:00:14. > :00:14.Hey, Martin here with your Thursday Newsround.

:00:15. > :00:17.First to Italy, where rescue workers have been searching

:00:18. > :00:19.overnight for survivors, following Wednesday's earthquake

:00:20. > :00:25.More than 400 rescuers used heavy equipment and dug

:00:26. > :00:28.with their bare hands in search of people that had been trapped.

:00:29. > :00:31.Over 200 people have died and many more have been injured as the work

:00:32. > :00:38.And remember, if there's anything in the news that upsets you,

:00:39. > :00:44.there is help and advice on the Newsround website.

:00:45. > :00:48.Next, scientists have discovered the closest planet to Earth,

:00:49. > :00:50.outside our solar system, where life could potentially exist.

:00:51. > :00:56.These pictures are artists' impressions of what this

:00:57. > :01:02.It's been discovered in another solar system four light years away -

:01:03. > :01:05.that's more than 25 trillion miles - but in space terms, this planet

:01:06. > :01:15.It orbits around our nearest star called Proxima Centauri.

:01:16. > :01:17.It's roughly the same size as Planet Earth and,

:01:18. > :01:22.like our planet, scientists think it's a rocky, solid world.

:01:23. > :01:25.It's not known if life exists on Proxima b, but scientists say

:01:26. > :01:29.the temperature of the planet - not too hot or too cold -

:01:30. > :01:32.means liquid water could potentially exist.

:01:33. > :01:37.And where there's water, there's the possibility for life.

:01:38. > :01:41.There are hundreds of planets being discovered now every month,

:01:42. > :01:43.but this is a really special one, that's the nearest one.

:01:44. > :01:48.This happened once, it will not happen again.

:01:49. > :01:51.Astronomers in South America made the discovery using a special

:01:52. > :01:56.instrument on a telescope operated by the European Southern Observatory

:01:57. > :02:04.Getting to Proxima b at the moment is pretty much mission impossible.

:02:05. > :02:07.Even though it's the closest planet we've ever found,

:02:08. > :02:09.it would still take thousands of years to get there.

:02:10. > :02:16.Maybe, if there's super-fast space craft in the future,

:02:17. > :02:18.it might be able to be reached in a human's lifetime.

:02:19. > :02:21.And until then, it's still a pretty amazing discovery for scientists

:02:22. > :02:32.Next, we're still enjoying Team GB's success in Rio here at Newsround

:02:33. > :02:35.and Olympic gymnast Nile Wilson broke records when he won a bronze

:02:36. > :02:40.It's the first time that a British gymnast has won a medal

:02:41. > :02:44.on the horizonal bar. Nile joins us now.

:02:45. > :02:55.Congratulations. Thank you. Welcome back. Look at that bronze medal.

:02:56. > :03:01.Last time we spoke to you, the team had not even been selected, now you

:03:02. > :03:05.have that medal, how does that feel? Amazing, something you dream about

:03:06. > :03:12.when you are a young boy, just a massive achievement to make the

:03:13. > :03:15.Olympics and, too, home with a medal is just incredible. Well done, it

:03:16. > :03:23.must feel stage coming back from something like that. What are you

:03:24. > :03:26.focusing on now? 2020? Yes, the next Olympics, coming home with the

:03:27. > :03:33.bronze medal, now to work out what to do to win gold, and be the best,

:03:34. > :03:46.but now blacks and seeing my family. But not all serious? You had some

:03:47. > :03:51.good times with your friends? Yes, lots of pranks going, Louis Smith

:03:52. > :03:58.superglued all be toiletries to the bathroom shelf. But it was good fun

:03:59. > :03:59.to be away. Brilliant, congratulations, thanks for coming

:04:00. > :04:03.in. Thanks. Next, alongside Nile,

:04:04. > :04:05.two of the big stars in Rio were Jack Law,

:04:06. > :04:08.who won silver in the men's 3m diving event, and his partner

:04:09. > :04:11.Chris Mears, who teamed up to win the Men's Synchronized

:04:12. > :04:12.3m Springboard. We asked you guys to

:04:13. > :04:14.send in your questions. Yes, come on!

:04:15. > :04:30.That is an Olympic medal for sure! I think it's a pretty cool sport.

:04:31. > :04:34.Yeah. We love watching the Winter

:04:35. > :04:36.Olympics, especially when... The Winter Olympics

:04:37. > :04:38.is fantastic for us. We never watch any, like,

:04:39. > :04:40.Alpine sports, but curling, for us, I just love the whole

:04:41. > :04:44.slide and glide thing, and the broom, it's really funny.

:04:45. > :04:46.It's really cool. Chris would the stone guy

:04:47. > :04:50.and I'd be the brusher guy, I think.

:04:51. > :04:55.Yeah. That is a perfect place to start.

:04:56. > :04:57.Good question. Both of us started when

:04:58. > :05:00.we were seven years old. I swum before and did

:05:01. > :05:03.a little spot of gymnastics, but nothing serious,

:05:04. > :05:05.really, and took up diving and now, 14 years later,

:05:06. > :05:07.I'm an Olympic gold medallist. You know, if you're

:05:08. > :05:09.as passionate about something, like diving like we are,

:05:10. > :05:12.then work hard and get through the hard training sessions

:05:13. > :05:14.and end up with these. Finally, robots are usually

:05:15. > :05:22.controlled by remote control, right? This cool wee robot has

:05:23. > :05:32.no wires or batteries. It actually moves by pushing gas

:05:33. > :05:36.through little chambers in its legs. It's hoped that, one day, robots

:05:37. > :05:52.like this could help with surgery How cool is that? Pretty awesome!

:05:53. > :05:56.That is all from me. Programme macros is back this afternoon, find

:05:57. > :06:00.out more on Newsround online.
