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!
