Hi, guys, Ricky here with a detour for the Tour de France coming up.

Plus the exhibition dedicated to loos and poos.

But first to the record-breaking scientists

The team has just resurfaced after spending more than

The lab rests almost 20 metres below the surface, just

It is where Fabien and his team have spent

the past month surrounded by fish, coral and other incredible species.

Seeing those animals in slow motion you see things you never are able to

see. The science lab is kitted out with

air conditioning, a kitchen, bedrooms and even has

a wireless Internet access. Living underwater

the crew were able to spend less time diving and more time observing

marine life and investigating the It has been a difficult endeavour

and it was not without its challenges, but at the end of the

day I feel it has been extraordinarily successful.

Fabien's inspiration for this record-breaking attempt was

his grandfather, Jacques Cousteau, a well-known oceanographer who

spent 30 days living below the Red Sea 50 years ago.

This time around the team's main aim was not to break

the previous record, it was to raise awareness of ocean conservation.

Next, the opening ceremony for the most famous cycling race

in the world, the Tour de France, takes place tonight in Yorkshire.

The first leg of the race begins in Leeds before passing through several

Otley is one of the small towns en route

It has been very busy and there have been loads of bikes. It has been

really exciting. It is a fantastic opportunity for Otley because

decisions are made about how the country is run. But only 4% of

people who are politicians are from a non-white background and it is

something David Cameron says he wants to change. I am at the houses

of parliament and I have brought along Mariama and Ronald and we are

here to speak to Sam Gymiah and David Lammy. Why are there not many

black politicians? It is barriers in education, barriers in the political

parties. It is getting better and all parties are beginning to look

different, but we have got some way to go. Within our community we have

got to have people who want to say I want to make a difference and I am

going to do it through the political process. Our survey suggests

children from all backgrounds are least likely to admire politicians.

So can David and Sam in dash interest Mariama and Ronald? I want

to be a footballer when I am older. Politics is so much better because

you can meet interesting people across the country and the world. If

you care about the world around you and you see things are unhappy about

and you can bring that change about if you become a politician, do it.

Following the last general election in 2010, 27 MPs were from an ethnic

minority background and it is thought this trend will continue.

Both David and Sam hope people from different communities will be

joining them in the houses of parliament.

Finally, a special exhibition on toilets and poo has opened in Japan.

It features a five-metre toilet slide and a singing toilet choir

and everyone who goes is expected to wear poo-shaped hats.

The people behind it say it is educational.
