Jenny here with news of the Premier League's first ?60 million

The festival where only redheads are allowed.

And... Hello, I am Steve Backshall, keep watching new phone to find out

why I am swapping the jungle for some tap shoes.

First up, there's a warning that some of the world's

rarest bird might not survive unless a new home can be found for them.

The Madagascan pochard lives on a single lake in Madagascar,

but destruction of their habitat means there's just 25 of them left.

British bird experts say the lake doesn't have enough food

They say they need moving soon to preserve the species.

Next to a massive sink hole that's appeared, from nowhere. A farmer in

County Durham in the North East of England, discovered this giant gap

in one of his fields. It opened up after an underground mine collapsed,

and he says he's worried it could get even bigger.

The rumbling from 200 feet down and crashing great lumps of stuff

falling in the it was quite frightening.

Moving on, the British flyboarding champion has told Newsround that

the super-cool sport is something kids can get involved in.

It's a mix between jetskiing and flying and a whole host of celebs

Ayshah tried it out too and chatted to Andrew Hickey about the appeal.

It is such a unique experience. Everyone in the world wants to have

a go at flying at some point, you dream about it as a kid and now it

is a possibility. It is something kids would want to get into at some

point. We have but kid in America who is actually ranked fourth in the

world and that has opened up a pathway for kids to have a go. That

looks awesome! If you were watching yesterday

you'll have heard CBBC star Steve Backshall announce that he's the

latest celeb to sign up for the new series of Strictly Come Dancing.

So, how's his foxtrot? And who persuaded him to do it?

Martin's been getting the answers. First of all, I could not say no, my

mum and sister would never have spoken to me again. More than

anything, it is that I have always been very driven by challenges and

buy things that frighten me. How good is your dancing?

Well, I don't really know. I have never really danced. I could get

started and find out I have two left feet. Have you always been a fan of

the show? I spent all of my time away.

This year I have been to the Antarctic and I don't get to sleep

at all. I have seen snippets, I'm pretty sure everyone in the country

has, but I am about to see more than any human being could wish to see of

this programme, I will immerse myself in it. How do you feel about

that? I am pretty sure they will not be

any dresses, I hope! I had my first costume fitting the

other day and they got out of old the lycra and the Lycra and I caught

sight of myself in the mirror and all I could do was giggle.

What is more scary - going face-to-face with a great white

shark or dancing on stage? This is no comparison, it could go

spectacularly wrong. I could get so badly humiliated

here. Not everyone has been announced yet, but so far who do you

think your biggest competition is? I cannot be any better than the best

I can be regardless of anyone else, so I am just focusing on my own

skills, training and ability. Thank you very much for talking to me,

good luck with the show. You are very welcome.

In footy, Manchester United have agreed a British transfer record

of nearly ?60 million for Real Madrid winger, Angel di Mari.

On the pitch Man City dominated in the battle of last season's top

Their manager said it was a big win. two goals from Stevan Jovetic.

Their manager said it was a big win. Especially when you play at home, it

is this very important not to drop points against a big team.

is this very important not to drop this is a big team and is a keen

that will be fighting for the title during the year.

A festival just for people with red hair has been

held in County Cork in Ireland. The Irish Redhead Convention is

a celebration of all things ginger and visitors get to play carrot

tossing, and could even be crowned king or queen of the redheads.

You hear so many stories of families and kids who have been picked on,

and it is really sad to see that, but that is what is nice about this

event, you are empowering young kids to feel proud of who they are and

their uniqueness. That's all from me, Newsround's

back right here at 4:20pm.
