Samuel whiskers, the half, that is it over here. These are five things | :01:14. | :01:20. | |

When she was young she kept a diary written in her own secret made up | :01:26. | :01:32. | |
language, writing in a special code about places she went to | :01:33. | :01:35. | |
Beatrix Potter loved life in the country. | :01:36. | :01:44. | |
She was so passionate about nature and conservation she | :01:45. | :01:46. | |
It helps to protect important areas of | :01:47. | :01:49. | |
Peter Rabbit was based on Beatrix Potter's real | :01:50. | :01:57. | |
She wrote that he was very good at tricks and very sweet. | :01:58. | :02:08. | |
The author developed a passion for fungi, | :02:09. | :02:12. | |
a group of living things, including mushrooms. | :02:13. | :02:23. | |
As a grown-up she researched, studied and painted them | :02:24. | :02:25. | |
in the Lake District where she lived. | :02:26. | :02:27. | |
Beatrix Potter was not only a great writer. | :02:28. | :02:29. | |
Later in life she became an award-winning sheep farmer. | :02:30. | :02:37. | |
Over in America - Barack Obama has called on people to make | :02:38. | :02:43. | |
Hillary Clinton the next US president. | :02:44. | :02:44. | |
He said the former First Lady was the most qualified person | :02:45. | :02:47. | |
Yesterday, she was officially chosen by her political party, | :02:48. | :02:51. | |
the Democrats, to run in the US election this November. | :02:52. | :02:59. | |
This year, in this election, I'm asking you to join me to reject | :03:00. | :03:03. | |
cynicism and reject fear and summon what is best in us to elect | :03:04. | :03:07. | |
Hillary Clinton as the next President of the United States and | :03:08. | :03:09. | |
show the world we still believe in the promise of this great nation. | :03:10. | :03:21. | |
Now here's a question for you - how do you help 500 | :03:22. | :03:24. | |
That's the problem facing a conservation group trying to do | :03:25. | :03:29. | |
just that in Malawi in south-east Africa. | :03:30. | :03:31. | |
Up to seven metres long and six tonnes in weight. | :03:32. | :03:43. | |
The African elephant is the largest land animal | :03:44. | :03:45. | |
The population is under threat from poaching, when | :03:46. | :03:48. | |
Another problem is they are less areas suitable for them to live in. | :03:49. | :03:53. | |
500 elephants in Malawi are being rehoused in a preserve | :03:54. | :03:55. | |
to give them more space to live and eat. | :03:56. | :03:58. | |
Sending elephants to a new park is such an | :03:59. | :04:00. | |
We need to be sure the new habitats they move to is | :04:01. | :04:10. | |
the right place for elephants and there is plenty of food and lots of | :04:11. | :04:13. | |
water and a very good fence around the sanctuary. | :04:14. | :04:15. | |
But moving them is a hefty operation. | :04:16. | :04:17. | |
They have been tranquillised, so they can sleep and be | :04:18. | :04:21. | |
They are carefully driven to the new location on large trucks and | :04:22. | :04:29. | |
monitored to check they are settling in OK. | :04:30. | :04:30. | |
The great thing about elephants is they are very adaptable | :04:31. | :04:33. | |
They normally very quickly settle into | :04:34. | :04:37. | |
The information we have on the elephants already moved | :04:38. | :04:42. | |
is they are all well settled and no problems | :04:43. | :04:44. | |
100 years ago an estimated 3.5 million elephants roamed Africa. | :04:45. | :04:53. | |
It is hoped spreading the population and giving them more space to roam | :04:54. | :05:03. | |
will mean these mammals will be around for many years to come. | :05:04. | :05:06. | |
Now there's only eight days to go until the Olympics | :05:07. | :05:09. | |
Team GB are arriving in Brazil ahead of the Games. | :05:10. | :05:14. | |
This is their training camp - which is about 250 miles | :05:15. | :05:17. | |
from where the games will take place in Rio. | :05:18. | :05:21. | |
Back home, one of our biggest medal hopes, world champion gymnast | :05:22. | :05:25. | |
Max Whitlock, has been talking about his chances. | :05:26. | :05:29. | |
It calms me knowing I had that title behind me. | :05:30. | :05:31. | |
Some people see it as more pressure but I see it | :05:32. | :05:34. | |
I need to move forward and produce the best | :05:35. | :05:38. | |
scores I can and I am doing my best to do that. | :05:39. | :05:40. | |
Finally to the sandwich that might just fill up an Olympic athlete. | :05:41. | :05:43. | |
Chefs in Mexico City have made what they think is the world's | :05:44. | :05:46. | |
largest 'torta', which is a type of Mexican sandwich. | :05:47. | :05:50. | |
It's 66 metres long, made of thousands of pieces of bread | :05:51. | :05:52. | |
and each section has a different filling. | :05:53. | :05:54. | |
That's all from me, Newsround is back with Jenny at 4:20. | :05:55. | :06:00. |
