Hello there. It's the middle of the week. This ain't no mid-range show.

:00:23.:00:28.

Of course not, Ricky and Sonali here with your high-end Newsround.

:00:28.:00:35.

The record breaking, dare-devil ten-year-old. We look at some of

:00:35.:00:40.

the most fierce dinosaurs ever. First floods have swamped southern

:00:40.:00:44.

Pakistan with up to five million people affected so far. Just over a

:00:44.:00:50.

year ago the very same area, Sindh province, was devastated by some of

:00:50.:00:53.

the worst flooding in decades. People recovering from those floods

:00:53.:00:57.

have now been hit again. Last summer, floodwater ripped through

:00:57.:01:01.

many parts of Pakistan. Up to 20 million people were affected, with

:01:02.:01:07.

Sindh province in the south of the country worst hit. Now, heavy

:01:07.:01:11.

monsoon rains have struck again, causing misery for families still

:01:11.:01:16.

trying to re-build their lives. Thousands of villages are affected

:01:16.:01:22.

across the region. Many shops in Karachi are closed because they are

:01:22.:01:25.

under water. Almost one million houses have been destroyed or

:01:25.:01:31.

damaged by rising waters, forcing many people to flee their homes.

:01:31.:01:34.

TRANSLATION: The water is very dirty. Sometimes we don't eat for

:01:34.:01:43.

two or three days. There's no firewood for cooking.

:01:43.:01:47.

A BBC reporter went to see where some are getting help. This is a

:01:47.:01:50.

few who have come to this point from the villages which have been

:01:50.:01:54.

destroyed to get food aid. As you can see, they are carrying sacks of

:01:54.:02:00.

wheat. There is oil and high-energy biscuits given out by international

:02:00.:02:03.

organisations. One of the charities helping those out there is Save the

:02:03.:02:07.

Children. People are trying to revive their

:02:07.:02:11.

livelihoods from the floods last year. This has again before

:02:11.:02:14.

affected bad because of the floods which have happened now. Schools

:02:14.:02:19.

have been turned into relief camps for people who have been displaced.

:02:19.:02:23.

Because of that the children cannot go to school any more. At the same

:02:23.:02:27.

time there is a risk of disease spreading, because there is a lot

:02:27.:02:35.

of floodwater standing. Diseases such as cholera, malaria, diarrhoea

:02:35.:02:38.

are affecting those living there. These floods are not on the same

:02:38.:02:42.

scale as last year's, but with more rains to come, things look like

:02:42.:02:46.

they could get worse. Cheryl Cole has flown out to Afghanistan to

:02:46.:02:51.

visit British troops. Here she is in one of her videos. She will make

:02:51.:02:55.

a special film to mark ten years of British operations in the country.

:02:55.:03:03.

As part of the trip she is meeting members of the Navy, army and Royal

:03:03.:03:09.

Air Force. He has climbed to nearly 300 peaks, braved deep snow and

:03:09.:03:14.

bagged himself a place in the record books. We are talking about

:03:14.:03:21.

our presspacker, Ben, who is just ten. Hi, I'm Ben. I'm a world

:03:21.:03:26.

record breaking climber. This summer, I became the youngest

:03:26.:03:32.

person ever to climb all the Scottish peaks above 3,000 peaks.

:03:32.:03:37.

They are monro peaks and there are 380 of them. When I got to the last

:03:37.:03:41.

one I was happy and satisfied, but also a bit sad because that was the

:03:41.:03:46.

end. I don't know why I love walking - I just do. I think it is

:03:46.:03:52.

something to do with the challenge. I've walked through -- worn through

:03:52.:03:57.

five pairs of boots. I walk in them until they virtually dissinister

:03:57.:04:02.

rate. It is breezy today. We've had some rain. It's not nearly as bad

:04:02.:04:06.

as some of the weather I've walked in before. Any way, I love walking

:04:06.:04:12.

in all conditions. On some of the peaks I've had to climb through

:04:12.:04:15.

knee-deep snow. You have to keep going. Sometimes the mountains can

:04:15.:04:21.

be dangerous. You need to be prepared. Here are my three top

:04:21.:04:27.

tips of how to be a mountaineer. Tip one, always be prepared with

:04:27.:04:32.

extra food and clothes. Tip two, if you get bored and you are finding

:04:32.:04:36.

it hard, then think about something good that you're going to do when

:04:36.:04:42.

you get down again. Tip three, get a good dad to take you up the

:04:42.:04:47.

Monroes. Now I have climbed them all I don't know what to do next. I

:04:47.:04:50.

enjoy going to the Alps and I know there are more challenges out there.

:04:50.:04:57.

This is Ben. The ultimate Ben Ten there.

:04:57.:05:02.

Scotland have made it two wins out of two at the rugby World Cup in

:05:02.:05:07.

New Zealand. This morning they beat Georgia 15-16. Dan Parks kicked the

:05:07.:05:11.

points to keep them at the top of Pool B. A brand new show starts

:05:11.:05:16.

tonight, which uncovers the daddy of all dinosaurs, the spinosaurus

:05:16.:05:20.

is said to be the biggest land predator, it was 17 metres long.

:05:20.:05:25.

The programme pieces together some of the latest discoveries and

:05:25.:05:31.

brings them to life with graphics. It shows dinosaurs bigger and

:05:31.:05:37.

badder and more bizarre than you've ever seen before.

:05:38.:05:43.

Here's a question for you; who would come out on top in a fight

:05:43.:05:46.

between a spinosaurus and a carcharo-dontosaurus?

:05:46.:05:55.

Well, the answer can be found on the BBC's brand new epic series of

:05:55.:05:59.

Planet Dinosaur. State-of-the-art 3D technology tells the story of

:05:59.:06:06.

all the creatures which used to roam our planet 200 million years

:06:06.:06:11.

ago. This group lived from South America, through Europe to Asia.

:06:11.:06:15.

the last ten years scientists have made more important discoveries.

:06:15.:06:18.

They say they have a better understanding of our predecessors

:06:18.:06:26.

which once ruleed the planet. In just the last few years we have

:06:26.:06:31.

uncovered fossils, preserved and in tact. New fossils have been dug up

:06:31.:06:37.

in China, Brazil and Argentina. In the latest -- and the latest

:06:37.:06:41.

technology has been used to bring them back to life.

:06:41.:06:45.

I love it. It looks amazing. Joining us here on the sofa is the

:06:45.:06:50.

guy who produced the series, Nigel Patterson, which makes you a

:06:50.:06:53.

dinosaur expert. You say lots of things have been

:06:53.:06:57.

discovered about them in the last ten years. What is your favourite?

:06:57.:07:01.

I think, for me, it is more dinosaurs have been discovered in

:07:01.:07:06.

the last ten years than in the preceding 200. T-rex, the biggest

:07:06.:07:13.

has been deposed not once, not twice, but three times, not least

:07:13.:07:18.

by spinosaurus. Finally, I think for me, feathered dinosaurs that we

:07:18.:07:21.

found in China now show the close relationship between dinosaurs and

:07:22.:07:26.

birds, so much so that dinosaurs think they are closely related. If

:07:26.:07:32.

you look out in the garden you are looking at the decent dents of

:07:32.:07:35.

dinosaurs. The sound are interesting. How do you get to

:07:35.:07:43.

sound? We have to speculate on them. You are using natural history rules,

:07:43.:07:47.

if bigger the louder the roar. We don't want them to roar willy-nilly.

:07:47.:07:51.
