:00:00. > :00:07.Ricky here with your latest Newsround.

:00:08. > :00:11.Coming up this Wednesday afternoon: What happens

:00:12. > :00:12.when drones go underwater, and get your questions

:00:13. > :00:28.He's the first British man to live in space and made a very brave

:00:29. > :00:32.journey back to Earth a few weeks ago, but how did Tim Peake do

:00:33. > :00:34.when he was given quick-fire questions from kids

:00:35. > :00:48.Is it true you can see the great Wall of China from space? Through a

:00:49. > :00:58.camera lens, but not through the naked eye. Did you get to vote in

:00:59. > :01:01.the EU referendum? Yes. Could you see all the planets orbiting the sun

:01:02. > :01:07.when you are in the International Space Station? Not all of them with

:01:08. > :01:12.the naked eye, but Jupiter, Saturn, Venus, and Mars, really stand out.

:01:13. > :01:22.Do you need a passport to go into space? No. Can you have a bath or a

:01:23. > :01:28.shower in space? A wet flannel. A bit like camping. What is it like

:01:29. > :01:30.being away from your family? It is tough but we have great

:01:31. > :01:31.communications from the space station.

:01:32. > :01:38.He could be in for a win at an award ceremony just for cats,

:01:39. > :01:42.after he helped his owner Harri through a tough time.

:01:43. > :01:48.You might have heard of the brave dogs that helped rescue people in

:01:49. > :01:53.disasters of fires. Or of the horses who helped the police are now in

:01:54. > :01:58.control. But watch out, there is a new era in town. Meet Houdini. He

:01:59. > :02:04.might look back and ordinary cat but to Harry he is a lot more than that.

:02:05. > :02:12.He helps me on a day-to-day basis because when I get home he normally

:02:13. > :02:17.comes to me and helped me. He is one of 15 finalists in a competition to

:02:18. > :02:20.find the cat of the year. He was nominated for the award because he

:02:21. > :02:29.has helped Harry get through some toff times. Houdini makes me feel

:02:30. > :02:35.happy and safe. Also in the running for the award is this cat, who

:02:36. > :02:41.helped Jessica Cope with her autism, and another who helped Lily deal

:02:42. > :02:44.with her brother's illness. The winner is announced in August,

:02:45. > :02:46.gridlock to all the cats taking part, and their human owners.

:02:47. > :02:48.Next up, scientists in the US working with drones.

:02:49. > :02:51.But they're not using them to fly high up into the air.

:02:52. > :03:01.This team are sending drones deep underwater.

:03:02. > :03:08.These days drones can be used in loads of different ways. They can

:03:09. > :03:12.detect fires, help farmers inspect their crops, they can be used in

:03:13. > :03:20.search and rescue operations, and for a bit of fun too. Now they can

:03:21. > :03:27.even explore the deep sea. A team from the US have developed this

:03:28. > :03:31.drone which has been specially modified to search for objects 100

:03:32. > :03:37.metres under the surface of the sea. Once it has been lowered into the

:03:38. > :03:40.water a team back on dry land can direct it back to wherever they

:03:41. > :03:46.wanted to go. We don't know what will happen, this is brand-new

:03:47. > :03:53.equipment we are testing out. A camera on-board films everything.

:03:54. > :03:58.Today these scientists are using it to get a tour of an old steamship

:03:59. > :04:04.which sunk in this in Nevada lake in the US. Experts say they are a site

:04:05. > :04:11.about the technology because it does not cost a lot of money, just over

:04:12. > :04:15.?1000. Which is much cheaper than sending a really expensive submarine

:04:16. > :04:17.underwater to capture images that have not been seen for years.

:04:18. > :04:19.Tomorrow morning, I'll be catching up with Ruby Barnhill,

:04:20. > :04:22.the 11-year-old girl who stars as Sophie in the BFG movie.

:04:23. > :04:26.She'll be live on Newsround and answering your questions.

:04:27. > :04:29.So get online and get them in right now.

:04:30. > :04:31.Whilst you're there check out this toilet themed restaurant that's

:04:32. > :04:34.opened up and find about the world's hottest chilli heading

:04:35. > :04:40.Finally lets finish up on a record for the world's biggest

:04:41. > :04:44.Hundreds got together at an ancient site in Mexico wearing costumes

:04:45. > :04:52.Well we're out of time but Newsround's back
