Hi, guys. Nel here, with news of crumbling cliffs, the Amazing

:00:00.:00:07.

Spiderman. And: Why the Royals ended up racing

:00:08.:00:12.

each other. You're watching Newsround.

:00:13.:00:16.

First, though, to the latest on the search for the missing Malaysian

:00:17.:00:22.

airlines plane. Australian officials say they're confident that signals

:00:23.:00:25.

heard coming from the Indian Ocean are from the black box of flight

:00:26.:00:28.

MH370. It disappeared mid-flight a month ago, something that's

:00:29.:00:32.

extremely rare. And Australia's been leading efforts to find the wreckage

:00:33.:00:35.

ever since. Their Prime Minister says the signals are helping to

:00:36.:00:40.

narrow down the search area. And there's loads more on why the

:00:41.:00:44.

black box is so important in this search, on the Newsround website.

:00:45.:00:47.

Plus, lots of help and advice if you find anything in the news upsetting.

:00:48.:00:51.

Next, to a big debate about keeping killer whales in captivity. A group

:00:52.:00:56.

of schoolgirls in America have been involved in a campaign to stop the

:00:57.:00:59.

whales performing at their local SeaWorld Park in San Diego. It's

:01:00.:01:03.

been supported by millions of people. But those who work with the

:01:04.:01:06.

mammals insist keeping some away from their natural environment is

:01:07.:01:15.

vital. Here's Ayshah. Killer whales are found in every

:01:16.:01:24.

ocean on the planet. It is thought 100,000 live in the wild with around

:01:25.:01:29.

50 in captivity in parks around the world. One park is facing criticism

:01:30.:01:38.

of using killer whales in shows. These girls delivered over 1 million

:01:39.:01:42.

signatures supporting a ban on using killer whales for entertainment and

:01:43.:01:47.

successfully campaigned to have their school trip to the SeaWorld

:01:48.:01:53.

Park cancelled. My friend was really mad with me. I told him, would you

:01:54.:02:01.

rather see killer whales are not treated right, or real Wales in the

:02:02.:02:10.

ocean and go whale watching? The issue is currently being debated by

:02:11.:02:15.

lawmakers in California. They were expected to vote on and off at ban

:02:16.:02:19.

this week but they now say the evidence will be reviewed. Some

:02:20.:02:25.

people believe it is cruel to keep these mammals in captivity. Indeed

:02:26.:02:33.

they suffer from simply being held in confinement. Nobody set is saying

:02:34.:02:38.

their trainers are being cruel. But they do not pride in captivity.

:02:39.:02:44.

Those who work at these parts say what they do is vital for research.

:02:45.:02:49.

The proposed bill will cripple our ability to conduct vital research.

:02:50.:02:54.

Much of this we search is not possible in the wild. The vote will

:02:55.:03:05.

affect only these parts in San Diego and not elsewhere in California.

:03:06.:03:11.

The National Trust is calling for a better plan to protect people from

:03:12.:03:15.

coastal erosion, after heavy storms and high tides last winter caused

:03:16.:03:19.

major damage to the UK's seaside areas. Across the country, several

:03:20.:03:22.

metres of land were filmed falling into the sea. Many people who live

:03:23.:03:25.

in these areas want better flood defences to stop the erosion. But

:03:26.:03:29.

the National Trust say it's safer to move buildings and houses back, and

:03:30.:03:30.

let nature take its course. And the Duke and Duchess of

:03:31.:03:42.

Cambridge have been showing their competitive sides in New Zealand.

:03:43.:03:45.

The couple went head-to-head for some yacht racing in the city of

:03:46.:03:48.

Auckland. The Duchess, who's an experienced sailor, won both races.

:03:49.:03:52.

The Duke joked that it was sabotage! The royals are on a three-week tour

:03:53.:03:55.

of New Zealand and Australia. Movie news, and it was the world

:03:56.:03:58.

Premiere of the Amazing Spider-Man 2 last night. The film features

:03:59.:04:01.

English actor Andrew Garfield as the webbed wonder, and he had this to

:04:02.:04:05.

say when he was asked what his ten-year-old self would have thought

:04:06.:04:08.

about playing such a famous character.

:04:09.:04:13.

I think I would have looked at me like I was crazy, I would have

:04:14.:04:19.

said, I don't think so, my friend, I think you are delusional. Well, here

:04:20.:04:24.

we are. It is very, very weird, very odd.

:04:25.:04:27.

And finally, to a turtle with a twist. After getting tangled up in a

:04:28.:04:30.

fishing net and losing his back flippers, Freedom's swimming days

:04:31.:04:33.

were over, until carers in Israel gave him a prosthetic fin. It's

:04:34.:04:36.

based on fish fins, and strapped to the top of his shell. Freedom is an

:04:37.:04:40.

endangered green turtle. It's hoped his new fin will get him swimming

:04:41.:04:44.

again and bring him out of his shell!
