Hello, everyone. | 0:00:03 | 0:00:04 | |
It's Friday and I'm Leah - and you're live with Newsround. | 0:00:04 | 0:00:07 | |
Coming up: The robot that's the best golfer in the world. | 0:00:07 | 0:00:12 | |
And the amazing snow and ice sculptures wowing crowds in Japan. | 0:00:12 | 0:00:16 | |
First this morning. | 0:00:25 | 0:00:27 | |
It's just six months to go until the start of the Olympic Games | 0:00:27 | 0:00:30 | |
in Rio in South America. | 0:00:30 | 0:00:31 | |
The athletes are in training and the venues are almost ready. | 0:00:31 | 0:00:34 | |
But there are some problems still to deal with. | 0:00:35 | 0:00:38 | |
The BBC's Wyre Davies is in Rio for Newsround. | 0:00:38 | 0:00:42 | |
From a sporting perspective, everything looks pretty good. | 0:00:42 | 0:00:44 | |
The four distinct Olympic venues around | 0:00:44 | 0:00:47 | |
the city are coming on fine, and most of the stadiums are nearly | 0:00:47 | 0:00:50 | |
finished, and also the test events they have been holding | 0:00:50 | 0:00:52 | |
here in the city are going pretty well. | 0:00:52 | 0:00:55 | |
There is some cause for concern, particularly | 0:00:55 | 0:00:58 | |
water quality here in the bay around the city, and also transport links | 0:00:58 | 0:01:01 | |
between Rio and the main Olympic park. | 0:01:01 | 0:01:05 | |
There's a new tube line which will only be finished a matter | 0:01:05 | 0:01:08 | |
of weeks before the Olympic Games. | 0:01:08 | 0:01:10 | |
But the biggest cause for concern here in Rio now is the appearance | 0:01:10 | 0:01:14 | |
of the Zika virus. | 0:01:14 | 0:01:16 | |
This is a virus which is transferred by a tiny mosquito | 0:01:16 | 0:01:18 | |
and there are millions of these mosquitoes across Brazil. | 0:01:18 | 0:01:22 | |
It is believed that as many as a million | 0:01:22 | 0:01:24 | |
people in Brazil may have caught the virus itself. | 0:01:24 | 0:01:27 | |
It's not physically harmful, but of course | 0:01:27 | 0:01:29 | |
Olympic officials are hoping by the time the Olympic Games come | 0:01:29 | 0:01:31 | |
around, it'll actually be the winter here in the southern hemisphere, | 0:01:31 | 0:01:36 | |
and most of those mosquitoes will not be in the season, | 0:01:36 | 0:01:39 | |
and everything will hopefully be all right for visitors | 0:01:39 | 0:01:41 | |
here to Rio and the Olympic Games. | 0:01:41 | 0:01:45 | |
There's a devastating virus that's destroying millions of colonies | 0:01:45 | 0:01:47 | |
of bees all over the world. | 0:01:47 | 0:01:50 | |
It can stop their wings growing properly, which stops them flying. | 0:01:50 | 0:01:53 | |
British scientists says it's not caused by a problem in nature, | 0:01:53 | 0:01:56 | |
but by the trade in moving honeybee populations around the world | 0:01:56 | 0:01:59 | |
to areas where there aren't enough to pollinate the food we eat. | 0:01:59 | 0:02:05 | |
Next - how do you protect trees that are in danger of disappearing? | 0:02:05 | 0:02:10 | |
You collect sees from other countries and create the biggest | 0:02:10 | 0:02:12 | |
seed bank in the world. | 0:02:12 | 0:02:14 | |
The monkey puzzle tree is one of those under threat. | 0:02:14 | 0:02:17 | |
Hayley's got more. | 0:02:17 | 0:02:19 | |
These are the unmistakable trickles of the monkey puzzle tree. | 0:02:19 | 0:02:22 | |
They are found in many gardens, but in the | 0:02:22 | 0:02:24 | |
wild they are in danger of dying out. | 0:02:24 | 0:02:27 | |
So conservationists are working fast to make sure they survive. | 0:02:27 | 0:02:31 | |
Back in 2009 a team went to Chile in South | 0:02:31 | 0:02:34 | |
America to collect seeds from the last remaining cluster | 0:02:34 | 0:02:37 | |
of monkey puzzle trees. | 0:02:37 | 0:02:47 | |
Some went in a massive fridge, others were planted. | 0:02:47 | 0:02:49 | |
Six years on, they look like this. | 0:02:49 | 0:02:51 | |
As soon as you sow them, you will see a root within a couple | 0:02:51 | 0:02:54 | |
of weeks, and within six months or so you'll get a lovely shoot | 0:02:54 | 0:02:57 | |
coming up from the top, but it takes them six years to get | 0:02:57 | 0:03:00 | |
to the stage in their life. | 0:03:00 | 0:03:02 | |
But these have done amazingly well. | 0:03:02 | 0:03:03 | |
It could be a prehistoric landscape, the trees date back 200 million | 0:03:03 | 0:03:06 | |
years to the dinosaur times. | 0:03:06 | 0:03:10 | |
These conifers can grow to over 130 feet | 0:03:10 | 0:03:14 | |
in height. | 0:03:14 | 0:03:18 | |
Along with the monkey puzzle tree seeds, thousands of others were also | 0:03:18 | 0:03:21 | |
collected in Chile. | 0:03:21 | 0:03:24 | |
They were brought back to the vaults of the millennium seed bank, | 0:03:24 | 0:03:27 | |
and were sorted, put into jars and put into | 0:03:27 | 0:03:29 | |
huge fridges for safekeeping. | 0:03:29 | 0:03:33 | |
There are seeds from 36,000 other species | 0:03:33 | 0:03:35 | |
of plants from all over the world. | 0:03:35 | 0:03:38 | |
In the next few years it is hoped a forest landscape like that | 0:03:38 | 0:03:41 | |
in Chile can be created here in Sussex. | 0:03:41 | 0:03:46 | |
These trees in Chile are under threat for | 0:03:46 | 0:03:48 | |
all sorts of different reasons. | 0:03:48 | 0:03:50 | |
Fire, clearance, so collecting the seed and propagating it | 0:03:50 | 0:03:54 | |
and having the scientific collection of monkey | 0:03:54 | 0:03:58 | |
puzzles will help to protect the future of these trees for many | 0:03:58 | 0:04:02 | |
generations to come. | 0:04:02 | 0:04:05 | |
Luckily, they are tough, strong trees which can | 0:04:05 | 0:04:08 | |
tolerate snow, rain and wind, which are all very common in the UK. | 0:04:08 | 0:04:13 | |
Now, two Russian cosmonauts have done a space-walk | 0:04:15 | 0:04:17 | |
from the International Space Station. | 0:04:17 | 0:04:19 | |
The pair are living with British Astronaut Tim Peake | 0:04:19 | 0:04:22 | |
for six months. | 0:04:22 | 0:04:24 | |
They went outside to set up some experiments and bring some tests | 0:04:24 | 0:04:27 | |
back inside to look at the results. | 0:04:27 | 0:04:30 | |
In tennis, 16-year-old Katie Swan and Heather Watson have both | 0:04:30 | 0:04:35 | |
won their games in the Fed Cup tennis opener against South Africa. | 0:04:35 | 0:04:39 | |
Jocelyn Rae and Anna Smith won in the doubles. | 0:04:39 | 0:04:49 | |
And go online to see the story about the 16-year-old girl | 0:04:50 | 0:04:53 | |
in Germany who found a gold bar while she was swimming. | 0:04:53 | 0:04:55 | |
Well, now she's been told she can keep it. | 0:04:55 | 0:04:58 | |
What a lovely surprise! | 0:04:58 | 0:04:59 | |
It's worth more than ?15,000 and was found in a lake in Bavaria, | 0:04:59 | 0:05:02 | |
near the Austrian border. | 0:05:02 | 0:05:03 | |
And finally in golf, how easy is it to hit a hole in one? | 0:05:03 | 0:05:06 | |
Well, if you're a robot, it's pretty easy. | 0:05:06 | 0:05:08 | |
This is Eldrick the robot, who managed to make the golfing | 0:05:08 | 0:05:11 | |
wonder in his first try in the US. | 0:05:11 | 0:05:13 | |
Take a look at that! | 0:05:13 | 0:05:14 | |
A hole in one. | 0:05:14 | 0:05:20 | |
You'll love this snow festival that's opened | 0:05:20 | 0:05:22 | |
in Northern Japan, guys. | 0:05:22 | 0:05:23 | |
An annual snow festival opened in Japan's northernmost region | 0:05:23 | 0:05:25 | |
of Hokkaido on Friday, with part of the celebrations | 0:05:25 | 0:05:27 | |
dedicated to the upcoming opening of a high speed train | 0:05:27 | 0:05:30 | |
from the south. | 0:05:30 | 0:05:37 | |
This very rare Ferrari car is expected to fetch up to over | 0:05:37 | 0:05:39 | |
?30 million at an auction in Paris. | 0:05:39 | 0:05:41 | |
It's been described as a "fabulous star" which had been driven by some | 0:05:41 | 0:05:44 | |
of the best drivers in racing history since it was made in 1957. | 0:05:44 | 0:05:49 | |
That's all from me. | 0:05:49 | 0:05:50 | |
Jenny's back at 4.20 with more Newsround. | 0:05:50 | 0:05:55 | |
