And the world's fastest dog on two paws.

First up, kids in England are happy with friends,

But they're less satisfied than children in developing countries

about the way they look and are sometimes judged.

A survey by the Children's Society compared the lives of 16,000 kids

from 11 countries including Romania, Brazil and South Africa.

We asked Lily Caprani to explain more.

We have been studying children's well-being, and when we talk about

that, we mean asking thousands of children what it is about their

lives that makes them good lives or not. Whether or not they have good

hopes for the future or what kind of things make them feel bad about

their lives. It is a prize in that England is a country where we have

quite good money and houses England is a country where we have

schools and health but what we England is a country where we have

found when we asked children what they feel is that they don't do well

compared to other countries even though some of those countries are a

lot poorer. Sometimes those children are happier. When we find out what

lot poorer. Sometimes those children that is about, we discover it is

friendships, relationships, bullying, school. There are other

things that matter to children and it is not just money. One of the

real problems is that they worry about how they look. Especially if

they think people are judging them or are going to bully them because

of the way they look. It seems to be an especially big problem for girls

and those who are ten, 11, 12, 13 say they are really unhappy. English

children generally say they are happiest when they have good,

loving, supportive relationships, and that includes parents, brothers,

sisters and friends at school. Now, did you know that fish didn't

always swim in the water Scientists in Canada have found that

400 million years ago they used their bodies and fins to walk out

of the water. Their skelton got longer and they

became stronger in the chest area, It's left thousands of people

and farmers without water. Experts are drilling much deeper

than usual to try to find some water Even

the US Space Agency NASA thinks the It is bad because what we are seeing

is a tremendous loss of water in central LA. We are losing three or

four cubic calamitous per year and that is a huge amount of water. Most

of that is ground water. -- cubic metres of water.

Next to this massive collection of postcards.

Seven-year-old Josh has been sent almost 2,000 postcards

from every corner of the globe over the last month,

They started flying through the letterbox after

Ricky went to meet him to find out more.

Another special delivery for Josh. Morning! Over the summer, the

seven-year-old has received almost 2000 postcards from all over the

world. This is from America, this is from Japan, this is from Australia.

Earlier this year, Josh was diagnosed with leukaemia, a type of

cancer. The medicine has made him tired. Since March, he has not been

able to attend school but he was given homework for the holidays and

asked to write about his summer break and send a postcard from

wherever he went. But his cancer treatment meant the family had to

cancel their holiday. With the thought of having to spend the rest

of the summer at home or at hospital, Josh's parents came up

with a plan. We came up with the suggestion from a friend who is a

blogger and on Tuesday morning, 30 postcards came through the door and

it has gone up since. Everyday, between 50 and 100 postcards are

delivered and they are coming from all over the world. New Zealand,

China, Greenland, Afghanistan. They just keep coming. Hello, Josh. Hope

you are feeling fine and well. Canada? That is a Spanish island.

Cape Town in South Africa. It has kept us all busy because we have all

been involved with the postcards, putting them on the map and

everything else. We have really, really enjoyed ourselves. The

project has kept the whole family busy, not to mention the postman,
