Hi, I'm Martin,

and this is Newsround.

First, the world's last surviving

male northern white rhino has died.

Sudan was 45 and lived at

the Ol Pejeta Conservancy in Kenya.

He'd been ill for months,

and was eventually put to sleep

after getting much worse.

His death means there are only two

northern white rhino left alive

in the entire world.

They are both female -

and are Sudan's daughter

and granddaughter.

Now, if you had to attempt a world

record what would you do?

Well, for one man in Australia

just wanted to swim.

But there's something pretty

remarkable about this guy.

Check it out...

Take your mark, get ready, go!

This is George.

He's attempted to set a new world

record at 99 years old.

Wow!

He's attempted to set the record

for the fastest 50-metre freestyle

swimmer in the 100-104 age category.

Although he's 99, he's been allowed

to enter because his 100th

birthday is next month.

Come on, Georgie boy!

So he's passed the halfway mark!

George used to swim a lot

when he was younger,

but he gave it up, and only started

again at age 80.

Go, Georgie boy!

Come on, Georgie, let's go, folks!

He finished the race

and clocked 56.12 seconds -

which is 35 seconds faster

than the previous record,

set four years ago.

Officials now need

to verify the record

before it's made official.

So, how's he feeling?

Thank you very much!

He's exhausted!

Well done, George,

you absolute legend.

Now, when it comes to recycling,

do you always know which bin to use?

Well, if you're rubbish

with your rubbish, then let Ricky

bring you up to speed.

Hello, and welcome to

Where Can You Bin It?

The game show that nobody wants,

but everybody needs.

Yes, now, have you heard

the joke about the bin?

It's rubbish!

LAUGHTER.

Thank you, thank you,

I'm here all week!

Anyway, on with the show.

So, these are the rules...

I show you an everyday household

item, and you have to tell me

if it can or can't be recycled.

It's time to play

Where Can You Bin It?

First up - kitchen foil,

perfect for sandwiches

and wrapping cold meat.

But can it be recycled?

Start the clock!

I kind of want to say

it is recyclable, but maybe it

isn't, I don't know.

Kitchen foil?

Hmm...

It can be recycled.

The correct answer is...

It can be recycled.

That's right.

But make sure you wash it first.

Cake crumbs will not be tolerated,

thank you very much.

Next up, wrapping paper.

Start the clock!

I think wrapping paper

can be recycled.

I'm going to say, put

it in the paper one.

I would say that would definitely be

able to be recycled.

Wouldn't you?

Yes, I think so.

The answer is...

It can't be recycled.

Not all wrapping paper

is actually made out of paper.

Some of it is plastic-based.

And if it's covered in sticky tape

or glitter, well, that's even worse.

Last up, takeaway coffee cups.

Take it away, people!

Take it away, takeaway!

Get it?!

I think the cardboard holder

is definitely recyclable.

But the coffee cup, maybe not.

I'd say, yes, I think

it can be recycled.

Yeah, I do.

Well, it depends.

Most coffee cups have a special

coating inside them which helps

to keep the drink warm.

They can't be recycled.

But some companies do

make cups that can be.

As with everything else

that you throw away,

always check with your local council

to see what can and

can't be recycled.

That's all we've got time for.

Remember, you've got to be in it

to play Where Can You Bin It?

You know what, I'm not sure

that catchphrase makes

any sense whatsoever.

Are you sure this game show

is going to do well?

I'll tell you what, I'm

keeping this jacket though!

I'm loving this.

That's it from me.

Before I go, if you missed this

yesterday, then head online

and meet Louis the gorilla,

who walks upright!

You're welcome.

Bye.
