Welcome to your weekend - | 0:00:04 | 0:00:05 | |
I'm Martin and you're live with Newsround. | 0:00:05 | 0:00:11 | |
First to the huge snow storm that's reached the east coast of the US | 0:00:16 | 0:00:20 | |
where forecasters there are predicting it'll bring | 0:00:20 | 0:00:20 | |
the heaviest snowfall there in 100 years. | 0:00:23 | 0:00:26 | |
Hurricane winds and blizzards mean a state of emergency has been | 0:00:26 | 0:00:29 | |
declared across six states, including the capital, | 0:00:29 | 0:00:31 | |
Washington DC. | 0:00:31 | 0:00:33 | |
People have been advised to stay indoors until the storm passes. | 0:00:33 | 0:00:38 | |
Now if you're having your breakfast you might want to stop for a moment. | 0:00:38 | 0:00:41 | |
We're talking dog poo and how far a team in London are willing to go | 0:00:41 | 0:00:45 | |
to stop it being left on our streets. | 0:00:45 | 0:00:47 | |
Dog poo. It's pretty gross, isn't it? | 0:00:48 | 0:00:52 | |
You're having a nice stroll in the park when, | 0:00:52 | 0:00:54 | |
all of a sudden... | 0:00:54 | 0:00:55 | |
You come across it. | 0:00:55 | 0:00:57 | |
Don't you just hate it when people don't clear up their dog's mess? | 0:00:57 | 0:01:01 | |
If only there was a way of finding out who did this. | 0:01:01 | 0:01:04 | |
I think this might be a job for the DPIU - | 0:01:04 | 0:01:07 | |
the Dog Poo Investigations Unit. | 0:01:07 | 0:01:10 | |
SIRENS | 0:01:11 | 0:01:14 | |
OK, so there's no such thing as a Dog Poo Investigation Unit, | 0:01:16 | 0:01:19 | |
but one local council in London is getting tough on dog doo-doo. | 0:01:19 | 0:01:24 | |
Barking and Dagenham Council have launched a scheme to test dog poo | 0:01:24 | 0:01:27 | |
to try to catch owners who fail to clear up after their pets. | 0:01:27 | 0:01:31 | |
Park rangers will collect samples of dog mess and send it off to a lab | 0:01:31 | 0:01:35 | |
for DNA testing. | 0:01:35 | 0:01:38 | |
The scientists will be comparing the DNA found in the samples | 0:01:38 | 0:01:40 | |
to the list of registered dogs and then the owner will be tracked | 0:01:40 | 0:01:43 | |
down and fined. | 0:01:43 | 0:01:46 | |
Getting DNA from dogs involves a simple swab, | 0:01:46 | 0:01:49 | |
taking just a few seconds, and will also help if the dog | 0:01:49 | 0:01:52 | |
is ever lost. | 0:01:52 | 0:01:53 | |
But, at the moment, registering for the scheme is voluntary and some | 0:01:53 | 0:01:57 | |
people think that not all pet owners will sign up. | 0:01:57 | 0:02:00 | |
A responsible dog owner would always walk around with a bag and pick up | 0:02:00 | 0:02:04 | |
whatever is necessary. | 0:02:04 | 0:02:05 | |
I just think it's a waste of money. | 0:02:05 | 0:02:08 | |
It's not realistic at all, in all honesty. | 0:02:08 | 0:02:11 | |
It's not going to work. | 0:02:11 | 0:02:12 | |
Barking Council say the doggy forensics will help keep the area | 0:02:12 | 0:02:20 | |
cleaner and mess-free and wants other councils to follow suit. | 0:02:20 | 0:02:23 | |
So, is this idea barking mad or will it actually stop owners | 0:02:23 | 0:02:26 | |
and their dogs from leaving this mess behind? | 0:02:26 | 0:02:27 | |
I tell you what, I'm going home. | 0:02:27 | 0:02:29 | |
That's enough dog poo for me today. | 0:02:29 | 0:02:32 | |
The British number one Johanna Konta, has become the first | 0:02:38 | 0:02:40 | |
British woman since 1987 to make it to the last 16 | 0:02:40 | 0:02:43 | |
of the Australian Open. | 0:02:43 | 0:02:44 | |
Konta thrashed Czech Republic's Denisa | 0:02:44 | 0:02:46 | |
Allertova 6-2, 6-2 in Melbourne. | 0:02:46 | 0:02:51 | |

Andy Murray is playing right now. | 0:02:52 | 0:02:58 | |
That's all from me. | 0:02:58 | 0:03:00 |
