Hello there, news fans.

I've got your top stories for your live lunchtime update.

Coming up...

The dad who's faster than Mo Farah!

And what's this all about?

First to the Para-Athletics Championships today where

Kadeena Cox has taken Britain's 14th gold.

Kadeena won the T38 400 metres easily, and was six seconds ahead

of everyone else in the race.

She already holds the world record for the event and they'll be another

chance for a medal when she competes again later today.

I was confident for 300 metres.

I've been hitting 300 metres which is good,

but I knew I just didn't have the strength for that last 100.

I've not been on the bike, the bike is where I get

a lot of my strength from and, like I've said, I've

not put in the work.

Another speed demon now - Usain Bolt has ran his

fastest time this year.

He won the 100 metres in 9.95 seconds in the

Diamond League in Monaco.

It's the first time Bolt has ran under ten seconds this season.

Now, Mo Farah may be one of our most decorated Olympians

but now a graphic designer from Swindon claims to have broken

one of his world records.

Sir Mo set the record for the 100 metre sack race in 2014

with a time of 39.91 seconds.

But yesterday, dad of two Stephen Wildish took

on the challenge and hopped over the line in just over 28 seconds

- look at him go! - smashing Mo's attempt.

He's now waiting for his time to be officially verified in order

to claim his new world record.

Well

Well done.

Now, what's the most exciting thing you've ever found on a family walk?

Well, 10-year-old Jude from America stumbled on something

pretty extraordinary.

He's been telling us about it.

Back in November of last year, me and my family decided to go on a

bike ride.

So far, so ordinary, right?

I went to go hide up in a canal and when I was running up the

canal, I tripped on a tusk.

You tripped on what?!

On a tusk.

A tusk?

My face landed next to the bottom jaw.

I looked further up when I saw another tusk.

OK, we should explain.

The thing that Jude had tripped over really was a tusk from an ancient

fossil buried in the ground.

It's from a creature 1.2 million years old called a stegomastodon.

Stegomastodons were from the same family as elephants and mammoths.

They would have roamed parts of the US up until 11,700 years ago.

So, Jude called in the experts and they started a big project

to get the fossil out safely.

Peter Houde from New Mexico State University led the team.

So how big a deal is the discovery?

The fossil is probably about 1.2 million years old.

This may be the only,

only the second that was found in New Mexico.

Great work, Jude!

Next, to something you DON'T want to discover -

we're talking head lice.

But could your phone be giving you them?

Some scientists say watching videos with your friends on your phone

means your heads are touching a lot which increases your

chances of getting them.

But what exactly are they?

This is a head louse and this is a nit, which is an egg.

Don't worry, they're nothing to be embarrassed about.

Ah, that's better.

I know, your whole body just started to feel

a little bit itchy, didn't it?

Many people get head lice or nits.

They're passed on by head-to-head contact and it's got nothing to do

with having dirty hair.

Other licey myths include...

Lice can jump.

That is not true.

They're not that athletic and the best they can

manage is a crawl.

Look at this guy go!

Lice prefer long hair.

Wrong.

Lice don't like sunlight so they hide close to

the scalp and that's the same whether your

hair is long or short.

Some people say lice come from animals.

That isn't true either.

They only live on humans, no one knows where they came from but

they've been around as far back as the Egyptians.

Still feeling a bit itchy?

Oh!

Whoa!

I'm itching now!

Next, new plans have been announced to make flying drones safer.

The UK Government wants owners to register their drones and take

safety tests before flying them.

"No fly" zones are also planned - stopping people from flying drones

in places where they are dangerous - like near airports.

The aim is to keep the public safe from the flying objects.

And happy birthday to Prince George!

It's his fourth birthday today and to celebrate the royal family

have released this special photo.

His mum and dad, the Duke and Duchess of Cambridge

say they are delighted with the photo.

The family are on a tour of Poland and Germany at the moment.

Have a great day, George!

Next to football - with a bit of a twist.

The rules are the same, players are the same

and the pitch is the same - but it's all in the dark.

And there's music.

The whole point is to have plenty of fun and,

England International Sue Smith, seemed to enjoy it.

I loved it, it was so much fun and because the lights are out,

I think it's great for maybe some of the young boys and girls that

don't have confidence.

So I think if you make a mistake, you don;t know who's done that

mistake so it probably would've been quite good for me!

Staying with football and the Australian team

are being put through their paces ahead of the World Cup next week.

We're talking about the robot World Cup of course,

held in Nagoya, in Japan.

The robo-footy competition is celebrating its 20th

anniversary this year, and Australia is a key contender -

they've taken the trophy five times.

Should be an electrifying tournament!

That's all from me, Newsround's back right

here in a couple of hours - catch you then!

Bye.
