It's Tuesday the 19th of January, Ricky here with this | 0:00:04 | 0:00:07 | |
morning's top stories. | 0:00:07 | 0:00:09 | |
Stay tuned to see how these vultures are being used to clean up | 0:00:09 | 0:00:12 | |
the streets of Peru. | 0:00:12 | 0:00:15 | |
And the floating bin that sucks up rubbish from the sea. | 0:00:15 | 0:00:18 | |
This is Newsround. | 0:00:18 | 0:00:28 | |
First this morning to Southern Africa where there are worries | 0:00:33 | 0:00:43 | |
about 14 million people could go hungry | 0:00:44 | 0:00:46 | |
because of a drought. | 0:00:46 | 0:00:47 | |
The United Nations world food programme says that with little | 0:00:47 | 0:00:49 | |
or no rain expected things could could get even worse. | 0:00:49 | 0:00:52 | |
Problems have been caused by a poor harvest last year | 0:00:52 | 0:00:54 | |
because of really dry weather. | 0:00:54 | 0:00:55 | |
And there are worries that the same could happen this year. | 0:00:55 | 0:00:58 | |
It's summer in Australia which, unfortunately, in some areas | 0:00:58 | 0:01:00 | |
of the country means bushfires start easily and can get quickly | 0:01:00 | 0:01:03 | |
out of control. | 0:01:03 | 0:01:04 | |
However, luckily for residents in Victoria, a state | 0:01:04 | 0:01:06 | |
in the South East of Australia, this fire was brought under control, | 0:01:06 | 0:01:08 | |
but not before it destroyed a house. | 0:01:08 | 0:01:10 | |
Residents have been told to remain close to shelter in case | 0:01:10 | 0:01:13 | |
conditions change again. | 0:01:13 | 0:01:16 | |
A sandstorm hit Egypt yesterday, it turned the sky yellow over | 0:01:16 | 0:01:19 | |
the capital city Cairo, blotting out the sun | 0:01:19 | 0:01:22 | |
and limiting visibility. | 0:01:22 | 0:01:25 | |
Some of the country's major sea-ports had to be closed and some | 0:01:25 | 0:01:28 | |
flights couldn't land. | 0:01:28 | 0:01:30 | |
The weather is expected to improve today. | 0:01:30 | 0:01:33 | |
In Mexico, in north America, one the country's tallest | 0:01:33 | 0:01:35 | |
volcanoes has erupted. | 0:01:35 | 0:01:38 | |
The Popocatepetl volcano threw ash and gas nearly | 0:01:38 | 0:01:41 | |
two kilometres into sky. | 0:01:41 | 0:01:43 | |
Those monitoring the site are warning people living nearby | 0:01:43 | 0:01:47 | |
to be ready to leave because the volcano is showing | 0:01:47 | 0:01:50 | |
signs of activity. | 0:01:50 | 0:01:53 | |
Now if you were feeling a bit blue yesterday... | 0:01:53 | 0:01:55 | |
You weren't the only one. | 0:01:55 | 0:02:02 | |
Scientists say that third Monday in January is the most | 0:02:02 | 0:02:04 | |
miserable day of the year. | 0:02:04 | 0:02:06 | |
So we've been asking what makes you happy on the Newsround website. | 0:02:06 | 0:02:13 | |
Thanks for sending all of those in. | 0:02:23 | 0:02:26 | |
And now to these two surfers in Australia who have developed | 0:02:26 | 0:02:29 | |
a new invention which is designed to collect rubbish in the oceans. | 0:02:29 | 0:02:32 | |
Here's Leah with all the details. | 0:02:32 | 0:02:35 | |
Rubbish in the ocean can cause real problems for sea-life. | 0:02:35 | 0:02:39 | |
Eight million tonnes of plastic goes into the world's oceans every year | 0:02:39 | 0:02:44 | |
and experts say it poses serious risks, especially to birds | 0:02:44 | 0:02:47 | |
and animals like turtles, dolphins and whales. | 0:02:47 | 0:02:52 | |
A pair of surfers from Perth, Australia, have invented a nifty | 0:02:52 | 0:02:55 | |
tool which they hope might help to reduce the problem. | 0:02:55 | 0:03:00 | |
Pete and Andrew have created the seabin. | 0:03:00 | 0:03:03 | |
Its special design means that rubbish floating on the water | 0:03:03 | 0:03:08 | |
is sucked into the bin. | 0:03:08 | 0:03:11 | |
The lining inside is then lifted out and the rubbish | 0:03:11 | 0:03:14 | |
disposed of properly. | 0:03:14 | 0:03:16 | |
Just now the seabin is used in ports and harbours which are areas | 0:03:16 | 0:03:19 | |
that the tide and winds push rubbish in to. | 0:03:19 | 0:03:22 | |
The guys are hoping to raise money for the project | 0:03:22 | 0:03:25 | |
online through crowd-funding. | 0:03:25 | 0:03:27 | |
A process where people can give money to support things | 0:03:27 | 0:03:29 | |
they are interested in. | 0:03:29 | 0:03:31 | |
Good luck guys. | 0:03:31 | 0:03:34 | |
To tennis now and the Australian Open is well | 0:03:34 | 0:03:37 | |
underway. | 0:03:37 | 0:03:44 | |
Johanna Konta, British number one beat seven-time grand slam champion | 0:03:44 | 0:03:46 | |
Venus Williams in straight sets. | 0:03:46 | 0:03:47 | |
Andy Murray also won in straight sets against German teenager | 0:03:47 | 0:03:50 | |
Alexander Zverev. | 0:03:50 | 0:03:51 | |
He'll now face Australian Sam Groth, holder of the game's | 0:03:51 | 0:03:54 | |
fastest serve, on Thursday. | 0:03:54 | 0:03:57 | |
To football now and Swansea are back to winning ways and out | 0:03:57 | 0:03:59 | |
of the relegation zone. | 0:03:59 | 0:04:01 | |
Thanks to a 1-0 win against Watford. | 0:04:01 | 0:04:03 | |
Defender Ashley Williams scored with a header. | 0:04:03 | 0:04:13 | |
The Swans' new manager Francesco Guidolin watched | 0:04:15 | 0:04:17 | |
on from the stands. | 0:04:17 | 0:04:17 | |
Obviously, he is coming into a strange environment, | 0:04:17 | 0:04:19 | |
he is coming to a strange club where he is probably not | 0:04:19 | 0:04:22 | |
going to know a huge amount of the players. | 0:04:22 | 0:04:24 | |
He will have first hand knowledge of them tonight, | 0:04:24 | 0:04:27 | |
but hopefully you can give him whatever. | 0:04:27 | 0:04:28 | |
Not just the players who play today but the rest | 0:04:28 | 0:04:31 | |
of the players in the squad as well and what they can offer. | 0:04:31 | 0:04:34 | |
I think we are all looking forward to working | 0:04:34 | 0:04:36 | |
with him and we are looking forward now to a positive end to the season. | 0:04:36 | 0:04:40 | |
In Peru in South America they've come up with an interesting way | 0:04:40 | 0:04:42 | |
of catching people who dump rubbish. | 0:04:42 | 0:04:44 | |
They've trained ten vultures to monitor the skies | 0:04:44 | 0:04:51 | |
above the capital city, Lima. | 0:04:51 | 0:04:52 | |
They're wearing cameras fitted with tracking systems to try to help | 0:04:52 | 0:04:55 | |
authorities find out who is leaving rubbish in places they're | 0:04:55 | 0:04:57 | |
not supposed to. | 0:04:57 | 0:04:58 | |
That's all from me for now - do join us at 8.15 when we'll be | 0:04:58 | 0:05:02 | |
finding out what makes you happy. | 0:05:02 | 0:05:02 |
