The un-manned cargo ship, called a space X, rocketed away from earth | :00:27. | :00:32. | |

Ellie Simmonds and Ollie Hynd are no strangers to strong competition, so | :01:08. | :01:10. | |

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. | |

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 | :06:01. | :06:01. |
