Good morning, guys. Jenny here with news of a massive shock at the | :00:00. | :00:09. | |
Australian Open coming up. Plus, the tiny panda pulling in big | :00:10. | :00:13. | |
crowds. This is Newsround. First up: A | :00:14. | :00:20. | |
british teenager has now made history by becoming the youngest | :00:21. | :00:23. | |
person ever to reach the South Pole We told you yesterday how | :00:24. | :00:26. | |
16-year-old Lewis Clarke was on the last leg of his 7,000 mile charity | :00:27. | :00:31. | |
trek across Antartica. Well, it took a little longer than expected but he | :00:32. | :00:34. | |
arrived just after 6:00pm last night. | :00:35. | :00:38. | |
We'll be speaking to Lewis from Antartica later and there's still | :00:39. | :00:41. | |
time for you to send in your questions for him over on the | :00:42. | :00:50. | |
website. Next, to the amazing hero-rats who | :00:51. | :00:53. | |
are trained to save peoples' lives! In countries like Mozambique in | :00:54. | :00:56. | |
Africa they're being taught to sniff out deadly explosives called | :00:57. | :00:59. | |
landmines that are buried under ground. And, as Ayshah's been | :01:00. | :01:03. | |
finding out, it's helping to change the opinion of one of nature's least | :01:04. | :01:15. | |
popular creatures. These Gambian rats grow to about the | :01:16. | :01:21. | |
size of a cat. They are sniffing out explosives. Their eyesight isn't | :01:22. | :01:23. | |
great but they have a great sense of smell which makes them perfect for | :01:24. | :01:28. | |
the job. In some areas of Mozambique it is too dangerous for people to | :01:29. | :01:33. | |
live on the land which is why the rats are so important. Training | :01:34. | :01:35. | |
starts early in the morning and every time they find a mind they are | :01:36. | :01:40. | |
given banana and peanuts as a reward. Mostly people think that | :01:41. | :01:45. | |
rats are vermin and the same in African villages, people do not like | :01:46. | :02:03. | |
rats very much about where we go with the hero rats and when they see | :02:04. | :02:06. | |
what they do for humanity, people change that perception and see these | :02:07. | :02:08. | |
rats as intelligent and social animals that are actually | :02:09. | :02:10. | |
life-saving so they are really heroes. The rats are not heavy | :02:11. | :02:12. | |
enough to set off the landmines so they are not putting any danger and | :02:13. | :02:15. | |
when they are not working they have plenty of time to relax and chill | :02:16. | :02:17. | |
out with their mates. Next to a major shock at the | :02:18. | :02:21. | |
Australian Open. Number one seed Venus Williams has been knocked out | :02:22. | :02:24. | |
by Serbia's Ana Ivanovic. Williams has won the tournament five times | :02:25. | :02:27. | |
before. It's only the sixth time everthat Serena's lost a match, | :02:28. | :02:30. | |
after winning the first set. Incredible! | :02:31. | :02:32. | |
It was a big day for Bao Bao the panda cub yesterday. The four month | :02:33. | :02:36. | |
old panda made made her first public appearance at a zoo in America. | :02:37. | :02:39. | |
She's just learning to eat solid food, like bamboo, and spends about | :02:40. | :02:43. | |
20 hours a day sleeping, so visitors were lucky to see her in action. She | :02:44. | :02:46. | |
has only been visible on a special panda cam so far so seeing her in | :02:47. | :02:49. | |
person was a treat. We have been watching her on the panda cam so we | :02:50. | :02:53. | |
knew there was a chance she would be asleep this morning because she was | :02:54. | :02:55. | |
awake and we looked on the panda camps or it was very exciting. | :02:56. | :02:57. | |
That's all from me. | :02:58. | :03:01. |
