Good morning. I'm Ayshah. Here with your Monday headlines. Coming up...

:00:00.:00:11.

Waiters take to the streets for an extraordinary race. And Tom Daley

:00:12.:00:18.

plunges into action at the Diving World Series. This is Newsround.

:00:19.:00:27.

First this morning to a story involving a shipwreck, a rat

:00:28.:00:30.

invasion and one of our favourite sea birds. Puffins. In a tiny island

:00:31.:00:35.

off the coast of West Wales, they've come up with some unusual ways to

:00:36.:00:38.

trick and bring the sea birds back to the shore. We sent Nel to find

:00:39.:00:41.

out more. This is Ramsey Island. One of the

:00:42.:00:45.

tiny islands off the Pembrokeshire coast. It's got some of the most

:00:46.:00:48.

beautiful coastal scenery in Wales. And it is a brilliant place to spot

:00:49.:00:52.

some sea birds off the top of those cliffs. One sea bird that is hard to

:00:53.:01:01.

find here right now is the puffin. That wasn't always the story. Up

:01:02.:01:05.

until the late 1800s, thousands of puffins lived and bred happily on

:01:06.:01:09.

the island. But all that stopped when the rats arrived.

:01:10.:01:14.

It all started with a shipwreck. The rats on-board abandoned ship.

:01:15.:01:17.

Puffins live in burrows, which may it easy for the rats to sneak into

:01:18.:01:24.

eat their eggs. So the puffins left. Now the rats have all gone. But how

:01:25.:01:30.

do you get the puffins back? Well, for the last four years,

:01:31.:01:33.

conservation groups have been working on it. And they've got some

:01:34.:01:36.

pretty interesting ideas. With these fake puffins, made of plastic. The

:01:37.:01:40.

idea was that birds on the water would see these, think there is a

:01:41.:01:44.

busy puffin colony up there, "I'm going up". Unfortunately, that

:01:45.:01:47.

didn't work. We came across some colleagues in Northern Ireland who

:01:48.:01:54.

had speaker systems. Puffins that are out there on the water will

:01:55.:01:59.

hopefully hear it and come ashore. Why is it important to get puffins

:02:00.:02:04.

back on Ramsey Island? Well, they always used to be here. So it would

:02:05.:02:09.

be good to get them back. They are not doing that well in the rest of

:02:10.:02:15.

the UK. So it's important to have another site where puffins can breed

:02:16.:02:19.

successfully. So far today, these are the only puffins that I've seen.

:02:20.:02:25.

However, there is hope. A few have been spotted on those clips behind

:02:26.:02:31.

me. But there is no quick fix. And it will take a few years before we

:02:32.:02:34.

see a fully fledged puffin population on Ramsey Island.

:02:35.:02:44.

Thanks, Nel. Manchester City are back in the title race after beating

:02:45.:02:47.

Crystal Palace 2-0 yesterday. The Blues are now in the driving seat

:02:48.:02:51.

following Liverpool's 2-0 defeat by Chelsea. Edin Dzeko's header put

:02:52.:02:54.

City into an early lead before Yaya Toure curled a second from 15 yards.

:02:55.:02:57.

Third-placed City have a game in hand over both Liverpool and

:02:58.:03:00.

second-placed Chelsea and a better goal difference.

:03:01.:03:07.

You might think these pictures are right out of a fairy tale. Well,

:03:08.:03:10.

they're actually part of a sand sculpture festival at

:03:11.:03:12.

Weston-super-Mare. The theme is exactly that. BBC weather expert,

:03:13.:03:15.

Carol Kirkwood, is there this morning.

:03:16.:03:17.

I'm in Weston-super-Mare at the Sand Sculpture Festival. And with me is

:03:18.:03:21.

the coordinator and a sculptor herself, Nicola Woods. There are

:03:22.:03:28.

some amazing things here. Tell us a bit about this one. This is the

:03:29.:03:37.

Alice in Wonderland, mad Hatter's tea party, someone coming from

:03:38.:03:41.

Holland to make this in eight days. In need some repairs, but is

:03:42.:03:48.

otherwise great. Eight days is incredible. How do you do it? The

:03:49.:03:56.

secret is in preparation, we compound the sand, to make it

:03:57.:04:03.

tight, then work on detail as we go. How do they cope with the weather?

:04:04.:04:10.

They are surprisingly robust, but we do get some surface damage, and we

:04:11.:04:18.

have sculptors on-site the time. We have some high ones, including this

:04:19.:04:26.

one, tell us about this one. It is around eight metres high, although

:04:27.:04:32.

we lost about one metre of the top, it is related to the Grimm brothers

:04:33.:04:36.

be details, all in there for the kids to find. Those look great. And

:04:37.:04:45.

finally, hundreds of waiters and waitresses from all over Argentina

:04:46.:04:49.

have taken part in a race which involved carrying a tray full of

:04:50.:04:52.

drinks. The event has been held in cities around the world for over

:04:53.:04:56.

half a century. But it is the first time it's taken place in the

:04:57.:04:59.

Argentinian capital. That's all from me. Ricky's back this afternoon

:05:00.:05:01.

right here

:05:02.:05:02.
