Hello everyone, I hope you're all having a good weekend. | 0:00:03 | 0:00:05 | |
Here's what's coming up on Newsround: | 0:00:05 | 0:00:08 | |
Stay tuned for the incredible dinosaur discovery. | 0:00:08 | 0:00:12 | |
And epic weather pictures as a huge snow storm hammers | 0:00:12 | 0:00:15 | |
America's east coast. | 0:00:15 | 0:00:17 | |
But first to our top story, and it's a stinker. | 0:00:25 | 0:00:28 | |
A team in London are going to extreme lengths to try to stop | 0:00:29 | 0:00:32 | |
dog poo on our streets. | 0:00:32 | 0:00:35 | |
Ricky's been sniffing this story out. | 0:00:35 | 0:00:39 | |
Dog poo. | 0:00:39 | 0:00:40 | |
It's pretty gross, isn't it? | 0:00:40 | 0:00:42 | |
You're having a nice stroll in the park, then | 0:00:42 | 0:00:44 | |
all of a sudden, ugh! | 0:00:44 | 0:00:45 | |
You come across that! | 0:00:45 | 0:00:47 | |
Don't you just hate it when some people don't | 0:00:47 | 0:00:49 | |
clean up their dog's mess? | 0:00:49 | 0:00:51 | |
If only there was a way of finding out who did this? | 0:00:51 | 0:01:00 | |
I think this might be a job for the DPIU, | 0:01:00 | 0:01:02 | |
the Dog Poo Investigation Unit. | 0:01:02 | 0:01:04 | |
OK, so there is no such thing as a Dog Poo Investigation Unit, | 0:01:05 | 0:01:08 | |
but one local council in London is getting | 0:01:08 | 0:01:11 | |
tough on dog doo-doo. | 0:01:11 | 0:01:14 | |
Barking and Dagenham council have launched a scheme to test dog poo, | 0:01:14 | 0:01:17 | |
to try and catch owners who fail to clear up after their pets. | 0:01:17 | 0:01:21 | |
Park Rangers will collect samples of dog mess and send | 0:01:21 | 0:01:24 | |
it to a lab for DNA testing. | 0:01:24 | 0:01:27 | |
Scientists will be comparing the DNA found in the samples with a list | 0:01:27 | 0:01:30 | |
of registered dogs, and then the owner | 0:01:30 | 0:01:33 | |
will be tracked down and fined. | 0:01:33 | 0:01:36 | |
Getting DNA from dogs involves a simple swab, | 0:01:36 | 0:01:38 | |
taking just a few seconds. | 0:01:38 | 0:01:41 | |
It will also help if the dog is ever lost. | 0:01:41 | 0:01:44 | |
Registering for this scheme is voluntary at the moment, | 0:01:44 | 0:01:47 | |
but some people think that not all pet owners will sign up. | 0:01:47 | 0:01:50 | |
A responsible dog owner will walk around with a bag in his pocket | 0:01:50 | 0:01:54 | |
and pick it up. | 0:01:54 | 0:01:58 | |
I think this is a waste of money. | 0:01:58 | 0:02:00 | |
It's not realistic at all, in all honesty. | 0:02:00 | 0:02:02 | |
It's not going to work. | 0:02:02 | 0:02:03 | |
Barking Council say the doggy forensics will help keep the area | 0:02:03 | 0:02:06 | |
clean and mess-free, inviting other councils | 0:02:06 | 0:02:09 | |
to follow suit. | 0:02:09 | 0:02:12 | |
So is this idea barking mad, or will it actually stop owners | 0:02:12 | 0:02:15 | |
and their dogs leaving this mess behind? | 0:02:15 | 0:02:17 | |
Tell you what, I'm going home, that's enough dog poo for me today. | 0:02:17 | 0:02:25 | |
A ban on all fires has been issued in one state in Australia | 0:02:25 | 0:02:29 | |
as firefighters try to tackle blazes there. | 0:02:29 | 0:02:31 | |
It means that no open fires, such as campfires, will be allowed | 0:02:31 | 0:02:34 | |
over the next four days. | 0:02:34 | 0:02:36 | |
Authorities hope it will give fire crews a chance to bring more | 0:02:36 | 0:02:39 | |
than 70 fires burning across Tasmania under control. | 0:02:39 | 0:02:44 | |
Now, to the huge snow storm that's hitting the east coast of America. | 0:02:44 | 0:02:47 | |
A state of emergency has been declared across six states, | 0:02:47 | 0:02:49 | |
including the capital Washington, DC. | 0:02:49 | 0:02:53 | |
Public transport has been cancelled in many places and people have been | 0:02:53 | 0:02:55 | |
advised to stay indoors until the storm passes. | 0:02:55 | 0:02:58 | |
Forecasters are predicting it'll be the heaviest snowfall in 100 years, | 0:02:58 | 0:03:01 | |
with more than two feet of snow and winds of more than 50mph. | 0:03:01 | 0:03:05 | |
We've been sent this special report from two kids in Washington | 0:03:05 | 0:03:08 | |
where school has been cancelled. | 0:03:08 | 0:03:09 | |
I'm Kara. | 0:03:09 | 0:03:10 | |
And I'm Julia. | 0:03:10 | 0:03:11 | |
And we had a snow day today. | 0:03:11 | 0:03:14 | |
We live in Washington, DC. | 0:03:14 | 0:03:16 | |
Today we were supposed to be expecting 30 inches. | 0:03:16 | 0:03:19 | |
Of snow. | 0:03:19 | 0:03:22 | |
It would have been 12, but tomorrow we are going to have 30 | 0:03:22 | 0:03:27 | |
inches of snow, right here in Washington, DC. | 0:03:27 | 0:03:31 | |
And for tomorrow, we are making a sledding path that goes | 0:03:31 | 0:03:43 | |
OK? | 0:03:43 | 0:03:44 | |
And then we're going to turn left and then we're going to do a | 0:03:44 | 0:03:48 | |
snow dance like this. | 0:03:48 | 0:03:51 | |
Go snow, go snow! | 0:03:51 | 0:03:54 | |
Next, wildlife presenter Sir David Attenborough says he has | 0:03:54 | 0:03:57 | |
uncovered the world's biggest dinosaur in his latest documentary. | 0:03:57 | 0:04:01 | |
Our Leah has been to meet him to find out more. | 0:04:01 | 0:04:06 | |
A digital version of a titanosaurus. | 0:04:06 | 0:04:09 | |
But could this computer-generated dinosaur ever become a reality? | 0:04:09 | 0:04:16 | |
Sir David Attenborough, who was recently | 0:04:16 | 0:04:18 | |
part of the team that uncovered the bones of this giant creature, | 0:04:18 | 0:04:21 | |
believes anything is possible. | 0:04:21 | 0:04:22 | |
Do you think there is a possibility that scientists could bring back | 0:04:22 | 0:04:25 | |
dinosaurs from extinction? | 0:04:25 | 0:04:27 | |
It would be very, very expensive to do. | 0:04:27 | 0:04:31 | |
He believes the money would be better spent looking after animals | 0:04:31 | 0:04:34 | |
around today. | 0:04:34 | 0:04:36 | |
Plus, there would be no space for them. | 0:04:36 | 0:04:38 | |
Where would the poor thing go? | 0:04:38 | 0:04:40 | |
Where are you going to put him? | 0:04:40 | 0:04:42 | |
You've got enough problems keeping elephants and | 0:04:42 | 0:04:45 | |
finding space for them. | 0:04:45 | 0:04:47 | |
Where are you going to fit a dinosaur that is ten | 0:04:47 | 0:04:50 | |
times bigger than an elephant? | 0:04:50 | 0:04:55 | |
But he was blown away by discovery made by a team of experts. | 0:04:55 | 0:04:58 | |
This is its thighbone. | 0:04:58 | 0:05:01 | |
They found over 200 separate bones. | 0:05:01 | 0:05:05 | |
So we can be pretty sure what the animal looked like. | 0:05:05 | 0:05:09 | |
It was very, very, very, big. | 0:05:09 | 0:05:12 | |
That was a real excitement to see that. | 0:05:12 | 0:05:16 | |
For Sir David, discovering fossils is still so exciting, | 0:05:16 | 0:05:19 | |
and he believes there is so much more to find. | 0:05:19 | 0:05:24 | |
Tennis, and Andy Murray is through to the fourth | 0:05:24 | 0:05:26 | |
round of the Australian Open after beating Portugals Joao Sousa | 0:05:26 | 0:05:30 | |
by three sets to one. | 0:05:30 | 0:05:31 | |
He will play either Bernard Tomic or John Millman in his next match. | 0:05:31 | 0:05:35 | |
If that wasn't exciting enough, Yohanna Konta has become the first | 0:05:35 | 0:05:38 | |
British woman since 1987 to make it to the last 16 | 0:05:38 | 0:05:41 | |
of the Australian Open. | 0:05:41 | 0:05:43 | |
Konta thrashed Czech Republic's Denisa | 0:05:43 | 0:05:45 | |
Allertova 6-2, 6-2 in Melbourne. | 0:05:45 | 0:05:49 | |
That's all from me, Newsround's back right here at around 2pm. | 0:05:49 | 0:05:54 | |
See you then. | 0:05:54 | 0:05:57 |
