It's Tuesday the 19th of January, Ricky here with this

0:00:040:00:07

morning's top stories.

0:00:070:00:09

Stay tuned to see how these vultures are being used to clean up

0:00:090:00:12

the streets of Peru.

0:00:120:00:15

And the floating bin that sucks up rubbish from the sea.

0:00:150:00:18

This is Newsround.

0:00:180:00:28

First this morning to Southern Africa where there are worries

0:00:330:00:43

about 14 million people could go hungry

0:00:440:00:46

because of a drought.

0:00:460:00:47

The United Nations world food programme says that with little

0:00:470:00:49

or no rain expected things could could get even worse.

0:00:490:00:52

Problems have been caused by a poor harvest last year

0:00:520:00:54

because of really dry weather.

0:00:540:00:55

And there are worries that the same could happen this year.

0:00:550:00:58

It's summer in Australia which, unfortunately, in some areas

0:00:580:01:00

of the country means bushfires start easily and can get quickly

0:01:000:01:03

out of control.

0:01:030:01:04

However, luckily for residents in Victoria, a state

0:01:040:01:06

in the South East of Australia, this fire was brought under control,

0:01:060:01:08

but not before it destroyed a house.

0:01:080:01:10

Residents have been told to remain close to shelter in case

0:01:100:01:13

conditions change again.

0:01:130:01:16

A sandstorm hit Egypt yesterday, it turned the sky yellow over

0:01:160:01:19

the capital city Cairo, blotting out the sun

0:01:190:01:22

and limiting visibility.

0:01:220:01:25

Some of the country's major sea-ports had to be closed and some

0:01:250:01:28

flights couldn't land.

0:01:280:01:30

The weather is expected to improve today.

0:01:300:01:33

In Mexico, in north America, one the country's tallest

0:01:330:01:35

volcanoes has erupted.

0:01:350:01:38

The Popocatepetl volcano threw ash and gas nearly

0:01:380:01:41

two kilometres into sky.

0:01:410:01:43

Those monitoring the site are warning people living nearby

0:01:430:01:47

to be ready to leave because the volcano is showing

0:01:470:01:50

signs of activity.

0:01:500:01:53

Now if you were feeling a bit blue yesterday...

0:01:530:01:55

You weren't the only one.

0:01:550:02:02

Scientists say that third Monday in January is the most

0:02:020:02:04

miserable day of the year.

0:02:040:02:06

So we've been asking what makes you happy on the Newsround website.

0:02:060:02:13

Thanks for sending all of those in.

0:02:230:02:26

And now to these two surfers in Australia who have developed

0:02:260:02:29

a new invention which is designed to collect rubbish in the oceans.

0:02:290:02:32

Here's Leah with all the details.

0:02:320:02:35

Rubbish in the ocean can cause real problems for sea-life.

0:02:350:02:39

Eight million tonnes of plastic goes into the world's oceans every year

0:02:390:02:44

and experts say it poses serious risks, especially to birds

0:02:440:02:47

and animals like turtles, dolphins and whales.

0:02:470:02:52

A pair of surfers from Perth, Australia, have invented a nifty

0:02:520:02:55

tool which they hope might help to reduce the problem.

0:02:550:03:00

Pete and Andrew have created the seabin.

0:03:000:03:03

Its special design means that rubbish floating on the water

0:03:030:03:08

is sucked into the bin.

0:03:080:03:11

The lining inside is then lifted out and the rubbish

0:03:110:03:14

disposed of properly.

0:03:140:03:16

Just now the seabin is used in ports and harbours which are areas

0:03:160:03:19

that the tide and winds push rubbish in to.

0:03:190:03:22

The guys are hoping to raise money for the project

0:03:220:03:25

online through crowd-funding.

0:03:250:03:27

A process where people can give money to support things

0:03:270:03:29

they are interested in.

0:03:290:03:31

Good luck guys.

0:03:310:03:34

To tennis now and the Australian Open is well

0:03:340:03:37

underway.

0:03:370:03:44

Johanna Konta, British number one beat seven-time grand slam champion

0:03:440:03:46

Venus Williams in straight sets.

0:03:460:03:47

Andy Murray also won in straight sets against German teenager

0:03:470:03:50

Alexander Zverev.

0:03:500:03:51

He'll now face Australian Sam Groth, holder of the game's

0:03:510:03:54

fastest serve, on Thursday.

0:03:540:03:57

To football now and Swansea are back to winning ways and out

0:03:570:03:59

of the relegation zone.

0:03:590:04:01

Thanks to a 1-0 win against Watford.

0:04:010:04:03

Defender Ashley Williams scored with a header.

0:04:030:04:13

The Swans' new manager Francesco Guidolin watched

0:04:150:04:17

on from the stands.

0:04:170:04:17

Obviously, he is coming into a strange environment,

0:04:170:04:19

he is coming to a strange club where he is probably not

0:04:190:04:22

going to know a huge amount of the players.

0:04:220:04:24

He will have first hand knowledge of them tonight,

0:04:240:04:27

but hopefully you can give him whatever.

0:04:270:04:28

Not just the players who play today but the rest

0:04:280:04:31

of the players in the squad as well and what they can offer.

0:04:310:04:34

I think we are all looking forward to working

0:04:340:04:36

with him and we are looking forward now to a positive end to the season.

0:04:360:04:40

In Peru in South America they've come up with an interesting way

0:04:400:04:42

of catching people who dump rubbish.

0:04:420:04:44

They've trained ten vultures to monitor the skies

0:04:440:04:51

above the capital city, Lima.

0:04:510:04:52

They're wearing cameras fitted with tracking systems to try to help

0:04:520:04:55

authorities find out who is leaving rubbish in places they're

0:04:550:04:57

not supposed to.

0:04:570:04:58

That's all from me for now - do join us at 8.15 when we'll be

0:04:580:05:02

finding out what makes you happy.
