Hi, I'm Ricky, with your morning Newsround. Coming up: I'm here in | :00:00. | :00:14. | |
Portsmouth to find out more about the role of the Royal Navy in World | :00:15. | :00:16. | |
War I. Jose Mourinho had this to say about | :00:17. | :00:21. | |
last night's Chelsea performance: it was a joke. | :00:22. | :00:27. | |
But first to those high levels of air pollution we told you about | :00:28. | :00:30. | |
yesterday. The government has issued another warning this morning after | :00:31. | :00:33. | |
some parts of England reached the highest levels on the government's | :00:34. | :00:38. | |
air quality scale. Forecasters say parts of northwest England, the | :00:39. | :00:40. | |
Midlands, north Wales and southwest Scotland will also be hit today. | :00:41. | :00:44. | |
There's more info about where the pollution is coming from over on the | :00:45. | :00:47. | |
Newsround website. Today sees two brand new major | :00:48. | :00:51. | |
exhibits open at the Royal Navy's National Museum in Portsmouth. They | :00:52. | :00:56. | |
include the huge gun that fired the first British shot of World War I, | :00:57. | :01:01. | |
on the 5th of August, 1914. In the Great War over 43,000 from the Royal | :01:02. | :01:05. | |
Navy died at sea. Ayshah's at the museum for us this morning. | :01:06. | :01:16. | |
I am here standing in front of the gun you were talking about. It is | :01:17. | :01:21. | |
absolutely huge. It took six people to fire that gun at sea. Joining me | :01:22. | :01:25. | |
is that you rate of the museum. Matthew, can you tell us a little | :01:26. | :01:30. | |
bit about what life was like on board at that time? | :01:31. | :01:34. | |
I think it was pretty tough. View were working that gun, you were on | :01:35. | :01:40. | |
deck, you had the sea breaking on you, you had people firing at you, | :01:41. | :01:43. | |
but you also lived in a very small space. You could your hammock next | :01:44. | :01:48. | |
40 other men in very small space. Was tough. | :01:49. | :01:52. | |
What were some of the personal stories of some of the men on | :01:53. | :01:55. | |
board? We have the story of the 14-year-old | :01:56. | :01:59. | |
who served at sea, there was a Royal Marine who when he joined up was | :02:00. | :02:05. | |
just four feet. About the same height as me! Why is | :02:06. | :02:10. | |
it so important to learn about World War I and the impact it had? It's | :02:11. | :02:14. | |
important because it involved millions of people and hundreds of | :02:15. | :02:18. | |
thousands of people died. It is interesting to look back from | :02:19. | :02:21. | |
where we are today and think about how different our lives are today. | :02:22. | :02:27. | |
Thank you, Matthew. You can find out more about the role of the Navy in | :02:28. | :02:31. | |
World War I on the newsround website. | :02:32. | :02:34. | |
This morning you've been telling us that you think politicians should be | :02:35. | :02:38. | |
better role models for kids. It comes after the Prime Minister David | :02:39. | :02:41. | |
Cameron and the Leader of the Opposition Ed Miliband traded | :02:42. | :02:43. | |
insults in Parliament during Prime minister's questions. First, Ed | :02:44. | :02:47. | |
Miliband called David Cameron a dunce - which means stupid. Then, | :02:48. | :02:51. | |
the Prime Minister called the leader of the Labour party a muppet. | :02:52. | :02:57. | |
So this has really got you guys talking this morning, Clair thinks | :02:58. | :03:00. | |
both parties need to come to agreements quicker and with no | :03:01. | :03:03. | |
screaming and shouting. And Stella says it's poor behaviour. | :03:04. | :03:16. | |
Next, an exciting discovery in Saudi Arabia suggests that the scorching | :03:17. | :03:21. | |
hot deserts there used to be covered in lush grassy land, where large | :03:22. | :03:27. | |
animals roamed. A team of scientists have dug up a huge tusk that's | :03:28. | :03:31. | |
300,000 years old. Here's the BBC's Frank Gardner to explain more. | :03:32. | :03:39. | |
When you think of the Arabian Desert you think of the sun, sheet, wind, | :03:40. | :03:45. | |
and nothing but dust. It didn't used to be like that. A team from Oxford | :03:46. | :03:51. | |
together with Saudi Arabian scientists have been digging under | :03:52. | :03:53. | |
the sand and found a massive elephant task from over 300,000 | :03:54. | :03:58. | |
years ago, and it is beside and right ugly. They reckon at that time | :03:59. | :04:04. | |
much of Arabia was covered in lush grass and almost jungle. And there | :04:05. | :04:09. | |
were probably herds of wild animals roaming around their long before it | :04:10. | :04:15. | |
turned into a desert. This is changing the way everyone thinks | :04:16. | :04:19. | |
about climate change. It wasn't always desert, used to be something | :04:20. | :04:23. | |
different, and early man had stone tools because they were living | :04:24. | :04:26. | |
alongside these animals. Chelsea have their work cut out if | :04:27. | :04:29. | |
they want to remain in the Champions League after losing 3-1 in the first | :04:30. | :04:33. | |
leg of their quarter final against Paris St Germain. The French side | :04:34. | :04:36. | |
went 1-nil up after just four minutes, and this goal in injury | :04:37. | :04:40. | |
time by Javier Pastore secured their victory. Eden Hazard did score a | :04:41. | :04:43. | |
precious away goal for Chelsea but the Blues will have a mountain to | :04:44. | :04:47. | |
climb in next Tuesday's return leg. That's all from me, Newsround's back | :04:48. | :04:53. | |
this afternoon. There's more information on the website, | :04:54. | :04:59. | |
including the dad who gave his son's home videos some very special | :05:00. | :05:00. |
