Hi, welcome to your wonderful Wednesday Newsround. Leah and Joe

with you, bringing bang up-to-date with the latest stories. Coming up:

Why it is a good day to be a Scottish wildcat. Find out who is

the new Strictly judge. First, how does it make you feel

standing next to these sweets? want to eat them! Me, too. That is

why supermarkets are being told off for putting so many treats next to

the checkout. Campaigners say it is wrong when so many children are -

base. Everyone has a snack they find hard to resist. Chocolate.

are waiting to pay and then what is this? A chocolate bar. Yes, please!

Some supermarkets are being told off for putting too many packs of

crisps and sweets near the checkouts. So they are easy to see

while you are waiting in the queue. Making it much more tempting to eat

less healthily. It is OK to eat this kind of thing from time to

time but many snacks contain sugar and fat. Too much of either of

these is bad for us. Nearly a third of all children are overweight. The

Government said over ten years ago they would make supermarkets put

the sweet stuff in a less obvious place to help with this and parents

are saying they should start keeping that promise. It is not

just supermarkets. Music shops and some clothes shops also do it. Will

moving them make a difference? they moved the sweets, it would be

better. If parents go to the checkout and the kids see the

sweets, the kids will want them! makes me want to have them. They

are in front of me. They are nice. Wouldn't make much difference. The

children will want them either way whether you put them in the aisles

or at the checkouts. supermarkets have made their food a

lot healthier. Where things are in the shop won't make a big

difference to what we buy. Not all shops have been told off. Some were

praised for putting fresh fruit in amongst their snacks. Tem takes is

just too hard to re-- temptation is just too hard to resist. It could

mean your snacks are soon stacked out of sight. Three every hour -

what am I talking about? The number of animals going extinct.

Scientists are warning the planet is experiencing the greatest wave

of extinction since the dinosaurs died out. No-one knows how many

species of animal there are in the world.

The news is a bit better for these guys. Three years ago, it was

thought there were only 400 Scottish wildcats left in the wild.

Scientists have found new packs living in the Highlands.

They are one of the UK's most endangered species. More fierce

than their domestic cousins, the Scottish wildcat, or high land

tiger, is rarely seen in the wild. Millions of years ago they roamed

all around Britain, but years of hunting and breeding with domestic

cats means the number of pure child wildcats left has fallen. It is

hard to know exact numbers but conservations thought there were

fewer than 400 of them left. But for the last three years,

scientists from the Cairngorms wildcat project have been using

camera traps to learn more about these mysterious creatures. Very

similar to the once I managed to attach to trees last year, but they

have now come up with some extraordinary results. They have

discovered new populations of wildcats living in the Cairngorms

National Park, an area where they are rare. We are building the

foundation for future wildcat conservation. What we have seen in

the last two or three years, more people have been inspired about

wildcat conservation, to get involved, they are reporting

sightings. It is a really very iconic Scottish animal. It is

beautifully adapted to its environment. They are different to

cats at home. They are bigger and not tame. But also they have bushy

ring tails with a black tip. It is hoped the camera project will help

everyone understand more about these wonderful species and

hopefully see their population grow in other parts of Scotland to

secure their survival for the future.

They look cute. Yeah. You wouldn't want to touch one! Showbiz.

Strictly Come Dancing has a brand- new judge and it's... Darcey

Bussell who used to be a famous ballerina. Fans will recognise her

as a guest judge three years ago. She will replace Alesha Dixon who

left to join Britain's Got Talent. Now, whether it is the Brecon

Beacons, National Parks have been around in the UK for 60 years.

everyone wanted them. This year, there is a special anniversary that

is being celebrated. National Parks - areas of protected

countryside where everyone can visit, people live, work and enjoy

the great outdoors. There are 15 National Parks in the UK, ten in

England, two in Scotland and three in Wales. When your grandparents

were children these National Parks didn't exist because the land was

privately-owned. It was here, 80 years ago, where a group of people

from neighbouring towns and cities came together to make their way up

that hill. They were angry. For most of the week they were stuck in

towns and cities. Getting away from these places wasn't easy. So an

organised mass trespass took place and the Government labelled this

area the Peak District, the UK's first National Park. Countryside

lovers have come here to celebrate the great outdoors. National Parks

are important because most people don't get to see them and they've

got lots of natural beauty. Most children don't get to do walks

because they live in cities. They don't really get to hear the

wildlife, like the birds because of the cars. Jim Loves a bit of fresh

air. Feels like this are used by farmers. What we do hear is we work

with the farmers and we work with the visitors to make sure that we

manage that so that there aren't the conflicts today that we once

had in the past. National Parks are said to be important for the UK.

They attract millions of people every year. With thousands of miles

of free open space, it is time to tie my shoelaces and get exploring!

That has made me want to go hiking. Fantastic. It would be lovely. Last

up, here is one way to make the journey home from school more fun.

This is a wacky creation called the "Ball Rider". Its inventor was

inspired after seeing his two children play with similar balls.

It can only work downhill but it can float on water. Cool! That is

all from us. Go to our website for a review of the brand-new Justin

Bieber album, Believe. I do! I will read the review. Also, don't miss
