Hi, Martin here live with your last Newsround of the day. On the way:

:00:00.:00:12.

Thousands of firefighters tackling a huge blaze in China.

:00:13.:00:16.

And what it's like spending 18 months with Brazil's wild animals.

:00:17.:00:25.

We're starting with football. It's a hugely important day for Manchester

:00:26.:00:32.

United. The team is hoping to end its losing streak having lost their

:00:33.:00:35.

last three matches. Wayne Rooney, who is out injured, has used social

:00:36.:00:39.

media to urge United fans to keep backing the players. New manager

:00:40.:00:43.

David Moyes is under pressure. The last time United lost four games in

:00:44.:00:47.

a row was more than 50 years ago. So he's hoping for a win today against

:00:48.:00:51.

Swansea, the same team that knocked them out of the FA cup a week ago.

:00:52.:00:56.

The game kicks off in a few hours. It is just another game. I know it

:00:57.:01:02.

is against the same opponents, but it is another game. A chance to get

:01:03.:01:06.

ourselves back. If you are not winning, that can affect your

:01:07.:01:14.

confidence. Confidence plays a big part in football. But we will try to

:01:15.:01:20.

get back to winning ways. Now to China where fire has severely

:01:21.:01:23.

damaged an ancient Tibetan town in the south west of the country. It

:01:24.:01:27.

happened in Dukezong which is more than a thousand years old and

:01:28.:01:29.

popular with tourists. According to local reports, more than 2,000

:01:30.:01:32.

firefighters, police and volunteers helped put out the blaze which raged

:01:33.:01:38.

for ten hours. There were no reports of injuries. The town has narrow

:01:39.:01:41.

cobbled streets, so it was difficult to get fire trucks up them. It's 60

:01:42.:02:00.

years since the very first BBC TV weather presenter appeared on our

:02:01.:02:01.

screens. Back then they used maps drawn with

:02:02.:02:05.

pencils and even sticky labels. It was a lot more difficult to get it

:02:06.:02:09.

right then and forecasters were often blamed for bad weather. Here's

:02:10.:02:12.

BBC weatherman Simon King to explain how things have changed.

:02:13.:02:14.

In those days, they did not have computers or advanced technology, so

:02:15.:02:17.

they had to draw the weather maps on a board behind the camera. Things

:02:18.:02:25.

were very basic in those days. You could only do our forecast for one

:02:26.:02:33.

day ahead. Now, technology has changed massively. We have

:02:34.:02:37.

computers, satellite information to predict the weather for five days

:02:38.:02:43.

ahead, and also the graphics that are used on TV. We can do forecasts

:02:44.:02:52.

for all around the world. The BBC weather Centre now produces 100

:02:53.:02:57.

national broadcasts a day. Compared to only one day 60 years ago.

:02:58.:03:11.

How would you fancy hanging out with otters, groups of monkeys and trying

:03:12.:03:14.

to track down jaguars in Brazil? Sounds pretty good doesn't it. Well,

:03:15.:03:17.

I've caught up with the man who's spent months doing just that, for a

:03:18.:03:21.

new BBC programme called Wild Brazil.

:03:22.:03:22.

We have three main animals that other stars, giant otters that

:03:23.:03:29.

travel around in a gang and are very noisy. We have coatis. They're very

:03:30.:03:44.

mischievous, always getting into trouble. And we have cappuccino

:03:45.:03:53.

monkeys. They do incredible things. Very funny to watch. What were the

:03:54.:04:00.

real challenges? Finding the animals can be a real challenge. We filmed

:04:01.:04:09.

Jaguars which have hardly ever been filmed before. They are so secret.

:04:10.:04:22.

We think we scanned about 10,000 miles of river bank. We have photos

:04:23.:04:30.

of Jaguars doing amazing things. What surprises did you have? The

:04:31.:04:36.

animals constantly surprised us. We got to know the monkeys very well

:04:37.:04:42.

and we filmed and so behaviour that even the scientists had not seen

:04:43.:04:50.

before. That is our first time? I loved those monkeys. Some tennis

:04:51.:04:58.

news for you now and Britain's Heather Watson has qualified for the

:04:59.:05:01.

main draw at the Australian Open which starts on Monday.

:05:02.:05:04.

She beat American Irina Falconi. Meanwhile, British number one Andy

:05:05.:05:07.

Murray says he's a bit worried about his fitness ahead of his first round

:05:08.:05:10.

Australian open match against Japan's Go Swayda. Murray had a back

:05:11.:05:13.

operation in September and has been training to get back into the game.

:05:14.:05:19.

My back feels much, much better. It is just the rest of the body that

:05:20.:05:24.

hurts a little bit from not playing matches. But that is going to come

:05:25.:05:28.

from playing matches. It is just playing at this level again, in

:05:29.:05:34.

front of big crowds, pressure and nerves there. Back in Tiger -- that

:05:35.:05:44.

can tire you out a little bit. The third series of The Voice starts

:05:45.:05:47.

tonight with two brand new coaches, Kylie Minogue and Ricky Wilson from

:05:48.:05:51.

the Kaiser Chiefs. If you like The Voice, then head over to the

:05:52.:05:54.

Newsround website to test your knowledge on new coach Kylie

:05:55.:05:56.

Minogue. We've also got amazing pictures of a volcanic eruption in

:05:57.:06:00.

Indonesia. And the strangest stories of the week. That's all from me.

:06:01.:06:02.

Newsround's back bright
