Hi, I'm Ayshah and this is Newsround.

:00:11.:00:12.

First up this guy, Adam Peaty is shaking up the swimming world

:00:13.:00:18.

And he won gold in the World Championships

:00:19.:00:23.

He keeps breaking so many records we can hardly keep up.

:00:24.:00:27.

Here's what you need to know about him.

:00:28.:00:33.

Superstar swimmer, record breaker and hip-hop music fan. I'll tell you

:00:34.:00:40.

more later! Adam Peaty! He broke his own world record in the swimming

:00:41.:00:47.

pool. Not once. World record to Peaty in the heats. But twice. 2610

:00:48.:00:56.

is the world record... Being the first swimmer in the world

:00:57.:01:02.

to go under 26 seconds in 50 metres. There is not many things you can do

:01:03.:01:07.

in 26 seconds, maybe take a selfie, text your mum or watch a tiny bit of

:01:08.:01:12.

Newsround. Think about it, by the time you've done that, Peaty's

:01:13.:01:17.

already stormed and is probably chilling at the other side waiting

:01:18.:01:22.

for the others to catch up. That's why we are giving him the nickname

:01:23.:01:29.

super peat! Here are three other cool facts about him. He listens to

:01:30.:01:32.

hip-hop and grime before he go force a race. He gets up at 4am to work

:01:33.:01:41.

out! And he used to be scared of sitting down in the bath! Seriously,

:01:42.:01:46.

his mum said he didn't like water. But look at him now! A world record

:01:47.:01:51.

holding hip-hop and grime listening swimming machine. You go, Adam!

:01:52.:01:57.

Next, Outer space might be closer than we thought!

:01:58.:01:59.

Everything in the universe is made up of tiny little

:02:00.:02:02.

Now, scientists in America say that up to half of the atoms in the Sun,

:02:03.:02:08.

Earth, and even our bodies were previously part

:02:09.:02:10.

They were blown here by powerful 'galactic winds'.

:02:11.:02:14.

Recently, the numbers of these tiny mammals have dropped.

:02:15.:02:20.

Whitney went to meet the people on a mission to help them.

:02:21.:02:29.

The hazel dormouse weighs between 18-20 grammes, fruits, flowers, nuts

:02:30.:02:36.

and insects are what they like to eat and woodland in parts of England

:02:37.:02:40.

and Wales is where they live. I've come to these woods in

:02:41.:02:44.

Nottinghamshire where nest boxes have been put up to help keep

:02:45.:02:48.

dormice safe and it's Ian's job to help monitor them.

:02:49.:02:54.

Any there? No, none there. I'll put it back on and move on to the next

:02:55.:03:02.

one. Looks like we've got a dormouse in there in a deep sleep. We'll take

:03:03.:03:07.

that off and have a look and see what that is. That's what we do as

:03:08.:03:11.

part of the national monitoring programme. So anything we find, we

:03:12.:03:21.

check them. They go into a large bag to make sure if they're active, they

:03:22.:03:26.

can't escape. They're very fast and very good climbers. Is it sleeping

:03:27.:03:36.

right now? It's in a deep sleep because it's been raining and cold

:03:37.:03:42.

up here. Oh, my gosh. So cute. We have marked some of these animals

:03:43.:03:46.

with a small chip and we are just looking to see if this one's got one

:03:47.:03:50.

in. I don't think it has. So we'll put him in a Spall bag to weigh him.

:03:51.:03:55.

Plenty of air in there for the amount of time this dormouse is

:03:56.:04:01.

going to be in there. Hold that up. 19 and a half. How often do you

:04:02.:04:06.

weigh them? We check boxes once a month. Why are they on the decline?

:04:07.:04:11.

Because we don't manage our woodlands particularly well. We used

:04:12.:04:16.

to cut them to take timber out and firewood and we don't do that any

:04:17.:04:21.

more. A lot of the woodland is becoming shaded and the areas where

:04:22.:04:26.

they used to live is not frequently found in woodland any more. So now

:04:27.:04:32.

he's back inside the box so we just block that hole again with a bung so

:04:33.:04:39.

he can't escape. And we take this box and put it back on the tree

:04:40.:04:44.

where we found it and now we know he's back safely in his box where

:04:45.:04:49.

he'll probably stay for the rest of the day.

:04:50.:05:03.

My favourite TV show is The Dumping Ground
