:00:22. > :00:26.Evening news fans! You're with Ore and Ricky for tonight's Newsround.
:00:26. > :00:30.Plenty on the way, including all this. We meet the woman who's spent
:00:30. > :00:34.her life caring for baby elephants. Plus, did you see it? The longest
:00:34. > :00:37.lunar eclipse for more than 10 years. First tonight, the story of
:00:37. > :00:39.the stray dog in Afghanistan and the soldier who promised to bring
:00:39. > :00:42.her back to Britain. But sadly, Private Conrad Lewis was killed
:00:42. > :00:48.before he could carry out his wish. Now though, an animal charity's
:00:48. > :00:52.worked with his family to help get Peg out of harm's way. Private
:00:52. > :00:56.Conrad Lewis arrived in Afghanistan last September. He was sent to one
:00:56. > :00:59.of the most dangerous parts of the country. As well as helping the
:00:59. > :01:03.locals, he also made friends with a three-year-old stray mongrel,
:01:03. > :01:08.Pegasus. Pegasus settled into army life, keeping the soldiers company
:01:08. > :01:11.and even joining them on patrols. There are loads of stray dogs in
:01:11. > :01:21.Afghanistan and the risk of them stepping on, and being killed by
:01:21. > :01:21.
:01:21. > :01:25.hidden explosives is high. really loved the dog. He has
:01:26. > :01:30.written about her in his letters. When he came on leave, he said he
:01:30. > :01:34.would have liked to have brought her back. But in February, Private
:01:34. > :01:37.Lewis was shot and killed while on patrol. His dad said Peg meant so
:01:37. > :01:44.much to his son that they wanted to keep his promise of looking after
:01:44. > :01:48.her. Peg was there from the day that they arrived at the checkpoint.
:01:48. > :01:57.She stayed with him and gave him comfort. She is our link to him.
:01:57. > :02:07.She was with him throughout that period. With the help of the Nozad
:02:07. > :02:08.
:02:08. > :02:10.animal charity, Peg has made it the -- to the UK. She's got to stay in
:02:10. > :02:13.quarantine until November, but Peg's new family visit her whenever
:02:13. > :02:17.they can and they're looking forward to taking her home. We want
:02:17. > :02:23.to take her home, but it will be worth it. You think of the life she
:02:23. > :02:28.could have had and the life she will have from now on. She will be
:02:28. > :02:31.well loved. Well it looks like Prince Harry could be sent out to
:02:31. > :02:36.Afghanistan to help fight in the war there. It's being reported he
:02:36. > :02:42.could be deployed as an Apache helicopter pilot. And it wouldn't
:02:42. > :02:45.be his first trip. Three years ago, Harry spent 10 weeks in the country,
:02:45. > :02:49.directing fighter jets on where to drop bombs. It was meant to be top
:02:49. > :02:52.secret to protect him and the troops around him. So the news got
:02:52. > :02:55.out and he had to be brought home earlier than planned. Since then,
:02:55. > :02:58.Harry's done loads of work to help soldiers who've been injured
:02:58. > :03:01.fighting including joining a team of wounded servicemen on a trek to
:03:01. > :03:08.the North Pole. Back in 2008, he said he'd love to return to
:03:08. > :03:14.Afghanistan. It was something that I loved to do. I got into it.
:03:14. > :03:17.you join the army, you expect to go on operations. Next to extreme
:03:17. > :03:20.floods that have swamped the north coast of Australia. At least 3,000
:03:20. > :03:22.people have been forced to leave their homes after days of heavy
:03:22. > :03:25.rain. Others have been left stranded. Lots of animals have been
:03:25. > :03:28.trapped in the waters too and emergency services have been sent
:03:28. > :03:36.in to feed them. Rivers reached their highest level for 30 years
:03:36. > :03:43.but at the moment it looks like the worst is over. We have about 250
:03:43. > :03:49.kilometres under water at this time. We have sent a request to get feed
:03:49. > :03:55.for the livestock, but the waters are still running. Now, where is
:03:55. > :04:03.Leah? Her Wild Five was big time. We are to speak about endangered
:04:03. > :04:13.animals. 19 species of am fibbians have been added to the at-risk list.
:04:13. > :04:22.
:04:22. > :04:28.Like this har Quinn frog from Peru. The Siau tarsier. And this oryx
:04:28. > :04:34.which its numbers are now going back up as it's been introduced to
:04:35. > :04:44.the wild. Now, it is time to meet a woman who has spent her life
:04:45. > :04:49.
:04:49. > :04:52.looking after animals. Th the new film is "Born To Be Wild". I am Dr
:04:52. > :05:00.Daphne from Kenya. I've been working with elephants and other
:05:00. > :05:07.animals for the last 50 years. For a baby elephant, the worst thing in
:05:07. > :05:11.the world is losing its mother and family. The elephants become
:05:11. > :05:15.offeraned through human problems. The poaching as there is demand for
:05:16. > :05:20.the tusks. We have to understand that the elephants are a very human
:05:20. > :05:27.animal. They have a family, they love them like we do. They are
:05:27. > :05:32.fragile, they get sun burnt easily. They have terrible ear damage. So
:05:32. > :05:37.it entails umbrellas and sun block on the ears and you have to replace
:05:37. > :05:42.the elephant family with a human family. They are with them every
:05:42. > :05:47.night for three years. Sleeping with them and feeding them every
:05:47. > :05:52.hour. The baby elephants must be fond of the keepers and the keepest
:05:52. > :05:58.must be fond of the elephants. The hardest thing is when they don't
:05:58. > :06:01.live and they die. After you have known that animal and been with it
:06:01. > :06:06.every day and night for ten years, and then it dies that is difficult
:06:06. > :06:16.to cope with. They can understand and feel what you think about them.
:06:16. > :06:26.
:06:26. > :06:30.They can read your heart. That is the easiest way to say it. If you
:06:30. > :06:33.stayed up last night you might have caught a glimpse of a rare lunar
:06:33. > :06:36.eclipse. It happens when the moon passes behind the Earth so it
:06:36. > :06:39.blocks out the sun's rays. It was the longest full eclipse in nearly
:06:39. > :06:43.11 years and lasted for well over an hour. The sky was clear for
:06:43. > :06:45.millions of people around the world. Here is what is looked like above
:06:45. > :06:48.Moscow in Russia where the eclipse made the moon glow. Most
:06:48. > :06:55.spectacular was the view in Australia and China. Here the ash
:06:55. > :06:58.from the Chilean volcano made it look red. So that's what you could
:06:58. > :07:02.see by gazing up in the sky but have a look at this amazing view
:07:02. > :07:04.looking down on Britain from space. This was taken by an astronaut on
:07:04. > :07:14.the International Space Station. You can see major cities including
:07:14. > :07:14.
:07:14. > :07:19.London, Birmingham and Manchester all lit up at night. Last up, my
:07:19. > :07:23.nomination for the bravested to letter on the planet. The hungry
:07:23. > :07:27.lion thought thised to letter looked like a tasty treat. If I
:07:27. > :07:32.were a little boy, I would be terrified, but this little boy was
:07:32. > :07:41.not bothered at all. He said it was really great fun. He loves the lion.
:07:41. > :07:49.Now, there is only one person that is braver than thated to letter.
