0:00:04 > 0:00:05Good morning.

0:00:05 > 0:00:06It's Monday.

0:00:06 > 0:00:08Ayshah here with all you need to know.

0:00:08 > 0:00:09Coming up.

0:00:09 > 0:00:11A Syrian refugee's Olympic dream.

0:00:11 > 0:00:15And you'll never guess what people want to call this boat.

0:00:24 > 0:00:27A refugee from Syria is hoping to qualify for the Rio Olympics just

0:00:27 > 0:00:31seven months after fleeing her war-torn homeland.

0:00:31 > 0:00:3218-year-old Yusra Mardini left with her sister and now

0:00:34 > 0:00:36lives in Germany.

0:00:36 > 0:00:40BBC reporter Jenny Hill has got the story.

0:00:40 > 0:00:43Today in front of the world's media, Yusra Mardini described her sea

0:00:43 > 0:00:45journey to Europe.

0:00:45 > 0:00:50The moment the boat broke down and she had to push it.

0:00:50 > 0:00:54People don't know how to swim even, so we had to get into the water

0:00:54 > 0:00:56and help them.

0:00:56 > 0:01:00Of course, I hated the sea after that, but, yeah,

0:01:00 > 0:01:03it was really tough experience.

0:01:03 > 0:01:06Yusra needs to shave eight seconds from her personal best

0:01:06 > 0:01:10if she is to make the refugee team.

0:01:10 > 0:01:13She is one of 43 international athletes who have been selected.

0:01:13 > 0:01:17Less than ten are expected to qualify for what will be

0:01:17 > 0:01:19an Olympic first.

0:01:19 > 0:01:23There is intense interest here in Yusra's story and that's

0:01:23 > 0:01:25because she is fast becoming a symbol.

0:01:25 > 0:01:32She represents the millions of people fleeing war and persecution.

0:01:32 > 0:01:35First she'll try for Rio, then Tokyo in 2020 and,

0:01:35 > 0:01:43after that, she'd like to qualify as an airline pilot.

0:01:43 > 0:01:45There was a big game at the Etihad yesterday

0:01:45 > 0:01:48when Manchester City hosted local rivals Manchester United.

0:01:48 > 0:01:52And it was Manchester-born player Marcus Rashford who swung the match.

0:01:52 > 0:01:55He scored the only goal of the game to take Manchester United

0:01:55 > 0:01:58to victory, leaving them just one point behind City

0:01:58 > 0:02:02in the league table.

0:02:02 > 0:02:05More football news now but with a difference.

0:02:05 > 0:02:08Top ladies team Arsenal LFC are helping change the lives

0:02:08 > 0:02:11of girls affected by war in Iraq.

0:02:11 > 0:02:14I've been finding out how.

0:02:14 > 0:02:19Children forced to flee their homes because of the war in Iraq,

0:02:19 > 0:02:25and Arsenal football club are two things that seem like they wouldn't

0:02:25 > 0:02:27have anything in common but a new project is trying

0:02:27 > 0:02:32to change that.

0:02:32 > 0:02:34Alongside Save The Children, Arsenal have built two football

0:02:34 > 0:02:35pitches in the northern part of Iraq.

0:02:35 > 0:02:38Since January 2014, more than 3 million Iraqis have

0:02:38 > 0:02:40fled their homes to escape the war.

0:02:40 > 0:02:44Half of them are children.

0:02:44 > 0:02:47But the charity and Arsenal football club hope these new fields give

0:02:47 > 0:02:54these guys the opportunity to have fun.

0:02:54 > 0:02:58There have been two pitches built, one for boys and one for girls.

0:02:58 > 0:03:01So far, 2,500 children have had the chance to play on them.

0:03:01 > 0:03:03In our latest Newsround special we're asking kids if Tech

0:03:03 > 0:03:05is taking over.

0:03:05 > 0:03:08In your lifetime, tablets, computers and phones have advanced

0:03:08 > 0:03:14super quickly and these gadgets now form a big part of our lives.

0:03:14 > 0:03:17So we thought we'd set a challenge to see if you could handle some

0:03:17 > 0:03:21really ancient tech.

0:03:21 > 0:03:23Modern technology is amazing with a world of information

0:03:23 > 0:03:26at our fingertips, but back when I was a kid we didn't have

0:03:26 > 0:03:31smartphones like these to chat to our mates.

0:03:31 > 0:03:33Oh no, I was using one of these.

0:03:33 > 0:03:37And all you could really use it for was to make phone calls

0:03:37 > 0:03:39and to text your mate and even that used to take ages.

0:03:39 > 0:03:42It's not just mobile phones that have transformed.

0:03:42 > 0:03:43Computers have too.

0:03:43 > 0:03:46So how would you guys get on using this old tech?

0:03:46 > 0:03:48How does it go on?

0:03:48 > 0:03:50I wonder what this does.

0:03:50 > 0:03:53No.

0:03:53 > 0:03:55This.

0:03:55 > 0:03:57No, that's not even a button.

0:03:57 > 0:03:59On.

0:03:59 > 0:04:01Switch it on.

0:04:01 > 0:04:04It's on.

0:04:04 > 0:04:05This is old.

0:04:05 > 0:04:09I know, so old.

0:04:09 > 0:04:12Return.

0:04:12 > 0:04:17Shall I give you a clue?

0:04:17 > 0:04:18This way.

0:04:18 > 0:04:20There you go.

0:04:20 > 0:04:22This is how you play a game.

0:04:22 > 0:04:24That's all I'm saying.

0:04:24 > 0:04:26What is this?

0:04:26 > 0:04:29I think this was to put a thing called floppy disks

0:04:29 > 0:04:33in, wasn't it?

0:04:33 > 0:04:34Where are you going?

0:04:34 > 0:04:35I don't know.

0:04:35 > 0:04:37Have you ever seen something like that before?

0:04:37 > 0:04:40No, but I've read about it in stories.

0:04:40 > 0:04:44So if you bought this, how would you get it home?

0:04:44 > 0:04:45This is really getting on my nerves.

0:04:45 > 0:04:47Z and X is left and right.

0:04:47 > 0:04:50Star and question mark is up and down.

0:04:50 > 0:04:53Sounds like Christmas music.

0:04:53 > 0:04:56There's actually colour on the screen.

0:04:56 > 0:04:57Go left.

0:04:57 > 0:04:58How do you fly up?

0:04:58 > 0:05:02Oh, yeah.

0:05:04 > 0:05:05Oh.

0:05:05 > 0:05:07What it's doing now, it's moving left and right.

0:05:07 > 0:05:09We've got to try and destroy the thing.

0:05:09 > 0:05:12I wouldn't mind having one of these computers to be honest.

0:05:12 > 0:05:13I think it's quite cool.

0:05:13 > 0:05:17It would take me like a year to learn how to use this.

0:05:17 > 0:05:20And if that's made your hungry for more tech then make sure

0:05:20 > 0:05:23you tune in for our Newsround Special -

0:05:23 > 0:05:24Is Tech Taking Over?

0:05:24 > 0:05:29- tomorrow at 5.30.

0:05:29 > 0:05:31Finally, when the people behind an important Royal research trip

0:05:31 > 0:05:35decided to ask the public to give it a name, this is probably not

0:05:35 > 0:05:36what they had in mind.

0:05:36 > 0:05:41Topping the poll so far is the name Boaty McBoatface!

0:05:41 > 0:05:4416,000 people have voted for the name.

0:05:44 > 0:05:47Other suggestions include Pingu and David Attenborough.

0:05:47 > 0:05:51The winner will be decided next month.

0:05:51 > 0:05:52That's all for this morning.

0:05:52 > 0:05:54Newsround's back at 4.20 this afternoon.

0:05:54 > 0:05:57Bye bye!
