Happy Monday! | 0:00:03 | 0:00:04 | |
I'm Jenny, this is Newsround, and we are live with all the news | 0:00:04 | 0:00:08 | |
you need to know. | 0:00:08 | 0:00:09 | |
Keep watching to find out. | 0:00:09 | 0:00:11 | |
How Leicester City are winning new fans from far afield, | 0:00:11 | 0:00:13 | |
and... | 0:00:13 | 0:00:15 | |
The less-than-cute animals who are missing out. | 0:00:15 | 0:00:17 | |
It's Newsround. | 0:00:17 | 0:00:20 | |
First, a storm that's been named Katie has been battering large | 0:00:27 | 0:00:30 | |
parts of England and Wales, last night and throughout | 0:00:30 | 0:00:32 | |
the day today. | 0:00:32 | 0:00:33 | |
Super-strong winds, lightning and flood warnings have left flights | 0:00:34 | 0:00:36 | |
cancelled, trees uprooted, buildings damaged, and thousands | 0:00:36 | 0:00:40 | |
of people without power or electricity in their homes. | 0:00:40 | 0:00:43 | |
The bad weather is expected to ease as the day goes on. | 0:00:43 | 0:00:48 | |
Now to football, and Leicester City are still at the top | 0:00:48 | 0:00:50 | |
of the Premier League table. | 0:00:50 | 0:00:52 | |
Fans are rooting for them to make it all the way | 0:00:52 | 0:00:54 | |
and take the trophy this season. | 0:00:54 | 0:00:56 | |
Their success this year is winning them lots of new supporters, | 0:00:56 | 0:00:59 | |
and not just ones who live in the city - as I found out. | 0:00:59 | 0:01:07 | |
Happy, smiling Leicester City fans are becoming a more common | 0:01:07 | 0:01:10 | |
sight this year. | 0:01:10 | 0:01:12 | |
But these ones aren't in England, they're in Thailand, | 0:01:12 | 0:01:15 | |
in south-east Asia. | 0:01:15 | 0:01:17 | |
Lots of people here support the big name English clubs like Liverpool | 0:01:17 | 0:01:20 | |
and Manchester United. | 0:01:20 | 0:01:22 | |
But when Thai owners took over Leicester City in 2010, | 0:01:22 | 0:01:27 | |
many people switched to support the club. | 0:01:27 | 0:01:30 | |
And with the recent success of the team in the Premier League, | 0:01:30 | 0:01:33 | |
even more football fans in Thailand are supporting the Foxes. | 0:01:33 | 0:01:35 | |
In fact, they're so popular, every Leicester City football shirt | 0:01:35 | 0:01:39 | |
in the country has sold out! | 0:01:39 | 0:01:43 | |
I've been a Leicester City fan since the beginning, | 0:01:43 | 0:01:46 | |
when there were fewer than 10,000 of us. | 0:01:46 | 0:01:48 | |
I have been a Leicester City fan since Thai people took over. | 0:01:48 | 0:01:52 | |
Before that, I was a Manchester United supporter, | 0:01:52 | 0:01:56 | |
but I have fully become a LCFC supporter. | 0:01:56 | 0:02:03 | |
The Thai club-owners | 0:02:03 | 0:02:05 | |
are encouraging their new fans by giving out free food and drink | 0:02:05 | 0:02:07 | |
when the matches are on TV. | 0:02:07 | 0:02:09 | |
But can Leicester City keep up the popularity? | 0:02:09 | 0:02:11 | |
Only time will tell! | 0:02:11 | 0:02:12 | |
Tennis star Jamie Murray has made history, becoming the first Briton | 0:02:12 | 0:02:15 | |
under the modern ranking system to be named a World Number 1. | 0:02:15 | 0:02:19 | |
He'll become the first British World Number 1 in doubles | 0:02:19 | 0:02:21 | |
in more than 40 years | 0:02:21 | 0:02:24 | |
when he officially takes the top spot next week. | 0:02:24 | 0:02:27 | |
And head online for more on that story, including our Murray brothers | 0:02:27 | 0:02:30 | |
top trumps! | 0:02:30 | 0:02:33 | |
On the news we often hear about animals that are endangered | 0:02:33 | 0:02:35 | |
or facing extinction. | 0:02:35 | 0:02:37 | |
But have you noticed how often those animals are pretty cute? | 0:02:37 | 0:02:40 | |
Well, what about the not-so-cute critters? | 0:02:40 | 0:02:42 | |
A study has found that ugly animals are struggling to get | 0:02:42 | 0:02:45 | |
the same attention. | 0:02:45 | 0:02:50 | |
It's like something from a nightmare. | 0:02:50 | 0:02:53 | |
A gargoyle face, a crumbling nose, | 0:02:53 | 0:02:55 | |
fleshy wings and a loud, high-pitched squeak. | 0:02:55 | 0:03:01 | |
This is the orange leaf-nosed bat. | 0:03:01 | 0:03:04 | |
It's probably not going to win a beauty | 0:03:04 | 0:03:07 | |
contest any time soon. | 0:03:07 | 0:03:09 | |
But Australian researchers say this endangered mammal, | 0:03:09 | 0:03:11 | |
and many others like it, deserve a lot more | 0:03:11 | 0:03:13 | |
attention than they are getting. | 0:03:13 | 0:03:17 | |
A new study has found a lot of animals | 0:03:17 | 0:03:19 | |
in Australia are missing out on funding and research because, | 0:03:19 | 0:03:22 | |
well, they're just not pretty enough. | 0:03:22 | 0:03:26 | |
The study looked at 331 Australian mammals, and put them into three | 0:03:26 | 0:03:31 | |
categories - the good, the bad and the ugly. | 0:03:31 | 0:03:35 | |
We all know the good ones, the cute animals that people tend | 0:03:35 | 0:03:38 | |
to love, creatures like kangaroos, koalas and echidnas. | 0:03:38 | 0:03:43 | |
The bad ones are often pests. | 0:03:43 | 0:03:45 | |
They need to be watched so that they don't harm | 0:03:45 | 0:03:47 | |
other animals or the environment. | 0:03:47 | 0:03:49 | |
They include cats, rabbits and foxes. | 0:03:49 | 0:03:54 | |
And then, there's the ugly. | 0:03:54 | 0:03:56 | |
They're the animals that often come out at night, | 0:03:56 | 0:03:59 | |
and we normally don't pay much attention to them. | 0:03:59 | 0:04:01 | |
Creatures like bats, rats and flying foxes. | 0:04:01 | 0:04:06 | |
It's this last group that could be in danger of becoming extinct, | 0:04:06 | 0:04:09 | |
which is a big problem, because every animal | 0:04:09 | 0:04:12 | |
plays an important role in the ecosystem. | 0:04:12 | 0:04:15 | |
For example, small bats can eat up to 1000 mosquitos an hour, | 0:04:15 | 0:04:20 | |
so fewer bats could mean more mosquitos. | 0:04:20 | 0:04:23 | |
Scientists think the country's ugly animals deserve | 0:04:23 | 0:04:26 | |
just as much attention as the cute and cuddly ones, | 0:04:26 | 0:04:29 | |
so Australians are being asked to be citizen | 0:04:29 | 0:04:32 | |
scientists - regular people who help keep tabs on the animals living | 0:04:32 | 0:04:36 | |
around them. | 0:04:36 | 0:04:39 | |
So have a look for yourself. | 0:04:39 | 0:04:40 | |
Up close, you might discover that even the so-called | 0:04:40 | 0:04:42 | |
ugly ones can actually be pretty cute. | 0:04:42 | 0:04:46 | |
Finally, it's the superhero face-off of the year - | 0:04:49 | 0:04:52 | |
and now Batman v Superman has broken box-office records. | 0:04:52 | 0:04:55 | |
The film, which brings the two superheroes together | 0:04:55 | 0:04:58 | |
for the first time, has overcome bad reviews to take | 0:04:58 | 0:05:00 | |
?300 million at the box office in its first five days. | 0:05:00 | 0:05:04 | |
That makes it the best-ever opening for a March film release, | 0:05:04 | 0:05:08 | |
and the fourth highest of all time. | 0:05:08 | 0:05:12 | |
That's it from the news team today, but keep watching, because up next | 0:05:12 | 0:05:15 | |
Ricky's here with a special investigation! | 0:05:15 | 0:05:17 | |
He's been finding out how important technology is in our lives today, | 0:05:17 | 0:05:21 | |
and asking what would happen if we weren't allowed | 0:05:21 | 0:05:23 | |
to use our gadgets. | 0:05:23 | 0:05:25 | |
It's a Newsround Special: Is Tech Taking Over? | 0:05:25 | 0:05:28 | |
Technology is awesome. | 0:05:30 | 0:05:32 | |
We can use it to create virtual worlds, | 0:05:32 | 0:05:34 | |
send tweets from outer space, | 0:05:34 | 0:05:36 | |
and experts can even predict earthquakes | 0:05:36 | 0:05:39 | |
using everyday smartphones. | 0:05:39 | 0:05:41 | |
Now, imagine a world where you can use technology whenever you want. | 0:05:41 | 0:05:45 |
