:00:00. > :00:07.Jenny here, live with your last Newsround this Saturday.
:00:08. > :00:11.How YOU can help scientists learn about penguins
:00:12. > :00:27.Two friends were on a secret trip, through deepest space they flew...
:00:28. > :00:32.How do you fancy getting involved with some Antarctic research?
:00:33. > :00:36.That's what British scientists are asking kids like you to do.
:00:37. > :00:39.They've set up a network of penguin monitoring cameras in Antarctica
:00:40. > :00:52.BBC reporter Victoria Gill sent us this report.
:00:53. > :00:55.Earlier this year, I joined a team of scientists in Antarctica,
:00:56. > :00:58.where they have been setting up a network of remote cameras
:00:59. > :01:01.Now the images those cameras have captured mean that you could
:01:02. > :01:07.We are a very long way from Antarctica, but these children
:01:08. > :01:12.Every penguin they click on and count on this website
:01:13. > :01:14.will add to the database to help scientists with this
:01:15. > :01:21.The results go to the scientists so they can work out how
:01:22. > :01:26.It's kind of fun to be looking at penguins just from
:01:27. > :01:28.the screen and seeing what they are actually doing.
:01:29. > :01:31.And to be knowing that, like, we are saving them.
:01:32. > :01:35.For a class like this, they could adopt their own colony.
:01:36. > :01:38.They can follow it, learn it and they can learn
:01:39. > :01:43.This is part of a large long-term penguin monitoring project,
:01:44. > :01:47.and watching and counting the birds could reveal how threats
:01:48. > :01:50.like pollution and climate change are affecting the icy environment
:01:51. > :01:56.Well, BBC reporter Victoria Gill is making a documentary
:01:57. > :01:59.all about Penguin Watch and has just got back from Antarctica -
:02:00. > :02:07.What was it like filming in those freezing cold conditions?
:02:08. > :02:13.It was very cold. We had to wear lots of clothing, but it was
:02:14. > :02:19.absolutely beautiful. Lots of sunshine, perfect conditions. And it
:02:20. > :02:25.wasn't just that, you were there with penguins. You are a penguin
:02:26. > :02:30.fan. Who isn't a penguin fan? They are wonderful. You can apply human
:02:31. > :02:34.characteristics to them. But they do smell really bad!. We were in the
:02:35. > :02:41.penguin colonies where the team were setting up their cameras, but it
:02:42. > :02:42.does really smell of rotting fish, which takes away their charm
:02:43. > :02:43.somewhat. You watched the final
:02:44. > :02:52.plans put in place - This is a huge deal for the
:02:53. > :02:57.researchers. They have been working on it for six, seven years now. They
:02:58. > :03:00.hitched a lift on a tour boat, because people go on holiday to
:03:01. > :03:03.Antarctica now. They are setting up a network of cameras that will allow
:03:04. > :03:08.them to watch over the penguins and work out what is causing declines.
:03:09. > :03:14.Many species in Antarctica are in decline. Threadlike pollution and
:03:15. > :03:17.climate change are affecting the population. Side is modified out
:03:18. > :03:24.what is happening. So people can get online, look at the images and help
:03:25. > :03:25.them work out what is going on. -- scientist wants to find out what is
:03:26. > :03:27.happening. Three shipwrecked sailors have been
:03:28. > :03:29.rescued from a remote island in the Pacific Ocean after a plane
:03:30. > :03:32.spotted their message, reading HELP, spelt out in palm
:03:33. > :03:34.branches on the beach. The group of men were
:03:35. > :03:37.trying to reach a nearby but when they never arrived
:03:38. > :03:41.Coast Guards were told about it. They spent three days on the island
:03:42. > :03:44.before being rescued. It's the live final tonight,
:03:45. > :03:50.and Ricky met up with finalist Kevin Simm to find out what life's
:03:51. > :03:53.been like since he entered Kevin, the final is this weekend -
:03:54. > :04:01.The Voice final. I didn't expect to get this far,
:04:02. > :04:08.so it's just all been You were in a band when you were
:04:09. > :04:13.younger called Liberty X. Do you think of those days
:04:14. > :04:16.fondly at all? I look back at it all
:04:17. > :04:21.with a lot of pride, and... Because the videos were different
:04:22. > :04:28.to the kind of videos you see today. You look at yourself and you think,
:04:29. > :04:31.oh, I shouldn't have worn that, or I should have gone to the gym
:04:32. > :04:35.a bit more, and things like that. But no, I mean, it was an amazing
:04:36. > :04:37.experience, and you know, Have you enjoyed actually
:04:38. > :04:42.singing live again? The experience of it
:04:43. > :04:44.all has been brilliant, because the place is buzzing,
:04:45. > :04:46.and obviously I get on very well with all the other
:04:47. > :04:50.contestants as well, Do they realise what's
:04:51. > :04:57.going on at the moment, that you're on The Voice,
:04:58. > :05:00.and that Daddy is doing really well? They obviously love seeing me
:05:01. > :05:02.on the television, but I think, to be fair, they like seeing
:05:03. > :05:04.themselves on television But no, they know Daddy's a singer,
:05:05. > :05:08.and they think Daddy lives on the stage, so they are definitely
:05:09. > :05:13.rooting for me. Finally, imagine listening
:05:14. > :05:17.to a bedtime story read by someone who's not next to your bed,
:05:18. > :05:31.but way up in space! home in bed, Roraigh dog of all the
:05:32. > :05:35.things he had done. They had sometimes been quite scary and
:05:36. > :05:38.sometimes loads of fun. -- Roraigh thought of all the things he'd done.
:05:39. > :05:40.Seven-year-old Roraigh won a competition to have this story
:05:41. > :05:43.read to him by by British astronaut Tim Peake while orbiting 400
:05:44. > :05:45.Tim took time out from science experiments
:05:46. > :05:48.on the International Space Station to tell the tale
:05:49. > :05:50.to Roraigh back here on planet Earth.
:05:51. > :05:57.That's all from me - Newsround's back tomorrow.
