:00:13. > :00:21.$:/STARTFEED. Hello there. Coming up - scooting into school.
:00:21. > :00:28.Is a safety test a good idea? And, the Netherlands parties for its new
:00:28. > :00:32.King. We are talking about animal cruelty.
:00:32. > :00:35.The RSPCA say this year there have been hundreds more people convicted
:00:36. > :00:40.more animal neglect and cruelty than there were last year.
:00:40. > :00:45.Inspectors say more animals than ever are in need of new homes. Here
:00:45. > :00:50.is Martin. A few days old. These kittens
:00:50. > :00:54.haven't had the best start. Someone saw a male dump the four kittens in
:00:54. > :00:57.a sack this morning and left them in a park. They've been out and
:00:57. > :01:03.picked them up this morning and given them a check before we
:01:03. > :01:06.brought them back o the RSPCA centre. They've had a vet check and
:01:06. > :01:11.seem healthy. They need to be with their mum but that's not going to
:01:11. > :01:14.happen so the next step is to get them hand-reared and then all being
:01:14. > :01:18.well, they'll be re-homed when they are old enough. These kittens
:01:18. > :01:23.aren't alone, they are just one of many thousands of cases of animal
:01:23. > :01:29.cruelty discovered by the RSPCA. They say last year they rescued
:01:29. > :01:33.over 130,000 animals. In England and Wales, they charged over 30%
:01:33. > :01:38.more people with animal neglect. So why is there an increase? There is
:01:38. > :01:42.an increase in problems with people just not being able to look after
:01:42. > :01:46.their animals properly, but there's also more people that are aware of
:01:47. > :01:50.what we can do to help and will call us. The law's changed and we
:01:50. > :01:54.are now able to intervene earlier. An animal doesn't have to be left
:01:54. > :02:00.to suffer before we can move in and deal with it. There is no excuse
:02:00. > :02:03.for not giving attention to an animal that needs it. If you can't
:02:03. > :02:08.afford it, there are organisations that can help. The RSPCA hope that
:02:08. > :02:10.by raising awareness, dogs like Lilla here, can find a new home.
:02:10. > :02:14.But they say their staff and volunteers are struggling to keep
:02:14. > :02:18.up with what they are calling a cruelty crisis and want judges to
:02:18. > :02:22.take tougher action on those who mistreat other animals.
:02:22. > :02:25.Next, and things could be getting tougher for male prisoners in
:02:25. > :02:28.England and Wales. At the moment, new prisoners are allowed to watch
:02:28. > :02:31.TV in their cells and socialise with other inmates. But the
:02:31. > :02:35.Government thinks prison is a bit too easy for some of them. From
:02:35. > :02:39.November, new prisoners will only get given privileges like watching
:02:39. > :02:46.TV if they have been well behaved. Changes for female prisoners
:02:46. > :02:48.haven't been decided yet. More on this story at 6.55.
:02:48. > :02:52.Primark says it will give money to the families of people who died
:02:53. > :02:58.after a clothes factory using Bangladesh collapsed. More than 300
:02:58. > :03:04.people are thought to have died in the disaster which happened in
:03:04. > :03:08.Dhaka. Some women were making clothes for Primark. The shop said
:03:08. > :03:12.it would provide for children of those who'd lost their parents. Now
:03:12. > :03:16.to Amsterdam in the Netherlands which got a new King today after
:03:17. > :03:25.Queen Beatrix stepped down after 33 years and handed over the throne to
:03:25. > :03:31.herest eld son. He's the country's first King since 1890. -- her
:03:31. > :03:35.eldest son. Can you spot the Royal colour orange anywhere?!
:03:35. > :03:40.Welcome to Amsterdam. This right now is Europe's biggest party.
:03:40. > :03:46.Thousands of people dressed in the colour of the monarchy. What are
:03:46. > :03:50.they celebrating? This country has a new King. His name is Willem
:03:50. > :03:53.Alexander, the first King for over a century. People from come to
:03:53. > :03:58.celebrate. A lot of music, activities, kids who've come with
:03:58. > :04:01.their parents and grandparents. This is a moment us to occasion for
:04:01. > :04:06.the entire country and orange is the key theme. Everywhere you look,
:04:06. > :04:10.you can see a lot of that colour. Thank you very much.
:04:10. > :04:13.I'm betting a few of you ride your scooters to school. At one school
:04:13. > :04:17.in West Sussex, teachers want pupils to pass a safety test before
:04:17. > :04:27.they are allowed to scoot to lessons. They are given a permit
:04:27. > :04:50.
