Hi, I'm Ricky with all the latest news this Tuesday morning.

0:00:060:00:09

Coming up in the next few minutes...

0:00:090:00:12

Some high-flying horses.

0:00:120:00:13

And why your phone could be making you feel itchy.

0:00:130:00:23

But first, there has been loads of gold medals

0:00:280:00:30

for Britain on day four of the World Para Athletics

0:00:300:00:32

Championships which are being held at London Stadium.

0:00:320:00:36

Hannah Cockroft won the T34 800m.

0:00:360:00:39

That adds to the gold she had already won in the 100m on Friday.

0:00:390:00:45

Also, Sophie Kamlish took home gold when she won the T43/T44 100m.

0:00:450:00:51

I'm kind of still not really believing it because obviously

0:00:510:00:54

the only other major international medal I've got was a bronze

0:00:540:00:58

in the 200 in 2013, so it's been quite a long time.

0:00:580:01:03

And Olivia Breen won the T38 long jump with a personal best of 4.81m.

0:01:030:01:07

This means that Great Britain are second in the medal table

0:01:070:01:11

with 20 medals in total and a very impressive 11 golds.

0:01:110:01:14

Well done, guys!

0:01:140:01:20

Now to some high-flying horses.

0:01:200:01:22

A new style of horse eventing is hoping to bring a little more

0:01:220:01:25

excitement to the sport.

0:01:250:01:26

We went along with a young super fan to see what it's all about.

0:01:260:01:31

Hi, I'm Izzie.

0:01:350:01:38

I love all things riding and I even enjoy lessons.

0:01:380:01:42

I've been riding since I was about five, but I am

0:01:420:01:45

here today to find out how the professionals do it.

0:01:450:01:48

This is the Event Rider Masters, a new type

0:01:480:01:50

of eventing competition, and I can't wait to see

0:01:500:01:56

the riders in action.

0:01:560:01:57

Eventing is also known as horse trials.

0:01:570:02:00

The competition has three different stages - dressage,

0:02:000:02:02

cross country and showjumping.

0:02:020:02:12

One of the riders here today is Gemma Tatterson.

0:02:120:02:14

She is a very experienced competitor and she was part of the

0:02:140:02:17

British Olympic team at Rio.

0:02:170:02:22

What makes the Event Rider Masters different to other competitions?

0:02:220:02:32

Event Rider Masters is a shortened, more exciting

0:02:320:02:34

version of eventing.

0:02:340:02:36

So it is actually the top 40 riders in the world come forward

0:02:360:02:39

which makes it very, very competitive and the build up towards

0:02:390:02:42

the end of the competition, really exciting for spectators and riders.

0:02:420:02:45

Well done on your lovely showjumping round.

0:02:450:02:48

How are you feeling now you are in seventh,

0:02:480:02:51

heading into the cross-country?

0:02:510:02:52

Yeah, we are really excited.

0:02:520:02:57

Primero is a new ride for me and it is only the second time

0:02:570:03:00

at this level.

0:03:000:03:01

So to jump a really good clear round, to be in the top ten,

0:03:010:03:05

is really exciting.

0:03:050:03:06

I'm going to be giving the cross-country

0:03:060:03:07

my best shot.

0:03:070:03:08

The overall winner is the rider with the fewest penalties

0:03:080:03:11

after the three stages.

0:03:110:03:12

Congratulations on winning.

0:03:120:03:13

How do you feel to win such a big event?

0:03:130:03:15

Thank you very much, Izzie.

0:03:150:03:17

It's really special.

0:03:170:03:17

It's a really special feeling because it doesn't happen

0:03:170:03:20

very often and I just get the impression I have succeeded in

0:03:200:03:23

achieving one of my dreams, so I am over the moon.

0:03:230:03:28

The idea behind the Event Rider Masters is to make

0:03:280:03:30

traditional eventing faster and more exciting.

0:03:300:03:35

I have had a great day and I hope to be competing

0:03:350:03:38

in it myself one day.

0:03:380:03:42

Could your phone give you head lice?

0:03:420:03:49

Some scientists say that if you use a smartphone or a tablet

0:03:490:03:52

you're twice as likely to get head lice than those who don't.

0:03:520:03:55

Huddling together watching videos or taking selfies with friends

0:03:550:03:57

means your heads are touching more often and increases your

0:03:570:03:59

chances of getting them.

0:03:590:04:00

This is a head louse and this is a nit, which is an egg.

0:04:000:04:04

Don't worry, they are nothing to be embarrassed about.

0:04:040:04:06

That's better.

0:04:060:04:07

I know, your whole body just started to feel a little

0:04:070:04:10

bit itchy, didn't it?

0:04:100:04:10

Many people get head lice or nits.

0:04:100:04:13

They are passed on by head to head contact and it's got nothing to do

0:04:130:04:17

with having dirty hair.

0:04:170:04:18

Other lice myths include...

0:04:180:04:19

"Lice can jump."

0:04:190:04:20

That is not true.

0:04:200:04:25

They are not that athletic and the best they can manage is a crawl.

0:04:250:04:29

Look at this guy go!

0:04:290:04:30

"Lice prefer long hair."

0:04:300:04:31

Wrong.

0:04:310:04:36

Lice don't like sunlight so they hide close to the scalp

0:04:360:04:40

and that's the same whether your hair is long or short.

0:04:400:04:43

Some people say lice come from animals.

0:04:430:04:45

That isn't true either.

0:04:450:04:46

They only live on humans.

0:04:460:04:47

No one knows where they came from, but they've been around as far

0:04:470:04:50

back as the Egyptians.

0:04:500:04:51

Still feeling a bit itchy?

0:04:510:04:54

That's all from me, Newsround's back right here in about half an hour.

0:04:540:04:57
