Hello and welcome to Newsround. As always we have everything you need

:00:21.:00:27.

to know and a bit extra. Under way, we wish happy birthday to a very

:00:27.:00:33.

old chimp. Their obviously ran out of cake. And Nicola Roberts get

:00:33.:00:40.

stuck into her solo career, but can she handle this Pop Quiz? Adele?

:00:41.:00:45.

First we had to Somalia where there are warnings that the situation for

:00:45.:00:49.

children could be about to get worse. The recent drought means

:00:49.:00:53.

many families have no food or shelter, and the rainy season is

:00:53.:00:58.

about to start, which could mean even more serious problems.

:00:58.:01:02.

This is Mogadishu, the capital of Somalia, one of the country's worst

:01:02.:01:10.

affected by the drought in South -- Africa. Hundreds of families come

:01:10.:01:15.

here because they think they have a better chance of getting food and

:01:15.:01:18.

water here. Many of the children that arrive are malnourished and

:01:18.:01:23.

are dying because of their lack of food. Things could get worse. Heavy

:01:23.:01:26.

rains are expected, which you might think is good news, but they will

:01:26.:01:31.

destroy the tents which people are living in and if the camps flood,

:01:31.:01:34.

children will be in danger of catching measles and diarrhoea

:01:34.:01:39.

which could prove deadly. I spoke to Justin Forsyth who is working

:01:39.:01:43.

out there for the charity Save The Children. What is the situation

:01:43.:01:53.
:01:53.:02:03.

Charities are stepping up their efforts so that when the rains come,

:02:03.:02:06.

the people here have a better chance of survival.

:02:06.:02:09.

If you were watching that and wondering what you can do to help

:02:09.:02:14.

them, you could take inspiration from Press Packers Charlie. Last

:02:14.:02:18.

year he raised hundreds of thousands of pounds for children

:02:18.:02:20.

after their 80 earthquake when his fund-raising efforts became an

:02:20.:02:30.

internet sensation. -- after the Haiti earthquake. Now he is passing

:02:30.:02:34.

on his expertise. A year ago are raised a quarter of a million

:02:34.:02:40.

pounds for Haiti. I am going to do the same but for Somalia. I am

:02:40.:02:44.

helping school kids get ready for their sponsored cycle ride. All of

:02:44.:02:51.

the money that we raised will go to Somalia. We did a question and

:02:51.:02:55.

answer session so that these young fundraisers could get prepared for

:02:55.:03:02.

the cycle ride. Did you have to do any training before the five miles?

:03:02.:03:12.
:03:12.:03:12.

I'd probably have to trade at least once a week -- train. My parents

:03:12.:03:17.

sponsored me and they passed it on to my friends and their friends.

:03:17.:03:21.

How did you feel after the bike ride? I felt tired and very proud

:03:21.:03:27.

of myself. These are my top three tips for his charity cycle ride. No.

:03:27.:03:34.

1, always make sure your tyres are pumped up properly. No. 2, make

:03:34.:03:39.

sure that your brakes are working. No. 3, make sure that you have got

:03:39.:03:44.

a proper Helmut for the bike ride. Now they know how I did it, how are

:03:44.:03:49.

they feeling for their big event? More confident and ready for the

:03:49.:03:53.

bike ride next week. If I do this bike ride it will really help some

:03:53.:03:57.

people in Somalia. I am really excited because Charlie raised a

:03:57.:04:02.

lot of money and I hope to raise the same. Not long to go. With

:04:02.:04:06.

sponsorship coming in, you had better get training. This is

:04:06.:04:12.

Charlie reporting for Newsround. Thank you.

:04:12.:04:16.

One of these chains looks like he is having a great time, because it

:04:16.:04:23.

is happy birthday to Ricky. Not our Ricky, but this guy, one of the

:04:23.:04:27.

oldest animals at Edinburgh Zoo, having reached the big Five-O. He

:04:27.:04:34.

held his party to celebrate. The members of Team GB for the

:04:34.:04:39.

Olympics were officially announced today. The first 11 are this lot,

:04:39.:04:43.

the sailors, with Ben Ainslie in front, aiming for his 4th gold

:04:43.:04:48.

medal for 2012. It is massively exciting, of course. For all of us

:04:48.:04:53.

it is a huge honour to represent the home nation at a home Olympics.

:04:53.:04:58.

We know her best as one of the five members of Girls Aloud, but Nicola

:04:58.:05:06.

Roberts has that doubt on her own and now is riding solo. Her first

:05:06.:05:10.

album Cinderella Eyes is out this week and she has been telling

:05:11.:05:19.

Hayley all about it. Say and music has always been

:05:19.:05:23.

really important to me. That is what I wanted to do when I was

:05:23.:05:29.

growing up. Is it very different to working with Girls Aloud? Yes, it

:05:29.:05:34.

is very different. It is just you on your own and I do miss the girls.

:05:34.:05:42.

Is that the end of Girls Aloud? Definitely not. Your album is

:05:42.:05:46.

called Cinderella Eyes. Within that you talk about the issue of

:05:46.:05:53.

bullying. Is that important to you? There is a song on at the record

:05:53.:06:00.

called Sticks and Stones. It is very close to make and it was a

:06:00.:06:04.

situation that I went through. I wanted to have a record that

:06:04.:06:09.

actually meant something and that somebody could really identify with

:06:09.:06:14.

it and it could really help them personally. I just think it is a

:06:14.:06:20.

positive angle on something that is negative. Because it is called

:06:20.:06:24.

Cinderella Eyes, we have a Pop Quiz for you, based on the eyes of

:06:25.:06:28.

various members of Girls Aloud. There are some red herrings. Here

:06:28.:06:38.
:06:38.:06:41.

is that? Sarah. Nadine. They are not from Girls Aloud. Is it Adele?

:06:41.:06:51.
:06:51.:06:54.

Yes! There you go. Gary Barlow? Well done! Thank you very much for

:06:54.:07:04.
:07:04.:07:05.

coming and doing this crazy quiz. Nice one. We got Gary Barlow

:07:05.:07:10.

straight away, didn't we? We have a new Girls Aloud quiz on our website.

:07:10.:07:17.

Test yourself. We also have the details on nominations for the MTV

:07:18.:07:22.

Europe Awards. Lady Gaga leads the way, up 46 awards including Best

:07:22.:07:28.

Female. Stiff competition from Katy Perry with four nominations and

:07:28.:07:34.

Adele with three. The awards will be coming from Belfast in November.

:07:34.:07:39.

And last up, how one of the world's cheapest cars has become one of the

:07:39.:07:44.

most expensive. This Tata Nano has been covered in �3 million worth of
