You're with Ricky on Monday morning. This is Newsround, live from | :00:00. | :00:12. | |
Salford. On today's show: Sniffing out wildlife crime. | :00:13. | :00:19. | |
We join the Border Force dogs. And we checked out some amazing | :00:20. | :00:26. | |
avalanche pictures. -- check out. But first, England's flooding | :00:27. | :00:29. | |
nightmare continues, with 16 severe flood warnings in place, which mean | :00:30. | :00:33. | |
a risk to life. A wide stretch of the River Thames has reached its | :00:34. | :00:37. | |
highest water level for more than 20 years, threatening thousands of | :00:38. | :00:40. | |
homes. Berkshire and Surrey are the worst affected. The Army and the | :00:41. | :00:43. | |
Navy have been called in to help build defences, to try to divert the | :00:44. | :00:47. | |
water away from populated areas. And parts of the River Severn in | :00:48. | :00:50. | |
Shropshire and Worcestershire are at the highest levels for seven years. | :00:51. | :00:53. | |
Forecasters say today will be the driest day of the week, but rivers | :00:54. | :00:57. | |
could continue to rise as rainfall works its way downstream. | :00:58. | :01:06. | |
In Australia, they're battling dozens of bushfires sweeping across | :01:07. | :01:10. | |
the south of the country. More than 1,000 fire fighters are tackling the | :01:11. | :01:14. | |
blazes in the state of Victoria. The fires are being fanned by hot | :01:15. | :01:17. | |
weather and strong winds. Many residents have been ordered to leave | :01:18. | :01:21. | |
their homes, and at least 20 houses have been destroyed, in the worst | :01:22. | :01:24. | |
conditions since a very serious fire in 2009. | :01:25. | :01:27. | |
Prince William and his dad Prince Charles have made a video, calling | :01:28. | :01:30. | |
for an end to the illegal wildlife trade. A big meeting takes place | :01:31. | :01:33. | |
this week, where world leaders will try to work out how to stop the | :01:34. | :01:37. | |
crime. Campaigners say hunting animals like elephants and rhino has | :01:38. | :01:40. | |
reached an all-time high, and many endangered species are at risk of | :01:41. | :01:43. | |
extinction. In the UK, the Border Force is in charge of stopping | :01:44. | :01:46. | |
criminals from illegally transporting endangered plants and | :01:47. | :01:49. | |
animals in and out of the country. We sent Nel to spend a day with | :01:50. | :01:51. | |
them. London Heathrow is one of the | :01:52. | :01:57. | |
busiest airports in the world. Every day, almost 200,000 passengers pass | :01:58. | :02:00. | |
through its gates, jetting off to countries across the globe. Many | :02:01. | :02:08. | |
will be on their holidays. A small number are using airports to | :02:09. | :02:10. | |
illegally transport endangered plants and animals in and out of the | :02:11. | :02:19. | |
country. This is Tyke, a detective dog, | :02:20. | :02:23. | |
trained to smell for any plants and animals illegally hidden in any | :02:24. | :02:29. | |
number of these bags or suitcases. What kind of stuff is he finding | :02:30. | :02:36. | |
which is imported to the country? He's looking for a rhino horn, | :02:37. | :02:39. | |
ivory, tortoises. Birds, lizards. That's what is trying to look for. | :02:40. | :02:46. | |
And when it's there, hopefully, he will find it. | :02:47. | :02:49. | |
How do you know the something in the bag? | :02:50. | :02:51. | |
His body language will change. He will freeze, and look directly for | :02:52. | :02:53. | |
me. Because I'm the one who would give | :02:54. | :02:56. | |
him the reward. When he's found something illegal, | :02:57. | :02:58. | |
what happens next? We inform the team, and they | :02:59. | :03:01. | |
investigate the background, and where it's come from. And whether | :03:02. | :03:05. | |
it's illegal or not. Last year, the Border Force made | :03:06. | :03:08. | |
more than 690 seizures. Including 326 ivory items. And 93 live | :03:09. | :03:17. | |
animals. We have got the skin of a cat which | :03:18. | :03:21. | |
comes from the jungles in South America. We have got the skin of a | :03:22. | :03:28. | |
rock python. A very large snake. And ivory. A tooth from hippopotamus. | :03:29. | :03:32. | |
And wood from trees which is now endangered. | :03:33. | :03:34. | |
How bad is it? The trafficking is massive. A | :03:35. | :03:38. | |
thousand rhinos poached last year. There is only 20,000 left in the | :03:39. | :03:43. | |
world. An elephant is slaughtered in Africa every 15 minutes. That is how | :03:44. | :03:47. | |
bad it is. It's a major, major moment in the world. We have to do | :03:48. | :03:51. | |
something now. The illegal trade in wildlife is a | :03:52. | :04:02. | |
growing problem here and abroad. And, later this week, Prince William | :04:03. | :04:05. | |
will be speaking at an event in London to some of the world's | :04:06. | :04:09. | |
leaders, in the hope they can come together to draw up plans to better | :04:10. | :04:12. | |
protect some of the world's most endangered species from the threat | :04:13. | :04:14. | |
of extinction. It's day three of the Winter | :04:15. | :04:18. | |
Olympics. And, in the past hour, Team GB's curlers got off to a | :04:19. | :04:21. | |
winning start. The men beat the hosts Russia 7-4. The women's team | :04:22. | :04:29. | |
will play Sweden at 10am. Head to the website to find out what | :04:30. | :04:33. | |
action you should be looking out for in Sochi today. Britain's speed | :04:34. | :04:39. | |
skaters are in action later on. You can also read how it is game | :04:40. | :04:43. | |
over for Flappy Bird, the app that's got millions of people all over the | :04:44. | :04:46. | |
world bashing their phones. It's been taken off the app store this | :04:47. | :04:53. | |
morning. Take a look at this avalanche in | :04:54. | :04:58. | |
Italy. It was caught on camera in Tyrol region. No casualties have | :04:59. | :05:02. | |
been reported, according to | :05:03. | :05:03. |
