Good morning, I'm Ayshah with Thursday's top stories. | 0:00:04 | 0:00:07 | |
Coming up in the next five... | 0:00:07 | 0:00:09 | |
We go dolphin spotting in Wales. | 0:00:09 | 0:00:12 | |
The conservationist getting ready to fly with swans. | 0:00:12 | 0:00:15 | |
And the trampoline superstar who's just won a big competition. | 0:00:15 | 0:00:25 | |
Footie news first though, and it's expected that Sam Allardyce | 0:00:30 | 0:00:32 | |
will be confirmed as the new England manager later today. | 0:00:32 | 0:00:35 | |
Allardyce has been Sunderland boss for the last nine months and managed | 0:00:37 | 0:00:40 | |
to keep his team in the Premier League last season. | 0:00:40 | 0:00:42 | |
He's thought to have met with the Football Association last | 0:00:42 | 0:00:46 | |
week to talk about replacing Roy Hodgson, who quit in June | 0:00:46 | 0:00:50 | |
after England's surprise defeat to Iceland in the Euros. | 0:00:50 | 0:00:54 | |
From footie to a sport that you may not know too much about. | 0:00:54 | 0:00:57 | |
We're talking about trampoline gymnastics. | 0:00:57 | 0:01:01 | |
This is 15-year-old Harrison from Leeds, who has won the national | 0:01:01 | 0:01:04 | |
title in the Double Mini Trampoline to become the new British champion. | 0:01:04 | 0:01:07 | |
The sport involves hurtling down a runway at top speed before | 0:01:07 | 0:01:10 | |
launching yourself into the air to perform a series | 0:01:10 | 0:01:12 | |
of high-flying stunts. | 0:01:12 | 0:01:17 | |
Each year, scientists at the Sea Watch Foundation lead | 0:01:17 | 0:01:19 | |
a week-long campaign at the start of the summer holidays to get | 0:01:19 | 0:01:22 | |
you guys, and grown-ups, out and about around the UK, | 0:01:22 | 0:01:25 | |
and we've sent Martin to Cardigan Bay in Wales to join | 0:01:25 | 0:01:28 | |
in with some young dolphin spotters. | 0:01:28 | 0:01:34 | |
Cardigan Bay. | 0:01:34 | 0:01:37 | |
A coast dotted by fishing villages, seaside resorts and beautiful | 0:01:37 | 0:01:40 | |
stretches of beach. | 0:01:40 | 0:01:42 | |
But perhaps it's best known as the home of the UK's largest | 0:01:42 | 0:01:45 | |
population of bottlenose dolphins. | 0:01:45 | 0:01:50 | |
Over the past 40 years, whales, dolphins and harbour porpoises have | 0:01:50 | 0:01:54 | |
been monitored by scientists and volunteers all around the coast. | 0:01:54 | 0:01:58 | |
And today I've joined these guys to take part in one of the annual | 0:01:58 | 0:02:01 | |
organised watches here on the Welsh coast. | 0:02:01 | 0:02:05 | |
Seawatch's conservation work hopes to improve the protection of whales | 0:02:05 | 0:02:10 | |
and dolphins around Britain and Ireland by keeping track of, | 0:02:10 | 0:02:14 | |
and identifying the individual animals here. | 0:02:14 | 0:02:18 | |
Despite whoever's at sea, not one dolphin appeared. | 0:02:18 | 0:02:24 | |
But that didn't stop these guys, who are back on land to try things | 0:02:24 | 0:02:28 | |
a different way. | 0:02:28 | 0:02:29 | |
I've looked out about five times, and every time I'm convinced that | 0:02:29 | 0:02:32 | |
I've seen a dolphin. | 0:02:32 | 0:02:33 | |
Yeah. | 0:02:33 | 0:02:34 | |
But it's not, it's a wave. | 0:02:34 | 0:02:36 | |
So, despite the disappointment so far, how were they feeling? | 0:02:36 | 0:02:38 | |
I quite like doing this sort of thing, but I haven't really | 0:02:38 | 0:02:41 | |
done it much before. | 0:02:41 | 0:02:44 | |
I felt quite disappointed that we didn't see a dolphin, | 0:02:44 | 0:02:46 | |
but I'm hoping that we'll see one later today. | 0:02:46 | 0:02:50 | |
I was really, really hoping to see one out in the wild, | 0:02:50 | 0:02:52 | |
jumping up out of the waves. | 0:02:52 | 0:02:54 | |
29 species of whale, dolphin and porpoise have been | 0:02:54 | 0:02:58 | |
recorded in our seas. | 0:02:58 | 0:03:00 | |
13 species have been identified during whale and dolphin | 0:03:00 | 0:03:02 | |
watches like this one. | 0:03:02 | 0:03:05 | |
So, why is this so important? | 0:03:05 | 0:03:08 | |
Basically, we want to know what's out there. | 0:03:08 | 0:03:10 | |
Where are they and when are they? | 0:03:10 | 0:03:13 | |
We need as many eyes as possible on the sea over the National Whale | 0:03:13 | 0:03:17 | |
and Dolphin Watch, so we'd like to encourage as many people | 0:03:17 | 0:03:19 | |
as possible to do that. | 0:03:19 | 0:03:21 | |
If anyone can go out there with their families over that | 0:03:21 | 0:03:23 | |
nine-day period that starts on Saturday, the more the better. | 0:03:23 | 0:03:26 | |
The more data we get on dolphins and the more information | 0:03:26 | 0:03:29 | |
that we have to protect them. | 0:03:29 | 0:03:32 | |
We've now been looking for dolphins for six hours. | 0:03:32 | 0:03:36 | |
And we haven't seen one. | 0:03:36 | 0:03:38 | |
Dolphins? | 0:03:38 | 0:03:40 | |
They're playing around there. | 0:03:40 | 0:03:44 | |
They seem to be really close. | 0:03:44 | 0:03:47 | |
This morning we didn't get any luck, and I was quite disappointed | 0:03:47 | 0:03:50 | |
and I really wanted to see a dolphin in the end of the day. | 0:03:50 | 0:03:53 | |
And it shows that if you have patience and you wait and you look, | 0:03:53 | 0:03:57 | |
you will find it in the end. | 0:03:57 | 0:04:00 | |
But it was well worth it. | 0:04:00 | 0:04:01 | |
There it is again. | 0:04:01 | 0:04:09 | |
And we're all very excited here at Newsround HQ, | 0:04:09 | 0:04:11 | |
because in our next bulletin at 8:15am we'll be catching | 0:04:11 | 0:04:13 | |
up with Ruby Barnhill, the 11-year-old girl who stars | 0:04:13 | 0:04:15 | |
as Sophie in the Roald Dahl classic the BFG movie. | 0:04:15 | 0:04:19 | |
And if there's anything you want to ask Ruby, | 0:04:19 | 0:04:22 | |
there's just time to send in your questions for her online. | 0:04:22 | 0:04:24 | |
And while you're there, why don't you tell us what fantastic | 0:04:24 | 0:04:27 | |
plans you have for the summer holidays? | 0:04:27 | 0:04:30 | |
And finally, the Bewick swans making their autumn migration | 0:04:30 | 0:04:33 | |
from Russia to the UK are going to have company this year. | 0:04:33 | 0:04:36 | |
Conservationist Sacha Dench is going to journey with them | 0:04:36 | 0:04:39 | |
using this motor-propelled parachute to try to find out why | 0:04:39 | 0:04:42 | |
their numbers are in decline. | 0:04:42 | 0:04:44 | |
She's been training to fly thousands of miles with the birds, | 0:04:44 | 0:04:47 | |
including over the North Sea. | 0:04:47 | 0:04:51 | |
That's all from me. | 0:04:51 | 0:04:52 | |
Newsround's back in about half an hour with actress | 0:04:52 | 0:04:54 | |
Ruby from the BFG - don't miss it. | 0:04:54 | 0:04:59 |
