Hey!

0:00:060:00:07

Morning, everyone!

0:00:070:00:08

Leah here with Friday's top stories from Newsround.

0:00:080:00:11

Coming up in the next few minutes: stories from Newsround.

0:00:110:00:14

We're talking about Team GB's mega medal haul at the Invictus Games.

0:00:140:00:17

Ayshah's on patrol using tech that's helping protect

0:00:170:00:19

animals from poachers.

0:00:190:00:19

And because it's Friday we'll have some goats cheering up residents

0:00:190:00:22

at an old peoples' home.

0:00:220:00:25

So, first, all week we've been telling you about the huge problem

0:00:340:00:38

of poaching in South Africa here on Newsround.

0:00:380:00:40

Poachers illegally hunt rhino and elephant to sell their tusks

0:00:400:00:42

and horns, but some groups are using technology to fight back.

0:00:420:00:45

Ayshah went to a reserve to see how head ranger LB and his team

0:00:450:00:48

are protecting the wildlife there.

0:00:480:00:53

I'm heading out on an anti-poaching patrol.

0:00:540:00:57

It's something that happens every night here on this reserve.

0:00:570:01:01

Animals are most at risk when it's dark because it makes it harder for

0:01:030:01:06

poachers to be seen.

0:01:060:01:07

I am a little bit nervous.

0:01:080:01:09

I've never done anything like this before.

0:01:090:01:12

It is pitch black dark, but LB and the

0:01:120:01:15

team will be there.

0:01:150:01:19

They are so experienced and we can do everything

0:01:190:01:21

they say and stay right near the vehicle.

0:01:210:01:27

Because this is dangerous work, and we have a lot of ground to

0:01:270:01:31

cover, we are heading out in a jeep which has

0:01:310:01:33

high-powered lights to help us find our way.

0:01:330:01:35

But before we go, I'm being fitted with special

0:01:350:01:39

kit so our location can be trackedand my heart rate monitored.

0:01:390:01:42

Now we have you kitted up, tracking systems

0:01:420:01:47

on you cameras that are live streaming, radios, and armed people.

0:01:470:01:50

Let's go out and do some patrolling.

0:01:500:01:52

This reserve is one of the most high-tech in the world.

0:01:520:01:54

Where are we heading to now?

0:01:540:01:56

What we will do now is start driving and we will be

0:01:560:01:59

checking the fence line, the animals and all of the different areas.

0:01:590:02:03

We use our system to tell us where the

0:02:030:02:05

vulnerabilities are and we will drive around and check those.

0:02:050:02:08

We will check everything we need to do

0:02:080:02:15

and if we have any alerts that come up, we will respond to them

0:02:150:02:18

accordingly.

0:02:180:02:19

They are developing and testing new technology here to help

0:02:190:02:22

them and others in the battle against poachers.

0:02:220:02:24

Every area and animal that can be checked needs to

0:02:240:02:26

be.

0:02:260:02:27

Tonight we are using night-vision cameras and infrared to

0:02:270:02:33

help us spot anything out of the ordinary.

0:02:330:02:35

Can you scan with the night-vision for me?

0:02:350:02:37

Yes, sure.

0:02:370:02:39

OK, I can't really see anything that would cause us concern.

0:02:390:02:47

Thankfully, the animals in the area are safe so

0:02:490:02:51

we can let the team back at base know everything is OK.

0:02:510:02:56

Head online to see our special documentary Defending the Rhino,

0:02:580:03:01

watch it and tell your friends, it's brilliant.

0:03:010:03:11

Also this morning, adverts for fatty or sugary foods targeted at children

0:03:110:03:14

could be banned online as part of efforts to tackle obesity.

0:03:140:03:17

At the moment unhealthy foods can't be advertised on programmes

0:03:170:03:19

which are likely to appeal to children under 16.

0:03:190:03:21

Now a public consultation has been launched to see if the rules need

0:03:210:03:24

to be extended to the internet.

0:03:240:03:26

The Invictus games came to a close last night.

0:03:260:03:29

The games were created by Prince Harry to inspire

0:03:290:03:32

and motivate wounded soldiers on their path to recovery.

0:03:320:03:34

Team GB is coming home with a huge haul of medals,

0:03:340:03:37

second only to America.

0:03:370:03:40

Zoe Williams bagged herself three gold medals and a silver

0:03:400:03:43

in the swimming events.

0:03:430:03:50

Over a period of time during my training in the Royal Navy, I

0:03:500:03:53

sustained a back injury which meant I was not able to continue my career

0:03:530:03:56

at sea.

0:03:560:03:58

The experience has just been unbelievable.

0:03:580:04:02

Prince Harry was absolutely right, lives have really

0:04:020:04:06

changed, and it just proves that anybody,

0:04:060:04:08

whatever has happened to you, can achieve incredible things.

0:04:080:04:11

Sticking with sport now, and at the National Dwarf Games

0:04:110:04:14

in Birmingham a 12-year-old boy from Plymouth has won

0:04:140:04:16

an impressive 13 medals.

0:04:160:04:20

Zander Harris won six gold, four silver, and three bronze

0:04:200:04:24

medals in sprinting, discus, shot put, cycling,

0:04:240:04:26

relay, swimming, football and hockey.

0:04:260:04:29

And his love of sport was all down to his dad.

0:04:290:04:37

Since I started in nursery I have always wanted to do sport.

0:04:370:04:41

It's also to do with my dad liking football and we played

0:04:410:04:44

badminton and tennis over our fence.

0:04:440:04:47

Finally to the goats cheering up residents at a care home

0:04:470:04:50

in Wiltshire in England.

0:04:500:04:51

The home is opening its own pygmy goat centre.

0:04:510:04:55

Staff want people living there to enjoy petting the small

0:04:550:04:57

goats and say that being around animals can be good

0:04:570:05:00

for people's health.

0:05:000:05:01

But some creatures that aren't getting such a warm welcome

0:05:010:05:03

are seagulls in the city of Bath in the south of England.

0:05:030:05:07

Locals have been complaining about the noise from the birds

0:05:070:05:10

and their aggressive behaviour so the council is removing seagulls'

0:05:100:05:14

nests and using birds of prey to try to encourage

0:05:140:05:16

the birds to go elsewhere.

0:05:160:05:20

Ireland have been knocked out of the Eurovision song contest

0:05:200:05:23

in semi-finals which took place last night.

0:05:230:05:30

Westlife's Nicky Byrne was representing Ireland

0:05:300:05:32

who are the most successful country in the contest's 61-year history,

0:05:320:05:34

with a total of seven wins.

0:05:340:05:36

Sweden, who won last year, are guaranteed a place

0:05:360:05:38

in tomorrow's grand final.

0:05:380:05:44

Duo Joe and Jake from the Voice are representing the UK this year.

0:05:440:05:48

The UK qualifies automatically as one of the "Big Five" countries,

0:05:480:05:51

along with France, Germany, Italy and Spain.

0:05:510:05:54

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