Hi, I'm Martin and this is Newsround. | :00:00. | :00:00. | |
Coming up in the next few minutes... | :00:00. | :00:00. | |
A treasure hunter who's hit the jackpot | :00:00. | :00:11. | |
and what Harry Styles and this baby seal have in common. | :00:12. | :00:21. | |
It's more than 1,000 years since this type of wild cat, | :00:22. | :00:24. | |
Now there's a new plan to re-introduce them | :00:25. | :00:30. | |
into the English countryside, but not everyone's happy about it. | :00:31. | :00:36. | |
A bit like a leopard, crossed with a pet cat. | :00:37. | :00:38. | |
But there's no way you've seen a lynx wild in the UK. | :00:39. | :00:43. | |
That's because they used to be hunted for their beautiful fur | :00:44. | :00:47. | |
and became extinct in the UK about 1,300 years ago. | :00:48. | :00:51. | |
A group called Lynx UK Trust wants to bring them back. | :00:52. | :00:55. | |
They'd like to release six lynx to Kielder Forest in Northumberland | :00:56. | :00:57. | |
for a five-year trial and they've been talking to local | :00:58. | :01:00. | |
That's actually how big a real-life lynx is. | :01:01. | :01:07. | |
Lynx live all over the world and in human history a healthy wild | :01:08. | :01:15. | |
lynx has never ever ever attacked a human anywhere in the world. | :01:16. | :01:21. | |
The Lynx Trust said the cats will help keep the deer population | :01:22. | :01:24. | |
down as well as encouraging more tourists to visit the area. | :01:25. | :01:28. | |
They are worried the lynx could be a threat to the sheep. | :01:29. | :01:34. | |
I think it's an absolutely stupid idea for a predator that's not been | :01:35. | :01:40. | |
in this country for 1,000 years to be released. | :01:41. | :01:45. | |
As far as I'm concerned, the lynx will go for the easy target | :01:46. | :01:49. | |
which is going to be a sheep and a lamb. | :01:50. | :01:52. | |
The decision is now in the hands of a group called Natural England | :01:53. | :01:56. | |
and if they say yes it's thought there could be eventually be | :01:57. | :01:59. | |
as many as 400 lynx living in forests across the UK. | :02:00. | :02:12. | |
Close your eyes and try to imagine what you will do in 2028. | :02:13. | :02:15. | |
Well, it might seem a very long way away but that's when the Olympic | :02:16. | :02:19. | |
and Paralympic Games are set to be held in Los Angeles in the US. | :02:20. | :02:22. | |
LA had originally wanted the 2024 Games, but that event is now set | :02:23. | :02:25. | |
Next - what's the best way to put out a fire? | :02:26. | :02:29. | |
Well that's exactly what this Canadian couple did | :02:30. | :02:35. | |
when they spotted a wildfire on the river bank. | :02:36. | :02:37. | |
After calling the fire brigade, they drove | :02:38. | :02:40. | |
the speedboat close to shore spinning it so water | :02:41. | :02:42. | |
Next to one boy, one metal detector, and one very exciting discovery. | :02:43. | :02:46. | |
David is spending his school holidays are helping recesses pieced | :02:47. | :03:06. | |
together a mystery. He'd joined a local metal | :03:07. | :03:07. | |
detecting club on an outing And even though he'd only been | :03:08. | :03:10. | |
doing it for 3 months, There were a metal detectives, there | :03:11. | :03:18. | |
were three fields and nothing had come up of note. All of a sudden I | :03:19. | :03:24. | |
found a few bits of silver and I showed it to a friend who said that | :03:25. | :03:30. | |
it was Roman and then after that we found another 200 pieces on the | :03:31. | :03:31. | |
first day. are really important, | :03:32. | :03:33. | |
because they're thought to be the oldest found | :03:34. | :03:35. | |
outside the Roman Empire. They think the silver was used | :03:36. | :03:37. | |
by Roman soldiers, as payment, when they were passing | :03:38. | :03:40. | |
through Scotland, way back People used to think that this | :03:41. | :03:53. | |
hacked up silver was to do with barbarians, couldn't understand the | :03:54. | :03:56. | |
Roman art but now we see that happening in the Roman world itself. | :03:57. | :04:00. | |
It is been cut carefully, it may look brutal but these things have | :04:01. | :04:04. | |
been cut carefully in quarters to Roman weight standard. | :04:05. | :04:07. | |
and his treasure is set to go on display at the National Museum | :04:08. | :04:13. | |
A dog and his owner have been rescued after their car got stuck | :04:14. | :04:17. | |
in a flood in Colorado, America. | :04:18. | :04:19. | |
Petey's owner handed him over to the rescuers first | :04:20. | :04:21. | |
before he would leave the flooded car himself. | :04:22. | :04:24. | |
They then walked across a crane to safety and dry land. | :04:25. | :04:28. | |
Next, what do you think the connection between Harry Styles | :04:29. | :04:33. | |
Well it turns out they both have the same name! | :04:34. | :04:40. | |
RSPCA staff were called out to rescue the seal after it got stuck | :04:41. | :04:46. | |
in some rocks in Merseyside. They named him Harry Stiles and have been | :04:47. | :04:50. | |
looking after him at a rescue centre. | :04:51. | :04:51. | |
That's all from me, Newsround's back at 7.40 in the morning. | :04:52. | :05:01. | |
I love Art Ninja! I love The Next Step! | :05:02. | :05:05. |
