0:00:24 > 0:00:26in their Big Garden Birdwatch counting more than eight million
0:00:26 > 0:00:29birds in their gardens.
0:00:34 > 0:00:37And apart from loads of robin there were even some rare sightings,
0:00:37 > 0:00:38like these Waxwings.
0:00:38 > 0:00:41On to sport now and Johanna Konta's become the first British woman

0:01:04 > 0:01:07This season is City's first in the Champions League and they're
0:01:07 > 0:01:12the only British side left in the competition.
0:01:12 > 0:01:14Next to the US, where a massive underground pipe that'll
0:01:14 > 0:01:18carry oil across America is being finished off.
0:01:18 > 0:01:20It's led to huge arguments between people who support it
0:01:20 > 0:01:24and other people who're protesting against it.
0:01:24 > 0:01:25So what actually is the Dakota pipeline?
0:01:25 > 0:01:31Here's Ricky.
0:01:31 > 0:01:34The Dakota pipeline stretching over 1,200 miles.
0:01:34 > 0:01:40This giant pipe runs under land and water through four US states.
0:01:40 > 0:01:43Its job, to carry oil from North Dakota's wells
0:01:43 > 0:01:46to here in Illinois where it's taken by ships to refineries
0:01:46 > 0:01:50to be cleaned for use.
0:01:50 > 0:01:55This thing can carry around 470,000 barrels of oil a day.
0:01:55 > 0:01:58Its supporters, including US President Donald Trump,
0:01:58 > 0:02:02say the pipeline is the safest way to transport oil to the rest
0:02:02 > 0:02:06of the country and cheaper than carrying barrels by train.
0:02:06 > 0:02:08But not everyone agrees.
0:02:08 > 0:02:10Many think the pipeline has the potential to
0:02:10 > 0:02:13pollute the environment.
0:02:13 > 0:02:16Thousands of protesters against the bill, including
0:02:16 > 0:02:25the Native American tribes who live at Standing Rock.
0:02:25 > 0:02:27They have been joined by other Native American
0:02:27 > 0:02:28groups and campaigners.
0:02:28 > 0:02:30They argue the pipeline could destroy sacred religious sites
0:02:30 > 0:02:33and pollute their main water supply from the Missouri River,
0:02:33 > 0:02:34if there was ever a leak.

0:04:35 > 0:04:38She's also having hydrotherapy to help her get better.
0:04:38 > 0:04:40Her owners say they are overwhelmed by the generosity of the people
0:04:40 > 0:04:44who have helped to pay for Puffy's new wheels.
0:04:44 > 0:04:46That's all from me.
