0:00:03 > 0:00:05Hello, and welcome to Newsround with me, Hayley.

0:00:05 > 0:00:09Here's what everyone's talking about today...

0:00:09 > 0:00:12How drones could help track rare whales...

0:00:12 > 0:00:16And the unusually large worm found in Ecuador.

0:00:26 > 0:00:29To the US now, where Hillary Clinton has been named as an official

0:00:29 > 0:00:31candidate for the presidential election after months

0:00:31 > 0:00:32of campaigning.

0:00:32 > 0:00:34She's the first ever woman to have a real chance of becoming

0:00:36 > 0:00:38president of one of the biggest and most powerful

0:00:38 > 0:00:39countries in the world.

0:00:39 > 0:00:43So I've been finding out more about her.

0:00:43 > 0:00:45Who is Hillary Clinton?

0:00:45 > 0:00:48She's a lawyer turned politician, and she is the first woman to ever

0:00:48 > 0:00:52have a serious chance at becoming the President of the United States.

0:00:52 > 0:00:55She first became famous when her husband, Bill Clinton,

0:00:55 > 0:00:57was the President.

0:00:57 > 0:01:00During her eight years as the First Lady of the United States,

0:01:00 > 0:01:04she campaigned for women's rights and for health care,

0:01:04 > 0:01:08and became a well-known political figure around the world.

0:01:08 > 0:01:10As her husband's leadership came to a close, she decided

0:01:10 > 0:01:13to enter politics herself.

0:01:13 > 0:01:15She wanted to run for President in 2008, but supporters

0:01:15 > 0:01:18of her political party, the Democrats, chose

0:01:18 > 0:01:22Barack Obama to run instead.

0:01:22 > 0:01:24When he won the US election, he appointed Clinton

0:01:24 > 0:01:27as his Secretary of State, and she spent four years in this

0:01:27 > 0:01:28important position, where she looked after America's relationships

0:01:28 > 0:01:33with other countries.

0:01:33 > 0:01:37Now she has a serious chance of becoming the next President.

0:01:37 > 0:01:39The battle for the position is attracting huge attention

0:01:39 > 0:01:41because both Clinton and her Republican party opponent,

0:01:41 > 0:01:46Donald Trump, are so well known around the world.

0:01:46 > 0:01:50Clinton's priorities are employment, equality and health care,

0:01:50 > 0:01:54but many of her opponents think she's an untrustworthy politician.

0:01:54 > 0:01:57Those who support her think this is sexist, and that people

0:01:57 > 0:02:01don't approve of her just because she is a woman.

0:02:01 > 0:02:03If successful, she'll be the first female President

0:02:03 > 0:02:06of the United States.

0:02:06 > 0:02:09The election campaign is already dividing the USA.

0:02:09 > 0:02:12The battle for one of the most influential jobs in the world

0:02:12 > 0:02:16is only going to get hotter as the election draws nearer.

0:02:17 > 0:02:20Now take a look at this rare footage of a Bryde whale off

0:02:20 > 0:02:23the coast of New Zealand.

0:02:23 > 0:02:25They are an endangered species and this footage, taken by a drone,

0:02:25 > 0:02:28is one of the first to capture the whales feeding

0:02:28 > 0:02:31in their natural habitat.

0:02:31 > 0:02:33Scientists believe using drones can help protect the creatures

0:02:33 > 0:02:38without disturbing them.

0:02:38 > 0:02:41Next to the school where two wheels are better than a car.

0:02:41 > 0:02:43Ricky's been to a school in Yorkshire where children have won

0:02:43 > 0:02:46an award for the amount of time they spend on their bikes.

0:02:53 > 0:02:55Helmet on, school awaits.

0:02:55 > 0:02:58There's nothing like a good bike ride.

0:02:58 > 0:03:01No matter what the weather is like, even when it's raining,

0:03:01 > 0:03:07these guys get on their bikes and their scooters, and off they go.

0:03:12 > 0:03:16And these guys are so good at it that they've even won an award.

0:03:17 > 0:03:19For five whole days, every single kids at this small

0:03:19 > 0:03:24school in Yorkshire cycled or scooted to school.

0:03:25 > 0:03:27I think it's important because you're stopping

0:03:27 > 0:03:29pollution, and you're not...

0:03:29 > 0:03:33It's kind of like changing the world.

0:03:33 > 0:03:39You can just go anywhere you want, really.

0:03:41 > 0:03:45I love cycling because it's nice and it's kind of...

0:03:45 > 0:03:48It makes the world better and it kind of relaxes me when

0:03:48 > 0:03:50I go for a bike ride.

0:03:50 > 0:03:51But there's still a problem.

0:03:51 > 0:03:57Cycling charities say lots of you aren't able to ride to school.

0:03:57 > 0:04:00When we do surveys with young people, we find that around a third

0:04:00 > 0:04:03of them want to cycle to school, and yet just one in 50 children

0:04:03 > 0:04:06cycle to school in this country.

0:04:06 > 0:04:08So there's a big difference there.

0:04:08 > 0:04:11But if you go to countries like Denmark or the Netherlands,

0:04:11 > 0:04:14something like a third of children will cycle to school.

0:04:14 > 0:04:17You see much more on a bike than you see in a car,

0:04:17 > 0:04:21and you get more exercise than in a car.

0:04:21 > 0:04:25Busy roads can put lots of you off getting on your bike.

0:04:25 > 0:04:27Charities say riding in groups with an adult can make it easier

0:04:27 > 0:04:32and safer for young people.

0:04:34 > 0:04:37Now, I hope this doesn't put you off your tea,

0:04:37 > 0:04:40but take a look at this giant earthworm spotted during a rainstorm

0:04:40 > 0:04:42in Ecuador in South America.

0:04:42 > 0:04:44It's over one metre in length and weighed

0:04:44 > 0:04:50as much as a bag of sugar.

0:04:50 > 0:04:50That's all from me.

0:04:50 > 0:04:52Newsround's back tomorrow morning with Martin.

0:04:52 > 0:04:55Bye!

0:04:55 > 0:04:55Have

0:04:55 > 0:04:55Have a

0:04:55 > 0:04:55Have a lovely

0:04:55 > 0:04:59Have a lovely evening.
