Good afternoon. I'm Leah and you're watching Newsround live on CBBC.

:00:00.:00:09.

Coming up: The brand new dinosaur discovery, that looks like a massive

:00:10.:00:17.

chicken. And Ricky's been taking a look at the very latest in wearable

:00:18.:00:19.

But first to a story that's made headlines all round the world - a

:00:20.:00:32.

Malaysia Airlines plane that's been missing for almost two weeks. Search

:00:33.:00:36.

teams have been looking for the aircraft after it lost contact.

:00:37.:00:40.

Since then there's been no trace of the plane, leaving investigators

:00:41.:00:42.

really confused, because it's so rare for something like this to

:00:43.:00:46.

happen. But now experts are checking out pictures of what they think

:00:47.:00:50.

could be wreckage, in the sea, near Australia.

:00:51.:00:54.

These satellite images show what investigators think could be parts

:00:55.:00:57.

of the missing plane. The grainy pictures were taken several days ago

:00:58.:01:01.

over the southern Indian Ocean. It's thought this could be the first

:01:02.:01:04.

major breakthrough in the search for the plane so far. There's been a

:01:05.:01:11.

huge effort to find the Malaysia Airlines plane and 26 countries are

:01:12.:01:14.

helping with the search, including the UK. Here's what we know so far.

:01:15.:01:19.

Flight MH370 took off from Kuala Lumpur on 8th March and not long

:01:20.:01:22.

afterwards it stopped all communication. When the plane didn't

:01:23.:01:27.

arrive in Beijing, teams from nearby countries started to search areas

:01:28.:01:32.

around Malaysia. But then as the days went on, the search got a lot

:01:33.:01:36.

bigger but still nothing came up. Some people criticised the way the

:01:37.:01:38.

Malaysian authorities were handling the investigation. But now,

:01:39.:01:44.

Australian officials think they've found something, about 1,500 miles

:01:45.:01:50.

off the coast of Western Australia. There are two objects. From the

:01:51.:01:53.

pictures, it's far from clear what they are. One is 24 metres across.

:01:54.:01:58.

The other one is smaller than that. Australian maritime officials said

:01:59.:02:02.

they have not been able to pick up any sort of markings on it. What

:02:03.:02:06.

they are saying, though, is that it could potentially be part of MH

:02:07.:02:11.

Flight 370, which is why they have deployed a number of surveillance

:02:12.:02:14.

planes in that direction and also some ships. We're still waiting to

:02:15.:02:21.

find out for sure if this is a part of the missing plane. It's still not

:02:22.:02:24.

clear what happened and why contact was lost. But losing touch with an

:02:25.:02:28.

airline happens so rarely and that's the reason the world has been

:02:29.:02:31.

gripped by this mystery. And if you're worried or upset about

:02:32.:02:35.

anything you see on the news, there's info and advice for you on

:02:39.:02:43.

Next, scientists in America say they've discovered a new species of

:02:44.:02:46.

dinosaur, which they think proves the creatures were still evolving

:02:47.:02:51.

when they went extinct. Anzu wyliei looks a bit like a giant chicken,

:02:52.:02:55.

and has been identified from three different skeletons found in the

:02:56.:02:58.

fossil-rich Hell Creek area of North and South Dakota. Scientists say

:02:59.:03:03.

that even for a dinosaur, this one was pretty weird-looking. It has a

:03:04.:03:11.

strange boney cress, like a type of bird. It has a beak rather than any

:03:12.:03:19.

tup of teeth. It has a peculiar jawline. The lower jaw has ridges,

:03:20.:03:24.

so it can slide the jaw back and forth to cut up vegetation and small

:03:25.:03:32.

animals. Next to a story about a climbing duo, a safety rope and one

:03:33.:03:36.

of the world's biggest caves. American and German climbers Chris

:03:37.:03:39.

and Stefan set out on a mission to climb up this huge cave in Oman in

:03:40.:03:43.

the Middle East. With only a safety rope as their security, it was a

:03:44.:03:47.

risky challenge that had never been attempted before. The pair had some

:03:48.:03:50.

scary moments but managed to reach the top successfully after two

:03:51.:03:56.

weeks. Today on Newsround we've been

:03:57.:03:59.

showing you the latest bits of wearable technology - from the

:04:00.:04:02.

clothes that monitor your fitness to waterproof smart watches. Ricky got

:04:03.:04:05.

his hands on some of these gadgets at the Wearable Tech Show in London

:04:06.:04:09.

and found out how they're going to be changing the way we live our

:04:10.:04:12.

daily lives. These are nor ordinary sports

:04:13.:04:15.

shorts. Oh, no. Inside they have the sensors which can measure the

:04:16.:04:18.

movement in your muscles. This company has created a special film

:04:19.:04:25.

which is on it's inner xoen et of your mobile phone and it protects it

:04:26.:04:29.

from the water, so it works when it is wet.

:04:30.:04:35.

Check out loads more of Ricky's reports from the Wearable Tech Show

:04:36.:04:39.

on our website and that's also where you'll find our next story - twin

:04:40.:04:42.

polar bear cubs! They were only born 14 weeks ago. They've already been

:04:43.:04:46.

shown off to the public for the first time at a zoo in Germany. The

:04:47.:04:49.

two cubs and mother Giovanna explored their outside enclosure

:04:50.:04:52.

together, bonding well as a family. Keepers say mum is looking after the

:04:53.:04:56.

cubs very well and all three are in a good condition. That's all from

:04:57.:04:59.

me, Newsround's back this evening
