You're watching Newsround this Monday morning with me, Ricky.

:00:00.:00:07.

Some magical news for Harry Potter and the Cursed Child.

:00:08.:00:19.

And ewe won't believe this magical lamb story.

:00:20.:00:25.

First, to Australia, where scientists say two-thirds

:00:26.:00:27.

of the Great Barrier Reef has now been devastated by

:00:28.:00:29.

A new survey of the reef shows that the latest damage is mainly

:00:30.:00:35.

Last year, the northern parts were hit badly.

:00:36.:00:39.

Bleaching happens when coral loses the algae that lives

:00:40.:00:41.

on it, and is caused by rising water temperatures.

:00:42.:00:45.

Back here, it was a weekend of sunshine and ice cream for loads

:00:46.:00:48.

of you, with temperatures topping 25.5 degrees Celsius in Cambridge.

:00:49.:00:54.

That's the hottest day of the year so far.

:00:55.:00:56.

Both Saturday and Sunday gave us lots to smile about.

:00:57.:00:59.

But, sadly, all good things come to an end and while it's much cooler

:01:00.:01:02.

this morning we can expect cloudy weather too.

:01:03.:01:06.

It was also a weekend of smiles for Harry Potter

:01:07.:01:09.

and the Cursed Child, which won nine Olivier Awards -

:01:10.:01:11.

As well as winning Best New Play, Jamie Parker won Best Actor

:01:12.:01:17.

for playing Harry, while Noma Dumezweni got

:01:18.:01:20.

the Best Supporting Actress award for playing Hermoine.

:01:21.:01:24.

This is an extraordinary piece of theatre, but it's still small,

:01:25.:01:26.

I do feel from what people are saying, it's like, "Oh, gosh,

:01:27.:01:33.

I didn't know it was possible that theatre could do that."

:01:34.:01:36.

Also on winning form yesterday were Manchester United,

:01:37.:01:42.

Marcus Rashford put in the third goal for United, who are now

:01:43.:01:47.

unbeaten in 21 games - while Sunderland are looking pretty

:01:48.:01:50.

The hardest thing, being a manager, is when you're losing all the time.

:01:51.:01:57.

I think I've been someone who has been fortunate enough to work

:01:58.:02:03.

at teams where we won a lot of games.

:02:04.:02:06.

At the moment it's tough, but it's tough for the players

:02:07.:02:09.

as well because they care, they want to do well.

:02:10.:02:11.

And Everton put an end to Leicester's winning

:02:12.:02:13.

Two of the Toffees' goals came from the Premier League's top

:02:14.:02:17.

They're orange, fuzzy and live in the rainforest,

:02:18.:02:23.

but orangutans are facing a big threat from something

:02:24.:02:25.

Orangutans are found in Indonesia and Malaysia,

:02:26.:02:33.

but they are critically endangered, which means the numbers of them

:02:34.:02:36.

left in the wild have massively decreased.

:02:37.:02:38.

Carla has studied them for years now, and has even

:02:39.:02:40.

They're basically my hairy relatives.

:02:41.:02:45.

They're just so beautiful, so smart and so incredible,

:02:46.:02:48.

So, what are some of the threats to orangutans?

:02:49.:02:55.

The major threats are deforestation and habitat loss.

:02:56.:03:00.

So, one of the problems is that the forest is cut down

:03:01.:03:03.

for things like oil palm, or palm oil plantations.

:03:04.:03:07.

That takes away the home for the orangutans and for

:03:08.:03:09.

There's a very great risk of them going extinct,

:03:10.:03:14.

So we're all very worried about that.

:03:15.:03:18.

It's a type of, well, oil, that we get from the fruit that

:03:19.:03:24.

It's used in lots, like up to half the things you find

:03:25.:03:29.

at the supermarket, from food to cleaning products.

:03:30.:03:33.

It's a massive business, worth billions of pounds.

:03:34.:03:36.

But many animals, like orangutans, pay the price.

:03:37.:03:40.

While some companies have agreed to stop clearing rainforests

:03:41.:03:44.

and produce palm oil safely, some conservationists say it's

:03:45.:03:48.

still a problem because the palm oil industry is now moving into other

:03:49.:03:51.

countries, where other animals could be affected.

:03:52.:03:54.

They're unhappy about the way palm oil products are labelled,

:03:55.:03:57.

because it's sometimes unclear whether or not the palm oil has been

:03:58.:03:59.

produced in a way that's damaging to the environment or not.

:04:00.:04:05.

But with the huge demand for palm oil, farmers,

:04:06.:04:08.

companies and conservationists will have to work together

:04:09.:04:11.

to have a hope of solving this in the future.

:04:12.:04:15.

And if you want to read more about the issues around palm oil,

:04:16.:04:18.

there's loads of info over at Newsround online.

:04:19.:04:25.

At this time of year, you don't have to look too

:04:26.:04:28.

far in the countryside to see spring lambs.

:04:29.:04:29.

But while most sheep give birth to just one or two,

:04:30.:04:32.

at one farm in East Yorkshire things are going a bit differently.

:04:33.:04:35.

Sheep normally give birth to just one or two lambs,

:04:36.:04:46.

so shepherds here estimate it's a one in a million chance that this

:04:47.:04:50.

A scan revealed mum was first carrying just four,

:04:51.:04:58.

The lass that does nights was telling me about

:04:59.:05:06.

She said, the ewe with four's lambed.

:05:07.:05:14.

When I came with Debbie into the shed, the fifth lamb

:05:15.:05:17.

They are now fed with supplements that are similar to baby formula.

:05:18.:05:21.

Which means she would normally only have two lambs.

:05:22.:05:30.

When she has five, she can't produce enough milk and have enough teats

:05:31.:05:33.

It just makes it that bit more difficult for her to do.

:05:34.:05:41.

As for mum, well, she's having a few Easter treats herself now

:05:42.:05:44.

That's all from me, Newsround's back on CBBC this afternoon at 4:20.

:05:45.:05:53.
