Hello everyone. Leah here with Newsround this morning. Coming up: | :00:00. | :00:10. | |
Amazing pictures taken by a ten-year-old photographer from Iraq. | :00:11. | :00:19. | |
Hello, Ricky from Newsround. Stay tuned to find out how this robot | :00:20. | :00:24. | |
will help children communicate better. | :00:25. | :00:28. | |
But first, it's already been a big morning for Team GB at the | :00:29. | :00:32. | |
Paralympics in Sochi. Jade Etherington has got herself on | :00:33. | :00:35. | |
course for her third medal of the winter games. She came first in her | :00:36. | :00:41. | |
opening run of the Slalom. She already has a silver and bronze | :00:42. | :00:51. | |
medal to he her name. 15-year-old Millie, who is due back at school | :00:52. | :00:54. | |
next week, completed the course with ease, she's in sixth place. But | :00:55. | :00:57. | |
British Super-G champion Kelly Gallagher fell during her run again | :00:58. | :01:00. | |
today. Also today marks 25 years since the | :01:01. | :01:04. | |
World Wide Web was invented, the network of pages you visit when you | :01:05. | :01:08. | |
use the internet. It's creator, Sir Tim Berners-Lee has called for a new | :01:09. | :01:12. | |
set of rules to protect the rights of its users. He says people who use | :01:13. | :01:17. | |
the web should be able to do so without feeling that some ones | :01:18. | :01:20. | |
monitoring their every move. Autism is a condition that affects | :01:21. | :01:24. | |
around 500,000 people in the UK. People with autism can have problems | :01:25. | :01:27. | |
relating to others and making sense of the world around them. But now | :01:28. | :01:32. | |
British scientists have come up with a high tech approach to help, by | :01:33. | :01:42. | |
using robots. Here's Ricky. Meet Casper. He might look a bit | :01:43. | :01:47. | |
unusual but this robot is helping young children living with autism. | :01:48. | :01:53. | |
For kids with autism, sometimes even the simplest thing like knowing when | :01:54. | :01:58. | |
someone is happy or sad can be a big challenge. The condition can also | :01:59. | :02:04. | |
make it difficult for them to talk and play with other people. But here | :02:05. | :02:09. | |
at this special school, they have a new robotic teacher helping the kids | :02:10. | :02:14. | |
to learn. Four-year-old Byron gets to play with Casper every week. | :02:15. | :02:21. | |
Shall we say hello? Hello, Biron, I am Casper, let's play together. The | :02:22. | :02:30. | |
good thing about Casper is it does not matter what you say, he always | :02:31. | :02:37. | |
has exactly the same expression and sound every single time. Can you | :02:38. | :02:43. | |
make Casper have a happy face? The teachers say they have noticed an | :02:44. | :02:49. | |
improvement in the way some of the children communicate. And now | :02:50. | :02:54. | |
researchers are working hard to further develop Casper. Engineers in | :02:55. | :02:59. | |
Hertfordshire are using the latest technology to bring these robots to | :03:00. | :03:04. | |
life. They are even using a 3-D printer to create these plastic body | :03:05. | :03:09. | |
parts. Later this year 20 new robots will big event to parents and | :03:10. | :03:15. | |
schools in the UK. Casper will help other children make friends and | :03:16. | :03:18. | |
understand the world around them a bit better. | :03:19. | :03:21. | |
And you've been sending us in your robot designs. Christopher in | :03:22. | :03:25. | |
Woodford Green sent us a picture of his robot called X-Po Boom. He can | :03:26. | :03:30. | |
cook and play ball. Grace in Essex has invented Terry the tidy robot, | :03:31. | :03:34. | |
who gets a good grip on jobs that need to be done around the house. | :03:35. | :03:38. | |
And check out Robot Rex by Florrie and Heidi. Their robot can look | :03:39. | :03:42. | |
after your pet dog when you're out and can even feed and groom it. | :03:43. | :03:47. | |

Arsenal have been knocked out of the Champions League. They drew 1-1 in | :03:56. | :03:58. | |
Germany. Lukas Podolski scoring Arsenal's leveller. It meant they | :03:59. | :04:03. | |
lost the last 16 tie 3-1 overall. The Gunners now only have two more | :04:04. | :04:07. | |
chances for a trophy this season. They're in the FA Cup semifinal and | :04:08. | :04:10. | |
seven points behind Premier League leaders Chelsea. | :04:11. | :04:13. | |
Next to Glasgow where preparations are well underway ahead of the 2014 | :04:14. | :04:17. | |
Commonwealth Games. One of the venues having a make-over is Hampden | :04:18. | :04:21. | |
Park, Scotland's national stadium. A brand new athletics surface has been | :04:22. | :04:24. | |
installed and BBC Breakfast's Katherine Downes is one of the first | :04:25. | :04:28. | |
people to see inside! You might think the pictures behind | :04:29. | :04:32. | |
me were taken by an adult, but they actually belong to a 10-year-old boy | :04:33. | :04:35. | |
from Iraq, whose just been described as the country's youngest | :04:36. | :04:38. | |
professional photographer. Qamar Hashim, who has won awards for his | :04:39. | :04:41. | |
professional style, tours the streets of Baghdad to capture people | :04:42. | :04:45. | |
and scenic spots. Hashim said photography is his favourite hobby. | :04:46. | :04:55. | |
At the beginning I went out with my father to photograph art | :04:56. | :04:58. | |
exhibitions. Sometimes he would let me take care of the camera. He was | :04:59. | :05:01. | |
surprised with the pictures I | :05:02. | :05:02. |
