:00:26. > :00:32.Wednesday's offerings. We hear from the teenager who survived after

:00:32. > :00:37.being attacked by a polar bear. remember the bare ripping through

:00:37. > :00:43.the tent and everyone screaming. What happened next when this

:00:43. > :00:47.monster wave sneaked up on this reporter? First, an 11 year-old boy

:00:47. > :00:53.has become the youngest person to be punished for taking part in the

:00:53. > :00:57.London riots. He admitted stealing a bin from a clothes shop. By the

:00:57. > :01:02.next 18 months the authorities will be keeping an eye on him. If he had

:01:02. > :01:07.been older he could have been sent to prison. Is it right for children

:01:07. > :01:12.to be punished by the law? They were the four days that

:01:12. > :01:18.shocked Britain. Rioting, looting and violence started in a small

:01:18. > :01:23.area of London and spread to cities around England. Thousands were

:01:23. > :01:28.arrested and the courts got tough. People have been sent to jail and

:01:28. > :01:33.given fines. What has grabbed the headlines is the number of young

:01:33. > :01:38.people involved. Almost 1000 people have been taken to court in London,

:01:39. > :01:43.about one-quarter were under 18. The 11 year-olds are punished today

:01:43. > :01:49.stole a bin from a shock. We are not allowed to tell you his name,

:01:49. > :01:54.but he has been in trouble before for setting things on fire. How can

:01:54. > :02:02.someone so young be taken to court? In England you can be punished for

:02:03. > :02:07.a crime as soon as you are 10, the age of criminal responsibility. But

:02:07. > :02:11.people have argued for years about whether that is fair to children.

:02:11. > :02:17.In most cases, children get a warning or have to do work to make

:02:17. > :02:22.up for their crime, but for serious cases you can be locked up. In

:02:22. > :02:28.other countries it is different. Courts can punish kids as young as

:02:28. > :02:33.seven in Switzerland, in Scotland, 12, France, 13, and in Belgium it

:02:33. > :02:39.is 18. Let's find out what you think.

:02:39. > :02:49.have been e-mailing the website all day. This is nine-year-old Robbie

:02:49. > :02:55.

:03:09. > :03:13.Let's hear from the 17 year-old who survived being attacked by a polar

:03:13. > :03:19.bear. Patrick lenders from Jersey was on an expedition in Norway when

:03:19. > :03:23.it happened. Sadly, Horatio Chapple died in the attack.

:03:23. > :03:28.Patrick was seriously injured, but has now been able to talk about his

:03:28. > :03:38.incredibly lucky escape. I remember the bare ripping through the tent,

:03:38. > :03:45.everybody screaming. I saw people really scared when I looked out of

:03:45. > :03:49.my sleeping bag. Then it grabbed my head. Next, to the small town in

:03:49. > :03:53.Wiltshire that became famous around the world for very sad reasons. For

:03:53. > :03:58.the last four years thousands of people have lined the streets of

:03:58. > :04:02.Wootton Bassett to pay their respects to the British servicemen

:04:02. > :04:06.and women who died in Iraq and Afghanistan. From tomorrow those

:04:06. > :04:11.killed overseas will be taken to an air base in Oxfordshire instead.

:04:11. > :04:15.Tonight, a special service is being held in the town.

:04:15. > :04:21.There are just a few hours to find out if your football team is going

:04:21. > :04:25.to add a star signing or stick with the same all squad.

:04:25. > :04:29.West Ham midfielder Scott Parker has swapped east London for north

:04:29. > :04:36.London by signing for Spurs. Joe Cole is on a loan to French club

:04:36. > :04:40.Lille. And it is looking like Owen Hargreaves is joining Manchester

:04:40. > :04:46.City. We have got some behind the scenes

:04:46. > :04:50.Olympic access for you. Most of us failed to get tickets, so we have

:04:50. > :04:54.been off to meet 11 year-old Sam. He has watched at the stadium is

:04:54. > :04:59.being built from his bedroom window, but now he is moving house and is

:04:59. > :05:04.enjoying the view while he still can. If you were looking for an

:05:04. > :05:08.incredible view of the Olympic Park, you will find it here. Sana'a lives

:05:08. > :05:15.in the tower block that overlooks the site. For the last five years

:05:15. > :05:21.he has witnessed the amazing transformation. It is special

:05:21. > :05:25.because not many people get to live this close to the Olympics centre.

:05:25. > :05:29.Since building started five years ago, Sam has been keeping a close

:05:29. > :05:34.eye on all the developments. think it is really good. They have

:05:34. > :05:39.put a lot of effort into it, so they should be proud. It really

:05:39. > :05:49.looks good. Sam got to take a proper look inside the aquatic

:05:49. > :05:58.centre. It was great. I met Colin Jackson. It means a lot. It means I

:05:58. > :06:02.can be proud of myself. I am good at sports. Sam and his family will

:06:02. > :06:05.move to a new home, so he will not be here for the opening ceremony,

:06:05. > :06:10.but he will take all the memories with him.

:06:10. > :06:16.We know you love animals, but you have got some serious competition.

:06:16. > :06:23.We found a lady who is taking canine affection to a new level. It

:06:23. > :06:32.is a bit weird. Karen is a little bit dog mad. This is Lola, she is

:06:32. > :06:36.eight. This is Scarlett Skye, at Little Belle, angels by, baby

:06:36. > :06:42.Gracie and Princess tear. treats them more like pop stars

:06:54. > :06:59.Broccoli has a lot of iron. You do not find many dogs who have their

:06:59. > :07:03.very own dressing rooms, stuffed with snazzy outfits. The dogs go on

:07:03. > :07:11.regular modelling shoots and that means no doggy breath. This does

:07:11. > :07:18.not come cheap. After spending money on all of these things,

:07:18. > :07:24.Karen's bill comes to more than �1,200 a month. That is �15,000 a

:07:25. > :07:30.year. This is our hobby, our life. If we had more money, I would spend

:07:36. > :07:40.loves them. Something we promised, what happened next. Here is a
