0:00:04 > 0:00:06Good morning, Ricky here live on CBBC.
0:00:06 > 0:00:08You're in the right place for all your top stories.
0:00:08 > 0:00:10Coming up this hour:
0:00:10 > 0:00:14The rescue dogs helping to sniff out danger,
0:00:14 > 0:00:17and turtle-cam - we take a look at the camera being used
0:00:17 > 0:00:19to help these creatures.
0:00:29 > 0:00:31People living in the north of Scotland are trying
0:00:31 > 0:00:34to rebuild their lives after massive floods devastated homes,
0:00:34 > 0:00:37businesses and schools.
0:00:37 > 0:00:39Martin has been to one of the worst-affected areas to see
0:00:39 > 0:00:43how people there are coping.
0:00:43 > 0:00:45Finally, the locals here in the small village of Braemar
0:00:45 > 0:00:49in northeast Scotland had something to cheer about.
0:00:49 > 0:00:52The Invercauld Bridge has been reopened.
0:00:52 > 0:00:55It may not seem like a big deal, but just a few weeks ago,
0:00:55 > 0:00:58everyone living here got a bit of a shock.
0:00:58 > 0:01:02December was the wettest month ever recorded in Scotland.
0:01:02 > 0:01:05Constant, heavy rain caused the River Dee to burst its banks.
0:01:05 > 0:01:09This was the damage left behind.
0:01:09 > 0:01:14These vehicles passing me right now are amongst the first to go over
0:01:14 > 0:01:15the bridge since it was closed.
0:01:15 > 0:01:18It's not a surprise that it's the people who have been
0:01:18 > 0:01:20the worst affected by the floods here.
0:01:20 > 0:01:24Before the floods we got one bus, it took an hour to get to school.
0:01:24 > 0:01:27We've had to get three buses in the morning and we've had to walk
0:01:27 > 0:01:30round instead of going over the bridge that we usually go over.
0:01:30 > 0:01:34It's kind of exciting to see the water that high,
0:01:34 > 0:01:39but after you actually realise the power of water.
0:01:39 > 0:01:43It's quite dangerous.
0:01:43 > 0:01:45While the party is well and truly underway in Braemar,
0:01:45 > 0:01:47people living in Ballater, just 16 miles down the road,
0:01:47 > 0:01:51are still living without homes.
0:01:51 > 0:01:54So is this really a time for celebration?
0:01:54 > 0:01:57Just because we're celebrating an opening of the bridge,
0:01:57 > 0:02:00doesn't mean to say we're not still working really hard to help
0:02:00 > 0:02:02people in other parts.
0:02:02 > 0:02:05There's an awful lot of work to do and we're doing it
0:02:05 > 0:02:06as quickly as we can.
0:02:06 > 0:02:10I've decided to meet some kids in the worst-hit areas to see
0:02:10 > 0:02:11how they're coping.
0:02:11 > 0:02:13I was in my bed when it happened.
0:02:13 > 0:02:16You could see down the bottom to the caravan park,
0:02:16 > 0:02:19and you could see caravans going past.
0:02:19 > 0:02:20It was quite scary.
0:02:20 > 0:02:23One of my friends lives across from the River Dee.
0:02:23 > 0:02:25His house was completely flooded and he had to get airlifted.
0:02:25 > 0:02:29Everyone has been supportive of one another, and people
0:02:29 > 0:02:32who weren't affected have given up a lot of their stuff.
0:02:32 > 0:02:37There was a big tent full of food that flood victims could just
0:02:37 > 0:02:39go and take as much as they needed.
0:02:39 > 0:02:41We went there a few times.
0:02:41 > 0:02:45People have been very helpful.
0:02:45 > 0:02:47We see a lot of people moving stuff out their houses,
0:02:47 > 0:02:49or just being helped by people.
0:02:49 > 0:02:51It's good to see people come together
0:02:51 > 0:02:54and help each other.
0:02:54 > 0:02:56To Mexico in North America, and the Colima volcano has
0:02:56 > 0:02:58erupted once again.
0:02:58 > 0:03:01Ash was thrown nearly 3000 metres into the air.
0:03:01 > 0:03:04People living nearby did not have leave their homes this time.
0:03:04 > 0:03:08It's also called the fire volcano and it's been very active
0:03:08 > 0:03:11in the past few months.
0:03:11 > 0:03:14Next up, rescue dogs are a big help to police forces around the UK.
0:03:14 > 0:03:17When a person goes missing they're a key part of the search efforts.
0:03:17 > 0:03:23Ayshah's been finding out about the important role they play.
0:03:23 > 0:03:26When someone goes missing in the UK, a whole team of people
0:03:26 > 0:03:28are standing by to help.
0:03:28 > 0:03:32Helicopters scan the ground, police officers go out on foot,
0:03:32 > 0:03:34and there's another special team to help the police.
0:03:34 > 0:03:37This team of rescue dogs in Sussex aren't
0:03:37 > 0:03:42members of the emergency services, they're just normal pooches.
0:03:42 > 0:03:45They have been specially trained to use
0:03:45 > 0:03:48their noses and instincts to find people who need help.
0:03:48 > 0:03:51The dogs and their owners are on call 24 hours a day
0:03:51 > 0:03:54to rescue anyone in trouble.
0:03:54 > 0:03:56On average, they get sent out twice a month.
0:03:56 > 0:03:59And it's not just in Sussex, there are other teams like this
0:03:59 > 0:04:01all over the UK.
0:04:01 > 0:04:04Once I put her coat on and give her the command to go find,
0:04:04 > 0:04:07she'll run off and use her nose and find
0:04:07 > 0:04:09any human scent in the area.
0:04:09 > 0:04:12Any pup can volunteer to join the team, and there are special
0:04:12 > 0:04:15beginners' training courses every year.
0:04:15 > 0:04:18The dogs are very, very good at what they do,
0:04:18 > 0:04:20they can cover the areas quickly.
0:04:20 > 0:04:23These helpful hounds are making a big difference
0:04:23 > 0:04:24in their communities.
0:04:24 > 0:04:28And have really earned their status as man's best friend.
0:04:28 > 0:04:32For the first time, conservationists in Africa have used a special
0:04:32 > 0:04:36"turtle-cam" to show the release of the animal back into the sea,
0:04:36 > 0:04:38live on the internet.
0:04:38 > 0:04:41The Local Ocean Trust in the town of Watamu in Kenya cares
0:04:41 > 0:04:45for sea turtles who have been trapped and injured in fishing nets.
0:04:45 > 0:04:49The underwater camera footage is being used to help the team see
0:04:49 > 0:04:52how well the turtles have recovered.
0:04:52 > 0:04:56Take a look at this tiny baby penguin born at a zoo in America.
0:04:56 > 0:04:59The pygmy blue penguin is only a few days old and was shown off
0:04:59 > 0:05:02at Cinicinnati Zoo in Ohio.
0:05:02 > 0:05:04The ball of brown fuzz is being cared for and fed
0:05:04 > 0:05:06by staff at the zoo.
0:05:06 > 0:05:09It's too young to know whether it's a boy or a girl.
0:05:09 > 0:05:10This is Bowie.
0:05:10 > 0:05:12Bowie is just a couple of days old.
0:05:12 > 0:05:14Just now starting to open his or her eyes -
0:05:14 > 0:05:17we don't know if it's a boy or girl yet.
0:05:17 > 0:05:19But it is a little penguin, the smallest penguin species
0:05:19 > 0:05:21on the planet.
0:05:21 > 0:05:23And we are lucky enough to have the largest
0:05:23 > 0:05:25colony in North America of these guys.
0:05:25 > 0:05:28We've been pretty lucky and doing pretty good with these guys
0:05:28 > 0:05:31as a whole, as a species.
0:05:31 > 0:05:34A group of dogs and their owners have stretched and twisted their way
0:05:34 > 0:05:36to a new world record in China.
0:05:36 > 0:05:39The 270 pets were taking part in the dog yoga,
0:05:39 > 0:05:43or "doga", session in Hong Kong, which lasted for an hour.
0:05:43 > 0:05:49The previous record was 265 dogs, set last year in San Diego, USA.
0:05:49 > 0:05:52That's all from me this morning.
0:05:52 > 0:05:56Head over to the Newsround website to see a squirrel diving into snow -
0:05:56 > 0:05:57it's really funny.
0:05:57 > 0:06:01Newsround's back this afternoon at 4:20pm with Jenny.
