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 | :01:27. | :01:33. | |
leaving you hot, go to the newsround website to find out how to keep cool | :01:34. | :01:37. | |
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 | :02:34. | :02:38. | |
drill monkey called Mubi. She has made friends with these Jack Russell | :02:39. | :02:47. | |
puppies and is being raised by a zoo keeper after her mother rejected | :02:48. | :02:49. | |
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 | :02:55. | :02:59. | |
a badge for astronaut Tim Peake to take into space. You don't | :03:00. | :03:01. |
