Hello, Ricky here. We are live just after five with Tuesday's jam-

:00:26.:00:30.

packed Newsround. Stay away you are for the latest, including Doctor

:00:30.:00:36.

Who, will he be a Hollywood superstar? And the dog that loves

:00:36.:00:40.

surfing. First, the footballers raising

:00:40.:00:44.

money for the famine in East Africa. Earlier this year we showed you

:00:44.:00:48.

pictures of families leaving their homes and walking to refugee camps

:00:48.:00:51.

in search of food and water. Thousands of people have died and

:00:51.:00:56.

millions are still suffering, with Kenya, Somalia and Ethiopia are the

:00:56.:00:59.

worst hit. A new appeal is about to be launched. This time, the Premier

:00:59.:01:05.

League is getting involved with the young football stars of the future.

:01:05.:01:09.

Premier League football is big business. Companies pay millions to

:01:09.:01:13.

get their names on advertising boards. But on one weekend you will

:01:13.:01:16.

see something very different. That is why these children have come to

:01:16.:01:21.

Downing Street. It is not every day that you get to test your skills in

:01:21.:01:23.

front of the Prime Minister. These guys are here for a very special

:01:23.:01:27.

reason. They have joined football stars Patrick Vieira and Niall

:01:27.:01:30.

Quinn to launch a new appeal to help those affected by the famine

:01:30.:01:35.

in East Africa. In the last weekend of November, the Premier League

:01:35.:01:38.

will donate free advertising on the pitch and inside football

:01:39.:01:42.

programmes so that charities can appeal for more money. These guys

:01:42.:01:49.

have been busy raising cash as well. Lottie raised nearly �500 after

:01:49.:01:54.

seeing Newsround's report from Kenya. There was a lady and she

:01:54.:02:00.

walked for miles to get to the local well. Then there wasn't

:02:00.:02:04.

anything there. She had to go back to her children without anything.

:02:04.:02:08.

And the kids got to grill money man Chancellor George Osborne. We are

:02:08.:02:13.

going to help save many children's lives. That is a great thing. Your

:02:13.:02:16.

school has been particularly good at raising money. I want to say

:02:16.:02:21.

thank you. When I was in Kenya, at the Dadaab refugee camp, everywhere

:02:21.:02:28.

I went there were football fans. Chelsea, Arsenal, Man United.

:02:28.:02:32.

Anyone for Tottenham Hotspur? It is scenes like this that inspired the

:02:32.:02:37.

Premier League to get involved. go to Africa and you see the

:02:37.:02:39.

passion there, they love the Premier League. It is the biggest

:02:39.:02:43.

lead in the world. It is important that it was part of it. British aid

:02:43.:02:46.

is already getting food to more than 2 million people hit by

:02:46.:02:50.

drought. It is hoped that football power will help even more.

:02:50.:02:54.

After more than a year without rain in some places, the autumn rains

:02:54.:02:58.

have arrived in the region. You can still watch Newsround's special

:02:58.:03:01.

programme, Children of the Drought, by heading to the website.

:03:01.:03:05.

Next, this volcano and the Democratic Republic of Congo in

:03:05.:03:09.

Africa has been shooting lather hundreds of metres into the sky. It

:03:09.:03:12.

is thought to be the biggest eruption for more than 100 years.

:03:12.:03:17.

It looks so amazing that Park Rangers have even set up a camps so

:03:17.:03:21.

that tourists can enjoy the fireworks from a safe distance.

:03:21.:03:25.

Two girls had a ride to remember after spending hours hanging upside

:03:25.:03:29.

down when the roller-coaster they were on got stuck. The ride came to

:03:29.:03:33.

a standstill when they were in the air at an amusement park in China.

:03:33.:03:37.

A rescue team used a ladder to get them down. Luckily, they were not

:03:37.:03:41.

hurt. Now to a discovery of fossils that

:03:41.:03:45.

have got scientists in South America in a right flap. The find

:03:45.:03:50.

of the old remains could help them find out lots about the ancient

:03:50.:03:55.

relatives of these guys, whales. Leah has been finding out why

:03:55.:03:58.

people are so excited about a load of old bones.

:03:58.:04:02.

I'll admit, it doesn't look much. But this dusty old desert on the

:04:02.:04:07.

coach -- coast of Chile is that home of a frantic race to keep an

:04:07.:04:12.

amazing discovery safe. Paley apologists, or fossil experts, have

:04:12.:04:17.

been an covering an incredible selection of fossils that they

:04:17.:04:25.

reckon is a pretty big deal. There has never been a find of this

:04:25.:04:29.

size or diversity anywhere in the world. It is one of the very

:04:30.:04:36.

special parts of the Atacama region. Whales, the giants of the ocean.

:04:36.:04:40.

And they are some of the most mysterious animals on the planet.

:04:40.:04:47.

But these aren't any old whales. They are 7 million years old. Being

:04:47.:04:51.

so old, the scientists are not sure what they could look like. We

:04:51.:04:54.

thought we would use our imagination. Maybe they had three

:04:54.:04:59.

pawns? Maybe a huge fin on their back? Or what about a massive set

:04:59.:05:03.

of teeth? Probably not! But with the discovery of these 80 fossils,

:05:03.:05:08.

some of them complete skeletons, scientists hope to find out more

:05:08.:05:12.

than they have ever known before about ancient whales. Add to that

:05:12.:05:17.

the sharks, crocodile and seal fossils that were found nearby, and

:05:17.:05:22.

that is why this record find is so interesting.

:05:22.:05:25.

If you are a Doctor Who fan, prepared to get excited. Remain is

:05:25.:05:29.

the Time Lord's adventures are going to be turned into a film. A

:05:29.:05:33.

top director has said he is working on turning the hit series into a

:05:34.:05:37.

full-length film. We might have a bit of a wait, because he reckons

:05:37.:05:41.

it will take two to three years to transform The Doctor onto the big

:05:41.:05:44.

screen. I want you to forget Strictly and

:05:44.:05:48.

the X Factor. The real talent was on show at a special competition in

:05:48.:05:52.

London last again. It was the first ever dance Proms. Press Packer

:05:52.:06:02.
:06:02.:06:07.

I am Emily and tonight I am going to be performing at the first ever

:06:07.:06:13.

Dance Proms right here at the Royal Albert Hall. The dance we are

:06:13.:06:17.

performing is called Carmen. Most of them performed on point, which

:06:17.:06:21.

is hard because you're standing on your toes the whole time. These are

:06:21.:06:24.

the point shoes, they are different from normal ballet shoes because

:06:24.:06:29.

they have a cardboard layer. They have a block at the end that

:06:29.:06:34.

supports the toes when you are on point. They are hard to break in.

:06:34.:06:38.

It's quite hard to stop yourself from getting dizzy. Dancers used a

:06:38.:06:43.

technique called spotting, way you focus your eyes on a fixed point. I

:06:43.:06:46.

keep my eyes fixed on the door frame to stop myself from getting

:06:46.:06:51.

dizzy. There are more than 400 people dancing, including the stars

:06:51.:06:55.

from Strictly. How do you cope with backstage nerves? That is a hard

:06:55.:07:01.

one! Even now, after so many years of performing, they are still there.

:07:01.:07:06.

But you need that to be a performer. It is so important to have a

:07:06.:07:10.

nervous energy before you go on. always have to make sure that we

:07:10.:07:14.

know that dance Inside Out. When you are 100% sure in what your feet,

:07:14.:07:18.

arms and legs are doing, you are halfway there. I really want to be

:07:18.:07:22.

a professional dancer. So performing with professionals from

:07:22.:07:27.

the Royal Ballet and Strictly has been a real treat.

:07:27.:07:33.

Finally, a certain dog. That always goes down well in the Newsround

:07:33.:07:38.

office. Meet Mango, a two-year-old labrador that likes to catch waves.

:07:38.:07:43.

She became a star after her owner posted a video on the internet of

:07:43.:07:48.

her learning to surf in Newquay. She might even enter a contest in

:07:48.:07:51.

the United States. That is all we have time for tonight. Head over to

:07:51.:07:55.

the website to let us know what adventures Doctor Who should get up

:07:55.:07:59.
