Hey, everyone, I'm Leah with your Saturday Newsround.

0:00:030:00:05

Coming up today: It's back.

0:00:050:00:11

We've got all the goss from last night's Strictly Come Dancing.

0:00:110:00:16

Triathlon superstars the Brownlee brothers tell us how

0:00:160:00:18

they helped each other as kids.

0:00:180:00:21

And the cute lion cub on display at a zoo in Peru.

0:00:220:00:27

First up, and the war in Syria is continuing with fighting,

0:00:350:00:38

making life for people there very difficult.

0:00:380:00:44

A year ago we told you about Nujeen, she's from Syria but was sent

0:00:440:00:48

by her parents to safety in Germany.

0:00:480:00:50

Her journey was made extra tricky because

0:00:500:00:51

she uses a wheelchair.

0:00:510:00:53

Now, a year on, Nujeen's talking about her new life

0:00:530:00:55

and her hopes for peace in Syria.

0:00:550:00:59

It's a journey for a new life.

0:00:590:01:01

This was Nujeen back in 2015.

0:01:010:01:04

16 years old and travelling from Syria,

0:01:040:01:06

through Europe and towards Germany.

0:01:060:01:09

She made the journey with her big sister

0:01:090:01:11

but had to leave her mum and

0:01:110:01:13

dad behind.

0:01:130:01:17

It was a difficult journey and involved travelling by

0:01:170:01:24

boat and waiting at borders of countries to find out whether or not

0:01:240:01:27

she would be allowed to continue her journey to safety.

0:01:270:01:30

Eventually she reached Germany, where her brother

0:01:300:01:31

was already living and has built a new life.

0:01:310:01:33

So how does Nujeen describe herself now?

0:01:330:01:35

The new Nujeen is just like any other person.

0:01:350:01:37

She wakes up early, she goes to school,

0:01:370:01:40

she is a hard-working pupil, I hope!

0:01:400:01:44

She speak German.

0:01:440:01:50

And she is safe, she's not afraid any more.

0:01:500:01:52

She is safe now but thinks about the fighting that is

0:01:520:01:55

still going on in Syria, comparing the country

0:01:550:01:57

to this sick person who

0:01:570:01:58

she hopes will get better one day.

0:01:580:02:01

I really miss you.

0:02:010:02:06

But don't worry, you're just

0:02:060:02:07

really, really, really sick.

0:02:070:02:09

But I'm sure you're going to get better and when you do I'll

0:02:090:02:12

be right by your side.

0:02:120:02:16

And when the fighting in Syria does stop Nujeen hopes to return.

0:02:160:02:22

And to find out more about what's happening in Syria head to Newsround

0:02:220:02:25

online for our special guide.

0:02:250:02:28

Next to the new discovery about horses, because scientists

0:02:280:02:32

say they can actually communicate with humans.

0:02:320:02:34

Researchers in Norway trained a group of horses -

0:02:340:02:38

using slices of carrot - to touch different symbols

0:02:380:02:41

when they wanted a rug put on or taken off.

0:02:410:02:46

They say it shows horses are more intelligent than we think,

0:02:460:02:48

making choices and expressing their opinions.

0:02:480:02:50

They're one of the most famous brothers in the world of sport -

0:02:500:02:54

British triathlon stars, Jonny and Alistair Brownlee.

0:02:540:02:57

They won silver and gold at the Rio Olympics last month

0:02:570:03:00

and hit the headlines this week when Alistair helped his exhausted

0:03:000:03:03

brother Jonny over the line during a race in Mexico.

0:03:030:03:08

Well, the Brownlees have been telling

0:03:080:03:10

Naz their childhood memories

0:03:100:03:14

Tell us about the time you helped each other as kids.

0:03:140:03:17

I think I was always helping him as a kid, being the older

0:03:170:03:20

brother, or trying to, at least.

0:03:200:03:22

I remember one time we were playing in a stream and we were

0:03:220:03:25

building a dam or something and he cut his finger

0:03:250:03:28

open and blood just went

0:03:280:03:30

everywhere in the stream and I held it and took him back

0:03:300:03:33

to mum and dad to take him to

0:03:330:03:35

hospital.

0:03:350:03:36

There it is.

0:03:360:03:37

He's always been looking after me.

0:03:370:03:38

What about you?

0:03:380:03:39

When have you helped him out as a bother?

0:03:390:03:41

I'm younger one so he's supposed to help me out.

0:03:410:03:44

Oh, that one time we cycled to school and

0:03:440:03:46

I had an exam and I swapped bikes with you.

0:03:460:03:48

Oh, yeah.

0:03:480:03:49

We used to cycle to school in the morning and

0:03:490:03:51

one-time Alistair got a puncture and just said

0:03:510:03:54

was, "here's a bike.

0:03:540:03:54

"I've got an exam, fix it."

0:03:540:03:56

It was a GCSE or something.

0:03:560:03:57

You left me.

0:03:570:03:58

I was about an hour late to school.

0:03:580:04:00

So that was it, that's how

0:04:000:04:02

I helped him out.

0:04:020:04:03

Well the success of the Brownlee brothers has inspired lots of people

0:04:030:04:06

to give the triathlon a go - including this lot.

0:04:060:04:08

Over a thousand kids have been taking part in an event

0:04:080:04:11

at Hever Castle in Kent where they had to

0:04:110:04:13

swim, cycle and run.

0:04:130:04:14

So how did they get on?

0:04:140:04:16

It was tough but when you find it tough I just think in my head just

0:04:160:04:20

keep on carrying on.

0:04:200:04:21

It was one of the of those lifelong dreams that I

0:04:210:04:25

almost wanted to and the Brownlees inspired me.

0:04:250:04:29

I'm happy and overwhelmed.

0:04:290:04:31

The one I think I'm going to find best is swimming.

0:04:310:04:34

It makes me think I can get more active

0:04:340:04:36

and get out more.

0:04:360:04:40

Seven million people watched Strictly Come Dancing last night

0:04:400:04:43

as a whole host of new celebrities took to the dance-floor.

0:04:430:04:48

Olympic medallist Greg Rutherford impressed the judges along

0:04:480:04:51

with former Newsround presenter Ore Oduba.

0:04:510:04:54

They're joint leaders on the scoreboard -

0:04:540:04:56

after their first dance!

0:04:560:04:57

The remaining celebs have their go tonight on BBC One

0:04:570:05:00

from 6.30 tonight.

0:05:000:05:05

Next to Alaska in North America, where police got a bit of a surprise

0:05:050:05:09

when they spotted this bear outside the car window.

0:05:090:05:11

The young black bear was caught on camera running through the town.

0:05:110:05:15

Wildlife officials eventually managed to rescue it

0:05:150:05:18

and take it to safety.

0:05:180:05:21

And because it's Saturday here's some more amazing animals.

0:05:210:05:25

This two month old lion cub has been shown off to the public

0:05:250:05:30

in Peru for the first time.

0:05:300:05:32

She's the first to be born in captivity in 20 years

0:05:320:05:35

in the South American country.

0:05:350:05:37

Zoo keepers say she's healthy, happy and enjoys nothing more

0:05:370:05:40

than play fighting with her mum.

0:05:400:05:43

And if that's not enough go online to find out why a farmer in Cumbria

0:05:430:05:47

has dyed his sheep orange.

0:05:470:05:48

That's all from me.

0:05:480:05:51

Newsround's back at 1.30.

0:05:510:05:52

See you then.
