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