:00:00. > :00:07.Hi guys - Jenny here live with all the latest for you this Sunday,
:00:08. > :00:19.coming up: the first schoolboy to reach the
:00:20. > :00:27.South Pole answers your questions. The hero rats being trained to save
:00:28. > :00:30.lives. This is Newsround. First to the British teenager who
:00:31. > :00:37.has made history by becoming" a person to reach the South Pole.
:00:38. > :00:41.16-year-old Lewis Clarke completed his trek last night. I spoke to him
:00:42. > :00:47.on a special satellite phone to ask the questions you sent in about his
:00:48. > :00:54.adventure. Heidi, it is great to be talking to you. Emily and Lauren is
:00:55. > :01:08.how it felt to complete the track? It is fantastic. I am the youngest
:01:09. > :01:14.person to have done it. I feel so great to have been a part of it and
:01:15. > :01:19.to be the youngest is awesome. Ava and Georgia want to decide -- want
:01:20. > :01:26.to know why you decided to go there in the first place. It is just the
:01:27. > :01:33.most amazing place to be and it is such a great expedition to do. It
:01:34. > :01:37.kind of happened. Jessica asks, did you come across any polar bears and
:01:38. > :01:42.how many layers of clothes didn't have to wear? There aren't any polar
:01:43. > :01:47.bears in Antarctica only penguins and I didn't see any of those. I
:01:48. > :01:52.have about three layers of clothes and it kept me pretty one. Annie
:01:53. > :02:00.says, what was the most challenging part of the expedition? Also, what
:02:01. > :02:08.was the scariest moment of the trip? The most challenging part was going
:02:09. > :02:14.over the bumps. There are many days of bombs and it is pretty difficult
:02:15. > :02:25.to get through. The scariest, I got pretty called a couple of times. --
:02:26. > :02:31.cold. Leo wants to know how cold was it? Oscar asks, how did you cope
:02:32. > :02:43.with those freezing temperatures? It got down to about -45. We decided to
:02:44. > :02:50.call it a day and put the tent up and get warm. We had lots of layers
:02:51. > :02:57.of clothes and we kept warm by doing the exercise. What an amazing
:02:58. > :03:02.achievement. You can find out more about his cheque and hear more of
:03:03. > :03:04.his questions on the website now. There has been encouraging news for
:03:05. > :03:11.those trying to bring peace to Syria. The main group opposed to the
:03:12. > :03:16.government have agreed to peace talks. They are aimed at setting up
:03:17. > :03:20.a new government to end the war. America, Britain and France say this
:03:21. > :03:26.is important in making this happen. 100,000 people have died in three
:03:27. > :03:29.years of war in Syria. Rats are generally seen as a
:03:30. > :03:32.nuisance and one of the least popular members of the animal
:03:33. > :03:38.kingdom but now a new hero breed of the species could be about to change
:03:39. > :03:43.that. In Mozambique in Africa, they are being taught to save lives by
:03:44. > :03:50.sniffing out landmines that all buried underground.
:03:51. > :03:56.These are Gambian rats and they grow pretty big, about the size of a cat.
:03:57. > :04:00.They are sniffing out landmines which are small explosives buried in
:04:01. > :04:05.the ground. Their eyesight is not good but their sense of smell is
:04:06. > :04:09.powerful, making them perfect for the job. In Mozambique, it is very
:04:10. > :04:14.dangerous for people to live on the land which is why these rats are so
:04:15. > :04:21.important. Training starts early in the morning and every time they find
:04:22. > :04:27.a mine, they are given a reward. Many people think rats are vermin.
:04:28. > :04:32.People don't like rats very much but where we go, they are hero that's.
:04:33. > :04:36.They see what these rats do for humanity and people change their
:04:37. > :04:44.perception. They see them as intelligent and social animals. The
:04:45. > :04:48.rats are not heavy enough to set of the landmines and are not in any
:04:49. > :04:53.danger. They are given plenty of time to relax and chill out with
:04:54. > :04:58.their mates. Next to a shock in the Australian Open tennis. Number one
:04:59. > :05:04.seed Serena Williams has been knocked out by Ana Ivanovic from
:05:05. > :05:13.Serbia. Williams was on a 25 winning streak beside a back injury hindered
:05:14. > :05:18.her. She deserves all the credit. She played unbelievable today. I'm
:05:19. > :05:29.tried to fight with the best I could today Bert -- but I didn't -- I
:05:30. > :05:36.almost didn't play. I tried my best. Chelsea or hoping to Cape pace --
:05:37. > :05:41.keep pace when they play Manchester United today. Man City score their
:05:42. > :05:46.100th goal in a season in a win over Cardiff. Arsenal beat Fulham 2-0 to
:05:47. > :05:52.stay in the top spot. Yesterday was a big day for Bao Bao
:05:53. > :06:00.the panda cub. He was shown off to the public for the first time at a
:06:01. > :06:16.zoo in America. Newsround is back at 1:55pm.
