Thursday afternoon show packed with some of this. What do the UK's eight

million moggies get up to at night? It sends your heart rate up, gives

:00:17.:00:21.

you shakes... What's Steve Backshall talking about? Find out, on

:00:21.:00:25.

Newsround. First up, spot the difference. Which

:00:25.:00:30.

is the real Beyonce, and which, well, isn't? This recent image of

:00:30.:00:33.

pop superstar Beyonce has been created by the top fashion designer

:00:33.:00:37.

Roberto Cavalli. Some people say it makes the superstar look unnaturally

:00:37.:00:40.

thin, adding to the long running debate over how images of celebs can

:00:40.:00:45.

be altered. As Joe's been finding out, it's something that's becoming

:00:45.:00:55.

easier and easier. This is the image that has caused a stir. Be on sale

with long legs, a far cry from her normal as lactic image. Roberto

:01:14.:01:24.
:01:24.:01:31.

Cavalli has defended his picture, saying it was only meant to be a

:01:31.:01:35.

stylised vision. But it has opened up a debate as to how much fashion

:01:35.:01:37.

photographs are manipulative. You can make lots of little changes.

:01:37.:01:40.

can move acne, and whiten teeth. See this? It looks like you have been

:01:40.:01:42.

eating your spinach. Massive arms. That is incredible. And cannot

:01:42.:01:45.

believe how quick it is. Techniques like this are used all the time in

:01:45.:01:48.

fashion and media, but how does it affect how we use -- how we see

:01:48.:01:57.

ourselves. A recent study suggests that only half -- over half of the

:01:57.:02:00.

country have dissatisfaction is with their body. These physical

:02:00.:02:05.

perfections are not attainable. People often feel bad when the

:02:05.:02:09.

cannot live up to them. We call on the fashion industry to show people

:02:09.:02:15.

as they are, the people that what done this street, so we can

:02:16.:02:19.

celebrate our bodies. Debenhams today said it will not be retouching

:02:19.:02:25.

models. But when it brushing is as simple as this it is easy to see how

:02:25.:02:29.

an industry that is all about image find it hard to resist.

:02:29.:02:32.

Next to news of another shocking example of altering a picture -- but

:02:32.:02:35.

this time it's a painting of Her Majesty the Queen. Paint was sprayed

:02:36.:02:38.

on the portrait in Westminster Abbey. It's been taken down so work

:02:39.:02:43.

can be done to fix the damage. A man's been arrested for vandalism.

:02:43.:02:46.

Next to a failed record attempt to swim over 100 miles through

:02:46.:02:48.

shark-infested waters without a protective cage. But it wasn't the

:02:48.:02:54.

sharks that were the problem, it was these guys. Chloe McCardel wanted to

:02:54.:02:57.

do what no person had done before, swim from Cuba to Florida in

:02:57.:03:02.

shark-infested waters, but without a protective cage. It might not look

:03:02.:03:05.

too far, but you'd have to swim an Olympic-sized swimming pool 3,320

:03:05.:03:11.

times. And all the time knowing you're not alone in the water. Not

:03:11.:03:16.

just with sharks, but also jellyfish, some of them deadly.

:03:16.:03:20.

Chloe had swum just part of the way when she was stung on her face and

:03:20.:03:23.

mouth by what's thought to be several jellyfish. Some reports

:03:23.:03:26.

saying one was a Box Jellyfish, with has one of the deadliest venoms

:03:26.:03:36.
:03:36.:03:37.

known to man. The powerful ones get through your whole system, it is

:03:37.:03:42.

like a neurotoxin. It gives you shakes and the pain is absolutely

:03:42.:03:46.

extraordinary. It can be quite dangerous. The stings forced Chloe

:03:47.:03:50.

to stop her swim and she was taken by her support boat to Florida. It's

:03:50.:03:54.

not the first time that jellyfish have put an end to this world record

:03:54.:03:57.

attempt. Last year swimmer Diana Nyad attempted the swim but had to

:03:57.:04:01.

stop when she too was stung. Chloe's team say it will take her around 24

:04:01.:04:04.

hours to get over the injury. So for now, it looks like only the

:04:04.:04:09.

jellyfish will be swimming from Cuba to Florida.

:04:09.:04:13.

:04:13.:04:18.

things that sting. Last up, how well do you know your cat? In a new

:04:19.:04:21.

experiment, fifty felines in a village in Surrey were put under

:04:21.:04:23.

24/7 surveillance by scientists, recording their every movement using

:04:24.:04:28.

GPS trackers and tiny cat cams, for a BBC Horizon science programme.

:04:29.:04:31.

They found that moggies take care to avoid fights with their neighbours,

:04:32.:04:34.

preferring to stay out of trouble. You've been telling us on the

:04:35.:04:37.

website, all about your cats. Shivani and Sajanika from London
