0:00:03 > 0:00:04Good morning.

0:00:04 > 0:00:06I'm Hayley with all the latest stories.

0:00:06 > 0:00:08Here's what's coming up.

0:00:08 > 0:00:13How virtual reality is bringing a disaster zone to life.

0:00:13 > 0:00:17And how you train a search and rescue dog.

0:00:27 > 0:00:28First this morning, junior doctors across England aren't turning up

0:00:29 > 0:00:32to work today and tomorrow.

0:00:32 > 0:00:35They are striking because they can't agree with the government over

0:00:35 > 0:00:37changes to pay and working hours.

0:00:37 > 0:00:40It's the fifth strike this year and the first to affect accident

0:00:40 > 0:00:42and emergency departments.

0:00:42 > 0:00:45More senior doctors are stepping in to make sure those

0:00:45 > 0:00:49who need care can get it.

0:00:49 > 0:00:52Imagine a city left deserted for 30 years.

0:00:52 > 0:00:54Well that's what happened after a nuclear disaster

0:00:54 > 0:00:57in Ukraine in Eastern Europe.

0:00:57 > 0:01:00Scientists have spent a week inside the exclusion zone,

0:01:00 > 0:01:04where nobody lives, taking pictures.

0:01:04 > 0:01:07So now everyone can experience a virtual look around the Chernobyl

0:01:07 > 0:01:10nuclear power plant.

0:01:10 > 0:01:13Leah's been having a look.

0:01:13 > 0:01:15The Six O'Clock News from the BBC.

0:01:15 > 0:01:19The cloud of radiation from Chernobyl power station.

0:01:19 > 0:01:23It was the world's worst ever nuclear accident.

0:01:23 > 0:01:2830 years ago, part of the Chernobyl nuclear power plant exploded.

0:01:28 > 0:01:31It released harmful radiation into the air

0:01:31 > 0:01:35in Ukraine in Eastern Europe.

0:01:35 > 0:01:38People can't touch, smell or even taste radiation but if there's

0:01:38 > 0:01:43lots of it around someone, it can be dangerous.

0:01:43 > 0:01:47This material was spread for miles and nearly 100,000 people had

0:01:47 > 0:01:49to leave their homes because of the danger

0:01:49 > 0:01:51to their health.

0:01:51 > 0:01:54A large no-go zone was set up in the area to stop people

0:01:54 > 0:01:59from staying there and Chernobyl became a ghost town.

0:01:59 > 0:02:02Even now people aren't allowed to live there.

0:02:02 > 0:02:06And now kids from across the UK are getting the chance to see

0:02:06 > 0:02:10what life is like inside the disaster zone now using one

0:02:10 > 0:02:15of those, a virtual reality headset and it's not what you think.

0:02:15 > 0:02:17I also saw a few animals that walked around.

0:02:17 > 0:02:19The buildings.

0:02:19 > 0:02:22Different animals, different trees, they changed all the time.

0:02:22 > 0:02:24What did you make of it?

0:02:24 > 0:02:26I thought it was very interesting and very fun.

0:02:26 > 0:02:28It's very realistic and it's quite interesting to see

0:02:28 > 0:02:32all the different sites.

0:02:32 > 0:02:35As I was looking around, I turned around and I saw a bear

0:02:35 > 0:02:36and that really shocked me.

0:02:36 > 0:02:39It's really interesting and everyone should know about it because it's

0:02:39 > 0:02:41a disaster as well.

0:02:41 > 0:02:42It's really good.

0:02:42 > 0:02:45It's an amazing experience.

0:02:45 > 0:02:47It actually felt like I was there.

0:02:47 > 0:02:50Although people were forced to leave because of the radiation,

0:02:50 > 0:02:54the area's wild animal population is booming.

0:02:54 > 0:02:57It's now home to wolves, wild horses and wild boar.

0:02:57 > 0:03:00It was just remarkable to see how much is there.

0:03:00 > 0:03:03The wildlife is thriving, and we thought that after this

0:03:03 > 0:03:05fallout that it would be to the complete

0:03:05 > 0:03:07detriment of animals.

0:03:07 > 0:03:09Virtual reality is a game changer for scientists because it just

0:03:09 > 0:03:11allows people to come into the places where

0:03:11 > 0:03:15they were which otherwise wouldn't be possible.

0:03:15 > 0:03:19Chernobyl will be too dangerous to live in for hundreds of years

0:03:19 > 0:03:21but, with virtual reality, people can catch a glimpse

0:03:21 > 0:03:25of the life returning in the area.

0:03:28 > 0:03:31Leicester will win the Premier League title if they beat

0:03:31 > 0:03:33Manchester United on Sunday.

0:03:33 > 0:03:36It's after main rivals Tottenham could only manage a draw

0:03:36 > 0:03:40against West Brom last night.

0:03:40 > 0:03:41Craig Dawson equalised in the second-half after netting

0:03:41 > 0:03:44an own goal in the first.

0:03:44 > 0:03:49It means Spurs are now seven points behind the Foxes.

0:03:49 > 0:03:52It's been just over a year since the first of two powerful

0:03:52 > 0:03:55earthquakes struck Nepal in south Asia.

0:03:55 > 0:03:57The UK has played a big part in helping people

0:03:57 > 0:03:59there rebuild their lives.

0:03:59 > 0:04:04Part of that has included sending out British search and rescue dogs

0:04:04 > 0:04:08and Martin's been along to meet them.

0:04:08 > 0:04:10Nepal's capital city Kathmandu looked like this

0:04:10 > 0:04:13after the second earthquake hit.

0:04:13 > 0:04:18It had a magnitude of 7.8, which means it was very strong.

0:04:18 > 0:04:21The UK sent a huge amount of highly trained search and rescue

0:04:21 > 0:04:25teams to help, including doctors and firefighters.

0:04:25 > 0:04:27Their jobs were to provide first aid, carry out searches

0:04:27 > 0:04:30and stabilise buildings.

0:04:30 > 0:04:34And it wasn't just us humans doing the work.

0:04:34 > 0:04:38Specialist search dogs like this one also played a big part.

0:04:38 > 0:04:40I've come to this fire station in Birmingham cos this

0:04:40 > 0:04:47is where these amazing animals are trained to become rescue dogs.

0:04:48 > 0:04:50It has to have certain elements.

0:04:50 > 0:04:52It has to be very focused.

0:04:52 > 0:04:55It has to have a lot of drive.

0:04:55 > 0:04:58Those are some of the main points that we look for to convert a normal

0:04:58 > 0:05:02dog into a specialist search and rescue dog.

0:05:02 > 0:05:05Just one big game of hide and seek where the dog goes out looking

0:05:05 > 0:05:09for somebody who has a squeaky ball or a toy.

0:05:09 > 0:05:11Once they find them, they have to bark and once that

0:05:11 > 0:05:14happens, they then get delivered the toy.

0:05:14 > 0:05:16Can any dog become a rescue dog?

0:05:16 > 0:05:18Not really.

0:05:18 > 0:05:21I use border collies.

0:05:21 > 0:05:23Within the UK Fire and Rescue Service team we have labradors,

0:05:23 > 0:05:25we have springer spaniels.

0:05:25 > 0:05:27We've had German Shepherds as well.

0:05:27 > 0:05:32So it tends to go down the route of the working breed dog.

0:05:32 > 0:05:35Isn't it great that we have dogs like Diesel here making sure

0:05:35 > 0:05:37that the people who live in the affected areas

0:05:37 > 0:05:40have a bright future?

0:05:40 > 0:05:42Good job.

0:05:42 > 0:05:44And now to a rescue story of a different kind.

0:05:44 > 0:05:47These tiny ducklings have been rescued from a drain by firefighters

0:05:47 > 0:05:50in the American state of Oklahoma.

0:05:50 > 0:05:53After some good teamwork, the little cuties were safely

0:05:53 > 0:05:54reunited with their mum.

0:05:54 > 0:05:55Well, done guys.

0:05:55 > 0:05:56That's all from me.

0:05:56 > 0:05:57Newsround's back at 4.20pm.

0:05:57 > 0:06:00Bye!
