I am Ayshah, with your window on the world. | :00:07. | :00:09. | |
The little whale getting his mum out of trouble. | :00:10. | :00:25. | |
The storm has affected the Caribeean islan of Haiti the most. | :00:26. | :00:29. | |
I have been looking into what has happened | :00:30. | :00:31. | |
It is one of the coastal towns in Haiti that has been cut off | :00:32. | :00:45. | |
The south part of the island has been the worst affected. | :00:46. | :00:49. | |
As rescue teams reach more parts of the country, | :00:50. | :00:51. | |
it is estimated that nearly 900 people have died. | :00:52. | :00:56. | |
It is not the first time Haiti has been affected by a natural disaster. | :00:57. | :00:59. | |
In 2010, a massive earthquake struck the country and killed more | :01:00. | :01:02. | |
So, why do things like this keep happening to Haiti? | :01:03. | :01:16. | |
For Haiti, as a poor country, they have got | :01:17. | :01:18. | |
rid of a lot of their trees on the mountains, | :01:19. | :01:21. | |
so all the rain water comes down into the settlements below, | :01:22. | :01:23. | |
Because they are poorer than their neighbours in the | :01:24. | :01:27. | |
Dominican Republic, the structures in Haiti are not quite as good, | :01:28. | :01:30. | |
so the houses start being destroyed when you get these very strong winds | :01:31. | :01:33. | |
from tropical storms and hurricanes, as they move in. | :01:34. | :01:36. | |
Haiti is very poor, so buildings and things like water | :01:37. | :01:39. | |
and electricity supplies get badly damaged, because they are not | :01:40. | :01:41. | |
built strong enough to stand up to big storms. | :01:42. | :01:43. | |
And many people do not have enough money to repair their homes. | :01:44. | :01:46. | |
It means they are going to need a lot of help from other | :01:47. | :01:49. | |
countries and charities to rebuild their lives. | :01:50. | :01:57. | |
The latest on the hurricane is that it has weakened and is moving | :01:58. | :02:00. | |
near the coast of South Carolina in the United States. | :02:01. | :02:03. | |
But the storm has killed four people in Florida and knocked out power | :02:04. | :02:06. | |
There is tons of stuff at Newsround online about Hurricane Matthew, | :02:07. | :02:10. | |
including guides to different types of storms and, remember, | :02:11. | :02:12. | |
if you are upset by anything in the news, | :02:13. | :02:14. | |
there is plenty of help for you online. | :02:15. | :02:21. | |
Countries from around the world have been meeting in South Africa, | :02:22. | :02:23. | |
to decide how to protect endangered animals, like elephants. | :02:24. | :02:25. | |
Jenny is there and she has visited a school near to lots of nature | :02:26. | :02:29. | |
reserves where elephants live, to find out what it is like growing | :02:30. | :02:32. | |
up so close to these amazing creatures. | :02:33. | :02:36. | |
In Afrikaans, "olifant" means elephant. | :02:37. | :02:39. | |
Some of their classes are taken outside and | :02:40. | :02:56. | |
a lot of the lessons learn about animals. | :02:57. | :02:58. | |
And even thir awards have a bit of a theme. | :02:59. | :03:06. | |
The school is only 20 minutes away from nature reserves | :03:07. | :03:09. | |
and loads of incredible animals, including elephants, | :03:10. | :03:11. | |
It is not just the children here who are | :03:12. | :03:14. | |
They are very popular around the world, | :03:15. | :03:24. | |
including this school in the United Kingdom. | :03:25. | :03:26. | |
They have even named their class after them. | :03:27. | :03:27. | |
And they have got some big questions for the children living in | :03:28. | :03:31. | |
What is it like living near elephants? | :03:32. | :03:34. | |
It is nice because you get to see them a lot and you get to | :03:35. | :03:38. | |
It is just nice being around them and you can often | :03:39. | :03:42. | |
hear them communicating with each other. | :03:43. | :03:43. | |
It is actually very cool, unless they start to wreck through | :03:44. | :03:46. | |
How do elephants show their feelings? | :03:47. | :03:51. | |
It is noises and rumbling and also body language. | :03:52. | :03:54. | |
When an elephant is angry or scared, it's tail will go up like this. | :03:55. | :04:15. | |
I am very upset that elephants are hunted. How does that make you feel? | :04:16. | :04:26. | |
We are very upset about it. All these people really want are the | :04:27. | :04:33. | |
tasks, because they use it to get the ivory. You are killing and in | :04:34. | :04:40. | |
danger animal. It makes me feel sad and very angry at the same time. I | :04:41. | :04:48. | |
love elephants and I love her room important they are to the | :04:49. | :04:49. | |
environment. I love watching them. A baby whale helped out its mum, | :04:50. | :04:54. | |

insects are part of daily meals. Some people argue they are better | :05:14. | :05:15. | |
