0:00:03 > 0:00:04Hello, everyone.

0:00:04 > 0:00:07I'm Leah live with your Bank Holiday Monday update.

0:00:07 > 0:00:12Keep it Newsround for the next five for some of this.

0:00:12 > 0:00:15The moment rescued lions start their new life in South Africa.

0:00:16 > 0:00:20And the racers mowing for gold.

0:00:27 > 0:00:30First, could Leicester City be about to win the Premier League

0:00:30 > 0:00:30for the very first time?

0:00:32 > 0:00:35They edged closer after a 1-1 draw against Manchester United on Sunday,

0:00:35 > 0:00:39leaving them just two points from the title.

0:00:39 > 0:00:42Here's what their fans had to say after the match.

0:00:44 > 0:00:46When Manchester United scored, I was like, "This is it,

0:00:46 > 0:00:49"we are all done for," and then a couple of minutes later,

0:00:49 > 0:00:51Leicester City scored, I kind of like did a couple

0:00:51 > 0:00:53of fist bumps.

0:00:53 > 0:00:56The start of the second half, it was great because Leicester

0:00:56 > 0:00:59opened up and they did lots and lots of shots.

0:00:59 > 0:01:02I think a lot about the draw because it's Man United

0:01:02 > 0:01:04and they're a really good team.

0:01:04 > 0:01:06It's a good result because we've still got two

0:01:06 > 0:01:08matches to go to get it.

0:01:08 > 0:01:12I think Leicester's definitely going to win the league.

0:01:12 > 0:01:14Leicester fans will be watching from behind the sofa tonight

0:01:14 > 0:01:17as second-placed Tottenham face Chelsea.

0:01:17 > 0:01:19Tottenham must win to keep their title hopes alive.

0:01:19 > 0:01:21If they don't, then Leicester will be crowned Premier

0:01:21 > 0:01:23League champions.

0:01:23 > 0:01:28But Spurs' manager says his team are ready.

0:01:28 > 0:01:30It's football.

0:01:30 > 0:01:40I am sure they want to win us and we want to win

0:01:41 > 0:01:43and get the three points, only it's a game.

0:01:43 > 0:01:47I'm sure that we fight a lot, but nothing special.

0:01:47 > 0:01:50Dozens of lions rescued from circuses in Colombia and Peru

0:01:50 > 0:01:52in South America have been airlifted to a wildlife sanctuary

0:01:52 > 0:01:54in South Africa.

0:01:54 > 0:01:57It was an epic journey by plane and truck for the lions who have

0:01:57 > 0:02:00spent their entire lives living in captivity,

0:02:00 > 0:02:02until now.

0:02:08 > 0:02:12LION YAWNS.

0:02:12 > 0:02:19LION ROARS.

0:02:19 > 0:02:22Zeus the lion is setting his paws on African soil for the first time.

0:02:22 > 0:02:26He's one of 33 big cats to arrive at their new home after a two-day

0:02:26 > 0:02:29journey from South America.

0:02:29 > 0:02:31These lions were bred in captivity and spent their lives working

0:02:31 > 0:02:35in circuses in Peru and Columbia, where they were not always treated

0:02:35 > 0:02:41well, but once animal circuses became illegal there,

0:02:41 > 0:02:44charities were able to fight to get them released.

0:02:44 > 0:02:48These animals have never, until today, walked on grass

0:02:48 > 0:02:52and soil, so it's really magical.

0:02:52 > 0:02:54Everything we've tried to do with this project is give these

0:02:54 > 0:02:59lions back the life that was stolen from them for years with these cruel

0:02:59 > 0:03:02travelling circuses.

0:03:02 > 0:03:05Although these lions will never be able to live in the wild

0:03:05 > 0:03:09after what happened to them, it already looks like they are at home

0:03:09 > 0:03:12in their new habitat, and it's here where vets will be

0:03:12 > 0:03:15able to keep close eye on the group.

0:03:15 > 0:03:18This is the adaption time, which is the most crucial.

0:03:18 > 0:03:21They come from a completely different continent so they need

0:03:21 > 0:03:23to be monitored quite closely.

0:03:23 > 0:03:26Although these lions didn't have the best start to life, they'll

0:03:26 > 0:03:30now be able to enjoy their new home, and that means play fighting

0:03:30 > 0:03:36and what all big cats love, a good scratch.

0:03:38 > 0:03:41Now, it's Bank Holiday Monday, which means an extra day of weekend

0:03:41 > 0:03:44fun, for most of you at least.
