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