:00:14. > :00:18.Landing on the rubber duck, it in space could be harder than

:00:19. > :00:25.scientists thought. And the puppy and baby monkey who are the best of

:00:26. > :00:29.friends. First, a massive heatwave is heading to the UK just in time

:00:30. > :00:33.for the summer holidays. Weather forecasters say tomorrow could be

:00:34. > :00:38.the hottest day of the year. People are being told to drink a lot of

:00:39. > :00:42.water, use sunscreen and stay out of the sun at the hottest times of the

:00:43. > :00:46.day, because of a storm thousands of miles away. Here is the BBC

:00:47. > :00:50.weatherman Peter Gibbs to explain what is going on. In the first week

:00:51. > :00:56.of July, a super typhoon was churning across the north-west

:00:57. > :00:59.Pacific, bringing strong winds and also dragging massive warm tropical

:01:00. > :01:03.air northwards and giving the jet stream a bit of a kick. Like

:01:04. > :01:10.Flickinger skipping rope, it set off a ripple that ran out across the

:01:11. > :01:14.Pacific. It has extended across the Atlantic and forced the jet stream

:01:15. > :01:18.to go northwards across Europe, letting warm and humid air spread

:01:19. > :01:24.across the UK, bringing a brief heatwave, breaking down into big

:01:25. > :01:26.thunderstorms. So a storm over the north-west Pacific can set up

:01:27. > :01:33.thunderstorms ten days later 10,000 miles away. And if the weather is

:01:34. > :01:37.leaving you hot, go to the newsround website to find out how to keep cool

:01:38. > :01:42.in a heatwave. Next, a plan to land on an icy, in

:01:43. > :01:46.space will be more difficult than scientists previously thought. The

:01:47. > :01:50.European Space Agency have pictures of the comet, nicknamed the rubber

:01:51. > :01:54.duck, because of its shape. Scientists didn't realise the

:01:55. > :01:57.surface of the object would be so uneven. A probe called Rosetta will

:01:58. > :02:02.move closer to the comet in an couple of weeks. It will scan the

:02:03. > :02:06.surface for a good place for a robot to land later in the year.

:02:07. > :02:11.He may have heard about electric cars, but how about an electric

:02:12. > :02:14.plane? This is one taking to the skies at the Farnborough

:02:15. > :02:19.International airshow this week. It uses battery stored in its wings to

:02:20. > :02:23.zip around, rather than fuel. It is hoped planes like this will cut down

:02:24. > :02:28.on the amount of fuel needed to fly. It seats to people but the big plan

:02:29. > :02:33.is to build and 90 seat Airbus. Take a look at these guys. Although

:02:34. > :02:38.they are very different, they are the very best pals. This is a baby

:02:39. > :02:47.drill monkey called Mubi. She has made friends with these Jack Russell

:02:48. > :02:49.puppies and is being raised by a zoo keeper after her mother rejected

:02:50. > :02:51.her. He took her home and introduced her to his pet dogs and she settled

:02:52. > :02:54.in. That is all from me, newsround is

:02:55. > :02:59.back tomorrow in the morning when we can speak about how you will design

:03:00. > :03:01.a badge for astronaut Tim Peake to take into space. You don't
