Rocket hits moon on water mission

Two unmanned spacecraft have crashed into the Moon as Nasa scientists try to find out once and for all if there's any water there.

A 2,200kg rocket smashed into the surface, throwing up all kinds of dirt and dust into the air.
Equipment on another rocket is now studying the particles to check for signs of ice made from water, before it also crashes.
Scientists say finding the ice in the crash debris would be a huge discovery.

That's because having a water supply on the Moon would be vital for any astronauts who may want to try to live there in the future.

Scientists think the dark craters may be home to water-ice on the Moon
Lots of scientists think ice made from water exists in shadowy craters at the Moon's two poles, but it's never been confirmed.

Last month, three spacecraft found signs of a fine film of water coating particles in the lunar dirt.

The shuttle hit the moon at around noon on Friday, it was travelling at incredible speed when it made contact, shooting hundreds of tonnes of dust into space.
But space experts and astronomers watching the mission with telescopes from Earth were a bit disappointed because there was not the big, exciting explosion which they were expecting.

Funeral of boy in air gun tragedy

Hundreds of people gathered for the funeral of a 10-year-old boy who died in what police described as "a tragic accident" with an airgun.

Rhys Johnson is believed to have been playing with friends in a lane behind his home in Llansamlet, south Wales, when he was shot on 27 September.

He was taken to hospital in Swansea, but later died from his injuries.
Family and friends wore something pink for the service at St Samlets Church as it was Rhys' favourite colour.

Rhys has been described as "a quiet but popular and likeable young man" by head teacher Darren Casker, who said he would be sadly missed.

Chipmunk grabs first number one

Teen rapper Chipmunk has stormed straight to the top of the singles chart with Oopsy Daisy.
His first number one follows his recent success at the Mobo awards where the 18-year-old, whose real name is Jamal Fyffe, won the best hip hop award.

He beat girl group The Saturdays to the top, giving them the second highest new entry at two, with Forever Is Over.
That pushed American hip hop artist Jay-Z down to number three with Empire State Of Mind featuring Alicia Keys.

And after three weeks at the top of the chart, Taio Cruz dropped to number four with Break
Your Heart.

In the album chart, 67-year-old Barbra Streisand climbed three places to number one with her record Love Is The Answer, knocking American rockers Paramore from the top spot.
Their album, Brand New Eyes, fell to number three, while Madonna's greatest hits compilation, Celebration, stayed put at number two.

Rescue teams search for survivors

Rescue teams have been searching for survivors of the earthquake that struck on the Indonesian island of Sumatra.

The United Nations have reported that at least that 1,100 people have died in the disaster - that number is expected to rise.

Britain has sent rescue teams to help reach people who may still be trapped underneath the rubble. Other countries have sent medicine, blankets and food.
Reports say it will weeks before it's clear how much damage has been caused.

The earthquake and a really strong aftershock brought down hospitals, schools and shopping centres as well as causing landslides across the island.
The city of Padang, which is very close to the coast, is among the areas hardest hit by the tremors.

Whale escapes after net tangle

A whale has had a lucky escape after getting tangled up with a net off the coast of Australia.
The eight-metre long humpback got caught up in nets used to protect beaches from sharks in Queensland.

It was spotted by a life guard, who noticed the whale hadn't moved for a long time.
Rescuers took three hours to free the animal from the net. Once it was loose, the lucky animal slapped the water with its tail and swam off.

This is the second whale to get caught up in an anti-shark net this month.
Some people want to ban the nets, because although they do keep swimmers safe, they regularly snare other animals.

Kanye cancels American tour

Kayne West's tour of America and Canada has been cancelled for no reason.

The rap star was due to start his tour of North America in November with pop star Lady GaGa.
The concert promoters, Live Nation, said that the Fame Kills tour had been cancelled and that people would be able to get their money back for tickets.

This comes just a couple of weeks after Kanye stormed the stage at the MTV Video Music Awards interrupting Taylor Swift's acceptance speech.

Kanye has been criticised by lots of people including American President Barack Obama for saying that Taylor shouldn't deserve her award for best female video.

He came on stage to say that the country star shouldn't have won and that his friend Beyonce should have been given the title instead. Later he apologised for the interruption.

A reason hasn't been given to explain why the tour has been called off but Kanye has said in other interviews that he needed some time off.

Suspended ban for Adebayor

Manchester City striker Emmanuel Adebayor has been given a £25,000 fine and a suspended two-match ban for his celebration against Arsenal.
He ran the full length of the pitch to celebrate infront of the Arsenal fans.

The suspended punishment from the FA means Adebayor will only serve the ban if he breaks the rules again before December 2010.
Adebayor has already been served his three-match ban for a stamp during the same game.

The FA said they took into account the fact that the Togo international had said sorry.
He'll now be available to play a part in Man City's next game against Aston Villa on Monday.

Rio de Janeiro gets 2016 Olympics

Rio de Janeiro has won the race to host the 2016 Summer Olympics, making Brazil the first South American country to be picked to host the Games.

It beat rivals Madrid in a final round of secret voting by members of the International Olympic Committee in Copenhagen, in Denmark.

Chicago had been tipped to win but went out in the first round of the voting, followed by Tokyo.
Brazilian President Luiz Inacio Lula da Silva said Rio was ready for the Games.

"Rio will deliver an unforgettable Games," he said. "You will see for yourselves the passion, the energy and the creativity of the Brazilian people.

"I truly believe this is Brazil's time. For the others, it would be just another Games."

It will be a busy couple of years for Brazil as the Olympics will come just two years after it hosts the Football World Cup in 2014.

British handover

Lord Sebastian Coe, who led London's bid for the 2012 Games, said it was a good decision.
"We're really happy to hand over to a country that put young people at the heart of its bid, and to a continent that has never before hosted the Games," he said.

"I would not have wanted to vote myself today because it really was a tough call."
