Hi, I'm Martin with Newsround on Saturday morning.

:00:14.:00:15.

You may notice we're a bit different today.

:00:16.:00:18.

We're getting a new studio, but while its being built, we're here.

:00:19.:00:22.

The women's rugby team face world number one New Zealand

:00:23.:00:29.

Captain Sarah Hunter spoke to us yesterday.

:00:30.:00:35.

We have to step up and we said that all along through the competition.

:00:36.:00:43.

Right from day one this squad came together. Every time we step onto

:00:44.:00:46.

the field we have to be better than we were. Job one, first and foremost

:00:47.:00:56.

is to play the 80 minutes and the best game we can. Tomorrow is the

:00:57.:01:00.

biggest challenge. We have to bring our biggest game for it.

:01:01.:01:02.

The state of Texas in America has been hit by a huge hurricane.

:01:03.:01:05.

It's expected to be the worst to hit the US mainland in 12 years.

:01:06.:01:08.

Hurricane Harvey's caused heavy flooding with winds of up to 130mph.

:01:09.:01:11.

Thousands of people have had to leave their homes.

:01:12.:01:13.

Next up, there's a big argument happening about whether you should

:01:14.:01:16.

South Africa's home to more rhinos than anywhere else in the world, but

:01:17.:01:31.

they have a huge problem. Poaching is out of control in this country.

:01:32.:01:36.

That's where these amazing animals are killed for their horns. Buying

:01:37.:01:41.

and selling rhino horn between countries has been against the law

:01:42.:01:46.

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

:01:47.:01:55.

in that country. As of today, I have 1,536 rhinos. This is John. He has a

:01:56.:02:01.

lot of rhinos and thinks he should be able to sell their horns. I

:02:02.:02:08.

firmly believe that this is the way to save rhinos from extinction. On

:02:09.:02:15.

his land, he removes the rhinos' horn safely. This rhino has been

:02:16.:02:20.

sent to sleep safely by a vet. Then the horn is removed. It doesn't hurt

:02:21.:02:25.

the animal because it's done by a professional and it grows back. Some

:02:26.:02:29.

conservationists don't agree this is the best way to protect rhinos.

:02:30.:02:39.

There's no sign that it will curb poaching whatsoever. Both sides will

:02:40.:02:42.

be watching this very closely. If rhino numbers go up, people like

:02:43.:02:46.

John will be happy and more sales like this might go ahead in the

:02:47.:02:50.

future. If rhino numbers keep going down, conservationists will say more

:02:51.:02:54.

needs to be done to protect this species and the rules need to be

:02:55.:02:55.

stricter.

:02:56.:02:57.
