0:00:09 > 0:00:12Hi, I'm Ricky and this is Newsround live on CBBC.

0:00:12 > 0:00:14Coming up...

0:00:14 > 0:00:17The new arm helping this girl make music.

0:00:17 > 0:00:20The 101-year-old athlete winning big.

0:00:20 > 0:00:30And could this flying car be the new way to get around?

0:00:32 > 0:00:37But first, do your parents spend too much time on one of these,

0:00:37 > 0:00:38their phones?

0:00:38 > 0:00:40A big survey suggests that some children are worried

0:00:40 > 0:00:42about the amount of time mums and dads spend

0:00:42 > 0:00:44checking their phones.

0:00:44 > 0:00:46More than a third of 11-18-year-olds said they asked

0:00:46 > 0:00:50their parents to limit their time on their phones.

0:00:50 > 0:00:53A small number of kids said their parents' addiction to tech

0:00:53 > 0:00:57stopped the family from enjoying each other's company.

0:00:57 > 0:00:59And we want to know what you think.

0:00:59 > 0:01:01Do your parents spend too much time on their phones,

0:01:01 > 0:01:03or do they say that you do?

0:01:03 > 0:01:06Go online now to have your say.

0:01:06 > 0:01:10Next, quite a lot of you guys love the sound of the end of school bell

0:01:10 > 0:01:12but for many primary school children living in China's capital Beijing,

0:01:12 > 0:01:14hometime is only the start of the day.

0:01:14 > 0:01:15Here's why!

0:01:15 > 0:01:18SCHOOL BELL RINGS.

0:01:18 > 0:01:20That sound in the afternoon usually means it's time

0:01:20 > 0:01:23to go home from school.

0:01:23 > 0:01:26Well, yes, for most of us in the UK.

0:01:26 > 0:01:28But if we cross over 6,500 miles to Beijing in China,

0:01:28 > 0:01:31that sound can sometimes mean more learning.

0:01:31 > 0:01:36You may have heard of or even seen one of these before.

0:01:36 > 0:01:38It's called the abacus,

0:01:38 > 0:01:40which was used before your parents were even born

0:01:40 > 0:01:44to learn how to count.

0:01:44 > 0:01:46Basically, it's a very old-fashioned calculator

0:01:46 > 0:01:48that uses beads to count big sums,

0:01:48 > 0:01:53and it's one of the things the students here are using to learn.

0:01:53 > 0:01:55What I'm about to say may shock some of you,

0:01:55 > 0:01:58but the pupils here are sometimes volunteering to stay

0:01:58 > 0:02:06for after school lessons for up to 12 extra hours a week!

0:02:06 > 0:02:08TRANSLATION: I have Tuesday and Sunday off.

0:02:08 > 0:02:10I do English, painting, abacus and lots of others.

0:02:10 > 0:02:17On Sunday, it's my favourite, robot class.

0:02:17 > 0:02:20Many people here think that if they don't take up extra classes,

0:02:20 > 0:02:22they will fall behind their mates.

0:02:22 > 0:02:24Their grades are improving because of it, so it's pretty hard

0:02:24 > 0:02:31to see it as a bad thing.

0:02:31 > 0:02:34But the question is, guys, would you want to give up your spare

0:02:34 > 0:02:40time to learn more things like the abacus?

0:02:40 > 0:02:41Now to a ten-year-old girl

0:02:41 > 0:02:44from America who has just received an important gift that

0:02:44 > 0:02:46has changed her life.

0:02:46 > 0:02:48Meet Isabel, and check out her brand-new prosthetic arm.

0:02:48 > 0:02:51It was 3-D printed just for her so she could play the violin

0:02:51 > 0:02:53after signing up to a music class at school.

0:02:53 > 0:02:56Isabel was born with an incomplete left arm, which makes playing

0:02:56 > 0:02:57the violin difficult.

0:02:57 > 0:03:05But that did not stop her.

0:03:05 > 0:03:07My mom's phrase is when you say "I can't do it",

0:03:07 > 0:03:09it's "I can't do it YET".

0:03:09 > 0:03:11Her music teacher fashioned a makeshift prosthetic arm

0:03:11 > 0:03:13to hold her bow, then called his university

0:03:13 > 0:03:16to help out.

0:03:16 > 0:03:19A team of five students designed a pretty blingy arm for her,

0:03:19 > 0:03:21and now Isabel's new arm allows her to hold and

0:03:21 > 0:03:22move the bow properly.

0:03:22 > 0:03:24I have to say thank you to them,

0:03:24 > 0:03:26because without them I couldn't really be able to play.

0:03:26 > 0:03:31They also made a grip

0:03:31 > 0:03:34so that she can ride a bike with both arms.

0:03:34 > 0:03:35Since the university students designed Isabel's arm,

0:03:35 > 0:03:41they've been getting even more requests.

0:03:41 > 0:03:43So thanks to Isabel, other people can now benefit

0:03:43 > 0:03:49from a new 3-D printed arm.

0:03:49 > 0:03:51Next up, the Olympics has nothing on this next sporting event.

0:03:51 > 0:03:53The World Masters Games in New Zealand features

0:03:53 > 0:03:58some of the oldest sportsmen and women in the world.

0:03:58 > 0:04:01Man Kaur here from India is 101 years old and she won gold

0:04:01 > 0:04:04in the 100 metres sprint, her time, one minute, 14 seconds!

0:04:04 > 0:04:06She was guaranteed a medal because she was the only runner

0:04:06 > 0:04:13in the over 100 category.

0:04:13 > 0:04:16Next, the candy house causing a bit of trouble in London.

0:04:16 > 0:04:18A woman who decorated her multi-million pound house with red

0:04:18 > 0:04:21and white stripes has been told she doesn't have to change it.

0:04:21 > 0:04:23The local council had said the design didn't fit

0:04:23 > 0:04:27in with the look of the area and ordered her to repaint it white.

0:04:27 > 0:04:35But a court has now allowed it to stay.

0:04:35 > 0:04:39Now, how do you fancy getting a lift to school on one of these?

0:04:39 > 0:04:41This is the view from a new "personal flying machine"

0:04:41 > 0:04:44which can reach speeds up to 25 miles an hour.

0:04:44 > 0:04:47It's powered by eight rotor blades, and like a helicopter, it can take

0:04:47 > 0:04:47off and land vertically.

0:04:47 > 0:04:50The company behind "the Flyer" hope to have it on sale

0:04:50 > 0:04:55by the end of the year.

0:04:55 > 0:04:55That's all from me.

0:04:55 > 0:05:01Newsround's back right here in about half an hour.

0:05:07 > 0:05:10Whoo! The Dumping Ground - I'm Finn is only moments away.

0:05:10 > 0:05:14First, we're celebrating the biggest and bestest CBBC shows that
