Hi there, I'm Jenny and you're live with Newsround and our last bulletin

:00:00.:00:09.

this Saturday. Here's what we've got coming up.

:00:10.:00:14.

Batman crazy! San Francisco is turned into Gotham City for the day.

:00:15.:00:18.

And we've got some exciting news about X Factor and Britain's Got

:00:19.:00:29.

Talent. We're talking about the endangered

:00:30.:00:33.

animals people are trying to bring into the country in suitcases. Hippo

:00:34.:00:35.

teeth, walrus horns, tortoises, eight live big cats, are just some

:00:36.:00:38.

of the rare animal products confiscated by the UK Border Force,

:00:39.:00:41.

who have seized more endangered animal items in the last year than

:00:42.:00:49.

in any other year. Take a look. Not quite what you would expect to

:00:50.:00:53.

find in a suitcase. Stuffed and even live animals, some of these things

:00:54.:00:57.

people try to bring back from holiday. Others were ordered and

:00:58.:01:01.

bought as part of illegal trade. UK Border Force stopped a haul of

:01:02.:01:07.

endangered animals coming into the country last year. On the list were

:01:08.:01:14.

93 live animals, including big cats. A dead alligator's head and a dead

:01:15.:01:17.

snake in a bottle of alcohol were found. Ivory and medicines made out

:01:18.:01:22.

of rare species were seized. It is from the traditional Chinese

:01:23.:01:27.

medicine we used to see, now we are seeing New Age beauty products,

:01:28.:01:33.

slimming pills that are having endangered species within the

:01:34.:01:37.

ingredients. While some animals can be imported, it is illegal to bring

:01:38.:01:42.

lots of these into the UK. Wildlife officials are worried that as the

:01:43.:01:45.

economy picks up and people have more money to spend, the problem is

:01:46.:01:52.

only going to get worse. The UK is giving an extra ?30

:01:53.:01:55.

million to help people in the Philippines after the devastation

:01:56.:01:58.

caused by Typhoon Haiyan. This brings the total pledged by the

:01:59.:02:01.

British government to around 50 million. We've just heard reports

:02:02.:02:04.

that the first UK government aid flight has landed in the country.

:02:05.:02:07.

The United Nations says around half a million people in the Philippines

:02:08.:02:13.

are still without food and shelter. Now you all know it was BBC's

:02:14.:02:17.

Children In Need last night and it was a record breaking one. The final

:02:18.:02:21.

amount raising more than ?31 million for charities around the UK. Loads

:02:22.:02:25.

of different celebs took part, including the cast of the musical

:02:26.:02:27.

Matilda. Dancing On Ice's Torville and Dean swapped their skates for a

:02:28.:02:31.

bit of strictly Come Dancing and there was a sneak preview of Dr

:02:32.:02:34.

Who's 50th anniversary show, and the world's biggest boy band, One

:02:35.:02:37.

Direction, took to the Children In Need stage.

:02:38.:02:39.

Loads of you have been in contact online about your Children In Need

:02:40.:02:41.

highlights. Next, for hundreds of years the

:02:42.:03:09.

hills in Dartmoor have had a pretty unusual feature - thousands of

:03:10.:03:11.

ponies roaming the land. Next, if you're a fan of X Factor or

:03:12.:03:22.

Britain's Got Talent then you'll pretty happy to hear that the shows

:03:23.:03:26.

will be on our screens for at least another three years. Simon Cowell,

:03:27.:03:29.

who's the boss of the company that makes the shows, has agreed a new

:03:30.:03:33.

deal with ITV but he hasn't said whether he will return to the show

:03:34.:03:37.

as a judge. Head judge, Gary Barlow, says this will be his last year on

:03:38.:03:41.

the show whilst Louis can't seem to make his mind up.

:03:42.:03:45.

Next, if you're a fan of X Factor or Britain's Got Talent then you'll

:03:46.:03:48.

pretty happy to hear that the shows will be on our screens for at least

:03:49.:03:51.

another three years. Simon Cowell, who's the boss of the company that

:03:52.:03:55.

:03:56.:03:59.

make his mind up. Next his new book, Demon Dentist, is

:04:07.:04:10.

bound to be on Christmas lists and his hit tale Gangsta Granny is being

:04:11.:04:14.

turned in to a film. We grabbed author and comedian David Walliams

:04:15.:04:17.

off the set of a Gangsta Christmas special to answer your story telling

:04:18.:04:19.

questions. My ins oration was that when I was a

:04:20.:04:22.

kid, eight, 910 and my grandmas were in the late 60s and 70s, I thought

:04:23.:04:25.

they may be a bit boring. I never thought they would have had an

:04:26.:04:28.

interesting and exciting life. That was the integration for the story.

:04:29.:04:29.

Don't think people are boring because they are old. If you ask

:04:30.:04:33.

your grandparents stories, they will have great ones to tell. That was

:04:34.:04:36.

not the question I was expecting. I suppose I would call the book The

:04:37.:04:38.

Odd Sock. You are getting started on a story is hard. A blank page is

:04:39.:04:43.

very scary. But I think we can all write stories because we all have

:04:44.:04:51.

dreams and wake up in the morning. If you can dream, you can dream up

:04:52.:04:59.

things in your mind. It is a hard one. I think it would be annoying if

:05:00.:05:07.

someone tried to be funny all it is quite wearing. I have lots of

:05:08.:05:10.

friends who are comedians. I can think of one person who I will not

:05:11.:05:15.

name, who can be annoying just because he is cracking jokes all the

:05:16.:05:22.

time. It does get tiring. Bit of sport now and Indi I think it would

:05:23.:05:27.

be annoying if someone tried to be funny all of the time.an cricket

:05:28.:05:29.

legend, Sachin Tendulkar, had tears in his eyes as he officially retired

:05:30.:05:33.

from the game after 24 years. The batsman, who's an international

:05:34.:05:36.

icon, helped his side beat the West Indies in his final 200th Test

:05:37.:05:40.

match. He thanked the crowd and his family, especially his sister, who

:05:41.:05:43.

gave him his very first cricket bat. That's it. Last up here's a Batman

:05:44.:05:50.

mad boy who turned San Francisco into Gotham City for a day.

:05:51.:05:53.

Thousands of people turned up as Batman extras for five-year-old

:05:54.:05:56.

Miles Scott, a super fan who's recovering from the disease

:05:57.:05:58.

leukaemia. Bat-tastic!
