Hi there news fans, Jenny here with your Newsround update.

:00:00.:00:00.

We test the knowledge of two of the best paralympic swimmers

:00:00.:00:10.

And find out why there were fireworks in Malta

:00:11.:00:14.

First, a supply craft for the International Space station,

:00:15.:00:23.

carrying the first ever 3D printer for astronauts in orbit, has taken

:00:24.:00:26.

The un-manned cargo ship, called a space X, rocketed away from earth

:00:27.:00:32.

also carrying spacesuit batteries, food, clothes and a special device

:00:33.:00:34.

It won?t reach the space station until Tuesday.

:00:35.:00:46.

There were fireworks in Malta last night

:00:47.:00:48.

The Duke of Cambridge is visiting as a last minute replacement

:00:49.:00:52.

for his wife Kate, whose not feeling very well.

:00:53.:00:54.

Malta is celebrating 50 years of independence from UK rule.

:00:55.:00:56.

In a speech, William said his grandmother, the

:00:57.:00:59.

Paralympic gold medal-winnning swimmers,

:01:00.:01:07.

Ellie Simmonds and Ollie Hynd are no strangers to strong competition, so

:01:08.:01:10.

last time they popped into Newsround we set them a challenge of our own.

:01:11.:01:14.

Find out who will sink and who will swim!

:01:15.:01:27.

Before you head back to the pool we want you to take part in our very

:01:28.:01:34.

own quiz. I will ask you a series of questions and the one who gets the

:01:35.:01:39.

most correct will swim and the one who doesn't will sink. Orly, you got

:01:40.:01:45.

a winning time of two minutes 22 seconds in your 200 metres swim, for

:01:46.:01:49.

the Commonwealth Games. Is that faster than the world-record for

:01:50.:01:56.

bursting the hot water bottles? I will say it is not. Correct. Ellie,

:01:57.:02:03.

you recently beat your own world record in a 200 metre individual

:02:04.:02:10.

medley, but which is longer, 200 metres or 2000 chocolate bars

:02:11.:02:20.

back-to-back? 200 metres. Correct. You are both very good swimmers but

:02:21.:02:23.

we want you to guess the longest distance someone has swum in the sea

:02:24.:02:34.

in miles. What do you think? 250? I would say 102. Colleague are

:02:35.:02:45.

correct. It was 139. How does it feel to have beaten Ellie? I am

:02:46.:02:48.

really happy to have beaten Ellie and I trained really hard for this.

:02:49.:02:53.

I put everything into it and I am very happy to have one.

:02:54.:02:55.

Spiders, love them or hate them, you might have to get used to them.

:02:56.:02:58.

That's because experts say they're expecting a

:02:59.:03:00.

"good spider season" this Autumn, and we should see more around.

:03:01.:03:03.

It's because of the recent mild weather,

:03:04.:03:05.

which has meant there are lots more insects for the spiders to eat.

:03:06.:03:11.

And we've been asking for your spider spotting, and we've

:03:12.:03:14.

Caitlin from London has a spider nest in her house, she says:

:03:15.:03:19.

I keep finding massive ones everywhere.

:03:20.:03:21.

There was one on the kitchen floor last night and when I tried

:03:22.:03:26.

to catch it, it ran faster than I'd ever seen a spider run.

:03:27.:03:29.

I have one spider that is very cool it sits in my hand very nicely,

:03:30.:03:35.

I don't want to throw it away, I want to keep it.

:03:36.:03:37.

Thanks so much for all those comments.

:03:38.:03:51.

Heads to the newsround website to let us know if you are a spider fan.

:03:52.:03:54.

Now, you know that here on Newsround we're big fans

:03:55.:03:56.

So imagine how excited we got when we discovered two, that have just

:03:57.:04:00.

been born in America, that could rival anything we've covered before.

:04:01.:04:03.

Cute, cuddly, cheetah cubs. Barely one-month-old. They were born at a

:04:04.:04:20.

safari park in San Diego in America three weeks ago. They are being

:04:21.:04:24.

raised by the parks have as their mother is unable to look after them.

:04:25.:04:28.

The way about ?3 each, that is about as heavy as a small bag of sweets

:04:29.:04:32.

and they are growing really quickly. Hard to imagine at this

:04:33.:04:36.

stage that they become adults able be one of the fastest land animals

:04:37.:04:41.

on the planet. That is right, adult teachers can move at speeds up to 60

:04:42.:04:46.

mph in just three seconds. And even though that might be a few years

:04:47.:04:50.

away at the moment, safari staff can already see that the cubs are

:04:51.:04:55.

developing a fast rate. Every baby is different but these cheaters

:04:56.:04:57.

really seem to be developing quickly in our eyes. Our great eaters and

:04:58.:05:02.

they started playing when they were just three or four days old. They

:05:03.:05:07.

can barely walk at that time but it was pretty interesting to see them

:05:08.:05:11.

telling around with one another. The cubs who do not even have names yet

:05:12.:05:15.

being hand fed and are receiving around the clock here at the safari

:05:16.:05:20.

park. What's more, visitors can see the cubs in action for a few hours a

:05:21.:05:23.

day and witnessed them playing together. Something they have been

:05:24.:05:29.

doing since birth. When they first started playing it were just

:05:30.:05:32.

swatting at each other with their pods. At this point they are

:05:33.:05:36.

claiming on top of each other and fighting each other and then they

:05:37.:05:42.

will start playing. Until they grow up to be the fastest things on four

:05:43.:05:46.

legs they will be the cutest things on four legs for a while longer.

:05:47.:05:52.

I could watch those pictures all the! That is all for now. We will be

:05:53.:05:58.

back just before 2pm with more breathtaking footage of people that

:05:59.:06:00.

off bridges in
