It's Tuesday 22nd April. This is Newsround with me Ricky. On the way.

:00:00.:00:12.

Water Voles making a comeback in Sussex. Find out which club will be

:00:13.:00:15.

playing Premier League footy next season. This is Newsround. First up,

:00:16.:00:26.

you've probably seen stories online and in the papers already this

:00:27.:00:29.

morning about David Moyes and his Manchester United future. The club

:00:30.:00:32.

says he hasn't been sacked but won't confirm if he'll be United's

:00:33.:00:35.

long-term manager. Various newspapers have claimed the club

:00:36.:00:38.

will say goodbye to him following a poor season. Earlier I spoke to BBC

:00:39.:00:59.

Sports Seth Bennett. All the club have said so far as he has not been

:01:00.:01:03.

sacked. Now, we expect for that to happen possibly a little but later

:01:04.:01:07.

on today the David Moyes's position now seems like it's not going to

:01:08.:01:10.

last much longer at Old Trafford. It's so disappointing for Manchester

:01:11.:01:13.

United fans. They are on their way to their worst season in 24 years in

:01:14.:01:17.

the Premier League which is incredible. That is not the first

:01:18.:01:20.

time we've heard rumours he might be facing the axe. Why today? You have

:01:21.:01:24.

got to think the embarrassment of losing 2-0 at his old club and the

:01:25.:01:28.

way Everton played, they were vibrant and played exciting

:01:29.:01:30.

football. Manchester United looked stodgy but this weekend was the

:01:31.:01:33.

weekend when they were ruled out of the Champions League. In the current

:01:34.:01:36.

world, that means big things financially because they would lose

:01:37.:01:39.

so much money from television rights. Who do we think might

:01:40.:01:42.

replace him if it is confirmed today he has been axed? They are saying

:01:43.:01:47.

it's going to be Ryan Giggs who will take over in the short term between

:01:48.:01:51.

now and the end of the season. And then the big favourite of Louis van

:01:52.:01:55.

Gaal, from the Netherlands, who will take them to Brazil, to the World

:01:56.:01:59.

Cup. After that, he's a free agent. He was linked with a job at Alex

:02:00.:02:02.

Ferguson considered retiring about ten years ago, so he would be the

:02:03.:02:06.

ideal man you would expect the stage. Now when it comes to sport,

:02:07.:02:10.

is it the winning or the taking part that counts? Well, a survey from the

:02:11.:02:13.

Marylebone Cricket Club suggests the taking part is more important for

:02:14.:02:16.

some school kids. They asked 1,000 children a series of questions and

:02:17.:02:20.

two thirds said they were not bothered by the competitive element

:02:21.:02:22.

in school sports. The poll also suggests that most kids feel their

:02:23.:02:26.

parents are more concerned about winning than the children

:02:27.:02:29.

themselves. Predators, loss of habitat and bad weather. Some of the

:02:30.:02:33.

factors being blamed for the decline in the number of water voles in the

:02:34.:02:36.

UK. According to the Environment Agency their numbers fell by a fifth

:02:37.:02:40.

in the last three years. But in one small part of Sussex, the water vole

:02:41.:02:43.

is fighting back. These conservationists are checking their

:02:44.:02:46.

traps for one of Britain's fastest declining mammals, the water vole.

:02:47.:02:49.

Many of these little creatures were tagged last year so the numbers

:02:50.:02:52.

could be monitored and in this area of the Sussex countryside, these

:02:53.:02:56.

little guys are on the up, despite the difficult conditions. They can

:02:57.:03:01.

have up to five or six litters a year so a single vole can equal a

:03:02.:03:05.

couple of hundred voles quite quickly. The reason for the research

:03:06.:03:09.

in this area is because last year, their habitat changed forever when

:03:10.:03:12.

sea defences were knocked down to make way for a better, more

:03:13.:03:15.

effective scheme to protect the coast. A new nature reserve has been

:03:16.:03:27.

built, too. It has salt water marshes on one side and freshwater

:03:28.:03:30.

on the other. What the study hopes to find out is whether the water

:03:31.:03:34.

voles are successfully moving from their old homes into the protection

:03:35.:03:37.

of the reserve and there are signs it seems to be working. This is a

:03:38.:03:42.

water vole. It's been put in quite a nice neat pile about the size of a

:03:43.:03:45.

tic-tac and he's putting it there as a marker to say this is my

:03:46.:03:49.

territory. Across the UK, the water vole has really suffered due to bad

:03:50.:03:53.

weather and predators like mink. A relative of the otter that preys on

:03:54.:03:56.

fish, small rodents and voles. In Sussex, over the last decade, we've

:03:57.:04:00.

had a 90% decrease in water voles. There are only a few sights where we

:04:01.:04:03.

have water voles' natural populations still occurring and this

:04:04.:04:07.

site is one of them. They are in there already starting to breed. The

:04:08.:04:10.

research will continue for another five years to give a close eye on

:04:11.:04:14.

the water vole population and ensure they and other native species find a

:04:15.:04:17.

new home amongst the reeds and marshes. This is the moment Burnley

:04:18.:04:24.

fans had been waiting for all season. Promotion to the Premier

:04:25.:04:27.

League. The Clarets are moving on up after a 2-0 win over Wigan Athletic.

:04:28.:04:31.

Even their mascot couldn't quite believe it. Last up, while lots of

:04:32.:04:34.

you were celebrating easter by eating eggs, kids over in America

:04:35.:04:37.

were busy rolling them. They were taking part in an annual easter egg

:04:38.:04:41.

roll at the White House where the President lives, pushing eggs along

:04:42.:04:45.

the grass with a spoon. US President Barack Obama and his wife Michelle

:04:46.:04:48.

hosted the event and later read the children a story and joined in a

:04:49.:04:51.

game of basketball. That's all from me. Leah's back this afternoon. Bye

bye.
