:00:14. > :00:15.Hi, I'm Martin with Newsround on Saturday morning.

:00:16. > :00:18.You may notice we're a bit different today.

:00:19. > :00:22.We're getting a new studio, but while its being built, we're here.

:00:23. > :00:29.The women's rugby team face world number one New Zealand

:00:30. > :00:35.Captain Sarah Hunter spoke to us yesterday.

:00:36. > :00:43.We have to step up and we said that all along through the competition.

:00:44. > :00:46.Right from day one this squad came together. Every time we step onto

:00:47. > :00:56.the field we have to be better than we were. Job one, first and foremost

:00:57. > :01:00.is to play the 80 minutes and the best game we can. Tomorrow is the

:01:01. > :01:02.biggest challenge. We have to bring our biggest game for it.

:01:03. > :01:05.The state of Texas in America has been hit by a huge hurricane.

:01:06. > :01:08.It's expected to be the worst to hit the US mainland in 12 years.

:01:09. > :01:11.Hurricane Harvey's caused heavy flooding with winds of up to 130mph.

:01:12. > :01:13.Thousands of people have had to leave their homes.

:01:14. > :01:16.Next up, there's a big argument happening about whether you should

:01:17. > :01:31.South Africa's home to more rhinos than anywhere else in the world, but

:01:32. > :01:36.they have a huge problem. Poaching is out of control in this country.

:01:37. > :01:41.That's where these amazing animals are killed for their horns. Buying

:01:42. > :01:46.and selling rhino horn between countries has been against the law

:01:47. > :01:55.since 1977. In South Africa, a judge has said it's OK for them to be sold

:01:56. > :02:01.in that country. As of today, I have 1,536 rhinos. This is John. He has a

:02:02. > :02:08.lot of rhinos and thinks he should be able to sell their horns. I

:02:09. > :02:15.firmly believe that this is the way to save rhinos from extinction. On

:02:16. > :02:20.his land, he removes the rhinos' horn safely. This rhino has been

:02:21. > :02:25.sent to sleep safely by a vet. Then the horn is removed. It doesn't hurt

:02:26. > :02:29.the animal because it's done by a professional and it grows back. Some

:02:30. > :02:39.conservationists don't agree this is the best way to protect rhinos.

:02:40. > :02:42.There's no sign that it will curb poaching whatsoever. Both sides will

:02:43. > :02:46.be watching this very closely. If rhino numbers go up, people like

:02:47. > :02:50.John will be happy and more sales like this might go ahead in the

:02:51. > :02:54.future. If rhino numbers keep going down, conservationists will say more

:02:55. > :02:55.needs to be done to protect this species and the rules need to be

:02:56. > :02:57.stricter.
