:00:18. > :00:22.Hi there. Sonali and Ore in the Newsround driving seat today.
:00:22. > :00:27.That's right and we have a feast of news and views for you. Coming up:
:00:27. > :00:34.I've been finding out about the end of time! Sort of. And I've worked
:00:34. > :00:38.out whether yetis actually exist or not. Well, nearly.
:00:38. > :00:42.I can't wait for that. First though, the RSPCA says it's running out of
:00:42. > :00:46.time to raise enough money to open a brand new hospital for abandoned
:00:46. > :00:49.animals. Thousands of creatures have been cared for at their old
:00:49. > :00:52.centre near Birmingham, but now it's falling apart. The RSPCA was
:00:52. > :01:02.the world's first animal charity and the new hospital will bring it
:01:02. > :01:12.
:01:12. > :01:17.right into the 21st century. They say every four minutes of an
:01:17. > :01:26.abandoned animal is rescued by the RSPCA. Many of them end up here, at
:01:26. > :01:31.The centre was built 50 years ago and now it has reached its sell-by
:01:31. > :01:35.date. Broken glass, cracked walls and out of date equipment. On the
:01:35. > :01:39.telly it is really hard to get a picture of how bad this place
:01:39. > :01:45.really is because not only does it look depressing, but it smells as
:01:45. > :01:52.well. In the bricks, diseases all over the place. That is why this
:01:52. > :01:56.part has been abandoned because it is not say for the animals. -- say.
:01:56. > :02:01.Everything is falling apart. It gets to a point where you can't
:02:01. > :02:06.pitch up -- catch up buildings any more and they have to be rebuilt.
:02:06. > :02:11.We have to provide them with their care they need, but without the
:02:11. > :02:16.facilities, it is very difficult. The RSPCA have started work on a
:02:16. > :02:19.brand-new Hospital for animals, costing over �10 million. It is a
:02:19. > :02:25.15 minute drive from the old centre and the races on to get it finished.
:02:25. > :02:28.So this is it. It might not look like much right now, but by
:02:28. > :02:31.September next year, hopefully this will be complete and we will have a
:02:31. > :02:37.state-of-the-art hospital and it will be bigger, brighter and safer
:02:37. > :02:41.for the animals. Her there is a bit of a problem, though. With less
:02:41. > :02:46.than a year to go, the RSPCA has not raised enough cash, but they
:02:46. > :02:53.are confident they will eventually get there.
:02:53. > :03:03.Why are you looking at your watch? We have got 297 days to go until
:03:03. > :03:09.
:03:09. > :03:13.the Olympics. But it also tells the time in hours and minutes. Time
:03:13. > :03:16.decides everything we do from when we get up in the morning to when we
:03:16. > :03:20.go to bed and everything in between. But did you know it's Britain that
:03:20. > :03:22.sets the time for the whole world? It has done for more than 100 years,
:03:22. > :03:25.but that could all be about to change.
:03:25. > :03:28.This is the home of time. This line at the Royal Observatory here in
:03:28. > :03:32.Greenwich and when the sun passes over the line, that's midday here.
:03:32. > :03:35.And the rest of the time all around the world is worked out from that.
:03:35. > :03:38.It's called Greenwich Mean Time, or GMT, and even astronauts up in
:03:38. > :03:42.space set their clocks by it. But time hasn't always been worked out
:03:42. > :03:45.this way. Every town around the world used to figure out its own
:03:45. > :03:48.local time using the sun. So, for example, when it was noon in
:03:48. > :03:52.Plymouth, it was 12.17 in London. But when the railways were built,
:03:52. > :03:55.that had to change. People needed a way of knowing exactly when the
:03:55. > :03:58.train was going to arrive and so Greenwich Mean Time became the time
:03:58. > :04:03.that was used across the whole country, and later to work out
:04:03. > :04:11.timezones around the world. But some people think this is now out
:04:11. > :04:16.of date. What is the main problem with just using Greenwich Mean
:04:16. > :04:22.Time? It is based on the rotation of the Earth and takes about 24
:04:22. > :04:26.hours, but that is slowing down over time. We have been introducing
:04:26. > :04:29.seconds to help account for this, but this might introduce a problem
:04:29. > :04:33.where you might make mistakes and it might interfere with a use of
:04:33. > :04:37.technology. Have some people think the solution is to switch to atomic
:04:37. > :04:41.clocks. They are far more accurate, it would take millions of years for
:04:42. > :04:45.one to go wrong by even a second. If the switch happens, it will not
:04:45. > :04:49.make any difference to our day-to- day lives, but it means for the
:04:49. > :04:51.first time ever, time won't be worked out from the spinning of the
:04:51. > :04:54.Earth. TIME for some pop news now. See
:04:54. > :04:57.what I did there? Jessie J, who's no stranger to shocking the pop
:04:57. > :05:01.world, says she now wants to do something else unexpected - raising
:05:01. > :05:04.�1 million for charity by shaving her head! She reckons it's about
:05:04. > :05:10.time to have a new hairstyle, and she was inspired after visiting
:05:10. > :05:16.kids in hospital. Shaving her head - classic charity
:05:16. > :05:19.move. As is crossing the Channel for cash. This is British sprint
:05:19. > :05:22.canoeist Paul Wycherley. The Olympic hopeful has kayaked all the
:05:22. > :05:27.way to France in a new record time - two hours and 28 minutes,
:05:27. > :05:31.smashing the previous record by more than half an hour! He also
:05:31. > :05:39.raised more than �100,000 for charity. It makes your arms ache
:05:39. > :05:42.just watching him. That would be exhausting.
:05:42. > :05:45.For years, explorers have been trying to track down a mysterious
:05:45. > :05:49.creature. It's huge and hairy and lives in the shadows. But enough
:05:49. > :05:52.about Ore! No, we're talking about the yeti, the abominable snowman
:05:52. > :05:56.himself. People have long argued about whether such a creature could
:05:56. > :06:06.exist in the remote Himalayas and Siberia. Now the largest expedition
:06:06. > :06:07.
:06:07. > :06:10.for over 50 years is about to set Plenty of places to hide. Despite
:06:10. > :06:19.hundreds of supposed sightings, the yeti still refuses to come out of
:06:19. > :06:23.its icy cave to say hello to actual But just perhaps, this is about to
:06:24. > :06:33.end. A team of Russian and American experts has joined forces to go in
:06:33. > :06:36.search of. The abominable snowman, but the problem is where to begin.
:06:36. > :06:43.They're searching in the Kemerovo region, which is in Siberia, 3,000
:06:43. > :06:47.miles east of Moscow. There have been loads of recent reports of
:06:47. > :06:51.sightings there. Locals say they steal hens and sheep to eat, and
:06:51. > :06:55.one expert even reckons there could be a family of 30 roaming around.
:06:55. > :06:59.But what do they look like? Well, this apparent footprint found in
:06:59. > :07:03.the snow is so big that some people reckon they're up to seven feet
:07:03. > :07:06.tall. In the 1960s, even Dr Who featured a yeti that was covered in
:07:06. > :07:12.hair and looked a bit like an overgrown bear, just slightly
:07:12. > :07:17.scarier. The yeti's just one of the weird and wonderful creatures
:07:17. > :07:20.that's shrouded in legend and secrecy. You may have heard of Big
:07:20. > :07:26.Foot, the giant ape-like man roaming the American wilds, or the
:07:26. > :07:30.Loch Ness Monster lurking in the depths. None have ever been proven
:07:30. > :07:40.to exist and while the Yeti hunters are confident, I think it's a fair
:07:40. > :07:47.
:07:47. > :07:50.bet the hairy fellow will remain a mystery for the time being.
:07:50. > :07:52.Forget diamonds, it's wax that every superstar dreams of. And now
