:00:19. > :00:22.Hi there. Sonali here - flying solo in the studio for the next couple
:00:22. > :00:26.of days. Team Newsround has put together a cracking show for you
:00:26. > :00:29.tonight. Coming up - why exotic pets could be bad news for British
:00:29. > :00:37.wildlife. And, we look back at the history of TV, including what
:00:37. > :00:40.Newsround used to look like back in the day. Before all that, we're
:00:40. > :00:43.waiting to hear if three Pakistani cricketers will be sent to prison
:00:43. > :00:46.for cheating in a Test match against England. Former captain
:00:46. > :00:48.Salman Butt and fast bowler Mohammad Asif were found guilty of
:00:48. > :00:54.deliberately making mistakes at certain times during the match at
:00:55. > :01:02.Lord's last summer. Mohammad Amir, in the middle here, who was 18 when
:01:02. > :01:05.the scam took place, admitted cheating. It looks like just an
:01:05. > :01:09.ordinary cricket match. When members of the Pakistan team
:01:09. > :01:14.deliver three no-balls, it seemed they were simple mistakes. In fact,
:01:14. > :01:18.it was all part of a secret scam. When you bowl, you're not allowed
:01:18. > :01:21.to step over a certain line. If you do, the umpire calls a no-ball.
:01:21. > :01:24.It's usually a mistake. However, captain Salman Butt, his bowlers
:01:24. > :01:32.Mohammad Amir and Mohammad Asif ,had plotted exactly when to bowl a
:01:32. > :01:38.no-ball. That meant people in on the scam could bet money on when
:01:38. > :01:41.the mistakes would happen and get it right every time. But the
:01:41. > :01:44.players got caught. An undercover reporter secretly filmed a meeting
:01:44. > :01:47.with their agent, where the reporter offered him thousands of
:01:47. > :01:52.pounds to help fix the match. The players have already been banned
:01:52. > :01:55.from international cricket for at least five years. In Pakistan, some
:01:55. > :02:00.cricketers are superstars and national heroes - a bit like how
:02:00. > :02:03.footballers are seen over here. People are now saying the scam has
:02:03. > :02:09.shamed cricket for Pakistan. But former England cricket captain,
:02:09. > :02:15.Michael Vaughan, thinks some good can come out of what's happened.
:02:15. > :02:20.For the good of the game and the future, I would pleased it was
:02:20. > :02:22.exposed, because I hope it sends a message to the world game and to
:02:22. > :02:32.players who would contemplate this, that you are not going to get away
:02:32. > :02:34.
:02:34. > :02:37.with it. That's what former England captain Michael Vaughan thinks and
:02:37. > :02:40.lots of you have been telling us what you think. On the Newsround
:02:40. > :02:43.website, we've been asking - should sports cheats be banned for life?
:02:43. > :02:46.10-year-old Ada says, "I think they should be banned for life. What
:02:46. > :02:49.they did is really bad". Arooba, who's 13, reckons the most suitable
:02:49. > :02:52.punishment for sport cheats would be money - a fine of �100,000 or
:02:52. > :02:55.more. And 12-year-old Hannah says they should be banned for life,
:02:55. > :02:58.since they really bent the rules. Thanks for all your comments. The
:02:58. > :03:01.world's most famous footballer has been talking about how much he'd
:03:01. > :03:04.love to play for Team GB at the London Olympics. David Beckham has
:03:04. > :03:07.been playing in America for the past couple of years, but says a
:03:07. > :03:12.place in the 2012 squad would be brilliant. We all dream it and
:03:12. > :03:16.think about it. If it happens, then I would be honoured. I'm still a
:03:16. > :03:20.kid when it comes to leading my country, or playing for my country.
:03:20. > :03:24.We have got lots of flashing pictures from Denmark, because
:03:24. > :03:29.Prince William and Kate Middleton are there helping pack up food
:03:29. > :03:33.parcels to send to kids in Somalia. It's thought around 13 million
:03:33. > :03:38.people are affected by famine. People have perhaps lost track of
:03:38. > :03:41.the terrible situation, so I think this hopefully will put the light
:03:41. > :03:43.this hopefully will put the light this hopefully will put the light
:03:43. > :03:49.back on this crisis. dogs
:03:49. > :03:52.dogs and cats and hamsters, because animals like meerkats and racoons
:03:52. > :03:59.are becoming more popular to keep at home, but this has got people
:03:59. > :04:04.worried. Meerkats in their native habitat of southern Africa.
:04:04. > :04:09.Thousands of miles away from your livingroom or back garden, but they
:04:09. > :04:13.are among the exotic species that are catching on. Michelle runs a
:04:13. > :04:21.company that specialises in breeding and selling animals not
:04:21. > :04:27.usually found in this country like exunkes and racoons. She -- skunks
:04:27. > :04:31.and racoons. She needs a special licence, but people who don't --
:04:31. > :04:37.but people who buy pets from her don't. Some think this could
:04:37. > :04:42.threaten speeb she's who live here by competing for food and --
:04:42. > :04:47.species who live here by competing for good and habitats. One example
:04:47. > :04:51.of the American mink. When some escaped it caused big problems for
:04:51. > :04:55.local wildlife. Water vole numbers dropped massively because of the
:04:55. > :04:59.invasion and even now a project is going on to remove them from
:04:59. > :05:04.Scotland. Michelle says she is very careful about who she sells a new
:05:04. > :05:07.pet to and does proper checks on everyone. You are never going to
:05:07. > :05:11.stop people keeping exotic, so I feel if I police it then some of
:05:11. > :05:16.the animals are getting all of their needs met. Experts want more
:05:16. > :05:20.to be done. The problem is, it's not people who are responsible, but
:05:20. > :05:25.people who are irresponsible. The potential for the animals to
:05:25. > :05:30.establish here and then have a profound implications for native
:05:30. > :05:35.species is very worrying. Even though it's against the law to
:05:35. > :05:39.release them into the British wild, some think it's an accident waiting
:05:39. > :05:49.to happen. A little behind-the- scenes action now, because we are
:05:49. > :05:53.going to talk TV. It wasn't always like it is now. The BBC only
:05:53. > :06:01.started regular broadcasts 75 years ago today. We have been looking
:06:01. > :06:04.back at the history of TV. The moment TV first began. The BBC
:06:04. > :06:09.broadcast the first TV programme from the studios at Alexandra
:06:09. > :06:16.Palace in London. The picture was black and white and the programme
:06:16. > :06:20.was this. # A mighty place... # Back then,
:06:20. > :06:25.there weren't many people watching. TVs were so expensive they were
:06:25. > :06:29.about the price of a car, so only about 300 people owned them. These
:06:29. > :06:32.days, we have loads of channels to choose from and even if you miss
:06:32. > :06:36.your favourite programme, you can record it or watch it again on your
:06:36. > :06:41.computer or even your phone, but 75 years ago there was just one
:06:41. > :06:45.channel. It broadcast for two hours a day and not at all on Sundays.
:06:45. > :06:53.You had to wear formal costumes, so the men would wear dinner jackets
:06:53. > :06:58.and bow ties and the women, evening frocks. On top of it, they had to
:06:58. > :07:03.wear very heavy make-up. Blue lips and blue and black eyebrowse and
:07:03. > :07:08.very white make-up on your face and arms, because otherwise you
:07:08. > :07:12.wouldn't be visible, because the sets were basic. It took another
:07:12. > :07:17.ten years before the first programme for children aired. It
:07:17. > :07:24.featured this character - Muffin the Mule. Over the years, things
:07:24. > :07:29.have changed a lot. Hello. This is what Newsround looked like when
:07:29. > :07:32.your mum and dad were watching. Then nine years ago, the first
:07:32. > :07:38.children's channel launched, CBBC, showing children's programmes all
:07:38. > :07:43.day long. Who knows what we'll be watching in the future.
:07:43. > :07:46.Just before we go, gorgeous little leopard cubs being looked after at
:07:46. > :07:51.a centre in Cambodia, after being rescued from floods. They are being
