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. | |
