Daniel walks in the set of "TVO Kids News" holding a cat mug and a dog mug.

Daniel is in his twenties, with short curly brown hair and wears glasses, jeans, a green TVO Kids T-shirt and a gray and blue hoodie.

On a screen behind him appears a picture of a coral reef with the caption "Coral crisis."

Daniel says WELCOME TO
TVOK NEWS.
I'M YOUR NEWS ANCHOR, DANIEL,
AND THIS IS WHAT'S HAPPENING.
AUSTRALIA'S GREAT BARRIER REEF
IS DISAPPEARING!
THE CROWN-OF-THORNS STARFISH
ARE EATING THE CORAL FAST,
AND THIS IS NOT GOOD
FOR OUR WORLD.
SCIENTISTS ARE HOPING
TO GET HELP
FROM THE GIANT TRITON SNAIL,
ONE OF THE WORLD'S
LARGEST SEA SNAILS.
THEY'RE AMAZING AT HUNTING DOWN
THESE STARFISH,
BUT GIANT TRITON SNAILS
ARE ENDANGERED,
SO THERE'S NOT
A LOT OF THEM AROUND.
HERE'S THE GOOD NEWS:
SCIENTISTS ARE ABLE
TO FIND SOME OF THESE SNAILS
AND BREED OVER
100,000 OF THEM.
WHEN THEY ARE OLD ENOUGH
TO GO INTO THE OCEAN,
THEY'LL GET RID OF
THOSE PESKY STARFISH.

Now a picture of a fireman fighting a wild fire appears on the screen with the caption "Wildfires."

Daniel says NEXT UP, WHEN YOU MIX
THE HOTTEST SUMMER ON RECORD
WITH A BAD GUST OF WIND
AND DRIED OUT LANDSCAPES,
YOU GET A FIRESTORM.
A WILD FIRE SO POWERFUL,
IT CAN MAKE ITS OWN WEATHER.
THE FIRES IN CALIFORNIA
HAVE BEEN BURNING
SINCE DECEMBER 5TH,
AND THEY'RE HUGE.
BUT NOT AS BIG AS THE HEARTS
OF THE THOUSANDS OF PEOPLE
WHO ARE HELPING
BY OFFERING HOUSING,
ANIMAL FOSTER CARE, AS WELL AS
FOOD AND MONEY DONATIONS.
SO A BIG SHOUT-OUT TO EVERYONE
HELPING OUT WITH THESE FIRES.
MM.

Now a picture of a meteor shower appears with the caption "Meteor shower tonight!"

Daniel says IN OTHER NEWS,
IT'S TIME TO GET
THOSE WISHES READY, TVO KIDS.
GEMINIDS METEOR SHOWER
IS HAPPENING TONIGHT.
AT 9 PM,
YOU MAY BE ABLE TO CATCH
ABOUT 20 METEORS AN HOUR
IF YOU ARE IN THE CITY,
AND AS MANY AS 120 IN AREA...
AREAS, SORRY,
WITH LESS LIGHT POLLUTION.
NOW THAT'S A LOT OF WISHES.
THIS METEOR SHOWER
HAPPENS BECAUSE THE EARTH
PASSES THROUGH
A CLOUD OF DEBRIS.
THEY TRAVEL A LOT SLOWER THAN
METEORS FROM OTHER SPACE EVENTS,
CAUSING THE TAILS OF LIGHT
TO LINGER A BIT LONGER.
SO GO OUTSIDE
AND ENJOY MOTHER NATURE'S
SPECTACULAR LIGHT SHOW.
WHAT WILL YOU BE WISHING
FOR TONIGHT?
GO TO TVOKIDS.COM
AND ANSWER OUR OPEN WEB POLL.
NOW STAY TUNED, TVO KIDS,
BECAUSE WE ARE TALKING ABOUT
THE TFC CHAMPIONS,
UP NEXT.
