:00:09. > :00:15.Tuesday's top tales. On the way: Is this the super-speedy solution to
:00:15. > :00:23.achieving space-age travel? And how you train a crane to fly
:00:24. > :00:29.away from danger. Only on Newsround. First to the futuristic idea for
:00:29. > :00:32.space-age travel that could revolutionise the way we get around.
:00:32. > :00:36.The Hyperloop System uses air pressure to shoot passengers from
:00:36. > :00:39.city to city inside giant tubes at 800 miles an hour. It might be light
:00:39. > :00:46.years away but the billionaire behind it thinks it could still be
:00:46. > :00:55.big business. The first team created a electric
:00:55. > :01:00.cars, then he built rockets to carry supplies into space, and now, he has
:01:00. > :01:07.designed a futuristic system to fire passengers across entire countries
:01:07. > :01:12.in solar powered edge loops. He thinks metal pods containing
:01:12. > :01:22.passengers and cars could be shot through steel tubes at speeds of 800
:01:22. > :01:25.
:01:25. > :01:32.miles an hour. How will it work? The pods will be hovering inside the
:01:32. > :01:38.tube using a similar technology to air hockey. They will be fired down
:01:38. > :01:44.the tube using magnets which will slow the pods down. Inside the
:01:44. > :01:47.tubes, a partial air vacuum will be created, allowing the pods to glide
:01:47. > :01:55.through smoothly without bashing into their particles to slow them
:01:55. > :02:01.down. His vision of the future sounds great but there are no
:02:01. > :02:07.current plans to build it and it is estimated to cost at least �3.9
:02:07. > :02:13.billion. Some people think it can never actually be built. Even when
:02:13. > :02:17.you build an elevated train, there are substantial costs to that and
:02:17. > :02:21.there are always environmental lawsuits which people don't want.
:02:21. > :02:26.has invited people around the world to look his design and come up with
:02:26. > :02:30.ways to improve it. Although it sounds too good to be true, this
:02:30. > :02:34.pioneer has a history of making futuristic ideas a reality.
:02:34. > :02:37.Next to the meteors raining down on earth. These are just some of the
:02:37. > :02:40.amazing pictures taken by people across the UK who've stayed up late
:02:40. > :02:43.to see thousands of shooting stars. They're caused by the Perseed
:02:43. > :02:47.shower, which happens each year when debris from comets get into Earth's
:02:47. > :02:55.path and burn up while entering our atmosphere. It reached its height
:02:55. > :02:58.last night but experts say there's still lots to see. What I would say
:02:58. > :03:04.to view whizzes go out tonight if you have clear skies because the
:03:04. > :03:06.peak was last night but the shower lasts for a good few weeks, so if
:03:06. > :03:10.you have clear skies, go out and have a look.
:03:10. > :03:13.And from stars in the sky to stars on the track. When you think of
:03:13. > :03:15.Britain's greatest female athletes, Jess Ennis or Dame Kelly Holmes
:03:16. > :03:19.probably spring to mind. But last night, Christine Ohuruogu did
:03:19. > :03:24.something no UK woman's achieved, staking a claim to be considered the
:03:24. > :03:29.greatest of them all. A gold medal in Moscow, but only
:03:29. > :03:37.just! And as Christine Ohuruogu made her latest lunge for the line, she
:03:37. > :03:42.wrote her name into Britain's sporting history books. I feel like
:03:42. > :03:45.I am in a dream. This is exactly what I dreamt of. Now described by
:03:45. > :03:49.the head of UK athletics as one of the country's greatest ever
:03:49. > :03:53.athletes, here's why. Her first big taste of the top of the podium was
:03:53. > :03:57.with a Commonwealth Games gold in 2006, followed in 2007 by her first
:03:57. > :04:01.world title. A year later in Beijing, she added Olympic gold to
:04:01. > :04:10.the set. And yesterday's win took her to another level as the first
:04:10. > :04:14.British woman to win two World Championship gold medals. It's her
:04:14. > :04:18.consistency over the years. She is a phenomenal athlete. Her career
:04:18. > :04:21.hasn't been without its low points. In 2006, she was banned for a year
:04:21. > :04:25.after missing three routine drugs tests. And while Jessica Ennis & co
:04:25. > :04:27.enjoyed the golden glare of London 2012, Christine had to settle for
:04:27. > :04:32.silver after an injury-ravaged season deprived her of winning in
:04:32. > :04:36.front of her home crowd. All things the experts say have made her
:04:36. > :04:40.stronger and given her that extra drive to win, even if it was by just
:04:40. > :04:48.a hair's breadth, four thousandth of second.
:04:48. > :04:52.Thanks, Ore. We'll have an update on what's
:04:52. > :04:56.happened on the track today at 6:50 but finally, how do you teach a
