Hi, I'm Ayshah with your evening update. First, here in the UK, the

:00:09.:00:14.

arrival of a new baby is usually a time of happiness and celebration.

:00:15.:00:17.

But in many poorer countries around the world, it can be a totally

:00:18.:00:21.

different story. Giving birth can be a fight for survival, for both

:00:22.:00:25.

mother and child, because of a lack of proper health care. The charity

:00:26.:00:28.

Save The Children is calling on world leaders to do more to give

:00:29.:00:31.

mothers and babies in poorer countries a better chance. One of

:00:32.:00:36.

the world's most dangerous places to give birth is South Sudan in Africa.

:00:37.:00:40.

BBC reporter Anne Soy sent us this report from there. I am in a

:00:41.:00:49.

hospital in south Sudan which is a country in Africa. This is the ward

:00:50.:00:55.

where there are new mothers, this mother had her baby a few days ago.

:00:56.:01:01.

These are the lucky ones because in this country, not many mothers are

:01:02.:01:06.

able to go to hospital in time to have babies safely. Not like in the

:01:07.:01:10.

UK, where if you are sick, you get an ambulance to pick you up from

:01:11.:01:15.

home. There are no ambulances here, and the roads are bad. Sometimes

:01:16.:01:20.

women will have to walk for even days through the bush to get to

:01:21.:01:23.

hospital. The charity Save The Children wants world leaders to let

:01:24.:01:31.

people -- more people go to college so that they can learn to deliver

:01:32.:01:38.

baby safely. Next a leopard on the loose has sparked panic in the city

:01:39.:01:41.

of Meerut in Northern India. Officials are still trying to track

:01:42.:01:44.

down the beast. The leopard was spotted in a hospital. But wildlife

:01:45.:01:49.

experts were not able to catch it. As our towns and cities grow,

:01:50.:01:53.

animals and people are likely to cross paths more and more. As cities

:01:54.:02:00.

expand, they get closer to the natural habitat and certain animals

:02:01.:02:04.

are drawn there by potential food sources, such as foxes in London.

:02:05.:02:10.

Animals will come into the cities, drawn by the food sources. There are

:02:11.:02:14.

small things we can do to reduce that, looking after rubbish bins

:02:15.:02:19.

better, and making sure things are put away. The animals coming there

:02:20.:02:24.

in the first place. I cannot say it is fine to live with an elephant

:02:25.:02:29.

around your house. There are millions of people around the world

:02:30.:02:36.

who have to do that. And last. Some super-cute news, check out at this

:02:37.:02:39.

baby Humboldt penguin. The little fellow was born two months early

:02:40.:02:42.

because of the milder weather this winter. So now staff at London Zoo

:02:43.:02:46.

are having to take extra care of him. He is much smaller than your

:02:47.:02:52.

average penguin chick and he still doesn't have a name, but his keepers

:02:53.:02:55.

say that hasn't stopped him making a lot of noise. That's all from me,

:02:56.:02:59.

Newsround is back in the morning.
