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.
