Morning, everyone. | 0:00:03 | 0:00:04 | |
Leah here with your Tuesday Newsround. | 0:00:04 | 0:00:07 | |
Coming up: Keep watching to find out why this dog | 0:00:07 | 0:00:09 | |
is jumping out of a plane. | 0:00:09 | 0:00:11 | |
And we bring you the human towers. | 0:00:11 | 0:00:16 | |
But first, countries from around the world have been meeting | 0:00:22 | 0:00:26 | |
in South Africa to decide how to protect endangered | 0:00:26 | 0:00:29 | |
animals like elephants. | 0:00:29 | 0:00:29 | |
Jenny's there and she's visited a school near to lots of nature | 0:00:30 | 0:00:33 | |
reserves where elephants live to find out what it's like | 0:00:33 | 0:00:36 | |
growing up so close to these amazing creatures. | 0:00:36 | 0:00:40 | |
In Afrikaans, olifant means elephant. | 0:00:40 | 0:00:43 | |
Elephant in one word - amazing. | 0:00:43 | 0:00:45 | |
Brilliant. | 0:00:45 | 0:00:46 | |
Beautiful. | 0:00:46 | 0:00:48 | |
Unique. | 0:00:48 | 0:00:54 | |
These children live in Hoedspruit in South Africa. | 0:00:54 | 0:00:57 | |
Some classes are taken outside, a lot of their lessons | 0:00:57 | 0:01:00 | |
involve learning about animals and even their awards | 0:01:00 | 0:01:05 | |
have a bit of a theme. | 0:01:05 | 0:01:09 | |
Their school is only 20 minutes away from nature reserves | 0:01:09 | 0:01:12 | |
and loads of incredible animals, including elephants, who are a big | 0:01:12 | 0:01:14 | |
part of their lives. | 0:01:14 | 0:01:18 | |
It is not just the children here who are interested | 0:01:18 | 0:01:20 | |
in elephants. | 0:01:20 | 0:01:22 | |
They are popular around the world, including at this | 0:01:22 | 0:01:24 | |
school in the UK who have even named their class after them. | 0:01:24 | 0:01:28 | |
ALL: We love elephants! | 0:01:28 | 0:01:31 | |
And they've got some big questions for the children | 0:01:31 | 0:01:36 | |
living in South Africa. | 0:01:36 | 0:01:37 | |
What's it like living near elephants? | 0:01:37 | 0:01:38 | |
It's nice because you get to see them a lot and you get to | 0:01:38 | 0:01:41 | |
learn about them. | 0:01:41 | 0:01:42 | |
It is just very nice being around them and you can often hear them | 0:01:42 | 0:01:46 | |
communicate with each other. | 0:01:46 | 0:01:48 | |
It is actually quite cool unless they start to wreck | 0:01:48 | 0:01:51 | |
through your gates and stuff. | 0:01:51 | 0:01:54 | |
What are the bad things about living around elephants? | 0:01:54 | 0:01:57 | |
They often rip up the water pipes and we have solar panels and they | 0:01:57 | 0:02:01 | |
often like to stand on the solar panels. | 0:02:01 | 0:02:03 | |
We had a school tour for my class and we were actually charged | 0:02:03 | 0:02:07 | |
by an elephant. | 0:02:07 | 0:02:10 | |
Luckily, the bus was able to get away fast enough. | 0:02:10 | 0:02:12 | |
I don't find that they are really bad because it is not their fault | 0:02:12 | 0:02:16 | |
that they need food, they need water, and want to defend themselves | 0:02:16 | 0:02:19 | |
because they feel like you are threatening them. | 0:02:19 | 0:02:21 | |
How do elephants show their feelings? | 0:02:21 | 0:02:22 | |
It's noises and grumbling but also by their language. | 0:02:22 | 0:02:25 | |
When an elephant is angry or scared its tail will go up like this. | 0:02:25 | 0:02:29 | |
I'm sad and annoyed about elephants and how they are poached. | 0:02:29 | 0:02:34 | |
How does that make you feel? | 0:02:34 | 0:02:38 | |
Mainly disappointed that people would kill the animals for money. | 0:02:38 | 0:02:45 | |
I just hate the fact that they are getting poached. | 0:02:45 | 0:02:48 | |
It annoys me so much. | 0:02:48 | 0:02:50 | |
The poachers, all they really want are their tusks because they use | 0:02:50 | 0:02:54 | |
them to make ivory and stuff, | 0:02:54 | 0:02:56 | |
so you're killing an endangered animal | 0:02:56 | 0:02:59 | |
which is part of the big five for no reason. | 0:02:59 | 0:03:02 | |
It makes me feel sad but angry at the same time. | 0:03:02 | 0:03:06 | |
How would you feel if elephants died out? | 0:03:06 | 0:03:09 | |
It would make me feel sad because in the future other people | 0:03:09 | 0:03:12 | |
wouldn't get to see them. | 0:03:12 | 0:03:15 | |
I think if any animal becomes extinct the world becomes | 0:03:15 | 0:03:18 | |
a worse place. | 0:03:18 | 0:03:21 | |
I think all animals have a role in nature. | 0:03:21 | 0:03:24 | |
I love elephants in general. | 0:03:24 | 0:03:25 | |
I love how important they are to the environment. | 0:03:25 | 0:03:29 | |
I love watching them. | 0:03:29 | 0:03:32 | |
They mean a lot to me because they are just so amazing. | 0:03:32 | 0:03:35 | |
They are really, really brilliant creatures. | 0:03:35 | 0:03:39 | |
I like them because they are very wise and to me they seem like, | 0:03:39 | 0:03:46 | |
I don't know, they seem to know everything. | 0:03:46 | 0:03:48 | |
Thanks, Newsround. | 0:03:48 | 0:03:52 | |
Now, we promised you this one - the parachuting dogs in Africa | 0:03:52 | 0:03:55 | |
helping to tackle poaching in Africa. | 0:03:55 | 0:03:57 | |
This is Arrow. | 0:03:57 | 0:03:58 | |
He's Africa's first sky-diving anti-poaching dog. | 0:03:58 | 0:04:02 | |
He's been trained by authorities in South Africa to fly | 0:04:02 | 0:04:06 | |
in helicopters and planes. | 0:04:06 | 0:04:09 | |
It gives this anti-poaching team a better chance of catching poachers | 0:04:09 | 0:04:12 | |
before they escape by getting to the scene quicker. | 0:04:12 | 0:04:14 | |
Weather forecasters say the most powerful hurricane in the Caribbean | 0:04:14 | 0:04:18 | |
for almost ten years will reach Haiti in the next few hours. | 0:04:18 | 0:04:21 | |
It's predicted that Hurricane Matthew will cause winds | 0:04:21 | 0:04:23 | |
of up to 140mph and up to 40 inches of rain. | 0:04:23 | 0:04:28 | |
Officials have told people to stock up on food and water | 0:04:28 | 0:04:31 | |
and secure their homes. | 0:04:31 | 0:04:35 | |
And if you've ever wondered what a human tower looks like, | 0:04:35 | 0:04:38 | |
take a look at this. | 0:04:38 | 0:04:39 | |
This is the world human tower competition and these | 0:04:39 | 0:04:42 | |
lot from Vilafranca, in Spain, have won it | 0:04:42 | 0:04:44 | |
for the eighth time in a row. | 0:04:44 | 0:04:46 | |
Human towers go right back to the 18th century | 0:04:46 | 0:04:48 | |
and teams compete to have the tallest | 0:04:48 | 0:04:50 | |
or most complicated structures. | 0:04:50 | 0:04:53 | |
That's all from me. | 0:04:53 | 0:04:54 | |
Newsround is back right here in about half an hour. | 0:04:54 | 0:04:59 |
