This is Newsround on Saturday morning.

:00:00.:00:00.

I'm Ricky live on CBBC. Coming up:

:00:00.:00:00.

Dippy the 20-year-old penguin is on the move.

:00:07.:00:09.

And, ever wanted to eat your own head?

:00:10.:00:13.

We check out the lollies that can look like you!

:00:14.:00:26.

First this morning to India, where power is returning to most parts

:00:27.:00:29.

of the southern city of Chennai, following devastating flooding.

:00:30.:00:32.

A massive operation is underway to try to get food and medicines to

:00:33.:00:35.

The rains were the heaviest for 100 years.

:00:36.:00:45.

The UK is home to more than 200 different bird species,

:00:46.:00:48.

but it's getting harder for many of them to survive here.

:00:49.:00:51.

Jenny's been finding out which of these birds are

:00:52.:00:54.

Unfortunately for some of our favourite birds, this latest report

:00:55.:01:00.

by bird charities and conservation groups is not great news.

:01:01.:01:03.

The puffin, who nests in coastal and island areas all over the UK,

:01:04.:01:07.

isat risk because of climate change.

:01:08.:01:11.

As the sea warms up, the fish they feed on are travelling

:01:12.:01:14.

further north to colder water, putting them out of the puffin's

:01:15.:01:20.

reach, which means they don't have enough food to feed their chicks.

:01:21.:01:23.

Other birds which are not doing well are curlews.

:01:24.:01:26.

This is because the habitats where they nest,

:01:27.:01:28.

and the wetlands where they feed, are not being looked after properly.

:01:29.:01:32.

Some of the birds we see in our back gardens are also at risk.

:01:33.:01:35.

Many people are not growing the sorts of flowers

:01:36.:01:38.

This then means that there are not enough bugs

:01:39.:01:43.

Some birds are doing really well, thanks to efforts by charities

:01:44.:01:52.

You might see the red kites soaring over fields

:01:53.:01:58.

thanks to special efforts over the years to reintroduce them

:01:59.:02:03.

So, fingers crossed there is still hope for the rest

:02:04.:02:08.

A grey seal has given birth to twins.

:02:09.:02:17.

They were born on a beach in Norfolk in the east of England.

:02:18.:02:20.

This mother seal is very protective of her pups, and so she should be.

:02:21.:02:28.

These babies are extremely precious to her,

:02:29.:02:30.

They are thought to be the first grey seal twins known to

:02:31.:02:36.

It is something of a miracle from what I am told by everybody.

:02:37.:02:44.

We are absolutely positive the mother behind me definitely

:02:45.:02:47.

The mum will spend three weeks feeding her pups,

:02:48.:02:53.

The twins will stay on the beach in Horsey for another three weeks,

:02:54.:03:00.

looking after themselves, waiting to shed their white fur.

:03:01.:03:02.

But, before they disappear into the sea, it is hoped they will

:03:03.:03:05.

be DNA tested to confirm officially that they are twins.

:03:06.:03:08.

We have to wait for the pups to be weaned from their mother,

:03:09.:03:12.

and when that has happened, we can then consider taking DNA

:03:13.:03:15.

The pair of pups will rely on their mother to look after them.

:03:16.:03:23.

If not, they will be fed by animal charity the RSPCA

:03:24.:03:27.

until they are strong enough to head back into the waters.

:03:28.:03:34.

Have you ever wondered how much money it would cost to send

:03:35.:03:37.

Well five-year-old Oliver from Lancashire, who dreams of becoming

:03:38.:03:41.

So he wrote to Royal Mail and this is what they said.

:03:42.:03:49.

So, exactly how much would it cost to send a letter to Mars?

:03:50.:03:54.

NASA says it would have to travel 567 million kilometres

:03:55.:03:56.

from Earth to Mars, and then back again.

:03:57.:04:03.

And, according to the Royal Mail, that costs ?11,602.

:04:04.:04:07.

The equivalent of 18,416 first-class stamps,

:04:08.:04:10.

Now, this one is for all you chocolate lovers out there.

:04:11.:04:27.

This London company scans your face and then prints it in 3D.

:04:28.:04:30.

They make a mould, pour the chocolate in and leave it

:04:31.:04:32.

You can lick your own face if you fancy, or better still you

:04:33.:04:37.

A penguin with special needs has moved to a new home in Norfolk

:04:38.:04:43.

Dippy lives with a condition called arthritis that

:04:44.:04:46.

He's moved with ten other Humbolt penguins to the east of England,

:04:47.:04:51.

where his new home has a specially adapted pool already

:04:52.:04:53.

We heard Dippy had some problems with the arthritis in his hips,

:04:54.:05:00.

and we used to have an arthritic penguin who live here

:05:01.:05:03.

many years ago, so we have some experience with that.

:05:04.:05:05.

Luckily we have got this ramp already built into our pool

:05:06.:05:08.

which helps birds like Dippy to walk into the pool, rather than having to

:05:09.:05:11.

jump out onto the rocks like all other penguins do.

:05:12.:05:16.

It's December 5th today, and day five of our Advent calendar.

:05:17.:05:18.

This week it's all about your Christmas traditions.

:05:19.:05:23.

Hello, I'm Katie from the CBBC office

:05:24.:05:27.

and I am the biggest Christmas fan in the world.

:05:28.:05:31.

I have got loads of Christmas traditions, like going ice skating,

:05:32.:05:33.

getting new pyjamas to wear on Christmas Eve,

:05:34.:05:36.

waking everyone up very early in the morning on Christmas Day to open

:05:37.:05:39.

presents, and of course wearing loads of ridiculous headbands

:05:40.:05:41.

Newsround is back here on CBBC at 1:45pm.

:05:42.:05:58.
