We've got all your top stories covered this Wednesday morning.

I'm Ricky.

Coming your way: In gaming news, Sony reveals more

about its virtual reality headset.

And possibly the cutest seal you'll ever see.

But first, to our top story.

Prince William has unveiled plans to help crack down

on illegal wildlife trafficking.

Leading figures from charities, airlines, shipping organisations

and other bodies have signed a declaration promising to take

major steps to tackle those who smuggle rhino horns

and elephant ivory.

Every year between 30,000 and 40,000 African elephants are killed

for their ivory.

The prince is worried they may become extinct.

We have faced up to the fact that if current trends continue,

the last wild African elephants and rhinos will be killed

before my daughter Charlotte reaches her 25th birthday.

It is my view that if we do not turn this crisis around in the next five

years, we have lost this battle forever.

Now, how tidy is your school?

Would you put in the hard work to make it clean though?

Well, in Singapore - a small country in south-east Asia -

all school pupils will have to start doing just that.

Leah's been looking into what kids here make of it.

Mess and dirt.

Not many of us like it and we'd all much prefer a tidy school.

Question is - what is the best way of keeping corridors sparkling

and classrooms gleaming?

Well, the country of Singapore has an answer.

From this year on, all pupils will have to take part in daily

cleaning of the school environment, and they are being given

litter-picking tools to help them on their way.

So what do they think?

It gives children a sense of responsibility.

My favourite, like, chore in class is sweeping the floor

because I like doing it.

It encourages pupils to clean in the school and also

outside the school.

As well as keeping schools clean, officials in Singapore hope pupils

will be able to care for their own areas and shared

spaces, as well as giving them responsibilities and good

habits for life.

But how would you feel if the UK had the same rules?

I think it's a great idea because usually we leave

all the mess to the teachers.

If it was during, like, break - the time we usually play outside -

I don't really like it because you need to enjoy your life

while you're young.

I think it's a good idea but I don't think that I'd like it if we had

to do it all the time.

If we do the cleaning, we'll be taking jobs off people.

Missed a bit there, Evie. Come on, give it a bit of welly.

Well, if pupils did take on more cleaning in school,

there's probably one person who would love a helping hand.

Have you ever used a mop before?

Come on, Evelyn. Look at that speck of dust there.

Now, we've been asking you for your comments

on this all morning.

We've had loads of you giving us your views.

John in Exeter isn't a fan.

He says: "I don't think pupils should clean the school

"because that's the caretaker's job."

Bethany in Scotland says yes.

She would helping her school because it's important that children

know how to clean.

Jacob says in his school, the head teacher asks the pupils

if they wanted to clean the dinner hall.

Next up, gaming giants Sony have revealed details about it's

virtual reality headset.

The kit will cost around ?350, making it cheaper

than the Oculus Rift and the HTC Vive.

It will be available to buy in October, which is much later

than the company promised.

While it may be cheaper, the headset isn't as advanced

as its two rivals.

Now, things are looking a bit different at the White House today.

The American president Barack Obama is getting ready

for St Patrick's Day by turning his fountain a shade

of emerald green.

Green shamrocks are the symbol of the special day,

which is celebrated every year in Ireland and around the world

on March the 17th.

A school in Eastbourne in the south of England is trying out a new yet

old way of learning.

Here, pupils learn to make fires, clay pigeon shoot and tend to water

buffalo at their Bronze Age school.

With some schools worried about kids doing anything too dangerous,

Dame Judith Hackett, the person in charge of health

and safety in the workplace, says the school is a great example

of what can be done when activities like this, considered by some

schools to be too risky, are well managed by head teachers.

If you do anything safely and responsibly, then you're not

going to get hurt.

I think the only way that children will get hurt is if they're not

exposed to fires and knives and taught how to use them responsibly.

That's when accidents happen.

Now, blink and you'll miss this!

Meet Jamie, the super-fast cup-stacking whiz who's just been

chosen to represent Great Britain at the world

sport stacking championships.

Jamie's twelve years old and only began speed stacking two years ago,

but he's already fantastic, with a personal best time just one

second off the world record.

I guarantee you won't see anything cuter than this today.

Visitors at this aquarium in Tokyo have been enjoying this seal's

wriggling and rolling antics.

It was born nearly one month ago and weighed just four kilograms.

It's now just enjoying time with its mum in this

specially built enclosure.

That's all from me.

Newsround's back just after four this afternoon.

Until then, bye-bye.
