Good day to you, friends. You are in the right place at the right

:00:17.:00:21.

time to Cattrall of today's news goodness. Ore here with you live

:00:21.:00:27.

just before five. Here is a pick of what we have got coming your way.

:00:27.:00:29.

Mission accomplished - with their feet back on Earth, these

:00:29.:00:35.

astronauts give us the low-down on life in space. You can catch them

:00:35.:00:40.

talking to Leah later on. But while I am here, twiddling my thumbs solo

:00:41.:00:44.

in the studio, Leah has managed to get from space to Wimbledon in the

:00:44.:00:49.

blink of an eye! It is a massive day down at SW19 with Andy Murray

:00:49.:00:56.

taking the stage on Centre Court in the quarter-finals. LG, talk to me!

:00:56.:01:04.

What is going down? After the rain yesterday, the sun is shining on

:01:04.:01:08.

Wimbledon which is a good thing because we can get to see some top

:01:08.:01:14.

quality tennis. On Centre Court, Andy Murray is playing against

:01:14.:01:20.

Feliciano Lopez. The last times they played together, Andy Murray

:01:20.:01:25.

beat him but the Scott says he will not let the pressure go to his head.

:01:25.:01:30.

There are hundreds, if not thousands of people backing him to

:01:30.:01:37.

win. Defending champion Rafael Nadal is also in action on court

:01:37.:01:43.

two up and he is a set up. He is playing Mardy Fish. Rafa had an

:01:43.:01:48.

injury scare on Monday that he went to the hospital and he is fine. The

:01:48.:01:52.

big shock of the tournament, six times winner Roger Federer has been

:01:52.:01:59.

dumped out of the competition. I cannot believe it. He was against

:01:59.:02:05.

Frenchman Jo-Wilfried Tsonga. A big shock for Roger Federer fans. This

:02:05.:02:09.

raw fish is what Andy Murray says gives him all the energy to go on

:02:09.:02:14.

and win so it I am going to try and get on to Centre Court with my

:02:14.:02:24.
:02:24.:02:30.

sushi. Back to you, Ore. Thanks, Now, for many of you school is out

:02:30.:02:36.

until Friday. Teachers are going on strike in eight out of 10 schools

:02:36.:02:41.

in England and Wales. Teachers are unhappy with the money that they

:02:41.:02:47.

will get for their pensions, that is the money you live on when you

:02:47.:02:52.

retire. It looks like the strike will still go ahead. We asked you

:02:52.:02:55.

what you thought about all this on line, with you get the day off or

:02:55.:03:00.

are you having to go in? Not surprisingly, lots of you got in

:03:00.:03:09.

touch. 14-year-old Emily says, my school is off on strike day. We do

:03:09.:03:13.

not have to go in. That is the same for Caitlin who is

:03:13.:03:17.

14. She says all the strict teachers are striking. It is funny

:03:17.:03:20.

for you but I do not think the teachers will be smiling after

:03:20.:03:24.

that! Alex says the teachers' strike is a

:03:24.:03:29.

good idea because teachers do not get much money. You have still got

:03:29.:03:34.

time to get in touch. Header over to our website.

:03:34.:03:39.

Now, some guys who are happy to have their feet back on the ground,

:03:39.:03:43.

the NASA space shuttle Discovery returned from her final mission in

:03:43.:03:47.

March. Leah got to meet the crew and find out what it was like to

:03:47.:03:50.

fly the shuttle for the last time ever.

:03:50.:03:55.

The space shuttle Discovery ducking back on earth after its final

:03:55.:04:00.

mission to the International Space Station. She was 27 years old with

:04:00.:04:04.

more than 148 million miles on her clock and had flown more missions

:04:04.:04:09.

and carried more astronauts than any of NASA's other shuttles. That

:04:09.:04:13.

was three months ago and now the crew were adjusting to life back

:04:14.:04:18.

corner. What was it like being on the final discovery flight? It was

:04:18.:04:25.

a wonderful experience. I could not meet three top astronauts without

:04:25.:04:28.

asking them an important question. How would you go to the toilet in

:04:28.:04:36.

space? We have a system which contains our waste. These guys have

:04:36.:04:41.

an important job in space, taking tonnes of expensive equipment and

:04:41.:04:45.

supplies to their floating science lab but they also took this metal

:04:45.:04:50.

up with them. It celebrates the famous British explorer, Captain

:04:50.:04:56.

James Cook, who headed out on explorations like them but not in

:04:56.:05:04.

space. He sailed 250 years ago. The space shuttle Discovery is named

:05:04.:05:08.

after Captain Cook's ship. The medal is now back down on earth

:05:08.:05:12.

where everyone can catch a little bit of history.

:05:12.:05:19.

Thank you. If you want to see that medal it will be on display at the

:05:19.:05:29.
:05:29.:05:32.

National Maritime Museum next month. Sticking with space, here is why

:05:32.:05:37.

you do not litter, even in space. Last month, the crew on the

:05:37.:05:40.

International Space Station spotted a piece of junk hurtling straight

:05:40.:05:43.

towards them. People at Mission Control in Texas could only watch

:05:44.:05:50.

as the debris past 250 miles from the floating science lab. That is

:05:50.:05:53.

the closest an object has ever come to it.

:05:53.:05:59.

Now, time to update you on the story of the very, very lost

:05:59.:06:03.

penguin. It somehow ended up in New Zealand thousands of miles from

:06:03.:06:09.

home. After some life-saving operations, it is now on the road

:06:09.:06:14.

to recovery. This emperor penguin has been

:06:14.:06:19.

nicknamed Happy Feet. Its feet have taken it a long way from the

:06:19.:06:23.

Antarctic where it usually lives. Wildlife experts thought it looked

:06:23.:06:28.

well and happy at first, but then its health started to get worse.

:06:28.:06:33.

They saw the penguin was eating sand from the beach so vets decided

:06:33.:06:40.

to operate and they discovered lots of sound and driftwood inside its

:06:40.:06:45.

belly. They took out a whopping three kilos of the stuff. That is

:06:45.:06:50.

the same as three big bags of sugar. Now he is on the mend and is back

:06:50.:06:55.

to guzzling fish. It will be a while before he can head back home.

:06:55.:07:00.

He is skinny and he would freeze in Antarctica which is probably hard

:07:00.:07:04.

to believe. So, for now, this penguin is chilling out.

:07:04.:07:09.

Now, if we told you we have found a chihuahua sheepdog, you might think

:07:09.:07:14.

we were trying to pull the wool over your eyes! Nancy the chihuahua

:07:14.:07:19.

has been showing off her herding skills with sheets which are more

:07:19.:07:25.

than six times her size. Nancy is a rescue dog and her handlers think

:07:25.:07:31.

he learned what to do by watching working dogs in action.

:07:31.:07:36.

Before we go, I want to tell you about our fab new website. We have

:07:36.:07:41.

given you -- giving it a brand new look. There are more games and
