Hello again. Leah here with Saturday's Newsround. Stick around

:00:00.:00:07.

for some of this on the way... Love Dr Who? Keep watching for a first

:00:08.:00:11.

look at the new trailer. And the rare camel who lives at Blackpool

:00:12.:00:13.

Zoo. But first, in the last hour the

:00:14.:00:20.

Queen's baton has touched down at Cardiff Airport ahead of the

:00:21.:00:23.

Commonwealth Games this summer. The baton's on a journey travelling

:00:24.:00:26.

around 71 nations and territories across the world. And BBC reporter

:00:27.:00:35.

Cemlyn Davies is at Cardiff airport for us now.

:00:36.:00:42.

The baton arrived here just after 11am today. It was all very exciting

:00:43.:00:47.

and there was a really warm welcome for the plane carrying the baton. As

:00:48.:00:53.

it landed, water cannon created an archway for the plane as it moved

:00:54.:00:57.

into position. It was coming from Northern Ireland, because it's been

:00:58.:01:01.

touring the Commonwealth. It is visiting 70 nations in total, as it

:01:02.:01:05.

makes its way up to the Commonwealth Games in Glasgow. It will stay in

:01:06.:01:09.

Wales now for seven days. During that time it will be taken up to the

:01:10.:01:13.

summit of Snowdon, the highest mountain in England and Wales. Then

:01:14.:01:17.

it will be taken into England, go through England, up into Scotland

:01:18.:01:25.

and its journey will end when it arrives at the opening ceremony to

:01:26.:01:27.

the Commonwealth Games in Glasgow on the 23rd of July. Now to South Sudan

:01:28.:01:31.

in Africa, the world's newest country. Three years ago, when it

:01:32.:01:34.

became a nation for the first time, there were huge celebrations. But

:01:35.:01:37.

it's faced massive problems since. It's very poor and now war in the

:01:38.:01:41.

country has put many children living there at risk. Here's Martin.

:01:42.:01:46.

People across South Saddam are struggling to find enough to eat and

:01:47.:01:50.

places to sleep. Aid organisations working in the country say that

:01:51.:01:53.

thousands of children could die if more isn't done, and then in a

:01:54.:01:58.

hurry. When food is short it is often the kids who suffer the most.

:01:59.:02:03.

Charities in countries like the UK are helping, but there are so many

:02:04.:02:08.

people without food or houses that they are finding it hard to cope.

:02:09.:02:14.

The conditions in South Sudan at the moment are really desperate. Over a

:02:15.:02:17.

million people had to flee their homes because of violence at really

:02:18.:02:20.

short notice, leaving all their possessions. Hundreds of thousands

:02:21.:02:23.

of children have had to flee as well and are now living out in the

:02:24.:02:27.

countryside and without access to the most basic services, such as

:02:28.:02:32.

school or a doctor, running water or even a toilet. That's why the

:02:33.:02:38.

conditions are so difficult. So what has caused these problems in the

:02:39.:02:41.

first place? It's because many people have been running away from

:02:42.:02:46.

war. Since last December there has been fighting across the country.

:02:47.:02:50.

South Sudan is one of the world's poorest countries, and it has people

:02:51.:02:55.

from different groups, called tribes, living there. When an

:02:56.:02:59.

argument began between politicians from different tribes, some people

:03:00.:03:02.

from those tribes started fighting each other. And the fighting stopped

:03:03.:03:06.

people from being able to grow food. So now they are beginning to

:03:07.:03:11.

go hungry. But despite all these problems, the United Nations think

:03:12.:03:15.

that people in South Sudan can be saved. But they will need help to

:03:16.:03:21.

grow their own food. Above all, they need the fighting to stop soon. But

:03:22.:03:25.

that is more difficult to do. Next, this was the moment a Japanese

:03:26.:03:27.

rocket carrying space equipment blasted off from a space centre in

:03:28.:03:31.

Southern Japan. On board is a high-resolution satellite which will

:03:32.:03:34.

scan earth to help scientists understand more about earthquakes,

:03:35.:03:41.

floods and other natural disasters. Now, most Dr Who fans will know the

:03:42.:03:45.

new series starts in August with a brand new doctor. But if that feels

:03:46.:03:52.

ages away, well, we've got our hands on the latest trailer for you, but

:03:53.:03:54.

it's pretty short. We want you to tell us what you are

:03:55.:04:14.

hoping to see from the new series. Get involved online! And we'll read

:04:15.:04:18.

some of the best comments out on Newsround You'll also find this next

:04:19.:04:21.

story over on the Newsround website too. Baby Bactrian camels. They're

:04:22.:04:24.

an endangered species with two humps and this one lives at Blackpool Zoo.

:04:25.:04:28.

But keepers are having to look after it because it was rejected by its

:04:29.:04:32.

mother. She hasn't been named yet but this little calf is already part

:04:33.:04:36.

of the family at Blackpool Zoo. When her mother rejected her it looked

:04:37.:04:40.

like she might not survive, but staff took over caring for her and

:04:41.:04:46.

now she's doing well. Mum didn't want to persist and kept kicking the

:04:47.:04:52.

calf away. It was our turn to decide to give her an artificial milk

:04:53.:04:58.

replacer. She is now housed with a surrogate mother. The surrogate

:04:59.:05:01.

mother's world is really important. This little one has to learn how to

:05:02.:05:07.

behave like a camel, but for now she prefers humans. She has to be fed

:05:08.:05:10.

five times a day and staff even have to come back to feed her at 11pm.

:05:11.:05:16.

And, like all newborn babies, she has to be weighed. The real test is

:05:17.:05:23.

to see how she's doing. All is fine. As she gets older, to about three

:05:24.:05:27.

months or so, we will start introducing some solid foods

:05:28.:05:30.

gradually, then we will wean her off the milk and more onto the solid

:05:31.:05:36.

food. Hopefully the rest is history. These camels are an endangered

:05:37.:05:40.

species and less than 1000 remain in the wild. At least here, though,

:05:41.:05:43.

these little carbs are all doing well. And the gates are just about

:05:44.:05:49.

to open in Glasgow for Radio One's Big Weekend. These boys are first up

:05:50.:05:54.

on stage and there'll be music from Coldplay later tonight - wish I had

:05:55.:05:59.

a ticket! That's your lot for now, I'm back just before 2pm.

:06:00.:06:00.
