Hi, guys. Martin here, taking you into the weekend with Friday's best

:00:19.:00:22.

stories, including... Whether the comet of the century survived its

:00:23.:00:28.

brush with the sun. Let's start with the big question of how equal boys

:00:29.:00:33.

and girls really are. A report by Girl Guiding UK says that girls

:00:34.:00:36.

don't think they get the same opportunities as boys. Lots of you

:00:37.:00:40.

have been in touch about this. Here's Ayshah with more. This

:00:41.:00:47.

research suggests the majority of girls are worried that sexist

:00:48.:00:51.

attitudes can stop them from doing what

:00:52.:00:51.

attitudes can stop them from doing school who asked for a

:00:52.:00:59.

attitudes can stop them from doing get a bowl of water. I was pretty

:01:00.:01:01.

annoyed so told him how I felt, and he apologised for being sexist.

:01:02.:01:15.

That is something that comes out of the report by the girl guides. The

:01:16.:01:21.

majority of girls say they would like to be leaders, but most thought

:01:22.:01:25.

boys were more likely to get the top jobs. We spoke to our girls recently

:01:26.:01:31.

about people who work in the army and asked them to draw a

:01:32.:01:34.

stereotypical soldier. All of the girls drew a man. When we said to

:01:35.:01:39.

them, can girls be in the army? They thought it was ridiculous, of course

:01:40.:01:42.

they can, they can do whatever they want. They couldn't find a job of --

:01:43.:01:48.

a job that girls couldn't do, but because of stereotypes they

:01:49.:01:51.

automatically thought it would be a man. So what does it take for girls

:01:52.:01:56.

to achieve their ambitions? Some advice I would give the girls who

:01:57.:02:00.

think boys would be picked over them for a top job, just be more

:02:01.:02:04.

confident. That's the perception they have themselves and it's not

:02:05.:02:08.

actually true. Making sure you put yourself forward and knowing that

:02:09.:02:13.

you're good enough. Most of the surveys did say they thought girls

:02:14.:02:17.

and boys had an equal chance of success, but no one can agree on how

:02:18.:02:21.

to make it happen more often. Next to a warning about the behaviour of

:02:22.:02:24.

people at kids football matches, but it's not the children behaving badly

:02:25.:02:28.

- it's the parents! The Football Association in England say grown-ups

:02:29.:02:30.

have committed 4,000 misconduct offences at their children's

:02:31.:02:33.

football matches in the past 15 months, including having arguments

:02:34.:02:35.

and even fights with parents supporting rival teams. The FA say

:02:36.:02:41.

they'll offer courses to the worst offenders. We want to hear if you've

:02:42.:02:46.

seen any examples of bad parental behaviour at your local youth footy

:02:47.:02:51.

games. Head to the website to let us know. Next, it was already one of

the know. Next, it was already one of

:02:55.:03:00.

Comet Ison's become even more of a mystery. Last night, the so-called

:03:01.:03:03.

"comet of the century" was on a make-or-break journey around the

:03:04.:03:08.

sun. Experts held their breath to see if it would survive the super

:03:09.:03:11.

hot temperatures, come out the other side and head towards earth. So did

:03:12.:03:14.

it? It's been on an epic journey a light

:03:15.:03:21.

year across space, but did Comet Ison survive a brush with the sun?

:03:22.:03:25.

It's over 4.5 billion years-old and could help solve some of the

:03:26.:03:28.

mysteries of space, but last night it flew so close to our star that,

:03:29.:03:32.

at first, scientists thought it had been destroyed forever. But now they

:03:33.:03:37.

think there's a chance that something did survive the orbit.

:03:38.:03:41.

What they know for sure is that what came out from behind the sun is not

:03:42.:03:46.

as big as what went in. The comet's icy exterior was melted away by

:03:47.:03:49.

2,000 degree temperatures. What astronomers are now trying to figure

:03:50.:03:54.

out is how much remains. We should know for sure in the next 24 hours.

:03:55.:03:59.

If it hasn't been destroyed, it should pass earth in December and

:04:00.:04:02.

could still provide a spectacular light show in our skies. In the

:04:03.:04:08.

meantime, the waiting - and hoping - continues. OK, if you've ever

:04:09.:04:14.

dreamed of building your own robot then just take this as a bit of a

:04:15.:04:18.

word of warning. This is Tao. He's Chinese, and has spent the last year

:04:19.:04:22.

and all of his life's savings making this giant thing. It's made from

:04:23.:04:25.

scrap metal and second hand electrical equipment and he calls it

:04:26.:04:30.

"the King of Innovation". But Tao lives in a tiny apartment and, at

:04:31.:04:34.

more than two metres high and a weight of 30 stones, the robot is

:04:35.:04:39.

too big to get out of the house. Doh! That's almost all we've got

:04:40.:04:44.

time for, but if giant, fossilised Dino-poo is something that gets you

:04:45.:04:47.

excited, head to the Newsround website to see the ancient, communal

:04:48.:04:50.

dinosaur toilet that's just been discovered in Argentina. That's all

:04:51.:04:52.

from us today but we're back bright discovered in Argentina. That's all

:04:53.:04:56.

and early tomorrow. Have a great weekend.
