0:00:11 > 0:00:16And the panda getting into trouble for getting dirty.
0:00:24 > 0:00:27The day's first Premier League match between Liverpool and Everton
0:00:27 > 0:00:28is underway at Anfield.
0:00:28 > 0:00:30The home side made the best possible start,
0:00:30 > 0:00:32scoring this seven minutes in.
0:00:32 > 0:00:35Everton did hit back with a Matthew Pennington goal
0:00:35 > 0:00:38but it didn't last long because Philippe Coutinho scored
0:00:38 > 0:00:42for Liverpool and Divok Origi has just added another
0:00:42 > 0:00:44so it's currently 3-1.
0:00:44 > 0:00:47A win would pull Liverpool level with second place Tottenham,
0:00:47 > 0:00:52who are ten points behind leaders Chelsea.
0:00:52 > 0:00:54Next to tennis and Britain's Johanna Konta
0:00:54 > 0:00:56will be hoping to continue her winning streak
0:00:56 > 0:00:59when she faces Caroline Wozniacki later
0:00:59 > 0:01:01in the Women's final at the Miami Open.
0:01:01 > 0:01:04She's the first British woman to ever reach the finals
0:01:04 > 0:01:06of the competition and having worked hard to get to the final,
0:01:06 > 0:01:12Konta says now is the time to enjoy.
0:01:12 > 0:01:15Most importantly will be probably to enjoy the occasion
0:01:15 > 0:01:16a little bit more.
0:01:16 > 0:01:20It's a great tournament to be a part of till the very end and
0:01:20 > 0:01:22also, it's something we worked very hard for to get
0:01:22 > 0:01:23opportunities like this.
0:01:23 > 0:01:26I get to play against an incredibly tough opponent and
0:01:26 > 0:01:30someone who's been around at the top of the game for so long now and
0:01:30 > 0:01:34so I think just overall, have good enjoyment for the challenges and,
0:01:34 > 0:01:37yeah, what will come.
0:01:37 > 0:01:39Now to the fight to save elephants.
0:01:39 > 0:01:42Over the last seven years the number of the animals in the wild
0:01:42 > 0:01:44has dropped by a third because of poaching.
0:01:44 > 0:01:47And it's all because their tusks are made of ivory.
0:01:47 > 0:01:51Here's Ricky with more.
0:01:51 > 0:01:54Thousands of shops across China sell ornaments like this
0:01:54 > 0:01:56which are made out of ivory.
0:01:56 > 0:02:00It's big business here and the items are worth a lot of money.
0:02:00 > 0:02:03Ivory comes from the tusks of elephants,
0:02:03 > 0:02:06and in Africa, many of the animals are illegally
0:02:06 > 0:02:08hunted for their ivory.
0:02:08 > 0:02:11Pressure has been put on China for years to end
0:02:11 > 0:02:14its part in the ivory trade.
0:02:14 > 0:02:16And today almost half the factories and shops
0:02:16 > 0:02:19that sell ivory in China have been shut down
0:02:19 > 0:02:24and the rest will be closed by the end of the year.
0:02:24 > 0:02:29China is the country with the world's largest ivory market.
0:02:29 > 0:02:31That's where we see the greatest demand.
0:02:31 > 0:02:36So this change is going make a real difference for African elephants
0:02:36 > 0:02:40because if we can reduce that demand, all law-abiding citizens
0:02:40 > 0:02:43will not be buying the ivory.
0:02:43 > 0:02:45This move won't totally end the problem as lots of ivory
0:02:45 > 0:02:49is bought and sold illegally, which is much harder to stop.
0:02:49 > 0:02:53But conservationists are glad that China is closing its ivory shops
0:02:53 > 0:02:56and hopes it will mean less is bought and sold in the country,
0:02:56 > 0:03:01saving the lives of thousands of elephants.
0:03:01 > 0:03:04If you want any more information on the ivory trade

0:04:15 > 0:04:18So, can the sixth series of The Voice deliver a superstar?
0:04:18 > 0:04:20It's not going to be easy.
0:04:20 > 0:04:23Recognise any of these previous winners?
0:04:23 > 0:04:24Well, maybe not.
0:04:24 > 0:04:27This year, ITV say they're doing things a bit differently.
0:04:27 > 0:04:29The winner won't release a new single straight away.
0:04:29 > 0:04:32Instead, a recording of their final performance will be available
0:04:32 > 0:04:38to stream and download.
0:04:38 > 0:04:42Then whoever wins the public vote will head into the studio to work
0:04:42 > 0:04:47with top producers and release an album a few weeks later.
0:04:47 > 0:04:50And we asked you to get in touch with who you think should win,

0:04:52 > 0:04:54First up we have Grace from Southport who says
0:04:54 > 0:04:57"I want Jamie to win. I love all of them!"
0:04:57 > 0:04:59Hope from Scotland agrees and she thinks either Jamie
0:04:59 > 0:05:01or Into The Ark should win.

0:05:06 > 0:05:08Next to Hong Kong in Asia where the seventh International
0:05:08 > 0:05:10pillow fight has been held.
0:05:10 > 0:05:13People got stuck in and it seems this Minion
0:05:13 > 0:05:15got rather a lot of attention!
0:05:15 > 0:05:18The event is held in different cities every year and the organisers
0:05:18 > 0:05:23say it's a good way to let off steam and bring the community together.
0:05:23 > 0:05:26Finally, you've probably all been there - gone out with your mates
0:05:26 > 0:05:27and come home really dirty?
0:05:27 > 0:05:30Well, this little panda in China got in a bit of trouble
0:05:30 > 0:05:32with his mum after she found him covered in mud.
0:05:32 > 0:05:35She pulled him off the ground to give him a good shake down,
0:05:35 > 0:05:41but it doesn't look like it's made much difference...
0:05:41 > 0:05:45Before I go, Ive got to tell you, if you love animals then have a look
0:05:45 > 0:05:50online at our gallery of the year's best mammal photos - super cute.
