Afternoon, news fans. Ore and Joe here live from Newsround HQ,

bringing you everything you need to know. That's right. England has a

new footy manager, but that's not the only thing happening. Here's

what's on the way: Kelly's out, but who's in? We hear

your X Factor predictions. And I find out how to film wildlife

like the pros. First - It's now official. After 11

weeks of waiting, the England football team has a new manager,

and his name is Roy Hodgson. The West Brom boss has been locked

in talks with FA officials for two days and has finally agreed a four-

year deal. It's fair to say Roy's been around the block a bit - he's

managed 18 teams, including three national sides, during a managerial

career spanning 36 years, but this is his biggest job yet. I'm looking

forward enormously to the task ahead. Everyone knows it is notice

an easy one. I'm also hoping that everybody, fans, supporters,

everybody within the country will get behind the team, because it's

the team that counts. It's the team which will win us matches. I will

do my very best to make sure the team is as well prepared as

possible for the tasks that lie ahead. I'm grateful for the chance

to be the manager of England and I'm looking forward to it.

So, now his appointment has been confirmed, Hodgson can start

focusing on what needs to be done before England's European

Championship campaign starts on 11th June. It looks like he's got a

lot on his plate. The last time England played in a major

tournament was the big one, the World Cup. And things didn't go

well. One of the main reasons because the team was said to be

divided. So Hodgson's first job will be to bring them together and

make them play as a team. It's currently the man with it's

coolest hair in football which wears the armband, but Hodgson want

his own man? Could it be Gerrard? Or what about Danii Murphy?

Stranger things have happened. England's one world class striker,

Rooney, is banned for the first two games. Will we see the return of

the robot-dancing Peter Crouch, or Danii Welbeck. Hodgson's biggest

job will be convincing some fans he's the right man for the job.

Harry Redknapp was a popular choice and it could be difficult to change

people's minds. Good luck to you.

From one powerful position to another. Next, we're talking about

the man who owns a huge chunk of what we read or watch on telly

every day. The Sun newspaper, Sky One, Sky Sports, the company that

makes The Simpsons and movies like Avatar - Rupert Murdoch is involved

in all of them. One of his papers, The News of the World, closed down

last year over claims it was listening into people's private

phone calls. Now a group of MPs has strongly criticised him, saying

he's not a fit boss, and that he totally ignored all the problems.

Up until last summer, the News of the World was one of the most

popular newspapers in the UK. Then everything changed. Reporters

working on the paper were accused of hacking into people's personal

voicemails to try to get news stories. At first it looked like

they were targeting celebrities and politicians. But the mood changed

when it was claimed they had deleted messages on the phone of a

missing schoolgirl called Milly Dowler. It had given her parents

false hope she was still alive. Reporters say they didn't delete

the messages but the News of the World was shut down and Rupert

Murdoch was ordered by MPs to explain what had been going on.

People were very angry that journalists could behave like this,

and protested against Murdoch. One protester made it into the room and

tried to hit him with a foam pie. Rupert Murdoch has always said he

knew nothing about his staff hacking at his newspapers. Today,

the MPs met to give their final verdict. Though they disagree

amongst themselves, their report says Rupert Murdoch is not fit to

run a major international company, and that they are shocked that he

and four of his senior staff say they had no idea that hacking was

going on. This could do a lot to damage

Murdoch's reputation and power, and with another big investigation

still to report, the story is far from over.

Moving on, and there's one big question in the showbiz world today

- who's going to replace this lady on the X Factor? Yes, the lovely

Kelly Rowland has announced she won't be back as a judge in the

next series, mostly because she's just too busy. It's rumoured that

Dannii Minogue could be back to take her place, but nothing's been

decided yet. All day on the website you've been telling us who you'd

you've been telling us who you'd like to see in Kelly's place.

Emmanuel from London says, "I think Jessie J should take her place

because she is funny and will make the show more interesting."

Heather says, "I think Cher Lloyd or Harry Styles should replace her

as they both did great during x factor 2010 and they know their

stuff." And Emily in Leeds says, "I think

someone like Beyonce, Miley Cyrus or Selena Gomez. I would definitely

watch the show if one of them were Keep them coming in, guys.

Next - it's 1st May, so fingers crossed the weather will change

along with the month. We had the wettest April since records began,

with severe flooding across parts of England. In Northamptonshire,

around 1,000 people had to leave their homes because of rising

floodwater. But guess what. More rain is on the way! Hooray!

Brilliant! That's what I wanted to hear.

Next up - whether it's Deadly 60 or Planet Earth, making nature films

takes a lot more than presenters like Steve Backshall. The latest

wildlife documentary, African Cats, took almost three years to film,

with camera people living alongside lions and cheetahs. I went to meet

one of the film makers to ask her how you can make great wildlife

African cats follows the lives of lions and cheetahs trying to

survive in Kenya. It took years to film and award-winning camera woman

Sophie Darlington was one of the main fame makers: it took a huge

team of us over two-and-a-half years out in the Masai Mara in

Kenya. Sometimes the landscape would come and you would lose them.

We couldn't tell them where to go and they didn't get the scene right

you couldn't tell them to do it again. So if you want to take

really good shots and you don't have the latest gear, how can you

do it? As long as you have a story to tell, you can tell it on a phone.

OK, so we haven't got a lion but we've got a tennis ball-loving dog.

Lety! Hello. What would be your top tips for filming her? You want to

be down at the animal's eyelevel, and you want the animal to fill the

frame. That looked great! Another important thing is know your animal.

We know Lety loves tennis balls, so if I give her a tennis ball, you

just film it. Something else to consider is sound. When you are

filming you've got some really good sound, try and get it. GROWLING

That's fantastic, it really adds to the story. Get out there and film

everything and anything. You can tell a story with anything. As long

as it interests you it will interest everyone else. That lady

is living the dream. Finally to the gaggle of geese that

Finally to the gaggle of geese that have made us giggle. A police

officer tries to shoo him off the road in America but he's having
