It's bank holiday Monday, you're watching Newsround with me, Ayshah. | 0:00:05 | 0:00:08 | |
Coming up in the next five: The dogs being trained to find koala poo. | 0:00:08 | 0:00:11 | |
And the biggest bouncy castle ever. | 0:00:11 | 0:00:15 | |
First to Formula 1, and Lewis Hamilton is a very happy man. | 0:00:25 | 0:00:29 | |
He's won his first race of the season in Monaco, | 0:00:29 | 0:00:31 | |
beating his team-mate Nico Rosberg and cutting Rosberg's lead | 0:00:31 | 0:00:35 | |
in the championship to just 22 points. | 0:00:35 | 0:00:37 | |
Hamilton says he's sure he can win his third | 0:00:37 | 0:00:39 | |
championship this year. | 0:00:39 | 0:00:40 | |
In the tennis, Andy Murray is through to the quarterfinals | 0:00:40 | 0:00:42 | |
of the French Open. | 0:00:42 | 0:00:44 | |
He beat American player John Isner in straight sets. | 0:00:44 | 0:00:47 | |
Teenager Bethany Shriever from Essex has taken part | 0:00:49 | 0:00:52 | |
in the World BMX Championships in Colombia, South America, | 0:00:52 | 0:00:54 | |
over the weekend. | 0:00:54 | 0:01:00 | |
She represented Great Britain level in the competition | 0:01:00 | 0:01:02 | |
and earned herself a junior women's time trial silver medal. | 0:01:02 | 0:01:04 | |
We've been to meet the 16-year-old to find out more about her | 0:01:04 | 0:01:07 | |
love for BMX bikes. | 0:01:07 | 0:01:10 | |
My name's Bethany Shriever, and I'm a BMX racer for Team GB. | 0:01:12 | 0:01:16 | |
I got involved in the sport of BMX when I was eight years | 0:01:18 | 0:01:21 | |
old through my brother. | 0:01:21 | 0:01:25 | |
One of his friends invited us down the track, and he gave me one | 0:01:25 | 0:01:28 | |
of these and one of these, and I fell in love. | 0:01:28 | 0:01:32 | |
BMX bikes are smaller and harder than most bikes. | 0:01:33 | 0:01:36 | |
It's so they can take everything we put them through. | 0:01:36 | 0:01:42 | |
They're made to be strong, because the track is really | 0:01:42 | 0:01:45 | |
demanding on the bike. | 0:01:45 | 0:01:51 | |
There are lots of jumps on the track, made on a really | 0:01:51 | 0:01:54 | |
hard surface so that you can go really fast. | 0:01:54 | 0:01:56 | |
These bikes are for tracks like this, whereas mountain | 0:01:56 | 0:01:58 | |
bikes are made to go through puddles and mud. | 0:01:58 | 0:02:01 | |
This month I'm heading to Colombia to compete in the BMX | 0:02:01 | 0:02:03 | |
World Championships, representing my country. | 0:02:03 | 0:02:04 | |
There will be loads of people competing from all over the world, | 0:02:04 | 0:02:07 | |
but I'm the only girl competing for the UK in junior level. | 0:02:07 | 0:02:10 | |
If you want to give it a go, get down to your local track. | 0:02:10 | 0:02:14 | |
Anyone can do it. | 0:02:14 | 0:02:15 | |
You don't have to be mad to do it, but it does help! | 0:02:15 | 0:02:18 | |
Have a look at this fossilised skeleton of a massive sea reptile | 0:02:21 | 0:02:24 | |
that lived 165 million years ago. | 0:02:24 | 0:02:28 | |
The ancient bones were discovered at a quarry near Peterborough, | 0:02:28 | 0:02:31 | |
and the creature has been given the nickname Eve. | 0:02:31 | 0:02:34 | |
Next to Australia, where scientists have come up | 0:02:39 | 0:02:41 | |
with a pretty interesting way of tracking down koalas. | 0:02:41 | 0:02:43 | |
The animals are an endangered species across the country, | 0:02:43 | 0:02:45 | |
but now it's hoped koala-tracking dogs might be able to help. | 0:02:45 | 0:02:50 | |
This is Maya, and she's on the hunt for koalas. | 0:02:53 | 0:02:57 | |
The great thing with dogs as they can smell what we can't see. | 0:02:59 | 0:03:03 | |
Koala poo smells very much of eucalyptus, and so they can help | 0:03:03 | 0:03:06 | |
us locate scats very easily. | 0:03:06 | 0:03:10 | |
In many parts of Australia, their numbers are declining | 0:03:10 | 0:03:13 | |
because of habitat destruction, so researchers are trying to figure | 0:03:13 | 0:03:16 | |
out which are the most important areas to keep protected. | 0:03:16 | 0:03:21 | |
You need a lot of stamina, because you have to cover a lot | 0:03:21 | 0:03:25 | |
of ground and look under each tree for scats. | 0:03:25 | 0:03:28 | |
For Maya, that is not a problem, she is playing, and she is 20 times | 0:03:28 | 0:03:32 | |
faster at finding the scats. | 0:03:32 | 0:03:36 | |
And most importantly for conservation, she is 150% more | 0:03:36 | 0:03:39 | |
accurate, so that means she finding scats where humans are not. | 0:03:39 | 0:03:42 | |
For habitat protection, this is critical. | 0:03:42 | 0:03:43 | |
But even the best detectors need to keep their skills up | 0:03:43 | 0:03:46 | |
with a bit of training. | 0:03:46 | 0:03:52 | |
It's very simple, because we don't want to take her into the bush | 0:03:52 | 0:04:00 | |
and for her to start indicating on possum poo or Eastern grey poo. | 0:04:00 | 0:04:03 | |
We want to make sure that Maya knows what koala poo is, | 0:04:03 | 0:04:08 | |
and excludes any other marsupial poo. | 0:04:08 | 0:04:10 | |
If you think about it, dogs don't go to work for a salary. | 0:04:10 | 0:04:13 | |
They go to work and for them it is playing. | 0:04:13 | 0:04:15 | |
You are such a good girl! | 0:04:15 | 0:04:17 | |
And on top of that, for this pup, tracking and playing fetch | 0:04:17 | 0:04:19 | |
rarely feels like work! | 0:04:25 | 0:04:27 | |
Top Gear came back on our telly screens last night. | 0:04:27 | 0:04:33 | |
New presenters Chris Evans and co-host Matt LeBlanc | 0:04:33 | 0:04:35 | |
took to roads in the US, Morocco and in the UK. | 0:04:35 | 0:04:37 | |
It's had mixed reviews on social media, with a lot of people | 0:04:37 | 0:04:40 | |
missing the previous host, Jeremy Clarkson. | 0:04:40 | 0:04:42 | |
We want to know what you think about the new Top Gear. | 0:04:42 | 0:04:44 | |
Go online and let us know. | 0:04:44 | 0:04:46 | |
Finally, fancy having a go on this? | 0:04:46 | 0:04:48 | |
It's claimed to be the world's biggest bouncy castle. | 0:04:48 | 0:04:50 | |
It's being used at a festival in Southampton. | 0:04:50 | 0:04:52 | |
It's taller than the Great Wall of China, and 100 people can use | 0:04:52 | 0:04:55 | |
it at the same time. | 0:04:55 | 0:04:56 | |
That's all from me for now, Newsround's back in half an hour. | 0:04:56 | 0:04:58 |
