Hi there - welcome to Newsround. We are coming at you live from BBC

Television Centre in London with all the day's top stories,

including... The kids learning how to save lives in the sea. And the

gorilla who turned into a cameraman for the day.

First up to East Africa, and a crisis that isn't going to be

sorted anytime soon. The number of people suffering because drought

and war has left them without essentials like food and water, is

staggering. At least 10 million people are at risk of starvation.

It's likely to be many many more. The numbers are so huge because

we're not just talking about one country. This whole area of Africa

has been affected, including the countries of Kenya, Somalia,

Ethiopia and Uganda. And it's kids who are most at risk

of becoming seriously ill or even dying because of the lack of proper

food. Thousands are still arriving at refugee camps in Kenya and

Ethiopia. Many walking for days or weeks at a

time. They get given food when they get there, but aid workers say

they're struggling to cope and could run out of food in three

months time. Ricky has travelled out to the biggest camp in Kenya.

Here's what he found when he got there.

This is Kilinochchi, be Dav refugee camp in the world. Thousands turn

up here, looking for food, water and some where to stay. Many of

these children have travelled with their families, some completely on

their own. I spoke to one boy who travelled without his mum and dad.

He is exhausted and hungry. At this point, they register and they're

given enough supplies. But there is a big problem. The camp has only

been built to hold 90,000 refugees. And right now, there are 370,000.

The new arrivals are having to stay on the outskirts, where the

conditions are dreadful. It is windy and hot. We will hear more

from the children here and reporting back.

Now if you love butterflies, then scientists want to hear from you.

They want to know if they've been harmed by the recent hot dry spring.

People are being asked to head out into their gardens to count the

insects and list their results on the Big Butterfly Count website.

Lots of the insects hatched from cocoons early this year, and

experts want to know if they had enough food. They've got a very big

name backing the campaign. butterflies are increasing in

numbers, you can be sure that the health of the countryside is good.

If they are declining, it is a worry. The fact of the matter is

that all British butterflies, at the moment, are in decline.

With the end of term just round the corner, lots of you will be heading

to the seaside. But with the stats saying that more accidents happen

in the water over the summer months than at any other time of the year,

we all have take care. That's why I spent a day with some kids learning

how to save lives by the sea. It is the middle of summer. The

beaches are crammed as people head to the sea, but it is not easy

making sure everyone stays safe. I'm here, were these guys are

finding out just how tough it is to be a lifeguard. First up, testing

accuracy and aim. Well so used to rescue swimmers. Next, the Flat

race. You have to be fast on your feet to be a lifeguard. Lifeguards

use body boards to reach swimmers under stress. Finally, the torpedo

challenge. Demonstrating a safe rescue.

It is time to hear from the real lifeguards on how the children have

done. Really good with the boards. They enjoyed doing the Flat race.

We have been trying to have the kids have as much fun as possible

but as well as that, we want to teach them to stay safe. How have

the children found their day as a lifeguard? It was really tough,

because of the big waves. Fantastic, but scary, too. I think lifeguards

a brilliant because they say if people and stop people from

drowning. Saving someone while the tide is coming at you, today that

has made me feel the time safer in the water. -- feel that I am safer.

I used to be a lifeguard. Did you?

Well done. Next up, a very big win. Huge.

Massive. Someone somewhere in the UK has won �160 million in the

Euromillions lottery. It is Europe's biggest ever jackpot. The

winner hasn't come forward yet to claim their prize. What are they

waiting for? Anyway, it got us thinking - what could you buy with

�160 million? I'm glad you asked, Hayley.

With that kind of money you could buy 30 mansions like this, more

than 700 flashy Ferraris like this, or as much jewellery a girl - or

footballer - could ever wish for. If you've got rubbish handwriting,

you could always move to America. Because kids in the state of

Indiana don't have handwriting lessons anymore. Officials there

think it's more important for children to know how to type on

computers. What do you think about that? Does your school teach you

handwriting in the first place? Do you think it's pointless being

taught to write joined up when you do so much on computers? Head to

the website and let us know. Now to a gorilla who went totally

bananas over a video camera. One of keepers at Jersey's Durrell

Wildlife Park wanted to find out what life was like from a primate's

perspective. Well, I'd say that keeper got more than he could ever

ask for. Leah's been looking at the result.

He might be looking a little angry, but this silverback gorilla ought

to be rather proud. Because Yakwanza has managed to get the

world's attention with his unusual camera skills. Keepers at Durrell

zoo in Jersey hid the camera in this yellow box with his favourite

food - honey and oats - to make They chucked it into his enclosure,

and Yakwanza was quick to investigate. Considering he spent

most of the time taking close ups of his nose, we're not sure

Hollywood will come calling too soon. And once he'd licked all the

food off the camera, he had a go at chewing the branding.

But it wasn't quite to his taste, so when the keepers asked for the

camera back, Yakwanza was happy to oblige.

David and Victoria Beckham have had thousands of congratulation

messages from around the world about their new baby girl. And

being the polite man that he is, Becks has been thanking everyone.

Thank you to everyone for the well wishing that we have had.

While we're on the subject of baby Beckham, lots of people have been

talking about why they chose the name Harper for the new addition to

the family. Well, apparently, her brothers - Brooklyn, Romeo and Cruz

- may have come up with it. As most of you probably know, Harper is
