It's coming up to 8:17am. | 0:00:03 | 0:00:04 | |
You're live with Newsround on CBBC this Tuesday. | 0:00:04 | 0:00:07 | |
I'm Ayshah. | 0:00:07 | 0:00:08 | |
On the way this morning. | 0:00:08 | 0:00:10 | |
We've got muggles...plans for a UK Quidditch Premier League. | 0:00:10 | 0:00:14 | |
And mowing...lawn mower racing in Finland. | 0:00:14 | 0:00:18 | |
First, around 200,000 people living close to America's tallest dam have | 0:00:26 | 0:00:30 | |
been told it's not safe for them to return home yet. | 0:00:30 | 0:00:33 | |
The area around the Oroville Dam was evacuated after a hole | 0:00:33 | 0:00:36 | |
was found in part of it. | 0:00:36 | 0:00:39 | |
The Oroville Dam is in northern California. | 0:00:39 | 0:00:41 | |
It's the tallest in America, at 230 metres, which is about the same | 0:00:41 | 0:00:45 | |
as 15 double decker buses stacked on top of each other. | 0:00:45 | 0:00:50 | |
A dam is a barrier that's built to hold back water. | 0:00:50 | 0:00:54 | |
It can be used to generate electricity, supply homes, | 0:00:54 | 0:00:57 | |
or to help stop flooding. | 0:00:57 | 0:01:00 | |
The Oroville Dam works by collecting rain water in a reservoir or a lake. | 0:01:00 | 0:01:03 | |
But there's been heavy rain and snow recently, | 0:01:03 | 0:01:08 | |
meaning the lake has got too full. | 0:01:08 | 0:01:09 | |
When something like this happens, a spillway, | 0:01:09 | 0:01:11 | |
which looks a bit like a huge water slide, is used | 0:01:11 | 0:01:14 | |
to release some of the water in a controlled way. | 0:01:14 | 0:01:17 | |
But the heavy rain has damaged the spillway. | 0:01:17 | 0:01:21 | |
It's got a big hole in it. | 0:01:21 | 0:01:23 | |
There were worries it could have caused a huge wall of water to fall | 0:01:23 | 0:01:26 | |
into the river below and flood the area. | 0:01:26 | 0:01:29 | |
Thousands of people were ordered to leave their homes. | 0:01:29 | 0:01:33 | |
Many spent the night in shelters. | 0:01:33 | 0:01:35 | |
They've now been told they can't return home yet. | 0:01:35 | 0:01:37 | |
Getting those people home is important to me. | 0:01:37 | 0:01:39 | |
I want that to happen as soon as possible. | 0:01:39 | 0:01:43 | |
But I have to be able to sleep at night | 0:01:43 | 0:01:46 | |
knowing that they are back in that area. | 0:01:46 | 0:01:49 | |
Teams have been working to fix the problem. | 0:01:49 | 0:01:52 | |
After draining some of the water, bags of rocks | 0:01:52 | 0:01:55 | |
were dropped to plug the hole. | 0:01:55 | 0:01:57 | |
Workers then checked the damage. | 0:01:57 | 0:02:00 | |
For now, the water levels in the lake have gone down | 0:02:00 | 0:02:03 | |
but more rain is expected in the area this week. | 0:02:03 | 0:02:08 | |
It's no fun being left out of your team, is it? | 0:02:08 | 0:02:10 | |
Just ask Sergio Aguero. | 0:02:10 | 0:02:12 | |
The Manchester City striker was put on the bench again last night | 0:02:12 | 0:02:15 | |
to make way for the new kid on the block, Gabriel Jesus. | 0:02:15 | 0:02:20 | |
Less than 15 minutes in, he got injured, giving | 0:02:20 | 0:02:23 | |
Aguero his chance to shine. | 0:02:23 | 0:02:25 | |
But it was Raheem Sterling who scored first! | 0:02:25 | 0:02:33 | |
It came instead on the far post to Raheem Sterling, and it is in | 0:02:33 | 0:02:37 | |
for him. | 0:02:37 | 0:02:39 | |
A second goal. | 0:02:39 | 0:02:41 | |
In the second half, Aguero appeared to put one in, | 0:02:41 | 0:02:44 | |
only for it to be given as an own goal to | 0:02:44 | 0:02:47 | |
Bournemouth's Tyrone Mings. | 0:02:47 | 0:02:48 | |
Either way, a 2-0 win for City which puts them into second | 0:02:48 | 0:02:51 | |
in the Premier League title race. | 0:02:51 | 0:02:55 | |
Now, I don't think Sergio Aguero would be happy if this happened | 0:02:55 | 0:02:58 | |
at the Etihad Stadium. | 0:02:58 | 0:02:59 | |
A council in Aberdeenshire in Scotland has said | 0:02:59 | 0:03:01 | |
sorry after making a bit of an awkward mix-up. | 0:03:01 | 0:03:04 | |
These trees were planted as part of the council's plan | 0:03:04 | 0:03:07 | |
to help boost nature in the area. | 0:03:07 | 0:03:12 | |
But, they ended up planting them in the middle of | 0:03:12 | 0:03:14 | |
a local football pitch! | 0:03:14 | 0:03:15 | |
Oh dear! | 0:03:15 | 0:03:16 | |
I wonder if they are playing tree-aside? | 0:03:16 | 0:03:19 | |
A different kind of sporting League is due to start later this year. | 0:03:19 | 0:03:22 | |
A quidditch Premier League. | 0:03:22 | 0:03:24 | |
Oh, yes, there are plans for a UK-wide muggles version | 0:03:24 | 0:03:27 | |
of the magical sport created by JK Rowling's Harry Potter books, | 0:03:27 | 0:03:30 | |
and try-outs for teams are already taking place. | 0:03:30 | 0:03:36 | |
There are no flying balls, witches and wizards or broomsticks | 0:03:36 | 0:03:38 | |
here, this is quiddich. | 0:03:38 | 0:03:42 | |
Confused? | 0:03:42 | 0:03:43 | |
Here are the rules. | 0:03:43 | 0:03:44 | |
There are three tracers and a keeper who are trying | 0:03:44 | 0:03:47 | |
to score with a quaffle, which is a slightly | 0:03:47 | 0:03:50 | |
deflated volleyball, through one of three hoops. | 0:03:50 | 0:03:52 | |
You can score either way through the hoop. | 0:03:52 | 0:03:54 | |
There are two beaters, who are fighting for control of two | 0:03:54 | 0:03:57 | |
of three dodgeballs. | 0:03:57 | 0:03:58 | |
And lastly, there's the seeker, who is trying to catch the snitch, | 0:03:58 | 0:04:01 | |
when the snitch is released onto the pitch at 17 | 0:04:01 | 0:04:03 | |
minutes of game time. | 0:04:03 | 0:04:04 | |
This game is inspired by the sport played by Harry | 0:04:04 | 0:04:07 | |
and his friends in JK Rowling's Harry Potter stories. | 0:04:07 | 0:04:09 | |
It's now played in 25 countries all over the world. | 0:04:09 | 0:04:11 | |
So, what makes a good quiddich player? | 0:04:11 | 0:04:14 | |
The ability to laugh at yourself is always good. | 0:04:14 | 0:04:19 | |
You can't take it too seriously, because at the end of the day | 0:04:19 | 0:04:23 | |
we are running around with things between our legs. | 0:04:23 | 0:04:25 | |
You've got to be athletic, sometimes games can go | 0:04:25 | 0:04:28 | |
on for over an hour, just running up and down, | 0:04:28 | 0:04:30 | |
sprinting back and forth. | 0:04:30 | 0:04:32 | |
These guys are trying out for a new team that will be playing | 0:04:32 | 0:04:35 | |
in the UK's quiddich Premier League this summer. | 0:04:35 | 0:04:39 | |
This is a big deal, it's going to be taking the best players | 0:04:39 | 0:04:42 | |
across the country together to form super-teams to play each other | 0:04:42 | 0:04:45 | |
all throughout the summer, leading to a big event | 0:04:45 | 0:04:47 | |
where the champion of the quiddich Premier League will be crowned. | 0:04:47 | 0:04:50 | |
But why is the game so popular? | 0:04:50 | 0:04:54 | |
It's very open and people are extremely nice. | 0:04:54 | 0:04:57 | |
There's so many different positions, there's something to suit everyone. | 0:04:57 | 0:05:00 | |
Like, I'm not so good at the physical side of it, | 0:05:00 | 0:05:03 | |
I'm not clearly strong in any way. | 0:05:03 | 0:05:06 | |
But I have got a decent throw on me, I can throw quite hard. | 0:05:06 | 0:05:10 | |
With the right players, who knows, these guys just might be able | 0:05:10 | 0:05:13 | |
to magic up a successful season. | 0:05:13 | 0:05:17 | |
And finally, Newsrounders, start your engines, for another | 0:05:17 | 0:05:19 | |
sport with a bit of a difference! | 0:05:19 | 0:05:21 | |
Welcome to the lawn mower Ice Grand Prix in Finland, | 0:05:21 | 0:05:26 | |
where competitors race against each other to complete as many laps | 0:05:26 | 0:05:29 | |
of the track as possible within 12 hours riding on a giant lawn | 0:05:29 | 0:05:32 | |
mower, of course. | 0:05:32 | 0:05:33 | |
The race was held on a frozen lake this year, and temperatures | 0:05:33 | 0:05:36 | |
were around minus four degrees Celsius, so just a bit nippy then! | 0:05:36 | 0:05:41 | |
We'll leave you this morning with something a bit warmer. | 0:05:41 | 0:05:44 | |
This Valentine's Day poem. | 0:05:44 | 0:05:45 | |
Roses are red, Violets are blue, | 0:05:45 | 0:05:47 | |
