Good afternoon friends. Hello. You've got Joe and Leah here | :00:24. | :00:28. | |
tonight. Stayed tuned because some of this is on its way. The soldiers | :00:28. | :00:33. | |
using helmet cams to record life on the front line. And, X Factor's | :00:34. | :00:37. | |
back. Last year's winners tell Nel why you should always listen to | :00:37. | :00:43. | |
your mum. But first to stiffer punishments for dangerous dog | :00:44. | :00:46. | |
owners. From today, anyone in England and Wales who doesn't | :00:46. | :00:50. | |
control their pet in public could face up to 18 months behind bars. | :00:50. | :00:53. | |
Last year more than 6,000 people ended up in hospital in England | :00:53. | :00:56. | |
after being bitten by dogs and the biggest victims were children under | :00:56. | :00:59. | |
ten. So will the new guidelines on prison sentences keep dangerous | :00:59. | :01:06. | |
pets under control? I've been finding out. There's about eight | :01:06. | :01:10. | |
million pet dogs in the UK and most of the time if they're looked after | :01:10. | :01:14. | |
properly they're a big part of our families. But that's not always the | :01:14. | :01:21. | |
case. Sometimes dogs can get out of control. Last year the number of | :01:21. | :01:25. | |
people attacked by dogs went up in England. Up till now there were no | :01:25. | :01:28. | |
guidelines for judges sentencing owners of dangerous dogs. Now | :01:28. | :01:31. | |
guidelines have been introduced and it should mean tougher punishments | :01:31. | :01:35. | |
and more people going to prison. Owners who let their dogs hurt | :01:35. | :01:38. | |
people in public will face six months behind bars and that could | :01:38. | :01:47. | |
go up to 18 months in more serious cases. Do you think the new rules | :01:47. | :01:51. | |
go far enough? We welcome them. They're a step in the right | :01:52. | :01:57. | |
direction and it's a good idea that anybody who has a dog that's out of | :01:57. | :02:02. | |
control can face stiffer sentences, but we would like to see further | :02:02. | :02:06. | |
measures put in place. Responsible dog ownership has to be the way to | :02:06. | :02:12. | |
go. If you know your dog has issues with other animals or gets nervous, | :02:12. | :02:22. | |
:02:22. | :02:29. | ||
you must keep it on a lead. I grew up with pet dogs around the house | :02:29. | :02:32. | |
and this is our latest edition - Pebbles. I've been lucky enough to | :02:32. | :02:35. | |
only have good experiences with dogs. But that's not the same for | :02:35. | :02:39. | |
everyone. The best advice is if you don't know a dog, then it's best | :02:39. | :02:42. | |
not to go near it. Good advice. Most dogs aren't dangerous, but if | :02:42. | :02:46. | |
you do want tips on how to stay safe around them, head over to the | :02:46. | :02:49. | |
Newsround website. Lots of helpful advice including what to do if you | :02:49. | :02:52. | |
think a dog might be aggressive. The Duke of Edinburgh has been | :02:52. | :02:55. | |
allowed to go home after spending five nights in hospital in Scotland. | :02:55. | :02:58. | |
The Queen's husband thanked doctors and nurses who had helped treat him | :02:58. | :03:01. | |
for an infection. It's the third time in nine months that the Duke, | :03:01. | :03:07. | |
who's 91, has been in hospital. England are playing South Africa at | :03:07. | :03:10. | |
Lord's and they have to win to remain the number one Test side, | :03:10. | :03:18. | |
but it's not looking good. The score was 293-8. They need a total | :03:18. | :03:23. | |
of 346 runs to win. Lots of work to do there. Next to Afghanistan, and | :03:23. | :03:25. | |
some of the most dramatic home video footage you've probably even | :03:25. | :03:28. | |
seen. Two years ago British soldiers involved in some of the | :03:28. | :03:30. | |
fiercest fighting in Helmand Province decided to attach cameras | :03:30. | :03:33. | |
to their helmets. British troops have been in the country for more | :03:33. | :03:37. | |
than ten years, but this footage shows what life was like on the | :03:37. | :03:40. | |
front line like never before. Now the videos are being turned into a | :03:40. | :03:43. | |
television series called Our War. I caught up with two soldiers who | :03:43. | :03:53. | |
were involved with the project. In 2010 the 2nd Battalion, Duke of | :03:53. | :03:57. | |
Lancaster's Regiment was sent to one of the most dangerous areas of | :03:57. | :04:03. | |
Helmand. They were trying to stop the Taliban. The regiment headed to | :04:03. | :04:08. | |
a Taliban stronghold, fighting them on their own territory. The Taliban | :04:08. | :04:12. | |
were really surprised how cheeky we were to go right into their area. | :04:12. | :04:16. | |
When they established where we were, they really came for us. They would | :04:16. | :04:20. | |
fire from one direction and see our reaction and move to another and | :04:20. | :04:25. | |
fire from there and they took us on all day from different angles and | :04:25. | :04:28. | |
exposed any weaknesses. They were very, very good fighters. What goes | :04:29. | :04:33. | |
through your head? Are you scared? Yeah. Anybody who says they're not | :04:33. | :04:36. | |
is a liar. There's a mixture of excitement and fear and you are | :04:37. | :04:40. | |
walking into the unknown, but it's really exciting. Looking back, does | :04:40. | :04:46. | |
it feel real to watch it back now, now you are perfectly safe and over | :04:46. | :04:50. | |
here? It brings lots of memories and a lot of sad points, because | :04:50. | :04:53. | |
two of our friends were killed and three wounded, but some of the good | :04:53. | :04:57. | |
times and memories and it is good to reminisce and remember all the | :04:57. | :05:00. | |
things we did in Afghanistan. you think the work you are doing | :05:00. | :05:04. | |
over there is worth the lives of the men being lost? We are | :05:04. | :05:09. | |
definitely improving Afghanistan. We completed the road for vital | :05:09. | :05:19. | |
links and improved the locals' lives. The Curiosity Rover has | :05:19. | :05:26. | |
zapped his first rock from Mars. It zapped a piece of rock the size of | :05:26. | :05:32. | |
a tennis ball. Scientists hope that by zapping the rock they'll be able | :05:32. | :05:36. | |
to figure out what minerals they're made of. Exciting. It's that time | :05:36. | :05:40. | |
of year again and the X Factor is back on our telly. But did you | :05:40. | :05:43. | |
bother to watch? More than eight million people tuned in for the | :05:43. | :05:45. | |
opening show, but that's two million down on last year. But | :05:45. | :05:48. | |
what's life been like for last year's winners Little Mix? Nel went | :05:48. | :05:52. | |
to meet the girls to find out. Look out for the flash photography in | :05:52. | :06:02. | |
:06:02. | :06:05. | ||
this one. The winner of the X Factor 2011 - LittlAlism. Now you | :06:05. | :06:11. | |
are the first and only girl group to ever have won X Factor. What's | :06:11. | :06:21. | |
your secret? I think the secret is just to work very hard. We were | :06:21. | :06:25. | |
just rehearsing 24/7. That was a factor and we are normal girls and | :06:25. | :06:30. | |
everyone got to see that and how close we were at friends. | :06:30. | :06:34. | |
relationship with Tulisa helped, because that was real and she | :06:34. | :06:40. | |
really did want us to do well. you feel like it's not a golden | :06:40. | :06:44. | |
ticket and it's not a free ride and you have to work your way? Loads of | :06:44. | :06:49. | |
people have won it and come out loving it and done one single and | :06:49. | :06:52. | |
crashed out. It gives you a platform and it's getting you | :06:52. | :06:55. | |
started off, but you have to work for it. You can't just think that | :06:55. | :06:59. | |
everything will be given to you and everything will work out, because | :06:59. | :07:03. | |
it isn't. Everyone is your competition in this industry. You | :07:03. | :07:07. | |
have to work really hard to be where you want to be. You've got a | :07:07. | :07:17. | |
:07:17. | :07:21. | ||
new single out? We have. # It's a happy, fun song, about | :07:21. | :07:25. | |
believing in yourself and listening to your mum, because your mum knows | :07:25. | :07:31. | |
best. How much influence does Simon Cowell have in terms of your image | :07:31. | :07:35. | |
and style and songs? Is he quite involved in it? He's really | :07:35. | :07:39. | |
involved. He always gets the final say on everything, so if he didn't | :07:39. | :07:44. | |
like Wings it wouldn't have been our single. It's a good job old | :07:44. | :07:51. | |
Cowell did like it. We've been asking you if you'll be watching | :07:51. | :08:01. | |
:08:01. | :08:22. | ||
Finally we've had some strange weather this summer, but take a | :08:22. | :08:25. | |
look at this for strange goings on. Unusual conditions on Lake Michigan | :08:25. | :08:28. | |
in America led to these water spouts. They're caused when cold | :08:28. | :08:31. | |
and warm air come together. There were nine reported in total, but | :08:31. | :08:37. | |
it's rare to see so many of them in the same place. This story has | :08:37. | :08:41. | |
caused a stir in Australia. A group of people were unhappy about a lack | :08:41. | :08:46. | |
of toilets on a beach, so they went to the loo on the beach. They got | :08:46. | :08:51. |
