:00:32.:00:34.

It's been nine years since the last book was released but now there's

:00:35.:00:37.

a new story of witches and wizards from JK Rowling.

and make sure they get it how they wanted. Today is the official

:01:09.:01:13.

opening attended by the creator of Harry Potter, JK Rowling. I had an

:01:14.:01:19.

idea that I would do something like this one day. A theatrical

:01:20.:01:23.

experience. I knew there was other material and I gave it to these guys

:01:24.:01:29.

and they did the play. One of the things is about famous parents and

:01:30.:01:33.

their children and the resonance under the generations. So very much

relevant to your family. Very much so, my children haven't seen it yet.

Next, to the early relations of humans called Neanderthals

:03:58.:04:00.

and the places that give us big clues to what they were like.

:04:01.:04:03.

These caves in Gibraltar, a small British terrritory

:04:04.:04:05.

at the bottom of Spain, have now got special

:04:06.:04:07.

recognition for all the info they give scientists.

:04:08.:04:09.

They reveal how modern humans share a little more

:04:10.:04:11.

You have a line of caves, probably the highest concentration of

:04:12.:04:23.

Neanderthals anywhere that we know. The caves would have been an ideal

:04:24.:04:28.

habitat for their lifestyle. These people were humans, they may have

:04:29.:04:32.

been different with a different culture and a different way of

:04:33.:04:35.

thinking, some things we will never know, but they were human.

:04:36.:04:38.

The wreckage of a ship which sank 50 years ago may now

:04:39.:04:41.

The ship, called the Darlwyne, was on a day trip in 1966 when it

:04:42.:04:45.

got into difficulty in stormy weather near Cornwall

:04:46.:04:47.

Despite lots of searches - it was never found.

:04:48.:04:51.

But now dive teams think they may have found some parts of the ship.

:04:52.:04:58.

This one might leave you feeling a little dizzy.

:04:59.:05:00.

A daredevil skydiver has become the first person ever to jump

Luke Aikins' free fall in California in the USA took two minutes.

:05:11.:05:14.

Then he flipped onto his back and landed into a net.

:05:15.:05:18.

Luke was thrilled by his achievement.

:05:19.:05:26.

This thing that just happen, the words I want to say I can't get out

:05:27.:05:33.

of my mouth. All these guys, everybody who made this happen. It's

:05:34.:05:34.
