Go darker known and welcome to Newsround. And we have got a load | :00:12. | :00:18. | |
of Christmas crackers for you like this: Crash-landing on the moon. | :00:18. | :00:24. | |
catch up with Father Christmas's favourite football team. And here | :00:24. | :00:34. | |

meets the four-legged stars of a First, there is a major warning | :00:43. | :00:49. | |
about the future of elephants. Conservationists say so many of the | :00:49. | :00:54. | |
animals are being killed for their ivory tusks, they may be wiped out | :00:54. | :00:59. | |
in a few years. Trading in ivory is officially banned, but experts say | :00:59. | :01:04. | |
it is not working. African elephants living in the wild face | :01:04. | :01:10. | |
lots of threats from loss of habitat to disease, but now more | :01:10. | :01:13. | |
animals are being killed by poachers Thanh dying through | :01:13. | :01:20. | |
natural causes. The poachers are after this, Ivory, and the illegal | :01:20. | :01:25. | |
trade in it is bigger than ever before. Although the trade has been | :01:25. | :01:29. | |
banned for more than 20 years, selling ivory is still legal in | :01:29. | :01:35. | |
parts of Asia like China and Japan, which means there is a big demand | :01:35. | :01:40. | |
for it. Conservationists say this loophole in the law needs to be | :01:40. | :01:47. | |
closed. We need to try and get a ban on the sound of all ivory. | :01:47. | :01:51. | |
Tanzania has lost between 30 and 50% of its elephants in the last | :01:51. | :01:57. | |
few years. If something is not done to halt this killing, East Africa | :01:57. | :02:02. | |
will lose its elephants in the next five years. They Born Freedom | :02:02. | :02:06. | |
Foundation says around 30,000 elephants are killed by poachers | :02:06. | :02:12. | |
each year. Last year, 23 tonnes of illegal ivory was seized by | :02:12. | :02:18. | |
authorities, the tusks from around 2500 elephants. Last week a | :02:18. | :02:23. | |
shipment of 24 tonnes was found in Malaysia. There are several | :02:23. | :02:28. | |
elephants at the safari park. Poachers often target the older | :02:28. | :02:33. | |
elephants because they have the biggest tusks. When they are killed, | :02:33. | :02:38. | |
this leaves the herd of honourable and can lead to the younger ones | :02:38. | :02:42. | |
dying as well. I do not think people think where it comes from. | :02:43. | :02:48. | |
They do not think, an elephant has died for me to have this ornament | :02:48. | :02:53. | |
in my house and that is what we need to get across. If poaching | :02:53. | :02:57. | |
continues at this rate, soon there could be no elephants left living | :02:57. | :03:03. | |
in the wild. While a change in the law could help, as long as there is | :03:03. | :03:08. | |
a demand, poachers are likely to carry on killing the animals. | :03:08. | :03:12. | |
Conservationists are now calling for better education. | :03:13. | :03:20. | |
The people who are in charge of the money that pays for it Britain's | :03:20. | :03:25. | |
Paralympics and Olympics, have just repealed their next funding. | :03:25. | :03:30. | |
They are cutting the budget of some sports. Swimming will see its | :03:30. | :03:35. | |
funding cut for Rea at 2016. UK Sports says its decisions were | :03:35. | :03:38. | |
based on whether the sports met their targets this year. | :03:38. | :03:45. | |
Joy earning as now is Jody Cundy. You are a Paralympics cyclist and | :03:45. | :03:50. | |
you one two goals in Beijing. You are going to get some more money in | :03:50. | :03:55. | |
the next Olympics. How well that benefit you? It will benefit us | :03:55. | :03:59. | |
because we will be able to have more training camps and more | :03:59. | :04:05. | |
development of the younger riders coming through. We can continue to | :04:05. | :04:10. | |
perform and go to Rio and be in the best shape possible. Some sports | :04:10. | :04:15. | |
will not get more funding. They will suffer, is that fair? | :04:16. | :04:20. | |
Unfortunately, that is how it has always been done. It is always | :04:20. | :04:26. | |
based on performance at the Olympic Games. Cycling did very well, so we | :04:26. | :04:33. | |
get a bonus. Some sports have lost their funding completely. Now they | :04:33. | :04:39. | |
need sponsors to come on board and help develop those sports. Why do | :04:39. | :04:44. | |
you think UK Sport has made this decision? I am not sure how it has | :04:44. | :04:49. | |
come about, but it has always done on a four-year cycle. It has always | :04:49. | :04:55. | |
been done on projections. If you do not win as many medals, the funding | :04:55. | :05:03. | |
gets cut. No pressure! Good luck in the next one. | :05:04. | :05:07. | |
Two Nasa spacecraft have crashed into the McCormack but don't worry, | :05:07. | :05:13. | |
it was done on purpose. They were fired into space last year to work | :05:13. | :05:17. | |
out the moon's secrets. Its crust is much thinner than they thought | :05:17. | :05:23. | |
and it was battered by asteroids and comets millions of years ago. | :05:23. | :05:31. | |
This is all about the Nasa mission. Two probes were travelling around | :05:31. | :05:36. | |
the moon to find out what it was made of. In the near future we hope | :05:36. | :05:42. | |
to send people in the Moon. But the mission has come to the end of its | :05:42. | :05:48. | |
light. NASA crashed the craft into the month's surfers, but they are | :05:48. | :05:54. | |
doing it so they know exactly where they land. On the moon's servers is | :05:54. | :05:58. | |
all sorts of historical information, like where the moon landings took | :05:58. | :06:08. | |
place. We do not want them crashing there. We keep the information site. | :06:08. | :06:14. | |
Eventually they will get covered in moon dust. We all want to play Mary | :06:14. | :06:20. | |
or Joseph in the school nativity, but most of us get stuck playing | :06:20. | :06:25. | |
the stars or even the sheep. Or the back end of a donkey. Leah has | :06:25. | :06:30. | |
always wanted to star as the Angel Gabriel and sheet it to a special | :06:30. | :06:35. | |
stage with a tea-towel wrapped around her head. You know it is | :06:35. | :06:41. | |
Christmas when a nativity play comes to town. Forget the glitz and | :06:41. | :06:47. | |
glamour of Hollywood, a you do not get much better than this. Unlike | :06:47. | :06:52. | |
most nativity plays these children are telling the story of baby Jesus | :06:52. | :06:59. | |
using real animals. Where they will behave? It was really funny, the | :06:59. | :07:05. | |
one I was holding was very naughty. The ship kept jumping up. Her did | :07:05. | :07:12. | |
you cope with a live performance? just kept pulling them back. | :07:12. | :07:16. | |
play is held on a farm that brings together Jordan with different | :07:17. | :07:21. | |
needs and abilities. It is an opportunity for the children to | :07:21. | :07:24. | |
come to the farm and beat the animals and learnt about fruit | :07:24. | :07:30. | |
production. In the Nativity the animals taking part in that brings | :07:30. | :07:37. | |
alive the Christian story. It is such a tight schedule that children | :07:37. | :07:43. | |
did not have any proper rehearsal time, so how did it go? It was | :07:43. | :07:49. | |
really fun and we got to see how good people are at acting. The best | :07:49. | :07:54. | |
thing for me was singing. I came dressed up as a shepherd, but the | :07:54. | :07:59. | |
only thing when you are using animals in a nativity play is that | :07:59. | :08:08. | |
somebody has to do the cleaning up at the end. I love her outfit. | :08:08. | :08:13. | |
you are doing a Christmas play, or if you have already had it, we want | :08:13. | :08:19. | |
to hear about it. Go to the website and tell us how it all went. Which | :08:19. | :08:25. | |
book or team does buy their Christmas support? The answer is FC | :08:25. | :08:31. | |
Santa Claus. There really is an FC Santa Clause who play in League Two | :08:31. | :08:37. | |
in Fenland. This season is over in Fenland for the winter, but here | :08:38. | :08:42. | |
are some of the players having a pre-Christmas kickabout in the snow. | :08:42. | :08:50. |
