See you!

Good morning, Jenny here, live with all the news you need

0:00:050:00:07

to know, online and on TV.

0:00:070:00:09

Coming up.

0:00:090:00:10

Find out who's looking after these penguins.

0:00:100:00:13

And the dogs paddling their way to a surfing crown.

0:00:130:00:17

They say dogs are man's best friend but on Middle Island in Australia,

0:00:270:00:30

dogs and penguins are even closer than that.

0:00:300:00:33

Some specially trained Maremma dogs have the job of protecting local

0:00:330:00:36

penguins from foxes.

0:00:360:00:39

Martin has more.

0:00:390:00:42

These guys have a important job to do.

0:00:420:00:45

They protect the penguins.

0:00:450:00:47

They are called Little Penguins, and are the smallest in the world.

0:00:470:00:51

Foxes have been attacking the colony living on the Middle Island

0:00:510:00:54

in Australia for years.

0:00:540:00:56

The problem became so bad in 2006, there

0:00:560:00:59

were only ten penguins left.

0:00:590:01:01

Then a local chicken farmer up with an idea

0:01:010:01:04

to use his Maremma dogs, that protect his chickens,

0:01:040:01:07

to protect the penguins.

0:01:070:01:09

The famous story is that penguins are just chooks in dinner

0:01:090:01:12

suits, so if we can train them to look after the chooks,

0:01:120:01:15

low to the ground, feathered variety, they should transfer over

0:01:150:01:18

to the penguins.

0:01:180:01:20

These sister dogs started work and over the last ten years,

0:01:200:01:24

they've done a fantastic job.

0:01:240:01:26

Penguin numbers on the island are now more than 180.

0:01:260:01:30

But lately, they've been getting too old for

0:01:300:01:32

fox chasing, so now there is a new recruit.

0:01:320:01:36

It will take a lot of training to get him up to speed but it should

0:01:360:01:39

prove to be worth the effort.

0:01:390:01:42

To football now and Leicester are still top of the premier league

0:01:430:01:46

after the weekend's action.

0:01:460:01:47

Manchester United lost 1-0 to West Brom,

0:01:470:01:49

it's their first win over United in the league for 32 years.

0:01:490:01:54

Soloman Rondon scored the only goal of the game.

0:01:540:01:56

United were down to ten men after Juan Mata was sent off

0:01:560:01:59

in the first half.

0:01:590:02:00

Manager Louis Van Gaal was not too impressed.

0:02:000:02:05

It's a big blow again, because it was not necessary.

0:02:050:02:08

You see the game in the first half, then it was not

0:02:080:02:11

necessary, I think.

0:02:110:02:15

We want to know who you think will win the Premier League.

0:02:150:02:18

Do you think Leicester have got what it takes

0:02:180:02:20

to be crowned champions?

0:02:200:02:21

Head online and let us know.

0:02:210:02:24

Great Britain ended the Track Cycling World Championships

0:02:240:02:26

in London at the top of the medal table.

0:02:260:02:29

Laura Trott won her second gold medal of the competition

0:02:290:02:32

in the women's omnium.

0:02:320:02:34

Sir Bradley Wiggins and Mark Cavendish also picked up

0:02:340:02:36

a gold medal in the madison.

0:02:360:02:38

Wiggins said it was a nice way to finish the championships.

0:02:380:02:42

This was like a bit of a bonus, we hadn't done any madison changes,

0:02:420:02:46

it was just something we would get up

0:02:460:02:48

and do, a bit of a spectacle at the end, so it was so nice to be

0:02:480:02:52

world champion again.

0:02:520:02:53

Like Mark said, we can maybe ride the London 6 together as world

0:02:530:02:56

champions now, the Ghent 6 maybe.

0:02:560:02:57

So that is a bit of a celebration thing at the end of the year to do

0:02:570:03:01

all of those.

0:03:010:03:02

So it is just brilliant, yeah.

0:03:020:03:05

There was success in the tennis too as Great Britain

0:03:050:03:07

are through to the quarterfinals of the Davis Cup competition.

0:03:070:03:10

Andy Murray rounded off the weekend's matches by beating

0:03:100:03:12

Kei Nishikori over five sets.

0:03:120:03:15

Team GB will take on Novak Djokovic's Serbian team in July.

0:03:150:03:19

It was Andy's first match back since the birth of his daughter,

0:03:190:03:22

who he couldn't wait to get back to.

0:03:220:03:25

Looking forward to getting back, you know,

0:03:250:03:27

it's Kim's first Mother's Day, so.

0:03:270:03:31

CHEERING.

0:03:310:03:34

Yeah, so, nice to hopefully get to see her this

0:03:340:03:37

evening, I'll try and get back for bath-time and try and put her,

0:03:370:03:40

put her to sleep.

0:03:400:03:42

Not Kim, the baby!

0:03:420:03:46

It sounds like an idea from the distant future,

0:03:460:03:48

but driverless lorries could be making an appearance on our roads

0:03:480:03:51

sooner than you'd think.

0:03:510:03:53

The government is expected to agree plans for testing

0:03:530:03:56

the new technology later this month, according to newspaper reports.

0:03:560:03:59

The vehicles would use cameras and radars to help them avoid other

0:03:590:04:03

road users and a human driver would be present too.

0:04:030:04:07

A similar scheme has already been tested in Germany.

0:04:070:04:13

Stargazers across the country were treated to a dazzling display

0:04:130:04:15

of the Northern Lights last night.

0:04:150:04:17

Known as the aurora borealis, it was visible in Scotland

0:04:170:04:19

and Northern Ireland, but also spotted as far south

0:04:190:04:22

as Anglesey in Wales and Oxfordshire in England,

0:04:220:04:26

painting the night sky with shades of green,

0:04:260:04:29

purple and blue.

0:04:290:04:33

Before we got take a look at these talented pooches.

0:04:330:04:36

These pets and their owners opened a surfing festival

0:04:360:04:38

on Australia's sunshine coast.

0:04:380:04:40

Competitors from all over the world have travelled to the event

0:04:400:04:43

in Queensland, which is described as surfing's answer

0:04:430:04:45

to the Olympic Games.

0:04:450:04:51

That's all from me, Newsround's back right here at 8:15am when we'll be

0:04:510:04:54

meeting a Formula One driver.

0:04:540:04:55

See you then!
