Jenny here, live with your last Newsround this Saturday. | :00:00. | :00:07. | |
How YOU can help scientists learn about penguins | :00:08. | :00:11. | |
Two friends were on a secret trip, through deepest space they flew... | :00:12. | :00:27. | |
How do you fancy getting involved with some Antarctic research? | :00:28. | :00:32. | |
That's what British scientists are asking kids like you to do. | :00:33. | :00:36. | |
They've set up a network of penguin monitoring cameras in Antarctica | :00:37. | :00:39. | |
BBC reporter Victoria Gill sent us this report. | :00:40. | :00:52. | |
Earlier this year, I joined a team of scientists in Antarctica, | :00:53. | :00:55. | |
where they have been setting up a network of remote cameras | :00:56. | :00:58. | |
Now the images those cameras have captured mean that you could | :00:59. | :01:01. | |
We are a very long way from Antarctica, but these children | :01:02. | :01:07. | |
Every penguin they click on and count on this website | :01:08. | :01:12. | |
will add to the database to help scientists with this | :01:13. | :01:14. | |
The results go to the scientists so they can work out how | :01:15. | :01:21. | |
It's kind of fun to be looking at penguins just from | :01:22. | :01:26. | |
the screen and seeing what they are actually doing. | :01:27. | :01:28. | |
And to be knowing that, like, we are saving them. | :01:29. | :01:31. | |
For a class like this, they could adopt their own colony. | :01:32. | :01:35. | |
They can follow it, learn it and they can learn | :01:36. | :01:38. | |
This is part of a large long-term penguin monitoring project, | :01:39. | :01:43. | |
and watching and counting the birds could reveal how threats | :01:44. | :01:47. | |
like pollution and climate change are affecting the icy environment | :01:48. | :01:50. | |
Well, BBC reporter Victoria Gill is making a documentary | :01:51. | :01:56. | |
all about Penguin Watch and has just got back from Antarctica - | :01:57. | :01:59. | |
What was it like filming in those freezing cold conditions? | :02:00. | :02:07. | |
It was very cold. We had to wear lots of clothing, but it was | :02:08. | :02:13. | |
absolutely beautiful. Lots of sunshine, perfect conditions. And it | :02:14. | :02:19. | |
wasn't just that, you were there with penguins. You are a penguin | :02:20. | :02:25. | |
fan. Who isn't a penguin fan? They are wonderful. You can apply human | :02:26. | :02:30. | |
characteristics to them. But they do smell really bad!. We were in the | :02:31. | :02:34. | |
penguin colonies where the team were setting up their cameras, but it | :02:35. | :02:41. | |
does really smell of rotting fish, which takes away their charm | :02:42. | :02:42. | |
somewhat. You watched the final | :02:43. | :02:43. | |
plans put in place - This is a huge deal for the | :02:44. | :02:52. | |
researchers. They have been working on it for six, seven years now. They | :02:53. | :02:57. | |
hitched a lift on a tour boat, because people go on holiday to | :02:58. | :03:00. | |
Antarctica now. They are setting up a network of cameras that will allow | :03:01. | :03:03. | |
them to watch over the penguins and work out what is causing declines. | :03:04. | :03:08. | |
Many species in Antarctica are in decline. Threadlike pollution and | :03:09. | :03:14. | |
climate change are affecting the population. Side is modified out | :03:15. | :03:17. | |
what is happening. So people can get online, look at the images and help | :03:18. | :03:24. | |
them work out what is going on. -- scientist wants to find out what is | :03:25. | :03:25. | |
happening. Three shipwrecked sailors have been | :03:26. | :03:27. | |
rescued from a remote island in the Pacific Ocean after a plane | :03:28. | :03:29. | |
spotted their message, reading HELP, spelt out in palm | :03:30. | :03:32. | |
branches on the beach. The group of men were | :03:33. | :03:34. | |
trying to reach a nearby but when they never arrived | :03:35. | :03:37. | |
Coast Guards were told about it. They spent three days on the island | :03:38. | :03:41. | |
before being rescued. It's the live final tonight, | :03:42. | :03:44. | |
and Ricky met up with finalist Kevin Simm to find out what life's | :03:45. | :03:50. | |
been like since he entered Kevin, the final is this weekend - | :03:51. | :03:53. | |
The Voice final. I didn't expect to get this far, | :03:54. | :04:01. | |
so it's just all been You were in a band when you were | :04:02. | :04:08. | |
younger called Liberty X. Do you think of those days | :04:09. | :04:13. | |
fondly at all? I look back at it all | :04:14. | :04:16. | |
with a lot of pride, and... Because the videos were different | :04:17. | :04:21. | |
to the kind of videos you see today. You look at yourself and you think, | :04:22. | :04:28. | |
oh, I shouldn't have worn that, or I should have gone to the gym | :04:29. | :04:31. | |
a bit more, and things like that. But no, I mean, it was an amazing | :04:32. | :04:35. | |
experience, and you know, Have you enjoyed actually | :04:36. | :04:37. | |
singing live again? The experience of it | :04:38. | :04:42. | |
all has been brilliant, because the place is buzzing, | :04:43. | :04:44. | |
and obviously I get on very well with all the other | :04:45. | :04:46. | |
contestants as well, Do they realise what's | :04:47. | :04:50. | |
going on at the moment, that you're on The Voice, | :04:51. | :04:57. | |
and that Daddy is doing really well? They obviously love seeing me | :04:58. | :05:00. | |
on the television, but I think, to be fair, they like seeing | :05:01. | :05:02. | |
themselves on television But no, they know Daddy's a singer, | :05:03. | :05:04. | |
and they think Daddy lives on the stage, so they are definitely | :05:05. | :05:08. | |
rooting for me. Finally, imagine listening | :05:09. | :05:13. | |
to a bedtime story read by someone who's not next to your bed, | :05:14. | :05:17. | |
but way up in space! home in bed, Roraigh dog of all the | :05:18. | :05:31. | |
things he had done. They had sometimes been quite scary and | :05:32. | :05:35. | |
sometimes loads of fun. -- Roraigh thought of all the things he'd done. | :05:36. | :05:38. | |
Seven-year-old Roraigh won a competition to have this story | :05:39. | :05:40. | |
read to him by by British astronaut Tim Peake while orbiting 400 | :05:41. | :05:43. | |
Tim took time out from science experiments | :05:44. | :05:45. | |
on the International Space Station to tell the tale | :05:46. | :05:48. | |
to Roraigh back here on planet Earth. | :05:49. | :05:50. | |
That's all from me - Newsround's back tomorrow. | :05:51. | :05:57. |
