But first - to a discovery that's got space scientists very excited.

:00:25.:00:27.

Have they found another planet where life exists?

:00:28.:00:29.

Good afternoon, you are watching news road, I'm Martin and we live

:00:30.:00:32.

for the five minutes. Coming up, meet the man who has hatched a plan,

:00:33.:00:35.

and find out what these guys are waiting for.

:00:36.:00:41.

In this observatory in South America, scientists are very excited

:00:42.:00:47.

as a special telescope has helped to find a very exciting new planet. And

:00:48.:00:52.

this is it... Its name is... Not very catchy, but scientists believe

:00:53.:00:58.

this planet, called a super Earth, could be a game changer in their

:00:59.:01:02.

search for life in outer space. This is because of the distance the

:01:03.:01:06.

planet is from the star that it orbits. The super Earth is actually

:01:07.:01:10.

ten times nearer to its star than we are to our son, but this planet's

:01:11.:01:17.

star is much smaller and cooler and experts think there could be water

:01:18.:01:21.

on its surface, which would be needed for life to exist. Which is

:01:22.:01:26.

why everyone is pretty excited. The planet is 40 light-years away. That

:01:27.:01:31.

is a long way. A really long way. Yet, still travelling. Are we there

:01:32.:01:38.

yet? Ack, there we are, but is there life here? Well, we will just have

:01:39.:01:43.

to leave the scientists to do more studies to find out more. Watch this

:01:44.:01:45.

space. 27 baby tortoises have been

:01:46.:01:46.

rescued by police in Peru. The Galapagos tortoises

:01:47.:01:50.

were in cardboard boxes on a bus heading for the capital,

:01:51.:01:52.

Lima, where they were about to be They're so rare that this

:01:53.:01:54.

rescue is big news. Imagine winning a big competition

:01:55.:02:02.

to design a mascot for two of the biggest athletics events

:02:03.:02:08.

on the planet and having Blue Peter's Radzi turn up at

:02:09.:02:11.

your door? Well, that's exactly what happened

:02:12.:02:13.

to seven-year-old Ellie. Meet hero the hedgehog and we is

:02:14.:02:24.

believed to be. They are the mascots for this summer's world athletics

:02:25.:02:27.

and ParAthletics in champion and they have been designed by

:02:28.:02:34.

seven-year-old Ellie. Why a be an hedgehog? They both need help to

:02:35.:02:39.

survive because people are destroying their homes. Tamil

:02:40.:02:47.

happened when you heard you had won? Somebody ten of my doorstep and

:02:48.:02:52.

there was this man... What happened next question mark we told Ellie she

:02:53.:02:57.

was the Peter mascot when after 4,000 entries. And we believe that

:02:58.:03:09.

Wizbee is the very first mascot with a prosthesis, and my grandad lost

:03:10.:03:11.

his leg in the Second World War and we have a mascot with a prosthetic

:03:12.:03:16.

leg, courtesy of Ellie, and it is awesome. And you can see those

:03:17.:03:19.

mascots tonight at 5:30pm on CBBC. Staying with bees, now,

:03:20.:03:23.

and their numbers have fallen in the UK over recent years

:03:24.:03:25.

and that's got conservationists But experts say there's lots we can

:03:26.:03:28.

do to help in our own gardens - with bee-friendly flowers or even

:03:29.:03:32.

making a bee hotel. And here's beekeeper

:03:33.:03:34.

Noah to show you how. To make up bee B, you will need

:03:35.:03:46.

three pieces of wood for the site and two pieces of wood for the top

:03:47.:03:51.

and bottom. Some bamboo cane to fit in the box, some would blue and a

:03:52.:03:56.

grown-up. Get a grown-up to stick all of the sides together with wood

:03:57.:04:02.

glue, leaving one side open and then stick on the top and bottom of the

:04:03.:04:07.

box. Put bamboo cane and other hollow materials into the box. Cut

:04:08.:04:12.

it down to size if necessary. The bees will nest and lay eggs in these

:04:13.:04:17.

tubes and there you have the bee B

:04:18.:04:20.

This is EGGS-actly the type of story I love.

:04:21.:04:23.

This French artist has been sitting on some chickens eggs

:04:24.:04:25.

for the past three weeks to test if they would hatch.

:04:26.:04:28.

The first eggs have started to hatch and the wee chicks are looking good.

:04:29.:04:35.

Last up - it's just not Newsround without some extreme

:04:36.:04:42.

Lets take a look at the moment a baby polar bear was shown

:04:43.:04:46.

to crowds for the first time at Ohio Zoo in the US.

:04:47.:04:49.

At six months old, she still hasn't got a name so the zoo

:04:50.:04:52.

are asking the public to vote on what they'd call her.

:04:53.:04:54.

Well, that's all your news for today.

:04:55.:04:58.

We will be back tomorrow morning at 7:40 a.m..
