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
