Hello, it is time for your 6:50PM update. | :00:00. | :00:11. | |
First up, the question of whether it's cruel | :00:12. | :00:13. | |
to keep animals like this at home, like you would a cat or dog. | :00:14. | :00:17. | |
At the moment it's not illegal, but politicians have been looking at | :00:18. | :00:20. | |
Monkeys. Gibbons. Lemurs. | :00:21. | :00:26. | |
The thought of having a pet lemur, like these little ones here, | :00:27. | :00:30. | |
might seem like fun - but there's a big debate | :00:31. | :00:32. | |
at the moment over whether primates should be kept at home as pets. | :00:33. | :00:37. | |
At the moment, it's not against the law. | :00:38. | :00:40. | |
You don't need a licence to buy, sell, or breed smaller species - | :00:41. | :00:43. | |
A group of MPs looking into this say it's not right, | :00:44. | :00:49. | |
but have stopped short of saying there should be a ban. | :00:50. | :00:52. | |
Something animal rights groups disagree with. | :00:53. | :00:56. | |
They're extremely intelligent and complex animals, wild animals, | :00:57. | :00:59. | |
So what is the difference between primates, like these lemurs | :01:00. | :01:04. | |
In the wild, these live in quite big groups, | :01:05. | :01:09. | |
so you don?t necessarily have the space to keep all these animals. | :01:10. | :01:12. | |
They are very expensive to keep and they have a special diet. | :01:13. | :01:15. | |
Also some animals, like marmosets and tamarins - which are the small | :01:16. | :01:19. | |
monkeys that you don?t need a license for now - they need special | :01:20. | :01:22. | |
If you do not have that UV lighting they can get bone diseases. | :01:23. | :01:28. | |
The politicians say there's an urgent need to find out how many | :01:29. | :01:31. | |
primates are being kept as pets before any final decision | :01:32. | :01:34. | |
No one really knows and with anything from 3,000 to | :01:35. | :01:39. | |
20,000 out there, it could be a while before anything more is done. | :01:40. | :01:51. | |
Team GB's most successful sailor has launched a pitch to to earn a | :01:52. | :02:03. | |
trophy. Sir Ben Ainslie is entering a team in the America's Cup. Sir Ben | :02:04. | :02:10. | |
Ainslie 18 last year as part of Oracle Team USA. He says they're | :02:11. | :02:13. | |
competing for Team GB will be better than that. It would be massive for | :02:14. | :02:20. | |
us to bring the cup back to British waters. A huge group of sharks | :02:21. | :02:29. | |
swimming close to the shore, several closures of beaches in America. | :02:30. | :02:36. | |
Experts think that fish left by fishermen in the water may have | :02:37. | :02:37. | |
attracted the sharks. The UK?s first ever indoor | :02:38. | :02:44. | |
trampoline park, The converted warehouse has | :02:45. | :02:46. | |
wall-to-wall trampolines, basketball nets for dunking, | :02:47. | :02:49. | |
and foam pits for a safe landing. That is about all from Newsround | :02:50. | :02:52. | |
and CBBC. | :02:53. | :02:57. |
