Shock for tennis fans as Djokovic crashes out of Wimbledon. | 0:00:13 | 0:00:16 | |
Germany powers through to the Euros semi finals | 0:00:16 | 0:00:18 | |
and the race with a | 0:00:18 | 0:00:19 | |
difference in Finland. | 0:00:19 | 0:00:23 | |
This week marks 100 years since the Battle of Somme, | 0:00:32 | 0:00:34 | |
one of the deadliest events of the First World War. | 0:00:34 | 0:00:37 | |
Martin's been to France, where it happened, to meet Laurie, | 0:00:37 | 0:00:44 | |
who's tracing the steps of his great great Uncle | 0:00:44 | 0:00:46 | |
who fought in the battle. | 0:00:46 | 0:00:47 | |
I'm here to meet some kids from all over the UK who have | 0:00:47 | 0:00:50 | |
travelled here to France to go on the same journey | 0:00:50 | 0:00:52 | |
the soldiers did 100 years ago. One of them is Laurie. | 0:00:52 | 0:00:55 | |
I'm trying to learn about my great-great-uncle. | 0:00:55 | 0:00:57 | |
I already know that his name is Joshua | 0:00:57 | 0:00:59 | |
Stevens and he came here to fight. | 0:00:59 | 0:01:01 | |
That's all I know at the moment. | 0:01:01 | 0:01:02 | |
So, Simon, what can you tell us about | 0:01:02 | 0:01:04 | |
Laurie's great great uncle? | 0:01:04 | 0:01:06 | |
We've been able to find out that Joshua | 0:01:06 | 0:01:08 | |
Stevens was one of eight children, he enlisted in the spring of 1916 | 0:01:08 | 0:01:11 | |
in the eighth battalion in the | 0:01:11 | 0:01:13 | |
Worcestershire Regiment. | 0:01:13 | 0:01:22 | |
He would have headed out to France, where he arrived in time to | 0:01:22 | 0:01:26 | |
take part in the battle of the Somme. | 0:01:26 | 0:01:28 | |
He would have spent a lot of | 0:01:28 | 0:01:29 | |
the winter very uncomfortable in unpleasant conditions, experiencing | 0:01:29 | 0:01:31 | |
all of the worst that the weather and the Germans could throw at him. | 0:01:31 | 0:01:34 | |
Laurie, do you think you could handle those conditions? | 0:01:34 | 0:01:37 | |
No, I don't think I could actually. | 0:01:37 | 0:01:38 | |
It sounds horrible. | 0:01:38 | 0:01:39 | |
But like millions of soldiers fighting on the Somme through the | 0:01:39 | 0:01:42 | |
First World War, Laurie's great-great-uncle | 0:01:42 | 0:01:43 | |
didn't make it home. | 0:01:43 | 0:01:45 | |
He died whilst fighting here on the 24th | 0:01:45 | 0:01:47 | |
of April 1917 aged 20-years-old. | 0:01:47 | 0:01:48 | |
I'm proud of what my great-great-uncle did. | 0:01:48 | 0:01:50 | |
He was a very brave person. | 0:01:50 | 0:01:52 | |
This huge building behind me is the Thiepval memorial | 0:01:52 | 0:01:55 | |
to the missing. | 0:01:55 | 0:01:56 | |
For the soldiers who died fighting for | 0:01:56 | 0:01:59 | |
the British side during World War I, but were never found. | 0:01:59 | 0:02:02 | |
It's here that Laurie has a special task. | 0:02:02 | 0:02:05 | |
Joshua Stevens is here on one of the panels | 0:02:05 | 0:02:08 | |
and I'm going to show my respect by the placing these flowers. | 0:02:08 | 0:02:14 | |
Joshua Stevens is one of more than 72,000 | 0:02:14 | 0:02:19 | |
soldiers names carved into the walls here. | 0:02:19 | 0:02:21 | |
All around the world there are | 0:02:21 | 0:02:23 | |
memorials like Thiepval to ensure that those who died during | 0:02:23 | 0:02:26 | |
the war are never forgotten. | 0:02:26 | 0:02:30 | |
Go online for everything you need to know about the Battle | 0:02:30 | 0:02:32 | |
of the Somme Including the story of a 12-year-old boy who ran off | 0:02:32 | 0:02:35 | |
to fight in the war. | 0:02:35 | 0:02:36 | |
It's an incredible story. | 0:02:36 | 0:02:41 | |
Sport now and the biggest shock of the Wimbledon tournament so far. | 0:02:41 | 0:02:44 | |
World number one Novak Djokovic is out. | 0:02:44 | 0:02:46 | |
He was beaten by American Sam Querrey in four sets. | 0:02:46 | 0:02:48 | |
Even though Djokovic seemed pretty unhappy with his performance, | 0:02:48 | 0:02:50 | |
he still praised his opponent. | 0:02:50 | 0:02:56 | |
Congratulations to Sam. | 0:02:56 | 0:02:57 | |
He played a terrific match. | 0:02:57 | 0:03:00 | |
He serves very well, as he usually does, and I think that | 0:03:00 | 0:03:04 | |
part of his game was brutal today. | 0:03:04 | 0:03:08 | |
He made a lot of free points with the first serve and just | 0:03:08 | 0:03:11 | |
well done, you know. | 0:03:11 | 0:03:14 | |
He overpowered me. | 0:03:14 | 0:03:18 | |
No such problems for world number two Andy Murray, | 0:03:18 | 0:03:20 | |
who stormed into the fourth round in straight sets. | 0:03:20 | 0:03:22 | |
He beat Australia's John Millman. | 0:03:22 | 0:03:31 | |
It wasn't just the tennis that was exciting yesterday, | 0:03:31 | 0:03:33 | |
Germany knocked out Italy on penalties at the | 0:03:33 | 0:03:35 | |
European Championships. | 0:03:35 | 0:03:36 | |
Here's a quick look at what happened. | 0:03:36 | 0:03:38 | |
It was a tight first half with neither side having much | 0:03:38 | 0:03:40 | |
of a chance in front of goal. | 0:03:40 | 0:03:42 | |
But in the 65th minute, Mesut Ozil put Germany ahead | 0:03:42 | 0:03:44 | |
with this slick passing move. | 0:03:44 | 0:03:48 | |
But a moment of madness from defender Jerome Boateng | 0:03:48 | 0:03:50 | |
with a handball in the box, and Italy had a chance | 0:03:50 | 0:03:53 | |
to level, and they did. | 0:03:53 | 0:03:55 | |
The match went into extra time but with nothing between them, | 0:03:55 | 0:03:58 | |
it went to penalties. | 0:03:58 | 0:03:59 | |
Both sides struggled to handle the pressure. | 0:03:59 | 0:04:04 | |
Until at last, in sudden death, Germany finally clinched it. | 0:04:04 | 0:04:12 | |
They've still never lost a shoot out since the 1976 final | 0:04:12 | 0:04:15 | |
of this competition, when they lost to Czechoslovakia | 0:04:15 | 0:04:17 | |
40 years ago. | 0:04:17 | 0:04:20 | |
The Germans will face either France or Iceland in the semifinals, | 0:04:20 | 0:04:23 | |
which kick off later today. | 0:04:23 | 0:04:30 | |
Iceland, who beat England in the last round, are the lowest | 0:04:30 | 0:04:33 | |
ranked side in the tournament. | 0:04:33 | 0:04:34 | |
So why have they done so well and how will they do against France? | 0:04:34 | 0:04:37 | |
We've been asking some icelandic fans. | 0:04:37 | 0:04:40 | |
I think they are doing well, because a lot | 0:04:40 | 0:04:42 | |
of Icelanders are at the | 0:04:42 | 0:04:44 | |
stadium rooting for them and I think they get a lot of support from them. | 0:04:44 | 0:04:49 | |
Why do you think Iceland is doing so well in this tournament? | 0:04:49 | 0:04:52 | |
Because the other sides aren't! | 0:04:52 | 0:04:55 | |
I think that Iceland will definitely win. | 0:04:55 | 0:05:02 | |
I think it will be a tie at 1-1 and there will be | 0:05:02 | 0:05:05 | |
a penalty shoot out at Iceland will win. | 0:05:05 | 0:05:08 | |
So, you think they will win? Yes. | 0:05:08 | 0:05:12 | |
I think they will have this much goals. | 0:05:12 | 0:05:15 | |
HE CHANTS IN ICELANDIC | 0:05:15 | 0:05:17 | |
We are going to win 1-0. You're sure? | 0:05:17 | 0:05:21 | |
Yes. | 0:05:21 | 0:05:29 | |
THEY CHANT IN ICELANDIC | 0:05:29 | 0:05:31 | |
Finally, to a sport of a more unusual kind, the annual | 0:05:31 | 0:05:34 | |
Wife Carrying World Championships in Finland. | 0:05:34 | 0:05:35 | |
People from twelve countries took part, but it was this | 0:05:35 | 0:05:39 | |
russian couple who won. | 0:05:39 | 0:05:42 | |
In the race men have to carry their partner around | 0:05:42 | 0:05:44 | |
a 235-metre obstacle course, which included a very | 0:05:44 | 0:05:47 | |
slippery swimming pool. | 0:05:47 | 0:05:50 | |
The most ridiculous thing ever! | 0:05:50 | 0:05:52 | |
Bless them. | 0:05:52 | 0:05:54 | |
That's all for now, I'll be back just after 2pm. | 0:05:54 | 0:05:59 |
