however, there are new leaders in the form of Chelsea. So, for the | :00:00. | :00:00. | |
special one, it's number one. Good Monday morning to you. This is | :00:00. | :00:00. | |
Newsround with me, Ricky. On the brekkie menu today. We join the dogs | :00:07. | :00:10. | |
on the front line sniffing out wildlife crime. And brooms at the | :00:11. | :00:14. | |
ready. Britain's curling team are in action in Sochi. | :00:15. | :00:21. | |
But first, 16 severe flood warnings, which mean a risk to life, are now | :00:22. | :00:26. | |
in place across England. A wide stretch of the River Thames has | :00:27. | :00:30. | |
reached its highest water level for more than 20 years, threatening | :00:31. | :00:33. | |
thousands of homes. Berkshire and Surrey are the worst affected. The | :00:34. | :00:41. | |
Army and the Navy have been called in to help build defences to try to | :00:42. | :00:45. | |
divert the water away from populated areas. And parts of the River Severn | :00:46. | :00:48. | |
in Shropshire and Worcestershire are at the highest levels for seven | :00:49. | :00:51. | |
years. Forecasters say today will be the driest day of the week, but | :00:52. | :00:55. | |
rivers could continue to rise as rainfall works its way downstream. | :00:56. | :00:59. | |
Over in Australia they are battling dozens of bushfires sweeping across | :01:00. | :01:02. | |
the south of the country. More than 1,000 firefighters are tackling the | :01:03. | :01:07. | |
blazes in the state of Victoria. The fires are being fanned by hot | :01:08. | :01:10. | |
weather and strong winds. Many residents have been ordered to leave | :01:11. | :01:13. | |
their homes and at least 20 houses have been destroyed in the worst | :01:14. | :01:17. | |
conditions since a very serious fire in 2009. Next, Prince William and | :01:18. | :01:23. | |
his Dad Prince Charles have made a video calling for an end to the | :01:24. | :01:26. | |
illegal wildlife trade. A big meeting takes place this week where | :01:27. | :01:30. | |
world leaders will try to work out how to stop the crime. Campaigners | :01:31. | :01:33. | |
say hunting animals like elephants and rhino has reached an all-time | :01:34. | :01:36. | |
high and many endangered species are at risk of extinction. In the UK, | :01:37. | :01:42. | |
the Border Force is in charge of stopping criminals from illegally | :01:43. | :01:44. | |
transporting endangered plants and animals in and out of the country | :01:45. | :01:48. | |
and we sent Nel to spend a day with them. London Heathrow is one of the | :01:49. | :01:58. | |
busiest airports in the world. Every day, almost 200,000 passengers | :01:59. | :02:02. | |
passed through its gates jetting off to countries across the globe. Many | :02:03. | :02:10. | |
will be asked on the holidays, a small number are using airports to | :02:11. | :02:13. | |
illegally transport endangered plants and animals in and out of the | :02:14. | :02:20. | |
country. This is a detective dog trained to smell for any plants and | :02:21. | :02:25. | |
animals illegally hidden in any number of these bags or suitcases. | :02:26. | :02:30. | |
What kind of stuff is a finding which is important to the country? | :02:31. | :02:35. | |
He's looking for a rhino horn, ivory, tortoise is,, that's what is | :02:36. | :02:41. | |
trying to look for and when it's there, hopefully, you will find it. | :02:42. | :02:45. | |
How do you know the something in the bag? His body language will change. | :02:46. | :02:52. | |
He will freeze and look directly for me because I'm the one who would | :02:53. | :02:56. | |
give him the reward. When he's found something illegal, what happens | :02:57. | :03:01. | |
next? We informed the team and they investigate the background and where | :03:02. | :03:03. | |
it's come from and whether it's illegal or not. Last year the border | :03:04. | :03:12. | |
Force made more than 690 seasons, including 326 ivory items. And 93 | :03:13. | :03:18. | |
live animals. We have got the skin of a cat which comes from South | :03:19. | :03:22. | |
America. We have got the skin of a place in, a very large snake, and | :03:23. | :03:30. | |
ivory, a tooth from hippopotamus, and wood from trees which is now | :03:31. | :03:35. | |
endangered. How bad is it? The trafficking is massive. A thousand | :03:36. | :03:43. | |
rhinos poached last year. There is only 20,000 left in the world. An | :03:44. | :03:47. | |
elephant is slaughtered in Africa every 15 how bad it is. It's a | :03:48. | :03:52. | |
major, major moment in the world for that we have to do something now. | :03:53. | :03:56. | |
The illegal trade in wildlife is a growing problem here and abroad and | :03:57. | :04:01. | |
later this week, Prince William will be speaking at an event in London to | :04:02. | :04:05. | |
some of the world's leaders in the hope they can come together to draw | :04:06. | :04:08. | |
up plans to better protect some of the world's most endangered species | :04:09. | :04:13. | |
from the threat of extinction. And, as you heard from Radzi, Man | :04:14. | :04:16. | |
United's terrible season goes from bad to worse after they failed to | :04:17. | :04:19. | |
win at home again. Darren Bent scored a late equaliser for | :04:20. | :04:22. | |
bottom-placed Fulham, leaving David Moyes's side nine points adrift of | :04:23. | :04:27. | |
the Champions League places. Sticking with sport as we head into | :04:28. | :04:31. | |
day three of the Winter Olympics and Great Britain's curlers are in | :04:32. | :04:38. | |
action. In the past few minutes, they have beaten the host, Russia, | :04:39. | :04:43. | |
7-4. The women's team will play Sweden at 10am. Go girls. And head | :04:44. | :04:47. | |
to the website to find out what action you should be looking out for | :04:48. | :04:50. | |
in Sochi today. Britain's speed skaters are in action later on. | :04:51. | :04:54. | |
That's all from me. Newsround's back right here in about half an hour. | :04:55. | :04:56. | |
Bye bye. | :04:57. | :04:59. |
