(upbeat music plays)

An animation shows the colourful TVO Kids News logo against a white background.

Daniel is in his twenties, with short curly brown hair and wears glasses, pale trousers and a beige TVO Kids T-shirt.

Daniel says WELCOME BACK TO
TVO K NEWS.
OUR NEXT STORY'S
ON THE WAY, BUT FIRST,
I WANNA LET YOU KNOW ABOUT THE
DANFORTH STRONG VIGIL,
THAT WILL TAKE PLACE TONIGHT
AT 7 PM IN TORONTO.

A small window on the top left corner of the screen shows a picture of flowers left by a graffiti that reads "We are Danforth." A caption under it reads "Danforth's strong vigil."

He says ALL ARE INVITED TO HONOUR
THE LIVES OF
THOSE AFFECTED BY
SUNDAY NIGHT'S TRAGEDY,
AND STAND STRONG WITH THE
DANFORTH COMMUNITY.
AND REMEMBER, KIDS HELP PHONE
IS A 24-7 CONFIDENTIAL
AND FREE RESOURCE
FOR KIDS AND TEENS
WHO NEED AND WANT TO
TALK TO SOMEONE.

Now, a slate reads "1 800 668 6868. KidsHelpPhone.ca."

He continues IF YOU CANNOT TALK TO
A TRUSTED ADULT,
PLEASE CONTACT THE TRAINED
COUNCILLORS AT KIDS HELP PHONE
BY PHONE OR ONLINE.
NOW, TAKE A LOOK A THIS.

Holding an amber stone, he says IT IS CALLED AMBER.

The picture of an amber stone appears. The caption changes to "History in amber."

He continues IT'S PRETTY COOL, ISN'T IT?
IF YOU LOOK REALLY CLOSELY
AT AMBER,
SOMETIMES YOU CAN SEE TINY
SPECKS INSIDE IT.
AMBER IS INTERESTED BECAUSE IT
ORIGINATES AS TREE RESIN,
A LIQUID LIKE SAP, THAT FLOWS
OUT OF DAMAGED TREES.
AS IT FLOWS, IT COLLECTS THINGS
IN ITS PATH AND TRAPS THEM.
LIKE THESE TINY SPECKS.
LATER, IT BEGINS TO HARDEN AND
EVENTUALLY TURNS INTO AMBER,
A GEM STONE.
NOW, WHILE AMBER JEWELRY
IS NICE TO HAVE,
IT IS ALSO A VALUABLE
SUBSTANCE FOR SCIENTISTS
BECAUSE OF FOSSILS THAT
CAN BE TRAPPED INSIDE.
NOW, RECENTLY, RESEARCHERS HAVE
MADE A HUGE DISCOVERY
OF A VERY TINY BABY SNAKE,
99 MILLION YEARS OLD,
TRAPPED IN A PIECE OF AMBER.

Now, the picture of a green snake appears.

He continues THIS SNAKE HAS PROVIDED
THE FIRST EVIDENCE
THAT SNAKES WERE LIVING
IN FORESTS DURING THE
CRETACEOUS PERIOD.
JUST BEFORE
TYRANNOSAURUS REX.
NOW, EVEN THOUGH THE HEAD OF
THIS LITTLE GUY WAS MISSING,
THE REST OF HIS
BODY WAS INTACT,
WHICH ALLOWS SCIENTISTS
TO STUDY EVERY BONE.
THEY ALSO GAVE HIM A NAME.
LET'S TRY THIS...
"XIAOPHIS MYANMARENSIS,"
WHICH MEANS,
"DAWN SNAKE OF MYANMAR,"
THE COUNTRY WHERE THE
AMBER CAME FROM.
THAT'S A BIG NAME
FOR A TINY GUY.
I THINK HE CAN LIVE UP TO IT.
NOW, I WONDER, DO YOU THINK
THERE'S ANY DINOSAURS
IN MY PIECE OF AMBER?
WELL, TVO KIDS, STAY TUNED FOR
OUR NEXT FEATURE STORY UP NEXT.
HMM, MAYBE.
LET'S SEE.
