The late-night phone checking that is affecting our sleep.

Coming up: And affecting our sleep. the UK's

biggest flower blooms but it has a smelly

First up, I bet later tonight some of you will check your phones or use

your tablet to catch up on your favourite show under

the covers before you go to bed. Well, doctors are warning

that's not good for us and is stopping us getting to sleep.

James Gallagher sent us this special report.

Whether it is playing on games, chatting to mates or checking the

newsround website, smart phones are lighting up our bedrooms. But now

scientists are worried this might be giving us at late. I usually come

upstairs at 10 p.m. And stay on my phone. 1 night it must have been

for a week, but then she used to get up during the night and get it

from downstairs. Next - the biggest flower in the UK

has bloomed for only the second time ever, but you won't want to get too

close to have a sniff. The Titan arum is nicknamed the

corpse flower because of its stinky smell of rotting flesh and vomit.

It is nearly three metres tall and is expected to live

for up to ten years. Next, to the championship that's

in a glass of its own. Every year more than 20 contestants

take part in the Glass-Blowing Championships over in Finland.

They have to try and create the biggest sphere, cylinder or

plate in under six minutes. This man from Hungary blew away

the competition with his breathtaking skills.

That's all from me. Don't
