Good afternoon.

0:00:130:00:14

First, to an accidental discovery by a 10-year-old,

0:00:140:00:16

of a million year old fossil.

0:00:160:00:17

Take a look this - it's incredible.

0:00:170:00:22

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

0:00:220:00:25

bike ride.

0:00:250:00:28

So far, so ordinary. Right?

0:00:280:00:30

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

0:00:300:00:34

I tripped on a tusk.

0:00:340:00:36

You tripped on a what?

0:00:360:00:37

On a tusk.

0:00:370:00:38

A tusk?

0:00:380:00:39

My face landed next to the bottom jaw.

0:00:390:00:41

I looked further up, and I saw another task.

0:00:410:00:41

I looked further up, and I saw another tusk.

0:00:430:00:45

OK, we should explain.

0:00:450:00:49

The thing that Jude had tripped over it really was a tusk,

0:00:490:00:52

from an ancient fossil buried in the ground.

0:00:520:00:55

It is from a creature 1.2 million years old,

0:00:550:00:57

called a stegomastodon.

0:00:570:00:59

Stegomastodons were from the same family as elephants and mammoths.

0:00:590:01:02

They would have roamed parts of the US up until

0:01:020:01:04

11,700 years ago.

0:01:040:01:07

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

0:01:070:01:09

project to get the fossil out safely.

0:01:090:01:14

Peter Houde from New Mexico State University led the team.

0:01:140:01:16

So, how big a deal is the discovery?

0:01:160:01:19

The fossil is probably about 1.2 million years old.

0:01:190:01:25

This may be only the second that was found in New Mexico.

0:01:250:01:29

Great work, Jude!

0:01:290:01:31

Now, Mo Farrah might be one of the fastest men on the planet,

0:01:310:01:34

but now a dad of two claims to have broken one of his world records.

0:01:340:01:38

Sir Mo set the record for the 100-metre sack race

0:01:380:01:42

back in 2014 with a time of 39.91 seconds.

0:01:420:01:47

But yesterday, Stephen Wildish did it in 28 seconds,

0:01:470:01:49

smashing Mo's time.

0:01:490:01:52

He's now waiting for it to be officially confirmed so

0:01:520:01:54

he can claim his new world record.

0:01:540:01:59

Next, another incredible acheivement - a cat who went

0:01:590:02:01

on an extraordinary three-month trek, by accident.

0:02:010:02:04

Here's Ayshah.

0:02:040:02:10

Hey, Whiskers.

0:02:100:02:11

He looks happy now in the arms of his owner, but this

0:02:110:02:14

is what happened three months ago.

0:02:140:02:15

He was on a trip in the Australian outback with his owners,

0:02:150:02:19

a thousand kilometres away from home.

0:02:190:02:22

But the caravan they were in broke down- and they were stuck for hours.

0:02:220:02:27

And Whiskers escaped for a walk in the middle of the night.

0:02:270:02:33

In the morning, his owners couldn't find him.

0:02:330:02:34

They searched all day, but then eventually had to leave.

0:02:340:02:40

Three months later the owners got an unexpected phone call.

0:02:400:02:46

Whiskers was found!

0:02:460:02:52

He'd been taken to a vet, who scanned a microchip which said

0:02:520:02:55

who he belonged to.

0:02:550:02:56

Now he's been reunited with his owners.

0:02:560:02:59

It might be a while before he's allowed out on another trip.

0:02:590:03:05

Next to football, with a bit of a twist.

0:03:050:03:07

The rules, the pitch and the teams are the same,

0:03:070:03:10

but there's one big difference.

0:03:100:03:13

The BBC's Mike Bushell has this one.

0:03:130:03:17

Well, we're all dressed up, our face paint's on, some more than

0:03:260:03:29

others, admittedly, and all ready for kick-off, but at the moment,

0:03:290:03:34

but at the moment, it seems just like an ordinary six-a-side game.

0:03:340:03:37

All that changes, though, with a flick of a switch.

0:03:370:03:39

WHISTLE BLASTS.

0:03:390:03:44

It all started with glow badminton and glow squash,

0:03:480:03:51

and then about two years ago, glow football started up, and has

0:03:510:03:55

since spread right across the North and other parts of the country, too.

0:03:550:03:59

I think it is just the combination of the three

0:03:590:04:01

factors, playing football with your friends,

0:04:010:04:03

the lights are off, face paint on, headbands on,

0:04:030:04:05

the music is on, just a real party scene.

0:04:050:04:08

It is part of a wider push by the UV sports organisation,

0:04:080:04:11

Glow Active UK, which has helped start leagues at dozens of clubs.

0:04:110:04:15

The girls can really show themselves with the way that they put their

0:04:150:04:18

face paint on.

0:04:180:04:19

They can show their personality that way.

0:04:190:04:21

Oh, it's a save!

0:04:210:04:22

So it stays level.

0:04:220:04:24

The game is finely poised, the opposition are

0:04:240:04:27

making a substitution.

0:04:270:04:30

And what a substitution it was!

0:04:300:04:37

Tackled, we've lost.

0:04:400:04:43

That super sub made all the difference, as the lights go on,

0:04:430:04:47

and all our face paints have run.

0:04:470:04:48

But it is not a surprise who made the difference.

0:04:480:04:51

94 caps for England, Sue Smith, her first experience of

0:04:510:04:53

glow football.

0:04:530:04:54

How was it for you, Sue?

0:04:540:04:56

I absolutely loved it!

0:04:560:04:57

It was so much fun.

0:04:570:04:58

Because the lights are out, I think it is great for some of the

0:04:580:05:01

young girls and boys that don't have confidence.

0:05:010:05:03

So I think, if you make a mistake, you don't know who has

0:05:030:05:06

done that mistake, so it would probably have

0:05:060:05:08

been quite good for me.

0:05:080:05:09

And me, I hope, when I managed to score an own goal.

0:05:090:05:13

But it could have been anyone, as you hide behind

0:05:130:05:15

your UV paint, which certainly makes for some interesting team.

0:05:150:05:16

your UV paint, which certainly makes for some interesting team photos.

0:05:210:05:26

And finally, happy birthday to Prince George!

0:05:260:05:29

Its his fourth birthday today, and to celebrate, the Royal Family

0:05:290:05:32

have released this special photo.

0:05:320:05:36

His mum and dad, the Duke and Duchess of Cambridge,

0:05:360:05:38

say they are delighted with the photo.

0:05:380:05:41

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

0:05:410:05:45

Have a great day, George!

0:05:450:05:51

That's all from me.

0:05:510:05:52

Newsround's back right here tomorrow morning with the Pitch Battle final

0:05:520:05:54
