Hi, I'm Leah with Monday's Newsround. | :00:00. | :00:10. | |
We're starting with some bad news on the missing Malaysia Airlines plane. | :00:11. | :00:13. | |
It's been confirmed this afternoon that flight MH370 did crash in the | :00:14. | :00:18. | |
Southern India Ocean. The country's Prime Minister made the announcement | :00:19. | :00:25. | |
with deep sadness and regret. The plane went missing after taking off | :00:26. | :00:28. | |
from Kuala Lumpur in Malaysia earlier this month - something which | :00:29. | :00:31. | |
happens extremely rarely - and the search for the wreckage has been | :00:32. | :00:36. | |
taking place ever since. For more than two weeks, | :00:37. | :00:38. | |
investigators have been trying to find out what happened to the | :00:39. | :00:41. | |
Malaysia Airlines flight MH370. The plane left Kuala Lumpur in Malaysia | :00:42. | :00:45. | |
and was supposed to land in Beijing in China. But it never arrived. Its | :00:46. | :00:51. | |
disappearance sparked a massive search operation over many thousands | :00:52. | :00:57. | |
of miles of land and sea. Some 26 countries, including the UK, were | :00:58. | :01:00. | |
involved in trying to find the plane. Today, the Malaysian | :01:01. | :01:03. | |
Government said it had to conclude that the plane's last position was | :01:04. | :01:07. | |
in the middle of the Southern Indian Ocean - miles away from where it was | :01:08. | :01:13. | |
supposed to be flying. It is with deep sadness and regret | :01:14. | :01:17. | |
that I must inform you that according to this new data, flight | :01:18. | :01:20. | |
MH370 ended in the southern Indian Ocean. | :01:21. | :01:35. | |
It follows a number of sightings of possible debris in the area. The | :01:36. | :01:41. | |
plane itself has not yet been found. Malaysia Airlines told the families | :01:42. | :01:44. | |
of the people on board what had happened and said they would | :01:45. | :01:47. | |
continue to support them in the months ahead. | :01:48. | :01:52. | |
Plane crashes are extremely rare. There are still many questions about | :01:53. | :01:57. | |
what exactly happened to flight MH370. The search in the Indian | :01:58. | :02:02. | |
Ocean will continue as investigators to try to explain why the plane's | :02:03. | :02:06. | |
journey ended there. If you're worried or upset about | :02:07. | :02:09. | |

Moving on, and to some new discoveries about the moon... It's | :02:20. | :02:23. | |
something you see every evening lighting up the night sky but have | :02:24. | :02:27. | |
you ever wondered what it's made of? Scientists have been trying to work | :02:28. | :02:31. | |
out the make-up of the moon for a long time. They thought they'd | :02:32. | :02:34. | |
understood it but now they're not so sure. Nel's been investigating. | :02:35. | :02:37. | |
The Moon - when it's shining brightly you can't miss it and it's | :02:38. | :02:40. | |
an object that has fascinated people for thousands of years. You may | :02:41. | :02:44. | |
think the moon's just there to tell you it's time for bed. But it | :02:45. | :02:47. | |
actually has loads of functions. The moon affects the tides in our oceans | :02:48. | :02:54. | |
and the seasons in the year. It can also be used to measure things like | :02:55. | :02:57. | |
time and date in a calendar. And sending a man to the moon in 1969 | :02:58. | :03:01. | |
was one of the biggest achievements of our time. | :03:02. | :03:07. | |
By studying rocks from the moon, scientists thought they had worked | :03:08. | :03:10. | |
out what was up there. But recently they've discovered it may have a lot | :03:11. | :03:14. | |
less water than they thought. Researchers in America now think the | :03:15. | :03:18. | |
moon is much drier. So what is it made of and why does it matter? | :03:19. | :03:22. | |
Storytellers used to say it was made of cheese - well one thing for sure | :03:23. | :03:26. | |
is that's definitely not true. I am holding a piece of moon rock, and | :03:27. | :03:33. | |
that is not true. We used to think that there was | :03:34. | :03:40. | |
water on the moon but it is not there in such large quantities. | :03:41. | :03:44. | |
It's clear there's still loads to find out about the moon. | :03:45. | :03:48. | |
There are plans to send more missions up there in the future so | :03:49. | :03:52. | |
chances are there are loads more discoveries yet to come. | :03:53. | :03:57. | |
Now to Kosovo in Eastern Europe where three brown bear cubs have | :03:58. | :04:00. | |
been rescued. The one-month-old cubs - thought to be brothers and sisters | :04:01. | :04:04. | |
- were being kept illegally inside two separate homes. Animal | :04:05. | :04:06. | |
campaigners were tipped off when photos of the cubs were spotted on a | :04:07. | :04:10. | |
social networking site. The trio are now being looked after at a bear | :04:11. | :04:13. | |
sanctuary and authorities are investigating what happened to the | :04:14. | :04:17. | |
bears' mother. Next: one for all you dog owners out | :04:18. | :04:22. | |
there. If you're barking mad about your pet dog, barking orders at them | :04:23. | :04:26. | |
might be the last thing you want to do. That's because researchers in | :04:27. | :04:32. | |
France say shouting at your dog or yanking it's lead can leave it | :04:33. | :04:35. | |
miserable. They monitored two groups of dogs and found the pets that were | :04:36. | :04:39. | |
spoken to in a gentle manor and rewarded with treats were happier | :04:40. | :04:42. | |
and more responsive to tasks than the group that were told off. | :04:43. | :04:45. | |
And if you're a dog lover, head to the Newsround website to read the | :04:46. | :04:49. | |
story of a couple that got married after their guide dogs fell in love. | :04:50. | :04:53. | |
That's all from me, Newsround's back right here at 6.55pm. | :04:54. | :05:00. |
