:00:09. > :00:14.Hi, I'm Ayshah with your evening update. First, here in the UK, the

:00:15. > :00:17.arrival of a new baby is usually a time of happiness and celebration.

:00:18. > :00:21.But in many poorer countries around the world, it can be a totally

:00:22. > :00:25.different story. Giving birth can be a fight for survival, for both

:00:26. > :00:28.mother and child, because of a lack of proper health care. The charity

:00:29. > :00:31.Save The Children is calling on world leaders to do more to give

:00:32. > :00:36.mothers and babies in poorer countries a better chance. One of

:00:37. > :00:40.the world's most dangerous places to give birth is South Sudan in Africa.

:00:41. > :00:49.BBC reporter Anne Soy sent us this report from there. I am in a

:00:50. > :00:55.hospital in south Sudan which is a country in Africa. This is the ward

:00:56. > :01:01.where there are new mothers, this mother had her baby a few days ago.

:01:02. > :01:06.These are the lucky ones because in this country, not many mothers are

:01:07. > :01:10.able to go to hospital in time to have babies safely. Not like in the

:01:11. > :01:15.UK, where if you are sick, you get an ambulance to pick you up from

:01:16. > :01:20.home. There are no ambulances here, and the roads are bad. Sometimes

:01:21. > :01:23.women will have to walk for even days through the bush to get to

:01:24. > :01:31.hospital. The charity Save The Children wants world leaders to let

:01:32. > :01:38.people -- more people go to college so that they can learn to deliver

:01:39. > :01:41.baby safely. Next a leopard on the loose has sparked panic in the city

:01:42. > :01:44.of Meerut in Northern India. Officials are still trying to track

:01:45. > :01:49.down the beast. The leopard was spotted in a hospital. But wildlife

:01:50. > :01:53.experts were not able to catch it. As our towns and cities grow,

:01:54. > :02:00.animals and people are likely to cross paths more and more. As cities

:02:01. > :02:04.expand, they get closer to the natural habitat and certain animals

:02:05. > :02:10.are drawn there by potential food sources, such as foxes in London.

:02:11. > :02:14.Animals will come into the cities, drawn by the food sources. There are

:02:15. > :02:19.small things we can do to reduce that, looking after rubbish bins

:02:20. > :02:24.better, and making sure things are put away. The animals coming there

:02:25. > :02:29.in the first place. I cannot say it is fine to live with an elephant

:02:30. > :02:36.around your house. There are millions of people around the world

:02:37. > :02:39.who have to do that. And last. Some super-cute news, check out at this

:02:40. > :02:42.baby Humboldt penguin. The little fellow was born two months early

:02:43. > :02:46.because of the milder weather this winter. So now staff at London Zoo

:02:47. > :02:52.are having to take extra care of him. He is much smaller than your

:02:53. > :02:55.average penguin chick and he still doesn't have a name, but his keepers

:02:56. > :02:59.say that hasn't stopped him making a lot of noise. That's all from me,

:03:00. > :03:00.Newsround is back in the morning.
