It's a good day for Wazza in the Cup! | :00:13. | :00:15. | |
We meet the gamers taking on this virtual circuit. | :00:16. | :00:26. | |
First up, today the last orca show will take place at SeaWorld | :00:27. | :00:30. | |
The company has faced a lot of criticism over the last few years | :00:31. | :00:36. | |
about the treatment and welfare of its killer whales. | :00:37. | :00:38. | |
Graceful, powerful and intelligent - we're talking about orcas, or killer | :00:39. | :00:46. | |
For many years these whales have performed in shows across America | :00:47. | :00:52. | |
at amusement parks run by the company SeaWorld. | :00:53. | :00:57. | |
In 2015, Californian authorities banned SeaWorld from breeding | :00:58. | :01:07. | |
And, after a lot of pressure from celebrities and animal rights | :01:08. | :01:13. | |
groups, in 2016 SeaWorld announced they were putting an end | :01:14. | :01:16. | |
to killer whale performance shows in their parks. | :01:17. | :01:18. | |
This weekend marks the final show at one of those parks | :01:19. | :01:20. | |
SeaWorld currently has killer whale shows at two other parks in America, | :01:21. | :01:25. | |
in Texas and Florida, but they will be | :01:26. | :01:28. | |
Instead of performing tricks, the whales will now be used to help | :01:29. | :01:35. | |
Animal rights groups have praised SeaWorld for making positive steps | :01:36. | :01:41. | |
in the right direction, but some still think more can be | :01:42. | :01:43. | |
done to help protect the animals' welfare. | :01:44. | :01:46. | |
Some are suggesting the whales should be moved to sanctuaries | :01:47. | :01:51. | |
by the sea, where they can live in an environment closer to that | :01:52. | :01:54. | |
The fight for killer whale rights seems set | :01:55. | :01:58. | |
to continue into the future, but things are definitely changing | :01:59. | :02:01. | |
Well, the FA Cup is in full swing this weekend, and the big news | :02:02. | :02:14. | |

New knight Sir Andy saved three match points in the second set, | :02:45. | :02:49. | |
but eventually lost out to the man he knocked off the world number one | :02:50. | :02:53. | |
Both now head off for the Australian Open, | :02:54. | :02:57. | |
the year's first Grand Slam, which starts in a week. | :02:58. | :03:01. | |
Next to China, where a thick fog of pollution in capital Beijing has | :03:02. | :03:06. | |
got so bad a team of special police have been set up to stamp it out. | :03:07. | :03:10. | |
The mist, called smog, has finally cleared after two weeks, | :03:11. | :03:13. | |
but it's many say it's the worst ever seen. | :03:14. | :03:15. | |
Sophie lives there and she sent us this report. | :03:16. | :03:19. | |
Hi, my name is Sophie and I live in Beijing. | :03:20. | :03:25. | |
In my city we have a lot of smog, also known as pollution. | :03:26. | :03:31. | |
When pollution gets bad, I can't go outside as much as I usually do. | :03:32. | :03:40. | |
But if I need to go shopping or to my friend's house, | :03:41. | :03:43. | |
I wear one of these - called a pollution mask. | :03:44. | :03:45. | |
I have one at my house, but there are loads at my school. | :03:46. | :04:01. | |
This means I can go to school on high pollution days. | :04:02. | :04:04. | |
Do you know when you can't go outside to play | :04:05. | :04:06. | |
It's like that in Beijing, just it is pollution instead. | :04:07. | :04:10. | |
I lived here for eight years and this is some of the worst | :04:11. | :04:14. | |
