This is Newsround on Friday the 20th of May. | :00:00. | :00:00. | |
The tiny flying robots that have been invented in the US. | :00:00. | :00:12. | |
Plus, what made this weatherman lose his cool. | :00:13. | :00:31. | |
First this morning, 24 hours have passed since a plane on its way | :00:32. | :00:34. | |
There's still no sign of it and now the RAF and the Royal Navy | :00:35. | :00:40. | |
A search is underway to find out why a plane went missing yesterday. | :00:41. | :00:49. | |
The EgyptAir flight was carrying 66 people on a journey | :00:50. | :00:53. | |
from Paris in France to Cairo in Egypt, when the radars that keep | :00:54. | :00:57. | |
track of aircrafts as they travel lost touch with it. | :00:58. | :01:02. | |
Boats have been sent to look for any signs of wreckage | :01:03. | :01:05. | |
in the Mediterranean Sea, where the plane went missing. | :01:06. | :01:08. | |
No-one yet knows exactly what happened but search teams | :01:09. | :01:11. | |
Security experts say it might have been caused by terrorism, | :01:12. | :01:17. | |
but no-one is sure and nothing has been ruled out. | :01:18. | :01:20. | |
Millions of flights take place every year and events like this | :01:21. | :01:23. | |
The answer to what happened could be found in the black box - | :01:24. | :01:29. | |
a special device which records what happens inside a plane. | :01:30. | :01:34. | |
Investigations can be very complicated but more information | :01:35. | :01:36. | |
is expected to be announced over the next few days. | :01:37. | :01:41. | |
Remember, if there's anything in the news that upsets you, | :01:42. | :01:44. | |
you can head online and take a look at our special guide for advice | :01:45. | :01:47. | |
on what to do, and of course, we'll keep you updated on this story. | :01:48. | :01:52. | |
Tiny flying robots that can perch on the ceiling might sound | :01:53. | :01:55. | |
like something from a sci-fi movie, but now scientists in the US have | :01:56. | :01:58. | |
The tiny drones are about the size of a 10p coin and they're | :01:59. | :02:04. | |
thought to be the world's smallest winged robots. | :02:05. | :02:08. | |
Here to tell us more is BBC reporter Victoria Gill. | :02:09. | :02:14. | |
Thanks for joining us. Tell us, what do you think these robots can | :02:15. | :02:19. | |
actually do? They can fly and they are very tiny. | :02:20. | :02:25. | |
The idea is they would be usable as a swarm. They look like insects when | :02:26. | :02:30. | |
they fly and what the robot scientists at Harbord want to do is | :02:31. | :02:34. | |
make a horse War of them so you can carry the little sensors. If you | :02:35. | :02:40. | |
imagine a swarm of insect robots could send over the area of a forest | :02:41. | :02:46. | |
fire... -- Harvard. They would have a sensor to detect what is the most | :02:47. | :02:51. | |
intensely burning area of that fire. These robots are working together. | :02:52. | :02:56. | |
You see a lot of this. Our scientists looking at the natural | :02:57. | :03:00. | |
word for inspiration for creating new robots? | :03:01. | :03:04. | |
Absolutely. These are inspired by nature. When you watch them fly, you | :03:05. | :03:10. | |
can see how insect like there. The project at Harvard Harvard is | :03:11. | :03:16. | |
actually called robot be, because it is like a robotic be, and that is | :03:17. | :03:25. | |
studying how insect work on a large scale. -- robotic bee. They are tiny | :03:26. | :03:29. | |
and fragile but achieve acrobatic feats. The special little extra on | :03:30. | :03:35. | |
this particular achievement is that they have little landing pads and a | :03:36. | :03:40. | |
switchable electrostatic charge. That is the same charge you charge | :03:41. | :03:44. | |
able loon with, which you could stick to the wall, with a balloon. | :03:45. | :03:49. | |
You can switch on that landing pad so they stick and let go and fly | :03:50. | :03:54. | |
around. I imagine scientists sticking | :03:55. | :03:56. | |
balloons to their heads to work out how. | :03:57. | :03:58. | |
Swimming now, and Great Britain's success at the European Swimming | :03:59. | :04:01. | |
Ross Murdoch's gold in the 200m breaststroke was one of five medals | :04:02. | :04:04. | |
won at London's Aquatics Centre last night, but the champ won't be | :04:05. | :04:07. | |
competing in the event at the Rio Olympics after failing | :04:08. | :04:10. | |
It's been a long time coming, that swim. | :04:11. | :04:16. | |
To be that in season, to be that quick, to come away | :04:17. | :04:19. | |
with a gold medal here, I never thought that would be | :04:20. | :04:22. | |
happening here, so I'm absolutely delighted. | :04:23. | :04:26. | |
I had a little bit of a bad week a few weeks ago, | :04:27. | :04:29. | |
so it's just to prove to them that everything I do has been happening, | :04:30. | :04:33. | |
and we are on course for the next cycle, certainly. | :04:34. | :04:36. | |
If you're a fan of a team outside the Premier League, | :04:37. | :04:39. | |
you might soon have fewer matches to go to. | :04:40. | :04:41. | |
The big shake-up means there could be fewer teams | :04:42. | :04:44. | |
The Football League wants there to be 20 teams in each | :04:45. | :04:52. | |
They believe the change could help player development and reduce | :04:53. | :04:55. | |
Next, an historic golf club in Scotland has voted | :04:56. | :05:02. | |
to keep its rule that women can't be full members. | :05:03. | :05:06. | |
Female golfers can go to the course at Muirfield but only as visitors, | :05:07. | :05:10. | |
something that some people think is unfair and old-fashioned. | :05:11. | :05:14. | |
Well, we want to know what you think. | :05:15. | :05:16. | |
Should all clubs be open to both men and women? | :05:17. | :05:19. | |
Do you think it's fair to have clubs just for one or the other? | :05:20. | :05:22. | |
Ella's been in touch to let us know what she thinks. | :05:23. | :05:25. | |
She says, I think women should be allowed in any | :05:26. | :05:27. | |
Do head online and let us know your views. | :05:28. | :05:34. | |
Finally, how do you feel about spiders? | :05:35. | :05:36. | |
Well, a weatherman in the US has made his feelings very clear. | :05:37. | :05:49. | |
Texas is always the national champion... | :05:50. | :05:51. | |
A spider had crawled onto the screen during his forecast, | :05:52. | :05:54. | |
The team behind the camera can be heard laughing at him, | :05:55. | :05:58. | |
and luckily the weatherman saw the funny side too, | :05:59. | :06:01. |
