:00:00. > :00:12.Hi, Martin here live with your last Newsround of the day. On the way:

:00:13. > :00:16.Thousands of firefighters tackling a huge blaze in China.

:00:17. > :00:25.And what it's like spending 18 months with Brazil's wild animals.

:00:26. > :00:32.We're starting with football. It's a hugely important day for Manchester

:00:33. > :00:35.United. The team is hoping to end its losing streak having lost their

:00:36. > :00:39.last three matches. Wayne Rooney, who is out injured, has used social

:00:40. > :00:43.media to urge United fans to keep backing the players. New manager

:00:44. > :00:47.David Moyes is under pressure. The last time United lost four games in

:00:48. > :00:51.a row was more than 50 years ago. So he's hoping for a win today against

:00:52. > :00:56.Swansea, the same team that knocked them out of the FA cup a week ago.

:00:57. > :01:02.The game kicks off in a few hours. It is just another game. I know it

:01:03. > :01:06.is against the same opponents, but it is another game. A chance to get

:01:07. > :01:14.ourselves back. If you are not winning, that can affect your

:01:15. > :01:20.confidence. Confidence plays a big part in football. But we will try to

:01:21. > :01:23.get back to winning ways. Now to China where fire has severely

:01:24. > :01:27.damaged an ancient Tibetan town in the south west of the country. It

:01:28. > :01:29.happened in Dukezong which is more than a thousand years old and

:01:30. > :01:32.popular with tourists. According to local reports, more than 2,000

:01:33. > :01:38.firefighters, police and volunteers helped put out the blaze which raged

:01:39. > :01:41.for ten hours. There were no reports of injuries. The town has narrow

:01:42. > :02:00.cobbled streets, so it was difficult to get fire trucks up them. It's 60

:02:01. > :02:01.years since the very first BBC TV weather presenter appeared on our

:02:02. > :02:05.screens. Back then they used maps drawn with

:02:06. > :02:09.pencils and even sticky labels. It was a lot more difficult to get it

:02:10. > :02:12.right then and forecasters were often blamed for bad weather. Here's

:02:13. > :02:14.BBC weatherman Simon King to explain how things have changed.

:02:15. > :02:17.In those days, they did not have computers or advanced technology, so

:02:18. > :02:25.they had to draw the weather maps on a board behind the camera. Things

:02:26. > :02:33.were very basic in those days. You could only do our forecast for one

:02:34. > :02:37.day ahead. Now, technology has changed massively. We have

:02:38. > :02:43.computers, satellite information to predict the weather for five days

:02:44. > :02:52.ahead, and also the graphics that are used on TV. We can do forecasts

:02:53. > :02:57.for all around the world. The BBC weather Centre now produces 100

:02:58. > :03:11.national broadcasts a day. Compared to only one day 60 years ago.

:03:12. > :03:14.How would you fancy hanging out with otters, groups of monkeys and trying

:03:15. > :03:17.to track down jaguars in Brazil? Sounds pretty good doesn't it. Well,

:03:18. > :03:21.I've caught up with the man who's spent months doing just that, for a

:03:22. > :03:22.new BBC programme called Wild Brazil.

:03:23. > :03:29.We have three main animals that other stars, giant otters that

:03:30. > :03:44.travel around in a gang and are very noisy. We have coatis. They're very

:03:45. > :03:53.mischievous, always getting into trouble. And we have cappuccino

:03:54. > :04:00.monkeys. They do incredible things. Very funny to watch. What were the

:04:01. > :04:09.real challenges? Finding the animals can be a real challenge. We filmed

:04:10. > :04:22.Jaguars which have hardly ever been filmed before. They are so secret.

:04:23. > :04:30.We think we scanned about 10,000 miles of river bank. We have photos

:04:31. > :04:36.of Jaguars doing amazing things. What surprises did you have? The

:04:37. > :04:42.animals constantly surprised us. We got to know the monkeys very well

:04:43. > :04:50.and we filmed and so behaviour that even the scientists had not seen

:04:51. > :04:58.before. That is our first time? I loved those monkeys. Some tennis

:04:59. > :05:01.news for you now and Britain's Heather Watson has qualified for the

:05:02. > :05:04.main draw at the Australian Open which starts on Monday.

:05:05. > :05:07.She beat American Irina Falconi. Meanwhile, British number one Andy

:05:08. > :05:10.Murray says he's a bit worried about his fitness ahead of his first round

:05:11. > :05:13.Australian open match against Japan's Go Swayda. Murray had a back

:05:14. > :05:19.operation in September and has been training to get back into the game.

:05:20. > :05:24.My back feels much, much better. It is just the rest of the body that

:05:25. > :05:28.hurts a little bit from not playing matches. But that is going to come

:05:29. > :05:34.from playing matches. It is just playing at this level again, in

:05:35. > :05:44.front of big crowds, pressure and nerves there. Back in Tiger -- that

:05:45. > :05:47.can tire you out a little bit. The third series of The Voice starts

:05:48. > :05:51.tonight with two brand new coaches, Kylie Minogue and Ricky Wilson from

:05:52. > :05:54.the Kaiser Chiefs. If you like The Voice, then head over to the

:05:55. > :05:56.Newsround website to test your knowledge on new coach Kylie

:05:57. > :06:00.Minogue. We've also got amazing pictures of a volcanic eruption in

:06:01. > :06:02.Indonesia. And the strangest stories of the week. That's all from me.
