Good morning, I'm Ricky with all you need to know

this Tuesday morning.

First we're looking at puppy breeding.

In the UK, puppies can be bred to be sold on, but there are strict rules

on how they should be cared for.

But these rules aren't always being followed and puppies

are being badly treated, as we've been finding out.

When you buy a puppy you want to know it's had a good

life and that it's been bred in a caring and loving way.

Some people breed puppies as a business, to make money.

They need special permission for this and they have

to show their local authorities that the puppies in their care

are treated well.

But the BBC programme Panorama did some secret filming and found out

that this isn't always the case.

This is what's known as a puppy farm - a place where lots

and lots of puppies are bred for money but the health

of the animals and the conditions they live in isn't given much

thought at all.

Puppy farming is a really big problem because puppies

and their mums often don't get looked after properly and that can

mean they are often very scared and they can sometimes

get really sick.

That is really sad for the puppies but it can also be very

upsetting for their new owners.

If you and your family are thinking about getting a dog,

you could consider re-homing or if you are thinking

about buying a puppy, the best thing to do to make

sure your puppy comes from a good home, is to ask the breeder

lots of questions and not just get a puppy because it looks cute

or because you feel sorry for it.

Make sure they are happy to play with you, they look healthy,

with bright, clear eyes, shiny fur, and they should be running around

playing with their toys.

If the breeder doesn't let you see the mum or doesn't answer

all of your questions, the best thing to do is always

walk away because there are lots of responsible breeders out

there who will let you visit as many times as you want

and they will answer all of your questions for you.

Today, a group of MPs will meet in Parliament to talk about

the current puppy farming problem.

It's hoped more can be done to make sure all puppies can

start their lives in a happy and healthy way.

Andy Murray has a battle on his hands to avoid being knocked

out in the first round of the French Open.

When bad light stopped play, he was two sets to one down

against Radek Stepanek.

That match will resume later, but Britain's Kyle Edmund

is already through.

Now, how do you feel about tidying up?

Maybe you quite like it or perhaps you just hate it.

But if you don't enjoy it, there might be a way

of making it more fun.

Two school teachers in London have made a song that's become a hit

in classrooms around the world. Ayshah's got more.

There is nothing better than playing and making a mess but someone always

has to tidy up afterwards.

And here at this school in London, this is how they do it.

TAMBOURINE RATTLES Right, Tidy Up Rhumba time!

CHEERING # Pick up the pens # Put them in the pots # Don't forget

the lids # We put them back on.

They play a Tidy Up Rhumba song that tells them what to do.

It helps you tidy up.

Do you like the Tidy Up Rhumba?

Yes. Why do you like the Tidy Up Rhumba?

Because it tells us what to do.

# In your chairs # Nicely away # All the resources back in the tray!

The song was written by two primary school teachers as a way

to get their classrooms tidy.

# Pick up the pens # Put them in the box.

It has now been viewed more than 2 million times on YouTube.

When it got to a million, I was like, jaw-dropping,

completely shocked.

I couldn't believe it and I was thinking, there

is something here in this song.

# Shaky, shaky, stop. # Shake it until you drop.

Christalla and George said they hope the song will help children

have fun keeping their classrooms and homes tidy.

# Tidy up. Rhumba!

# Tidy up!

Now, can you guess what this little fella is?

That's right, it's a water vole.

Numbers of water voles have fallen by around 90% in the last 30 years.

Now a team in Worcestershire in England are trying to help

by slowing the flow of the water in the brook where they live

and giving them more protection from predators.

It is really important.

Numbers have declined hugely in recent years

and what we want to do is improve the habitat so their

numbers can rise.

They are a mammal, they breed really well.

It is the fact that we haven't got the habitat and we have got

the predation and we need to work on projects like this

to improve the numbers.

That's all from me, Newsround's back right

here in about half an hour.

See you soon.
