Good morning.

I'm Jenny,

live with all the top stories this Thursday.

Coming up in the next few minutes.

Rooney hangs up his England boots.

The giant samosa that has smashed records.

First up, massive news for England fans, as former

captain Wayne Rooney retired from international

football yesterday.

Here's everything you need to know.

COMMENTATOR: It is, of course, the captain Wayne Rooney.

And Rooney scores!

Wayne Rooney made a shock announcement yesterday

afternoon he was calling time on his international career.

England manager Gareth Southgate had recalled striker for next month's

World Cup qualifiers but Rooney said he believes now is the time to bow

out, making what he calls a really tough decision.

I think it definitely was a surprise because Wayne Rooney has just hit

top form since returning to his boyhood club Everton but,

at 31 years old, he says he wants to concentrate on bringing success

to Everton and, unfortunately, he has to sacrifice his England career.

Rooney has been an England player for 14 years, longer than some

of you have been alive.

He first played when he was a teenager aged

17 years and 111 days.

At the time, he was the youngest player ever to play for England.

COMMENTATOR: And Rooney's shot!

Oh, fabulous!

He was made captain in 2014 by the manager at the time

Roy Hodgson and he led the team into Euro 2016 last year.

But they were knocked out by Iceland in a shock defeat.

Rooney has had some ups and downs during his England career and admits

one of his regrets is never having won a tournament with the team.

But he steps down as England's record scorer with 53 goals

and the most capped outfield player ever with 119 appearances.

And, having scored his 200th Premier League goal just the other

night, it's not the last we've seen of Wayne Rooney on a football pitch.

Well, there is loads more on Rooney at Newsround online,

where you can take a look at the highs and lows

of his England career.

Next up, there's a big argument happening about whether you should

be allowed to sell rhino horn.

Ayshah has this report.

South Africa is home to more rhino than anywhere else in the world

but they have a huge problem.

Poaching is out of control in this country.

That's where these amazing animals are killed for their horns.

Buying and selling rhino horn between countries has been

against the law since 1977.

In South Africa, a judge has said it's OK for them to be

sold in that country.

As of today, I have 1,536 rhinos.

This is John Hume.

He has a lot of rhinos and thinks he should be able

to sell their horns.

I firmly believe that this is the way to save rhinos from extinction.

On his land he removes the rhinos' horn safely.

This rhino has been sent to sleep for a short time by a vet and then

the horn is removed but it doesn't have the animal because it's done

the horn is removed but it doesn't hurt the animal because it's done

by a professional and it grows back.

But some conservationists don't agree that this is the best

way to protect rhinos.

There's been absolutely no evidence shown that trade will curb rhino

poaching whatsoever and there's very little evidence to show that

trading could ever curb poaching of an animal.

Both sides will be watching this sale very closely.

If rhino numbers go up then people like John will be happy and more

sales like this might go ahead in the future, but if rhino

numbers keep going down, then conservationists will say more

needs to be done to protect the species and the rules

need to be stricter.

Next, to the cinema where you can take your dog!

Every six weeks there's dog friendly screenings shown

at this cinema in London.

They're hoping to encourage dogs and their owners to watch films

together but movies with loud noises and barking in are off limits,

so they don't unsettle the dogs.

OK, the world record for the largest samosa was smashed

in London yesterday.

12 volunteers cooked the giant snack at an East London mosque.

It weighed more than 153 kilograms!

Huge!

It was then cut up into hundreds of portions and given

to local homeless people.

A Guinness World Records spokesperson described the samosa

as an impressive achievement.

I agree.

That's all for now.

Newsround's back right here at 8.15.

more, including our fantastic quiz of the week.

Quick hint - question two can be very prickly.

See ya!
