The Newsround team have been busy getting you all of Tuesday's top | :00:08. | :00:12. | |
stories. On the way: The horses being sold for a pound. | :00:12. | :00:20. | |
And the man who is also a jet. It's jetman! | :00:20. | :00:24. | |
First, many of us might be able to do a few lengths in the pool, but | :00:24. | :00:27. | |
could you cope with strong and dangerous currents in the sea? Every | :00:27. | :00:31. | |
summer, thousands of people have to be rescued around UK's beaches after | :00:31. | :00:34. | |
getting into trouble. Last year, lifeboats were called out to 14,500 | :00:34. | :00:44. | |
incidents. Nearly 10,000 emergencies involved children. | :00:44. | :00:49. | |
The summer holidays are here, so you would be forgiven for thinking that | :00:49. | :00:53. | |
meant the end of lessons for a while. But these kids are taking | :00:53. | :00:58. | |
part in lessons of a different kind, learning skills that may one day | :00:58. | :01:04. | |
save their lives. How do you think that will be like to swim in? | :01:04. | :01:09. | |
the first time, swimming's top organisation, the ASA, has teamed up | :01:09. | :01:12. | |
with the lifeboat in charity the RNLI to teach kids how to swim | :01:13. | :01:16. | |
safely in the sea. You may be one of the best swimmers at school, but | :01:16. | :01:20. | |
swimming at sea is a different story. First, there was the wind, | :01:20. | :01:25. | |
and the changing tide. The other thing is the cold. Would you know | :01:25. | :01:31. | |
what to do if you got into trouble out at sea? I would try and | :01:31. | :01:38. | |
signalled the lifeguards to come and get me. In the sea, you don't know | :01:38. | :01:44. | |
how big it will be, so you might trip and fall into a deep hole. | :01:44. | :01:50. | |
account for nearly two thirds of incidents. One of the most important | :01:50. | :01:55. | |
things is to know how to deal with the cold. The water is a lot | :01:55. | :01:59. | |
colder, so when you go into the water, they go into something called | :01:59. | :02:05. | |
cold shock. Rip tides will make a difference as well. Keep your arms | :02:05. | :02:10. | |
in the water, relax and get used to the temperatures first. The swim | :02:10. | :02:13. | |
safely lessons are currently only available in the south-west of | :02:13. | :02:17. | |
England, but if they prove popular, the scheme could be coming to a | :02:17. | :02:20. | |
beach near you soon. There will be more tips on how to | :02:20. | :02:23. | |
deal with tides and sea currents on our website. Next, animal charities | :02:23. | :02:27. | |
say there are more than 7000 horses in the UK fighting for survival | :02:27. | :02:29. | |
after being abandoned, mostly because their owners can no longer | :02:29. | :02:33. | |
afford to keep them. Some are so desperate to get rid of their horses | :02:33. | :02:37. | |
that they are selling them for as little as a pound. Six horse | :02:37. | :02:40. | |
charities have got together to try to tackle the crisis. Martin will | :02:40. | :02:42. | |
have more on this in our next bulletin. | :02:42. | :02:45. | |
Next, the Beano brought us Dennis the Menace, Gnasher and Minnie the | :02:45. | :02:49. | |
Minx. The comic has been going for 75 years and is celebrating its | :02:49. | :02:52. | |
birthday with a new mag. Earlier in the week, Leah went behind the | :02:52. | :02:59. | |
scenes at their HQ in Dundee. I wonder how a cartoon is made? I | :02:59. | :03:07. | |
bet this guy could help. Gary, how does it work? We have artists that | :03:07. | :03:12. | |
work with us. Some of them still draw the art work by hand and send | :03:12. | :03:17. | |
it in. Then we scanned that in here. We have a colourist department here, | :03:17. | :03:22. | |
and it is their job to cover those images in. Then it comes back to | :03:22. | :03:27. | |
us. We put the speech balloons on it. Then it is checked by editorial | :03:27. | :03:32. | |
staff and then it gets printed down south. Comic books like the Beano | :03:32. | :03:36. | |
were at their most popular in the 1950s and 60s, but these days, the | :03:37. | :03:41. | |
Beano has to compete with TV, films and games for your attention and | :03:41. | :03:46. | |
pocket money. So how do they keep the comic feeling up-to-date? | :03:46. | :03:51. | |
Beano has always moved with the times. We have are digital version | :03:51. | :03:57. | |
of the Beano available. 200,000 people have downloaded the Beano | :03:57. | :04:01. | |
app. We think we are still a major thing in dids' lives. To mark 75 | :04:01. | :04:06. | |
years since the first Beano comic, the team here are making a special | :04:06. | :04:13. | |
edition all about this guy. But this time, he has some celebrity friends. | :04:13. | :04:17. | |
We have just seen Andy Murray win Wimbledon, so the obvious person to | :04:17. | :04:23. | |
have in the Beano in the birthday issue is Andy himself. I have made | :04:23. | :04:27. | |
myself into a Beano character, but I need to find out it is -- if it is | :04:27. | :04:31. | |
good enough to make the magazine. Guys, what do you make of this? | :04:31. | :04:39. | |
is really good. But to make the cut, it has to be you or Andy Murray. | :04:39. | :04:43. | |
Andy Murray, I'm afraid. Now, how cool is this? A Swiss | :04:44. | :04:47. | |
adventurer known as Jetman has made his first public flight in a jet | :04:47. | :04:51. | |
suit in the US. Yves Rossy wore a custom-built flying pack, which has | :04:51. | :04:55. |
