Good morning.

It's Monday.

Ayshah here with all you need to know.

Coming up.

A Syrian refugee's Olympic dream.

And you'll never guess what people want to call this boat.

A refugee from Syria is hoping to qualify for the Rio Olympics just

seven months after fleeing her war-torn homeland.

18-year-old Yusra Mardini left with her sister and now

lives in Germany.

BBC reporter Jenny Hill has got the story.

Today in front of the world's media, Yusra Mardini described her sea

journey to Europe.

The moment the boat broke down and she had to push it.

People don't know how to swim even, so we had to get into the water

and help them.

Of course, I hated the sea after that, but, yeah,

it was really tough experience.

Yusra needs to shave eight seconds from her personal best

if she is to make the refugee team.

She is one of 43 international athletes who have been selected.

Less than ten are expected to qualify for what will be

an Olympic first.

There is intense interest here in Yusra's story and that's

because she is fast becoming a symbol.

She represents the millions of people fleeing war and persecution.

First she'll try for Rio, then Tokyo in 2020 and,

after that, she'd like to qualify as an airline pilot.

There was a big game at the Etihad yesterday

when Manchester City hosted local rivals Manchester United.

And it was Manchester-born player Marcus Rashford who swung the match.

He scored the only goal of the game to take Manchester United

to victory, leaving them just one point behind City

in the league table.

More football news now but with a difference.

Top ladies team Arsenal LFC are helping change the lives

of girls affected by war in Iraq.

I've been finding out how.

Children forced to flee their homes because of the war in Iraq,

and Arsenal football club are two things that seem like they wouldn't

have anything in common but a new project is trying

to change that.

Alongside Save The Children, Arsenal have built two football

pitches in the northern part of Iraq.

Since January 2014, more than 3 million Iraqis have

fled their homes to escape the war.

Half of them are children.

But the charity and Arsenal football club hope these new fields give

these guys the opportunity to have fun.

There have been two pitches built, one for boys and one for girls.

So far, 2,500 children have had the chance to play on them.

In our latest Newsround special we're asking kids if Tech

is taking over.

In your lifetime, tablets, computers and phones have advanced

super quickly and these gadgets now form a big part of our lives.

So we thought we'd set a challenge to see if you could handle some

really ancient tech.

Modern technology is amazing with a world of information

at our fingertips, but back when I was a kid we didn't have

smartphones like these to chat to our mates.

Oh no, I was using one of these.

And all you could really use it for was to make phone calls

and to text your mate and even that used to take ages.

It's not just mobile phones that have transformed.

Computers have too.

So how would you guys get on using this old tech?

How does it go on?

I wonder what this does.

No.

This.

No, that's not even a button.

On.

Switch it on.

It's on.

This is old.

I know, so old.

Return.

Shall I give you a clue?

This way.

There you go.

This is how you play a game.

That's all I'm saying.

What is this?

I think this was to put a thing called floppy disks

in, wasn't it?

Where are you going?

I don't know.

Have you ever seen something like that before?

No, but I've read about it in stories.

So if you bought this, how would you get it home?

This is really getting on my nerves.

Z and X is left and right.

Star and question mark is up and down.

Sounds like Christmas music.

There's actually colour on the screen.

Go left.

How do you fly up?

Oh, yeah.

Oh.

What it's doing now, it's moving left and right.

We've got to try and destroy the thing.

I wouldn't mind having one of these computers to be honest.

I think it's quite cool.

It would take me like a year to learn how to use this.

And if that's made your hungry for more tech then make sure

you tune in for our Newsround Special -

Is Tech Taking Over?

- tomorrow at 5.30.

Finally, when the people behind an important Royal research trip

decided to ask the public to give it a name, this is probably not

what they had in mind.

Topping the poll so far is the name Boaty McBoatface!

16,000 people have voted for the name.

Other suggestions include Pingu and David Attenborough.

The winner will be decided next month.

That's all for this morning.

Newsround's back at 4.20 this afternoon.

Bye bye!
