Plus what happens when you let robots loose,

:00:12.:00:14.

First, to a warning that elephants in Africa

:00:15.:00:21.

could be wiped out, if more isn't done to stop illegal poaching.

being hunted for their tusks, has reached a dangerous level, with

:00:27.:00:29.

more elephants now being killed each year, than are being born.

:00:30.:00:35.

They're the biggest land animals on earth and their herds have long

:00:36.:00:38.

been seen journeying across the plains of Africa.

:00:39.:00:41.

But these magnificent animals are under threat.

:00:42.:00:47.

Since 2010 around 35,000 elephants have been killed by poachers

:01:39.:01:41.

We need governments to take this as a serious crime.

:01:42.:02:00.

Efforts to stop the poachers have been stepped up.

:02:01.:02:02.

But with these latest figures it seems that even more needs

:02:03.:02:05.

to be done to protect Africa's elephants in the future.

:02:06.:02:10.

Moving on, the latest star name to sign up for Strictly Come Dancing

:02:11.:02:13.

It's tennis star Andy Murray's mum Judy, who says she can't wait

is the only other name confirmed so far.

Next to the night-time robot guides, helping kids explore one of

:02:28.:02:33.

Britain's most famous art galleries. If you've ever wondered what really

a look at this. 9pm, the lights are off and the Tate

Britain in London is closed to visitors. Robots have been developed

:02:50.:02:55.

to roam around the art gallery at night to allow people to view the

:02:56.:03:02.

art through their eyes. People can control the robots on the Internet

:03:03.:03:05.

and navigate them around the gallery. They can see what is inside
