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.. | :04:59. | :05:01. |
