Morning.

0:00:030:00:04

Ricky here with some astonishing stories today.

0:00:040:00:07

The baby gorilla born with help from a hospital for humans.

0:00:070:00:12

Martin dances with some children ahead of one

0:00:120:00:14

of the world's biggest competitions.

0:00:140:00:20

But first, a baby gorilla's been born with help from a maternity

0:00:280:00:30

hospital for humans.

0:00:300:00:34

It's thought to be the first time a baby animal's survived in the UK

0:00:340:00:37

after a big operation like this.

0:00:370:00:42

This man has delivered hundreds of babies, but now

0:00:420:00:44

Professor David Carhill has delivered something original.

0:00:440:00:49

This newborn baby gorilla is tiny and very hairy!

0:00:490:00:54

Bristol Zoo asked for help from the local maternity hospital

0:00:540:00:56

after her mum became ill.

0:00:560:01:00

He had to carry out a three-hour operation to get

0:01:000:01:02

the baby out safely.

0:01:020:01:05

It was very special, very different.

0:01:050:01:08

I've helped lots of babies, but this one was quite special

0:01:080:01:10

because even though it was quite small, it had a really strong grip.

0:01:100:01:14

It looked it me with those kind of weird eyes that it's got.

0:01:140:01:17

And it was quite fun.

0:01:170:01:19

There were a few complications, but mother and baby are both

0:01:190:01:22

now doing well.

0:01:220:01:24

11 days on, the baby gorilla and girl is thriving.

0:01:240:01:27

She is being fed by zoo staff for a while until she is strong

0:01:270:01:31

enough to meet the rest of the family.

0:01:310:01:33

She is only allowed one visitor - the doctor who delivered her.

0:01:330:01:39

Next, the government in Fiji is sending boats to hard-to-reach

0:01:390:01:42

locations to help people cut off by a super cyclone that

0:01:420:01:45

hit on Saturday.

0:01:450:01:47

The powerful storm, which brought winds of over 200 miles per hour,

0:01:470:01:50

caused large damage to the group of islands in the Pacific Ocean.

0:01:500:01:54

Thousands of Fijians are living in evacuation centres while many

0:01:540:01:57

parts of the country are still without power.

0:01:570:02:01

Now to the 50-metre sinkhole that's caused a big headache for people

0:02:010:02:04

in the German town of Nordhausen.

0:02:040:02:06

Two buildings were dragged into the hole, which

0:02:060:02:08

was filled with water.

0:02:080:02:09

Lukily, no-one was injured.

0:02:090:02:12

Let's look at some sport now.

0:02:120:02:14

Manchester United beat League One Shrewsbury Town 3-0

0:02:140:02:21

The goals came from Chris Smalling, Juan Mata, and Jesse Lingard.

0:02:210:02:25

England women's football squad has been announced

0:02:250:02:27

for a tournament next month.

0:02:270:02:29

Chelsea's Katie Chapman, Arsenal defender Alex Scott

0:02:290:02:33

and Fara Williams, who could reach 150 caps for England if she plays,

0:02:330:02:40

will all be on the plane to the the United States.

0:02:400:02:43

Next, are you any good at dancing?

0:02:430:02:46

I'm not bad, but how do you think it would feel to be picked to represent

0:02:460:02:50

England in the biggest and best international dancing competition?

0:02:500:02:52

Martin went to meet one team who want to get it right

0:02:520:02:55

on the night.

0:02:550:02:58

Dancing - all of us love to do it, but it turns out some are just

0:02:580:03:01

better than others at it.

0:03:010:03:04

Martin, what are you doing? Dancing!

0:03:040:03:07

Just stop! OK, then.

0:03:070:03:11

I'll be the first to admit it - I'm not that good when it comes

0:03:110:03:15

to busting out some moves.

0:03:150:03:16

However, this dance troupe in Birmingham -

0:03:160:03:18

they're pretty amazing.

0:03:180:03:20

These girls and boys are just some of the squad representing

0:03:200:03:23

Team England.

0:03:230:03:24

Scotland, Wales and Northern Ireland will also have their own troupes.

0:03:240:03:29

So what does it take to be that good?

0:03:290:03:32

You have to put in all the time, not just at the dance studio.

0:03:320:03:35

You have to put it on at home as well.

0:03:350:03:38

I get up, I go to school, I go straight from school to dance

0:03:380:03:42

and then I go to bed. And I do that four days a week.

0:03:420:03:45

Being a good dancer isn't just training hard, it's training better

0:03:450:03:49

than you think you could.

0:03:490:03:51

Before you do a step, you have to think how do I do this?

0:03:510:03:54

And how can I improve it?

0:03:540:03:56

You just have to get committed to it, and all my hard work has

0:03:560:03:59

got paid off.

0:03:590:04:01

The World Cup will take place in Jersey in June this year.

0:04:010:04:06

These guys will be going up against some of the best dancers

0:04:060:04:08

from 38 countries across the world.

0:04:080:04:15

the competition for three years in a row.

0:04:150:04:18

So what are they expecting it to be like?

0:04:180:04:21

We do a lot of competitions and they are all really special.

0:04:210:04:24

But getting to represent your country is almost even more special.

0:04:240:04:28

I feel like the atmosphere is going to be amazing.

0:04:280:04:31

It is not just about the competition, it's

0:04:310:04:32

about being on the dance course.

0:04:320:04:35

I can't believe it. Representing England -

0:04:350:04:37

you couldn't ask for anything better than that.

0:04:370:04:38

Good

0:04:500:04:50

Good luck

0:04:500:04:50

Good luck to

0:04:500:04:50

Good luck to them.

0:04:500:04:51

Come back in half an hour to see Owain Doull, one

0:04:510:04:53
