Afternoon all, we're live just after 5 and you're with Newsround.

:00:21.:00:24.

Yes, he's Ore, I'm Nel and here's what you've missed while you've

:00:24.:00:32.

been at school. Drama at sea in this amazing

:00:32.:00:34.

lifeboat rescue. And quieter, greener and comfier.

:00:34.:00:42.

I've been checking out the future of air travel.

:00:42.:00:45.

But before all that, the sad news that's inspired some very positive

:00:45.:00:49.

action. Yes, Claire Squires was taking part in the London Marathon

:00:49.:00:52.

on Sunday when she collapsed. Tragically, she later died. But

:00:52.:00:55.

since her death, people around the UK have donated almost �500,000 to

:00:55.:00:58.

the charity she was running for. And that number's still rising.

:00:58.:01:06.

Here's her story. London holds the world's most

:01:06.:01:09.

famous Marathon - but this year as well as the celebrations from all

:01:09.:01:13.

the people who finished the race, something very sad happened. With

:01:13.:01:18.

just one mile to the finishing line, Claire Squires collapsed and died.

:01:18.:01:21.

Claire, who was 30 and from Leicestershire, was one of more

:01:21.:01:26.

than 37,000 runners who took part in the Marathon. She was fit and

:01:26.:01:28.

healthy and had previously climbed Mount Kilimanjaro to raise money

:01:28.:01:34.

for charity. We still don't know why Claire died. Marathon running

:01:34.:01:38.

is really tough on your body, but it's extremely rare that people die

:01:38.:01:42.

taking part. Before the race, her friends and family had donated �400

:01:42.:01:46.

to the charity she'd chosen - The Samaritans. But since the news came

:01:46.:01:50.

out that she'd died, the money just kept on rolling in. In their

:01:50.:01:56.

thousands. And from many people who'd never even met her. Even

:01:56.:01:59.

celebrities and famous athletes. Her brother-in-law spoke about what

:02:00.:02:09.
:02:10.:02:11.

this has meant to the family. just overwhelming, they just can't

:02:11.:02:15.

believe the generosity of the people and what Claire's actually

:02:15.:02:19.

achieved. Something good has fortunately come out of something

:02:19.:02:25.

bad. The Samaritans say that the tragedy is devastating, but they

:02:25.:02:29.

are stunned and overwhelmed from the response from the public, who

:02:29.:02:34.

have been clearly affected by the charity. It seems that as the

:02:34.:02:38.

amount of money raised gets higher and higher, Claire has been an

:02:38.:02:48.
:02:48.:02:52.

inspiration to thousands of people OK, moving on now and the RSPCA

:02:52.:02:56.

says it's seen a big rise in people being cruel to their pets. Last

:02:56.:02:59.

year, the number of people charged with animal cruelty or neglect went

:02:59.:03:02.

up by nearly a quarter in England and Wales. Dogs, cats and horses

:03:02.:03:05.

are the worst treated. The RSPCA says it's struggling to cope and

:03:05.:03:08.

wants people to think really carefully before they take on an

:03:08.:03:14.

animal as a pet. A lot of people don't ask questions before they get

:03:14.:03:18.

their animal. We found out today who Great

:03:18.:03:21.

Britain's men and women's football teams will play on their way to

:03:21.:03:26.

hopeful Olympic glory this summer. The men have got a tough group. As

:03:26.:03:29.

well as Senegal and the United Arab Emirates, they'll face Uruguay, who

:03:29.:03:32.

are third in the world rankings. Great Britain's women will kick off

:03:32.:03:41.

against New Zealand, then take on But for football fans tonight, all

:03:41.:03:44.

eyes are on the Champions League, because Chelsea are just a game

:03:44.:03:46.

away from the Champions League final. They haven't got that far

:03:46.:03:50.

since Man United beat them four years ago. The Blues go into the

:03:50.:03:53.

second leg of the semis 1-0 up against Barcelona at the Nou Camp.

:03:53.:04:03.
:04:03.:04:03.

Chelsea are the only British side left in Europe. No pressure then!

:04:03.:04:09.

You do need a little bit of luck on your side to be able to win a

:04:09.:04:13.

competition like this. But certainly the squad that we have at

:04:13.:04:22.

Chelsea and the players that we have I think are very good. Best of

:04:22.:04:24.

luck to them. Check out this nail-biting rescue

:04:24.:04:27.

near Portsmouth. Coastguards were called to help two fishermen whose

:04:27.:04:30.

boat had started to sink because of the bad weather. Seconds after

:04:30.:04:34.

everyone was safe, the boat sank. Doesn't get any closer than that!

:04:35.:04:38.

Next, if you're a big fan of flying but aren't a fan of the jetlag or

:04:39.:04:41.

waking up with that sticky dry mouth, we've got the aircraft for

:04:42.:04:44.

you. Today, touching down in Manchester was one of air travel's

:04:44.:04:46.

newest models that promises a much smoother and environmentally

:04:47.:04:50.

friendly ride. I hopped aboard the plane that could change the way we

:04:50.:05:00.
:05:00.:05:06.

fly forever. This is the Boeing 787 Dreamliner. It might look like a

:05:06.:05:11.

normal plane but its design is radically different. This is carbon

:05:11.:05:17.

fibre, the same material used to make Formula One cars which we see

:05:17.:05:23.

Lewis Hamilton and Jenson Button Traditionally planes made of albin

:05:23.:05:28.

yum but this plane is made of something much lighter. That means

:05:28.:05:32.

it uses less fuel and it is therefore much more environmentally

:05:32.:05:38.

friendly. But wait until you see the inside. Welcome aboard the 787

:05:38.:05:42.

Boeing Dreamliner. As you can see, it looks like a regular plane on

:05:42.:05:46.

the inside. It smells like a regular plane. But there are

:05:46.:05:51.

differences. The very creative mood lighting means they can reflect

:05:51.:05:56.

what time of day it is. That can help jet lag. There is more

:05:56.:06:01.

moisture in the air, so you don't get dehide rate. And the windows

:06:01.:06:06.

are massive. Our man in the know is Nico is. This the plane that's

:06:06.:06:12.

going to change the way we see aviation? Yes, definitely. The 787

:06:12.:06:17.

is a game-changing aeroplane. Carbon fibre is much stronger than

:06:17.:06:24.

any other material used in aviation, so the aeroplane is very safe but a

:06:24.:06:28.

much better-performing aeroplane. Unlike the normal planes, these

:06:28.:06:33.

planes don't have shutters. You can adjust the shade of the window

:06:33.:06:37.

yourself. So if you are in a really tired mood you can let the window

:06:37.:06:47.
:06:47.:06:48.

I could have stayed there all day. And from one amazing mode of

:06:48.:06:51.

transport to another. Five years ago, the Cutty Sark was almost

:06:51.:06:54.

destroyed by a massive fire. But after �50 million and lots of hard

:06:54.:06:58.

work, the 19th century cargo ship is ready to reopen to the public.

:06:58.:07:01.

The Queen and the Duke Of Edinburgh will do the honours in Greenwich in

:07:01.:07:10.

southeast London tomorrow. She's been around Cape Horn many times.

:07:10.:07:14.

She's been demasted, lots her Rudders. There have been lives lost

:07:14.:07:20.

on this ship but she's come through everything. She is an icon of world

:07:20.:07:23.

heritage. How about this beauty? Tyson has

:07:23.:07:26.

just been crowned top dog in a beautiful bulldog contest. But it

:07:26.:07:30.

wasn't a walk in the park for our Tyson. He was up against some stiff

:07:30.:07:34.

competition. 50 gorgeous doggies made it through to the final,

:07:34.:07:36.

including Rocket Man, Matilda Rose and my personal favourite, Chief

:07:36.:07:43.

McBeef. Head over to our website right now
