:00:21. > :00:25.Good evening, all, Hayley and Ricky bring you Thursday's top stories.
:00:25. > :00:31.And there is plenty coming your way including: I find out what it is
:00:31. > :00:36.like to spend your life in a refugee camp. Plus we take a look
:00:36. > :00:39.at the gadgets that have changed the world. First, to the monster
:00:39. > :00:46.hurricane which has been battering the Caribbean and is swirling its
:00:46. > :00:50.way towards the East Coast of America. With winds of up to 120
:00:50. > :00:54.mph, hurricane Irene is not looking to tail off anytime soon. It is
:00:54. > :00:59.looking set to be the first hurricane to hit America's mainland
:00:59. > :01:06.since 2008. Pavel winds and dangerously high
:01:06. > :01:10.seas, hurricane Irene is on a course of devastation. Ripping
:01:10. > :01:14.through pylons across the Caribbean, Irene is unstoppable. Thousands of
:01:14. > :01:19.people have already been forced to leave their homes and many have
:01:19. > :01:26.been stranded. Some people manage to escape the storm. TRANSLATION:
:01:26. > :01:30.It was a bad night, but we were OK. But others are not so lucky.
:01:30. > :01:36.TRANSLATION: Since three in the morning we have been getting people
:01:36. > :01:41.out and have rescued over 3000 people. Here is what it looks like
:01:41. > :01:46.from a bulb. These are satellite images from the International Space
:01:46. > :01:51.Station and show hurricane Irene as it heads towards the American state
:01:51. > :01:54.of North Carolina. She seems to be getting stronger. There is no
:01:54. > :02:00.guarantee the hurricane it will reach the mainland, but people are
:02:00. > :02:04.bracing themselves for a direct hit. We all know how hard it is to
:02:04. > :02:09.predict the weather, so how do forecasters work out exactly where
:02:09. > :02:14.the hurricane is going to hit. I went to the BBC Weather Centre to
:02:14. > :02:20.find out. It is difficult to pin down the exact track, but we can
:02:20. > :02:27.give enough warning so people know if it will get close to the coast.
:02:27. > :02:33.Would a hurricane like this ever happen in the UK? Fortunately not.
:02:33. > :02:36.The sea temperatures get colder and colder. It means the worst storms
:02:36. > :02:41.we ever get in the UK would barely make it onto the bottom of the
:02:41. > :02:45.hurricane scale. More of the other top stories and a
:02:45. > :02:49.reward of �1 million is being offered in Libya to help catch
:02:49. > :02:54.Colonel Gaddafi. He has been leader of the country for more than 40
:02:54. > :02:57.years, but no one knows where he is. They are still fighting in the
:02:57. > :03:02.capital Tripoli between those who are loyal to him and those who want
:03:02. > :03:06.to take control of the country. Let's take you back to the world's
:03:06. > :03:12.largest refugee camp in Kenya. month I travelled there to see what
:03:12. > :03:15.it is like for children fleeing the famine in South Africa. But people
:03:15. > :03:25.have been travelling there for years to escape things like war.
:03:25. > :03:28.
:03:28. > :03:32.For many children the camp is the only life they know. The Dadaab
:03:32. > :03:39.refugee camp in Kenya, thousands of desperate families arrive here
:03:39. > :03:43.every single week. They are escaping the drought in Somalia and
:03:44. > :03:48.other neighbouring countries. Last month, I visited the camp to see
:03:48. > :03:52.how aid organisations are helping hundreds of thousands of people. In
:03:52. > :03:58.the main camps there are hospitals, a place to get food and water and
:03:58. > :04:02.there are schools. But on the outskirts there is hardly anything.
:04:02. > :04:06.This is life for the people who live here, they have practically
:04:06. > :04:12.nothing. They have to make their houses out of whatever they can
:04:12. > :04:20.find and getting food and water is very difficult. On my journey I
:04:20. > :04:26.made friends with our translator. He is 25 and almost all of his life
:04:26. > :04:31.he has lived here. But I was really interested to see how he went from
:04:31. > :04:37.having very little when he first arrived to making a life for
:04:37. > :04:43.himself 20 years on. I came here when I was five years old in 1991
:04:43. > :04:52.when the civil war broke out in Somalia. I fled with my parents, my
:04:52. > :05:00.mother and father and two other children. You can see now I have my
:05:00. > :05:04.television set, my own computer. I have a brighter future now. The
:05:05. > :05:14.hope of going back to Somalia is fading day-by-day. Random fighting
:05:15. > :05:15.
:05:15. > :05:19.is going on inside Somalia. You can see our special programme on the
:05:19. > :05:23.Newsround website. In sports and no wonder Usain Bolt
:05:23. > :05:28.is smiling today because he has had a massive boost ahead of the World
:05:28. > :05:34.Championships. One of his main rivals has pulled out. Asafa Powell
:05:34. > :05:38.has run the fastest 100 metres this year and was tipped to be Usain
:05:38. > :05:43.Bolt in South Korea this weekend, but now he will not be on the
:05:43. > :05:48.starting blocks. We might as well hand Usain Bolt the gold medal now.
:05:48. > :05:53.Have a look at this guy, he is called Steve. His inventions have
:05:53. > :05:57.changed the face of technology. was the head of Apple, but now he
:05:57. > :06:00.has quit, so we have been finding out how he has changed the world of
:06:00. > :06:06.gadgets. Over the years computers have
:06:06. > :06:11.changed a lot. Today there are gadgets for music and messaging our
:06:11. > :06:15.mates, they are small and fit into our pockets. If there is one man
:06:15. > :06:19.who has done more than anyone else to achieve all this, it is Steve
:06:20. > :06:27.Jobs, head of Apple. This is the very first Apple Computer and it
:06:27. > :06:33.was made in 1976. Only 200 were ever made. This one is in the
:06:33. > :06:39.Science Museum. If you compare this to your computer at home, this is
:06:39. > :06:44.about 1000 times slower. Over the years, things improved. This is the
:06:44. > :06:50.Apple Mac. It looks old-fashioned now, but back then it was state of
:06:50. > :06:53.the art. Apple focused on computers that looked good and were easy to
:06:53. > :07:00.use. Then Steve Jobs created the gadget that changed the way we
:07:00. > :07:05.listen to music, the iPod. These are the type of gadgets we are used
:07:05. > :07:10.to now, but 50 years ago technology was very different. Back then
:07:10. > :07:15.computers looked like this and they would not fit into your living room
:07:15. > :07:20.and this Pegasus would set you back �50,000. It is hard to predict how
:07:20. > :07:24.gadgets will look in the future, because things change so fast. Now
:07:24. > :07:29.that Steve Jobs has stepped down, everybody is wondering what would
:07:29. > :07:32.be the next big thing. The how the world has changed.
:07:32. > :07:37.certainly has because a few years ago there would be no such thing as
:07:37. > :07:43.yoga classes for dogs. This is happening in Hong Kong and you can
:07:43. > :07:48.see more on the Newsround website. I cannot see that working with cats.
