Hello, everyone.

0:00:030:00:04

I'm Leah live with your Bank Holiday Monday update.

0:00:040:00:07

Keep it Newsround for the next five for some of this.

0:00:070:00:12

The moment rescued lions start their new life in South Africa.

0:00:120:00:15

And the racers mowing for gold.

0:00:160:00:20

First, could Leicester City be about to win the Premier League

0:00:270:00:30

for the very first time?

0:00:300:00:30

They edged closer after a 1-1 draw against Manchester United on Sunday,

0:00:320:00:35

leaving them just two points from the title.

0:00:350:00:39

Here's what their fans had to say after the match.

0:00:390:00:42

When Manchester United scored, I was like, "This is it,

0:00:440:00:46

"we are all done for," and then a couple of minutes later,

0:00:460:00:49

Leicester City scored, I kind of like did a couple

0:00:490:00:51

of fist bumps.

0:00:510:00:53

The start of the second half, it was great because Leicester

0:00:530:00:56

opened up and they did lots and lots of shots.

0:00:560:00:59

I think a lot about the draw because it's Man United

0:00:590:01:02

and they're a really good team.

0:01:020:01:04

It's a good result because we've still got two

0:01:040:01:06

matches to go to get it.

0:01:060:01:08

I think Leicester's definitely going to win the league.

0:01:080:01:12

Leicester fans will be watching from behind the sofa tonight

0:01:120:01:14

as second-placed Tottenham face Chelsea.

0:01:140:01:17

Tottenham must win to keep their title hopes alive.

0:01:170:01:19

If they don't, then Leicester will be crowned Premier

0:01:190:01:21

League champions.

0:01:210:01:23

But Spurs' manager says his team are ready.

0:01:230:01:28

It's football.

0:01:280:01:30

I am sure they want to win us and we want to win

0:01:300:01:40

and get the three points, only it's a game.

0:01:410:01:43

I'm sure that we fight a lot, but nothing special.

0:01:430:01:47

Dozens of lions rescued from circuses in Colombia and Peru

0:01:470:01:50

in South America have been airlifted to a wildlife sanctuary

0:01:500:01:52

in South Africa.

0:01:520:01:54

It was an epic journey by plane and truck for the lions who have

0:01:540:01:57

spent their entire lives living in captivity,

0:01:570:02:00

until now.

0:02:000:02:02

LION YAWNS.

0:02:080:02:12

LION ROARS.

0:02:120:02:19

Zeus the lion is setting his paws on African soil for the first time.

0:02:190:02:22

He's one of 33 big cats to arrive at their new home after a two-day

0:02:220:02:26

journey from South America.

0:02:260:02:29

These lions were bred in captivity and spent their lives working

0:02:290:02:31

in circuses in Peru and Columbia, where they were not always treated

0:02:310:02:35

well, but once animal circuses became illegal there,

0:02:350:02:41

charities were able to fight to get them released.

0:02:410:02:44

These animals have never, until today, walked on grass

0:02:440:02:48

and soil, so it's really magical.

0:02:480:02:52

Everything we've tried to do with this project is give these

0:02:520:02:54

lions back the life that was stolen from them for years with these cruel

0:02:540:02:59

travelling circuses.

0:02:590:03:02

Although these lions will never be able to live in the wild

0:03:020:03:05

after what happened to them, it already looks like they are at home

0:03:050:03:09

in their new habitat, and it's here where vets will be

0:03:090:03:12

able to keep close eye on the group.

0:03:120:03:15

This is the adaption time, which is the most crucial.

0:03:150:03:18

They come from a completely different continent so they need

0:03:180:03:21

to be monitored quite closely.

0:03:210:03:23

Although these lions didn't have the best start to life, they'll

0:03:230:03:26

now be able to enjoy their new home, and that means play fighting

0:03:260:03:30

and what all big cats love, a good scratch.

0:03:300:03:36

Now, it's Bank Holiday Monday, which means an extra day of weekend

0:03:380:03:41

fun, for most of you at least.

0:03:410:03:44

You've been in touch online all day letting us know what you're up to.

0:03:440:03:48

Suzie in Ash Vale says she's off trampoling with her brother

0:03:480:03:51

and can't wait to bounce around.

0:03:510:03:54

But for Form 6NW at Foremarke Hall in Derbyshire, it's just

0:03:540:03:56

another school day!

0:03:560:04:01

Meanwhile Hannah is off on a visit to her grandparents in Eastbourne

0:04:040:04:07

with her cousins.

0:04:070:04:08

She's hoping they're going to be staying up late.

0:04:080:04:11

And Charlotte says she's spending her Bank Holiday Monday in hospital,

0:04:110:04:15

but it means she can watch CBBC all day!

0:04:150:04:18

Great choice, Charlotte, and thanks everyone for your

0:04:180:04:20

brilliant comments today.

0:04:200:04:23

Next to the music fans set a new world record.

0:04:230:04:26

Making history - more than 7,000 guitarists played the same song

0:04:260:04:29

at the same time at a square in Southern Poland this week.

0:04:290:04:35

Last up, Lawnmower racing.

0:04:350:04:37

Take a look at this.

0:04:370:04:38

It's been a sport for more than 40 years, and the 2016 season has just

0:04:380:04:41

kicked off in Surrey with some serious power.

0:04:410:04:44

Blades are removed make it safer, and teams are allowed minor changes

0:04:440:04:47

to their mowers for extra speed.

0:04:470:04:52

That's all from me.

0:04:520:04:53

Newsround's back right here tomorrow morning just after 7:30am.
