Hi, I'm Martin, it's Thursday and this is Newsround.

:00:00.:00:00.

Here's what's coming up on the show today.

:00:00.:00:07.

No More Mary and Paul as Mary quits Bake Off.

:00:08.:00:22.

First up, Prince William has given a speech this afternoon calling

:00:23.:00:25.

for more protection for elephants and an end to the illegal trade

:00:26.:00:28.

He said that poaching in Africa has reached dangerous levels over

:00:29.:00:34.

the last few years and that if it continues at this rate,

:00:35.:00:37.

elephants could become extinct within 25 years.

:00:38.:00:41.

Poaching is the illegal killing of animals like elephants

:00:42.:00:44.

These are worth a lot of money as carved ornaments.

:00:45.:00:49.

People in countries like China and Vietnam also buy

:00:50.:00:52.

them as they believe they work as medicines.

:00:53.:00:56.

He was talking ahead of a big meeting next week when leaders

:00:57.:00:58.

from around the world will be discussing how they can

:00:59.:01:01.

protect animals and stop the illegal trade in ivory.

:01:02.:01:06.

When I was born, there were 1 million elephants roaming Africa, by

:01:07.:01:18.

the time my daughter Charlotte was born last year, they have crashed to

:01:19.:01:24.

just under 150,000. When Charlotte turns 25, at this pace, the African

:01:25.:01:26.

elephant will be gone from the wild. Dame Sarah Storey is Britain's

:01:27.:01:29.

greatest ever female Paralympian. Over seven games, she's won 14 golds

:01:30.:01:32.

in swimming and cycling - including three at this summer's

:01:33.:01:35.

Paralympic Games in Rio. Here she is with answers

:01:36.:01:37.

to your questions. That first gold medal around my neck

:01:38.:01:50.

in the velodrome, I could not believe how heavy it was, it really

:01:51.:01:57.

choked me up. People ask me, are you crying Akkadian? My know

:01:58.:02:04.

nervous energy is good, I go through the processes I have practised in

:02:05.:02:17.

training, trying to think about the thing I'm trying to do, not getting

:02:18.:02:24.

distracted by anything else. I got into cycling because I went over to

:02:25.:02:31.

the Manchester Velodrome, going to a public taster session. You can do

:02:32.:02:35.

that in any of them around the country, Newport, Derby, Glasgow,

:02:36.:02:40.

Manchester, London. Go around the track. Then I got into road cycling,

:02:41.:02:45.

that really caught my heart. That is where I spend most my time now.

:02:46.:02:47.

A year ago we told you about the difficult

:02:48.:02:49.

journey Nujeen was making, fleeing war in her home country

:02:50.:02:51.

of Syria, and travelling to Germany to find safety -

:02:52.:02:54.

a journey made extra tricky because she uses a wheelchair.

:02:55.:02:56.

Now - a year on - Nujeen's talking about life in Germany

:02:57.:02:59.

It is a journey... This was her back in 2015, 16 years old, travelling

:03:00.:03:14.

from Syria. Three Europe, towards Germany. She made the journey with

:03:15.:03:20.

her big sister, but had to leave her mum and dad behind. A difficult

:03:21.:03:26.

journey, travelling by boat, waiting at borders of countries to find out

:03:27.:03:30.

whether or not she would be able to continue her journey to safety.

:03:31.:03:34.

Eventually she reached Germany where her brother was already living, and

:03:35.:03:39.

has built a new life. How do she described herself now? Just like any

:03:40.:03:45.

other person. She wakes up early, goes to school, she is a

:03:46.:03:51.

hard-working pupil, I hope. She speaks German. And she is safe, not

:03:52.:04:02.

afraid anymore. She is in safety, but thinks about the fighting going

:04:03.:04:06.

on in Syria. Comparing the country to a sick person, that she hopes

:04:07.:04:11.

will get better one day. I miss you. Don't worry, you are just really,

:04:12.:04:18.

really sick. I am sure you are going to get better. When you do, I will

:04:19.:04:27.

be right by your side. When the fighting stops, she hopes to return.

:04:28.:04:30.

Finally, Mary Berry has scone, from the Great British Bake Off,

:04:31.:04:35.

but Paul says muffin would make him leave.

:04:36.:04:38.

Sorry, my puns are taking the biscuit today!

:04:39.:04:42.

Of course I'm talking about the news that Mary Berry has said today

:04:43.:04:45.

that she is leaving the show after this series.

:04:46.:04:48.

Paul Hollywood has confirmed though that he will be staying.

:04:49.:04:50.

That's all from me, Newsround's back tomorrow with Naz.

:04:51.:04:52.
