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.
