Good afternoon, Jenny here with all the top stories | 0:00:04 | 0:00:06 | |
from around the world, this Friday. | 0:00:06 | 0:00:09 | |
We've got loads for you, so let's get started. | 0:00:09 | 0:00:12 | |
Find out how you play ping pong on the International Space Station. | 0:00:12 | 0:00:16 | |
And the goat who thinks it's a dog. | 0:00:16 | 0:00:19 | |
First - dog poo can be big issue in some parks and streets. | 0:00:29 | 0:00:32 | |
Now science is being used, in one part of London, | 0:00:32 | 0:00:36 | |
to tackle the problem of horrible, well, you-know -what. | 0:00:36 | 0:00:40 | |
Here's Ricky. | 0:00:40 | 0:00:44 | |
Dog poo. | 0:00:44 | 0:00:46 | |
It's pretty gross, isn't it? | 0:00:46 | 0:00:48 | |
You are having a nice stroll in the park when all of a sudden, | 0:00:48 | 0:00:51 | |
you come across it. | 0:00:51 | 0:00:56 | |
Don't you hate it when people don't clear up their dog's mess? | 0:00:56 | 0:00:58 | |
If only there was a way of finding out who did this. | 0:00:58 | 0:01:01 | |
I think this might be a job for the DPIU, | 0:01:01 | 0:01:04 | |
that is the Dog Poo Investigations Unit. | 0:01:04 | 0:01:14 | |
OK, so there is no such thing as a Dog Poo Investigations Unit, | 0:01:16 | 0:01:19 | |
but one local council in London is getting tough on dog doo-doo. | 0:01:19 | 0:01:22 | |
Barking and Dagenham Council have launched a scheme to test dog poo | 0:01:22 | 0:01:25 | |
to try and catch owners who fail to clear up after their pets. | 0:01:25 | 0:01:32 | |
Park Rangers will collect up samples of dog mess and send it off to a lab | 0:01:32 | 0:01:36 | |
for DNA testing. | 0:01:36 | 0:01:37 | |
The scientists will be comparing the DNA found in the samples | 0:01:37 | 0:01:40 | |
with a list of registered dogs and the owner will be tracked | 0:01:40 | 0:01:43 | |
down and fined. | 0:01:43 | 0:01:44 | |
Getting DNA from dogs involves a simple swap taking just a few | 0:01:44 | 0:01:47 | |
seconds, and will also help if the dog is ever lost. | 0:01:47 | 0:01:49 | |
But at the moment, registering for the scheme is voluntary, | 0:01:49 | 0:01:52 | |
and some people think not all pet owners will sign up. | 0:01:52 | 0:01:55 | |
A responsible dog owner will always walk around with a bag to pick up | 0:01:55 | 0:01:58 | |
whatever is necessary. | 0:01:58 | 0:01:59 | |
I just think it is a waste of money. | 0:01:59 | 0:02:08 | |
It is not realistic at all, in all honesty. | 0:02:08 | 0:02:10 | |
It is not going to work. | 0:02:10 | 0:02:11 | |
Barking Council say the doggy forensics will help keep the area | 0:02:11 | 0:02:14 | |
cleaner and mess free and wants other councils to follow suit. | 0:02:14 | 0:02:16 | |
So was this idea barking mad or will it stop owners | 0:02:16 | 0:02:19 | |
and their dogs from leaving this mess behind? | 0:02:19 | 0:02:21 | |
I tell you what, I am going home, that is enough dog poo for me today. | 0:02:21 | 0:02:30 | |
In the north east of America people have been told to get ready | 0:02:30 | 0:02:33 | |
for a major winter storm. | 0:02:33 | 0:02:35 | |
Around 50 million people could be affected by the so called "monster | 0:02:35 | 0:02:37 | |
storm," which is expected to cause terrible blizzards and white-out | 0:02:37 | 0:02:42 | |
conditions in some states, and bring traffic to a standstill. | 0:02:42 | 0:02:47 | |
Many schools have been closed today and up to 60 centimetres of snow | 0:02:47 | 0:02:50 | |
is expected in some areas over the weekend. | 0:02:50 | 0:02:52 | |
Where the Loch Ness Monster might be hiding is a question that's puzzled | 0:02:52 | 0:02:56 | |
people for hundreds of years. | 0:02:56 | 0:02:59 | |
But a new discovery might just help solve the mystery. | 0:02:59 | 0:03:03 | |
Eight miles east of Inverness in the Scottish Highlands | 0:03:03 | 0:03:05 | |
lies Loch Ness. | 0:03:05 | 0:03:07 | |
A beautiful sight, but what lurks beneath the surface? | 0:03:07 | 0:03:17 | |
There have been lots of supposed sightings of what has been | 0:03:17 | 0:03:26 | |
There have been lots of supposed sightings of what has been nicknamed | 0:03:26 | 0:03:29 | |
Nessie and endless theories | 0:03:29 | 0:03:31 | |
about what he or she might look like | 0:03:31 | 0:03:33 | |
and where the monster might live. | 0:03:33 | 0:03:35 | |
It's led to quite a few missions to try to work out what's | 0:03:35 | 0:03:38 | |
going on, all unsuccessful. | 0:03:38 | 0:03:39 | |
Now, a retired fisherman, Keith Stewart, is using special | 0:03:39 | 0:03:42 | |
sonar equipment to look for the hiding place. | 0:03:42 | 0:03:44 | |
Until now, the loch was thought to be 229.8 metres deep, | 0:03:44 | 0:03:46 | |
but by measuring signals sent from his boat to different | 0:03:46 | 0:03:48 | |
locations, he says he's discovered a crevice that goes much deeper, | 0:03:48 | 0:03:51 | |
to 270.9 metres. | 0:03:51 | 0:03:52 | |
According to him, that's plenty of room for a monster to hang out. | 0:03:52 | 0:03:55 | |
The findings haven't been officially checked yet, | 0:03:55 | 0:03:57 | |
but it's got a lot of people talking about whether we are a step closer | 0:03:57 | 0:04:01 | |
to meeting Scotland's most famous monster. | 0:04:01 | 0:04:11 | |
Comedian Jo Brand started her big challenge for Sport Relief today. | 0:04:12 | 0:04:15 | |
She's walking 150 miles in total, across England, starting from Hull | 0:04:15 | 0:04:17 | |
this morning and heading to Liverpool. | 0:04:17 | 0:04:19 | |
She'll walk around 60,000 steps each day. | 0:04:19 | 0:04:21 | |
Sounds exhausting. | 0:04:21 | 0:04:23 | |
Good luck, Jo! | 0:04:23 | 0:04:25 | |
Here at Newsround we love finding out about life on board | 0:04:25 | 0:04:28 | |
the International Space Station. | 0:04:28 | 0:04:29 | |
American astronaut, Scott Kelly, has been demonstrating how you can | 0:04:29 | 0:04:31 | |
still play table tennis in space, with special bats and, | 0:04:31 | 0:04:35 | |
of course - water for a ball. | 0:04:35 | 0:04:38 | |
Wow. | 0:04:38 | 0:04:41 | |
Before we go, meet Hobo, now, he is a goat but... | 0:04:41 | 0:04:45 | |
He acts just like a dog. | 0:04:45 | 0:04:47 | |
He loves going for walks and he even wags his tail. | 0:04:47 | 0:04:50 | |
His best friends are his owners' two dogs. | 0:04:50 | 0:04:53 | |
That's all from the team today, but Newsround is back, | 0:04:53 | 0:04:55 | |
right here on CBBC, tomorrow morning at 8.55. | 0:04:55 | 0:04:59 | |
Have a lovely evening. | 0:04:59 | 0:05:00 |
