Martin here with your Newsround update this Monday. | :00:00. | :00:08. | |
Surf's up for these dogs in Australia. | :00:09. | :00:13. | |
And hundreds of chefs create this record-breaking feast. | :00:14. | :00:26. | |
They say dogs are man's best friend but on Middle Island in Australia, | :00:27. | :00:32. | |
dogs and penguins are even closer than that. | :00:33. | :00:35. | |
Some specially trained Maremma dogs have the job of protecting local | :00:36. | :00:38. | |
These guys have a very important job to do. They protect the Penguins. | :00:39. | :00:52. | |
They are called little penguins and are the smallest in the world. Foxes | :00:53. | :00:56. | |
have been attacking the colony, living on the middle Island in | :00:57. | :00:59. | |
Australia for years. The problem became so bad in 2006 that there | :01:00. | :01:04. | |
were only ten penguins left. Then a local chicken farmer came up with an | :01:05. | :01:10. | |
idea to use his Maremma dogs that protect his chickens to protect the | :01:11. | :01:14. | |
Penguins. The thin story is that the Penguins are just chickens in dinner | :01:15. | :01:19. | |
suits. So we have trained them to take care of the Penguins. The two | :01:20. | :01:28. | |
dogs started work. Over the last ten years, they have done a fantastic | :01:29. | :01:32. | |
job. Penguin numbers on the island are now more than 180 but lately | :01:33. | :01:36. | |
they have been getting too old for fox chasing, so now there are new | :01:37. | :01:40. | |
recruits. It will take a lot of training to get him up to speed, but | :01:41. | :01:43. | |
it should prove to be worth the effort. Imagine made in heaven. -- a | :01:44. | :01:48. | |
match made. The World Track Cycling | :01:49. | :01:49. | |
Championships finished yesterday with Great Britain at the top | :01:50. | :01:51. | |
of the medal table. Sir Chris Hoy sent Newsround his | :01:52. | :01:53. | |
highlights of the event. We are there at the London Olympic | :01:54. | :02:02. | |
velodrome, the site of the fantastic 2012 Olympic Games. It has been the | :02:03. | :02:06. | |
world track cycling Championships this week. Great Britain have | :02:07. | :02:09. | |
historically been strong in this sport. They have struggled a little | :02:10. | :02:14. | |
bit in the last years but they have got back to their very best. We have | :02:15. | :02:19. | |
seen Jason Kenny winning his first world title for nearly three years. | :02:20. | :02:25. | |
Laura Trott has been outstanding in the team pursuit and the scratch | :02:26. | :02:31. | |
race. Bradley Wiggins is back in the track team with Mark Cavendish for | :02:32. | :02:34. | |
the first time in many years. It is going to be a fantastic few months | :02:35. | :02:39. | |
leading up to the Olympic Games in real. We are keeping our fingers | :02:40. | :02:44. | |
crossed that Great Britain will dominate, as they have done in the | :02:45. | :02:48. | |
last two Olympic Games. Hopefully this will inspire you to get out on | :02:49. | :02:56. | |
your bikes and right. Cheer on your favourite stars when you watch them | :02:57. | :02:57. | |
on TV at the Olympic Games. After this weekend's fixtures | :02:58. | :02:59. | |
in the Premier League, Leicester City are five points clear | :03:00. | :03:05. | |
at the top of the table. So we've been asking | :03:06. | :03:07. | |
you whether you think Dasha, who's 12 and from | :03:08. | :03:09. | |
London agrees. Nine year-old Jamie from Methley | :03:10. | :03:21. | |
doesn't think the foxes have got It sounds like an idea | :03:22. | :03:23. | |
from the distant future, but driverless lorries could be | :03:24. | :03:32. | |
making an appearance on our roads The government is expected to agree | :03:33. | :03:35. | |
plans for testing the new The vehicles would use cameras | :03:36. | :03:41. | |
and radars to help them avoid other road users and a human driver | :03:42. | :03:45. | |
would be present too. A similar scheme has already | :03:46. | :03:48. | |
been tested in Germany. Stargazers across the country | :03:49. | :03:53. | |
were treated to a dazzling display Known as the aurora borealis, | :03:54. | :03:55. | |
it was visible in Scotland and Northern Ireland, | :03:56. | :04:00. | |
but also spotted as far south as Anglesey in Wales and Oxfordshire | :04:01. | :04:04. | |
in England, painting the night sky with shades of green, | :04:05. | :04:07. | |
purple and blue. If you're feeling hungry, | :04:08. | :04:15. | |
this might get your mouth watering. It's a world record | :04:16. | :04:17. | |
breaking amount of food. This traditional spicy Mexican pork | :04:18. | :04:19. | |
dish took more than 200 And I'm sure a whole | :04:20. | :04:21. | |
lot of people to eat. Before we go, take a look | :04:22. | :04:28. | |
at these talented pooches. These pets and their owners | :04:29. | :04:32. | |
