Hello there. It's the middle of the week. This ain't no mid-range show. | :00:23. | :00:28. | |
Of course not, Ricky and Sonali here with your high-end Newsround. | :00:28. | :00:35. | |
The record breaking, dare-devil ten-year-old. We look at some of | :00:35. | :00:40. | |
the most fierce dinosaurs ever. First floods have swamped southern | :00:40. | :00:44. | |
Pakistan with up to five million people affected so far. Just over a | :00:44. | :00:50. | |
year ago the very same area, Sindh province, was devastated by some of | :00:50. | :00:53. | |
the worst flooding in decades. People recovering from those floods | :00:53. | :00:57. | |
have now been hit again. Last summer, floodwater ripped through | :00:57. | :01:01. | |
many parts of Pakistan. Up to 20 million people were affected, with | :01:02. | :01:07. | |
Sindh province in the south of the country worst hit. Now, heavy | :01:07. | :01:11. | |
monsoon rains have struck again, causing misery for families still | :01:11. | :01:16. | |
trying to re-build their lives. Thousands of villages are affected | :01:16. | :01:22. | |
across the region. Many shops in Karachi are closed because they are | :01:22. | :01:25. | |
under water. Almost one million houses have been destroyed or | :01:25. | :01:31. | |
damaged by rising waters, forcing many people to flee their homes. | :01:31. | :01:34. | |
TRANSLATION: The water is very dirty. Sometimes we don't eat for | :01:34. | :01:43. | |
two or three days. There's no firewood for cooking. | :01:43. | :01:47. | |
A BBC reporter went to see where some are getting help. This is a | :01:47. | :01:50. | |
few who have come to this point from the villages which have been | :01:50. | :01:54. | |
destroyed to get food aid. As you can see, they are carrying sacks of | :01:54. | :02:00. | |
wheat. There is oil and high-energy biscuits given out by international | :02:00. | :02:03. | |
organisations. One of the charities helping those out there is Save the | :02:03. | :02:07. | |
Children. People are trying to revive their | :02:07. | :02:11. | |
livelihoods from the floods last year. This has again before | :02:11. | :02:14. | |
affected bad because of the floods which have happened now. Schools | :02:14. | :02:19. | |
have been turned into relief camps for people who have been displaced. | :02:19. | :02:23. | |
Because of that the children cannot go to school any more. At the same | :02:23. | :02:27. | |
time there is a risk of disease spreading, because there is a lot | :02:27. | :02:35. | |
of floodwater standing. Diseases such as cholera, malaria, diarrhoea | :02:35. | :02:38. | |
are affecting those living there. These floods are not on the same | :02:38. | :02:42. | |
scale as last year's, but with more rains to come, things look like | :02:42. | :02:46. | |
they could get worse. Cheryl Cole has flown out to Afghanistan to | :02:46. | :02:51. | |
visit British troops. Here she is in one of her videos. She will make | :02:51. | :02:55. | |
a special film to mark ten years of British operations in the country. | :02:55. | :03:03. | |
As part of the trip she is meeting members of the Navy, army and Royal | :03:03. | :03:09. | |
Air Force. He has climbed to nearly 300 peaks, braved deep snow and | :03:09. | :03:14. | |
bagged himself a place in the record books. We are talking about | :03:14. | :03:21. | |
our presspacker, Ben, who is just ten. Hi, I'm Ben. I'm a world | :03:21. | :03:26. | |
record breaking climber. This summer, I became the youngest | :03:26. | :03:32. | |
person ever to climb all the Scottish peaks above 3,000 peaks. | :03:32. | :03:37. | |
They are monro peaks and there are 380 of them. When I got to the last | :03:37. | :03:41. | |
one I was happy and satisfied, but also a bit sad because that was the | :03:41. | :03:46. | |
end. I don't know why I love walking - I just do. I think it is | :03:46. | :03:52. | |
something to do with the challenge. I've walked through -- worn through | :03:52. | :03:57. | |
five pairs of boots. I walk in them until they virtually dissinister | :03:57. | :04:02. | |
rate. It is breezy today. We've had some rain. It's not nearly as bad | :04:02. | :04:06. | |
as some of the weather I've walked in before. Any way, I love walking | :04:06. | :04:12. | |
in all conditions. On some of the peaks I've had to climb through | :04:12. | :04:15. | |
knee-deep snow. You have to keep going. Sometimes the mountains can | :04:15. | :04:21. | |
be dangerous. You need to be prepared. Here are my three top | :04:21. | :04:27. | |
tips of how to be a mountaineer. Tip one, always be prepared with | :04:27. | :04:32. | |
extra food and clothes. Tip two, if you get bored and you are finding | :04:32. | :04:36. | |
it hard, then think about something good that you're going to do when | :04:36. | :04:42. | |
you get down again. Tip three, get a good dad to take you up the | :04:42. | :04:47. | |
Monroes. Now I have climbed them all I don't know what to do next. I | :04:47. | :04:50. | |
enjoy going to the Alps and I know there are more challenges out there. | :04:50. | :04:57. | |
This is Ben. The ultimate Ben Ten there. | :04:57. | :05:02. | |
Scotland have made it two wins out of two at the rugby World Cup in | :05:02. | :05:07. | |
New Zealand. This morning they beat Georgia 15-16. Dan Parks kicked the | :05:07. | :05:11. | |
points to keep them at the top of Pool B. A brand new show starts | :05:11. | :05:16. | |
tonight, which uncovers the daddy of all dinosaurs, the spinosaurus | :05:16. | :05:20. | |
is said to be the biggest land predator, it was 17 metres long. | :05:20. | :05:25. | |
The programme pieces together some of the latest discoveries and | :05:25. | :05:31. | |
brings them to life with graphics. It shows dinosaurs bigger and | :05:31. | :05:37. | |
badder and more bizarre than you've ever seen before. | :05:38. | :05:43. | |
Here's a question for you; who would come out on top in a fight | :05:43. | :05:46. | |
between a spinosaurus and a carcharo-dontosaurus? | :05:46. | :05:55. | |
Well, the answer can be found on the BBC's brand new epic series of | :05:55. | :05:59. | |
Planet Dinosaur. State-of-the-art 3D technology tells the story of | :05:59. | :06:06. | |
all the creatures which used to roam our planet 200 million years | :06:06. | :06:11. | |
ago. This group lived from South America, through Europe to Asia. | :06:11. | :06:15. | |
the last ten years scientists have made more important discoveries. | :06:15. | :06:18. | |
They say they have a better understanding of our predecessors | :06:18. | :06:26. | |
which once ruleed the planet. In just the last few years we have | :06:26. | :06:31. | |
uncovered fossils, preserved and in tact. New fossils have been dug up | :06:31. | :06:37. | |
in China, Brazil and Argentina. In the latest -- and the latest | :06:37. | :06:41. | |
technology has been used to bring them back to life. | :06:41. | :06:45. | |
I love it. It looks amazing. Joining us here on the sofa is the | :06:45. | :06:50. | |
guy who produced the series, Nigel Patterson, which makes you a | :06:50. | :06:53. | |
dinosaur expert. You say lots of things have been | :06:53. | :06:57. | |
discovered about them in the last ten years. What is your favourite? | :06:57. | :07:01. | |
I think, for me, it is more dinosaurs have been discovered in | :07:01. | :07:06. | |
the last ten years than in the preceding 200. T-rex, the biggest | :07:06. | :07:13. | |
has been deposed not once, not twice, but three times, not least | :07:13. | :07:18. | |
by spinosaurus. Finally, I think for me, feathered dinosaurs that we | :07:18. | :07:21. | |
found in China now show the close relationship between dinosaurs and | :07:22. | :07:26. | |
birds, so much so that dinosaurs think they are closely related. If | :07:26. | :07:32. | |
you look out in the garden you are looking at the decent dents of | :07:32. | :07:35. | |
dinosaurs. The sound are interesting. How do you get to | :07:35. | :07:43. | |
sound? We have to speculate on them. You are using natural history rules, | :07:43. | :07:47. | |
if bigger the louder the roar. We don't want them to roar willy-nilly. | :07:47. | :07:51. |
