Hi, I'm Leah, with all you need to know this Wednesday morning.

:00:00.:00:00.

Coming up in the next few minutes...

:00:07.:00:09.

Stick around a look at our Newsround special about saving the rhino,

:00:10.:00:14.

the superstar footy whose dream came true,

:00:15.:00:25.

And we meet one of the stars of the new

:00:26.:00:27.

First up to South Africa, where at least one rhino is killed

:00:28.:00:34.

The country is home to the largest population of rhino in the world,

:00:35.:00:48.

but poaching is driving these amazing creatures to

:00:49.:00:49.

We've have made a special film about the situation there

:00:50.:00:54.

Here's a sneak peek at Defending the Rhino...

:00:55.:00:58.

South Africa, one of the most spectacular places on the planet.

:00:59.:01:05.

I'm travelling hundreds of miles across the country which is home

:01:06.:01:08.

to some of the world's most magnificent creatures.

:01:09.:01:12.

But these animals are facing a fight and at the moment

:01:13.:01:15.

I'll meet the people putting their lives in danger

:01:16.:01:23.

to protect Africa's wildlife before it's too late.

:01:24.:01:28.

And trying to track down to rhinos who are lucky to be alive.

:01:29.:01:41.

And you can watch the film this afternoon on CBBC at 5pm or over

:01:42.:01:44.

That's also where you can learn how poo can help you track a rhino,

:01:45.:01:55.

Next, the country of China is not known for its football,

:01:56.:02:01.

but now they want to become one of the best sides in the world

:02:02.:02:04.

and want their super league to compete with the Premier League

:02:05.:02:06.

for the best players in the world, and what better place to start

:02:07.:02:10.

BBC sports reporter Richard Conway sent Newsround this

:02:11.:02:13.

Schoolchildren in China are about to get a lesson

:02:14.:02:20.

of a different kind - football!

:02:21.:02:23.

Many children in Britain play every day but up until now China has

:02:24.:02:26.

That is now changing, due in part to China's president.

:02:27.:02:33.

He is a big football fan, seen here posing for a selfie

:02:34.:02:36.

with Manchester City's striker Sergio Aguero when visiting

:02:37.:02:38.

He wants to improve China's national team and make his country as famous

:02:39.:02:45.

These children are some of the 100 million under the age

:02:46.:02:51.

of six in China who will now be taught football every day.

:02:52.:02:55.

China's professional league is growing increasingly popular.

:02:56.:03:00.

Its star players are coming from some of the best teams in Europe.

:03:01.:03:04.

The club share are as rich as Chelsea and Manchester United,

:03:05.:03:10.

with the players paid as much as Wayne Rooney and Diego Costa.

:03:11.:03:13.

Now children all over China are enjoying playing

:03:14.:03:20.

football and dreaming one day of being star players themselves.

:03:21.:03:22.

What is your favourite team in England?

:03:23.:03:32.

Do you think you one day play a World Cup?

:03:33.:03:36.

China hopes one day to host and even win a World Cup,

:03:37.:03:50.

but that may however take a long time.

:03:51.:03:52.

But those in charge here say they are prepared to do whatever it

:03:53.:03:56.

Staying with football and the boy who is getting the chance to meet

:03:57.:04:00.

Eight-year-old Marshall is a huge footie fan and even though

:04:01.:04:09.

he doesn't have any feet, he's not let it stop him

:04:10.:04:12.

Tomorrow a dream will come true for him as he meets Spurs and gets

:04:13.:04:16.

to have a kickaround with the players.

:04:17.:04:18.

His friend's say he's an inspiration.

:04:19.:04:20.

He's really helpful and he never gives up.

:04:21.:04:26.

They're so good to me, they help me up when I fall over,

:04:27.:04:30.

Now, from soapstar to superhero, actor Ben Hardy, who played

:04:31.:04:41.

Peter Beale in Eastenders, has become one of the big

:04:42.:04:47.

stars in the new superhero movie X-Men Apocalypse.

:04:48.:04:49.

He plays the character Angel, alongside famous actors

:04:50.:04:52.

like Jennifer Lawrence and he joined me in the studio

:04:53.:04:54.

I asked him if he's always wanted to be an action hero.

:04:55.:04:58.

When you are a kid, you play around and think, oh,

:04:59.:05:01.

So to actually be part of a film franchise where I get to

:05:02.:05:07.

If you could have any other X-Men kind of

:05:08.:05:11.

power, apart from the wings, what would you do?

:05:12.:05:13.

I think you'd be good with the claws.

:05:14.:05:18.

It may be five months until Halloween, but for one

:05:19.:05:24.

gardener it'll be a nail-biting wait to see if this seed

:05:25.:05:26.

grows into the biggest pumpkin in the world.

:05:27.:05:30.

Matthew Oliver paid over ?1,000 for the seed

:05:31.:05:32.

which came from the current world record holder grown in Switzerland

:05:33.:05:34.

Matthew's would need to weigh-in at more than a tonne to beat that.

:05:35.:05:53.

It have to wait a long time to see if he breaks a world record.

:05:54.:05:56.

That's all from me, Newsround's back this afternoon

:05:57.:05:59.
