We have been working so hard and it shows it pays off, | :01:14. | :01:17. | |
but it's not been an easy road, I've trained day in, | :01:18. | :01:24. | |
day out to improve my starting and keep up with these boys | :01:25. | :01:27. | |
Earlier, 40-year-old Katherine Grainger became Britain's | :01:28. | :01:30. | |
most decorated female Olympian by winning silver | :01:31. | :01:32. | |

Next, wild elephants could be wiped out in the next ten years, | :02:10. | :02:13. | |
in many African countries, if they're not helped now. | :02:14. | :02:15. | |
That's the warning given to Newsround, by the animal charity | :02:16. | :02:18. | |
Poaching is the illegal hunting and killing of animals. It happens in | :02:19. | :02:32. | |
lots of countries around the world and is driving many species to the | :02:33. | :02:37. | |
point of extinction, including the Asian and African elephant. Africa | :02:38. | :02:42. | |
was home to 1.2 million elephants in the 1970s but now the numbers have | :02:43. | :02:47. | |
dropped to around 470,000 in the wild. The conservation charity, | :02:48. | :02:52. | |
Tusk, told Newsround that if Poaching is not stopped there is | :02:53. | :02:55. | |
every chance elephants will become extinct and the number of -- in a | :02:56. | :03:00. | |
number of African countries in the next decade. Poachers hunt animals | :03:01. | :03:04. | |
such as elephants for money. Ivory, which is found in elephant tusks | :03:05. | :03:09. | |
armour can be legally sold for huge amounts. The tasks are sold to | :03:10. | :03:14. | |
countries like China and Vietnam where they can be carved into | :03:15. | :03:18. | |
ornaments, jewellery and even chopsticks. Some people buy them to | :03:19. | :03:22. | |
show off how rich they are another is believe they have magical healing | :03:23. | :03:26. | |
powers and use them as medicine, but scientists say the medicines don't | :03:27. | :03:31. | |
work. Many people are campaigning to protect elephants, including the | :03:32. | :03:35. | |
Duke of Cambridge, Prince William. It's appalling that elephants and | :03:36. | :03:40. | |
many others may be extinct in the wild in our lifetimes. And that we | :03:41. | :03:44. | |
seem to be hurtling towards that tragic outcome. Leaders around the | :03:45. | :03:47. | |
world have made agreements to stop illegal animal parts coming into | :03:48. | :03:51. | |
their countries, but it's still happening and it has not stopped | :03:52. | :03:57. | |
poachers. Recently, thousands of elephant tusks were destroyed in | :03:58. | :04:00. | |
Kenny to send a stronger message to poachers. Next month, governors -- | :04:01. | :04:06. | |
governments from around the world will meet in South Africa to discuss | :04:07. | :04:09. | |
how to better protect our wildlife. The hope is to come up with a | :04:10. | :04:13. | |
solution to stop animals like the elephant disappearing for ever. | :04:14. | :04:15. | |
and one of the big attractions at the International Bristol | :04:16. | :04:21. | |
Balloon Festival that's happening this weekend. | :04:22. | :04:22. | |
We sent Jenny along to see it and absolutely | :04:23. | :04:24. | |
We are sky high for this balloon, and it did not disappoint. | :04:25. | :04:42. | |
It's big and it's blue and it looks real and it's like the | :04:43. | :04:45. | |
The giant helium balloon measures seven metres across and is | :04:46. | :04:51. | |
an exact replica of the moon and was painstakingly put together using | :04:52. | :04:53. | |
It's taken about six months to make and I'm hoping | :04:54. | :05:02. | |
that people will be inspired when they look | :05:03. | :05:03. | |
at it and see all of the | :05:04. | :05:05. | |
After all that hard work, surely nothing could | :05:06. | :05:08. | |
The makers said the balloon burst because of high | :05:09. | :05:27. | |
winds, but it is still set to go on a tour of other | :05:28. | :05:30. | |
The balloon has been taken away to get fixed before it goes | :05:31. | :05:36. | |
on the rest of the tour and like all good | :05:37. | :05:38. | |
science experiments, sometimes things don't go exactly to plan. | :05:39. | :05:39. | |
That's it for the morning, go online to see the latest | :05:40. | :05:48. | |
Strictly contestant, you might recognise him. | :05:49. | :05:51. | |
We're back at 4:20pm live from the Olympics in Rio. | :05:52. | :05:54. |
