:00:20. > :00:27.Hi there, it's Ricky and Sonali with your end of the week Newsround.
:00:27. > :00:35.Coming up: the dangers of working with animals. This is one of the
:00:35. > :00:39.rarest cubs in the world. But what does the future hold? And the shot
:00:39. > :00:47.of a lifetime - but find out why this boy still missed out on a
:00:47. > :00:50.�30,000 prize. But first, it's time for a galactic
:00:50. > :00:59.clean-up. We're not talking crisp packets and fast food wrappers but
:00:59. > :01:02.space junk - old rocket boosters and disused satellites. NASA has
:01:02. > :01:04.been warned there's far too much rubbish floating about in space,
:01:04. > :01:09.and scientists are worried the debris could smash into spacecraft.
:01:09. > :01:12.So how do you tidy up in zero gravity?
:01:13. > :01:16.Humans have been sending things into orbit for more than 50 years.
:01:16. > :01:22.Lots of it is stuff that's needed to get you into space but not back
:01:22. > :01:26.down, so it's just dumped. Around 20,000 big bits of junk are
:01:26. > :01:28.whizzing around at more than 17,000 miles an hour. The worry is they
:01:28. > :01:31.could collide with spaceships, putting astronauts at risk, or
:01:31. > :01:34.destroy valuable satellites. There have been near misses, like when
:01:34. > :01:37.the International Space Station had to dodge some space debris, forcing
:01:37. > :01:39.the crew to get into their escape capsules to prepare for an
:01:39. > :01:49.emergency evacuation. In 2009, two satellites crashed in orbit,
:01:49. > :01:54.
:01:54. > :02:00.creating lots more rubbish. talk about clumsy, this is the
:02:00. > :02:06.moment a NASA astronaut dropped a tool bag. So what's the solution?
:02:06. > :02:12.Space experts have come up with a few ideas, including magnetic nets
:02:12. > :02:18.to catch the junk, and an umbrella- shaped device to sweep up the
:02:18. > :02:22.debris. And we've had a few ideas of our own. The stardust sweeper.
:02:23. > :02:29.That's just really a big broom. Or for those tough to reach bits of
:02:29. > :02:31.junk there is always this. We've got an important few days
:02:31. > :02:34.coming up for the home nations footy-wise. The latest round of
:02:34. > :02:37.Euro 2012 qualifiers begins tonight. That's right. Here's a reminder of
:02:37. > :02:40.who's playing who. England could give Man United trio Chris Smalling,
:02:40. > :02:43.Phil Jones and Tom Cleverley their first outings with the senior side
:02:43. > :02:50.against Bulgaria this evening. Wales play Montenegro, and Northern
:02:50. > :02:53.Ireland take on Serbia. Scotland face the Czech Republic tomorrow.
:02:53. > :02:56.We all remember the pictures of the massive earthquake and tsunami that
:02:56. > :02:59.struck the north of Japan earlier this year. Thousands of people died
:02:59. > :03:03.and the destruction was devastating. But lots of people were saved
:03:03. > :03:06.because they knew exactly what to do. Earthquakes are so common in
:03:06. > :03:09.this part of the world that every year the whole country rehearses to
:03:09. > :03:12.make sure everyone is prepared if disaster strikes. And this year was
:03:12. > :03:15.no different. Hundreds of thousands of people took part in the drill
:03:15. > :03:17.across Tokyo. Commuters evacuated a station, protecting their heads
:03:17. > :03:27.from imaginary wreckage. Rescue teams practised freeing survivors
:03:27. > :03:27.
:03:27. > :03:30.from collapsed buildings. Tokyo is the largest city in the world, so
:03:30. > :03:32.if a big earthquake hits, millions of people could be trapped.
:03:32. > :03:42.Rehearsals like these might seem extreme, but being prepared can
:03:42. > :03:43.
:03:43. > :03:50.save lives. Time now for 11-year-old twin
:03:50. > :03:55.brothers. An ice hockey stick, a tiny hole and a �30,000 prize.
:03:55. > :04:02.The challenge was tough: with one shot, hit the hockey puck into a
:04:02. > :04:07.tiny hole and win a huge cash prize. Ip possible, some might say. But
:04:07. > :04:12.watch how 11-year-old Nate Smith wax the puck through the hole 27
:04:12. > :04:19.metres away. Call it luck, call it whatever you want, but that was
:04:19. > :04:25.impressive. So, cue celebrations. When I came to sit back down
:04:26. > :04:31.everyone was giving me high fives. But there was a small detail the
:04:31. > :04:35.twins didn't let slip to begin with. This was a charity challenge and
:04:35. > :04:42.Nate took part using his procedure's ticket. That was
:04:42. > :04:46.against the rules. They didn't get the cash prize but donators are
:04:46. > :04:53.giving �20,000 to the club. thought honesty was the best policy
:04:53. > :04:57.and we wanted to set a good example to the kids. Give them the prize!
:04:57. > :05:01.If you've seen better animal pictures than these today I want to
:05:01. > :05:07.know where. They are great but they are both seriously endangered. A
:05:07. > :05:11.new BBC show is finding the world's most at risk animals and finding
:05:11. > :05:18.out what can be done to protect their babies.
:05:18. > :05:23.Martin, tell us about Nature's Miracle Babies. What it is focusing
:05:23. > :05:28.on is work around the world to try to conserve endangered animals. We
:05:28. > :05:32.went to China to look at pandas. That's a huge success story, as it
:05:32. > :05:37.has taken them years to get right but gradually they've got better
:05:37. > :05:42.and now they have a 100% success record, so they all survive. What
:05:42. > :05:48.was it like spending time with such a beautiful creature? I got badly
:05:48. > :05:55.scratched but they were gentle with me. They for my clothes to shreds
:05:55. > :06:00.literally. They sound very gentle! We looked at leopards. There are
:06:00. > :06:04.nine different species of leopards in a sub-species and only 30 of
:06:04. > :06:11.this type left in the world, so it is really important that they can
:06:11. > :06:16.breed successfully in captivity. I got to hold two baby leopard cubs.
:06:16. > :06:21.They were really fierce but that's good. They need to be fierce. They
:06:21. > :06:26.need minimal contact with humans or they become like pets. Was it hard
:06:26. > :06:32.to look at these cute, cuddly pictures? That's the danger. We've
:06:32. > :06:36.got to love the ugly once as well. Some of the difficult ones, the
:06:36. > :06:41.little tamarind monkeys, they are not easy animals. They are grumpy
:06:41. > :06:48.and they fight with each other. But we have to try to love them as well.
:06:48. > :06:52.It is easy to love the panda. It is much harder to love an ear wig.
:06:52. > :06:57.Make sure you check out our baby animal Picture Gallery on the
:06:57. > :07:01.Newsround website. If you were told there was a
:07:01. > :07:08.crocodile in your pool you would be right to be scared, unless it it
:07:08. > :07:14.was that one. He turned up for an early morning zip in Darwin
