You're watching Newsround live this Thursday with me Ayshah.

:00:00.:00:00.

There's big dino news from over 200 million years ago.

:00:07.:00:14.

The Kidz Bop Kids show us some moves.

:00:15.:00:18.

And we say happy 200th birthday to roller coasters.

:00:19.:00:30.

First up to an amazing new discovery which shows the link

:00:31.:00:33.

Researchers have discovered the fossil of a creature

:00:34.:00:38.

It's helping them find out exactly how crocodiles

:00:39.:00:43.

There aren't many animals older than a dinosaur, right?

:00:44.:00:49.

Crocodile-like creatures were around way before that,

:00:50.:00:57.

Now researchers think they've found out

:00:58.:01:04.

how the crocodiles first evolved into dinosaurs - by studying

:01:05.:01:07.

a fossil of a creature called a teleocrator.

:01:08.:01:10.

In many ways this animal is a missing link between dinosaurs and

:01:11.:01:13.

crocodiles and shows how some of the features that previously just

:01:14.:01:17.

appeared in dinosaurs actually first evolved.

:01:18.:01:21.

For example, dinosaurs start off as 2-legged animals,

:01:22.:01:24.

whereas most of their ancestors seem to be 4-legged.

:01:25.:01:30.

This animal shows how the transition between a four-legged

:01:31.:01:32.

crocodile-like animal and the 2-legged dinosaur happened.

:01:33.:01:36.

Studying the teleocrator bones also showed researchers that some

:01:37.:01:39.

dinosaur features evolved much earlier than they'd first thought.

:01:40.:01:42.

When this wall fell down at a primary school

:01:43.:01:49.

have been found to have construction problems.

:01:50.:01:55.

Most of the buildings have now been repaired,

:01:56.:02:08.

but some people are calling for the councils in charge to do

:02:09.:02:11.

more to make sure that new schools are built properly.

:02:12.:02:13.

To football, and Leicester City still have a chance

:02:14.:02:16.

to get to the next stage of the Champions League

:02:17.:02:18.

despite a 1-0 defeat in Spain to Atletico Madrid.

:02:19.:02:20.

The only goal came after a controversial penalty.

:02:21.:02:22.

Marc Albrighton's foul looked to be outside the box.

:02:23.:02:25.

They'll have to overturn that goal in next

:02:26.:02:26.

A steam train has been driven at 100 miles an hour

:02:27.:02:33.

on Britain's rail network for the first time since steam power

:02:34.:02:36.

was abandoned by British Rail, nearly 50 years ago.

:02:37.:02:40.

The locomotive, Tornado, reached the speed as part of an experiment

:02:41.:02:43.

to see if steam trains can safely run faster than the current limit

:02:44.:02:46.

Now what does it take to become a member of an all-singing,

:02:47.:02:51.

Well, we weren't sure so we sent our reporter Whitney

:02:52.:02:57.

to meet the new kidz on the block, Kidz Bop, to find out.

:02:58.:03:00.

You've probably heard of Justin Bieber, Kanye West,

:03:01.:03:02.

They are a huge US band and now a UK version has launched.

:03:03.:03:14.

I thought, why not come down and meet them?

:03:15.:03:17.

Turning the camera around, Ashton, Lois, Max and

:03:18.:03:20.

I'm so excited to meet you, how did you get into it?

:03:21.:03:26.

Kidz Bop had a nationwide casting call and the four of us went

:03:27.:03:29.

to London to meet the production team and we were lucky

:03:30.:03:32.

Amazing, I've seen some of your videos on YouTube.

:03:33.:03:39.

How do you feel about the attention you have received?

:03:40.:03:42.

It's nice to see young fans supporting us.

:03:43.:03:46.

And hoping they can do the same thing, and of course they can.

:03:47.:03:51.

If fans want to get in, what would you say?

:03:52.:03:53.

Keep working hard towards it. Amazing.

:03:54.:04:00.

Believe it or not, I'm only a few years older than you all.

:04:01.:04:04.

Do you think I have what it takes to be a part of the UK Kidz Bop?

:04:05.:04:08.

I think we will teach you some moves from Shout Out To My Ex.

:04:09.:04:26.

You will punch four times with your right hand into the air.

:04:27.:04:32.

On the fifth one, your right leg goes out a bit and then crosses

:04:33.:04:36.

# Shout out to my ex, you're really quite the mess.

:04:37.:04:48.

Don't think I have what it takes just yet!

:04:49.:05:03.

If you've just eaten your breakfast - then I'd look away now.

:05:04.:05:06.

Because today marks 200 years since the first

:05:07.:05:08.

It opened in Paris in France in 1817 - and wasn't much more

:05:09.:05:12.

than a rickety wooden cart on a track.

:05:13.:05:14.

We all know that a cuddle with a furry pet can help

:05:15.:05:18.

He's a robotic seal who was created to help older people living

:05:19.:05:23.

He looks and feels like the real thing, and is covered in sensors

:05:24.:05:28.

that means he can respond, when he's touched or spoken to.

:05:29.:05:33.

Police officers were given the run around in London yesterday

:05:34.:05:35.

A pig caused chaos when it escaped and trotted through lunch-time

:05:36.:05:39.

A jogger had to dodge the animal, who seemed to take a liking

:05:40.:05:46.

A police spokesman said the pig was eventually recaptured

:05:47.:05:49.

That's all from Newsround HQ this morning.

:05:50.:05:53.

Ricky is here at 4:20 this afternoon.

:05:54.:05:56.
