This is Newsround on Saturday!

I'm Ricky, live on CBBC.

Coming up...

Stunning close ups of pluto.

And Dippy, the 20 year-old penguin, is on the move. -- Pluto.

First to India, where power is returning to most parts

of the southern city of Chennai, following devastating flooding.

A massive operation is underway to try to get food and medicines to

the thousands of people affected.

The rains were the heaviest for 100 years.

Here's the BBC's reporter in Chennai, Sanjoy Majumder.

This is one of the worst affected areas.

And, with the rain still coming down, the

water levels are still quite high.

A community of 6,000 people live here, mostly shoemakers by trade

and only one third of them have been moved to a camp nearby.

The rest are still here.

They say no government aid has reached him, no army rescue

teams have visited them.

They have been left to their own devices

and the good will of volunteers.

Back here in the UK, Storm Desmond is causing flooding in parts of

Cumbria and Scotland.

Roads have been closed and people have been told check

its safe before travelling.

The rain is expected to continue for the rest of the day across

North-West England and Scotland.

NASA's New Horizons space probe has sent back the most detailed images

of Pluto that anyone has ever seen.

The super-sharp pictures gives scientists clear views of

mountains, craters and smooth ice fields on the planet.

NASA will try to launch its orbital rocket again today.

High winds meant they had to cancel the planned launch yesterday.

It's carrying supplies for astronauts living on board

the international space station.

The UK is home to more than 200 different species of bird,

but it's getting harder for many of them to survive here.

Jenny's been finding out which of these birds are

on the endangered list.

Unfortunately, for some of our favourite birds, this latest report

by bird charities and conservation groups is not great news.

The puffin that nests in the coastlines and islands

in areas all over the UK is at risk, because of climate change.

As the sea warms up, the fish they feed on are travelling

further north to cold waters,

putting them out of the puffins' reach, which means they don't have

enough food to feed their chicks,

Other birds which aren't doing well are curlews.

This is because the habitats where they nest

and the wetlands where they feed are not being looked after properly.

Some of the birds we see in our back gardens are at risk.

Many people aren't growing the sort of flowers

and plants that insects live on.

This then means that there aren't enough bugs

for many garden birds to feed on.

It's not all doom and gloom, though.

Some birds are doing really well, thanks to efforts by charities

like the RSPB.

You might see the red kite soaring over fields

and gardens looking for food.

It's doing brilliantly, thanks to special efforts over

the years to reintroduce them into different parts of the UK.

So, fingers crossed, there's still hope for the rest

of our beautiful British birds.

For you chocolate lovers, what could be better than this?

This London company scans your face in full

and then prints it using a 3D printer.

They make a mould, pour the chocolate in and leave it

to set, then there you have it.

Why not lick your own face?

A penguin with special needs has moved to a new home in Norfolk

after his sanctuary shut.

Dippy lives with a condition called arthritis

that causes pain in his joints.

He's moved with 10 other humbolt penguins to the east of England.

His new home already has a specially adapted pool to help him out.

We heard Dippy had some problems with arthritis in his hips

and we used to have an arthritic penguin, Lola, who used

to live here many years ago.

So we have some experience with that.

And, luckily, we've got this ramp already built into our pool, which

helps birds like Dippy and Lola to walk into the pool, rather than

having to jump up onto the rocks, like all our other penguins do.

It's the 5th December today, and day five of our advent calendar.

This week it's all about your Christmas traditions.

Hello, I'm Katie from the CBBC office

and I'm the biggest Christmas fan in the world.

I've got loads of Christmas traditions, like going ice-skating,

getting new pyjamas to wear Christmas Eve, waking everybody up

very early in the morning on Christmas Day to open presents.

And, of course, wearing lots of ridiculous headbands

and hats and things like that. Like this one.

It's not just us at Newsround catching the Christmas bug.

Oh, no.

Check out this real-life advent calendar.

Doors are being swung open all over Winchester in South West England,

but, instead of chocolate inside, visitors are able to watch

performances.

24 doors will open over 24 days, hosting 24 different events.

So what do some of the visitors make of it?

What did you think of that?

Really enjoyed it. I really enjoyed the singing.

I think it was really good.

I bet you've got an advent calendar at home.

Yeah. How does it compare to the one at home?

Well, it's different, because you actually go into the door

and you don't get any chocolate.

This may be one of the most unusual friendships

we've ever seen on Newsround.

Timur the goat was released into a tiger's enclosure

at a Russian safari park.

Instead of being eaten for dinner,

Timur made friends with the hungry tiger.

And now the pair are living side by side, with Timur even sleeping

in the big cat's bed, leaving him out in the cold.

That's all from the Newsround team for today.

We'll be back tomorrow morning at 9:55am,

with all of your top stories.

See you then.
