News of this super-speedy jet car on the way. | :00:00. | :00:07. | |
Plus, one of the world's most famous volcanoes is on the go again. | :00:08. | :00:11. | |
First then, there are just 400 Sumatran tigers left in the world, | :00:12. | :00:20. | |
so when new cubs are born, they need special care and attention. | :00:21. | :00:23. | |
But one zookeeper has gone to extreme lengths to keep this | :00:24. | :00:27. | |
pair protected by taking them home to live with his family. | :00:28. | :00:33. | |
And this is Spot and Stripe, two of the rarest tiger cubs in the world. | :00:34. | :00:48. | |
Following their birth at Australia Zoo, Giles helped them to | :00:49. | :00:51. | |
adapt to their new lives by taking them to live in his house. | :00:52. | :00:59. | |
They are more adjusted and more rounded in terms of being around | :01:00. | :01:06. | |
people. The best way for us to give us that start was to have them at | :01:07. | :01:08. | |
home. Giles is hoping his unusual approach | :01:09. | :01:10. | |
helps raise awareness of In the wild, | :01:11. | :01:13. | |
the tigers are found only on 30 years ago, it's estimated | :01:14. | :01:18. | |
that nearly 1,000 existed. But today that number | :01:19. | :01:24. | |
has more than halved. Sumatran tigers are critically | :01:25. | :01:35. | |
endangered. There is lots of pressure on them in the wild. The | :01:36. | :01:40. | |
reason we have tigers in captivity is what we call an insurance | :01:41. | :01:44. | |
population so that if they ever disappear in the wild they will not | :01:45. | :01:46. | |
be totally extinct. Despite the serious message, the | :01:47. | :01:49. | |
family have had lots of fun making Stripe is very independent and likes | :01:50. | :02:03. | |
to spend time on his own. Spot, he likes spending time with you, he | :02:04. | :02:07. | |
will actively come and seek you out and want to be near you and sit on | :02:08. | :02:09. | |
you. The pair are now back at the zoo | :02:10. | :02:10. | |
and almost fully grown. But Giles and the family hope their | :02:11. | :02:13. | |
unforgettable experience will make sure the world doesn't forget about | :02:14. | :02:16. | |
the most endangered big cats around. Next, Europe's most active | :02:17. | :02:20. | |
volcano is erupting again. Boiling lava and ash has been | :02:21. | :02:23. | |
spewing out of Mount Etna in Italy. The eruption started on Etna's | :02:24. | :02:27. | |
southern crater and has forced the closure | :02:28. | :02:28. | |
of an airport in nearby Sicily. In about half an hour, two of | :02:29. | :02:32. | |
the biggest teams in the tournament Portugal take on Germany with their | :02:33. | :02:37. | |
star striker Cristiano Ronaldo The Real Madrid forward's missed | :02:38. | :02:41. | |
most of Portugal's pre-tournament training with a knee injury, | :02:42. | :02:47. | |
but he is set to start. They face off at 5pm today with | :02:48. | :02:50. | |
Iran-Nigeria and Ghana-USA at 11. And you can see the highlights | :02:51. | :02:56. | |
of all the games on the Newsround And speaking of Ronaldo, Newsround's | :02:57. | :02:59. | |
very own predicting parrot successfully picked the winner | :03:00. | :03:05. | |
of England-Italy at the weekend. You can see his prediction | :03:06. | :03:08. | |
for the next game against Uruguay Next to a sneak peak at what could | :03:09. | :03:10. | |
become the world's fastest car. The supersonic Bloodhound's | :03:11. | :03:17. | |
being built to break the world But ahead of that, | :03:18. | :03:20. | |
the makers have released the design To travel in a car at nearly 1.5 | :03:21. | :03:39. | |
times the speed of sound, you need to get an engine from one of these. | :03:40. | :03:44. | |
Then you will need a dried out late were tonnes of rock have been | :03:45. | :03:51. | |
removed to make for a super-smooth trip. The Bloodhound team hope to | :03:52. | :04:02. | |
reach 1000mph. The driver needs to get the car to travel one mile in | :04:03. | :04:07. | |
3.5 seconds without it taking off. This is the heart of the car, my | :04:08. | :04:13. | |
office. The rear half of the car is bolted on with the rocket engines. I | :04:14. | :04:17. | |
will be sitting here controlling this. I am going to drive this car | :04:18. | :04:24. | |
at 1000mph and I need to have confidence about every part of it. | :04:25. | :04:28. | |
This is all about speed, precision, control and safety. | :04:29. | :04:34. | |
2 million schoolchildren are following the project around the | :04:35. | :04:37. | |
world and it is hoped whether it reaches its target or not, it will | :04:38. | :04:41. | |
inspire a brand-new generation of engineers and scientists. | :04:42. | :04:45. | |
There's plenty more on that over on the Newsround website, | :04:46. | :04:48. | |
plus a special feature on the world cup ref's magic disappearing spray. | :04:49. | :04:51. | |
That's all from me on Newsround. Have a great evening. Goodbye. | :04:52. | :04:58. |
