Landing on the rubber duck, it in space could be harder than

:00:14.:00:18.

scientists thought. And the puppy and baby monkey who are the best of

:00:19.:00:25.

friends. First, a massive heatwave is heading to the UK just in time

:00:26.:00:29.

for the summer holidays. Weather forecasters say tomorrow could be

:00:30.:00:33.

the hottest day of the year. People are being told to drink a lot of

:00:34.:00:38.

water, use sunscreen and stay out of the sun at the hottest times of the

:00:39.:00:42.

day, because of a storm thousands of miles away. Here is the BBC

:00:43.:00:46.

weatherman Peter Gibbs to explain what is going on. In the first week

:00:47.:00:50.

of July, a super typhoon was churning across the north-west

:00:51.:00:56.

Pacific, bringing strong winds and also dragging massive warm tropical

:00:57.:00:59.

air northwards and giving the jet stream a bit of a kick. Like

:01:00.:01:03.

Flickinger skipping rope, it set off a ripple that ran out across the

:01:04.:01:10.

Pacific. It has extended across the Atlantic and forced the jet stream

:01:11.:01:14.

to go northwards across Europe, letting warm and humid air spread

:01:15.:01:18.

across the UK, bringing a brief heatwave, breaking down into big

:01:19.:01:24.

thunderstorms. So a storm over the north-west Pacific can set up

:01:25.:01:26.

thunderstorms ten days later 10,000 miles away. And if the weather is

in a heatwave. Next, a plan to land on an icy, in

:01:38.:01:42.

space will be more difficult than scientists previously thought. The

:01:43.:01:46.

European Space Agency have pictures of the comet, nicknamed the rubber

:01:47.:01:50.

duck, because of its shape. Scientists didn't realise the

:01:51.:01:54.

surface of the object would be so uneven. A probe called Rosetta will

:01:55.:01:57.

move closer to the comet in an couple of weeks. It will scan the

:01:58.:02:02.

surface for a good place for a robot to land later in the year.

:02:03.:02:06.

He may have heard about electric cars, but how about an electric

:02:07.:02:11.

plane? This is one taking to the skies at the Farnborough

:02:12.:02:14.

International airshow this week. It uses battery stored in its wings to

:02:15.:02:19.

zip around, rather than fuel. It is hoped planes like this will cut down

:02:20.:02:23.

on the amount of fuel needed to fly. It seats to people but the big plan

:02:24.:02:28.

is to build and 90 seat Airbus. Take a look at these guys. Although

:02:29.:02:33.

they are very different, they are the very best pals. This is a baby

drill monkey called Mubi. She has made friends with these Jack Russell

puppies and is being raised by a zoo keeper after her mother rejected

her. He took her home and introduced her to his pet dogs and she settled

:02:50.:02:51.

in. That is all from me, newsround is

:02:52.:02:54.

back tomorrow in the morning when we can speak about how you will design

a badge for astronaut Tim Peake to take into space. You don't
