0:00:03 > 0:00:04Good morning.

0:00:04 > 0:00:06Jenny here with news of a record breaking space rover

0:00:06 > 0:00:08on the way plus...

0:00:08 > 0:00:11We want you to send us your super handshakes and high fives.

0:00:11 > 0:00:14Keep watching.

0:00:18 > 0:00:20First this morning to a record breaking space robot.

0:00:20 > 0:00:23The Mars Rover, Opportunity, sent up to the red planet

0:00:23 > 0:00:26by American space agency Nasa ten years ago, has now travelled further

0:00:26 > 0:00:30than any other craft.

0:00:30 > 0:00:33Nasa scientists say it was only supposed to travel half a mile

0:00:33 > 0:00:36from its landing site originally, but has now clocked up 25 miles.

0:00:36 > 0:00:39It broke the previous record of 24.2 miles, held by

0:00:39 > 0:00:43Russia's Lunokhod two moon rover.

0:00:43 > 0:00:46Next to a scientific study that claims fist bumping is

0:00:46 > 0:00:48healthier than a handshake.

0:00:48 > 0:00:50Researchers at Aberystwyth University say

0:00:50 > 0:00:53the traditional handshake is the most unhygienic way to say hello.

0:00:53 > 0:00:57They used rubber gloves covered in bacteria to test different greetings

0:00:57 > 0:01:01and discovered it passes on 90% more germs than fist bumping.

0:01:01 > 0:01:06They say it could change the way we say hello.

0:01:06 > 0:01:09We're hoping that with the results of these experiments, people will

0:01:09 > 0:01:12realise that handshakes can transfer quite a lot of bacteria between

0:01:12 > 0:01:16people and that it might start becoming more socially acceptable

0:01:16 > 0:01:18to fist bump or high-five.

0:01:18 > 0:01:21Not just your mates.

0:01:21 > 0:01:24Well, that got us thinking and we want you to send us videos of what

0:01:24 > 0:01:27you think is the way to say hello.

0:01:27 > 0:01:29Head to the Newsround website to find out how to get involved.

0:01:29 > 0:01:31Ricky and I have already had a go.

0:01:31 > 0:01:33Hey. Hey, how are you doing?

0:01:37 > 0:01:42See you later. Bye.

0:01:42 > 0:01:45Now if you found some Lego washed up on a beach, you might

0:01:45 > 0:01:47think it was just good luck.

0:01:47 > 0:01:50But if hundreds of pieces started washing up on the sand you might

0:01:50 > 0:01:51start to ask questions.

0:01:51 > 0:01:52Well that's exactly what's been happening

0:01:52 > 0:01:54in Cornwall over the last 17 years.

0:01:54 > 0:01:58We sent Ayshah to investigate just what?s going on.

0:02:03 > 0:02:07I think I have found something.

0:02:07 > 0:02:12A piece of plastic, false alarm.

0:02:12 > 0:02:15This is Perranporth in Cornwall, one of the many beaches along this

0:02:15 > 0:02:19coastline where Lego has been found.

0:02:19 > 0:02:21Maggie, Charlie, Lily and Laura have been

0:02:21 > 0:02:25on the search for bits of Lego all summer.

0:02:25 > 0:02:29These are some of the Lego pieces found on Cornwall's beaches.

0:02:29 > 0:02:32Laura, you found some, which ones?

0:02:32 > 0:02:37I found all of them apart from this.

0:02:37 > 0:02:40How long could it take you to find some of the Lego pieces?

0:02:40 > 0:02:43It can take quite a while.

0:02:43 > 0:02:45But you normally come across them by accident.

0:02:45 > 0:02:48It hasn't just been washing up in the past few weeks,

0:02:48 > 0:02:51it has been going on 17 years.

0:02:51 > 0:02:54On the 13th of February 1997, a container ship called the Tokyo

0:02:54 > 0:03:00Express left Rotterdam for New York in America.

0:03:00 > 0:03:04When the boat was 20 miles of Land's End at the tip of Cornwall, it was

0:03:04 > 0:03:11hit by a freak wave and tilted 60 degrees one way and 40 degrees back.

0:03:11 > 0:03:14As a result, 62 containers fell overboard, one was carrying 5

0:03:14 > 0:03:19million pieces of Lego.

0:03:19 > 0:03:21Rob is a marine biologist and studies the movement

0:03:21 > 0:03:24of ocean waves and currents.

0:03:24 > 0:03:27It was during a storm, it would be mixed up

0:03:27 > 0:03:28and spread around, spread out.

0:03:28 > 0:03:33Some of it will have washed onto the beach but some will stay

0:03:33 > 0:03:38in the ocean for years.

0:03:38 > 0:03:41A huge ocean current goes around the UK, which will take them

0:03:41 > 0:03:44around the world.

0:03:44 > 0:03:49It is fun to fine Lego on the beach but can pose

0:03:49 > 0:03:52It is fun to find Lego on the beach but can pose

0:03:52 > 0:03:55a risk to wildlife, especially sea birds because it is dangerous.

0:03:55 > 0:03:58I haven't found any yet but there is still time before it is dark.

0:04:01 > 0:04:03In the Commonwealth Games England's Adam Gemilli grabbed

0:04:03 > 0:04:08his first major medal in the final of the men's 100m last night.

0:04:08 > 0:04:11The race was missing favourites Usain Bolt and Yohan Blake

0:04:11 > 0:04:15but it was their fellow Jamaican Keymar Bailey Cole who

0:04:15 > 0:04:17finished first in ten seconds flat.

0:04:17 > 0:04:20Gemili's grabbed an impressive second place, something he was

0:04:20 > 0:04:23pretty pleased with.

0:04:23 > 0:04:30There is so much progression that goes into running ten seconds, it is

0:04:30 > 0:04:33There is so much preparation that goes into running ten seconds, it is

0:04:33 > 0:04:37not as easy as people think. I have a great team behind me. I can't

0:04:37 > 0:04:39believe it, my first time representing England, I am so happy.

0:04:39 > 0:04:42But Para-athlete Libby Clegg was the star of the night.

0:04:42 > 0:04:45She won Scotland's first gold medal on the track in the T12 100m.

0:04:45 > 0:04:48It meant this is now Scotland's most successful Commonwealth Games ever.

0:04:48 > 0:04:51Earlier in the day, Alex Marshall and Paul Foster won

0:04:51 > 0:04:53gold in the bowls.

0:04:53 > 0:05:00That's all from me, Newsround's back right here in about half an hour.

0:05:00 > 0:05:01Be

0:05:01 > 0:05:01Be sure

0:05:01 > 0:05:01Be sure to
