Good afternoon, Jenny here live with all the top

:00:10.:00:12.

First, Britain's sports stars will be on a mission

:00:13.:00:15.

for medals tonight at the Para Athletics

:00:16.:00:18.

Kate Gray is there and she's got all you need to know.

:00:19.:00:23.

This evening Paralympic champion Hannah Cockroft is back on this

:00:24.:00:27.

track for a third time, going for her third gold medal

:00:28.:00:31.

They call her Hurricane Hannah but there is one person

:00:32.:00:36.

that can get in her way, team-mate Kare Adenegan, who has

:00:37.:00:39.

She has already won a silver and bronze at these championships,

:00:40.:00:46.

so could she knock Hannah off the top spot and take

:00:47.:00:49.

Elsewhere on the track, Georgina Hermitage goes

:00:50.:00:53.

in the T37 400 metres, and she has been on an

:00:54.:00:57.

At school she was told she was not good enough to be a runner.

:00:58.:01:02.

Now look at her, a Paralympic champion, and hoping

:01:03.:01:05.

to defend her world title here at the London Stadium.

:01:06.:01:11.

Well, Hannah Cockroft is being tipped to make

:01:12.:01:13.

more history tonight, with a third gold

:01:14.:01:15.

But just how much do you know about her?

:01:16.:01:20.

Hannah Cockroft is one of Britain's biggest superstar athletes.

:01:21.:01:23.

She's the Paralympic and world-record holder in the 100

:01:24.:01:26.

metres, 200 metres and 400 metres in her classification, T34.

:01:27.:01:33.

She's so fast, her nickname is Hurricane Hannah.

:01:34.:01:36.

But she originally wanted to be a dancer, discovering her love

:01:37.:01:38.

for sports and racing when she was a teenager.

:01:39.:01:42.

Her favourite snack is chocolate raisins.

:01:43.:01:45.

But she hates, and I mean hates, fish!

:01:46.:01:49.

And like lots of sports stars, she has a few superstitions.

:01:50.:01:52.

Her nails have to match her kit or chair.

:01:53.:01:55.

And has to listen to Hold On by Skepta.

:01:56.:02:03.

Hannah says her biggest ambition in life is to be unbeatable.

:02:04.:02:06.

Well, we think she's doing a pretty good job so far.

:02:07.:02:10.

Next to the summer smash hit that's made history.

:02:11.:02:16.

Do you feel like this song is everywhere?

:02:17.:02:24.

Well, Despacito has just become the most streamed of all time.

:02:25.:02:28.

It would take over 40,000 years to stream it back to back.

:02:29.:02:45.

It's the version featuring Justin Bieber that's got to the top,

:02:46.:02:52.

which is funny, really, cos he knocked his own song Sorry

:02:53.:02:56.

And Ed Sheeran's Shape Of You is third.

:02:57.:03:04.

Despacito has also reached number one in 35 countries.

:03:05.:03:08.

It looks like the song won't be going away any time soon.

:03:09.:03:12.

And that's a good thing, cos I love it!

:03:13.:03:18.

Next up is the story of a cat who went on an extraordinary

:03:19.:03:22.

He looks happy now in the arms of his owner, but this

:03:23.:03:32.

He was on a trip in the Australian outback with his owners,

:03:33.:03:38.

But the caravan they were in broke down, and they were stuck for hours.

:03:39.:03:47.

And Whiskers escaped for a walk in the middle of the night.

:03:48.:03:52.

In the morning his owners couldn't find him.

:03:53.:03:55.

They searched all day, but then eventually had to leave.

:03:56.:04:01.

Three months later the owners got an unexpected phone call.

:04:02.:04:06.

He'd been taken to a vets', who scanned a microchip

:04:07.:04:12.

Now he's been reunited with his owners, it might be

:04:13.:04:19.

a while before he's allowed out on another trip.

:04:20.:04:25.

We have been asking what your plans for summer holidays.

:04:26.:04:45.

Newsround's back right here tomorrow morning at 7:40am.
