Good afternoon, Leah here with your last Newsround of the day. Coming up | :00:00. | :00:08. | |
over the next six minutes. We meet the incredible adventurer | :00:09. | :00:11. | |
who's taken on some of the world's toughest challenges. | :00:12. | :00:16. | |
The cutest baby elephant you'll see all day. | :00:17. | :00:20. | |
And who'll win the Super Bowl? Better ask a panda. This is | :00:21. | :00:27. | |
Newsround. First - how to deal with bad | :00:28. | :00:31. | |
behaviour in the classroom. The Government's man in charge of | :00:32. | :00:34. | |
schools in England says teachers should get tougher, making pupils | :00:35. | :00:36. | |
who misbehave do more old-fashioned punishments, like writing lines, | :00:37. | :00:39. | |
cleaning classrooms and weeding the playground. But critics disagree | :00:40. | :00:46. | |
with Michael Gove's plans - they think teachers should be able to | :00:47. | :00:49. | |
decide for themselves how to deal with pupils. You've been on the | :00:50. | :00:53. | |
Newsround website telling us what you think of these plans. Hayat in | :00:54. | :00:58. | |
Cardiff says, "I think it's ok to have a punishment, but writing lines | :00:59. | :01:03. | |
is a little bit too far." But George in Bedfordshire says, "writing lines | :01:04. | :01:07. | |
is fine. But I think all the other ideas are really bad". And Jade in | :01:08. | :01:11. | |
London says "doing chores is a bit like going back to the olden days". | :01:12. | :01:17. | |
Those flood warnings from all the heavy rain and tides are still in | :01:18. | :01:20. | |
place this afternoon. Yet more homes have flooded across the Midlands and | :01:21. | :01:24. | |
the South West and South East of England. And the weather's created a | :01:25. | :01:27. | |
rare tidal surge called the Severn Bore in the Severn Estuary in | :01:28. | :01:30. | |
Gloucestershire. Dare-devil surfers and kayakers turned up to ride the | :01:31. | :01:34. | |
waves, despite being warned of the dangers. And six fishermen had to be | :01:35. | :01:39. | |
rescued after their boat was damaged in rough seas off the north Cornwall | :01:40. | :01:44. | |
coast. Next - to a man who proves you | :01:45. | :01:49. | |
really can do anything you set your mind to. James Ketchell was in a | :01:50. | :01:52. | |
serious motorbike crash seven years ago. Doctors say he might have found | :01:53. | :01:56. | |
it hard to walk properly again. But he's proved them wrong. He's taken | :01:57. | :01:59. | |
part in one of the world's toughest competitions. Singlehandedly rowing | :02:00. | :02:02. | |
across the Atlantic, climbing Mount Everest. And if that's not enough, | :02:03. | :02:07. | |
he's just finished cycling thousands of miles around the world! Earlier I | :02:08. | :02:12. | |
caught up with James and he told me about his first challenge - that big | :02:13. | :02:18. | |
row. I rowed from a little island which is in the Canary Islands. I | :02:19. | :02:22. | |
rowed to Antigua. It was the same route as Christopher Columbus used. | :02:23. | :02:29. | |
It was a challenge. I ran out of food miles from Antigua. That proved | :02:30. | :02:34. | |
difficult. I found what it was like to be starving. It was good | :02:35. | :02:39. | |
character building. I got hit by waves the size of buildings. Things | :02:40. | :02:44. | |
broke on the boat. That is what it is all about. Your next challenge | :02:45. | :02:54. | |
was Everest? It was on May the 16th. I stood for 15 minutes on there. It | :02:55. | :02:58. | |
was a surreal experience. My brain was not working. There was so little | :02:59. | :03:05. | |
oxygen. There is so little altitude. It was difficult to breathe. I | :03:06. | :03:11. | |
realised I was only half way. I had to get back down. Then you took to | :03:12. | :03:19. | |
the roads in a cycling challenge, wearing all your kit? I only | :03:20. | :03:23. | |
finished 24 hours ago. I travelled through 20 different countries. I | :03:24. | :03:28. | |
spoke to young people in Scout groups and schools in almost every | :03:29. | :03:32. | |
country. I reached out to 10,000 young people. This was after a major | :03:33. | :03:36. | |
motorbike accident, where doctors said you may not walk? I remember it | :03:37. | :03:46. | |
clearly. It was quite a big accident. I came off my bike at 100 | :03:47. | :03:55. | |
mph. I was in hospital for a while. It proves that if you are | :03:56. | :03:58. | |
determined, you can reach your dreams? There is nothing you can't | :03:59. | :04:05. | |
do, but you have to want to do it. My advise is to just do, not think. | :04:06. | :04:09. | |
Once you take that first step, the rest is easy. Thank you very much. | :04:10. | :04:16. | |
Head to the Newsround website to see some amazing photos from James' | :04:17. | :04:18. | |
adventures. Think you're a Newsround super-fan? Then try our quiz all | :04:19. | :04:22. | |
about the week's top stories. And check out the weirdest videos of the | :04:23. | :04:26. | |
week too. Next - to what's often called the | :04:27. | :04:29. | |
greatest show on earth! Later tonight, around a billion people | :04:30. | :04:32. | |
round the world will tune in to watch The Super Bowl, the biggest | :04:33. | :04:35. | |
game in American football. Tonight's big match will pit the Denver | :04:36. | :04:39. | |
Broncos against the Seattle Seahawks but the Super Bowl is almost as much | :04:40. | :04:42. | |
about the half time entertainment as the football. This year, Bruno Mars | :04:43. | :04:47. | |
is perfoming, last year it was Beyonce. And watching the game | :04:48. | :04:51. | |
certainly makes you hungry. It's thought over one billion chicken | :04:52. | :04:54. | |
wings will be eaten in that time, as well as 48 million pizzas! | :04:55. | :04:59. | |
So who's going to win? Tricky question. Better ask a panda! This | :05:00. | :05:06. | |
is Luh Luh the panda at Memphis Zoo in America. He was given the choice | :05:07. | :05:09. | |
between the two teams. Thought about it for a minute or two. And went for | :05:10. | :05:13. | |
the Denver Broncos. He tore down the Broncos orange banner and rolled | :05:14. | :05:16. | |
around in it, which seems pretty definite!. Make sure you're watching | :05:17. | :05:19. | |
Newsround tomorrow morning, to see if he got it right! | :05:20. | :05:22. | |
So from superbowl predicting Pandas - to an elephant with a new name. | :05:23. | :05:26. | |
Yep seven weeks after being born keepers at Melbourne Zoo decided | :05:27. | :05:29. | |
this asian baby elephant suited the name Man Jai meaning confident in | :05:30. | :05:35. | |
Thai. Zoo keepers agreed it was a perfect fit because he's already | :05:36. | :05:38. | |
showing signs he'll be a great leader. | :05:39. | :05:42. | |
That's all I've got time for this Sunday afternoon. But Newsround is | :05:43. | :05:46. | |
back bright and early in the morning - Ricky will be right here to bring | :05:47. | :05:50. | |
you up to date with all the top stories from around the world. Have | :05:51. | :05:55. | |
a great afternoon whatever you're doing. I'll see you soon. | :05:56. | :06:01. |
