Hi guys - Jenny here live with all the latest for you this Sunday,

:00:00.:00:07.

coming up: the first schoolboy to reach the

:00:08.:00:19.

South Pole answers your questions. The hero rats being trained to save

:00:20.:00:27.

lives. This is Newsround. First to the British teenager who

:00:28.:00:30.

has made history by becoming" a person to reach the South Pole.

:00:31.:00:37.

16-year-old Lewis Clarke completed his trek last night. I spoke to him

:00:38.:00:41.

on a special satellite phone to ask the questions you sent in about his

:00:42.:00:47.

adventure. Heidi, it is great to be talking to you. Emily and Lauren is

:00:48.:00:54.

how it felt to complete the track? It is fantastic. I am the youngest

:00:55.:01:08.

person to have done it. I feel so great to have been a part of it and

:01:09.:01:14.

to be the youngest is awesome. Ava and Georgia want to decide -- want

:01:15.:01:19.

to know why you decided to go there in the first place. It is just the

:01:20.:01:26.

most amazing place to be and it is such a great expedition to do. It

:01:27.:01:33.

kind of happened. Jessica asks, did you come across any polar bears and

:01:34.:01:37.

how many layers of clothes didn't have to wear? There aren't any polar

:01:38.:01:42.

bears in Antarctica only penguins and I didn't see any of those. I

:01:43.:01:47.

have about three layers of clothes and it kept me pretty one. Annie

:01:48.:01:52.

says, what was the most challenging part of the expedition? Also, what

:01:53.:02:00.

was the scariest moment of the trip? The most challenging part was going

:02:01.:02:08.

over the bumps. There are many days of bombs and it is pretty difficult

:02:09.:02:14.

to get through. The scariest, I got pretty called a couple of times. --

:02:15.:02:25.

cold. Leo wants to know how cold was it? Oscar asks, how did you cope

:02:26.:02:31.

with those freezing temperatures? It got down to about -45. We decided to

:02:32.:02:43.

call it a day and put the tent up and get warm. We had lots of layers

:02:44.:02:50.

of clothes and we kept warm by doing the exercise. What an amazing

:02:51.:02:57.

achievement. You can find out more about his cheque and hear more of

:02:58.:03:02.

his questions on the website now. There has been encouraging news for

:03:03.:03:04.

those trying to bring peace to Syria. The main group opposed to the

:03:05.:03:11.

government have agreed to peace talks. They are aimed at setting up

:03:12.:03:16.

a new government to end the war. America, Britain and France say this

:03:17.:03:20.

is important in making this happen. 100,000 people have died in three

:03:21.:03:26.

years of war in Syria. Rats are generally seen as a

:03:27.:03:29.

nuisance and one of the least popular members of the animal

:03:30.:03:32.

kingdom but now a new hero breed of the species could be about to change

:03:33.:03:38.

that. In Mozambique in Africa, they are being taught to save lives by

:03:39.:03:43.

sniffing out landmines that all buried underground.

:03:44.:03:50.

These are Gambian rats and they grow pretty big, about the size of a cat.

:03:51.:03:56.

They are sniffing out landmines which are small explosives buried in

:03:57.:04:00.

the ground. Their eyesight is not good but their sense of smell is

:04:01.:04:05.

powerful, making them perfect for the job. In Mozambique, it is very

:04:06.:04:09.

dangerous for people to live on the land which is why these rats are so

:04:10.:04:14.

important. Training starts early in the morning and every time they find

:04:15.:04:21.

a mine, they are given a reward. Many people think rats are vermin.

:04:22.:04:27.

People don't like rats very much but where we go, they are hero that's.

:04:28.:04:32.

They see what these rats do for humanity and people change their

:04:33.:04:36.

perception. They see them as intelligent and social animals. The

:04:37.:04:44.

rats are not heavy enough to set of the landmines and are not in any

:04:45.:04:48.

danger. They are given plenty of time to relax and chill out with

:04:49.:04:53.

their mates. Next to a shock in the Australian Open tennis. Number one

:04:54.:04:58.

seed Serena Williams has been knocked out by Ana Ivanovic from

:04:59.:05:04.

Serbia. Williams was on a 25 winning streak beside a back injury hindered

:05:05.:05:13.

her. She deserves all the credit. She played unbelievable today. I'm

:05:14.:05:18.

tried to fight with the best I could today Bert -- but I didn't -- I

:05:19.:05:29.

almost didn't play. I tried my best. Chelsea or hoping to Cape pace --

:05:30.:05:36.

keep pace when they play Manchester United today. Man City score their

:05:37.:05:41.

100th goal in a season in a win over Cardiff. Arsenal beat Fulham 2-0 to

:05:42.:05:46.

:05:47.:05:52.

:05:53.:06:00.
