:00:00. > :00:00.This is Newsround on Saturday morning.

:00:00. > :00:00.I'm Ricky live on CBBC. Coming up:

:00:07. > :00:09.Dippy the 20-year-old penguin is on the move.

:00:10. > :00:13.And, ever wanted to eat your own head?

:00:14. > :00:26.We check out the lollies that can look like you!

:00:27. > :00:29.First this morning to India, where power is returning to most parts

:00:30. > :00:32.of the southern city of Chennai, following devastating flooding.

:00:33. > :00:35.A massive operation is underway to try to get food and medicines to

:00:36. > :00:45.The rains were the heaviest for 100 years.

:00:46. > :00:48.The UK is home to more than 200 different bird species,

:00:49. > :00:51.but it's getting harder for many of them to survive here.

:00:52. > :00:54.Jenny's been finding out which of these birds are

:00:55. > :01:00.Unfortunately for some of our favourite birds, this latest report

:01:01. > :01:03.by bird charities and conservation groups is not great news.

:01:04. > :01:07.The puffin, who nests in coastal and island areas all over the UK,

:01:08. > :01:11.isat risk because of climate change.

:01:12. > :01:14.As the sea warms up, the fish they feed on are travelling

:01:15. > :01:20.further north to colder water, putting them out of the puffin's

:01:21. > :01:23.reach, which means they don't have enough food to feed their chicks.

:01:24. > :01:26.Other birds which are not doing well are curlews.

:01:27. > :01:28.This is because the habitats where they nest,

:01:29. > :01:32.and the wetlands where they feed, are not being looked after properly.

:01:33. > :01:35.Some of the birds we see in our back gardens are also at risk.

:01:36. > :01:38.Many people are not growing the sorts of flowers

:01:39. > :01:43.This then means that there are not enough bugs

:01:44. > :01:52.Some birds are doing really well, thanks to efforts by charities

:01:53. > :01:58.You might see the red kites soaring over fields

:01:59. > :02:03.thanks to special efforts over the years to reintroduce them

:02:04. > :02:08.So, fingers crossed there is still hope for the rest

:02:09. > :02:17.A grey seal has given birth to twins.

:02:18. > :02:20.They were born on a beach in Norfolk in the east of England.

:02:21. > :02:28.This mother seal is very protective of her pups, and so she should be.

:02:29. > :02:30.These babies are extremely precious to her,

:02:31. > :02:36.They are thought to be the first grey seal twins known to

:02:37. > :02:44.It is something of a miracle from what I am told by everybody.

:02:45. > :02:47.We are absolutely positive the mother behind me definitely

:02:48. > :02:53.The mum will spend three weeks feeding her pups,

:02:54. > :03:00.The twins will stay on the beach in Horsey for another three weeks,

:03:01. > :03:02.looking after themselves, waiting to shed their white fur.

:03:03. > :03:05.But, before they disappear into the sea, it is hoped they will

:03:06. > :03:08.be DNA tested to confirm officially that they are twins.

:03:09. > :03:12.We have to wait for the pups to be weaned from their mother,

:03:13. > :03:15.and when that has happened, we can then consider taking DNA

:03:16. > :03:23.The pair of pups will rely on their mother to look after them.

:03:24. > :03:27.If not, they will be fed by animal charity the RSPCA

:03:28. > :03:34.until they are strong enough to head back into the waters.

:03:35. > :03:37.Have you ever wondered how much money it would cost to send

:03:38. > :03:41.Well five-year-old Oliver from Lancashire, who dreams of becoming

:03:42. > :03:49.So he wrote to Royal Mail and this is what they said.

:03:50. > :03:54.So, exactly how much would it cost to send a letter to Mars?

:03:55. > :03:56.NASA says it would have to travel 567 million kilometres

:03:57. > :04:03.from Earth to Mars, and then back again.

:04:04. > :04:07.And, according to the Royal Mail, that costs ?11,602.

:04:08. > :04:10.The equivalent of 18,416 first-class stamps,

:04:11. > :04:27.Now, this one is for all you chocolate lovers out there.

:04:28. > :04:30.This London company scans your face and then prints it in 3D.

:04:31. > :04:32.They make a mould, pour the chocolate in and leave it

:04:33. > :04:37.You can lick your own face if you fancy, or better still you

:04:38. > :04:43.A penguin with special needs has moved to a new home in Norfolk

:04:44. > :04:46.Dippy lives with a condition called arthritis that

:04:47. > :04:51.He's moved with ten other Humbolt penguins to the east of England,

:04:52. > :04:53.where his new home has a specially adapted pool already

:04:54. > :05:00.We heard Dippy had some problems with the arthritis in his hips,

:05:01. > :05:03.and we used to have an arthritic penguin who live here

:05:04. > :05:05.many years ago, so we have some experience with that.

:05:06. > :05:08.Luckily we have got this ramp already built into our pool

:05:09. > :05:11.which helps birds like Dippy to walk into the pool, rather than having to

:05:12. > :05:16.jump out onto the rocks like all other penguins do.

:05:17. > :05:18.It's December 5th today, and day five of our Advent calendar.

:05:19. > :05:23.This week it's all about your Christmas traditions.

:05:24. > :05:27.Hello, I'm Katie from the CBBC office

:05:28. > :05:31.and I am the biggest Christmas fan in the world.

:05:32. > :05:33.I have got loads of Christmas traditions, like going ice skating,

:05:34. > :05:36.getting new pyjamas to wear on Christmas Eve,

:05:37. > :05:39.waking everyone up very early in the morning on Christmas Day to open

:05:40. > :05:41.presents, and of course wearing loads of ridiculous headbands

:05:42. > :05:58.Newsround is back here on CBBC at 1:45pm.
