Leah here, with a bird-filled bulletin this Tuesday afternoon!

How the poo from a gang of peacocks is getting people

:00:00.:00:11.

Yep, he's back to predict the World Cup semi-finals.

:00:12.:00:16.

But, first, would you know what to do if someone

:00:17.:00:26.

A schoolboy who saved his sister's life has told Newsround

:00:27.:00:31.

it is essential that more kids are taught First Aid.

:00:32.:00:35.

The medical charity St John Ambulance has launched

:00:36.:00:37.

an online web-cast aimed at teaching the basic skills to

:00:38.:00:39.

At the recent launch, James told Jenny that

:00:40.:00:45.

his sister is still alive, thanks to his First Aid knowledge.

:00:46.:00:55.

On my 16th birthday, may sister fell to the floor and had an epileptic

:00:56.:01:04.

fit. It had never happened before. I saved her life with the First Aid

:01:05.:01:09.

skills I had learned. What would've happened you hadn't learned those

:01:10.:01:15.

skills? I think it would have been fatal. How important is it for

:01:16.:01:19.

children to learn First Aid? I believe it is essential. It could

:01:20.:01:23.

happen to any of us at any time. You've been telling us online

:01:24.:01:26.

about learning First Aid. Connor learned at Cubs

:01:27.:01:28.

and thinks it's a good idea to know Max told us he's never learned

:01:29.:01:31.

First Aid, but says he'd like to. Jessica learned First Aid

:01:32.:01:35.

and she says working with dummies was really fun, and now she knows

:01:36.:01:38.

what to do if someone chokes. Next, the most powerful storm to hit

:01:39.:01:41.

Japan in decades, Typhoon Neoguri has been battering

:01:42.:01:46.

the country's southern islands. Hundreds of thousands of people have

:01:47.:01:48.

been told to seek shelter Flights have been cancelled

:01:49.:01:51.

and schools shut for safety. Forecasters say

:01:52.:01:54.

although the storm's getting weaker as it moves towards other parts of

:01:55.:01:56.

the country, the heavy rain means This is the biggest bird

ever to have flown. It lived over 25 million years ago

:02:00.:02:11.

and its seven-metre outstretched wings made it more

:02:12.:02:14.

like a plane than a bird. Earlier today,

:02:15.:02:16.

Ricky caught up with an expert on prehistoric beasts to see just

:02:17.:02:18.

how big this feathered monster was. This species was absolutely massive,

:02:19.:02:37.

wasn't it? Enormous. This is Pelagornis sandersi. It would have

:02:38.:02:43.

been about seven metres, its wingspan. Another way to show

:02:44.:02:51.

everyone at home how wide this bird was. If you put 12 of me

:02:52.:02:57.

side-by-side, that is the length of this bird. One of the things that

:02:58.:03:01.

would have made it more interesting, is not only this giant

:03:02.:03:05.

wingspan, but these bony projections coming out of its mouth. They kind

:03:06.:03:11.

of look like teeth, but they are actually bone. Why is this such an

:03:12.:03:17.

incredible discovery? Because it pushes the limits and boundaries of

:03:18.:03:24.

high and birds would have been and still be able to fly. I don't think

:03:25.:03:27.

we will find anything much larger than this.

:03:28.:03:29.

Have ever had to wear a uniform you weren't wild about?

:03:30.:03:31.

The person who came up with this, Scotland's official uniform

:03:32.:03:33.

for the Commonwealth Games, has defended her design after some

:03:34.:03:36.

It is really bright and attractive. I think it will stand out. It is

:03:37.:03:57.

quite nice, actually. Nice and blue. It doesn't look very traditional for

:03:58.:03:58.

Scotland. It is too colourful. Next to some pesky peacocks causing

:03:59.:04:02.

poo problems in Greater Manchester. Nobody's quite sure where

between Germany and Brazil - the two most successful teams

in World Cup history. They're each trying to make it to
