Hello, you're watching Newsround this Wednesday morning, | :00:07. | :00:13. | |
Great news for the world's rarest big cat and could Rio's stinky water | :00:14. | :00:18. | |
So, we are two days from the official start | :00:19. | :00:30. | |
of the Rio Olympic Games, but there's already some | :00:31. | :00:33. | |
There are some women's football matches happening later - | :00:34. | :00:38. | |
Sweden are first in action when they take on South Africa | :00:39. | :00:42. | |
in the Olympic Stadium. The men's games start tomorrow. | :00:43. | :00:46. | |
And over the next couple of weeks we are going to see the world's best | :00:47. | :00:49. | |
And this Olympics you need to look out for some new faces - | :00:50. | :00:55. | |
because there's a whole new team taking part - Jenny has more. | :00:56. | :00:58. | |
Two weeks, 42 sports, 206 countries competing in the world's | :00:59. | :01:03. | |
Rio 2016 kicks off this week, but this year there's a new team | :01:04. | :01:10. | |
For the first time, a team of ten refugees have been selected | :01:11. | :01:15. | |
Refugees are people who have had to leave their own countries | :01:16. | :01:21. | |
Athletes from the team are hoping to inspire others like them. | :01:22. | :01:29. | |
For the refugees in Brazil and all the refugees around the world, we | :01:30. | :01:37. | |
are going to represent you guys in a really good picture and I hope | :01:38. | :01:41. | |
everyone will continue to achieve their dreams. | :01:42. | :01:43. | |
The refugees will take part in three sports - | :01:44. | :01:45. | |
They'll compete under the Olympic flag and that symbol will be next | :01:46. | :01:50. | |
to their names in competitions, rather | :01:51. | :01:52. | |
They'll also be taking part in the opening ceremony, | :01:53. | :01:57. | |
marching in front of host country Brazil. | :01:58. | :02:01. | |
For many years, they have been here and nobody told us that we could be | :02:02. | :02:12. | |
given that opportunity. The athletes and Olympic | :02:13. | :02:14. | |
organisers hope that by taking part in the Games, | :02:15. | :02:17. | |
they can be a symbol of hope and highlight the problems faced | :02:18. | :02:20. | |
by refugees around the world. But while the Rio makes its final | :02:21. | :02:24. | |
preparations for the games, one of the biggest challenges it | :02:25. | :02:26. | |
faces is a stinky problem in Brazil's waterways. | :02:27. | :02:30. | |
Here's Naz. This is Guanabara Bay, | :02:31. | :02:33. | |
where Olympic events like sailing will be taking place. | :02:34. | :02:37. | |
But take a closer look. Rubbish like bags and bottles, | :02:38. | :02:40. | |
as well as sewage are making Polluted water has been a problem | :02:41. | :02:43. | |
in Rio for a long time, because of poor conditions in areas | :02:44. | :02:49. | |
where lots of people live. Sewage and waste run into rivers, | :02:50. | :02:54. | |
and into the sea. When Rio won the right to host | :02:55. | :02:58. | |
the 2016 games they promised to sort But with days to go, | :02:59. | :03:02. | |
some scientists are worried about the bad water quality - | :03:03. | :03:08. | |
and that it could make athletes ill. who come into contact with this | :03:09. | :03:22. | |
water will get infected, TRANSLATION: Basically, | :03:23. | :03:25. | |
almost 100% of the people who come into contact with this | :03:26. | :03:26. | |
water will get infected, but only some of those | :03:27. | :03:29. | |
people will get sick, because it depends on how good | :03:30. | :03:31. | |
their body is at fighting disease. Team GB say that they're not | :03:32. | :03:34. | |
too worried - they have rules to keep them safe, | :03:35. | :03:36. | |
including strict cleaning routines every time they've | :03:37. | :03:38. | |
been in the water - and other athletes | :03:39. | :03:40. | |
are doing the same. I'm | :03:41. | :03:42. | |
not really worried about getting sick because I'm washing my | :03:43. | :03:45. | |
sailing clothes after I'm very careful on the water | :03:46. | :03:47. | |
that I don't swallow it. made ill by the water, | :03:48. | :03:56. | |
