Hello again. Leah here with Saturday's Newsround. Stick around | :00:00. | :00:07. | |
for some of this on the way... Love Dr Who? Keep watching for a first | :00:08. | :00:11. | |
look at the new trailer. And the rare camel who lives at Blackpool | :00:12. | :00:13. | |
Zoo. But first, in the last hour the | :00:14. | :00:20. | |
Queen's baton has touched down at Cardiff Airport ahead of the | :00:21. | :00:23. | |
Commonwealth Games this summer. The baton's on a journey travelling | :00:24. | :00:26. | |
around 71 nations and territories across the world. And BBC reporter | :00:27. | :00:35. | |
Cemlyn Davies is at Cardiff airport for us now. | :00:36. | :00:42. | |
The baton arrived here just after 11am today. It was all very exciting | :00:43. | :00:47. | |
and there was a really warm welcome for the plane carrying the baton. As | :00:48. | :00:53. | |
it landed, water cannon created an archway for the plane as it moved | :00:54. | :00:57. | |
into position. It was coming from Northern Ireland, because it's been | :00:58. | :01:01. | |
touring the Commonwealth. It is visiting 70 nations in total, as it | :01:02. | :01:05. | |
makes its way up to the Commonwealth Games in Glasgow. It will stay in | :01:06. | :01:09. | |
Wales now for seven days. During that time it will be taken up to the | :01:10. | :01:13. | |
summit of Snowdon, the highest mountain in England and Wales. Then | :01:14. | :01:17. | |
it will be taken into England, go through England, up into Scotland | :01:18. | :01:25. | |
and its journey will end when it arrives at the opening ceremony to | :01:26. | :01:27. | |
the Commonwealth Games in Glasgow on the 23rd of July. Now to South Sudan | :01:28. | :01:31. | |
in Africa, the world's newest country. Three years ago, when it | :01:32. | :01:34. | |
became a nation for the first time, there were huge celebrations. But | :01:35. | :01:37. | |
it's faced massive problems since. It's very poor and now war in the | :01:38. | :01:41. | |
country has put many children living there at risk. Here's Martin. | :01:42. | :01:46. | |
People across South Saddam are struggling to find enough to eat and | :01:47. | :01:50. | |
places to sleep. Aid organisations working in the country say that | :01:51. | :01:53. | |
thousands of children could die if more isn't done, and then in a | :01:54. | :01:58. | |
hurry. When food is short it is often the kids who suffer the most. | :01:59. | :02:03. | |
Charities in countries like the UK are helping, but there are so many | :02:04. | :02:08. | |
people without food or houses that they are finding it hard to cope. | :02:09. | :02:14. | |
The conditions in South Sudan at the moment are really desperate. Over a | :02:15. | :02:17. | |
million people had to flee their homes because of violence at really | :02:18. | :02:20. | |
short notice, leaving all their possessions. Hundreds of thousands | :02:21. | :02:23. | |
of children have had to flee as well and are now living out in the | :02:24. | :02:27. | |
countryside and without access to the most basic services, such as | :02:28. | :02:32. | |
school or a doctor, running water or even a toilet. That's why the | :02:33. | :02:38. | |
conditions are so difficult. So what has caused these problems in the | :02:39. | :02:41. | |
first place? It's because many people have been running away from | :02:42. | :02:46. | |
war. Since last December there has been fighting across the country. | :02:47. | :02:50. | |
South Sudan is one of the world's poorest countries, and it has people | :02:51. | :02:55. | |
from different groups, called tribes, living there. When an | :02:56. | :02:59. | |
argument began between politicians from different tribes, some people | :03:00. | :03:02. | |
from those tribes started fighting each other. And the fighting stopped | :03:03. | :03:06. | |
people from being able to grow food. So now they are beginning to | :03:07. | :03:11. | |
go hungry. But despite all these problems, the United Nations think | :03:12. | :03:15. | |
that people in South Sudan can be saved. But they will need help to | :03:16. | :03:21. | |
grow their own food. Above all, they need the fighting to stop soon. But | :03:22. | :03:25. | |
that is more difficult to do. Next, this was the moment a Japanese | :03:26. | :03:27. | |
rocket carrying space equipment blasted off from a space centre in | :03:28. | :03:31. | |
Southern Japan. On board is a high-resolution satellite which will | :03:32. | :03:34. | |
scan earth to help scientists understand more about earthquakes, | :03:35. | :03:41. | |
floods and other natural disasters. Now, most Dr Who fans will know the | :03:42. | :03:45. | |
new series starts in August with a brand new doctor. But if that feels | :03:46. | :03:52. | |
ages away, well, we've got our hands on the latest trailer for you, but | :03:53. | :03:54. | |
it's pretty short. We want you to tell us what you are | :03:55. | :04:14. | |
hoping to see from the new series. Get involved online! And we'll read | :04:15. | :04:18. | |
some of the best comments out on Newsround You'll also find this next | :04:19. | :04:21. | |
story over on the Newsround website too. Baby Bactrian camels. They're | :04:22. | :04:24. | |
an endangered species with two humps and this one lives at Blackpool Zoo. | :04:25. | :04:28. | |
But keepers are having to look after it because it was rejected by its | :04:29. | :04:32. | |
mother. She hasn't been named yet but this little calf is already part | :04:33. | :04:36. | |
of the family at Blackpool Zoo. When her mother rejected her it looked | :04:37. | :04:40. | |
like she might not survive, but staff took over caring for her and | :04:41. | :04:46. | |
now she's doing well. Mum didn't want to persist and kept kicking the | :04:47. | :04:52. | |
calf away. It was our turn to decide to give her an artificial milk | :04:53. | :04:58. | |
replacer. She is now housed with a surrogate mother. The surrogate | :04:59. | :05:01. | |
mother's world is really important. This little one has to learn how to | :05:02. | :05:07. | |
behave like a camel, but for now she prefers humans. She has to be fed | :05:08. | :05:10. | |
five times a day and staff even have to come back to feed her at 11pm. | :05:11. | :05:16. | |
And, like all newborn babies, she has to be weighed. The real test is | :05:17. | :05:23. | |
to see how she's doing. All is fine. As she gets older, to about three | :05:24. | :05:27. | |
months or so, we will start introducing some solid foods | :05:28. | :05:30. | |
gradually, then we will wean her off the milk and more onto the solid | :05:31. | :05:36. | |
food. Hopefully the rest is history. These camels are an endangered | :05:37. | :05:40. | |
species and less than 1000 remain in the wild. At least here, though, | :05:41. | :05:43. | |
these little carbs are all doing well. And the gates are just about | :05:44. | :05:49. | |
to open in Glasgow for Radio One's Big Weekend. These boys are first up | :05:50. | :05:54. | |
on stage and there'll be music from Coldplay later tonight - wish I had | :05:55. | :05:59. | |
a ticket! That's your lot for now, I'm back just before 2pm. | :06:00. | :06:00. |
