Hello, Newsrounders, and welcome to your Sunday fix of the the news.

:00:00.:00:00.

Why animal rights groups say plans to make killer whale tanks

:00:00.:00:10.

Plus, we've got part two of our must-see

:00:11.:00:15.

But first, imagine having to leave your toys, your clothes and your

:00:16.:00:27.

other belongings behind and run away from your house just to stay safe.

:00:28.:00:31.

That's what's happening to hundreds and thousands of kids in the

:00:32.:00:35.

Middle Eastern country of Iraq at the moment.

:00:36.:00:38.

More than a million Iraqis have been forced to run away

:00:39.:00:41.

from a radical Islamic group called IS and many of them are reliant

:00:42.:00:44.

on the help and supplies being sent from Britain and other countries.

:00:45.:00:53.

It is hot here in this province of Iraq, and refugees have been waiting

:00:54.:01:01.

for days for aid. Many unfinished building sites have become temporary

:01:02.:01:04.

homes for families and children. In the past ten days, 80,000 people

:01:05.:01:09.

have fled the northern cities of Iraq to come here. They are mostly

:01:10.:01:14.

people from an ancient religion called Yazidi. They are running from

:01:15.:01:18.

the radical Islamic group called IS, who threatened to harm them. The

:01:19.:01:22.

children in these camps, go to school, and are a long way from

:01:23.:01:26.

their homes. They are eager to access the food and sometimes ties

:01:27.:01:29.

they are receiving from places like Britain. Xbox, PlayStation... While

:01:30.:01:39.

they may not be receiving a games consoles, UN officials are doing

:01:40.:01:44.

what they can to help. In my opinion, this is one of the largest

:01:45.:01:48.

humanitarian responses of the last 50 years in a country that is not a

:01:49.:01:53.

country, in areas that are not secured, and in areas where things

:01:54.:01:59.

change very, very quickly. We need more international partners,

:02:00.:02:03.

governments stepping forward, and multiplying camps for distribution,

:02:04.:02:07.

water distribution, to a level of dignity that the United Nations

:02:08.:02:11.

aspires to. Although fighting continues in northern Iraq, for now,

:02:12.:02:15.

the children here are safe, and they are getting food, water and toys.

:02:16.:02:18.

And there's more information on what's going on in Iraq

:02:19.:02:21.

on our special guide on the Newsround website.

:02:22.:02:23.

Next, the American theme park SeaWorld has announced it will build

:02:24.:02:25.

Animal rights groups have criticised the park for their treatment

:02:26.:02:29.

of the animals and the conditions they're kept in.

:02:30.:02:32.

Some groups want all of SeaWorld's sea life to be released back

:02:33.:02:35.

But SeaWorld say they're expanding the tanks at all their parks to

:02:36.:02:41.

improve visitor experience and not in response to the criticism.

:02:42.:02:47.

Sport, and England's women's rugby team are hoping it'll be fourth time

:02:48.:02:50.

lucky today as they go for World Cup glory.

:02:51.:02:53.

They take on Canada in the final in Paris later,

:02:54.:02:56.

having lost the previous three finals to New Zealand.

:02:57.:02:59.

They beat Ireland convincingly in the semi finals and captain Katy

:03:00.:03:03.

McClean says they've learned the lessons from those past defeats.

:03:04.:03:13.

World Cup finals, I think they are sometimes decided in the first ten

:03:14.:03:18.

or 15 minutes in terms of the dominance of the side. We learned

:03:19.:03:23.

that in 2010. That, for me, will be a massive focus, getting a good

:03:24.:03:26.

start and making sure we are in the game.

:03:27.:03:27.
