0:00:03 > 0:00:04Hi.
0:00:04 > 0:00:05You're live with Newsround this Monday.
0:00:05 > 0:00:06I'm Ayshah.
0:00:06 > 0:00:10Stay tuned for all of this.
0:00:10 > 0:00:12Eight golds for Team Paralympics GB in Rio.
0:00:12 > 0:00:17And can you spot the difference between these giraffes?
0:00:25 > 0:00:26First up to that spectacular Sunday in Rio for TEam Paralymmpics
0:00:30 > 0:00:32GB winning those eight gold medals.
0:00:32 > 0:00:36Check this out.
0:00:36 > 0:00:39Here's sprinter Richard Whitehead out on his own and winning gold
0:00:39 > 0:00:45in the T42 200 metres.
0:00:45 > 0:00:49And not far behind him was fellow Brit Dave Henson who took bronze.
0:00:49 > 0:00:54Elsewhere, swimmer Beth Firth dominated the S14 200m freestyle
0:00:54 > 0:01:03to take gold ahead of team-mate Jessica-Jane Applegate.
0:01:03 > 0:01:06Club thrower Jo Butterfield broke the world record and secured
0:01:06 > 0:01:09Britain's eighth gold medal of the day.
0:01:09 > 0:01:11The other golds came in the afternoon, from
0:01:11 > 0:01:19the rowing and cycling teams.
0:01:19 > 0:01:23The British Paralympian team are now second in the medal
0:01:23 > 0:01:29table with a whopping 23 golds, and 56 overall.
0:01:29 > 0:01:31Next, Hilary Clinton, who is campaigning to become
0:01:31 > 0:01:33President of the United States for the Democratic Party,
0:01:33 > 0:01:35has been diagnosed with pneumonia.
0:01:35 > 0:01:38She became unwell while at an event in New York.
0:01:38 > 0:01:40The man campaigning against her, Donald Trump, has questioned
0:01:40 > 0:01:43whether she is fit enough to take on the job of
0:01:43 > 0:01:45President should she win.
0:01:45 > 0:01:52But speaking yesterday, Clinton said she was "feeling great."
0:01:52 > 0:01:54Families in Cumbria in north-west England have been
0:01:54 > 0:01:56moving back into their homes after floods last December
0:01:56 > 0:01:58left thousands of people without anywhere to live.
0:01:58 > 0:02:01Christmas wasn't the only thing ruined.
0:02:01 > 0:02:03Well, Leah's been to meet one family in the town of Kendal
0:02:03 > 0:02:09who are finally making a fresh start after a difficult few months.
0:02:09 > 0:02:12Zoe, Ali, these are some of the pictures you took
0:02:12 > 0:02:13during the floods.
0:02:13 > 0:02:14Can you talk me through them?
0:02:14 > 0:02:15It was disgusting, just horrible.
0:02:15 > 0:02:16Really?
0:02:16 > 0:02:19I couldn't believe it.
0:02:19 > 0:02:21I was like, what has happened?
0:02:21 > 0:02:23December 2015.
0:02:23 > 0:02:27A time of year Ali and her mum would rather forget.
0:02:27 > 0:02:32It was horrible seeing that in the back garden.
0:02:32 > 0:02:38Heavy rain left thousands of people's homes flooded.
0:02:38 > 0:02:40Roads across parts of the north-west of England and the Borders
0:02:40 > 0:02:44turned into canals.
0:02:44 > 0:02:48Here in Kendal in Cumbria, people's lives were turned upside down.
0:02:48 > 0:02:51Last December was the wettest month on record in the UK.
0:02:51 > 0:02:54And today, things look very different.
0:02:54 > 0:02:57Almost nine months have passed, and now Ali and her mum Zoe
0:02:57 > 0:03:01are moving back into the family home and say their life now can
0:03:01 > 0:03:06return back to normal.
0:03:06 > 0:03:11We are back in now and it's all over.
0:03:11 > 0:03:14We don't have to be in a different house, we are all together.
0:03:14 > 0:03:17It's lovely to feel that we're back in.
0:03:17 > 0:03:19Where did the water come to in this room?
0:03:19 > 0:03:20To the top of the fire.
0:03:20 > 0:03:23So, knee-length really.
0:03:23 > 0:03:27I was in my wellies and it was over the top of my knees.
0:03:27 > 0:03:28It was horrible.
0:03:28 > 0:03:31The carpet was black and horrible.
0:03:31 > 0:03:35I was like, this isn't happening.
0:03:35 > 0:03:38While the Government is investing billions of pounds into building up
0:03:38 > 0:03:40flood defences across the UK, it could take years for families
0:03:40 > 0:03:43like this one to complete the repairs of their homes.
0:03:43 > 0:03:46It feels nice to know that I am here.
0:03:46 > 0:03:50I can come downstairs and sit on the sofa.
0:03:50 > 0:03:53There's all the people that have helped and been really kind
0:03:53 > 0:03:55towards people, and it is really nice to be here.
0:03:55 > 0:03:59Onwards and upwards.
0:03:59 > 0:04:01Ali will never forget what happened to her
0:04:01 > 0:04:03and so many of her neighbours.
0:04:03 > 0:04:13But now, finally, this is a chance for a new start in home.
0:04:13 > 0:04:15Have a look at these giraffes.
0:04:15 > 0:04:18They look pretty similar, right?
0:04:18 > 0:04:20Well, look a bit closer because they're all actually
0:04:20 > 0:04:21different species.
0:04:21 > 0:04:24Scientists in Namibia in Africa have found out that there are four
0:04:24 > 0:04:26species of giraffe, not just one.
0:04:26 > 0:04:30The BBC's science reporter Victoria Gill has more.
0:04:30 > 0:04:33They are Africa's gentlest giants.
0:04:33 > 0:04:36But these animals are in decline as their natural
0:04:36 > 0:04:38habitat is shrinking.
0:04:38 > 0:04:43That threat was the trigger for scientists to sample giraffe DNA
0:04:43 > 0:04:46to find out more about these increasingly fragmented populations.
0:04:46 > 0:04:50This revealed a genetic surprise.
0:04:50 > 0:04:53What these new results show is that there are actually
0:04:53 > 0:04:56four different species of giraffe, all very tall
0:04:56 > 0:05:04and they look very similar.
0:05:04 > 0:05:07But they are as genetically distinct from one another has a polar bear
0:05:07 > 0:05:08is from a brown bear.
0:05:08 > 0:05:10So, these animals have now been newly categorised.
0:05:10 > 0:05:12There are reticulated giraffes, northern giraffes, the southern
0:05:12 > 0:05:14giraffe and Masai giraffe.
0:05:14 > 0:05:17It may look like a tricky game of spot the difference
0:05:17 > 0:05:21but to conservationists it is crucial information.
0:05:21 > 0:05:23Now understanding these real genetic differences helps us
0:05:23 > 0:05:26understand there may be differences in mating behaviour,
0:05:26 > 0:05:33breeding patterns which are critical to conserving a species.
0:05:33 > 0:05:35The wild population of giraffes has declined by 40%
0:05:35 > 0:05:37in the last 15 years.
0:05:37 > 0:05:39So, looking deep into their DNA could help conservationists
0:05:39 > 0:05:48understand and protect the world's tallest mammals.
0:05:48 > 0:05:51That's all from me.
0:05:51 > 0:05:53Newsround's back this afternoon with Ricky.
0:05:53 > 0:05:55Bye.
