Hi! I'm Martin. I've got loads of news from around the world for you.

:00:00.:00:09.

Coming up in the next five: Another mysterious sea monster is discovered

:00:10.:00:12.

in California. And package holidays for your cuddly toys. This is

:00:13.:00:17.

Newsround. But first, a recent survey suggested

:00:18.:00:26.

that only one in five kids felt connected with the great outdoors.

:00:27.:00:33.

And children today are half as likely to play outside as much as

:00:34.:00:37.

grown ups did when they were young - instead choosing to spend their time

:00:38.:00:44.

inside with TV shows and games. Some experts say this can cause problems

:00:45.:00:48.

for your help. Nel's been to meet one dad so worried about this, he's

:00:49.:00:52.

made a film about getting kids back in touch with their wild side. It

:00:53.:00:57.

started when I noticed my children were watching too much television,

:00:58.:01:00.

certainly more than I did, and I thought, I want to do something

:01:01.:01:04.

about it. I noticed that the things they love doing our thing is like

:01:05.:01:10.

watching TV. How much do you love the television? 100 billion. It is

:01:11.:01:16.

so relaxing. They are heavily marketed, lots of markets and

:01:17.:01:21.

adverts. I thought I would make some adverts for nature. We had a lot of

:01:22.:01:26.

fun thinking of ways of getting the message across, big posters, my

:01:27.:01:32.

daughter licking a frog. Don't worry, it was a stunned frog. If we

:01:33.:01:38.

allow things to carry on, we will be completely isolated from the

:01:39.:01:43.

National -- natural world. It means you're not going outdoors and

:01:44.:01:46.

getting the benefits you get from being in a lovely space like this. I

:01:47.:01:50.

met children from around the UK and ask them what they thought about

:01:51.:02:00.

nature. It is unhygienic. I think more children should play

:02:01.:02:05.

outside because it is more fun and you get more fresh air. I once spent

:02:06.:02:12.

13 hours on the PlayStation. I wished I hadn't because after that I

:02:13.:02:18.

had a really bad headache and I could not get to sleep. Look at how

:02:19.:02:24.

long you spending on your screen time, swap it for some wild time,

:02:25.:02:28.

because it will do you a lot of good and you will enjoy it. Fire crews in

:02:29.:02:33.

tackling wildfires in Australia have merged two fires to try to

:02:34.:02:37.

control the blaze. There were fears that three of the fires west of

:02:38.:02:41.

Sydney would join to create a huge mega-fire. So fire fighters struck

:02:42.:02:43.

first, combining two of the fires into one that is easier to manage

:02:44.:02:45.

and contain. A chemical blamed for the deaths of

:02:46.:02:51.

thousands of sea birds across A chemical blamed for the deaths of

south of England earlier this year will no longer be dumped at sea

:02:57.:02:59.

after a worldwide ban. The substance known as PIB caused an estimated

:03:00.:03:02.

4,000 bird deaths after being flushed into the sea by ships.

:03:03.:03:05.

Around 20 different species of bird were found washed up on beaches

:03:06.:03:10.

covered in the glue-like substance. Next - sea monsters - or at least,

:03:11.:03:14.

some seriously big fish. Last week, a 5-metre-long oarfish washed up on

:03:15.:03:18.

a beach in California - now a second mysterious fish has turned up and

:03:19.:03:21.

the animals have been causing a bit of a stir both on the beach and on

:03:22.:03:24.

social media. Imagine seeing something like this

:03:25.:03:39.

on your school trip. I was thinking I had no idea what it is. It looks

:03:40.:03:42.

like a snake but the giant eel. Oarfish are a little-known

:03:43.:03:44.

mysterious species that swim deep nearly a kilometre below the ocean's

:03:45.:03:48.

surface. Their strange looks and giant bodies mean they're the source

:03:49.:03:51.

of sea monster myths. Now there are rumours on social media that an

:03:52.:03:55.

earthquake is to blame - thanks to an ancient Japanese myth linking

:03:56.:03:57.

extremely rare oarfish sightings to tremors. But though scientists have

:03:58.:04:00.

dismissed these claims, they're still not sure why these fish are

:04:01.:04:09.

washing up on beaches. These two events are the only ones I have ever

:04:10.:04:12.

heard of. Tests on the first giant fish have revealed that it was in

:04:13.:04:16.

good health. So experts want to study this second specimen to learn

:04:17.:04:19.

more about this rare creature - and work out how it got here. Now we all

:04:20.:04:24.

like a holiday, but would you book one for your favourite toy? Well, a

:04:25.:04:28.

company in Japan is offering people to chance to do just that. Ungai

:04:29.:04:32.

Travel will pack toys off on their jollies for around 30 quid. And this

:04:33.:04:37.

got us wondering - if you could send your toys on holiday, where would

:04:38.:04:40.

they go? Emma would send her koala teddy to Australia so he would get

:04:41.:04:44.

to see some real koalas. But Theoharis would go even further He

:04:45.:04:47.

says he'd send his toy to the International Space Station. To find

Awards, head online, where you can see Hacker T Dog's reaction to his

:04:56.:04:59.

double nomination! But I'm out of time - I'll be back at 6:50 with
