Hi there, check your watches. I make it just past five. Sonali and | :00:17. | :00:22. | |
Ore here live - you're watching Newsround. We've got all the day's | :00:22. | :00:24. | |
top stories for you, including... The bionic fingers that are | :00:24. | :00:31. | |
transforming one girl's life. Plus the prince's trek - a brand | :00:31. | :00:37. | |
new film of Prince Harry's arctic But before all of that, explosions | :00:37. | :00:43. | |
and gunfire are still rocking the capital of Libya. Yesterday it | :00:43. | :00:46. | |
looked like Colonel Gaddafi was about to be kicked out after 40 | :00:46. | :00:50. | |
years in charge of the North African country. Rebels have been | :00:50. | :00:54. | |
fighting his men for six months and many had begun to celebrate. But | :00:54. | :00:57. | |
today, there's been more fierce fighting in Tripoli. The BBC's | :00:57. | :01:07. | |
| :01:07. | :01:07. | ||
Matthew Price had to hide in a basement to escape the violence. | :01:07. | :01:11. | |
There are now sustained bursts of gunfire. It is still some distance | :01:11. | :01:16. | |
away, but it is clear that there is still fighting continuing on the | :01:16. | :01:22. | |
ground. Impossible to say whether it is pro-Gaddafi forces pushing | :01:22. | :01:26. | |
back rebel forces or vice versa. So what's changed over the past 24 | :01:26. | :01:30. | |
hours? Well yesterday, the rebels said they'd arrested one of Colonel | :01:30. | :01:33. | |
Gaddaffi's sons. But here he is, travelling around Tripoli, clearly | :01:33. | :01:38. | |
not under arrest - and insisting his family will never surrender. | :01:38. | :01:41. | |
The rebels say they've surrounded Colonel Gaddafi's base - but no-one | :01:41. | :01:45. | |
knows if he's even inside. Right now, it looks like the rebels will | :01:45. | :01:49. | |
have to be prepared for another long fight. So that's the very | :01:49. | :01:54. | |
latest - and it's a very confusing and chaotic time over there. But if | :01:54. | :01:58. | |
you want to learn more about what's going on in Libya, head over to the | :01:58. | :02:04. | |
Newsround website - it's got Next, a 15-year-old schoolgirl with | :02:04. | :02:08. | |
a pretty amazing new gadget. And we're not talking an MP3 player or | :02:08. | :02:12. | |
the latest games console. This one is far more impressive - she's | :02:12. | :02:14. | |
become the youngest person in Europe to be fitted with bionic | :02:14. | :02:18. | |
fingers. I didn't think it would move the | :02:18. | :02:23. | |
way it does and that I would have such good use out of it. Simple | :02:23. | :02:26. | |
things like writing or using a knife and fork used to be pretty | :02:26. | :02:34. | |
hard for Chloe. Not any more. are some sensors inside, but I | :02:34. | :02:40. | |
don't really know how it works. Chloe lost her fingers as a child | :02:40. | :02:45. | |
after she was really ill. Up until a few weeks ago she had to make do | :02:45. | :02:55. | |
| :02:55. | :02:57. | ||
with this rubber hand. It didn't move and it was really frustrating. | :02:57. | :03:01. | |
People used to stare when I was walking down the corridor and shout | :03:01. | :03:03. | |
out things. Fortunately, technology is getting | :03:03. | :03:07. | |
better and better. Last year we told you about Patrick, who became | :03:07. | :03:12. | |
the youngest person in the world to get a bionic arm. Scientists are | :03:12. | :03:15. | |
creating robotic limbs that are more and more like the real thing. | :03:16. | :03:19. | |
The trouble is that these gadgets don't come cheap. Chloe's family | :03:19. | :03:28. | |
paid �38,000 for her new hand. is amazing what she can do with it. | :03:28. | :03:32. | |
We would go out as a family and people would stare for the wrong | :03:32. | :03:38. | |
reasons, but they stare now in amazement. With the summer holidays | :03:38. | :03:41. | |
nearly at an end, there's just enough time for Chloe to practice | :03:41. | :03:44. | |
her new moves before she goes back to school. I think there will be | :03:44. | :03:48. | |
staring but I don't care because I really like it. Great stuff, Chloe. | :03:48. | :03:51. | |
And if you want more inspiring stories, then you're in the right | :03:51. | :03:55. | |
place. Earlier this year, Prince Harry joined a group of wounded | :03:55. | :03:58. | |
servicemen. Their mission? To trek to the North Pole. And tonight, we | :03:58. | :04:03. | |
get to see their full story. The men were all seriously injured | :04:03. | :04:05. | |
fighting in Afghanistan. But they managed to endure temperatures of | :04:05. | :04:09. | |
minus 45 degrees, sleep on ice and drag a 100kg sledge with them the | :04:09. | :04:13. | |
whole way. The task took weeks, and the men are hoping to raise more | :04:14. | :04:22. | |
than �2 million to help other injured servicemen. Everyone's | :04:22. | :04:26. | |
helping everybody, it's the only way to do it. I'm standing on a | :04:27. | :04:34. | |
floating ocean. It is quite hard, we're not making a lot of ground. | :04:34. | :04:41. | |
This is really cold. This place is Let's catch up with some of the | :04:41. | :04:44. | |
kids affected by Japan's massive earthquake and tsunami now. It's | :04:44. | :04:47. | |
almost six months since the disaster, which was made even worse | :04:47. | :04:50. | |
by explosions at a nuclear power plant. Now children there are | :04:50. | :04:59. | |
asking for more to be done to make Total devastation - as the tsunami | :04:59. | :05:04. | |
hit land, it swallowed up whole towns, killing thousands of people. | :05:04. | :05:06. | |
The waves slammed into the Fukushima nuclear plant. As | :05:06. | :05:09. | |
potentially deadly radiation leaked out, around 100,000 people were | :05:09. | :05:14. | |
forced from their homes. Life is still not back to normal - and | :05:14. | :05:18. | |
being a child there has been tough. In some areas, it's still not safe | :05:18. | :05:21. | |
to play outside, so kids have to spend lots of the time stuck | :05:21. | :05:30. | |
indoors. Lots of children have written to the government, they | :05:30. | :05:33. | |
want more help. For kids in Fukushima, you can't | :05:33. | :05:37. | |
play outside due to the radiation, so you get into fights with friends. | :05:37. | :05:47. | |
| :05:47. | :05:48. | ||
We just want to tell them how this is affecting us negatively. | :05:48. | :05:50. | |
Radiation experts have been trying to get schools cleaned up again, | :05:50. | :05:54. | |
ready for pupils to start the new term in a few weeks' time. They're | :05:54. | :05:56. | |
spraying down buildings, re-filling swimming pools and even digging up | :05:56. | :06:00. | |
playgrounds that might have poisons in the soil. But it will still be a | :06:00. | :06:04. | |
long time until the area gets the all-clear. | :06:05. | :06:08. | |
Today has been a sad day for Arsenal football fans, as a star | :06:08. | :06:10. | |
midfielder has waved goodbye to the Gunners, and said hello, Manchester | :06:11. | :06:16. | |
City for about �24 million. Go on, say goodbye. Yes, au revoir, Samir | :06:16. | :06:20. | |
Nasri, who is on his way to Manchester for a medical and to | :06:20. | :06:22. | |
finalise the deal. The Frenchman was one of Arsenal's best players | :06:22. | :06:26. | |
last season, but for ages it's looked like he would be part of | :06:26. | :06:28. | |
Manchester City's big summer spending spree. Now he's just got | :06:28. | :06:38. | |
| :06:38. | :06:39. | ||
Since Saturday night, there's been lots of chat about whether the new | :06:39. | :06:44. | |
X Factor judges were any good. More than 10 million people tuned in to | :06:44. | :06:48. | |
see how Gary, Kelly, Tulisa and old boy Louis would get on. But how do | :06:48. | :06:52. | |
they think they did? Ricky grabbed a quick word with the N-Dubz girl | :06:52. | :06:59. | |
herself. I knew I was going to enjoy it, but | :06:59. | :07:04. | |
I'm surprised at how passionate I have become about it. Did your foam | :07:04. | :07:08. | |
blow up at the weekend, I bet your mum and dad and everybody is really | :07:08. | :07:13. | |
excited for you. I was at the V- Festival, on the tour bus, and my | :07:13. | :07:20. | |
battery died. Thank God, because I did not have to go through all of | :07:20. | :07:24. | |
the messages. Two days later, I turned on my phone. And it was | :07:24. | :07:30. | |
We'll just finish up with one teenager who probably won't ever | :07:30. | :07:33. | |
have to audition in front of Tulisa or anyone on X Factor. Why? Because | :07:33. | :07:37. | |
he's just won a part in the hit US show Glee. Damian McGinty from | :07:37. | :07:39. | |
Londonderry in Northern Ireland was chosen from 40,000 hopefuls who | :07:39. | :07:42. | |
entered the reality TV show The Glee Project. He will now get to | :07:42. | :07:49. | |
appear in seven episodes of the third series. I think he's excited. | :07:49. | :07:52. | |
That's it. If you have ever wondered what it looks like inside | :07:52. | :07:55. |
