0:00:03 > 0:00:08Hello, I'm Jenny and you're watching Newsround, live on CBBC, coming up.

0:00:08 > 0:00:11Why this wild cat could make a comeback.

0:00:11 > 0:00:15And the doggie food bank feeding hungry hounds,

0:00:23 > 0:00:27First up, it's more than 1,000 years since this wild cat,

0:00:27 > 0:00:29called a lynx, died out in the UK.

0:00:29 > 0:00:32Now there's a new plan to re-introduce them

0:00:32 > 0:00:38into the English countryside, but not everyone's happy about it.

0:00:38 > 0:00:43A bit like a leopard, crossed with a pet cat.

0:00:43 > 0:00:46But there's no way you've seen a lynx wild in the UK.

0:00:46 > 0:00:49That's because they used to be hunted for their beautiful fur

0:00:49 > 0:00:53and became extinct in the UK about 1,300 years ago.

0:00:53 > 0:00:57A group called Lynx UK Trust wants to bring them back.

0:00:57 > 0:01:00They'd like to release six lynx to Kielder Forest in Northumberland

0:01:00 > 0:01:03for a five-year trial and they've been talking to local

0:01:03 > 0:01:08students about it.

0:01:08 > 0:01:11That's actually how big a real-life lynx is.

0:01:11 > 0:01:15Are lynx dangerous to people?

0:01:15 > 0:01:21Lynx live all over the world and in human history a healthy wild

0:01:21 > 0:01:24lynx has never ever ever attacked a human anywhere in the world.

0:01:24 > 0:01:27The Lynx Trust said the cats will help keep the deer population

0:01:27 > 0:01:31down as well as encouraging more tourists to visit the area.

0:01:31 > 0:01:34But sheep farmers disagree.

0:01:34 > 0:01:38They are worried the lynx could be a threat to the sheep.

0:01:38 > 0:01:42I think it's an absolutely stupid idea for a predator that's not been

0:01:42 > 0:01:48in this country for 1,000 years to be released.

0:01:48 > 0:01:52As far as I'm concerned, the lynx will go for the easy target

0:01:52 > 0:01:55which is going to be a sheep and a lamb.

0:01:55 > 0:01:58The decision is now in the hands of a group called Natural England

0:01:58 > 0:02:01and if they say yes it's thought there could be eventually be

0:02:01 > 0:02:07as many as 400 lynx living in forests across the UK.

0:02:07 > 0:02:09Having pets is brilliant, but they can be very expensive

0:02:09 > 0:02:12to look after and feed.

0:02:12 > 0:02:15One woman has set up a special food bank for animals.

0:02:15 > 0:02:22Whitney went to find out more.

0:02:22 > 0:02:23Hi.

0:02:23 > 0:02:24Hello.

0:02:24 > 0:02:29Say Newsround.

0:02:29 > 0:02:30Come on.

0:02:30 > 0:02:31Hi, Marjorie.

0:02:31 > 0:02:33At your rescue centre that you manage, as you can

0:02:33 > 0:02:34hear, a lot of the dogs.

0:02:34 > 0:02:37What exactly is a doggie food bank?

0:02:37 > 0:02:39Something that is relatively new.

0:02:39 > 0:02:42We've just started it and what we were finding is a lot

0:02:42 > 0:02:46of people were ringing the rescue asking us to take their pets.

0:02:46 > 0:02:50One of the reasons is sometimes they can't afford to keep them.

0:02:50 > 0:02:52So that's where the idea of the doggie food bank came.

0:02:52 > 0:02:58People donate dog food and so that when people are struggling,

0:02:58 > 0:03:02they come here and we give them the appropriate type of food

0:03:02 > 0:03:06for the breed of dog that they have, for the age of the dog.

0:03:06 > 0:03:08Thanks, Marjorie.

0:03:08 > 0:03:11This is Toto.

0:03:11 > 0:03:13I think I've made a new friend here!

0:03:13 > 0:03:17Now it's time for me to try and feed Toto.

0:03:17 > 0:03:20This is an example of dry food, isn't it, Marjorie?

0:03:20 > 0:03:23So how much food would a dog need?

0:03:23 > 0:03:26Normally a dog on dry kibble, someone Toto's size,

0:03:26 > 0:03:29twice a day as an adult dog.

0:03:29 > 0:03:31A puppy you're looking at feeding more often.

0:03:31 > 0:03:34Small quantities but more often.

0:03:34 > 0:03:37I think Toto needs some of this food because I can feel him climbing

0:03:37 > 0:03:39up my leg ready to eat something.

0:03:39 > 0:03:41He's definitely hungry.

0:03:41 > 0:03:42Is this his first feed today?

0:03:42 > 0:03:44No, he's always like this.

0:03:44 > 0:03:50Sounds a bit like me!

0:03:50 > 0:03:52A treasure hunter, from Fyfe in Scotland, has made

0:03:52 > 0:03:53a massive discovery.

0:03:53 > 0:03:56David was 14 when he found loads of Roman silver

0:03:56 > 0:03:58with his metal detector.

0:03:58 > 0:04:00Now experts say the pieces are really important,

0:04:00 > 0:04:03because they're thought to be the oldest found outside

0:04:03 > 0:04:05the Roman Empire.

0:04:05 > 0:04:09His find is set to go on display at the National Museum of Scotland.

0:04:09 > 0:04:12Next, it's been a pretty good week for British swimmer Adam Peaty.

0:04:12 > 0:04:14He came away with two golds and a silver,

0:04:14 > 0:04:18at the World Swimming Championships in Budapest, in Hungary where

0:04:18 > 0:04:20he even broke his own world record.

0:04:20 > 0:04:22Twice!

0:04:22 > 0:04:24Well Adam will be dropping by to chat to Newsround tomorrow

0:04:24 > 0:04:26and we want your questions.

0:04:26 > 0:04:28So head to Newsround online and send them in.

0:04:28 > 0:04:32Adam could be answering them in the morning.

0:04:32 > 0:04:34Next, forget all about British astronaut Tim Peake,

0:04:34 > 0:04:37because the coolest space dude nowadays, is this guy.

0:04:37 > 0:04:40That's right, it's a dog dressed as an astronaut!

0:04:40 > 0:04:43Lots of dogs were dressed up in snazzy costumes,

0:04:43 > 0:04:46from pirates to pom poms, to take part in this competition

0:04:46 > 0:04:51in El Salvador in Central America.

0:04:51 > 0:04:53They certainly don't look ruff!

0:04:53 > 0:04:55That's all from the team for now.

0:04:55 > 0:04:56Newsround's back at 8.15.

0:04:56 > 0:04:57Bye!
