:00:10. > :00:14.Hi, guys. Ayshah here with the latest on this spewing volcano on
:00:15. > :00:17.the way. Plus: The ten-year-old shopper who's forced a big firm into
:00:18. > :00:21.some speedy changes. This is Newsround.
:00:22. > :00:24.Exciting space news first. A new planet's been discovered that
:00:25. > :00:26.scientists say is the most Earth-like one ever found. Watch
:00:27. > :00:30.this. 500 light years from our world - an
:00:31. > :00:33.Earth like planet that scientists think might have the right
:00:34. > :00:36.conditions to support life. It's called Kepler-186f and this is a
:00:37. > :00:40.computer generated image of what it could look like. Because it's so far
:00:41. > :00:48.away we don't know how accurate the image is, but the planet's discovery
:00:49. > :00:51.is still a pretty big deal. We've found what are called super earths
:00:52. > :01:01.planets that are much bigger than our planet is in a habitable zone.
:01:02. > :01:04.But this is the first time we have found a planet that is so close to
:01:05. > :01:09.the size of Earth and that means a lot. The comparisons with Earth are
:01:10. > :01:13.being made because Nasa say the planet has the potential to hold
:01:14. > :01:16.water - meaning there is an area on the surface where life could
:01:17. > :01:19.survive. But there are also some big differences. Kepler-186f orbits a
:01:20. > :01:23.star that is cooler and dimmer than the sun. So while we may have found
:01:24. > :01:26.a planet that's the same size as earth and receives a similar amount
:01:27. > :01:30.of energy to what Earth receives it orbits a very different star so
:01:31. > :01:35.perhaps instead of an earth twin, we have discovered an Earth cousin. The
:01:36. > :01:39.problem is that at trillions of miles away it's currently impossible
:01:40. > :01:44.to get any nearer to find out more. It may be pretty similar but for now
:01:45. > :01:48.it's a very distant relative. Next to the Volcano that's starting
:01:49. > :01:51.to rumble. Mount Oobeenas has started to spew out smoke and ash in
:01:52. > :01:55.Peru in South America. 4,000 people who live nearby have been told to
:01:56. > :02:02.leave their homes as a precaution. It's last big eruption was in 2006.
:02:03. > :02:06.Meanwhile in New Zealand a tropical storm's cut off power and even
:02:07. > :02:09.pulled giant trees out of the ground. Parts of the country's been
:02:10. > :02:20.hit by rainfall and gales left over from a cyclone. This tree was filmed
:02:21. > :02:24.topling in the city of Nelson. Next, we are getting behind the
:02:25. > :02:28.recent rumours that giant rats are starting to take over our towns. Are
:02:29. > :02:36.they really getting bigger and bigger? Rummaging in bins. Now,
:02:37. > :02:42.there are reports that the scavengers up on the increase in
:02:43. > :02:45.number and size. There are an estimated 10.5 million rats in the
:02:46. > :02:52.UK and it is the job of pest controllers to catch them. For the
:02:53. > :02:57.last nine to 12 months, the rats are definitely getting bigger. Everybody
:02:58. > :03:03.in the industry I have spoken to has reported the same. There is a
:03:04. > :03:07.growing problem of rats here. White-macro why are they getting
:03:08. > :03:13.bigger? Your macro it could be more people living in our cities. , the
:03:14. > :03:26.wet winter, the floods that we have had. How did they affected? The
:03:27. > :03:32.storms and the rivers affected. The rats move into the cities and don't
:03:33. > :03:39.want to go back and they have loads of food. Art that's getting bigger?
:03:40. > :03:46.What makes an animal change shape? It depends on what is around it. If
:03:47. > :03:53.there could well be rats that grow to be much bigger. I don't think
:03:54. > :03:59.they have evolved yet to become bigger on average. They haven't
:04:00. > :04:06.really changed from the rats of 100 years ago or a thousand years ago.
:04:07. > :04:10.They are simply very well fed rats. Rat catchers like Sean are calling
:04:11. > :04:14.on the government to allow the use of stronger poisons. Until then, it
:04:15. > :04:21.looks like they are in for a busy summer. If you ever get annoyed at
:04:22. > :04:28.people walking too slowly in front of you, take a leaf out of this
:04:29. > :04:32.girl's book. She wrote to the bosses of a shopping centre, suggesting
:04:33. > :04:38.they adopt a slow lane fast lane system and have introduced it. Our
:04:39. > :04:43.reporter spoke to her and found out what shoppers thought. If you are
:04:44. > :05:01.stuck behind slow person, it is annoying. Who do you think might use
:05:02. > :05:03.the slow lane? People with buggies. And older people.
