Afternoon, all, Ayshah here rounding off all the news this Sunday. On the

:00:00.:00:09.

way in the next few minutes... We'll show you the Winter Olympics'

:00:10.:00:12.

most brutal sport. And the panda twins who still don't have a name.

:00:13.:00:21.

But first, a state of emergency has been declared in the Australian area

:00:22.:00:24.

of New South Wales - as the worst bushfires in a decade are predicted

:00:25.:00:28.

to get worse. It means anyone left in their home will be forced to

:00:29.:00:31.

leave and electricity switched off. 200 homes have already been

:00:32.:00:34.

destroyed as more than 80 blazes rage in the Blue Mountains near

:00:35.:00:42.

Sydney. Kylie is an Australian woman caught in the middle of it. Are we

:00:43.:00:52.

waiting to see what will happen this afternoon, conditions are getting

:00:53.:00:56.

worse. While being in the middle of it is horrendous, waiting on this

eye Blind is excruciating. -- one the sidelines. You realise this is a

:01:05.:01:11.

very big deal. OK, as you tuck into your Sunday

:01:12.:01:14.

lunch, it's hard to imagine that 870 million people around the world do

:01:15.:01:18.

not have enough to eat. One in eight people on the planet suffer from

:01:19.:01:21.

malnutrition. It's something that prompted Outnumbered actor Daniel

:01:22.:01:24.

Roche to send Newsround this special report from India. You might

:01:25.:01:35.

recognise me as then from Outnumbered. I am here in India to

:01:36.:01:38.

see how hard it is for children to get enough to eat. I saw examples of

:01:39.:01:43.

children who had their own aspirations in life but because of

:01:44.:01:48.

poverty, they were forced to help out with their parents' jobs. I saw

:01:49.:02:00.

centres set up to give children a safe life and a safe meal and to

:02:01.:02:04.

give them an education. I met these brothers. They are very small for

:02:05.:02:12.

their age. Almost half of the children in India are stunted, they

:02:13.:02:19.

haven't grown properly. I understood there was poverty so it didn't

:02:20.:02:22.

surprise me to see the poverty but to actually get to talk to the

:02:23.:02:25.

people and see that they were real people, irreverent just things on a

:02:26.:02:33.

TV screen, to try and feel the emotions they were feeling. I met

:02:34.:02:39.

people in India over my and had aspirations and to see that ticking

:02:40.:02:44.

away from them, it inspired me to do more. The charity is basically a

:02:45.:02:52.

relay which covers the same distance as a marathon so each person will to

:02:53.:02:59.

around six laps. It is all about raking the record. What is so good

:03:00.:03:04.

about it is it is children. So children can raise money.

:03:05.:03:07.

about it is it is children. So OK, next, experts say the first

about it is it is children. So panda cubs born in America for 6

public. The two males have been wrapped up inside a zoo in Atlanta

:03:16.:03:18.

since their surprise birth in July. A competition's running in the US to

:03:19.:03:22.

name the pair with the names announced next week. Well, just for

:03:23.:03:25.

fun we've been asking you what you'd like to call them over on the

:03:26.:03:27.

Newsround website. And Nia in Dorset's told us, "I

:03:28.:03:39.

would call them Charles after Charles Dickens and Alfred after

:03:40.:03:41.

Alfred Nobel, to represent intelligence and peace."

:03:42.:03:53.

Next to one of the most brutal sports you're ever likely to come

:03:54.:03:56.

across. Sledge hockey is described as wheelchair rugby on ice. And if

:03:57.:04:02.

playing it wasn't hard enough, the Team GB Paralympic squad have had to

:04:03.:04:05.

sacrifice more than your average athlete just to be in with a shout

:04:06.:04:09.

of qualifying for next year's Winter Olympics. You might not recognise

:04:10.:04:19.

sledge hockey but get used to it because it is a big deal. Think ice

:04:20.:04:25.

hockey but using adapted sticks and metal sledges. It is fast and

:04:26.:04:31.

furious and pretty full on. It is aggressive. Extremely fast. Team GB

:04:32.:04:42.

do not have a brilliant record and not qualify for the last games. They

:04:43.:04:48.

have never been given any money to run the sport and have to train at

:04:49.:04:55.

midnight. We have been shaking buckets in front of supermarkets to

:04:56.:05:00.

try and raise money. But things are looking up. Qualification is

:05:01.:05:07.

ruthless, sixteens head to Italy in October to take

ruthless, sixteens head to Italy in tournament. The top three go to the

:05:11.:05:11.

Winter Olympics and the bottom three do not.

:05:12.:05:19.

And if you thought that looked pretty crazy, take a look at this.

:05:20.:05:22.

It's the annual Bridge Day Festival in Virginia, USA. 450 base jumpers

:05:23.:05:26.

are hurled from 800 foot up then fire parachutes to get them back

:05:27.:05:30.

down to safety. I'll give that one a miss, I think.

:05:31.:05:37.

Finally, to the biggest face you'll ever see. I'm not being insulting.

:05:38.:05:43.

This is a special portrait of a six-year-old girl in Belfast. It's

:05:44.:05:46.

been drawn across 11 acres and the artist responsible used 30,000 pegs,

:05:47.:05:49.

2,000 tonnes of soil and 2,000 tonnes of sand to build it.

:05:50.:05:58.

That's it from me, but Leah will be back bright and early tomorrow

:05:59.:06:01.

morning with all you need to know. Bye.
