:00:00. > :00:13.Afternoon, guys. I'm Ayshah with your after-school headlines. Coming
:00:14. > :00:16.your way in the next five: people have been honking their horns and
:00:17. > :00:20.taking pictures. How it feels to be a Sochi superstar back on home soil.
:00:21. > :00:26.And one of the cutest penguin chicks you'll ever see. This is Newsround.
:00:27. > :00:31.First, the arrival of a new baby is usually a time of happiness and
:00:32. > :00:33.celebration here in the UK. But in many poorer countries around the
:00:34. > :00:38.world, it can be a totally different story. Giving birth can be a fight
:00:39. > :00:42.for survival for both mother and child because of a lack of proper
:00:43. > :00:45.health care. The charity Save The Children is calling on world leaders
:00:46. > :00:49.to do more to give mothers and babies in poorer countries a better
:00:50. > :00:53.chance. One of the world's most dangerous places to give birth is
:00:54. > :00:58.South Sudan in Africa, as Ricky's been finding out.
:00:59. > :01:03.In scorching 37 degree Celsius heat, a group of pregnant women are
:01:04. > :01:06.walking to their baby class. This midwife who helps to deliver babies
:01:07. > :01:11.is teaching them about staying healthy and taking care of their
:01:12. > :01:17.newborns. She's one of just 300 midwives in South Sudan. In the UK,
:01:18. > :01:20.we have around 40,000. But the charity Save The Children is working
:01:21. > :01:24.to help change things. The BBC's George Alagiah has been to a
:01:25. > :01:33.hospital which offers health care to mothers and babies. To our eyes, it
:01:34. > :01:36.may not look like much but this hospital really has an incredibly
:01:37. > :01:41.good record when it comes to looking after mothers and their children.
:01:42. > :01:45.That is not the case elsewhere in this country. Nearly half of all
:01:46. > :01:50.pregnant women never get anywhere near a clinic. They deliver their
:01:51. > :01:54.babies entirely on their own without any skilled assistance. Here it is
:01:55. > :01:58.an entirely different story. They have something like ten midwives
:01:59. > :02:03.here. There are only 300 in the whole country. This hospital saves
:02:04. > :02:09.lives for mothers and babies but that is not the case for the rest of
:02:10. > :02:18.South Sudan or the world. We need midwives available at every birth so
:02:19. > :02:21.that no mother gives birth alone. We know it can be done and if it can be
:02:22. > :02:24.done here in South Sudan it can be done around the world. There is good
:02:25. > :02:28.news. Progress is being made around the world. These days many more
:02:29. > :02:31.children are living past their fifth birthday than was the case 20 years
:02:32. > :02:34.ago. That's down to things like more vaccinations and better treatments
:02:35. > :02:38.for deadly diseases. It's hoped more can be done to give more kids
:02:39. > :02:42.everywhere the best start in life. Next, a leopard on the loose has
:02:43. > :02:44.sparked panic in the city of Meerut in Northern India. Schools were
:02:45. > :02:49.closed yesterday and officials are still trying to track down the
:02:50. > :02:51.beast. The leopard was spotted in a hospital, but wildlife experts
:02:52. > :02:55.weren't able to catch it. This isn't the first time wild animals have
:02:56. > :02:58.invaded places where people live and as the world's towns and cities
:02:59. > :03:09.grow, it's likely to happen more and more. Humanity is encroaching on the
:03:10. > :03:15.habitat of lots of wildlife. Leopards, lions, tigers. There is
:03:16. > :03:19.far less space for them to live. They are bound to interact much more
:03:20. > :03:25.with people by coming to villages and into towns so it is bound to
:03:26. > :03:29.happen. Even here in the UK. We hear stories about urban foxes and even
:03:30. > :03:35.here in Manchester in the city centre we have had reports of
:03:36. > :03:38.otters, wild mink, and peregrines nesting in a city centre building.
:03:39. > :03:41.Sport now and Team GB's Winter Olympic athletes have returned to
:03:42. > :03:44.the UK for a hero's welcome. They visited Downing Street where they
:03:45. > :03:47.were congratulated by the Prime Minister for beating their target of
:03:48. > :03:50.three medals by finishing with four, the best British result at the
:03:51. > :03:56.Winter Games for 90 years. Olympic skeleton champion Lizzy Yarnold won
:03:57. > :04:03.the only gold. And it sounds like she still can't believe it's real.
:04:04. > :04:06.It has been a great day and a great week. I can't really believe it has
:04:07. > :04:11.all happened but I have the gold medal round my neck so I have got to
:04:12. > :04:15.be sure. It is great. People are driving past and taking pictures,
:04:16. > :04:19.honking their horns. It is nice to share it with everyone back in
:04:20. > :04:24.Britain. Every time I slide I have to be aware of what I am doing,
:04:25. > :04:29.travelling at 90 mph. I put my helmet on and I am in competition
:04:30. > :04:33.mode and ready And you can hear more from Team GB over on the website. To
:04:34. > :04:38.go. From super humans to super cute now.
:04:39. > :04:41.Take a look at this baby Humboldt penguin. The little fellow was born
:04:42. > :04:45.two months early because of the milder weather this winter, so now
:04:46. > :04:48.staff at London Zoo are having to take extra special care of him. He's
:04:49. > :04:51.much smaller than your average penguin chick and he still doesn't
:04:52. > :04:56.have a name but that hasn't stopped him making his presence felt. That's
:04:57. > :05:00.it. We're back at 6:50. Goodbye.
