Hi guys, Jenny here, with news on who else has signed up | :00:09. | :00:11. | |
Plus what happens when you let robots loose, | :00:12. | :00:14. | |
First, to a warning that elephants in Africa | :00:15. | :00:21. | |
could be wiped out, if more isn't done to stop illegal poaching. | :00:22. | :00:24. | |
Today, new research claims the numbers | :00:25. | :00:26. | |
being hunted for their tusks, has reached a dangerous level, with | :00:27. | :00:29. | |
more elephants now being killed each year, than are being born. | :00:30. | :00:35. | |
They're the biggest land animals on earth and their herds have long | :00:36. | :00:38. | |
been seen journeying across the plains of Africa. | :00:39. | :00:41. | |
But these magnificent animals are under threat. | :00:42. | :00:47. | |
Since 2010 around 35,000 elephants have been killed by poachers | :00:48. | :00:51. | |
The rate is so high that researchers say if it continues the entire | :00:52. | :01:02. | |
We are facing an elephant poaching wiped out in a hundred years time. | :01:03. | :01:24. | |
We are facing an elephant poaching crisis at the moment. They are being | :01:25. | :01:32. | |
they are being born. | :01:33. | :01:35. | |
It's all because the demand for the ivory in their tusks is so high. | :01:36. | :01:38. | |
In parts of Asia ivory products are bought for use as ornaments | :01:39. | :01:41. | |
We need governments to take this as a serious crime. | :01:42. | :02:00. | |
Efforts to stop the poachers have been stepped up. | :02:01. | :02:02. | |
But with these latest figures it seems that even more needs | :02:03. | :02:05. | |
to be done to protect Africa's elephants in the future. | :02:06. | :02:10. | |
Moving on, the latest star name to sign up for Strictly Come Dancing | :02:11. | :02:13. | |
It's tennis star Andy Murray's mum Judy, who says she can't wait | :02:14. | :02:17. | |
is the only other name confirmed so far. | :02:18. | :02:27. | |

happens when the lights go out on a night at the museum, then just take | :02:38. | :02:38. | |
a look at this. 9pm, the lights are off and the Tate | :02:39. | :02:49. | |
Britain in London is closed to visitors. Robots have been developed | :02:50. | :02:55. | |
to roam around the art gallery at night to allow people to view the | :02:56. | :03:02. | |
art through their eyes. People can control the robots on the Internet | :03:03. | :03:05. | |
and navigate them around the gallery. They can see what is inside | :03:06. | :03:13. | |
the gallery in a way that is more fun. It has a robot in it. | :03:14. | :03:16. | |
