Hi, I'm Hayley with your Newsround update this Tuesday morning.

:00:00.:00:00.

First, we're heading to the United States where everyone

:00:07.:00:28.

is talking about who might be the next leader of the country.

:00:29.:00:33.

Americans will vote for their new President in November,

:00:34.:00:35.

but there's one person who is making all the headlines at the moment -

:00:36.:00:39.

Here is an old trunk? One of America's most famous businessmen

:00:40.:00:56.

and he's trying to become the next US President. You are fired. Go...

:00:57.:01:03.

Up until now, he was mostly known as being a reality TV star. If you want

:01:04.:01:10.

to family... Go right ahead. You are fired. But now he has a serious

:01:11.:01:15.

chance of being the President and that is attracting huge attention

:01:16.:01:18.

from around the world, because of the things he says, which are

:01:19.:01:23.

controversial. He has been tough on immigration and wants to build a

:01:24.:01:27.

wall between America and Mexico to stop illegal immigrants from getting

:01:28.:01:31.

in. I would build a great war and nobody bowls worth that than me. He

:01:32.:01:37.

has also called for a ban on Muslims coming into the US. His message to

:01:38.:01:40.

make America great has gone down well with lots of voters who think

:01:41.:01:45.

he is a strong leader. But the people are worried, saying he is

:01:46.:01:50.

racist and dangerous. Now there has been violence at some of his big

:01:51.:01:55.

events with clashes breaking out between protesters and supporters.

:01:56.:02:00.

Donald Trump's opponents say he says things to encourage violence, he

:02:01.:02:04.

says he has not. A lot of people are worried that this year's collection

:02:05.:02:07.

will divide the country. You can find more on the US

:02:08.:02:09.

presidential contest online, including a full guide to how

:02:10.:02:12.

the American elections work and get to know more about everyone

:02:13.:02:15.

still in the race to become Experts are keeping a very close eye

:02:16.:02:17.

on puffins this year. They are now considered

:02:18.:02:27.

a threatened species, which means that numbers

:02:28.:02:29.

are getting dangerously low. A big count is under way to try work

:02:30.:02:34.

out how many are left. It's hoped that by keeping

:02:35.:02:37.

an eye on the birds, experts can work out

:02:38.:02:40.

how to help them. Out of all these birds, it's

:02:41.:02:53.

probably the most threatened of the species here at these cliffs and for

:02:54.:02:57.

us to understand how many there are as critical. We know we have over

:02:58.:03:01.

1000 pairs of breeding puffins and that's fantastic. But we have got to

:03:02.:03:06.

try and safeguard them for the future.

:03:07.:03:06.

Next, you might not be a fan of creepy crawlies but insects

:03:07.:03:09.

are essential to the planet's survival.

:03:10.:03:11.

Numbers are decreasing but now there is a new project that's hoping

:03:12.:03:14.

Insects like these aren't just nice to look at. They also do a very

:03:15.:03:31.

special job of pollination. Busy insects are attracted to flowers

:03:32.:03:35.

which contain delicious nectar like to eat. Pollen rubs off on to them

:03:36.:03:42.

and they carry it from plant to plant. Copying them to reproduce and

:03:43.:03:47.

recreate seed. But the numbers of these pollinating insects have been

:03:48.:03:51.

decreasing. The big threat to the pollinating insects is the loss of

:03:52.:03:56.

habitat, the loss of homes for nature. That has been because of

:03:57.:04:02.

changes in farming which has more chemicals and less space for

:04:03.:04:05.

wildlife to flourish because they need to create more crops on the

:04:06.:04:11.

same amount of ground. Without insects like Bees and butterflies a

:04:12.:04:14.

lot of the plants would no longer exist and this could have a big

:04:15.:04:19.

impact on the environment, animals and even is. Now a special scheme

:04:20.:04:23.

has been set up to teach us how to look after these important

:04:24.:04:28.

creatures. The pollination project wants you to learn more about

:04:29.:04:32.

pollinating insects, planting more seats to create more flowers for

:04:33.:04:36.

them and also keep a log of all the insects you see in your school and

:04:37.:04:42.

local areas. If there weren't pollinators like Bees, butterflies

:04:43.:04:44.

and beetles then there wouldn't be any flowers because they take Colin

:04:45.:04:49.

to the next flour to make more flowers. When I found out how

:04:50.:04:55.

important pollen was it was a big shock to me because it makes the

:04:56.:04:59.

world as pretty as it is now and it produces food for us. If we don't

:05:00.:05:03.

think about it, we will struggle to improve our environment. So far, 260

:05:04.:05:10.

schools across the UK have signed up and it's hoped that with their help,

:05:11.:05:11.

insect numbers will increase. Tennis now and Andy Murray

:05:12.:05:14.

crashed out of the third round of the Miami Open last night

:05:15.:05:17.

at the hands of Grigor Dimitrov. World number two Murray has won

:05:18.:05:20.

in Miami twice previously but lost out to his Bulgarian opponent

:05:21.:05:25.

who is seeded 26th in the world. Dimitrov won on his first match

:05:32.:05:37.

in London have helped with a very Baby Alex arrived on Easter Monday

:05:38.:05:40.
