Good afternoon news fans, I'm Joe and here's what's coming up... | :00:11. | :00:16. | |
out why more pets are being abandoned over the summer. | :00:16. | :00:18. | |
After yesterday's shockers, we're live at Wimbledon for today's top | :00:18. | :00:20. | |
tennis. Can Laura Robson do it? | :00:20. | :00:26. | |
This is Newsround. Don't we just love our pets, or do | :00:26. | :00:29. | |
The RSCPA has released figures showing that us jetting off on our | :00:29. | :00:32. | |
summer holidays could be the reason for thousands more pets being | :00:32. | :00:35. | |
abandoned every year. The charity says the number of | :00:35. | :00:37. | |
dumped animals is the highest for six years. | :00:37. | :00:47. | |
Over to Martin and his new friends. This is two kit.sfound in a school | :00:47. | :00:52. | |
playground five days ago. The RSPCA say more pets like these have been | :00:52. | :00:57. | |
found abandoned in England and Wales. In 2011 they reported more | :00:57. | :01:02. | |
than 28,000 abandoned pets. In 2012 that had shot up to more than | :01:03. | :01:07. | |
37,000. Because many of them were dumped in the summer months, the | :01:07. | :01:11. | |
RSPCA think a lot of it is down to owners not wanting to pay out for | :01:11. | :01:19. | |
Ken ets or cateries when they go on holiday. Times are hard. Now there | :01:19. | :01:23. | |
is a pressure on people's personal finances. If you are going away | :01:23. | :01:30. | |
don't dump your pet, cancel the holiday rather than doing something | :01:30. | :01:34. | |
like that. What should owners do if they can't take care of their pets? | :01:34. | :01:39. | |
If you have a pet and can't afford vet fees, for example, seek help | :01:39. | :01:45. | |
from a charity like the RSPCA. Do the things that will help prevent | :01:45. | :01:49. | |
disease, vaccination, worming, flea treatment. Prevention is better than | :01:49. | :01:59. | |
:01:59. | :02:00. | ||
cure. To put a cat in a cater why I it costs �8, dog kennels, �10-�10. | :02:00. | :02:05. | |
Rabbits cost �3. These two will find a new home, the RSPCA are hoping | :02:05. | :02:11. | |
people will think more about their pets before they get on that plane. | :02:11. | :02:15. | |
Next, huge crowds are gathering outside a hospital in South Africa, | :02:15. | :02:16. | |
where the country's former President, Nelson Mandela, remains | :02:16. | :02:18. | |
critically ill. The 94-year-old has been receiving | :02:18. | :02:21. | |
treatment for a lung infection for nearly three weeks. | :02:21. | :02:23. | |
His family have been visiting him at the hospital in Pretoria. | :02:23. | :02:26. | |
Nelson Mandela is one of the world's most respected figures for his work | :02:26. | :02:29. | |
in ridding South Africa of a system which treated black people as much | :02:29. | :02:38. | |
less important than white people. The BBC's Karen Allen sent us this | :02:38. | :02:48. | |
:02:48. | :02:57. | ||
get well soon." Ta Ta means "father." We have balloons brought | :02:57. | :03:03. | |
here. Even a teddy bear. Lots of photographs of Nelson Mandela. We | :03:03. | :03:08. | |
are seeing groups of children with their faces painted with the words | :03:08. | :03:11. | |
"Nelson Mandela" on the side. That gives you a sense of how much, | :03:11. | :03:14. | |
whether you are young or old in South Africa, Nelson Mandela is | :03:14. | :03:19. | |
considered to be the father of the nation. | :03:19. | :03:21. | |
Now, after Wimbledon's so-called 'Withdrawal Wednesday' - which saw | :03:22. | :03:25. | |
seven players pulling out with injuries - and the shocking loss of | :03:25. | :03:27. | |
defending champ Roger Federer, will it be a Thrilling Thursday for | :03:27. | :03:32. | |
Britain's female number one Laura Robson? | :03:32. | :03:35. | |
She faces Mariana Erakovic from Colombia later in the second round. | :03:35. | :03:39. | |
BBC Sport reporter John Watson joins us live from Wimbledon. What do you | :03:39. | :03:44. | |
reckon to Laura's chances? They are pretty good. She played in her last | :03:44. | :03:49. | |
match. She beat one of the top seeds there. She could be a top 10 player | :03:49. | :03:54. | |
in the future. She has to fancies her chances going into today's | :03:54. | :03:57. | |
match. People pulled out yesterday because of what they are say | :03:57. | :04:03. | |
something a slippery surface. What is the latest? No players today seem | :04:03. | :04:07. | |
to be slipping as much as they were yesterday. Maria Sharapova and | :04:07. | :04:11. | |
Victoria Azarenka complained that the courts were slippy. Wimbledon, | :04:11. | :04:15. | |
the organisers, had toe respond saying they have done nothing | :04:15. | :04:25. | |
differently to the courts than they have done in previous injuries. | :04:25. | :04:29. | |
are Andy Murray's chances now Nadal and Federer are gone? Really good | :04:29. | :04:34. | |
for Andy Murray. He is playing well. No Roger Federer or Rafael Nadal. He | :04:34. | :04:38. | |
would have had to play one of those to make it through to the final. | :04:38. | :04:41. | |
With them out and the players left in the draw, Andy Murray is probably | :04:41. | :04:45. | |
the favourite. Let us hope this could be Andy Murray's year. Fingers | :04:45. | :04:51. |
