We've got loads for you this afternoon, online and on TV.

:00:00.:00:09.

Blue Peter's Lindsay gets ready for her tough sports relief

:00:10.:00:12.

challenge, and the baby gorilla born with help

:00:13.:00:15.

This baby gorilla is the first in the UK to be born with help

:00:16.:00:31.

She needed a three hour operation to bring her safely into the world.

:00:32.:00:41.

Here's Ricky. This man has delivered hundreds of

:00:42.:00:49.

babies but now Professor David Carhill has delivered something

:00:50.:00:54.

original. This newborn baby gorilla is tiny and very hairy. Bristol Zoo

:00:55.:00:59.

asked for help from the local maternity hospital after her mum

:01:00.:01:03.

became ill. He had to carry out a three-hour operation to get the baby

:01:04.:01:07.

out safely. It was very special, very different. I mean, I have

:01:08.:01:12.

helped lots of babies but this one was quite special because even

:01:13.:01:17.

though it's quite small, it had a strong grip, looked at me with those

:01:18.:01:20.

weird eyes it's got. It was fun. There were a few complications, but

:01:21.:01:26.

mother and baby are now doing well. 11 days on, the baby, a girl, is

:01:27.:01:31.

thriving. She's being fed by zoo staff for now until she's strong

:01:32.:01:33.

enough to meet the rest of the family. She's only allowed one

:01:34.:01:38.

visitor - the doctor who delivered her. Thanks, Ricky.

:01:39.:01:39.

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

:01:40.:01:43.

areas to help people cut off by a powerful cyclone that

:01:44.:01:46.

The storm and winds of over two hundred miles an hour,

:01:47.:01:50.

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

:01:51.:01:53.

Thousands of people are now living in evacuation centres and many homes

:01:54.:01:56.

She's a Blue Peter Presenter and used to tough jobs but now

:01:57.:02:03.

Lindsey Russell says she's nervous but excited about her Sports Relief

:02:04.:02:06.

She's going to Zorb in a plastic ball over 20 miles ons water.

:02:07.:02:16.

After months of training, her mammoth task is just days away

:02:17.:02:18.

I am here with Blue Peter presenter Lindsay and she's about to set off

:02:19.:02:26.

on this epic challenge. You're the wave runner. We caught you literally

:02:27.:02:30.

before you're about to head off to Northern Ireland. Minutes. It's

:02:31.:02:34.

ready to go. They're packed and ready to go. How are you feeling?

:02:35.:02:38.

Terrified, really, really nervous. This is officially, I think, the

:02:39.:02:43.

biggest challenge of my life. I have never done anything this big on Blue

:02:44.:02:48.

Peter. We're so used to adventures and challenges, but this one really

:02:49.:02:52.

is huge, so I'm scared. I feel physically good, though. I have been

:02:53.:02:56.

training for five months now and eating all the right foods. I have

:02:57.:03:00.

been at the gym loads. I have done all I can. You have been training

:03:01.:03:05.

for hours on end, on the treadmill. How long? The longest I did was a

:03:06.:03:10.

six-hour run, which I don't recommend. That's just silly. So

:03:11.:03:14.

have you all come to know each other? We're friends and enemies.

:03:15.:03:19.

Sometimes I love the Zorb. Sometimes it's horrible. Weather conditions

:03:20.:03:22.

have to be right for you to complete this challenge for Sport Relief. Lou

:03:23.:03:26.

is it looking? We're looking good, but literally just for 24 hours. We

:03:27.:03:30.

found a window. We set aside two weeks to do this, and we thought in

:03:31.:03:35.

that time there has to be a day that's good, and it turns out there

:03:36.:03:39.

is literally only 23, 24 hours where the wind is right. The sun is OK.

:03:40.:03:42.

The tides are doing the right thing. The swells aren't too big, so we

:03:43.:03:46.

think we have just hopefully found the perfect moment to do it. Tell us

:03:47.:03:50.

where you're starting. I am starting in Northern Ireland. The idea is to

:03:51.:03:59.

cross into Port Patrick, which is where my dad is. My school will be

:04:00.:04:04.

there, my God brother and my cousins. I am half-Scottish, so it's

:04:05.:04:11.

special to finish there. Represent Scotland. Just have a cup of tea

:04:12.:04:15.

before you get into that car. Best of luck. I'll yo see you on the

:04:16.:04:21.

other side. Bie, Newsround. Thanks, Lindsay.

:04:22.:04:22.

Slugs - they're long, brown and slimy - and can

:04:23.:04:25.

But scientists in Shropshire in England, have now fitted them

:04:26.:04:28.

with trackers to work out where they go, so they can limit

:04:29.:04:31.

Slugs are more active at night and will be out in the field and have a

:04:32.:04:42.

number of tagged slugs which we relief. We'll go back every 20

:04:43.:04:47.

throughout the night. throughout the night.

:04:48.:04:49.

That's all from the team today, but there's loads more online.
