Hi, guys, Friday afternoon is here at last! I'm Leah, and coming up on | :00:00. | :00:09. | |
Newsround: Firefighters battle to put out wildfires in Australia. | :00:10. | :00:13. | |
The toothy creatures hoping to snap up Olympics tickets in Rio. And the | :00:14. | :00:17. | |
big cats getting their claws into some Hallowe'en treats. This is | :00:18. | :00:20. | |
Newsround. First, think about your | :00:21. | :00:30. | |
grandparents. On the Newsround website, Joshua and Tamzyn say they | :00:31. | :00:34. | |
see theirs twice a week and enjoy spending time with them. But someone | :00:35. | :00:39. | |
calling themselves "R" says I don't really see my grandparents. They say | :00:40. | :00:44. | |
it's a shame as I really love them. We're asking about your grandparents | :00:45. | :00:47. | |
and elderly relatives because there's a warning today that close | :00:48. | :00:50. | |
to one million older people in England are suffering from constant | :00:51. | :00:51. | |
loneliness. England are suffering from constant | :00:52. | :00:56. | |
health in England, Health Secretary Jeremy Hunt, says we should be | :00:57. | :00:58. | |
ashamed of how Jeremy Hunt, says we should be | :00:59. | :01:02. | |
He thinks many of us are too busy to spend time with older relatives and | :01:03. | :01:06. | |
neighbours. He says we should be more like Asian families, where | :01:07. | :01:08. | |
there's much more respect for elderly people. But Labour, the | :01:09. | :01:11. | |
opposition party, has accused of him trying to blame families for the | :01:12. | :01:13. | |
government's failures. Let's take a look at some figures. | :01:14. | :01:19. | |
In Great Britain, just over half of people over the age of 75 live | :01:20. | :01:23. | |
alone. It's thought around one in ten catch up with family, friends or | :01:24. | :01:26. | |
neighbours less than once a month. And five million older people in | :01:27. | :01:30. | |
England say the television is their main form of company, according to | :01:31. | :01:34. | |
the group Age Concern. Martin's been to a project in Salford that gets | :01:35. | :01:36. | |
elderly people together. My family are very good to me. I | :01:37. | :01:48. | |
watched the news. I'm not really lonely. I got a really posh | :01:49. | :01:55. | |
television. Do you ever feel lonely? Oh, no. Some people are very lonely. | :01:56. | :02:03. | |
I can be, but I keep busy. I've always got plenty of friends around. | :02:04. | :02:09. | |
Never do I feel lonely. I always talk to somebody. Thanks, Martin. | :02:10. | :02:17. | |
Let's hear some more of your comments now, then. All day you ve | :02:18. | :02:20. | |
been leaving them on the Newsround website. | :02:21. | :02:37. | |
Next, firefighters in Australia are battling to put out wildfires | :02:38. | :02:41. | |
burning outside Sydney. These pictures show how, over time, a | :02:42. | :02:44. | |
cloud of smoke covered the whole city. More than 100 homes have been | :02:45. | :02:49. | |
destroyed and one person has died in the series of blazes across the | :02:50. | :02:53. | |
state of New South Wales. Here's Ricky. | :02:54. | :02:56. | |
For the people trying to fires 50 miles outside Sydney, | :02:57. | :03:01. | |
For the people trying to battle is taking its toll. We have | :03:02. | :03:06. | |
the best firefighters in the world. They are second to none. | :03:07. | :03:11. | |
Bush fires are common here, but these are earlier than usual, and | :03:12. | :03:16. | |
what's surprised many is how big they are and how quickly they're | :03:17. | :03:23. | |
spreading. I got the dog, a few little items, and two doors down | :03:24. | :03:27. | |
there was an explosion, maybe a gas cylinder blowing up. I knew then my | :03:28. | :03:33. | |
house was gone. It is all devastating, but we have got it in | :03:34. | :03:36. | |
short, and we are here, that's the main thing. Whole streets have been | :03:37. | :03:42. | |
destroyed in a matter of minutes. A drop in temperature and the wind | :03:43. | :03:45. | |
picking up is making it easier to control the fire at the moment. It | :03:46. | :03:49. | |
won't last forever though, it's expected to get warmer at the | :03:50. | :03:51. | |
weekend, so emergency crews are working against the clock to get the | :03:52. | :03:55. | |
fire under control and to save more homes and possibly lives. Thanks, | :03:56. | :03:57. | |
Ricky. Now to these snappy little creatures | :03:58. | :04:02. | |
who are causing a bit of trouble ahead of the 2016 Olympics in Rio. | :04:03. | :04:06. | |
Thousands of these alligator like animals known as Caimans have been | :04:07. | :04:09. | |
taking up residence inside some of the lakes on the Olympic golf | :04:10. | :04:13. | |
course. They're quite a common sight in parts of Brazil but wildlife | :04:14. | :04:16. | |
experts are trying to figure out how best to handle them before the games | :04:17. | :04:18. | |
begin. Finally, it's still two weeks away, | :04:19. | :04:23. | |
but are you desperate for a bit of early Hallowe'en action? Well, these | :04:24. | :04:27. | |
big cats at a sanctuary in America are too. They got to enjoy some | :04:28. | :04:33. | |
special Hallowe'en treats. The tigers, TJ and Bengali, got pumpkins | :04:34. | :04:37. | |
stuffed with chicken. And this gorgeous golden leopard Reno was | :04:38. | :04:40. | |
given a ghost pinata that was hung from a tree in his enclosure. Head | :04:41. | :04:45. | |
to the Newsround website to find out what this noisy little panda cub was | :04:46. | :04:47. | |
making such a fuss about! Very squeaky! Have a great evening. | :04:48. | :04:56. | |
Ricky's here in the morning. Bye! | :04:57. | :05:06. |
