:34.

games this week. The Premier League Match between Tottenham and Everton

:03:34.:03:37.

on Saturday at White Hart Lane has been postponed. Some kick-off times

:03:37.:03:39.

could be made earlier too, to help police.

:03:39.:03:42.

Now all week The Newsround team have been looking into the rioting

:03:42.:03:45.

and what's behind it. And you can see our programme - 'Behind the

:03:45.:03:48.

Riots', a Newsround Special, tomorrow at 5 on BBC1 and on CBBC

:03:48.:03:50.

at 6.25pm. Back to footy for a sec, there's

:03:50.:03:53.

bad news for Arsenal fans. It looks like both Cesc Fabregas and Samir

:03:53.:03:58.

Nasri are about to confirm their moves from the club. Nasri's on his

:03:58.:04:01.

way to Manchester City and Fabregas, well, we always kinda knew he'd be

:04:01.:04:06.

heading for Barcelona. Arsenal say they'll use the money to buy fresh

:04:06.:04:09.

new players. And if you want to compete with the big boys, you need

:04:09.:04:13.

them! Now, there's a very important

:04:13.:04:18.

cricket match going on right now. If England win the Third Test at

:04:18.:04:22.

Edgbaston, they'll become the top team in the world.

:04:22.:04:24.

After destroying India's batsmen yesterday, England are racking up

:04:24.:04:33.

the runs thanks to wonderboys Strauss and Cook. Right now,

:04:33.:04:39.

England are on 359 for two wickets. Looking good.

:04:39.:04:46.

Next up, Spiders, do you love them or hate them? Hate them, of course,

:04:46.:04:50.

who would love them? Well bad news for you, but good news for me and

:04:50.:04:53.

anyone else who loves the little darlings, loads of them are being

:04:53.:04:55.

released into the wild today. Ladybird spiders, which are

:04:55.:04:58.

Britain's rarest breed have been facing extinction for many years.

:04:58.:05:01.

But after breeding them in captivity, 30 of them are ready to

:05:01.:05:04.

be released into the wild in Dorset. They're being moved in empty water

:05:04.:05:07.

bottles which can then be dug into the ground to make artificial

:05:07.:05:14.

burrows. Next up, we're talking about aliens

:05:14.:05:18.

from outer space. Ever seen one? Well, over the years thousands of

:05:18.:05:21.

people claim they've seen UFOs floating around in our skies

:05:21.:05:26.

Government files have just been released including 34 sightings.

:05:27.:05:32.

But they also show that they were never properly investigated.

:05:32.:05:34.

Welcome to this top secret government department. OK, it's

:05:34.:05:38.

just a room in the Newsround office - but for now, lets pretend it's a

:05:38.:05:45.

top secret government department. Here are some of the pictures sent

:05:45.:05:48.

into to the Ministry of Defence proving once and for all that alien

:05:48.:05:55.

life does, definitely, 100% exist. Take this photo of a UFO over the

:05:55.:05:59.

skies of Wiltshire, clearly showing an alien object. Absolutely not a

:05:59.:06:07.

smudge on the lens. And this one, a sketch of an alien space ship seen

:06:07.:06:11.

in Blackburn. Come on, you can't always have your camera when you

:06:11.:06:14.

see an alien lifeform! Over the years there've been thousands of

:06:14.:06:17.

UFO sightings including this one back in 1967 which turned out to be

:06:17.:06:26.

a fake. But some are harder to explain. This is a photo the

:06:26.:06:28.

government was sent of Retford town hall in Nottinghamshire, but look

:06:28.:06:34.

closely and in the background is a mysterious object.

:06:34.:06:37.

One government file tells the mysterious story of woman who said

:06:37.:06:41.

she'd seen a UFO. Police came to the scene with two strange men in

:06:41.:06:47.

spacesuits and dark glasses. But later, when she called the police

:06:47.:06:57.

station- they said they'd just sent two ordinary policemen. By the way,

:06:57.:07:00.

that isn't an actual photo - I'm just pretty handy with a computer.

:07:00.:07:03.

The government says they've never had the time, money or people to

:07:03.:07:05.

investigate these claims properly. And now the department that deals

:07:05.:07:09.

with them has been shut down. So it looks like they'll all remain a

:07:09.:07:14.

mystery. Now forget UFOs, what I really

:07:14.:07:23.

really want to see is Olympic diver Tom Daley.

:07:23.:07:28.

Well, now you can because he's been turned into a sculpture.

:07:28.:07:31.

Our very own Tom Daley, usually seen flying through the air of a

:07:31.:07:35.

swimming pool is now flying through Heathrow Airport. This life-size

:07:35.:07:38.

sculpture shows Tom in full diving flow greeting passengers as they

:07:38.:07:40.

arrive in London. And last up, to somewhere I reckon

:07:40.:07:44.

Tom Daley would probably like to go on his holidays. This is said to be

:07:44.:07:47.

the biggest waterpark in the world! It opened this summer in China's

:07:47.:07:50.

capital, Beijing. It's got 50 slides and 30,000 people can enjoy

:07:50.:07:53.

the fun at any one time. Cancel my holiday in Torquay! I'm heading to

:07:53.:07:56.
