:00:00. > :00:09.Good morning, guys. It's Friday, I'm Ayshah and I've got your news and
:00:10. > :00:13.sport headlines, including: Ricky gets his brain scanned and finds out
:00:14. > :00:16.how robots may soon be able to think just like us.
:00:17. > :00:18.And: An unusual welcome to the world for this brand new baby gorilla.
:00:19. > :00:38.This is Newsround. First an update on Ukraine. World
:00:39. > :00:43.leaders want Russia to stop its action in Crimea in the south of
:00:44. > :00:47.Ukraine. The area came under Russian control last month, and the army
:00:48. > :00:51.moved in. A big vote will be held this Sunday asking the people of
:00:52. > :00:55.Crimea to choose whether they want to be part of Russia over the region
:00:56. > :00:59.to operate as a republic on its own. This morning, the US Secretary of
:01:00. > :01:03.State John Kerry is preparing for important talks with Russia's
:01:04. > :01:06.Foreign Minister, and says America and Europe will be watching Russia
:01:07. > :01:10.very carefully. All week we've been showing you how
:01:11. > :01:13.a new wave of robotics is changing the way we work, play and live with
:01:14. > :01:17.robots. But some experts say it won't be long before robots are
:01:18. > :01:20.thinking like us, too. In fact, the chief engineer at Google reckons in
:01:21. > :01:25.just 15 years' time, computers will be more intelligent than humans.
:01:26. > :01:28.They'll be able to understand what we say, learn from experience and
:01:29. > :01:31.even tell stories. It sounds pretty cool, but should we be trying to
:01:32. > :01:40.build human-like robots at all? Here's Ricky.
:01:41. > :01:45.The brain is the most complex organ in the body. It is the command
:01:46. > :01:50.centre that controls everything from our heartbeat to how we feel.
:01:51. > :01:56.Electrical signals send information along pathways that allow us to
:01:57. > :01:59.think, feel and act. But now scientists are using what they know
:02:00. > :02:04.about the human brain to build a supercomputer that could one day,
:02:05. > :02:09.way off in the future, allow a robot to think for themselves.
:02:10. > :02:13.Spinnaker is one of the most advanced computers in the world.
:02:14. > :02:18.When it is finished, it will contain a million microprocessors. So this
:02:19. > :02:21.is a scan of my brain. You are trying to create a computer which is
:02:22. > :02:26.based on the same principles, is that correctques-mac we know what
:02:27. > :02:29.the brain looks like and how it is structured, but we still don't
:02:30. > :02:33.understand how it works. So we are building a machine that allows us to
:02:34. > :02:38.build little computer models of what is happening inside the brain to see
:02:39. > :02:41.if we can improve our understanding. Some experts say there are concerns
:02:42. > :02:46.when it comes to giving robots the ability to think for themselves. I
:02:47. > :02:50.think it is a good idea if we know that what we are interacting with is
:02:51. > :02:54.an artificial being rather than a human being. Trying to pass off
:02:55. > :02:59.robots as humans is probably something that we don't want to do.
:03:00. > :03:03.But there is demand for robots and computers that think like us. Google
:03:04. > :03:05.are currently developing an artificially intelligent search
:03:06. > :03:11.engine that they say will know us better than we know ourselves. But
:03:12. > :03:14.whether it is right or wrong will be a debate that we are likely to have
:03:15. > :03:19.even more as the world of robotics continues to evolve.
:03:20. > :03:22.Thank you, Ricky. You've been sending us your robot designs all
:03:23. > :03:26.this week, and later on this afternoon we'll be showing some of
:03:27. > :03:29.them to a robotics expert. Head to the website to check out a selection
:03:30. > :03:35.of your designs in our gallery. This one's from Natasha in London. It's a
:03:36. > :03:39.robotic guide dog for the blind. Here's two bots from Jet, aged six -
:03:40. > :03:42.they do everything he needs them to do. And this is from Alex in
:03:43. > :03:44.Berkshire. He's ten. This is a bomb-disposal robot that can help
:03:45. > :03:48.the Army. And the website's also where you can
:03:49. > :03:51.catch up with all the rest of Ricky's robot reports.
:03:52. > :03:57.Sport now, and it's been a pretty dodgy week all round for British
:03:58. > :04:00.clubs in Europe, with Arsenal and Man City's Champion's League dreams
:04:01. > :04:03.ending, and now Tottenham are in real trouble in the Europa League
:04:04. > :04:06.too. They lost 3-1 at home to Portuguese side Benfica last night,
:04:07. > :04:10.which means they'll have a huge job to do in next Thursday's away
:04:11. > :04:19.fixture in Lisbon if they're to reach the quarterfinals.
:04:20. > :04:23.It wouldn't be Friday without a cute animal story. And so here we go. A
:04:24. > :04:26.baby gorilla has been delivered by a rare animal Caesarean section at the
:04:27. > :04:29.San Diego Zoo in America. 18-year-old mother Imani gave birth
:04:30. > :04:33.to a two kilogram newborn girl. A team of surgeons delivered the baby
:04:34. > :04:37.after the mother struggled during birth. They say mother and baby are
:04:38. > :04:40.now doing well. Finally, we want your questions for
:04:41. > :04:44.the UK's first official astronaut, Major Tim Peake. In 2015 Tim will
:04:45. > :04:46.spend six months onboard the International Space Station carrying
:04:47. > :04:52.out scientific experiments, but we're speaking to him today. So get
:04:53. > :04:59.to the Newsround website and send us your questions.
:05:00. > :05:00.That's all from me, Ricky's here this afternoon at 4.20. Cf.
