Two bears meet - level 

Two bears meet - level 3

A zoo in Cheshire has welcomed Bernardo the bear, who's arrived from the USA.
The four-year-old spectacled bear has moved into Chester Zoo after flying in from Tulsa Zoo in Oklahoma and is being introduced to his new female friend Franka.
It's rare that zoo animals move between Europe and the USA, so Bernardo's arrival brings important new blood to the European population of spectacled bears, a species vulnerable to extinction in the wild.
Bernardo's said to be a very kind and calm young male, and zoo staff are hoping him and Franka will be a match made in heaven, and produce little cubs in the future.
The young bear looks like he's enjoying spending time exploring his new home, with both he and Franka finding ways of getting to know each other, even if it involves a little bit of rough and tumble.
The zoo is hoping to work closely with Bernardo and learn new things to help ensure the bears' long-term survival.

One thousand metres deep

One thousand metres deep - level 3

More than 100 rescuers are attempting to free a man who is trapped in a cave 1,000 metres deep in southern Germany.
The 52 year-old man, who is one of the researchers who discovered the cave, was left with injuries to his head and chest after rocks fell on him on Sunday.
He can’t climb back to the surface by himself, as there are steep shafts and narrow tunnels.
“It’s also dark inside, but there are a lot of winding corridors, there are ravines filled with water and very steep places where abseiling is necessary. There is also a permanent danger of rocks falling which is why the operation is so complicated.”
The man is trapped in one of the most difficult and deepest caves in Europe and it took his friend 12 hours to climb out and call for help.
A specialist Swiss cave rescue team has now reached him, but it could be days before they see thesurface.

Dramatic moment on a railway

Dramatic moment on a railway - level 3

This is the moment a soldier ran onto a railway track into the path of an oncoming train to rescue a woman who had fallen onto the tracks.
The man was standing on the opposite platform at Strood station when he saw the pensioner run for her train and fall. He then jumped down and ran over to the other side, narrowly missing the passing train.
The paratrooper managed to reach the woman and lifter her onto the platform, jumping up just moments before the train hurtled towards them, slamming on its brakes just yards (metres) away.
Captured on the incoming train’s camera, people can be seen rushing along the platform trying to flag it down, looking back as it approaches.
Rail operator Southeastern Trains has now launched a full investigation into the incident.
