Egypt explosion

Devastation in Egypt

At least 88 people have been killed and many more injured after a series of explosions in Egypt.

A 14-year-old British girl is among those injured by the blasts, and has been flown to a hospital in Cairo,

The blasts happened at a holiday resort called Sharm al-Sheikh, with a car bomb tearing the front off of a hotel.

Many Egyptians are among the dead, according to police, although some of those killed are tourists from other countries too, officials said.

Army robots are controlled by Wii remote

Nintendo Wii remote

The latest high-tech military robots are being controlled by something lots of you might find in your living rooms - the controller from a Nintendo Wii.

Because the Wii-mote is easy to get to grips with, it's now being looked at as away of directing robots that are used to clear dangerous mine-fields.

The controllers that were first checked out needed lots of concentration.

But because the Wii-mote is so simple, it allows the users to concentrate more on what's around the robot.
