Five fun facts about Beatrix Potter. When she was young she kept a diary | :00:29. | :00:45. | |
written in her own secret made up language, writing in a special code | :00:46. | :00:49. | |
about places she went to an things she saw. Beatrix Potter love life in | :00:50. | :00:58. | |
the country. She was so passionate about nature and conservation she | :00:59. | :01:03. | |
helped start the National trust. It helps to protect important areas of | :01:04. | :01:13. | |
the UK countryside. Peter Rabbit was based on Beatrix Potter's real | :01:14. | :01:16. | |
rabbit, called Peter Piper. She wrote that he was very good at | :01:17. | :01:24. | |
tricks and very sweet. The author developed a passion for fun guy, a | :01:25. | :01:30. | |
group of living things including mushrooms. As a grown-up she | :01:31. | :01:34. | |
researched, studied and painted it in the Lake District where she | :01:35. | :01:42. | |
lived. Beatrix Potter was not only a great writer. Later in life she | :01:43. | :01:45. | |
became an award-winning sheep farmer. | :01:46. | :01:50. | |
Over in America - Barack Obama has called on people to make | :01:51. | :01:55. | |
Hillary Clinton the next US president. | :01:56. | :02:00. | |
He said the former First Lady was the most qualified person | :02:01. | :02:02. | |
Yesterday, she was officially chosen by her political party, | :02:03. | :02:06. | |
the Democrats, to run in the US election this November. | :02:07. | :02:10. | |
This year, in this election, I'm asking you to join me to reject | :02:11. | :02:15. | |
cynicism and reject fear and summon what is best in us to elect | :02:16. | :02:18. | |
Hillary Clinton as the next President of the United States and | :02:19. | :02:20. | |
show the world we still believe in the promise of this great nation. | :02:21. | :02:32. | |
Now here's a question for you - how do you help 500 | :02:33. | :02:35. | |
That's the problem facing a conservation group trying to do | :02:36. | :02:41. | |
just that in Malawi in south-east Africa. | :02:42. | :02:43. | |
Up to seven metres long and six tonnes in weight. The African | :02:44. | :02:53. | |
elephant is the largest land mammal in the world. The population is | :02:54. | :02:58. | |
under threat from poaching, when they are killed for their tusks. | :02:59. | :03:02. | |
Another problem is they are less areas suitable for them to live in. | :03:03. | :03:08. | |
500 elephants in Malawi are being rehoused to give them more space in | :03:09. | :03:13. | |
a preserve to live and eat. Sending elephants to a new park is such an | :03:14. | :03:17. | |
important thing. We need to be sure the new habitats they moved to is | :03:18. | :03:21. | |
the right place for elephants and there is plenty of food and lots of | :03:22. | :03:25. | |
water and a very good fence around the sanctuary. But moving them is a | :03:26. | :03:31. | |
hefty operation. These elephants are fine. They have been tranquillised, | :03:32. | :03:35. | |
so they can sleep and be moved safely. They are carefully driven to | :03:36. | :03:40. | |
the new location on large trucks and monitored to check they are settling | :03:41. | :03:46. | |
in OK. The great thing about elephants is they are very adaptable | :03:47. | :03:49. | |
and very clever animals. They normally very quickly settle into | :03:50. | :03:54. | |
their new home. The information we have on the elephants already moved | :03:55. | :03:59. | |
is they are all well settled and no problems have been encountered at | :04:00. | :04:04. | |
all. 100 years ago an estimated 3.5 million elephants roamed Africa. Now | :04:05. | :04:09. | |
there are about 407 the thousands. It is hoped spreading the population | :04:10. | :04:15. | |
and giving them more space to roam will mean these mammals will be | :04:16. | :04:16. | |
around for many years to come. Team GB is arriving in Brazil | :04:17. | :04:21. | |
ahead of the Olympics. There's only eight days to go | :04:22. | :04:23. | |
until the games officially kick off. This is their training camp - | :04:24. | :04:26. | |
which is 250 miles from where One of our biggest medal hopefuls | :04:27. | :04:29. | |
is World gymnast champion He has been talking about his | :04:30. | :04:42. | |
chances. It calms me knowing I had that title behind me. Some people | :04:43. | :04:46. | |
see it as more pressure but I see it as a result in the bag now. I need | :04:47. | :04:51. | |
to move forward and produce the best scores I can and I am doing my best | :04:52. | :04:57. | |
to do that. Good luck. We are back right here in just about half are | :04:58. | :05:00. | |
now. See you then. Goodbye. | :05:01. | :05:03. |
