It's Friday afternoon, I'm Ayshah with the top stories around.

:00:00.:00:00.

Team GB's mega medal haul at the Invictus Games.

:00:00.:00:12.

The tech being used to help protect animals from poachers.

:00:13.:00:16.

Disappointment for Ireland as they are knocked out

:00:17.:00:24.

All this week we've been telling you about the huge problem

:00:25.:00:31.

of poaching in South Africa here on Newsround.

:00:32.:00:33.

Poachers illegally hunt rhino and elephant to sell their tusks

:00:34.:00:36.

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

:00:37.:00:38.

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

:00:39.:00:42.

I'm heading out on an anti-poaching patrol it is something that happens

:00:43.:01:00.

everynight here on this reserve. Animals are most at risk at dark, as

:01:01.:01:05.

it makes it harder for the poachers to be seen. I'm a little nervous.

:01:06.:01:09.

I've never done anything like this before. It is pitch-black dark but L

:01:10.:01:16.

B and the team will be there. They are so experienced and can do

:01:17.:01:20.

everything that they say. I'm going to stay near the vehicle. As there

:01:21.:01:24.

is dangerous work with a lot of ground to cover, we are heading out

:01:25.:01:28.

in a jeep with high-powered lights to help us find our way. Before we

:01:29.:01:34.

go I'm fitted with special kit so our location is tracked and my heart

:01:35.:01:39.

rate monitored. Now you are kited up, we have heart

:01:40.:01:45.

monitors on you. Cameras with us, we have radios, knives. We have people

:01:46.:01:51.

with us. Let's go out and do some patrolling.

:01:52.:01:54.

This is the most hi-tech equipment in the world.

:01:55.:01:58.

What are we doing? We are tracking the animals in all of the different

:01:59.:02:03.

areas. We use the systems to tell us where the vulnerabilities are. We

:02:04.:02:08.

check everything we need to do, if we have alerts that come up, we

:02:09.:02:13.

respond aaccordingly. They are developing and testing

:02:14.:02:18.

technology to help them and others in the battle against poachers.

:02:19.:02:24.

Every area and animal that can be check will be. Tonight we are using

:02:25.:02:29.

night vision cameras and infrared to help us spot anything out of the

:02:30.:02:34.

ordinary. OK. Scan with the night vision for me.

:02:35.:02:37.

Sure. OK. I can't really see anything that

:02:38.:02:47.

will cause us concern. Thankfully, the animals in this area

:02:48.:02:50.

are safe. We can let the team at base know everything is OK.

:02:51.:02:53.

And if you want to find out more go online to see our special

:02:54.:02:58.

And you can tell us what you think about poaching on our chat page.

:02:59.:03:04.

Next, adverts for fatty or sugary foods targeted at children could be

:03:05.:03:07.

banned online as part of efforts to tackle obesity.

:03:08.:03:09.

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

:03:10.:03:12.

which are likely to appeal to children under 16.

:03:13.:03:15.

Now the public are being asked if the rules should apply to adverts

:03:16.:03:19.

Prince Harry has said the Invictus Games showed

:03:20.:03:26.

fantastic sportsmanship, friendship and the very best

:03:27.:03:28.

The Paralympic-style games was created by the Prince as a way

:03:29.:03:33.

to inspire and motivate wounded soldiers on their path to recovery.

:03:34.:03:36.

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

:03:37.:03:40.

Speaking at the closing ceremony the Prince said he admired

:03:41.:03:45.

What inspired me was the courage a to make it to the starting line, to

:03:46.:04:00.

take to the field or to dive in that pool, motivated by the goal of

:04:01.:04:06.

Ireland have been knocked out of the Eurovision Song Contest,

:04:07.:04:11.

Westlife's Nicky Byrne was representing Ireland,

:04:12.:04:13.

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

:04:14.:04:16.

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

:04:17.:04:22.

They qualify automatically as one of the "big five" countries,

:04:23.:04:24.

along with France, Germany, Italy and Spain, as well as last

:04:25.:04:27.

Finally to the goats cheering up residents at an old folks home

:04:28.:04:38.

The home is opening its own pygmy goat centre.

:04:39.:04:41.

Staff want people living there to enjoy petting

:04:42.:04:43.

the small goats and say that being around animals can be good

:04:44.:04:46.

That's all from me, Newsround's back at the weekend with Leah,
