Hi. | 0:00:03 | 0:00:04 | |
You're live with Newsround this Monday. | 0:00:04 | 0:00:05 | |
I'm Ayshah. | 0:00:05 | 0:00:06 | |
Stay tuned for all of this. | 0:00:06 | 0:00:10 | |
Eight golds for Team Paralympics GB in Rio. | 0:00:10 | 0:00:12 | |
And can you spot the difference between these giraffes? | 0:00:12 | 0:00:17 | |
First up to that spectacular Sunday in Rio for TEam Paralymmpics | 0:00:25 | 0:00:26 | |
GB winning those eight gold medals. | 0:00:30 | 0:00:32 | |
Check this out. | 0:00:32 | 0:00:36 | |
Here's sprinter Richard Whitehead out on his own and winning gold | 0:00:36 | 0:00:39 | |
in the T42 200 metres. | 0:00:39 | 0:00:45 | |
And not far behind him was fellow Brit Dave Henson who took bronze. | 0:00:45 | 0:00:49 | |
Elsewhere, swimmer Beth Firth dominated the S14 200m freestyle | 0:00:49 | 0:00:54 | |
to take gold ahead of team-mate Jessica-Jane Applegate. | 0:00:54 | 0:01:03 | |
Club thrower Jo Butterfield broke the world record and secured | 0:01:03 | 0:01:06 | |
Britain's eighth gold medal of the day. | 0:01:06 | 0:01:09 | |
The other golds came in the afternoon, from | 0:01:09 | 0:01:11 | |
the rowing and cycling teams. | 0:01:11 | 0:01:19 | |
The British Paralympian team are now second in the medal | 0:01:19 | 0:01:23 | |
table with a whopping 23 golds, and 56 overall. | 0:01:23 | 0:01:29 | |
Next, Hilary Clinton, who is campaigning to become | 0:01:29 | 0:01:31 | |
President of the United States for the Democratic Party, | 0:01:31 | 0:01:33 | |
has been diagnosed with pneumonia. | 0:01:33 | 0:01:35 | |
She became unwell while at an event in New York. | 0:01:35 | 0:01:38 | |
The man campaigning against her, Donald Trump, has questioned | 0:01:38 | 0:01:40 | |
whether she is fit enough to take on the job of | 0:01:40 | 0:01:43 | |
President should she win. | 0:01:43 | 0:01:45 | |
But speaking yesterday, Clinton said she was "feeling great." | 0:01:45 | 0:01:52 | |
Families in Cumbria in north-west England have been | 0:01:52 | 0:01:54 | |
moving back into their homes after floods last December | 0:01:54 | 0:01:56 | |
left thousands of people without anywhere to live. | 0:01:56 | 0:01:58 | |
Christmas wasn't the only thing ruined. | 0:01:58 | 0:02:01 | |
Well, Leah's been to meet one family in the town of Kendal | 0:02:01 | 0:02:03 | |
who are finally making a fresh start after a difficult few months. | 0:02:03 | 0:02:09 | |
Zoe, Ali, these are some of the pictures you took | 0:02:09 | 0:02:12 | |
during the floods. | 0:02:12 | 0:02:13 | |
Can you talk me through them? | 0:02:13 | 0:02:14 | |
It was disgusting, just horrible. | 0:02:14 | 0:02:15 | |
Really? | 0:02:15 | 0:02:16 | |
I couldn't believe it. | 0:02:16 | 0:02:19 | |
I was like, what has happened? | 0:02:19 | 0:02:21 | |
December 2015. | 0:02:21 | 0:02:23 | |
A time of year Ali and her mum would rather forget. | 0:02:23 | 0:02:27 | |
It was horrible seeing that in the back garden. | 0:02:27 | 0:02:32 | |
Heavy rain left thousands of people's homes flooded. | 0:02:32 | 0:02:38 | |
Roads across parts of the north-west of England and the Borders | 0:02:38 | 0:02:40 | |
turned into canals. | 0:02:40 | 0:02:44 | |
Here in Kendal in Cumbria, people's lives were turned upside down. | 0:02:44 | 0:02:48 | |
Last December was the wettest month on record in the UK. | 0:02:48 | 0:02:51 | |
And today, things look very different. | 0:02:51 | 0:02:54 | |
Almost nine months have passed, and now Ali and her mum Zoe | 0:02:54 | 0:02:57 | |
are moving back into the family home and say their life now can | 0:02:57 | 0:03:01 | |
return back to normal. | 0:03:01 | 0:03:06 | |
We are back in now and it's all over. | 0:03:06 | 0:03:11 | |
We don't have to be in a different house, we are all together. | 0:03:11 | 0:03:14 | |
It's lovely to feel that we're back in. | 0:03:14 | 0:03:17 | |
Where did the water come to in this room? | 0:03:17 | 0:03:19 | |
To the top of the fire. | 0:03:19 | 0:03:20 | |
So, knee-length really. | 0:03:20 | 0:03:23 | |
I was in my wellies and it was over the top of my knees. | 0:03:23 | 0:03:27 | |
It was horrible. | 0:03:27 | 0:03:28 | |
The carpet was black and horrible. | 0:03:28 | 0:03:31 | |
I was like, this isn't happening. | 0:03:31 | 0:03:35 | |
While the Government is investing billions of pounds into building up | 0:03:35 | 0:03:38 | |
flood defences across the UK, it could take years for families | 0:03:38 | 0:03:40 | |
like this one to complete the repairs of their homes. | 0:03:40 | 0:03:43 | |
It feels nice to know that I am here. | 0:03:43 | 0:03:46 | |
I can come downstairs and sit on the sofa. | 0:03:46 | 0:03:50 | |
There's all the people that have helped and been really kind | 0:03:50 | 0:03:53 | |
towards people, and it is really nice to be here. | 0:03:53 | 0:03:55 | |
Onwards and upwards. | 0:03:55 | 0:03:59 | |
Ali will never forget what happened to her | 0:03:59 | 0:04:01 | |
and so many of her neighbours. | 0:04:01 | 0:04:03 | |
But now, finally, this is a chance for a new start in home. | 0:04:03 | 0:04:13 | |
Have a look at these giraffes. | 0:04:13 | 0:04:15 | |
They look pretty similar, right? | 0:04:15 | 0:04:18 | |
Well, look a bit closer because they're all actually | 0:04:18 | 0:04:20 | |
different species. | 0:04:20 | 0:04:21 | |
Scientists in Namibia in Africa have found out that there are four | 0:04:21 | 0:04:24 | |
species of giraffe, not just one. | 0:04:24 | 0:04:26 | |
The BBC's science reporter Victoria Gill has more. | 0:04:26 | 0:04:30 | |
They are Africa's gentlest giants. | 0:04:30 | 0:04:33 | |
But these animals are in decline as their natural | 0:04:33 | 0:04:36 | |
habitat is shrinking. | 0:04:36 | 0:04:38 | |
That threat was the trigger for scientists to sample giraffe DNA | 0:04:38 | 0:04:43 | |
to find out more about these increasingly fragmented populations. | 0:04:43 | 0:04:46 | |
This revealed a genetic surprise. | 0:04:46 | 0:04:50 | |
What these new results show is that there are actually | 0:04:50 | 0:04:53 | |
four different species of giraffe, all very tall | 0:04:53 | 0:04:56 | |
and they look very similar. | 0:04:56 | 0:05:04 | |
But they are as genetically distinct from one another has a polar bear | 0:05:04 | 0:05:07 | |
is from a brown bear. | 0:05:07 | 0:05:08 | |
So, these animals have now been newly categorised. | 0:05:08 | 0:05:10 | |
There are reticulated giraffes, northern giraffes, the southern | 0:05:10 | 0:05:12 | |
giraffe and Masai giraffe. | 0:05:12 | 0:05:14 | |
It may look like a tricky game of spot the difference | 0:05:14 | 0:05:17 | |
but to conservationists it is crucial information. | 0:05:17 | 0:05:21 | |
Now understanding these real genetic differences helps us | 0:05:21 | 0:05:23 | |
understand there may be differences in mating behaviour, | 0:05:23 | 0:05:26 | |
breeding patterns which are critical to conserving a species. | 0:05:26 | 0:05:33 | |
The wild population of giraffes has declined by 40% | 0:05:33 | 0:05:35 | |
in the last 15 years. | 0:05:35 | 0:05:37 | |
So, looking deep into their DNA could help conservationists | 0:05:37 | 0:05:39 | |
understand and protect the world's tallest mammals. | 0:05:39 | 0:05:48 | |
That's all from me. | 0:05:48 | 0:05:51 | |
Newsround's back this afternoon with Ricky. | 0:05:51 | 0:05:53 | |
Bye. | 0:05:53 | 0:05:55 |
