Hi guys.

0:00:030:00:03

Naz here with your Sunday Newsround.

0:00:030:00:05

Coming up in the next few minutes.

0:00:050:00:08

People from all over the world apply for a job in the UK looking

0:00:080:00:11

after these little chaps.

0:00:110:00:14

Fans send Superstar Gymnast Simone Biles their Olympic photos

0:00:140:00:16

after she admits she's lost all hers, and

0:00:160:00:20

the search for this elephant's long-lost keeper.

0:00:200:00:21

One of Britain's busiest motorways will stay closed until tonight

0:00:380:00:41

after a bridge fell onto the road.

0:00:410:00:42

The walkway collapsed on the M20 in Kent and squashed

0:00:420:00:45

the back of this lorry.

0:00:450:00:46

It's caused lots of problems on what's one of the busiest

0:00:460:00:51

weekends for travelling all year.

0:00:510:00:54

One person was hurt, but not too badly.

0:00:540:00:59

Now can you imagine going away to the coolest place ever,

0:00:590:01:01

taking loads of photos to show your mates -

0:01:010:01:03

and then you find out, you've lost them all?

0:01:030:01:06

Well, that's what's happened to Olympic champ

0:01:060:01:08

gymnast Simone Biles.

0:01:080:01:09

The American who won four gold medals in Rio

0:01:090:01:11

was devastated to discover all her pics had disappeared.

0:01:110:01:14

The gymnast got on social media to tell her fans

0:01:140:01:16

and thankfully her followers soon came to her rescue and sent her some

0:01:160:01:19

of their favourite snaps.

0:01:190:01:23

Since the Olympics we've been catching up with as many of our Rio

0:01:230:01:26

heroes, tomorrow morning we'll be speaking to Team GB rowing

0:01:260:01:28

Silver Medalists Katherine Grainger and Vicky Thornley.

0:01:280:01:31

We want your questions for them - get online and sent them in!

0:01:310:01:36

Next to Kate the elephant and the search for her long lost keeper -

0:01:360:01:40

with a little help from her zoo.

0:01:400:01:43

There you go Kate, breakfast time.

0:01:430:01:46

An extra treat this morning.

0:01:460:01:47

Jelly.

0:01:470:01:50

It's early morning and time for Kate's breakfast.

0:01:500:01:54

Then it's on to her daily foot massage and pedicure.

0:01:540:02:00

We keep on top of it just to make sure no stones,

0:02:000:02:03

or anything like that, get stuck in there.

0:02:030:02:05

Pedicure done, time to play outside.

0:02:050:02:11

Kate was one of the first animals to arrive here at Blackpool zoo

0:02:110:02:14

when it opened almost 45 years ago.

0:02:140:02:19

She came over with another elephant called Crumple

0:02:190:02:21

and they were both the same age, they were both roughly

0:02:210:02:24

about three years old.

0:02:240:02:26

It was quite an adventurous trip across from Mysore

0:02:260:02:30

in the south of India.

0:02:300:02:34

The person who knows most about that journey is a man called Dennis.

0:02:340:02:37

He was the keeper who looked after Kate, and now the zoo

0:02:370:02:40

want to find him.

0:02:400:02:43

He worked at the zoo in the 60s and 70s.

0:02:430:02:45

He went over to India to collect two orphaned elephants.

0:02:450:02:49

They jumped aboard a ship in sunny India and one month and 8500 miles

0:02:490:02:52

of ocean later they finally arrived in England.

0:02:520:02:57

Before the zoo celebrates its birthday next year

0:02:570:03:02

they want to find Dennis.

0:03:020:03:05

We don't know what's going on inside her head.

0:03:050:03:07

We can't speak elephant.

0:03:070:03:09

But Dennis can fill in those gaps for us.

0:03:090:03:11

It would be amazing to see what her journey was like.

0:03:110:03:16

So no one else knows anything else about Dennis apart

0:03:210:03:24

from Kate, of course.

0:03:240:03:28

So, Kate, where is Dennis?

0:03:280:03:31

What?

0:03:310:03:35

Six scientists will end their experiment practising living

0:03:350:03:37

on Mars today and they've not even left Earth!

0:03:370:03:42

For a year they've been living on the slopes of a volcano in Hawaii

0:03:420:03:45

in a solar-powered dome.

0:03:450:03:47

The idea is to see what life might be like for

0:03:470:03:49

a future mission to Mars.

0:03:490:03:52

Notting Hill carnival is taking place in London today.

0:03:520:03:54

And this year it's celebrating it's 50th birthday.

0:03:540:03:57

Lots of children are joining in the fun and performing

0:03:570:04:00

in the parade.

0:04:000:04:01

It was delayed a little because of the rain.

0:04:010:04:04

More than a million people are expected to turn up today

0:04:040:04:06

and tomorrow to enjoy the party.

0:04:060:04:10

It's that time of the week for us to take a look at the strangest

0:04:100:04:13

stories we've managed to come across.

0:04:130:04:15

Check this out....

0:04:150:04:19

Check out this new tune.

0:04:190:04:21

Everyone's going absolutely bananas for it!

0:04:210:04:24

This orangutan, called Kluet, composed the jazz single on an app

0:04:240:04:26

on his keeper's phone.

0:04:260:04:29

It's now being released to raise awareness of the problems facing

0:04:290:04:34

orangutans in the wild.

0:04:340:04:37

Robots are usually controlled by remote control, right?

0:04:370:04:39

Not when you are OctoBot.

0:04:390:04:41

Not when you are OctoBot.

0:04:410:04:43

This cool wee robot has no wires or batteries.

0:04:430:04:45

It actually moves by pushing gas through little chambers in its legs.

0:04:450:04:51

It's hoped that one day robots like this could help with surgery,

0:04:510:05:00

or in search and rescue missions.

0:05:000:05:01

Finally, to these very unusual BFFs.

0:05:010:05:04

This 16-year-old cat called Rosinka adopted Fyodor,

0:05:040:05:07

a baby monkey which was abandoned by its mother in a Russian zoo.

0:05:070:05:13

Fearing the monkey would die the director of the zoo carried out

0:05:130:05:17

an experiment and introduced him to her cat.

0:05:170:05:21

Rosinka started carrying Fyodor on her back and the two of them

0:05:210:05:23

became best friends.

0:05:230:05:27

The PAWfect ending.

0:05:270:05:31

And finally,would you like to look after these little

0:05:310:05:34

chaps when you grow up?

0:05:340:05:35

Well, a job as a hedgehog officer for Suffolk wildlife trust has

0:05:350:05:38

attracted interest from France, South Korea and even China.

0:05:380:05:41

The role was created after hundreds of people reported seeing

0:05:410:05:44

lots of hedgehogs in Ipswich.

0:05:440:05:49

Cool job!

0:05:490:05:52
