00:19They call her Mai because she has 1,400 children.
00:24They're not really Mai's sons and daughters.

02:05Every year at London Zoo in the United Kingdom, the zookeepers start the new year in the same way.
02:18They count the animals.
02:20There are more than 700 different kinds of animals at London Zoo and more than 19,000 animals.
02:27Camels, jellyfish, and spiders.
02:30The zookeepers need to count them all.
02:35Every year, many new animals are born at the zoo.
02:46The numbers of some animals can change very quickly.
02:50Last week, the zoo had eight of these praying mantises.
02:54This week, they have more than 150.
02:57Some animals are easy to count, but some are more difficult.
03:05Meerkats are fast.
03:07It's not easy to count them when they move around.
03:09Some zookeepers know the animals very well.
03:19This helps them to count.
03:21Susanna Matyasova sees the penguins every day.
03:25She knows all their names and their faces.
03:27To me, I can even kind of have a look at their face and kind of say,
03:33OK, so this is Lolo, and this is Jeff, and this is sort of Dingle.
03:39In August, the zookeepers have another important job to do.
03:47They need to weigh the animals to find out how heavy they are.
03:51They also measure the animals to find out how long or tall they are.
03:56The zookeepers use food to help move the animals.
03:59But weighing some animals is difficult.
04:10Squirrel monkeys like to play together.
04:12The zookeepers need to weigh one monkey, not five.
04:18The squirrel monkeys also look the same.
04:22The monkeys have microchips, so the zookeepers know which one they are looking at.
04:29With dangerous animals, the zookeepers need to try other things.
04:34They use meat to bring the animals to the right place.
04:38JJ the tiger is about two and a half meters long.
04:44The information they get tells zookeepers how healthy the animals are.
04:50London Zoo shares all its information with other zoos and scientists.
04:54They use the information to help save animals around the world.
05:03These are the Altai Mountains in western Mongolia.
05:08There isn't much water here, and there aren't many trees.
05:14In winter, the temperature is often minus 30 degrees, or colder.
05:20It's a difficult place for people to live.
05:25But some people know how to live here.
05:30The Kazakh eagle hunters.
05:32Kazakh eagle hunters use these big birds to help them catch animals.
05:38Animals can see a long way in the Altai Mountains,
05:41so it's difficult for people to hunt here.
05:44But golden eagles can catch food easily.
05:51The Kazakh eagle hunters use the golden eagles to catch animals for them.
05:59They started using eagles more than 1,000 years ago.
06:04The eagles catch hares, foxes, and sometimes wolves for the hunters.
06:10The people use the animals' fur to make warm winter clothes.
06:18The eagle hunters teach the eagles to hunt for them.
06:24They only use female eagles because they are big, strong, and very good at hunting.
06:32They ride on horses, and their eagles ride with them.
06:36The eagles are very important to the Kazakhs.
06:40They become part of the family.
06:45Kazakh eagle hunters live in tents called yur.
06:49They move three times a year.
06:53They keep animals, usually sheep, goats, and yaks.
06:58And they all ride horses.
07:01The eagles stay in the family's home when it is cold.
07:04The hunters keep one eagle for about 10 years.
07:13Then they let her go so that she can have babies.
07:17Today, there are about 70 families of eagle hunters near the Altai Mountains.
07:23Street food is a delicious part of city life.
07:32There are street food sellers in every country.
07:36Their food is fast, fresh, and delicious.
07:42You can watch them make the food in front of you.
07:46Local people eat their local street food every day.
07:50But for tourists, these dishes are new and exciting.
07:53So, what are we waiting for?
07:58Let's find out about some great street food.
08:06We'll start in Brazil.
08:09Brazil is famous for pastels.
08:11A pastel is made of a thin pastry filled with many different kinds of food.
08:17Brazilians fry the pastel and serve it hot.
08:21And they eat them day and night.
08:25Cheese is in a lot of Brazilian street foods.
08:29These are pão de queijo, or cheese bread.
08:33And this is queijo coelho, cheese on a stick.
08:37People often eat it on the beach.
08:42Now, let's go to North Africa, to the busy markets of Morocco.
08:50There are many different kinds of street food here.
08:54One famous dish is baboush, or snail soup.
08:59They cook large snails with herbs and spices and serve it in bowls.
09:03Or, if you don't want snails, there's merguez.
09:13These sausages are made of beef and lamb.
09:16They're hot and spicy.
09:18A world tour of street food is not complete without a visit to Thailand.
09:25There are so many dishes to try here.
09:28Like som tam, a spicy green papaya salad.
09:31Or, kai jo, an omelette with rice and chilies, which is great for breakfast.
09:37But the most famous dish is pad thai.
09:43Fried egg noodles with seafood or chicken, peanuts, chili, lime, and fish sauce.
09:49Delicious!
09:49So, which country's street food would you like to try?
09:54Havana, the capital city of Cuba, is very different from most cities.
10:04There aren't any advertising signs, and there are no international coffee shops and restaurants.
10:11The buildings are old, colorful, and beautiful.
10:15On the streets, there are a lot of colorful old cars from the 1950s.
10:23The Capitol building stands next to the theater, Grand Teatro de la Habana Alicia Alonso.
10:33Near the Capitol, there's one of Havana's many museums, the National Museum of Fine Arts.
10:40Here you can see art from around the world.
10:45This is Havana's old town.
10:49There are many squares, or plazas, here.
10:53This is Plaza Vieja.
10:56The rich people of Havana lived here 500 years ago.
11:01There are shops, small museums, and art galleries here.
11:07As you walk around Old Havana, you see a lot of musicians.
11:11The music of Havana is famous for bringing together Spanish guitars and African drums.
11:20There are often street performers in Old Havana, too.
11:24This fort is called Castillo de la Real Fuerza.
11:33It's very old.
11:35The city built it in 1577.
11:39Not everything in Havana is old.
11:42In the quiet neighborhood of Jaimanitas, you can see an amazing sight.
11:47A Cuban artist, José Fuster, decided to make modern art from his home and his neighborhood.
11:58As the sun goes down in Havana, people meet at the seafront, the Malecon.
12:04Here, there's a 7-kilometer walk along a seawall.
12:11At 9 p.m., they fire the cannon at the Morro Cabana Fortress.
12:17That means it's the end of the day in Havana.
12:20Many people want to know about their family tree.
12:26They want to know which countries their family came from.
12:32They want to know the history of their family.
12:36In the past, people looked at old documents in places like libraries to find out information about their families.
12:43But these days, it's easy to get this kind of information.
12:52Websites have information about different families.
12:56And DNA testing can tell you a lot of information.
12:59It's very popular in the U.S., where families come from many different cultures.
13:05Adopted children and people with long-lost family members often want to find their family.
13:13Lisa Fretwell and Carla Westborough are half-sisters.
13:17After their parents separated, they didn't see each other for 30 years.
13:22They found each other on the Internet.
13:25They both work for the same supermarket in different parts of London.
13:29They have a lot in common.
13:33Sometimes the Internet can't help you.
13:35You need luck.
13:36Joanne Milroy looked for her long-lost cousin, John, for many years.
13:44She looked for him on social media and on websites, but she didn't find him.
13:49Joanne works at an Amazon warehouse in the U.K.
13:57One day, she saw the name John Pownell on a list at work.
14:01That was her cousin's name.
14:04She asked her co-worker to introduce them.
14:08She met John and asked him some questions about his mother and father.
14:12He was her cousin.
14:15John only lives about 15 kilometers away from Joanne.
14:19They are very happy to be family again.
14:22A small world brought Joanne and John together.
14:27But the Internet and DNA testing are helping more people to find their families today.
14:32Is there a family member you would like to find?
14:38The Great American Road Trip is a very popular vacation.
14:44Many tourists go on a road trip in America every year.
14:49It's easy to see why.
14:51There are 50 states in the U.S. and 4,071,000 miles of road.
14:58That's a lot of road.
15:00With so many amazing places, where do you start?
15:06One route you can drive is down the East Coast,
15:10across the country to the West Coast,
15:12and then up the West Coast.
15:14Let's follow this route.
15:16Start in Maine, a state in the Northeast,
15:21and drive along the coast to Penobscot Bay with its beautiful lighthouses.
15:29Go south to New York and cross the George Washington Bridge.
15:33You will see the world-famous Manhattan skyline.
15:36Travel through the Appalachian Mountains, also called the Smoky Mountains.
15:44You can't miss a trip around Florida's beautiful coastline.
15:48When you drive through the Everglades National Park, watch out for alligators!
15:56Next stop is New Orleans in Louisiana.
16:00The French Quarter is the place to go for great live music and delicious food.
16:05Then drive west through Texas.
16:09Try being a cowboy or a cowgirl while you're there.
16:17Don't miss the Grand Canyon in Arizona.
16:20You'll never forget these views.
16:26When you get to Los Angeles, California,
16:28you can visit the city's film studios
16:31and see the world-famous Hollywood sign.
16:35After that, you can drive up the Pacific coast
16:40to San Francisco with its magnificent Golden Gate Bridge.
16:48Finish your trip in Portland, Oregon,
16:50or just keep going all the way to Seattle, Washington.
16:57When you think about soccer players' lives,
17:00you usually think of money, expensive cars, and big homes.
17:04But these players don't have any of these things.
17:08They are all homeless.
17:15Around the world, 100 million people are homeless,
17:19and 1.6 billion people don't have a safe or healthy place to live.
17:23Their lives are dangerous and difficult.
17:26Soccer is one way to help.
17:32There are soccer organizations for homeless people
17:35in 74 countries around the world.
17:40Why soccer?
17:41Well, it's many people's favorite sport.
17:45They played it when they were young.
17:47They played it when they were at school.
17:48They played it on the streets.
17:51And, of course, it's a cheap sport to play.
17:57Playing soccer can help homeless people improve their health
18:00and make them feel happy.
18:04They learn to work in a team.
18:06The experience can help them to get a job.
18:09Every year, there is a homeless World Cup.
18:16It's in a different country every year.
18:18Around 500 players from more than 50 countries around the world
18:22play at the homeless World Cup.
18:24The game they play is called street soccer.
18:32There are four players on a team.
18:34Each match is only 14 minutes long.
18:37It's fast and very exciting.
18:40There are teams for men and women.
18:4780,000 people come to watch the games,
18:50and millions of people watch the games online around the world.
18:54The top teams come from Mexico, Brazil, and Chile.
19:01But the game is about much more than winning.
19:04It's about improving people's lives.
19:14And not only the World Cup players' lives.
19:17Street soccer clubs around the world
19:19have worked with more than 100,000 homeless people.
19:22For the homeless, street soccer really can make a difference.
19:34Chinese people around the world celebrate Chinese New Year,
19:39or Spring Festival.
19:41The festival is 3,800 years old,
19:44and it's very colorful.
19:46Before the festival, people need to clean their houses.
19:55This takes away last year's bad luck.
19:58The cleaning stops on New Year's Day.
20:01They don't want to clean away the New Year's good luck.
20:04It's also very important to go shopping for new clothes.
20:10On New Year's Day,
20:11everybody wears new clothes from head to toe.
20:15The most important part of Chinese New Year
20:18is for families to come together.
20:21On New Year's Eve,
20:23families eat a special meal.
20:25The food they eat is different in different parts of China
20:29and around the world.
20:34In the North,
20:35they usually eat dumplings at New Year's.
20:38It takes a long time to make the dumplings,
20:41so the family spends time together.
20:45The children in the family get little red envelopes.
20:49The envelopes have money in them.
20:53Many traditions at Chinese New Year
20:56come from a traditional story.
20:58It's about a monster called the Nian.
21:01In the story,
21:02the Nian comes at New Year.
21:05It eats people and farm animals in the night.
21:08But the Nian is afraid of the color red,
21:11bright light,
21:12and loud noises.
21:19So, at Chinese New Year,
21:21people put red paper on the doors and walls of their homes.
21:26And they use loud firecrackers
21:29to make the Nian go away.
21:32The Nian looks like a lion.
21:35At New Year's,
21:36many people watch the lion dance in the street.
21:41The last day of the Spring Festival
21:44is the Lantern Festival.
21:45The lights of the festival are very bright.
21:52The Nian will not come here this year.
21:56We need to hear before we learn to speak.
22:01When we are babies,
22:02we hear the sounds of our first language.
22:04Then we try to make the sounds.
22:09So what happens when you can't hear?
22:12Deaf children can be very lonely.
22:1990% of deaf children's parents can hear.
22:22They often don't know how to communicate with their children.
22:29Deaf children learn sign language at schools around the world.
22:33Not many people know sign language,
22:38so deaf children can usually only speak to other deaf people.
22:44These children are helping to change that.
22:47Hey.
22:49What?
22:51What?
22:53That's my name.
22:56They're teaching sign language to a group of seniors.
22:59Seniors are often lonely, too.
23:02They often miss communicating with other people.
23:06I love to meet these young people.
23:09It's lovely.
23:10Because I was a teacher for many, many years.
23:14And to be again with young people is a great joy to me.
23:18Deaf children can meet a lot of friends at school.
23:21But when deaf people are older,
23:24they often don't have hearing friends.
23:28They can feel different from hearing people.
23:31And if you can't speak,
23:32it's difficult to do a lot of jobs.
23:37This soccer coach, Ben Lampert,
23:39has helped to do his job.
23:43He has helped to talk to the children.
23:47He says he loves teaching children.
23:50He also teaches the class sign language.
23:56He teaches deaf and hearing children together.
24:02Sign language gives deaf people a way to make friends,
24:05to work, and to play.
24:09Not many hearing people know sign language now.
24:13But many children around the world
24:15say they would like to learn.
24:20But many children around the world
24:21say they would like to learn.
24:22Before smartphones and Spotify,
24:24there were CDs.
24:26Before CDs, there were cassette tapes.
24:28And before tapes, there were vinyl records.
24:33From 1900 to 1980,
24:37vinyl records were how most people listened to music.
24:40Now people are buying vinyl records again.
24:49Why?
24:50Well, some people want an object,
24:53not a digital file.
24:54They want to hold their favorite music
24:57and look at the beautiful album art.
24:59Today, you can buy albums from famous musicians
25:05like Adele, Lady Gaga, and Bruno Mars on vinyl.
25:10But just a few years ago, you couldn't.
25:15A group of record store owners in the U.S.
25:19decided to have a record store day.
25:21A day for musicians, record store owners,
25:25and customers to get together.
25:27The idea was a big success.
25:32Today, record store day happens at record stores
25:35in many different countries,
25:37like Poland, Mexico, Australia, and the U.K.
25:44On record store day,
25:46special vinyl records go on sale.
25:48There are new and old albums on vinyl,
25:52and customers line up to buy them.
25:57I love music.
25:58I love physical music.
25:59I love having an actual object.
26:01There are also special events on record store day.
26:05Musicians play live music in the stores,
26:08and DJs spin records.
26:10There are low prices,
26:12and musicians sign records.
26:15It's clear from the crowds at record store day
26:18that a lot of people love vinyl records.
26:21And why not?
26:23Maybe vinyl is still best.
26:28Welcome to New Zealand.

27:26Dolphins, seals, and whales often swim in these waters.
27:36And three kinds of penguins visit the coast here.
27:40The Maori were the first people to discover New Zealand.
27:46They came here in boats around 800 years ago.
27:53This is a Maori boathouse in the North Island.
