Good morning.

0:00:150:00:16

Ayshah here with Tuesday's Newsround.

0:00:160:00:18

Coming up in the next five.

0:00:180:00:19

This is the UK's next Prime Minister.

0:00:190:00:21

She'll move into Downing Street tomorrow.

0:00:210:00:22

And the monkeys who are smarter than we thought.

0:00:220:00:26

First our top story this morning.

0:00:310:00:32

Theresa May will become the UK's second female Prime Minister

0:00:320:00:34

on Wednesday, taking charge of the country at one

0:00:340:00:37

of the most stormy times in recent political history.

0:00:370:00:39

But who is she?

0:00:390:00:40

I've been taking a look.

0:00:400:00:42

She's been described as confident, hard-working and unflappable.

0:00:420:00:47

Theresa May has long been tipped as a future

0:00:470:00:49

Prime Minister and yesterday, we found out that she'd get the top

0:00:490:00:52

job sooner than we thought.

0:00:520:00:55

We are going to give people more control over their lives

0:00:550:00:59

and that's how, together, we're going to build

0:00:590:01:01

a better Britain.

0:01:010:01:03

But why are we getting a new Prime Minister

0:01:030:01:05

in the first place?

0:01:050:01:09

There was a chance for someone else to be the Prime Minister

0:01:090:01:12

because the man who does the job at the moment,

0:01:120:01:14

David Cameron, decided to give it up after the result of that big vote

0:01:140:01:18

we had about whether we should stay in the European Union or not.

0:01:180:01:21

A vicar's daughter from Oxfordshire, she went to a state school before

0:01:210:01:24

going on to study geography at Oxford university.

0:01:240:01:26

It's where she met her future husband, Phillip, who she's been

0:01:260:01:29

married to for the last 36 years.

0:01:290:01:33

The 59-year-old has been Home Secretary for the last six

0:01:330:01:35

years, which is a big job in the government.

0:01:350:01:39

It means she is in charge of things like police, keeping the country

0:01:390:01:42

safe and immigration.

0:01:420:01:44

She's got the backing of the current Prime Minister David Cameron.

0:01:440:01:49

On Wednesday, I will attend the House of Commons

0:01:490:01:51

for Prime Minister's Questions and then, after that,

0:01:510:01:53

I expect to go to the palace and offer my resignation so we'll

0:01:530:01:57

have a new Prime Minister in that building behind me

0:01:570:01:59

by Wednesday evening.

0:01:590:02:02

So far, Conservative MPs have rallied round their new leader.

0:02:020:02:06

But rival political parties have called for another general election

0:02:060:02:09

to let the British public decide who runs the country.

0:02:090:02:13

Mrs May's supporters have been clear.

0:02:130:02:16

There will be no election until 2020.

0:02:160:02:17

For now, Theresa May is preparing to lead to the UK as the country's

0:02:170:02:21

second ever female Prime Minister.

0:02:210:02:31

Now if you've ever dreamed of winning gold

0:02:320:02:34

at the Olympics then listen up.

0:02:340:02:36

A big campaign is being launched today to find

0:02:360:02:38

future stars of Team GB.

0:02:380:02:39

Among the people behind it is Olympic legend

0:02:390:02:41

Sir Steve Redgrave.

0:02:410:02:42

He spoke to Newsround earlier.

0:02:420:02:44

So, Sir Steve, welcome to Newsround.

0:02:440:02:45

It's good to be here.

0:02:450:02:47

The last time you won a gold medal was back in 2000 Sydney.

0:02:470:02:50

Shall we take a look at that moment?

0:02:500:02:52

Why not?

0:02:520:02:55

COMMENTATOR: Great Britain on the line.

0:02:550:02:57

Here we go.

0:02:570:02:58

Great Britain get the gold medal.

0:02:580:03:00

It's just incredible.

0:03:000:03:02

What was it like to win that gold medal at that moment?

0:03:020:03:07

Absolutely amazing, competing at five different Olympics,

0:03:070:03:09

winning a Gold at each one was amazing.

0:03:090:03:18

Now you've got a campaign to get the next generation at the 2020

0:03:180:03:21

Olympics.

0:03:210:03:22

Tell me a bit about that.

0:03:220:03:23

I got involved in sport of rowing through a small comprehensive school

0:03:230:03:27

I went to because, as I was an intake of new students,

0:03:270:03:29

the head of the English department saw I had big hands and feet,

0:03:290:03:32

and as a youngster that means you are going to grow into a big

0:03:320:03:35

person and rowing suits big people.

0:03:350:03:37

I launched a campaign called Sporting Giants in 2007 and that's

0:03:370:03:39

been really successful and this is our biggest campaign

0:03:390:03:43

to Discover Your Gold, and if anybody out there

0:03:430:03:46

is interested in watching the Games this time and thinking,

0:03:460:03:50

"I fancy a bit of that, I think I could win an Olympic gold

0:03:500:03:53

medal," this is your opportunity.

0:03:530:04:00

Hashtag Discover Your Gold, and you will be assessed

0:04:000:04:02

and if you have got the potential you will be guided

0:04:020:04:05

into different areas.

0:04:050:04:06

There's five programs with it from Paralympics, speed, giants,

0:04:060:04:08

and it could be skiing.

0:04:080:04:10

You could be rowing.

0:04:100:04:11

You could be a sprinter.

0:04:110:04:12

Or doing watersports.

0:04:120:04:13

That's brilliant.

0:04:130:04:14

Thank you very much for joining us at Newsround.

0:04:140:04:17

A pleasure to speak to you.

0:04:170:04:20

Euro 2016 champions Portugal have returned home to a heroes welcome.

0:04:200:04:25

Thousands of fans lined the streets of the capital Lisbon.

0:04:250:04:29

12 years ago, Portugal hosted the Euros and famously lost

0:04:290:04:32

in the final to Greece, so finally Cristiano Ronaldo

0:04:320:04:34

and his team-mates could show off the trophy.

0:04:340:04:44

The six-time Olympic champion is in the Jamaican team

0:04:470:04:49

despite pulling out of their trials with an injury.

0:04:490:04:51

He plans to prove his fitness at the Anniversary Games

0:04:510:04:54

in London later this month, the scene of his 2012 triumphs.

0:04:540:05:01

Capuchin monkeys like this one aren't just cute,

0:05:010:05:04

they're clever too and brainier than scientists used to think.

0:05:040:05:06

The primates have learnt over time how to use stone hammers as tools

0:05:060:05:09

to break into cashew nuts for food.

0:05:090:05:12

But researchers studying them in Brazil have now found tools

0:05:120:05:14

dating back 700 years.

0:05:140:05:15

Much earlier than previously thought.

0:05:150:05:19

We can, for the first time, look back into the behaviour

0:05:190:05:23

of monkey species.

0:05:230:05:26

All our research, our ambitions to look back on the past,

0:05:260:05:31

it's always been human focused and monkeys and other primates,

0:05:310:05:34

we don't know much about how their tool use has involved

0:05:340:05:39

in the species, so this is a window back into the past.

0:05:390:05:44

That's all from me.

0:05:440:05:45

Newsround's back this afternoon.
