Missing Mountain Flyer Finally Found!

A missing mountain flyer from London, who was missing in the Swiss Alps has been found alive!

Dan Hunt, 33, went speed flying when he was reported missing on Saturday afternoon. He was believed to only have water and a few snacks with him. He was meant to arrive four minutes behind his partner at an allocated landing spot, but he didn't turn up.

Typical speed flying, is when you attach a small wing to yourself and fly down a steep slope. You can reach speeds up to 75MPH! 

He was later found today (Tuesday) after crying for help in a forested area. However he is not believed to be injured. 

Just under £14,000 was raised on a Facebook campaign to help find him. This helped a lot to carry out the search , which was successful! 

This was the top of the run and he was believed to be found somewhere near the bottom

The Houses Of Parliament To SHUT!?

The Houses of Parliament has a chance of closure for 5 whole years after having troubles with leaky ceilings, crumbling walls and even rats!

Parts of Westminster Palace were first built in 1840. Throughout the Houses of Parliament, some areas are in need of a mega makeover while other areas are full of building problems! The MP’s are now searching for a possible solution.

There have been many debates about what to do in this tricky situation. But 2 possible solutions have been said. The first idea would involve MPs moving out of the Houses of Parliament for a very long 5 years while builders get to work revamping the place as quickly as possible. The second idea is that the MPs stay in the Parliament while the builders work around them. However this project would mean them taking around 20 years on the project all together while the other project would only take 5 years! A very long time indeed!

Some people believe that moving the MPs out for 5 years would be a better idea because it would save about £5 billion. Commons Speaker John Bercow has told reporters last weekend that the Parliament was “structurally sound” for now. Nadine Dorries said she wants to stay where she is and does not want to move out. “The rodents are a problem though,” she admitted.

What do you think? Do you think Parliament should shut down for 5 years or do you think the MPs should stay where they are but have the builders work around them that takes around 20 years to complete? Post your thoughts below...

The World’s First Lion-Tiger Cub Has Been Born!

I’m sure we all know what a lion and a tiger looks like. But have you ever wondered what a half lion and half tiger animal looks like? If you are, then you’re in luck! The very first lion-tiger cub has been born!

A brand new type of animal has just been introduced to the world in Russia. The new animal is called a Liliger.

The new cub’s dad is an African lion, however how this cub has turned out to be half lion half tiger is because its mum is a liger. A liger is a cross between a lion and a tiger, which makes her the world’s first known “liliger.” This new cub has now been named Kiara and she was born by her mum in a zoo.

A zoo worker called Rostislav said: “I think she has more tiger traits than lion traits.”

What would naturally occur now is that the cub would stay with her mother for a while to feed, however this is not the case because Kiara's mother sadly could not provide enough milk for her so she now has to be raised by an ordinary domestic cat to feed the hungry cub. Kiara is fed milk by her zoo keepers every three hours to keep her belly full of milk, and she receives some motherly love from the domestic cat that also looks after Kiara as well.

Motorola Reveals A New Smartphone!

The Razr I is the new smartphone from Motorola! With an edge-to-edge screen and a 2GHZ processor it hopes to beat the new iPhone 5 and Galaxy S3 in its sales.

The new Android and Intel based smartphone features a 4.3-inch HD display (bigger than the iPhone 5) built with 'Gorilla Glass.' Also this brand new smart phone has a 8 megapixel camera which takes 'stunning' HD videos. It is also claimed to have 40% better battery life than the iPhone 4s.

It was launched in London today and is claimed to be the first smartphone with a 2GHz processor. Despite the fact
they have teamed up with Google to make this smartphone, Google Chrome is apparently not installed on it.

Eric Reid said "You can be ready to take a picture in less than 1 second, which is about twice as fast as the other products on the market"

Over the next few years Mr Wicks confirmed that customers can expect further other Motorola Intel-based handsets!

Dieting Elephants?

In some parts of India, elephants are kept in temples for very religious reasons and to take part in ceremonies and festivals. However these elephants are getting over-pampered so they are getting fatter and fatter until they are obese. Now authorities in India are forced to manage the weight of these obese elephants.

 Over-pampered temple elephants are put on diets

Now all temple officials are changing the elephants diet on the advice of veterinary surgeons. One female temple elephant, 15 year-old Parvathi, is overweight by 500kg. Another elephant in the Kallazagar Temple weighs 700kg, which is more than the optimum for its age. The elephants eat up to 200 different varieties of food in the wild but in captivity,in the temple, their diets often lack of variety. Also experts say that elephants never eat rice, salt, millets in the wild.

The Teenager that might not make adulthood.

Holly Pereira, 19, who has cystic fibrosis, created a three-minute black and white film to aid her cause.

She says: 'There is nothing more I can do but hope that call will come. But sadly I know sometimes it’s too late and the call won’t come on time.' 

Holly needs two lungs to save her life. Cystic fibrosis is the UK's most common life threatening inherited disease. It affects the the internal organs, especially the lungs and the digestive system.

Chris Evans, Bought A Bridge? Really?

Yes! At Donnington Race track, Chris Evans has bought the Le Mans foot bridge. He only gets the outer cladding, not the inside metal structure. That, however, has been sold for scrap.
He said " Why wouldn't you by a bridge if you had a chance?"
He also added, "There will be planning permission's of course!"

Would you buy a bridge? And stick it in your back garden?
