It's Sunday afternoon, Ayshah here with the top stories you need to

:00:00.:00:08.

know. Coming up: we bring you one of the most extreme sports I've ever

:00:09.:00:12.

seen - Downhill Ice Cross! And a baby gorilla makes a

:00:13.:00:15.

remarkable recovery, after a tough start to life.

:00:16.:00:23.

First though, to the search for the Malaysia Airlines plane which lost

:00:24.:00:27.

all contact over two weeks ago. More and more countries are getting

:00:28.:00:31.

involved in the effort to try to find any sign of the aircraft.

:00:32.:00:42.

Satellite images have shown what appears to be debris floating in the

:00:43.:00:46.

sea, but so far no actual sighting has been confirmed. It's important

:00:47.:00:49.

to stress that a plane going missing is extremely rare. But why is the

:00:50.:00:53.

search proving to be so difficult? I've been looking at the huge

:00:54.:00:55.

challenges facing the investigation. Flying low over the South Indian

:00:56.:00:59.

Ocean, all eyes are on the water... The search has been focused here for

:01:00.:01:02.

the past four days. Satellite images showing objects in the water have

:01:03.:01:05.

made investigators think this might be the area where they will find the

:01:06.:01:08.

plane. We have eight planes in the area.

:01:09.:01:11.

Some from Australia and New Zealand and the United States. Visibility is

:01:12.:01:16.

key. The Australians are saying they are relying increasingly less on

:01:17.:01:19.

radar and simply looking out of the planes and scanning the vast ocean.

:01:20.:01:31.

But searching this vast area of ocean isn't easy. The search point

:01:32.:01:42.

is over 1500 miles off the coast of Western Australia. It means planes

:01:43.:01:45.

setting off from Perth have around a five hour journey just to get there

:01:46.:01:49.

- meaning they only have enough fuel to search for two hours before they

:01:50.:01:53.

need to turn back. The weather has also been a problem - rough seas,

:01:54.:01:57.

storms and strong winds are common in the area. To help the search,

:01:58.:02:00.

ships from America, Britain and China are on their way now too. It's

:02:01.:02:04.

not known if the objects in the satellite pictures are from the

:02:05.:02:07.

plane but they're the best clues investigators have so far.

:02:08.:02:11.

And just a reminder that If you're worried or upset about anything you

:02:12.:02:14.

see on the news, there's help and advice on our website.

:02:15.:02:21.

Next up, if you've ever got your homework back with red pen pointing

:02:22.:02:25.

out spelling mistakes, you might like the idea of this...

:02:26.:02:27.

A pen has been invented which vibrates when you spell something

:02:28.:02:31.

wrong. It uses a mechanism inside to work out what is being written. It's

:02:32.:02:34.

connected to an app that flashes to let you know when you've gone wrong.

:02:35.:02:39.

The pen uses normal ink refills but it does not need ink. Because there

:02:40.:02:42.

are no sensors here, it does not need special paper. It does not need

:02:43.:02:47.

paper at all. It will work in thin air.

:02:48.:02:56.

Sport now: England cricket captain Stuart Broad has said his players

:02:57.:03:04.

were put in danger when the umpires decided to play on during a

:03:05.:03:07.

thunderstorm. It was in England's first match of the World Twenty20

:03:08.:03:10.

cricket tournament, which ended in defeat. As their opponents New

:03:11.:03:13.

Zealand batted, huge flashes of lightning were seen in the night

:03:14.:03:16.

sky. The match was eventually called off, but because New Zealand scored

:03:17.:03:19.

their runs at a faster rate, England lost and are bottom of their group.

:03:20.:03:23.

Captain Broad says that safety should always come first.

:03:24.:03:29.

The health and safety of players and the crowd is very important. That

:03:30.:03:33.

seemed like threatening lightning to me. It does not change what we have

:03:34.:03:41.

to do as a team. We can take some good things from today. We must win

:03:42.:03:48.

our next games. Next: a sneak preview to hear from

:03:49.:03:52.

one of Team GB's newest stars. After becoming Britain's youngest Winter

:03:53.:03:55.

Paralympian and flying the flag for Team GB in Sochi, Millie Knight is

:03:56.:03:59.

back at school and caught up with Nel to tell her all about the

:04:00.:04:02.

experience. You can see the full report tomorrow morning but here's a

:04:03.:04:11.

clip from the interview. You were the flag bearer for Team GB. What

:04:12.:04:17.

was it like? I walked out and the crowd were

:04:18.:04:25.

roaring. It was amazing. To come top five was incredible. I was almost

:04:26.:04:33.

crying. I just thought while. And if the Winter Olympics and

:04:34.:04:37.

Paralympics all feels a bit like a distant memory, then I've got a real

:04:38.:04:40.

treat for you right now. This is the Ice Cross downhill world

:04:41.:04:44.

championship - one of the most extreme things I've ever seen. It's

:04:45.:04:49.

just been held in Quebec in Canada in front of crowds of over 100,000

:04:50.:04:57.

people. The icy course runs through the streets of the city and includes

:04:58.:05:01.

sharp turns, steep slopes and even sheer vertical drops. It was won by

:05:02.:05:07.

Austrian Marco Dallago. Last up, a baby gorilla, whose birth

:05:08.:05:11.

we featured on Newsround just over a week ago, has shown great

:05:12.:05:13.

improvement after suffering from pneumonia. The baby girl was born at

:05:14.:05:17.

a zoo in America by a rare animal caesarean section, as her mum was

:05:18.:05:20.

having trouble giving birth. She's still not been given a name yet, but

:05:21.:05:24.

her keepers at San Diego zoo are happy that she's well enough to come

:05:25.:05:34.

home from the hospital. It is a very exciting day. We feel

:05:35.:05:39.

confident about the baby's health. We brought her back. This is the

:05:40.:05:48.

first time the other animals have seen her.

:05:49.:05:52.

That is it from me but Ricky will be back tomorrow with that Millie

:05:53.:05:55.

Knight interview and all the day's top stories.

:05:56.:05:57.

Have a great day.
