Good morning, it's Tuesday, Ayshah here with | 0:00:03 | 0:00:04 | |
the stories you need today. | 0:00:04 | 0:00:07 | |
The robot fair kicking off in China. | 0:00:07 | 0:00:09 | |
And stay tuned for more of these incredibly cute red pandas! | 0:00:09 | 0:00:14 | |
First to the girl who is being turned into a comic hero. | 0:00:25 | 0:00:27 | |
Fed up of not seeing cartoon characters with disabilities, | 0:00:27 | 0:00:29 | |
Emily decided to take action. | 0:00:29 | 0:00:31 | |
Along with ther dad, Dan, they've invented a comic strip | 0:00:31 | 0:00:35 | |
called The Department of Ability and Ricky went to meet them. | 0:00:35 | 0:00:41 | |
Emily is nine years old. | 0:00:41 | 0:00:42 | |
She has a condition called spina bifida which makes it | 0:00:42 | 0:00:45 | |
difficult to move around. | 0:00:45 | 0:00:48 | |
Like loads of young kids, she loves reading, playing guitar, | 0:00:48 | 0:00:53 | |
football, and basketball, and when she's not busy doing all | 0:00:53 | 0:00:58 | |
that, she is also a superhero. | 0:00:58 | 0:01:04 | |
Dad Dan has turned his daughter into a comic book star and it's | 0:01:08 | 0:01:11 | |
in this room where the characters come to life. | 0:01:11 | 0:01:16 | |
There's five characters, and the name of the comic is DOA, | 0:01:20 | 0:01:24 | |
short for Department of Ability. | 0:01:24 | 0:01:27 | |
And we've got our own theme tune. | 0:01:27 | 0:01:29 | |
They're all disabled apart from the creator of them, the person | 0:01:29 | 0:01:34 | |
who joined them all together. | 0:01:34 | 0:01:37 | |
So what kind of superpowers does your character have? | 0:01:37 | 0:01:40 | |
A flying wheelchair, lasers on her wheelchair. | 0:01:40 | 0:01:45 | |
Emily's dad is obsessed with comics. | 0:01:45 | 0:01:47 | |
Some of the characters he's created are based on other | 0:01:47 | 0:01:50 | |
children with disabilities. | 0:01:50 | 0:01:52 | |
Together they make up Team Strong Bones. | 0:01:52 | 0:01:56 | |
The Department of Ability came to life when Emily was born, and at | 0:01:56 | 0:01:59 | |
the time we just started watching television, reading comics, she was | 0:01:59 | 0:02:02 | |
looking for something she could relate to, ie disabled characters. | 0:02:02 | 0:02:05 | |
And when we couldn't find any, I set about designing my own group of | 0:02:05 | 0:02:08 | |
superheroes with disabilities that she could read and actually enjoy. | 0:02:08 | 0:02:14 | |
Some shows I don't really see people in wheelchairs. | 0:02:14 | 0:02:17 | |
And how does that make you feel? | 0:02:17 | 0:02:19 | |
Kind of upset. | 0:02:19 | 0:02:21 | |
The aim of the comic is to remind young people | 0:02:21 | 0:02:23 | |
that anyone can be a superhero. | 0:02:23 | 0:02:26 | |
The charity Strong Bones is publishing the very first issue of | 0:02:26 | 0:02:29 | |
the comic at the start of next year. | 0:02:29 | 0:02:31 | |
Go Super Emily! | 0:02:31 | 0:02:33 | |
Next, scientists in the US say they've | 0:02:37 | 0:02:39 | |
created a genetically modified mosquito, unable to carry malaria. | 0:02:39 | 0:02:42 | |
Malaria is one of the most deadly diseases on Earth | 0:02:42 | 0:02:45 | |
and is passed onto humans through bites from mosquitos like these. | 0:02:45 | 0:02:49 | |
It's a huge problem in countries across Asia, | 0:02:49 | 0:02:51 | |
Africa and South America. | 0:02:51 | 0:02:54 | |
Scientists have added a resistance gene into mosquito's DNA so that | 0:02:54 | 0:02:59 | |
when the insect produces young the new mosquitoes are malaria free. | 0:02:59 | 0:03:03 | |
They hope this plan will eventually wipe out the disease. | 0:03:03 | 0:03:06 | |
So far the results in the lab look good but the malaria-free mosquitoes | 0:03:06 | 0:03:09 | |
haven't been tested in the wild yet. | 0:03:09 | 0:03:13 | |
To football, and in the Champions League Arsenal | 0:03:13 | 0:03:15 | |
need a win this evening to stand any chance of staying in the competion. | 0:03:15 | 0:03:19 | |
They'll have to beat Croatian side Dinamo Zagreb. | 0:03:19 | 0:03:22 | |
And Chelsea are also in action tonight, a victory at Maccabi Tel | 0:03:22 | 0:03:28 | |
Aviv would send them through. | 0:03:28 | 0:03:30 | |
And in the Premier League, Sunderland got | 0:03:30 | 0:03:32 | |
their first away win of the season, beating Crystal Palace 1-0. | 0:03:32 | 0:03:34 | |
Jermain Defoe's late goal moved the team up a place to 3rd | 0:03:34 | 0:03:38 | |
from the bottom. | 0:03:38 | 0:03:40 | |
It's Sam Allardyce's second win in four games | 0:03:40 | 0:03:41 | |
since taking over last month. | 0:03:41 | 0:03:45 | |
A dress worn by Judy Garland in the film of The Wizard of Oz has | 0:03:45 | 0:03:49 | |
sold for $1.56 million, or ?1 million, at an auction in New York. | 0:03:49 | 0:03:53 | |
The blue and white gingham dress, one of 10 thought to have been made | 0:03:53 | 0:03:57 | |
for the actress in her role as Dorothy in the movie, was apparently | 0:03:57 | 0:04:01 | |
a bit sweaty with stains around the neck but that didn't put off the | 0:04:01 | 0:04:04 | |
mysterious buyer whose name hasn't been revealed. | 0:04:04 | 0:04:09 | |
And check out this couple of cuties! | 0:04:09 | 0:04:11 | |
These red pandas have just made their public debut at a zoo | 0:04:11 | 0:04:13 | |
in the US. | 0:04:13 | 0:04:15 | |
The little creatures were born in July in New York, | 0:04:15 | 0:04:17 | |
but haven't been given names yet. | 0:04:17 | 0:04:19 | |
Red pandas look similar to raccoons and have a reddish-brown coat | 0:04:19 | 0:04:23 | |
and a long furry tail, but unlike giant pandas they're not | 0:04:23 | 0:04:26 | |
members of the bear family. | 0:04:26 | 0:04:28 | |
Everyone was excited to see little guys because they're considered to | 0:04:28 | 0:04:31 | |
be very vulnerable in the wild. | 0:04:31 | 0:04:36 | |
The World Robot Conference has just kicked off in Beijing in China. | 0:04:36 | 0:04:39 | |
The three-day event includes an exhibition and | 0:04:39 | 0:04:41 | |
a robot contest for young people. | 0:04:41 | 0:04:43 | |
The conference has drawn hundreds of experts and robot companies, | 0:04:43 | 0:04:47 | |
it's hoped that it will encourage China to make more robots. | 0:04:47 | 0:04:54 | |
That's all from me, Newsround's back right here in about half an hour. | 0:04:54 | 0:04:56 |
