:02:57. > :02:58.to be winning the league, it is the reverse.

:02:59. > :03:01.So this is an incredible day for the Leicester fans and the town,

:03:02. > :03:05.You have played for Leicester in your career, you know the club,

:03:06. > :03:08.you know the fans, can you give us an idea of what kind of club

:03:09. > :03:11.it is and what it would mean to the fans in Leicester

:03:12. > :03:16.It is a small but friendly club, on the inside.

:03:17. > :03:18.What they are about to achieve now is remarkable.

:03:19. > :03:21.They just need to enjoy it, and I think they are.

:03:22. > :03:25.They know it won't happen again and they will enjoy every moment,

:03:26. > :03:36.Next, these striking pictures show the tusks of more than 6,000

:03:37. > :03:39.elephants set on fire in the African country of Kenya.

:03:40. > :03:42.A big meeting's been taking place there to talk about the problem

:03:45. > :03:47.Kenya wants to show it's doing something about it,

:03:51. > :03:58.The BBC's Anne Soy sent this report for Newsround.

:03:59. > :04:06.The big fire behind me is ivory burning. Ivory is tusks from

:04:07. > :04:10.elephants. Every elephant has two tusks but there are people who like

:04:11. > :04:14.to kill them so they can get these tusks and transport them all the way

:04:15. > :04:19.to Asia where they are very valuable because they are used to make

:04:20. > :04:23.statues and jewellery. Then Kenya is trying to tell the world that it is

:04:24. > :04:27.not good to kill elephants. It is more important to keep them alive

:04:28. > :04:32.because people can come into the country, and go to the parkings and

:04:33. > :04:36.see them. -- parks. So they have come to burn the ivory so they can

:04:37. > :04:41.tell the poach evers that we are very serious, we are coming after

:04:42. > :04:45.you and we will arrest you if you continue killing the elephants. They

:04:46. > :04:49.think that if nothing is done to stop the poach ever, then in about

:04:50. > :04:54.ten years, there will not be any elephants left in Africa, and so it

:04:55. > :04:57.is very important, for them to stop the poachers.

:05:00. > :05:01.to welcome the US President to Kensington Palace

:05:02. > :05:04.Well, now Barack Obama's joked about their meeting,

:05:05. > :05:07.saying that world leaders - and George - aren't taking him

:05:08. > :05:09.as seriously because he's about to finish his time

:05:10. > :05:14.Even some foreign leaders have been looking ahead,

:05:15. > :05:26.Last week, Prince George showed up to our meeting in his bath robe.

:05:27. > :05:34.Well, Prince George's sister Charlotte managed to escape any

:05:35. > :05:40.She's celebrating her first birthday tomorrow, and these new photos have

:05:41. > :05:50.They were taken by her mum, the Duchess of Cambridge,
