0:00:03 > 0:00:05Good morning, Ayshah here with your mid-week stories this Wednesday.
0:00:05 > 0:00:07Coming up:
0:00:07 > 0:00:09Atchoo!
0:00:09 > 0:00:12Scientists get up, close and personal with sneezing, and...
0:00:12 > 0:00:13A step closer to space tourism?
0:00:13 > 0:00:16A new rocket has a successful launch.
0:00:25 > 0:00:28First up, to the Champions League, and Chelsea moved joint top
0:00:28 > 0:00:32of Group G, after a comfortable 4-0 win at Maccabi Tel Aviv.
0:00:32 > 0:00:34Arsenal's hopes in the competition are still alive
0:00:34 > 0:00:38after their 3-0 victory against Dinamo Zagreb at the Emirates.
0:00:38 > 0:00:43And Arsene Wenger thinks his side have a good chance.
0:00:43 > 0:00:46What we want is to come out of the game tonight with
0:00:46 > 0:00:48a chance to qualify and we needed to do the job and
0:00:48 > 0:00:50Bayern Munich needed to do the job.
0:00:50 > 0:00:53Both did it well and it gives us a chance.
0:00:53 > 0:00:59How big the chance is, I don't know, but I believe we can do it.
0:00:59 > 0:01:02There will be more Champions League action tonight, as well, with both
0:01:02 > 0:01:03Manchester teams in action.
0:01:03 > 0:01:06City may have qualified already, but are playing Juventus tonight.
0:01:06 > 0:01:10United will be hoping to qualify for the next step of the competition
0:01:10 > 0:01:16by beating PSV Eindhoven at home.
0:01:16 > 0:01:19Animal news now, and scientists say over half of the world's primates
0:01:19 > 0:01:21are on the brink of extinction.
0:01:21 > 0:01:23Species of apes, lemurs and monkeys are some
0:01:23 > 0:01:25of the creatures under threat.
0:01:25 > 0:01:28Experts say destruction of their homes, particularly the burning and
0:01:28 > 0:01:31clearing of tropical forests, as well as the hunting of the animals
0:01:31 > 0:01:34for food and the illegal wildlife trade, are responsible
0:01:34 > 0:01:39for the drop in monkey numbers.
0:01:39 > 0:01:41Now, if you're eating your breakfast, look away -
0:01:41 > 0:01:44because we're about to show you a giant sneeze in slow motion.
0:01:44 > 0:01:47Scientists in the US have used high-speed video
0:01:47 > 0:01:51to discover exactly how snot breaks into drops after it's ejected
0:01:51 > 0:01:54from our mouths during a sneeze.
0:01:54 > 0:01:56They discovered that mucus and saliva moves in sheets, bursts,
0:01:56 > 0:02:00bags and beaded strings before becoming droplets.
0:02:00 > 0:02:03It's hoped the research will help experts learn more
0:02:03 > 0:02:08about how sneezing spreads germs.
0:02:08 > 0:02:10With less than year to go until the Olympics games,
0:02:10 > 0:02:13many sports are close to choosing their teams to take to Rio.
0:02:13 > 0:02:18And one person hoping to make it is 16-year-old Rebekah Tiler.
0:02:18 > 0:02:21Today she will compete as the youngest member of the GB team
0:02:21 > 0:02:23in the Senior World Weightlifting Championships in the USA.
0:02:23 > 0:02:27Rebekah started the sport when she was just 12 years old,
0:02:27 > 0:02:33and and we sent BBC Olympic sport reporter Nick Hope to meet her.
0:02:33 > 0:02:39Rebekah Tiler has an amazing talent.
0:02:39 > 0:02:43She's just 16, but can lift over 120 kilograms above her head.
0:02:43 > 0:02:45That's twice her own body weight.
0:02:45 > 0:02:48I've been doing the sport for about four years now.
0:02:48 > 0:02:51I actually started off as a sprinter when I was 12.
0:02:51 > 0:02:54I went to the perform centre and I was lifting more than most
0:02:54 > 0:02:55of the guys.
0:02:55 > 0:02:57It's crazy.
0:02:57 > 0:02:59A month later, I started doing it.
0:02:59 > 0:03:00Everybody thinks it's a body-building sport.
0:03:00 > 0:03:03You know, you get big muscles and you are
0:03:03 > 0:03:07hairy and everything like men and stuff, but it's nothing like that.
0:03:07 > 0:03:09They are all just normal girls.
0:03:09 > 0:03:12Rebekah holds 30 British records, and her typical day involves
0:03:12 > 0:03:15training and studying for college - something she is pleased to see
0:03:15 > 0:03:19more girls trying themselves.
0:03:19 > 0:03:21I think there's a lot more girls getting involved
0:03:21 > 0:03:25in the sport now, which is really good, and that's what I wanted to do
0:03:25 > 0:03:28- inspire more kids and girls to get in, because it's a great sport.
0:03:28 > 0:03:31Houston in the USA is where Rebekah will make her debut at the
0:03:31 > 0:03:33World Championships as a senior weightlifter.
0:03:33 > 0:03:37And as an added bonus, she'll also be up against one of her idols -
0:03:37 > 0:03:38Commonwealth champion Zoe Smith.
0:03:38 > 0:03:41The first time I saw Zoe was at London 2012, and I was looking up
0:03:41 > 0:03:44to her thinking, I could be like her if I trained hard.
0:03:44 > 0:03:49So I am now, which is cool.
0:03:49 > 0:03:53And you are going to be competing against her.
0:03:53 > 0:03:56Which is really good, yes, that's going to be a good showdown.
0:03:56 > 0:03:58She's a fantastic athlete, I can't knock her at all.
0:03:58 > 0:04:01She has obviously been making huge gains recently, so it will be
0:04:01 > 0:04:02a really, really good competition.
0:04:02 > 0:04:05To be there and experience it is just going to be so cool.
0:04:05 > 0:04:07Just really excited, can't wait to get on the platform
0:04:07 > 0:04:13and show them how I lift.
0:04:13 > 0:04:15Next, a new rocket designed to carry tourists into space has
0:04:15 > 0:04:17launched successfully in America.
0:04:17 > 0:04:21The New Shepard rocket took off from west Texas on Monday with no-one
0:04:21 > 0:04:23aboard and landed safely again.
0:04:23 > 0:04:30It's been made to carry up to six people into earths upper
0:04:30 > 0:04:33atmosphere where they will be able to experience weightlessness.
0:04:33 > 0:04:35The rocket is designed to take off and land standing up,
0:04:35 > 0:04:37so it can used more than once.
0:04:37 > 0:04:39Australia has started using drones with cameras to track sharks
0:04:39 > 0:04:41on beaches.
0:04:41 > 0:04:43The drones will send live pictures to a control centre
0:04:43 > 0:04:46so the animals can be tracked.
0:04:46 > 0:04:49They are being used alongside barriers in the sea,
0:04:49 > 0:04:53and helicopters, after a number of attacks over the last year.
0:04:53 > 0:04:55That's all from me, I'll be back in about half an hour.
