0:00:54 > 0:00:55because of really dry weather.
0:00:55 > 0:00:58And there are worries that the same could happen this year.
0:00:58 > 0:01:00It's summer in Australia which, unfortunately, in some areas
0:01:00 > 0:01:03of the country means bushfires start easily and can get quickly
0:01:03 > 0:01:04out of control.
0:01:04 > 0:01:06However, luckily for residents in Victoria, a state
0:01:06 > 0:01:08in the South East of Australia, this fire was brought under control,
0:01:08 > 0:01:10but not before it destroyed a house.
0:01:10 > 0:01:13Residents have been told to remain close to shelter in case
0:01:13 > 0:01:16conditions change again.
0:01:16 > 0:01:19A sandstorm hit Egypt yesterday, it turned the sky yellow over
0:01:19 > 0:01:22the capital city Cairo, blotting out the sun
0:01:22 > 0:01:25and limiting visibility.
0:01:25 > 0:01:28Some of the country's major sea-ports had to be closed and some
0:01:28 > 0:01:30flights couldn't land.
0:01:30 > 0:01:33The weather is expected to improve today.
0:01:33 > 0:01:35In Mexico, in north America, one the country's tallest
0:01:35 > 0:01:38volcanoes has erupted.
0:01:38 > 0:01:41The Popocatepetl volcano threw ash and gas nearly
0:01:41 > 0:01:43two kilometres into sky.
0:01:43 > 0:01:47Those monitoring the site are warning people living nearby
0:01:47 > 0:01:50to be ready to leave because the volcano is showing
0:01:50 > 0:01:53signs of activity.
0:01:53 > 0:01:55Now if you were feeling a bit blue yesterday...
0:01:55 > 0:02:02You weren't the only one.
0:02:02 > 0:02:04Scientists say that third Monday in January is the most

0:02:06 > 0:02:13So we've been asking what makes you happy on the Newsround website.
0:02:23 > 0:02:26Thanks for sending all of those in.
0:02:26 > 0:02:29And now to these two surfers in Australia who have developed
0:02:29 > 0:02:32a new invention which is designed to collect rubbish in the oceans.
0:02:32 > 0:02:35Here's Leah with all the details.
0:02:35 > 0:02:39Rubbish in the ocean can cause real problems for sea-life.
0:02:39 > 0:02:44Eight million tonnes of plastic goes into the world's oceans every year
0:02:44 > 0:02:47and experts say it poses serious risks, especially to birds
0:02:47 > 0:02:52and animals like turtles, dolphins and whales.
0:02:52 > 0:02:55A pair of surfers from Perth, Australia, have invented a nifty
0:02:55 > 0:03:00tool which they hope might help to reduce the problem.
0:03:00 > 0:03:03Pete and Andrew have created the seabin.
0:03:03 > 0:03:08Its special design means that rubbish floating on the water
0:03:08 > 0:03:11is sucked into the bin.
0:03:11 > 0:03:14The lining inside is then lifted out and the rubbish
0:03:14 > 0:03:16disposed of properly.
0:03:16 > 0:03:19Just now the seabin is used in ports and harbours which are areas
0:03:19 > 0:03:22that the tide and winds push rubbish in to.
0:03:22 > 0:03:25The guys are hoping to raise money for the project
0:03:25 > 0:03:27online through crowd-funding.
0:03:27 > 0:03:29A process where people can give money to support things
0:03:29 > 0:03:31they are interested in.
0:03:31 > 0:03:34Good luck guys.
0:03:34 > 0:03:37To tennis now and the Australian Open is well
0:03:37 > 0:03:44underway.

0:03:46 > 0:03:47Venus Williams in straight sets.
0:03:47 > 0:03:50Andy Murray also won in straight sets against German teenager
0:03:50 > 0:03:51Alexander Zverev.
0:03:51 > 0:03:54He'll now face Australian Sam Groth, holder of the game's
0:03:54 > 0:03:57fastest serve, on Thursday.
0:03:57 > 0:03:59To football now and Swansea are back to winning ways and out

0:04:03 > 0:04:13Defender Ashley Williams scored with a header.
0:04:15 > 0:04:17The Swans' new manager Francesco Guidolin watched
0:04:17 > 0:04:17on from the stands.
0:04:17 > 0:04:19Obviously, he is coming into a strange environment,
0:04:19 > 0:04:22he is coming to a strange club where he is probably not
0:04:22 > 0:04:24going to know a huge amount of the players.
0:04:24 > 0:04:27He will have first hand knowledge of them tonight,
0:04:27 > 0:04:28but hopefully you can give him whatever.
0:04:28 > 0:04:31Not just the players who play today but the rest
0:04:31 > 0:04:34of the players in the squad as well and what they can offer.
0:04:34 > 0:04:36I think we are all looking forward to working
0:04:36 > 0:04:40with him and we are looking forward now to a positive end to the season.
0:04:40 > 0:04:42In Peru in South America they've come up with an interesting way
0:04:42 > 0:04:44of catching people who dump rubbish.
0:04:44 > 0:04:51They've trained ten vultures to monitor the skies
0:04:51 > 0:04:52above the capital city, Lima.
0:04:52 > 0:04:55They're wearing cameras fitted with tracking systems to try to help
0:04:55 > 0:04:57authorities find out who is leaving rubbish in places they're
0:04:57 > 0:04:58not supposed to.
0:04:58 > 0:05:02That's all from me for now - do join us at 8.15 when we'll be
