Hi, I'm Leah and this is Newsround live on Wednesday morning. | :00:00. | :00:07. | |
Today - The 15-year-old world champion drone-racer ? and - | :00:08. | :00:11. | |
the orphaned cheetah cub who's found a new family. | :00:12. | :00:24. | |
But first, from today, pet owners in England, | :00:25. | :00:27. | |
Wales and Scotland will have to get their pet dogs microchipped | :00:28. | :00:32. | |
The government believe more than a million dogs over eight weeks | :00:33. | :00:37. | |
old will have to get it done - it'll mean a small needle a bit | :00:38. | :00:41. | |
like getting a vaccine, but they'll have a personal identification. | :00:42. | :00:43. | |
Charities say it gives owners a better chance of finding | :00:44. | :00:46. | |
Joining us now is vet Fiona Buchan and Willow - a Labrador cross. | :00:47. | :00:55. | |
Microchipping is a personal and permanent identification that we do | :00:56. | :01:11. | |
for dogs. It is a tiny microchip about the size of a grain of rice | :01:12. | :01:14. | |
and it sits under the skin on the back of the net. It is very easy to | :01:15. | :01:19. | |
implant and it contains an individual number so if they ever go | :01:20. | :01:23. | |
missing, you can turn up at any vets or kennels and they can be found. We | :01:24. | :01:29. | |
can reunite them with their own very quickly. Willow has one. Does it | :01:30. | :01:41. | |
hurt, what is the procedure like? Because it is so small, we just need | :01:42. | :01:48. | |
a tiny needle. It is very quick. It never really causes any problems | :01:49. | :01:53. | |
after that. It is compulsory from today? Already happening in Northern | :01:54. | :01:57. | |
Ireland. Do you think that is a good idea to force pet owners to do that | :01:58. | :02:02. | |
much to mark what is the price, is it expensive? It is very reasonable. | :02:03. | :02:08. | |
A lot of the charities are running special offers at the moment for | :02:09. | :02:12. | |
microchipping. We are trying to encourage people to do so. Because | :02:13. | :02:18. | |
we can see the other side, we know when a dog comes in and we cannot | :02:19. | :02:22. | |
find their own and we have to send them off to the dog warden and it is | :02:23. | :02:26. | |
very heartbreaking for us. It is important to get your dog | :02:27. | :02:31. | |
microchipped. Thank you. We have to move on now. | :02:32. | :02:35. | |
Next, to a spectacular sport that's becoming more and more popular. | :02:36. | :02:38. | |
Drone racing is super-fast, super competitive and even | :02:39. | :02:39. | |
Jenny went to meet this year's winner. | :02:40. | :02:46. | |
One course, 12 laps, 32 competitors battling it out | :02:47. | :02:48. | |
speeds of 70 mph to become champions of the World Drone Prix. | :02:49. | :02:51. | |
And the person leading this year's winning team? | :02:52. | :02:54. | |
So how did this 15-year-old become the best drone pilot in the world? | :02:55. | :03:01. | |
That's something I'm going to find out. | :03:02. | :03:04. | |
I have been flying remote control aircraft since I can remember really | :03:05. | :03:08. | |
and lots of little foam toys and things. | :03:09. | :03:12. | |
I flew planes and got gradually bigger and bigger planes. | :03:13. | :03:15. | |
One birthday when I was 14, I got given my first set of goggles | :03:16. | :03:18. | |
and then about a year and a few months ago, | :03:19. | :03:20. | |
I started flying the mini-drones. How do you train? | :03:21. | :03:23. | |
Sometimes I get outside and fly and practice, if I have got | :03:24. | :03:26. | |
a specific event I'm going to do but usually I just fly around | :03:27. | :03:29. | |
and have fun. This is my trophy. | :03:30. | :03:31. | |
My goodness, what did you do to win that? | :03:32. | :03:33. | |
Our team went for a two pitstop method and we did five laps, | :03:34. | :03:36. | |
five laps and then two laps at the end to get the most out of it | :03:37. | :03:40. | |
How did you feel when you found out that you were the winning team? | :03:41. | :03:46. | |
I was really excited, it was amazing. | :03:47. | :03:47. | |
Tell me what the best thing is about flying. | :03:48. | :03:50. | |
So what you see is a video feed from the camera or within the drone | :03:51. | :03:56. | |
and that gives you freedom to fly round as if you are in it. | :03:57. | :03:59. | |
You reactivate with the transmitter and you can do flips, | :04:00. | :04:02. | |
rolls, fly around, explore, fly around trees. | :04:03. | :04:03. | |
The possibilities are endless. Can anybody do this? | :04:04. | :04:05. | |
Absolutely anyone can do this hobby but it is really important that | :04:06. | :04:08. | |
you get along to your local flying club and search online | :04:09. | :04:11. | |
Find your local flying club and everyone there, | :04:12. | :04:15. | |
I can guarantee you, will be happy to help | :04:16. | :04:17. | |
So, come on then, show me what you can do. | :04:18. | :04:22. | |
I think we are going to do some freestyle but you need | :04:23. | :04:25. | |
these goggles first. Nice. | :04:26. | :04:26. | |
You ready? Yeah. | :04:27. | :04:31. | |
An orphaned cheetah cub has found a family. | :04:32. | :04:44. | |
This little cat's mum was unable to look after him when he was born, | :04:45. | :04:47. | |
so he's been cuddling up to this soft toy and being | :04:48. | :04:50. | |
But now he'll join a new family of Cheetah cubs who've been | :04:51. | :04:57. | |
Newsround's back right here in about half an hour. | :04:58. | :05:01. |
