I'm Ayshah with the latest stories this Saturday. | :00:11. | :00:13. | |
First to Hurricane Matthew, the storm has affected the Caribbean | :00:14. | :00:16. | |
I've been looking into what's happened and what's | :00:17. | :00:20. | |
Medical help arrives. This is one of the coastal towns in Haiti that has | :00:21. | :00:39. | |
been cut off by the storm. The south part of the island has been the | :00:40. | :00:43. | |
worst affected. As rescue teams reach more parts of the country, it | :00:44. | :00:47. | |
is estimated that nearly 900 people have died. It's not the first time | :00:48. | :00:54. | |
Haiti has been affected by natural disaster. In 2010, a massive | :00:55. | :00:58. | |
earthquake struck the country and killed more than 220 thousand | :00:59. | :01:05. | |
people. So why do things like this keep happening to Haiti? Haiti, as a | :01:06. | :01:09. | |
For Haiti, as a poor country, they have got | :01:10. | :01:11. | |
rid of a lot of their trees on the mountains, | :01:12. | :01:14. | |
so all the rain water comes down into the settlements below, | :01:15. | :01:16. | |
Because they are poorer than their neighbours in the | :01:17. | :01:19. | |
Dominican Republic, the structures in Haiti are not quite as good, | :01:20. | :01:22. | |
so the houses start being destroyed when you get these very strong winds | :01:23. | :01:25. | |
from tropical storms and hurricanes, as they move in. | :01:26. | :01:31. | |
Haiti is very poor, so buildings and things like water and electricity | :01:32. | :01:36. | |
supplies get badly damaged because they're not ill strong enough to | :01:37. | :01:42. | |
stand up to big storms. And many people don't have enough money to | :01:43. | :01:45. | |
prepare their homes. It means they're going to need a lot of help | :01:46. | :01:48. | |
from other countries and charities to rebuild their lives. | :01:49. | :01:51. | |
The latest on the hurricane is that it's weakened to a category one | :01:52. | :01:54. | |
and is moving near the coast South Carolina in the US. | :01:55. | :01:57. | |
But the storm has killed four people in Florida and knocked out power | :01:58. | :02:00. | |
There's tons of stuff at Newsround online about Hurricane Matthew, | :02:01. | :02:04. | |
including guides to different types of storms and, remember, | :02:05. | :02:08. | |
if you're upset by anything in the news there's plenty | :02:09. | :02:10. | |
Next, if you're easily put off your lunch, look away now. | :02:11. | :02:18. | |
A bakery in Edinburgh is selling cakes made from insects. | :02:19. | :02:20. | |
They say they're better for you than traditional meat. | :02:21. | :02:22. | |
In many parts of the world insects are part of daily meals. | :02:23. | :02:25. | |
Some people argue they're better for the environment than farming | :02:26. | :02:28. | |
So what do these daring diners think of the bug bakes? | :02:29. | :02:45. | |
Is eating insects is a great idea or do you just think, "eurgh"? | :02:46. | :03:01. | |
Well, we've been asking you about this all day and Chelsea | :03:02. | :03:05. | |
in Norfolk says "That is gross." I think I agree! | :03:06. | :03:07. | |
Countries from around the world have been meeting in South Africa | :03:08. | :03:10. | |
to decide how to protect endangered animals like elephants. | :03:11. | :03:12. | |
Jenny was there, she's visited a school near to lots of nature | :03:13. | :03:15. | |
reserves where elephants live, to find out what it's like growing | :03:16. | :03:18. | |
up so close to these amazing creatures. | :03:19. | :03:19. | |
In Afrikaans, "olifant" means elephant. | :03:20. | :03:21. | |
Some of their classes are taken outside and | :03:22. | :03:38. | |
a lot of the lessons learn about animals. | :03:39. | :03:41. | |
And even their awards have a bit of a theme. | :03:42. | :03:44. | |
The school is only 20 minutes away from nature reserves | :03:45. | :03:46. | |
and loads of incredible animals, including elephants, | :03:47. | :03:51. | |
It is not just the children here who are | :03:52. | :03:56. | |
They are very popular around the world, | :03:57. | :04:00. | |
including this school in the United Kingdom. | :04:01. | :04:02. | |
They have even named their class after them. | :04:03. | :04:08. | |
And they have got some big questions for the children living in | :04:09. | :04:12. | |
What is it like living near elephants? | :04:13. | :04:16. | |
It is nice because you get to see them a lot and you get to | :04:17. | :04:19. | |
It is just nice being around them and you can often | :04:20. | :04:23. | |
hear them communicating with each other. | :04:24. | :04:25. | |
It is actually very cool, unless they start to wreck through | :04:26. | :04:28. | |
How do elephants show their feelings? | :04:29. | :04:32. | |
It is noises and rumbling and also body language. | :04:33. | :04:38. | |
When an elephant is angry or scared, it's tail will go up like this. | :04:39. | :04:43. | |
I am very upset that elephants are hunted. | :04:44. | :04:49. | |
All these people really want are the tasks, because they use | :04:50. | :04:57. | |
You are killing and in danger animal. | :04:58. | :05:04. | |
It makes me feel sad and very angry at the same time. | :05:05. | :05:08. | |
I love elephants and I love her room important they are to the | :05:09. | :05:11. | |
A baby whale has helped out its Mum when she got stuck on a sandbank | :05:12. | :05:35. | |
The calf pushed the adult whale, who then splashed | :05:36. | :05:39. | |
Mum and baby were then seen swimming off happily. | :05:40. | :05:46. | |
That's all from me, Newsround's back right here in about half an hour. | :05:47. | :05:55. |
