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