Hello there, news fans, welcome to your daily dose of Newsround here

on BBC One. We are live, it's just after 5pm. Sonali and Ricky with

Monday's top stories. This is what's on the way. The lost penguin

who has been sent back in the right direction. And what's up with

:00:32.:00:41.

But first, how The Saturdays are trying to stop people treating dogs

:00:41.:00:45.

like fashion accessories. They've teamed up with the animal charity,

:00:45.:00:48.

the Dogs Trust, who say more pets are being dumped after people

:00:48.:00:52.

realise how much work it takes to look after them. 126,000 unwanted

:00:52.:00:56.

dogs were picked up in the past year. That's almost 350 every

:00:56.:01:02.

single day. That's why the girls want fans to understand that

posh pooch. Celebrities are being blamed for the number of people

:01:23.:01:26.

buying Dogs for the wrong reasons. Animal charities are trying to make

:01:26.:01:33.

people aware that even smaller dogs need a lot of attention and care.

:01:33.:01:36.

But Dogs Trust say they have noticed a big increase in the

:01:36.:01:41.

number of small dogs being handed in to them. A little dog does not

:01:41.:01:48.

want to be stuffed into a handbag all day long. No -- a dog should be

walked and care -- cared for. cannot imagine Angelina been in a

handbag. She fidgets. But is the problem. Little dogs are as much of

an effort as bigger dogs. Saturdays a fronting a new campaign

:02:07.:02:11.

to make people aware that all dogs are a big commitment. They have

:02:11.:02:16.

their own dogs so they know what they are talking about. If you buy

:02:16.:02:21.

a dog, you have to realise they are like a new member of the family.

:02:21.:02:28.

They are a huge responsibility and they bring so much fun. What do

:02:28.:02:35.

they think? I can think of nothing worse. It is an effort to make my

a bag. You need to take them for a run in the park. Britain achieved

:02:47.:02:49.

its best performance at the World Athletics Championships for 18

:02:49.:02:53.

years over the past few days. One of the stars was this guy -

distance runner Mo Farah. After just missing out on gold in the

:02:56.:02:59.

10,000 metre final, Mo went on to become GB's first world champion

over 5,000 metres. It feels awesome to have that gold medal. I came so

:03:16.:03:19.

close before, I just can't quite believe it. Now it's a week since

:03:20.:03:22.

Hurricane Irene battered parts of America. It was downgraded to a

:03:22.:03:26.

tropical storm, but still caused a far bit of damage. And now the area

:03:26.:03:29.

has been hit by more bad weather. Tropical Storm Lee is hammering the

:03:29.:03:34.

country's gulf coast, causing flash floods. And if that's not bad

:03:34.:03:37.

enough, people on the east coast have been told there could be

:03:37.:03:40.

another hurricane - this one's called Katia - on the way. Tropical

:03:40.:03:43.

Storm Lee hit America's Gulf Coast over the weekend, hurling rain and

:03:43.:03:46.

winds of 45 miles an hour through the southern state of Louisiana.

:03:46.:03:48.

Floods ruined homes and left thousands without electricity. They

:03:48.:03:56.

have had so much rain that many It is not the first time people

:03:56.:03:59.

here have experienced a natural disaster. Six years ago, they were

hit by Hurricane Katrina, which caused massive destruction. After

Katrina, they spent billions of dollars on ways to protect the area

:04:06.:04:13.

from bad weather so are coping better than before. Over on the

:04:13.:04:16.

east coast of America, people are still clearing up after Tropical

:04:16.:04:21.

Storm Irene tore through. President Barack Obama has visited to offer

:04:21.:04:30.

his support. The main message I have is the entire country is

:04:31.:04:35.

behind you. We are going to make sure we provide all the resources

:04:35.:04:39.

necessary in order to help these communities it rebuild. But people

:04:39.:04:42.

here were today told to brace themselves for yet another big

:04:42.:04:46.

storm - Hurricane Katia - which is swirling over the Atlantic. It is

:04:46.:04:48.

hurricane season at the moment and there are usually about 12 major

:04:48.:04:52.

storms at this time. But this has been a difficult year. Katia is

:04:52.:04:59.

already the 11th storm and they're We're used to seeing Rafael Nadal

:04:59.:05:03.

leaping about on a tennis court or punching the air when he has won a

:05:03.:05:07.

match. We have never seen him doing this. The world number two was

talking to journalists after a win at the US Open when he got a bad

:05:11.:05:15.

case of cramp in his right leg. The pain was so bad he slid off his

:05:15.:05:18.

chair and onto the floor. After 15 minutes of treatment, the defending

:05:18.:05:21.

champion came back and finished the news conference. And do you

:05:21.:05:24.

remember Happy Feet? He's the Emperor penguin who shot to fame

:05:24.:05:27.

after getting lost and turning up on a beach in New Zealand. Well,

:05:27.:05:30.

after recovering from his adventure, Happy Feet is now back in the

:05:30.:05:33.

freezing water where he belongs. But, this time, with a tracking

:05:33.:05:40.

gadget attached to him. Most of us dream of a beach holiday to soak up

:05:40.:05:44.

a bit of sun but, for Happy Feet, washing up on a beach in New

:05:44.:05:47.

Zealand meant something had gone very wrong. Emperor penguins are

usually found thousands of miles away in the Antarctic but it is

thought Happy Feet took a wrong turn while hunting for food at sea

:05:54.:06:01.

Without the snow he is used to, he started eating the sand which made

:06:01.:06:05.

him really sick. Vets at Wellington Zoo stepped in to help by operating

:06:05.:06:11.

to remove all the gunk from his Since then, he's been nursed back

:06:11.:06:17.

to health on a bed of ice and a diet of fish milkshakes. Happy Feet

:06:17.:06:21.

soon made a speedy recovery. And before long, it was time to say

:06:21.:06:25.

goodbye and start his epic journey home. But not before being fitted

:06:25.:06:29.

with a tracker device so zoo staff can keep up with his progress. It

:06:29.:06:33.

is too far to swim the whole way, so Happy Feet got a lift on a boat

:06:33.:06:35.

for four days before making a splash - albeit a little

:06:36.:06:45.
:06:46.:06:48.

Now Happy Feet should be swimming south to get home but, according to

:06:48.:06:51.

his tracker, he started going the wrong way. No need to panic yet

though as apparently penguins sometimes zigzag as they feed. To

find out the latest on Happy Feet's travels, you know what to do. Head

:07:02.:07:05.

has just started a long swim - comedian David Walliams. After

pretending to back out because it was too cold, he braved the murky

depths of the River Thames today to start his latest charity challenge

- swimming 140 miles to raise cash for Sport Relief. He set off from

Lechdale in Gloucestershire and is expected to finish at the Houses of
