pictures that show how the heat's affecting our fish. Hey, I'm Leah, | :00:14. | :00:20. | |
we're live - also on the way... What happens when N Dubz meets classical | :00:20. | :00:27. | |
music? Stay tuned to find out. So you've certainly been making the | :00:27. | :00:31. | |
most of the good weather this summer, but for the UK's fish | :00:31. | :00:34. | |
population it's a different story. Tens of thousands of fish have died | :00:34. | :00:37. | |
because of the recent hot temperatures and now the Environment | :00:37. | :00:40. | |
Agency is appealing for your help. We sent Martin to the waters edge to | :00:40. | :00:46. | |
find out more. Shocking and upsetting scenes, But unfortunately | :00:46. | :00:49. | |
ones that have become an increasingly familiar sight across | :00:49. | :00:54. | |
the UK's rivers, lakes and ponds this summer. Last month alone the | :00:54. | :01:00. | |
Environment Agency says 50,000 fish died - all because of the weather. | :01:00. | :01:03. | |
The hottest summer for 16 years has meant soaring temperatures AND lower | :01:03. | :01:09. | |
than usual rainfall. Something that's caused oxygen levels in water | :01:09. | :01:13. | |
to reduce - suffocating the fish. The short bursts of heavy rain have | :01:13. | :01:16. | |
washed pollutants off roads and fields into rivers - poisoning many | :01:16. | :01:26. | |
:01:26. | :01:27. | ||
of those left over. With the high temperatures kick in the rivers | :01:27. | :01:31. | |
cannot cope. You can see here, the level is quite good. It is that the | :01:31. | :01:36. | |
normal level and the water is clear and there is no pollution and the | :01:36. | :01:44. | |
fish are healthy. The Environment Agency are pumping fresh water into | :01:44. | :01:47. | |
rivers and lakes to try and create zones of oxygenated water But they | :01:47. | :01:51. | |
also want your help They are saying to look for tell tale signs. Fish | :01:51. | :01:57. | |
gasping for breath. They could be upside down. White To give the fish | :01:57. | :02:01. | |
a chance some anglers will also be asked to stop fishing in certain | :02:01. | :02:04. | |
areas. With the great weather set to continue for a little longer the | :02:04. | :02:08. | |
number of casualties is likely to rise - so keep your eyes peeled the | :02:08. | :02:13. | |
next time you're down by the water. Next - How often do you get to play | :02:13. | :02:17. | |
outside? Less than your mums and dads did when they were kids, a new | :02:17. | :02:20. | |
survey suggests. Parents say worries over traffic and strangers were the | :02:20. | :02:23. | |
biggest reasons they don't let you lot out. Disturbing the neighbours | :02:23. | :02:26. | |
was another concern. The survey for National Playday spoke to 3000 | :02:26. | :02:30. | |
children and parents in the UK. Well, the survey also suggests that | :02:30. | :02:34. | |
lots of kids would like to play outside more if they could and | :02:34. | :02:38. | |
you've been telling us what you think on the Newsround website. | :02:38. | :02:42. | |
Sarah in Luton says: "I wish I could play outside more but my parents | :02:42. | :02:45. | |
stop me, saying traffic and cars are dangerous." But Zaynab in Essex | :02:45. | :02:49. | |
says: "It's safe where I live and the neighbours actually like it when | :02:49. | :02:51. | |
they see us playing outside happily." Now classical music's | :02:51. | :02:54. | |
boring, right? Wrong! Even if Beethoven isn't your thing how about | :02:54. | :02:57. | |
Fazer from N-Dubz griming up one of the UK's best known orchestral | :02:57. | :03:00. | |
venues? He's on a mission to encourage young people to discover | :03:00. | :03:05. | |
classical music for a new TV show - but can he pull it off? Here's | :03:05. | :03:15. | |
:03:15. | :03:18. | ||
Ricky, and first Fazer to explain. Ten weeks ago, I dish and musicians | :03:18. | :03:22. | |
to form a new band and I went to see whether I could open their ears and | :03:22. | :03:31. | |
eyes to classical music. What do you think about? Is it Beethoven?I | :03:31. | :03:36. | |
found some amazing musicians and then dropped the bomb. We will be | :03:36. | :03:42. | |
playing at the Proms at the world-renowned Royal Albert Hall. | :03:42. | :03:49. | |
What is it like to work with Fazer? He is very supportive and he makes | :03:49. | :03:55. | |
us feel comfortable. He understands us because he is young. You have to | :03:55. | :04:02. | |
come and perform or go home. I got the opportunity to perform last year | :04:02. | :04:08. | |
with the orchestra. It opened my eyes to that type of music and when | :04:08. | :04:15. | |
you are the two worlds together, the contemporary music that we do, and | :04:15. | :04:19. | |
perform it with an orchestra, like people and live musicians, the sound | :04:19. | :04:25. | |
that you get is great. Sam Agro we did not really know about classical | :04:25. | :04:32. | |
music and he introduced us. Psion macro the transition from where we | :04:32. | :04:41. | |
were to where we are now is amazing. I am nervous, but I am prepared. | :04:41. | :04:45. | |
Almost done but what better way to end than with this escape artist who | :04:45. | :04:48. | |
handcuffed himself and got inside a locked box before being dropped out | :04:48. | :04:52. |
