Day 15 brings more gold for Team GB and it's a day | :00:13. | :00:15. | |
Stay tuned for all your Olympic news here on Newsround. | :00:16. | :00:29. | |
Good morning. I'm Ayshah. | :00:30. | :00:30. | |
The Olympics are almost over, but that's not stopped Team GB | :00:31. | :00:32. | |
They're sitting pretty at 2nd in the medal table. | :00:33. | :00:38. | |
Last night, Mo Farah claimed gold in the 5000 metres. | :00:39. | :00:45. | |
Mo Farah is going to get gold for Great Britain again. | :00:46. | :00:49. | |
It was Farah's fourth Olympic gold medal in total and he becomes | :00:50. | :00:53. | |
Britain's most successful Olympic track and field athlete of all time. | :00:54. | :00:59. | |
I have that drive and I think it's something we're born | :01:00. | :01:01. | |
with and I think, I don't know, just me. | :01:02. | :01:04. | |
That was quickly followed by a bronze in the women's 4 x 400m | :01:05. | :01:09. | |
relay to get Great Britain's 66th medal here, meaning they've | :01:10. | :01:14. | |
surpassed their haul from four years ago when they hosted | :01:15. | :01:19. | |
A special mention for the smiliest boxer in the world, Nicola Adams, | :01:20. | :01:26. | |
who defended her title and got another gold. | :01:27. | :01:28. | |
Nicola is the first British boxer to win two consecutive Olympic | :01:29. | :01:33. | |
titles since 1924 and unsurprisingly, she couldn't keep | :01:34. | :01:35. | |
The other gold of the day came from Liam Heath | :01:36. | :01:41. | |
And in the women's triathlon, Vicky Holland claimed bronze as GB's | :01:42. | :01:51. | |
But there was some bad news for Tom Daley, who made a shock exit | :01:52. | :01:56. | |
in the 10m platform diving when he failed to | :01:57. | :01:58. | |
Because it's the Olympic games, they mean so much to me and just | :01:59. | :02:04. | |
to be not in the final, to get the shot to go for that | :02:05. | :02:09. | |
But it was a record-breaking day for Team GB and another | :02:10. | :02:17. | |
From Rio to the Ballroom, and the latest Strictly | :02:18. | :02:24. | |
She's said to be inspired by fellow Team GB Olympian Louis Smith, | :02:25. | :02:32. | |
who picked up the glitterball in 2012. | :02:33. | :02:34. | |
If you want to find out who else will be dancing it up | :02:35. | :02:37. | |
in the ballroom then go online where we've got a gallery | :02:38. | :02:39. | |
You might recognise this guy, Ore, who used to be | :02:40. | :02:44. | |
It's fair to say he's probably going to be our favourite. | :02:45. | :02:49. | |
To a mission to save one of our most endangered mammals. | :02:50. | :02:52. | |
This month 100 water voles that have been raised in captivity | :02:53. | :02:55. | |
are being released into the wild in Yorkshire in | :02:56. | :02:58. | |
And we've got some top facts for you about the special | :02:59. | :03:03. | |
Meet one of Britain's most endangered mammal, | :03:04. | :03:07. | |
They might be shy and secretive, but they're the largest type of vole | :03:08. | :03:13. | |
in Britain and can often be mistaken for a rat. | :03:14. | :03:16. | |
Despite their name, they don't always live near water. | :03:17. | :03:20. | |
Inside, they make burrows underground, like moles. | :03:21. | :03:24. | |
Their homes can have many levels that help prevent flooding | :03:25. | :03:32. | |
as well as containing rooms for nesting, a food store | :03:33. | :03:34. | |
and sometimes even a little platform of twigs and grass | :03:35. | :03:37. | |
where they can sunbathe aboveground. | :03:38. | :03:39. | |
But that doesn't mean they're not brilliant | :03:40. | :03:42. | |
Did you know water voles are very strong swimmers? | :03:43. | :03:49. | |
They can reach up to 500m on the surface or 15 under water. | :03:50. | :03:54. | |
Back in the 1960s, there were lots of them in Yorkshire | :03:55. | :04:01. | |
But they were wiped out by mink, brought over | :04:02. | :04:04. | |
Conservationists hope by re-introducing them | :04:05. | :04:13. | |
into the wild, they'll be back in the countryside for good. | :04:14. | :04:18. | |
It's that time of the week for us to take a look at the | :04:19. | :04:21. | |
strangest stories we've managed to come across. | :04:22. | :04:22. | |
First up, meet one of our oldest species, the huge Greenland shark | :04:23. | :04:40. | |
who can live for up to 400 years. Unsurprisingly, that makes the | :04:41. | :04:43. | |
planet 's longest living vertebrates. That's the animals that | :04:44. | :04:48. | |
have backbones. With such long lives, the sharks can afford to take | :04:49. | :04:51. | |
things slow. They are one of the slowest swimmers in the sharp family | :04:52. | :04:55. | |
and they grow up to one centimetre per year. Now there may be times | :04:56. | :05:02. | |
when you might not like the weather in UK, but be thankful you don't | :05:03. | :05:08. | |
step outside and see this. It's what happens when winds mixed with smoke | :05:09. | :05:13. | |
and flames. This one in the US state of Oregon was probably caused by the | :05:14. | :05:18. | |
farming equipment. No one was hurt and firefighters put out the blaze | :05:19. | :05:26. | |
after an hour. Last up, zookeepers in state that a happy surprise when | :05:27. | :05:31. | |
they discovered that the panda had had twins. They knew she had one | :05:32. | :05:35. | |
baby but they didn't realise there was a second one for more than a | :05:36. | :05:39. | |
week. It's because Yang Yang has been keeping her babies between the | :05:40. | :05:42. | |
big paused to keep them warm. They could only see one at a time. And | :05:43. | :05:45. | |
That's it for now, I'll be back at 1.45pm. | :05:46. | :05:57. |
