India's Smog Problem: Air Pollution in Delhi - Today's Biggest News

Air pollution has become a massive problem in parts of India! Right now in Delhi, it's reached such a dangerous level that schools have closed and people are being told to stay inside to protect themselves! This smoky haze is covering India's capital territory - Delhi. Around 40 million people live here, and right now the smog is so bad that authorities have declared a public health emergency. While air pollution is a common problem in Delhi - it's never been this bad before. In fact, experts reckon breathing in the air here is equivalent to smoking 33 cigarettes a day. Schools have been closed and flights have been diverted because it's hard for pilots to see! So what's caused it? Well, a big problem at this time of year is farmers burning crops to clear their fields and fireworks were recently set off for an Indian cultural festival. Add those to things like car fumes and you have a big problem! It's hoped that some upcoming rainfall will help to clear the smog, but until then, people are being told to stay indoors and avoid the polluted air. -- DROUGHT STRICKEN NSW FINALLY GETS SOME RAIN We've told you a lot about the drought that people in parts of New South Wales and Queensland are going through at the moment, but this weekend some of them got a really exciting present.

She beat Elina Svitolina to win the WTA Finals in China last night - a comp for the year's best female tennis players. But she didn't just win this big trophy, she also pocketed 6.4 million dollars for coming in first. That's the biggest prize ever won by a tennis player, male or female! But of course, Barty gave all the credit to her team. She's the first Aussie to ever finish the year as world number one since rankings became a thing. It's pretty amazing when you think that she started the year as world number 15, but put in some awesome performances including winning the French Open which really boosted her numbers! But no matter how great 2019 was, Barty says she's already looking forward to next year. -- SKYSCRAPER SPRINGS A LEAK Discovering your skyscraper has a leak - well that probably falls into the not so great category.
