Hi guys. It's 1st November. Nel and Joe here with Newsround. Keep | :00:14. | :00:18. | |
watching for this: Pricey pets. We report on animals being abandoned | :00:18. | :00:21. | |
because they cost too much. The race to be America's next | :00:21. | :00:26. | |
President is back on. And we have had loads of your | :00:26. | :00:29. | |
Hallowe'en pictures. Stay tuned to see whether you made it into our | :00:29. | :00:39. | |
:00:39. | :00:48. | ||
First, we love our pets, but the cost of looking after them could be | :00:48. | :00:52. | |
leading more people to abandon them. Animal charity the RSPCA say | :00:52. | :00:55. | |
they've seen a big increase in the number of animals being handed in. | :00:55. | :00:58. | |
They reckon the cost of keeping pets is getting too high for many | :00:58. | :01:01. | |
families. So I've been finding out more about | :01:01. | :01:06. | |
what the charity is calling an animal crisis. | :01:06. | :01:12. | |
Pets in cages, it's a sight no one likes to see. According to the | :01:12. | :01:16. | |
RSPCA it's one that's becoming more and more common in Britain today. | :01:16. | :01:22. | |
Last year, more than 40,000 animals were handed in to the charity's | :01:22. | :01:25. | |
rescue centres. That's almost 16,000 more abandoned pets than | :01:25. | :01:31. | |
five years ago. On top of that, the charity says not enough people are | :01:31. | :01:36. | |
coming forward to adopt animals, so their centres are becoming really | :01:36. | :01:40. | |
full. These dogs are some of the lucky | :01:40. | :01:45. | |
ones. Although they had to be rescued by the RSPCA they've now | :01:45. | :01:48. | |
new owners and new homes. Today they're at this clinic to get | :01:48. | :01:55. | |
treated by vets. I wanted to give another dog a chance. I didn't want | :01:55. | :02:00. | |
a pedigree dog. He is a soft, lovely little dog. I would adopt | :02:00. | :02:03. | |
another dog again. What should people be thinking about before | :02:03. | :02:07. | |
they come to a centre like this and adopt an animal? They really need | :02:07. | :02:10. | |
to think hard on a number of levels. Can they afford it, feed that dog | :02:10. | :02:15. | |
for up to 15 years or that cat? Think really hard before taking on | :02:15. | :02:20. | |
a pet. Have you got the time and commitment? Having a pet is sa | :02:21. | :02:25. | |
privilege, it's not a right. how much can owning a dog cost? | :02:25. | :02:31. | |
Over a year a tin of dog food a day comes to nearly �300. What about | :02:31. | :02:36. | |
dried food? That's �180. Things like the vet bills, insurance, | :02:36. | :02:40. | |
boarding kennels, buying things like leads and bedding, it could | :02:40. | :02:50. | |
:02:50. | :02:53. | ||
come to a total of �820 a year. It's a lot of money but the RSPCA | :02:53. | :02:58. | |
say they desperately need people to come forward. They may have to | :02:58. | :03:04. | |
start turning animals away if the situation doesn't change soon. | :03:04. | :03:07. | |
There are just five days to go until Americans vote on who they | :03:07. | :03:10. | |
want to be their next President. The man who's already doing the job | :03:10. | :03:14. | |
- Barack Obama - or Mitt Romney? This week should have been one of | :03:14. | :03:17. | |
the fiercest of the campaign as both candidates try to convince the | :03:17. | :03:20. | |
public to vote for them. But then this happened - Superstorm Sandy, | :03:20. | :03:23. | |
and all campaigning was put on hold. So what difference has it made? | :03:23. | :03:27. | |
For weeks it's been rally after rally, speech after speech, from | :03:27. | :03:34. | |
the two men competing for America's top job. | :03:34. | :03:41. | |
But when Sandy struck, America's East Coast came to a standstill and | :03:41. | :03:46. | |
so did the campaigning. More than 70 people died and homes were left | :03:46. | :03:48. | |
without electricity. President Obama was quick to respond. I want | :03:48. | :03:52. | |
to you cut through Red Cape. I want you to cut through bureaucracy. | :03:53. | :03:57. | |
There's no excuse for inaction. the damage became clear, he visited | :03:57. | :04:02. | |
the worst affected areas to show his support. He wasn't campaigning | :04:02. | :04:07. | |
but he was on TV a lot. We are here for you. We will not forget. We | :04:07. | :04:11. | |
will follow up to make sure that you get all the help that you need. | :04:11. | :04:16. | |
He's even had praise from the most unlikely of people, the New Jersey | :04:16. | :04:20. | |
Governor and member of Obama's rival party, the Republicans. | :04:20. | :04:23. | |
been a great working relationship to make sure that we are doing the | :04:23. | :04:26. | |
jobs that people elected us to do. Eight out of ten Americans think | :04:27. | :04:30. | |
Obama has dealt with the crisis well. Has all of this made a | :04:30. | :04:34. | |
difference? It's an opportunity for President Obama to show his | :04:34. | :04:37. | |
presidential leadership, to show that he belongs in the White House, | :04:37. | :04:41. | |
that he is able to handle the challenges of being President. In | :04:41. | :04:46. | |
that respect, it certainly is, it can be a positive for him. Mitt | :04:46. | :04:49. | |
Romney's been trying to do his bit, too. On Tuesday, he turned a | :04:49. | :04:55. | |
campaign event in Ohio into a food bank for victims. | :04:55. | :04:58. | |
Campaigning is now back in full swing. Many states always vote the | :04:58. | :05:02. | |
same way but these states in yellow are the ones which are undecided. | :05:02. | :05:05. | |
They're the areas Obama and Romney need to win. That's why the | :05:06. | :05:12. | |
President is heading to Wisconsin, Nevada and Colorado and Mitt Romney | :05:12. | :05:18. | |
is in shreurg -- Virginia and Florida. The race is neck and neck. | :05:18. | :05:23. | |
Obama will be hoping the way he has dealt with Sandy has given him the | :05:23. | :05:30. | |
boost he needs. Showbiz news. | :05:30. | :05:34. | |
Now, we've seen celebs battle it out on the dance floor in Strictly, | :05:34. | :05:37. | |
but how do you think they'd do on a diving board? Olympic diver Tom | :05:37. | :05:40. | |
Daley is set to host a new TV show called Splash. Celebrity | :05:40. | :05:43. | |
contestants will be coached by top divers, who will then have to show | :05:43. | :05:46. | |
off their new diving skills in front of a live audience! | :05:46. | :05:48. | |
Can they really do that?! That looks tough. | :05:48. | :05:51. | |
Now ,safety briefings on aeroplanes. Be honest, Nel, do you really pay | :05:51. | :05:53. | |
attention to them? Hmmmm, sometimes! Well, if you like your | :05:53. | :05:59. | |
movies - this will make you listen. Please power off all electronic | :05:59. | :06:01. | |
devices. Recognise these guys? The evil | :06:01. | :06:04. | |
Sauron there with a grumpy orc and dwarf. And Gandalf the Grey makes | :06:04. | :06:10. | |
an appearance. They're all from next month's movie The Hobbit. It's | :06:10. | :06:14. | |
been made by a New Zealand airline all for a bit of fun but it would | :06:14. | :06:18. | |
definitely make me pay attention! Afghanistan has undergone a lot of | :06:18. | :06:21. | |
changes in recent years, especially when it comes to giving more rights | :06:21. | :06:25. | |
to girls and women. But one women who was forced to | :06:25. | :06:28. | |
leave the country when she was young has found a new way to give | :06:28. | :06:35. | |
girls a voice, as Hayley's been finding out. | :06:35. | :06:39. | |
Dizzee Rascal, Jay-Z, all popstars famous for rapping about their | :06:39. | :06:45. | |
childhoods in cities they grew up And now a young woman from | :06:45. | :06:51. | |
Afghanistan is doing the same. She has become the country's most | :06:51. | :06:55. | |
female rapper with a song called Our Neighbours. She raps about the | :06:55. | :06:59. | |
struggles of fleeing her country and growing up as a refugee in Iran | :06:59. | :07:04. | |
and Pakistan. Her achievement is even more remarkable considering | :07:04. | :07:07. | |
the Taliban who used to control the country banned music and until | :07:07. | :07:12. | |
recently girls were stopped from going to school. TRANSLATION: | :07:12. | :07:17. | |
I realised I could share my feelings with people by singing rap. | :07:17. | :07:21. | |
I tell people how I was living as a refugee and I can tell sad stories | :07:21. | :07:26. | |
in a peaceful way by rapping. I asked my father's permission before | :07:26. | :07:31. | |
and he said yes. She's so good she's been toured by one of the top | :07:31. | :07:34. | |
musicians in the country. Music has improved a lot in Afghanistan and | :07:34. | :07:38. | |
this young generation has the talent. They want to tell people | :07:38. | :07:42. | |
they're not extremists. They're not the Taliban. They want to help | :07:42. | :07:48. | |
change this country. Although not everyone is happy | :07:48. | :07:53. | |
about what she's doing, she hopes to use her musical success to | :07:53. | :07:56. | |
support her family who returned to Afghanistan seven years ago without | :07:56. | :08:00. | |
any money. Now she wants to set up the first | :08:00. | :08:04. | |
all-girl rap band in the country and hopes her songs will inspire | :08:04. | :08:13. | |
other Afghan girls to join her. Cool girl, isn't she? Yeah! | :08:13. | :08:16. | |
