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 | :07:46. | :07:51. |
