Hi, I'm Ricky and this is Newsround live on CBBC.

0:00:030:00:07

Coming up...

0:00:070:00:08

The new arm helping this girl make music.

0:00:080:00:10

The 101-year-old athlete winning big.

0:00:100:00:15

And could this flying car be the new way to get around?

0:00:150:00:25

But first, do your parents spend too much time on one of these,

0:00:290:00:32

their phones?

0:00:320:00:33

A big survey suggests that some children are worried

0:00:330:00:35

about the amount of time mums and dads spend

0:00:350:00:37

checking their phones.

0:00:370:00:40

More than a third of 11-18-year-olds said they asked

0:00:400:00:43

their parents to limit their time on their phones.

0:00:430:00:44

A small number of kids said their parents' addiction to tech

0:00:440:00:50

stopped the family from enjoying each other's company.

0:00:500:00:51

Well, you've been having your say at Newsround online.

0:00:510:01:01

Thanks for all of those comments and if you haven't already got

0:01:180:01:21

in touch on this one, don't worry, it's not too late.

0:01:210:01:23

Go online now to have your say.

0:01:230:01:25

Now to a ten-year-old girl

0:01:250:01:26

from America who has just received an important gift that

0:01:260:01:29

has changed her life.

0:01:290:01:30

Meet Isabel, and check out her brand-new prosthetic arm.

0:01:300:01:36

It was 3-D printed just for her so she could play the violin

0:01:360:01:39

after signing up to a music class at school.

0:01:390:01:43

Isabel was born with an incomplete left arm, which makes playing

0:01:430:01:45

the violin difficult.

0:01:450:01:48

But that did not stop her.

0:01:480:01:49

My mom's phrase is when you say "I can't do it",

0:01:490:01:52

it's "I can't do it YET".

0:01:520:01:54

Her music teacher fashioned a makeshift prosthetic arm

0:01:540:01:58

to hold her bow, then called his university

0:01:580:02:00

to help out.

0:02:000:02:03

A team of five students designed a pretty blingy arm for her,

0:02:030:02:06

and now Isabel's new arm allows her to hold and

0:02:060:02:08

move the bow properly.

0:02:080:02:10

I have to say thank you to them,

0:02:100:02:12

because without them I couldn't really be able to play.

0:02:120:02:16

They also made a grip

0:02:160:02:17

so that she can ride a bike with both arms.

0:02:170:02:20

Since the university students designed Isabel's arm,

0:02:200:02:22

they've been getting even more requests.

0:02:220:02:23

So thanks to Isabel, other people can now benefit

0:02:230:02:25

from a new 3-D printed arm.

0:02:250:02:32

Newcastle fans are still celebrating this morning after their side sealed

0:02:320:02:36

promotion back to the Premier League.

0:02:360:02:43

Rafa Benitez's side thumped Preston 4-1 at St James' Park

0:02:430:02:45

to join Brighton in sealing automatic promotion

0:02:450:02:47

from the Championship.

0:02:470:02:52

Newcastle can now start planning for life back in the top level

0:02:520:02:55

of English football for the first time since 2016.

0:02:550:02:57

Next, quite a lot of you guys love the sound of the end of school bell

0:02:570:03:01

but for many primary school children living in China's capital Beijing,

0:03:010:03:03

hometime is only the start of the day.

0:03:030:03:05

Here's why!

0:03:050:03:06

SCHOOL BELL RINGS.

0:03:060:03:10

That sound in the afternoon usually means it's time

0:03:100:03:12

to go home from school.

0:03:120:03:14

Well, yes, for most of us in the UK.

0:03:140:03:18

But if we cross over 6,500 miles to Beijing in China,

0:03:180:03:20

that sound can sometimes mean more learning.

0:03:200:03:22

You may have heard of or even seen one of these before.

0:03:220:03:25

It's called the abacus,

0:03:250:03:26

which was used before your parents were even born

0:03:260:03:28

to learn how to count.

0:03:280:03:37

Basically, it's a very old-fashioned calculator

0:03:370:03:38

that uses beads to count big sums,

0:03:380:03:39

and it's one of the things the students here are using to learn.

0:03:390:03:48

What I'm about to say may shock some of you,

0:03:480:03:51

but the pupils here are sometimes volunteering to stay

0:03:510:03:53

for after school lessons for up to 12 extra hours a week!

0:03:530:03:56

TRANSLATION: I have Tuesday and Sunday off.

0:03:560:04:00

I do English, painting, abacus and lots of others.

0:04:000:04:02

On Sunday, it's my favourite, robot class.

0:04:020:04:08

Many people here think that if they don't take up extra classes,

0:04:080:04:11

they will fall behind their mates.

0:04:110:04:18

Their grades are improving because of it, so it's pretty hard

0:04:180:04:21

to see it as a bad thing.

0:04:210:04:23

But the question is, guys, would you want to give up your spare

0:04:230:04:26

time to learn more things like the abacus?

0:04:260:04:31

American astronaut Peggy Whitsun has been chatting to US president

0:04:310:04:33

Donald Trump from on board the International Space Station.

0:04:330:04:38

Her mission to the ISS means she has spent more time in space

0:04:380:04:41

than any other US astronaut.

0:04:410:04:43

She told the president what she'd been doing,

0:04:430:04:45

including how the crew have to drink their own recycled wee.

0:04:450:04:48

Water is such a precious resource up here that we are also cleaning

0:04:480:04:55

up our urine and making it drinkable,

0:04:550:04:57

and it's really not as bad as it sounds.

0:04:570:04:59

That's good, I'm glad to hear that. Better you than me.

0:04:590:05:06

Next up, the Olympics has nothing on this next sporting event.

0:05:060:05:12

The World Masters Games in New Zealand features

0:05:120:05:13

some of the oldest sportsmen and women in the world.

0:05:130:05:19

Man Kaur here from India is 101 years old and she won gold

0:05:190:05:22

in the 100 metres sprint, her time, one minute, 14 seconds!

0:05:220:05:25

She was guaranteed a medal because she was the only runner

0:05:250:05:27

in the over 100 category.

0:05:270:05:30

Now, how do you fancy getting a lift to school on one of these?

0:05:300:05:34

This is the view from a new "personal flying machine"

0:05:340:05:36

which can reach speeds up to 25 miles an hour.

0:05:360:05:38

It's powered by eight rotor blades, and like a helicopter, it can take

0:05:380:05:42

off and land vertically.

0:05:420:05:43

The company behind "the Flyer" hope to have it on sale

0:05:430:05:45

by the end of the year.

0:05:450:05:51

That's all from me, Newsround's back at 4.20 this afternoon.

0:05:510:06:01

Good morning, you're watching CBBC HQ.

0:06:080:06:10

You're with me, Lozza and this guy, ain't that right, mister? High five!

0:06:100:06:13

You see, I try and hand him an olive branch,

0:06:130:06:15

he doesn't even high-five me back.
