0:00:05 > 0:00:07Morning, I'm Leah and this is Newsround.
0:00:07 > 0:00:10Coming up this Thursday morning:
0:00:10 > 0:00:12Getting ready for their close-ups.
0:00:12 > 0:00:16The school for wannabe vloggers.
0:00:16 > 0:00:20Heartbreak for the snail who was trying to find love.
0:00:20 > 0:00:22And ramping up the cuteness, why these ducklings
0:00:22 > 0:00:31are getting a helping hand.
0:00:31 > 0:00:34First up, to the biggest and most powerful wind
0:00:34 > 0:00:36turbines on the planet, which have just been
0:00:36 > 0:00:39opened in Liverpool Bay.
0:00:39 > 0:00:41They're taller than two Big Ben towers.
0:00:41 > 0:00:46Their blades are as long as a queue of nine double-decker buses.
0:00:46 > 0:00:52And there are 32 of them, ready to go in Liverpool Bay.
0:00:52 > 0:00:55This wind farm, called Berbo Bank Extension,
0:00:55 > 0:00:58covers 40 square kilometres in the Irish Sea, 12 kilometres off
0:00:58 > 0:01:01the coast of Liverpool.
0:01:01 > 0:01:04Wind turbines are hardly new, you can see them in a lot
0:01:04 > 0:01:07of places in the UK, inland and out at sea,
0:01:07 > 0:01:11turning in the wind to make energy.
0:01:11 > 0:01:14But this is the first place in the world where turbines this
0:01:14 > 0:01:15big have been built.
0:01:15 > 0:01:19Being so big makes these turbines really powerful.
0:01:19 > 0:01:25Every time these blades make a full circle, they make enough electricity
0:01:25 > 0:01:27to run a whole UK home for more than a day.
0:01:27 > 0:01:30Altogether, the turbines at Berbo Bank Extension are expected
0:01:30 > 0:01:34to be able to power more than 230,000 homes, more than enough
0:01:34 > 0:01:37for the city of Liverpool.
0:01:37 > 0:01:43And we might see more mega farms like these in the future.
0:01:43 > 0:01:47Next, almost 2,000 different species of plants have been discovered
0:01:47 > 0:01:51in the past year but many are already at risk of dying out.
0:01:51 > 0:01:55The Royal Botanic Gardens at Kew in London released a survey looking
0:01:55 > 0:01:59at the state of the world's plants and is calling for more to be
0:01:59 > 0:02:00done to protect them.
0:02:00 > 0:02:02They include plants that could be used for food and medicine.
0:02:02 > 0:02:07OK, time for a quick look at today's top sport stories.
0:02:07 > 0:02:10Huddersfield are just one more game away from Premier League football
0:02:10 > 0:02:13after goalkeeper Danny Ward saved two penalties to send them
0:02:13 > 0:02:17to the Championship playoff final.
0:02:17 > 0:02:21They beat Sheffield Wednesday 4-3 in the shoot-out to reach Wembley
0:02:21 > 0:02:23where they'll play Reading.
0:02:23 > 0:02:26Sergio Romero made a series of brilliant saves as Southampton
0:02:26 > 0:02:29and Manchester United played out a goalless draw at St Mary's.
0:02:29 > 0:02:32Anthony Martial then went on to hit the post from 25 yards.
0:02:32 > 0:02:36United are guaranteed a sixth-place finish.
0:02:36 > 0:02:38But Jose Mourinho says his team can finally focus
0:02:38 > 0:02:40on the Europa League final now.
0:02:40 > 0:02:45We managed to play these three matches, Arsenal, Tottenham and
0:02:45 > 0:02:51Southampton, all of them away, all of them difficult, all of them
0:02:51 > 0:02:52with a brain in the final.
0:02:52 > 0:02:55We managed to play professionally and
0:02:55 > 0:03:03to play well and to give proper football matches to our opponents.
0:03:03 > 0:03:06And in the women's game, Chelsea and Arsenal both scored
0:03:06 > 0:03:08in stoppage time to draw 2-2 in the Super League
0:03:08 > 0:03:10One Spring Series.
0:03:10 > 0:03:16Elsewhere leaders Liverpool beat Sunderland to move six points clear.
0:03:16 > 0:03:19Next, have you ever wondered what it takes to be a vlogger?
0:03:19 > 0:03:22Well, a new school in Exeter in the south east of England
0:03:22 > 0:03:24promises to teach kids the tricks of the trade.
0:03:24 > 0:03:27Whitney went to check it out.
0:03:27 > 0:03:31Putting myself in that selfie mode, of course, I'm very excited today.
0:03:31 > 0:03:34I'm at the UK's first vlogging school and I'm going to learn a few
0:03:34 > 0:03:36things from these guys.
0:03:36 > 0:03:39From gaming to make-up, to virtual reality and more, these
0:03:39 > 0:03:43vloggers love to try new things.
0:03:43 > 0:03:47Meet these three students who are passionate about vlogging.
0:03:47 > 0:03:50Everyone has a talent, and I guess people here,
0:03:50 > 0:03:55vlogging and YouTubing is our special talent.
0:03:55 > 0:03:58You can collab with other people also doing it.
0:03:58 > 0:04:00There's studios and in the studios it's all quiet
0:04:00 > 0:04:01and they have all the equipment.
0:04:01 > 0:04:07I've learnt how to set up the lights, the cameras
0:04:07 > 0:04:10and the audio, how to add animations over the top, how to add pictures.
0:04:10 > 0:04:12But do you need a fancy school, high tech equipment
0:04:12 > 0:04:14and professional studios?
0:04:14 > 0:04:17Can't you just do it yourself?
0:04:17 > 0:04:20If you really want to be a vlogger, you want to be a YouTuber,
0:04:20 > 0:04:21you've just got to try.
0:04:21 > 0:04:24Use the equipment you've got, start with your phone, be confident,
0:04:24 > 0:04:27plan what you're going to do, and just work at it.
0:04:27 > 0:04:29It's hard work but stick to it and keep trying.
0:04:29 > 0:04:31So how do you become an amazing vlogger?
0:04:31 > 0:04:36These three guys will give you their top tips.
0:04:36 > 0:04:38For a video, we practice the video over and over again.
0:04:38 > 0:04:42We do a few takes, we don't just do one because if you make
0:04:42 > 0:04:45a mistake and you carry on it won't be as good.
0:04:45 > 0:04:47I say some random things as a sound test.
0:04:47 > 0:04:51I record five of each thing.
0:04:51 > 0:04:55Then I go through them and pick the best two and disqualify the one
0:04:55 > 0:04:56that's not the greatest.
0:04:56 > 0:04:57Wow, what a day!
0:04:57 > 0:04:59I think I've definitely learnt a lot from these vloggers.
0:04:59 > 0:05:03I think I'm going to be sticking around to find out a bit more.
0:05:03 > 0:05:06What do you think, Whitney?
0:05:06 > 0:05:12Whitney?!
0:05:12 > 0:05:15Life can be tough when you're small.
0:05:15 > 0:05:19But luckily for these tiny ducklings, two new ramps have been
0:05:19 > 0:05:22installed to help them get into a pond in Washington
0:05:22 > 0:05:25DC in the US.
0:05:25 > 0:05:28You might remember we told you the story of Jeremy the snail
0:05:28 > 0:05:32who was looking for love.
0:05:32 > 0:05:35He was finding it hard to find a mate because the spiral
0:05:35 > 0:05:38on his shell coils to the left, rather than to the right,
0:05:38 > 0:05:39like most other snails.
0:05:39 > 0:05:41Well, against the odds, two leftie snails were found
0:05:41 > 0:05:42as possible mates for Jeremy.
0:05:42 > 0:05:44But it wasn't meant to be.
0:05:44 > 0:05:48The other leftie snails mated with each other instead,
0:05:48 > 0:05:50and had 170 babies.
0:05:50 > 0:05:54You hang on in there, Jeremy!
0:05:54 > 0:05:55That's all from me.
0:05:55 > 0:05:59Newsround's back with Jenny at 4:20pm.
