Hello and welcome to Newsround. Hayley and Ricky with all of

Wednesday's offerings. We hear from the teenager who survived after

being attacked by a polar bear. remember the bare ripping through

the tent and everyone screaming. What happened next when this

monster wave sneaked up on this reporter? First, an 11 year-old boy

has become the youngest person to be punished for taking part in the

London riots. He admitted stealing a bin from a clothes shop. By the

next 18 months the authorities will be keeping an eye on him. If he had

been older he could have been sent to prison. Is it right for children

to be punished by the law? They were the four days that

shocked Britain. Rioting, looting and violence started in a small

area of London and spread to cities around England. Thousands were

arrested and the courts got tough. People have been sent to jail and

given fines. What has grabbed the headlines is the number of young

people involved. Almost 1000 people have been taken to court in London,

about one-quarter were under 18. The 11 year-olds are punished today

stole a bin from a shock. We are not allowed to tell you his name,

but he has been in trouble before for setting things on fire. How can

someone so young be taken to court? In England you can be punished for

a crime as soon as you are 10, the age of criminal responsibility. But

people have argued for years about whether that is fair to children.

In most cases, children get a warning or have to do work to make

up for their crime, but for serious cases you can be locked up. In

other countries it is different. Courts can punish kids as young as

seven in Switzerland, in Scotland, 12, France, 13, and in Belgium it

is 18. Let's find out what you think.

have been e-mailing the website all day. This is nine-year-old Robbie

from Ireland. He reckons they should be asked to do something

useful for the community. Keep your comments coming in.

Let's hear from the 17 year-old who survived being attacked by a polar

bear. Patrick lenders from Jersey was on an expedition in Norway when

it happened. Sadly, Horatio Chapple died in the attack.

Patrick was seriously injured, but has now been able to talk about his

incredibly lucky escape. I remember the bare ripping through the tent,

everybody screaming. I saw people really scared when I looked out of

my sleeping bag. Then it grabbed my head. Next, to the small town in

Wiltshire that became famous around the world for very sad reasons. For

the last four years thousands of people have lined the streets of

Wootton Bassett to pay their respects to the British servicemen

and women who died in Iraq and Afghanistan. From tomorrow those

killed overseas will be taken to an air base in Oxfordshire instead.

Tonight, a special service is being held in the town.

There are just a few hours to find out if your football team is going

to add a star signing or stick with the same all squad.

West Ham midfielder Scott Parker has swapped east London for north

London by signing for Spurs. Joe Cole is on a loan to French club

Lille. And it is looking like Owen Hargreaves is joining Manchester

City. We have got some behind the scenes

Olympic access for you. Most of us failed to get tickets, so we have

been off to meet 11 year-old Sam. He has watched at the stadium is

being built from his bedroom window, but now he is moving house and is

enjoying the view while he still can. If you were looking for an

incredible view of the Olympic Park, you will find it here. Sana'a lives

in the tower block that overlooks the site. For the last five years

he has witnessed the amazing transformation. It is special

because not many people get to live this close to the Olympics centre.

Since building started five years ago, Sam has been keeping a close

eye on all the developments. think it is really good. They have

put a lot of effort into it, so they should be proud. It really

looks good. Sam got to take a proper look inside the aquatic

centre. It was great. I met Colin Jackson. It means a lot. It means I

can be proud of myself. I am good at sports. Sam and his family will

move to a new home, so he will not be here for the opening ceremony,

but he will take all the memories with him.

We know you love animals, but you have got some serious competition.

We found a lady who is taking canine affection to a new level. It

is a bit weird. Karen is a little bit dog mad. This is Lola, she is

eight. This is Scarlett Skye, at Little Belle, angels by, baby

Gracie and Princess tear. treats them more like pop stars

than pets. This is the breakfast menu. We soak their biscuits. We

have got goat's milk. Fresh vegetables, the same we would eat.

Broccoli has a lot of iron. You do not find many dogs who have their

very own dressing rooms, stuffed with snazzy outfits. The dogs go on

regular modelling shoots and that means no doggy breath. This does

not come cheap. After spending money on all of these things,

Karen's bill comes to more than �1,200 a month. That is �15,000 a

year. This is our hobby, our life. If we had more money, I would spend

more money on them. They are unconditional love. She definitely

loves them. Something we promised, what happened next. Here is a

television reporter in China when a wave comes up behind her and

crashes. I am impressed she is still standing up. It is stuff
