:00:00. > :00:10.Ricky here with Tuesday's top stories coming up on Newsround.

:00:11. > :00:14.The invention that could make your doing smarter and, the breath-taking

:00:15. > :00:22.skills you need to win in this Championship.

:00:23. > :00:27.First, Antarctica is the earth's coldest spot and a hugely important

:00:28. > :00:32.place. What happens there can affect the rest of the world. There are

:00:33. > :00:35.some big changes going on there. Scientists say six giant glassiers

:00:36. > :00:40.are melting and they don't think they can be stopped. I've found out

:00:41. > :00:43.why they are worried. Antarctica, the coldest place on

:00:44. > :00:47.earth and land of frozen beauty. Behind this incredible landscape, a

:00:48. > :00:53.huge change is occurring. These masses of ice in western Antarctica

:00:54. > :00:59.are melting. One glassier here can be nearly as big as the UK. Over the

:01:00. > :01:03.last 40 year, NASA scientists have used satellites, aeroplane, ships

:01:04. > :01:07.and ground surveys to study the area and say that six glassiers here are

:01:08. > :01:12.melting away and that nothing can be done to stop it.

:01:13. > :01:17.It's due to climate change caused by people.

:01:18. > :01:20.Scientists say we have burnt a lot of old, coal and gas and this has

:01:21. > :01:25.been putting particularly carbon dioxide into the atmosphere. That's

:01:26. > :01:29.warmed it and it's changed the way the atmosphere behaves. It's

:01:30. > :01:33.starting to blow faster. The winds are getting stronger, particularly

:01:34. > :01:37.around Antarctica. That is pushing warm water towards the continent.

:01:38. > :01:43.It's eroding, it's melting the fronts of the glaciers. Scientists

:01:44. > :01:46.say the radar shows there are no ridges to top them from retreating

:01:47. > :01:50.further inland. Because they are melting, more water is flowing into

:01:51. > :01:54.the ocean which is having an impact on global sea-levels. A danger to

:01:55. > :02:00.animals and people living on low-lying land near the coast.

:02:01. > :02:04.Some of the gl laciers is huge. If you were to stand on top of them,

:02:05. > :02:09.there would be ice as far as the eye could see. If they melt, all the

:02:10. > :02:12.that water will go into the ocean and raise sea-levels which is a

:02:13. > :02:15.problem for cities on coastlines because they will have to cope with

:02:16. > :02:19.that and make changes to the way they build their cities in the

:02:20. > :02:23.future. The scientists behind the research say the situation is a

:02:24. > :02:28.major concern, but they say it could take hundreds of years for the

:02:29. > :02:31.effects to be felt. We are talking about your doings

:02:32. > :02:34.next and how smart they are. You have been telling us on the website

:02:35. > :02:37.how clever your pets are and the tricks they can do. Thanks to a

:02:38. > :02:40.group of students in America, your doings could soon be getting even

:02:41. > :02:46.smarter thanks to a brand-new invention. We sent Martin off to

:02:47. > :02:50.sniff this one out! What is the clevers thing you have taught your

:02:51. > :02:54.doing to do? Beth in Solihull says her doing can roll over and catch a

:02:55. > :02:59.ball in the air and Katie from Cape Town in South Africa told us that

:03:00. > :03:03.her doing can open doors. Two students in America think they

:03:04. > :03:08.may have found a way to make doings even smarter.

:03:09. > :03:11.They have invented this digital feeder which rewards doings with

:03:12. > :03:17.treats if they tap censors in the correct order. The instructions are

:03:18. > :03:22.easy. Touch any pad and then it gets reward. It learns over time that if

:03:23. > :03:27.it touches a pad it will get a reward. Once they have got that bit,

:03:28. > :03:33.you make it a bit tougher and make them touch a specific pad and maybe

:03:34. > :03:43.pads in order or we give them a cue, and it's your voice saying, "press

:03:44. > :03:48.the left one". Doings are able to remember different instructions and

:03:49. > :03:54.can work out challenges before the rewards are even given. Sit. How do

:03:55. > :03:58.you do. The inventors say it's not stressful for dogs and only becomes

:03:59. > :04:02.more challenges the more t used. So maybe you could try teaching your

:04:03. > :04:08.doing new tricks. You never know, it could be smarter than you think.

:04:09. > :04:10.Sport and Tottenham have sacked manager Tim Sherwood after the club

:04:11. > :04:16.finished sixth in the Premier League. He only took the job in

:04:17. > :04:19.December and signed what deal to the end of next season. Next to the

:04:20. > :04:23.Championship that's in a glass of its own. Every year, more than 20

:04:24. > :04:27.people take part in the glass-blowing Championships in

:04:28. > :04:31.Finland. They have to try and create the biggest cylinder or plate in

:04:32. > :04:36.under six minutes. Yosef from Hungary blew away the competition

:04:37. > :04:40.with this breath-taking skill. Finally, get online and tell us if

:04:41. > :04:44.your smartphones and tablets keep you up at night. According to

:04:45. > :04:50.scientists, certain gadgets release a blue light which can confuse the

:04:51. > :04:56.brain and make us stay up lighter, which may have an impact on our

:04:57. > :05:00.sleep patterns due to the body clocks. Join me later. Bye.
