:00:24. > :00:29.Good afternoon. Welcome to Newsround with me Hayley and for
:00:29. > :00:33.the next nine minutes, here is what I've got in store for you.
:00:33. > :00:37.Astronomers discover a growing galaxy of stars that's got them
:00:37. > :00:42.scratching their heads. A superfast plane that's trying to
:00:42. > :00:45.break the sound barrier. But first, in the last few hours, a
:00:45. > :00:52.man called toe New Nicklinson's lost his battle to get doctors to
:00:52. > :00:55.help him end his own life. He has locked-in syndrome which means he's
:00:55. > :00:58.paralysed from the neck down. He lives in extreme pain and doesn't
:00:58. > :01:01.want to suffer any more. At the moment, it's illegal in the UK to
:01:01. > :01:05.help someone to die, even if they're suffering. Tony went to
:01:06. > :01:08.court to try to get that law changed, today after months of
:01:08. > :01:12.consideration, the judges said they decided this was a decision the
:01:12. > :01:16.courts couldn't make. That's the job of Parliament, they said. Cases
:01:16. > :01:20.like this are extremely rare but Tony and his family said they plan
:01:20. > :01:24.to appeal. I believe the legal team acting on
:01:25. > :01:28.my behalf is prepared to go all the way with this. Unfortunately for me,
:01:28. > :01:32.it means yet another period of physical discomfort and anguish
:01:32. > :01:39.while we find out who controls my life, you or the state.
:01:39. > :01:43.Now, what a week it's been for this man, Tom Daley. He won a bronze
:01:43. > :01:46.medal on Saturday and today he is celebrating getting an A in Spanish
:01:46. > :01:49.in his A-level. Thousands of teenagers like him in England,
:01:49. > :01:53.Scotland and Northern Ireland got their results today and half will
:01:53. > :01:56.head off to university. All that might seem a long way away for you,
:01:56. > :02:00.but what people do when they leave school is starting to change.
:02:00. > :02:06.After months of hard work and exams, the results are finally in and the
:02:06. > :02:11.big question is, what's next? Well done... Some of you might have
:02:11. > :02:15.brothers and sisters heading to uni this year but this year the number
:02:15. > :02:19.applying has gone down 7%, one of the reasons might be that for the
:02:19. > :02:22.first time students in England will have to pay fees of up to �9,000 a
:02:23. > :02:26.year to study at uni. The Government wants to make sure more
:02:26. > :02:29.people can go to university if they want to, but that's not the only
:02:29. > :02:32.option you have when you leave school.
:02:32. > :02:37.Apprenticeships are one way to get a job you are interested in and get
:02:38. > :02:41.training at the same time. Bentley is one of the top car
:02:41. > :02:46.brands of the world. If you drive one of these, you have to earn
:02:46. > :02:49.megabucks. Every year, they take on 0 apprentices, just like these guys.
:02:49. > :02:52.The experience you gain from working in the industry is
:02:52. > :02:57.invaluable and second to none. get to earn and learn at the same
:02:57. > :03:01.time. In three years' time I'm going to have a degree under my
:03:01. > :03:06.belt, four years in a world-class company and I'll have no debts.
:03:06. > :03:10.People learn in different ways. Some people benefit from the hands-
:03:10. > :03:13.on stuff, some people are more like accustomed to academic studies.
:03:13. > :03:17.Whether it's designing cars in a place like this or running your own
:03:17. > :03:20.business, getting a dream job won't be easy. As some of the gays here
:03:20. > :03:24.have been finding out, there are loads of different ways to do it.
:03:24. > :03:34.Lots of you have been in touch to tell us you've already started
:03:34. > :04:02.
:04:02. > :04:07.Thanks so much, guys and keep your comments coming in. Manchester
:04:07. > :04:10.United have agreed a �24 million deal for Arsenal Captain Robin van
:04:10. > :04:14.Persie. United manager Sir Alex Ferguson says he should be
:04:14. > :04:18.available for selection on Monday's game against Everton as long as
:04:18. > :04:21.final discussions and medical checks go OK. The striker said in
:04:21. > :04:23.July head wouldn't stay with Arsenal because he didn't agree
:04:23. > :04:27.with how the club should move forward.
:04:27. > :04:31.Now, we've often talked on Newsround about the problems faced
:04:32. > :04:34.by children living in Somalia in East Africa. The country hasn't had
:04:34. > :04:38.a proper government for 20 years which has led to war and famine.
:04:38. > :04:43.Now it looks like things might be starting to change. In the next few
:04:43. > :04:46.weeks, elections will be helded to decide who runs the country. In
:04:46. > :04:49.Somali capital Mogadishu, people are beginning to rebuild their
:04:49. > :04:53.lives. When you think of Somalia, you
:04:53. > :04:57.probably wouldn't picture these scenes. A year ago, the pictures on
:04:57. > :05:01.TV of the capital city Mogadishu were more like this. Children
:05:01. > :05:06.affected by famine and violence. The City had been torn apart by
:05:06. > :05:08.fighting between the government and a militant Islamist group called
:05:08. > :05:12.Al-Shabab who controlled more than half the city. Eventually,
:05:12. > :05:16.Government forces managed to drive out Al-Shabab and, although they
:05:16. > :05:19.still remain a threat, carrying out occasional attacks, life has
:05:19. > :05:23.dramatically improved. Now hundreds of thousands of
:05:23. > :05:28.Somalis who lived as refugees outside the country are returning.
:05:29. > :05:32.Some come to visit. Others to rebuild their lives. These children
:05:32. > :05:38.have known nothing but war, but now there are signs of peace, they can
:05:38. > :05:42.begin to look forward to a brighter future. This 15-year-old girl says
:05:42. > :05:46.she's never been to school and now wants to get an education. A new
:05:46. > :05:49.president and Parliament is being nominated and a new Army is being
:05:49. > :05:52.created. Buildings are being re-developed,
:05:52. > :05:56.houses built and new businesses springing up around the city,
:05:56. > :06:00.something which was unimaginable a few months ago. For many people
:06:00. > :06:05.living in Somalia, the situation hasn't changed and stabilising the
:06:05. > :06:09.whole country is still a long way off. But for people living here in
:06:09. > :06:12.Mogadishu, the future is looking a little brighter.
:06:12. > :06:18.Next to a scientific discovery that's got the world's greatest
:06:18. > :06:22.minds scratching their heads. A massive cluster of galaxies has
:06:22. > :06:25.been discovered 5.7 billion years away from earth doing something
:06:25. > :06:30.unusual. Instead of not doing anything like other galaxies, this
:06:30. > :06:34.one is growing two new stars every day. It's forced researchers to
:06:34. > :06:38.reconsider how galaxies are formed. And a bit closer to earth, the US
:06:38. > :06:42.military's carried out test this is week on a new plane designed to fly
:06:42. > :06:46.at least seven times to the speed of sound. The technology is still
:06:46. > :06:51.being developed but if it works, you could fly between New York and
:06:51. > :06:56.London in just under an hour and it's got an awesome name too, here
:06:56. > :07:00.is Joe. This is Waverider. Cool name, cool
:07:00. > :07:05.concept. If things go to plan, this plane could carry paying passengers
:07:05. > :07:10.more than 4,000 miles an hour. That's six times the speed of sound.
:07:10. > :07:16.In other words, it could cut long, boring flights around the world to
:07:16. > :07:19.just minutes. But it's not the first time the aviation industry's
:07:20. > :07:25.created super fast aircraft. This is Concorde, the choice of plane
:07:25. > :07:29.for celebrities, rock stars and politicians. A pilot could travel
:07:29. > :07:35.at twice the sound of speed, which is called supersonic. Concorde is
:07:35. > :07:39.retired and this one's an iconic piece of aviation history. In 2003
:07:39. > :07:43.after 27 years of supersonic flight, Concordes were cancelled because
:07:43. > :07:49.they were too expensive to run and maintain. And until now, no plane
:07:49. > :07:52.has been built anywhere near as fast. This could be a leap forward
:07:52. > :07:56.even further than Concorde. Do you think we need it? The ordinary
:07:56. > :08:01.person wouldn't be able to pay for it, again it would be the rich and
:08:01. > :08:04.famous who'd use it but it would be an achievement in technology.
:08:04. > :08:07.Waverider's technology is being trested by the US military for
:08:07. > :08:11.weapons. At the moment it's dropped into the sky by a bigger plane.
:08:11. > :08:14.Once in flight, it's designed to ride on its own shock wave. That's
:08:15. > :08:19.where the nickname comes from. It's so quick that a trip from London to
:08:19. > :08:22.New York would take one hour, but it uses a lot of energy so, like
:08:22. > :08:25.Concorde, it would probably be quite expensive. It's not expected
:08:25. > :08:29.to be in flight for passengers until 2050 and we'll have to wait
:08:29. > :08:34.even longer to see if it has a better future than Concorde.
:08:34. > :08:39.Finally, during the Olympics, athletes who won golds each got
:08:39. > :08:44.their own stamp, but until today, paralympians weren't going to get
:08:44. > :08:47.the same special treatment. Royal Mail said it wouldn't create stamp
:08:47. > :08:52.force the athlete bus they've changed their mind. So we could be
