Hi there. Sonali here - flying solo in the studio for the next couple

:00:19.:00:22.

of days. Team Newsround has put together a cracking show for you

:00:22.:00:26.

tonight. Coming up - why exotic pets could be bad news for British

:00:26.:00:29.

wildlife. And, we look back at the history of TV, including what

:00:29.:00:37.

Newsround used to look like back in the day. Before all that, we're

:00:37.:00:40.

waiting to hear if three Pakistani cricketers will be sent to prison

:00:40.:00:43.

for cheating in a Test match against England. Former captain

:00:43.:00:46.

Salman Butt and fast bowler Mohammad Asif were found guilty of

:00:46.:00:48.

deliberately making mistakes at certain times during the match at

:00:48.:00:54.

Lord's last summer. Mohammad Amir, in the middle here, who was 18 when

:00:55.:01:02.

the scam took place, admitted cheating. It looks like just an

:01:02.:01:05.

ordinary cricket match. When members of the Pakistan team

:01:05.:01:09.

deliver three no-balls, it seemed they were simple mistakes. In fact,

:01:09.:01:14.

it was all part of a secret scam. When you bowl, you're not allowed

:01:14.:01:18.

to step over a certain line. If you do, the umpire calls a no-ball.

:01:18.:01:21.

It's usually a mistake. However, captain Salman Butt, his bowlers

:01:21.:01:24.

Mohammad Amir and Mohammad Asif ,had plotted exactly when to bowl a

:01:24.:01:32.

no-ball. That meant people in on the scam could bet money on when

:01:32.:01:38.

the mistakes would happen and get it right every time. But the

:01:38.:01:41.

players got caught. An undercover reporter secretly filmed a meeting

:01:41.:01:44.

with their agent, where the reporter offered him thousands of

:01:44.:01:47.

pounds to help fix the match. The players have already been banned

:01:47.:01:52.

from international cricket for at least five years. In Pakistan, some

:01:52.:01:55.

cricketers are superstars and national heroes - a bit like how

:01:55.:02:00.

footballers are seen over here. People are now saying the scam has

:02:00.:02:03.

shamed cricket for Pakistan. But former England cricket captain,

:02:03.:02:09.

Michael Vaughan, thinks some good can come out of what's happened.

:02:09.:02:15.

For the good of the game and the future, I would pleased it was

:02:15.:02:20.

exposed, because I hope it sends a message to the world game and to

:02:20.:02:22.

players who would contemplate this, that you are not going to get away

:02:22.:02:32.
:02:32.:02:34.

with it. That's what former England captain Michael Vaughan thinks and

:02:34.:02:37.

lots of you have been telling us what you think. On the Newsround

:02:37.:02:40.

website, we've been asking - should sports cheats be banned for life?

:02:40.:02:43.

10-year-old Ada says, "I think they should be banned for life. What

:02:43.:02:46.

they did is really bad". Arooba, who's 13, reckons the most suitable

:02:46.:02:49.

punishment for sport cheats would be money - a fine of �100,000 or

:02:49.:02:52.

more. And 12-year-old Hannah says they should be banned for life,

:02:52.:02:55.

since they really bent the rules. Thanks for all your comments. The

:02:55.:02:58.

world's most famous footballer has been talking about how much he'd

:02:58.:03:01.

love to play for Team GB at the London Olympics. David Beckham has

:03:01.:03:04.

been playing in America for the past couple of years, but says a

:03:04.:03:07.

place in the 2012 squad would be brilliant. We all dream it and

:03:07.:03:12.

think about it. If it happens, then I would be honoured. I'm still a

:03:12.:03:16.

kid when it comes to leading my country, or playing for my country.

:03:16.:03:20.

We have got lots of flashing pictures from Denmark, because

:03:20.:03:24.

Prince William and Kate Middleton are there helping pack up food

:03:24.:03:29.

parcels to send to kids in Somalia. It's thought around 13 million

:03:29.:03:33.

people are affected by famine. People have perhaps lost track of

:03:33.:03:38.

the terrible situation, so I think this hopefully will put the light

:03:38.:03:41.

this hopefully will put the light this hopefully will put the light

:03:41.:03:43.

back on this crisis. dogs

:03:43.:03:49.

dogs and cats and hamsters, because animals like meerkats and racoons

:03:49.:03:52.

are becoming more popular to keep at home, but this has got people

:03:52.:03:59.

worried. Meerkats in their native habitat of southern Africa.

:03:59.:04:04.

Thousands of miles away from your livingroom or back garden, but they

:04:04.:04:09.

are among the exotic species that are catching on. Michelle runs a

:04:09.:04:13.

company that specialises in breeding and selling animals not

:04:13.:04:21.

usually found in this country like exunkes and racoons. She -- skunks

:04:21.:04:27.

and racoons. She needs a special licence, but people who don't --

:04:27.:04:31.

but people who buy pets from her don't. Some think this could

:04:31.:04:37.

threaten speeb she's who live here by competing for food and --

:04:37.:04:42.

species who live here by competing for good and habitats. One example

:04:42.:04:47.

of the American mink. When some escaped it caused big problems for

:04:47.:04:51.

local wildlife. Water vole numbers dropped massively because of the

:04:51.:04:55.

invasion and even now a project is going on to remove them from

:04:55.:04:59.

Scotland. Michelle says she is very careful about who she sells a new

:04:59.:05:04.

pet to and does proper checks on everyone. You are never going to

:05:04.:05:07.

stop people keeping exotic, so I feel if I police it then some of

:05:07.:05:11.

the animals are getting all of their needs met. Experts want more

:05:11.:05:16.

to be done. The problem is, it's not people who are responsible, but

:05:16.:05:20.

people who are irresponsible. The potential for the animals to

:05:20.:05:25.

establish here and then have a profound implications for native

:05:25.:05:30.

species is very worrying. Even though it's against the law to

:05:30.:05:35.

release them into the British wild, some think it's an accident waiting

:05:35.:05:39.

to happen. A little behind-the- scenes action now, because we are

:05:39.:05:49.

going to talk TV. It wasn't always like it is now. The BBC only

:05:49.:05:53.

started regular broadcasts 75 years ago today. We have been looking

:05:53.:06:01.

back at the history of TV. The moment TV first began. The BBC

:06:01.:06:04.

broadcast the first TV programme from the studios at Alexandra

:06:04.:06:09.

Palace in London. The picture was black and white and the programme

:06:09.:06:16.

was this. # A mighty place... # Back then,

:06:16.:06:20.

there weren't many people watching. TVs were so expensive they were

:06:20.:06:25.

about the price of a car, so only about 300 people owned them. These

:06:25.:06:29.

days, we have loads of channels to choose from and even if you miss

:06:29.:06:32.

your favourite programme, you can record it or watch it again on your

:06:32.:06:36.

computer or even your phone, but 75 years ago there was just one

:06:36.:06:41.

channel. It broadcast for two hours a day and not at all on Sundays.

:06:41.:06:45.

You had to wear formal costumes, so the men would wear dinner jackets

:06:45.:06:53.

and bow ties and the women, evening frocks. On top of it, they had to

:06:53.:06:58.

wear very heavy make-up. Blue lips and blue and black eyebrowse and

:06:58.:07:03.

very white make-up on your face and arms, because otherwise you

:07:03.:07:08.

wouldn't be visible, because the sets were basic. It took another

:07:08.:07:12.

ten years before the first programme for children aired. It

:07:12.:07:17.

featured this character - Muffin the Mule. Over the years, things

:07:17.:07:24.

have changed a lot. Hello. This is what Newsround looked like when

:07:24.:07:29.

your mum and dad were watching. Then nine years ago, the first

:07:29.:07:32.

children's channel launched, CBBC, showing children's programmes all

:07:32.:07:38.

day long. Who knows what we'll be watching in the future.

:07:38.:07:43.

Just before we go, gorgeous little leopard cubs being looked after at

:07:43.:07:46.

a centre in Cambodia, after being rescued from floods. They are being
