Leah here with the top stories this Tuesday.

:00:10.:00:13.

First, Great Britain's Paralympic stars are arriving home

:00:14.:00:15.

from Rio this morning, after their most successful Games

:00:16.:00:18.

They're due to touch down shortly at London's Heathrow Airport,

:00:19.:00:23.

good morning. Welcome to Heathrow Airport. We are just waiting,

:00:24.:00:41.

moments away from them touching down, at 9am. We are all very

:00:42.:00:46.

excited. They have been on the aeroplane, taking self these, and

:00:47.:00:50.

they are coming back home. They have done really well, 147 medals, 64 of

:00:51.:01:01.

them gold. I have the family of codeine cox here. Sister, sister and

:01:02.:01:10.

auntie. How proud you? Extremely proud. Over the moon. And what has

:01:11.:01:19.

it been like watching her on TV? Amazing watching her achieve her

:01:20.:01:25.

goal. Ecstatic. Tell us where you've come from to get here to Heathrow.

:01:26.:01:31.

From Leeds. It has been a long journey. How long did it take? Three

:01:32.:01:39.

hours. But you did it for kiddie Ina? Yes. What will you do when she

:01:40.:01:49.

gets home? We will have a party. I'm sure there will be a big party for

:01:50.:01:53.

loads of the other Paralympians coming home today, so that's going

:01:54.:01:57.

to be at 9am, really shortly. Thank you so much.

:01:58.:02:00.

It's that time of year where grey seal pups are being born on beaches

:02:01.:02:03.

around the UK as pupping season gets going.

:02:04.:02:05.

But experts in Cornwall in the south-west of England

:02:06.:02:08.

are worried because some of these little guys are being forced

:02:09.:02:10.

Ayshah's been looking into this for us.

:02:11.:02:17.

The golden beaches and rocky coves of the UK coast are home to 38%

:02:18.:02:20.

of the world's population of grey seals.

:02:21.:02:24.

If you're lucky, you might spot them out at sea

:02:25.:02:30.

or hauled out on beaches, having a nap.

:02:31.:02:32.

But Snoozy has had a tough time after he was pushed back

:02:33.:02:39.

into the sea by passers by who thought that was

:02:40.:02:41.

Young seals are very small when they come out of their mothers and they

:02:42.:02:57.

don't have much muscle, so they are poor swimmers, so you should not put

:02:58.:03:00.

them back in the water. They are very rare, there are about the same

:03:01.:03:04.

number of them as there are African elephants in the world, so it is

:03:05.:03:09.

important we look after them here and make sure as many of them

:03:10.:03:13.

survive as possible. We just got a call about a rescue, so we're going

:03:14.:03:18.

to the sanctuary to find out what is going on.

:03:19.:03:40.

He was out on his own, without his mum, so they are going to make sure

:03:41.:03:48.

he's OK. We got a call about a young seal that was potentially distress.

:03:49.:03:55.

It was between some rocks, trapped, and it was underweight. What would

:03:56.:04:04.

you say to people who see a baby seal on the beach. Some people think

:04:05.:04:09.

they need to chase it akin to the water or put it back into the water

:04:10.:04:13.

by pushing it, which is the wrong thing to do. Leave it alone, keep

:04:14.:04:19.

well back, keep dogs away, then call us and we'll come and check it. The

:04:20.:04:25.

sanctuary have called the new arrival orca. He is doing well and

:04:26.:04:30.

will probably be released in a few months. What the team want to do is

:04:31.:04:35.

to avoid them coming in the first place, by reading them well alone in

:04:36.:04:36.

the wild. Newsround's back right

:04:37.:04:39.

here in about half an hour, when we'll have Paralympic champion

:04:40.:04:42.

Jonnie Peacock live in the studio. There's still time to

:04:43.:04:44.

send us a question - go online now to tell

:04:45.:04:47.

us what you wanna ask!
