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. | :03:00. | :03:00. |
