But first, there are more flood warnings today for parts of England | :00:21. | :00:26. | |

and is still on course for a quarterfinal showdown with Roger | :00:53. | :00:55. | |
Federer. Next up, you might think this boggy | :00:56. | :00:58. | |
marshland looks pretty uninteresting but peat bogs like this are at the | :00:59. | :01:03. | |
centre of a big debate at the moment. For years, they've been | :01:04. | :01:07. | |
stripped to help people grow plants and flowers but now environmental | :01:08. | :01:10. | |
experts are calling for a change. Here's Martin with more. Peat blog | :01:11. | :01:20. | |
in Cumbria. This is a haven for wildlife. For many years on the peat | :01:21. | :01:28. | |
box like this one have been dug up but lots of it ends up in people's | :01:29. | :01:36. | |
back gardens. At garden centres, peat has been sold mixed with | :01:37. | :01:42. | |
fertiliser. The result is peat Oaks field with wildlife have been and | :01:43. | :01:46. | |
destroyed it takes a long time for them to come back. This has been | :01:47. | :01:53. | |

still hardly anything can grow on it. Peat is vegetation and plant | :02:04. | :02:12. | |
life which has broken down. Some of the peat box in Britain go back 8000 | :02:13. | :02:20. | |
years. The government want no peat to be used by 2030. But with the | :02:21. | :02:27. | |
slowdown in use, in areas like this peat bog have been restored to their | :02:28. | :02:31. | |
original state. Unless Pete is used in the back hard on, we will all be | :02:32. | :02:38. | |
used -- able to use more wild box -- enjoy more wild books like this one. | :02:39. | :02:43. | |
Finally, to the dogs and their owners who've been making waves in | :02:44. | :02:47. | |
Brazil. This lot are in practice for a special competition in Rio de | :02:48. | :02:52. | |
Janeiro. Pet and human are both supposed to stand up and paddle | :02:53. | :02:56. | |

others. | :02:59. | :03:01. |
