Hello there news fans, welcome to Newsround. She's Hayley, I'm Ricky, | :00:18. | :00:24. | |
and we're live over the next nine minutes. Coming up: Cameras in the | :00:24. | :00:32. | |
classroom. We'll hear your views on CCTV in schools. | :00:32. | :00:36. | |
And what's Richard III doing in this car park in Leicester? | :00:36. | :00:39. | |
But first, it's rare for a Prime Minister to make a public apology, | :00:40. | :00:42. | |
but today David Cameron has said sorry to the families of Liverpool | :00:43. | :00:49. | |
fans who died in the worst disaster in British football history. 96 | :00:49. | :00:52. | |
fans at a match in Sheffield 23 years ago were killed because of | :00:52. | :00:56. | |
overcrowding. Today, important documents about those events have | :00:56. | :01:00. | |
been released for the first time. The Prime Minister said sorry for | :01:00. | :01:03. | |
two things - first, that the fans were blamed for the tragedy, and | :01:03. | :01:11. | |
secondly, for taking more than 20 years for the truth to come out. | :01:11. | :01:17. | |
behalf of the Government and indeed our country, I am profoundly sorry | :01:17. | :01:21. | |
that this double injustice has been left uncorrected for so lock. | :01:21. | :01:23. | |
The events at Hillsborough might have been 23 years ago, but | :01:23. | :01:26. | |
feelings are still very raw for the people of Liverpool. Ore's been | :01:26. | :01:31. | |
looking into what happened. It started like any other football | :01:31. | :01:35. | |
match, but ended in tragedy. The 1989 FA cup semifinal between | :01:35. | :01:38. | |
Liverpool and Nottingham Forest was stopped just a few minutes after | :01:38. | :01:43. | |
kick-off. Severe overcrowding at one end of the ground led to 96 | :01:43. | :01:48. | |
Liverpool fans being killed. Hundreds more were injured. Too | :01:48. | :01:51. | |
many people were allowed into a small area of the Hillsborough | :01:51. | :01:55. | |
Stadium in Sheffield, with no way out. Back then, there were barriers | :01:55. | :02:00. | |
to keep fans off the pitch, so many of them simply had nowhere to go. A | :02:00. | :02:03. | |
newspaper story at the time blamed Liverpool fans, and that caused a | :02:03. | :02:06. | |
lot of anger. An official investigation afterwards, though, | :02:06. | :02:09. | |
said it was the police's fault for not controlling the crowd and | :02:09. | :02:16. | |
letting in too many fans. But lots of the victims' families thought | :02:16. | :02:20. | |
more should have been done. They believe lives could have been saved | :02:20. | :02:23. | |
if the police and ambulance services acted more quickly. For | :02:23. | :02:26. | |
more than 20 years they've been asking to see all the information | :02:26. | :02:34. | |
from the police reports. It is not about vengeance. It's about the | :02:34. | :02:38. | |
truth of Hillsborough, instead of blaming the fans and the people who | :02:38. | :02:43. | |
died, put the responsibility where it rightfully belongs. The events | :02:43. | :02:48. | |
of 23 years ago have had a major impact on football safety. Big | :02:48. | :02:52. | |
stadiums have to be all-serious. Barriers and fences are gone. Just | :02:52. | :02:58. | |
some of the action taken to try to prevent a tragedy like Hillsborough | :02:58. | :03:01. | |
ever happening again. Some of the families say today's | :03:01. | :03:05. | |
apology won't bring back those who died but they have expressed how | :03:05. | :03:09. | |
grateful they were to the people in charge of writing the report. | :03:09. | :03:13. | |
you so much for what they have done today, because they exonerated all | :03:13. | :03:18. | |
our fans. They've made our city proud today, but most importantly | :03:19. | :03:23. | |
they made them 96 rest in peace for the first time in all them years. | :03:23. | :03:33. | |
:03:33. | :03:33. | ||
So thank you very much. To other stories now. How do you | :03:33. | :03:36. | |
feel about being watched at school? I'm not talking about teachers | :03:36. | :03:39. | |
keeping an eye on you during break time and lessons, but cameras | :03:39. | :03:42. | |
picking up your every move in the changing rooms and toilets. A | :03:42. | :03:45. | |
report by the campaign group, Big Brother Watch, says more than 200 | :03:45. | :03:48. | |
schools in England, Scotland and Wales use cameras. They reckon it's | :03:48. | :03:51. | |
an invasion of pupils' privacy, but some schools say it keeps people | :03:51. | :03:54. | |
safe. Let's hear what they think about it at one school in | :03:54. | :04:02. | |
Oxfordshire. If something happened, having the cameras there might not | :04:02. | :04:09. | |
make a difference. It might make it quicker to identify someone but | :04:09. | :04:13. | |
they shouldn't be there in the in the first place. If something | :04:13. | :04:17. | |
happened in the schools that shouldn't happen, it could pick it | :04:17. | :04:23. | |
up on the camera. It would show a lack of trust with the pupils. | :04:23. | :04:26. | |
day you've been having your say on this on the Newsround website. This | :04:26. | :04:29. | |
message came in from Brunts School in Nottinghamshire. "We should have | :04:29. | :04:32. | |
cameras on the outside of the buildings, and in corridors, but | :04:32. | :04:35. | |
not in areas that are private, like toilets and changing rooms." | :04:35. | :04:38. | |
Taylor in Derbyshire says, "I think that school pupils should have ties | :04:38. | :04:41. | |
with microphones, not cameras, and somewhere to monitor and record the | :04:41. | :04:45. | |
pupils' voices." But Alexandra in Lancashire says, | :04:45. | :04:48. | |
"I don't think cameras should be used in schools, because pupils | :04:48. | :04:55. | |
should be trusted." Thank you for those, guys. | :04:56. | :04:59. | |
Time for an update now on one of the stories we were talking about | :04:59. | :05:02. | |
yesterday. A charity has lost its court battle to stop the killing of | :05:02. | :05:05. | |
thousands of badgers in England. It means a trial cull will now go | :05:06. | :05:08. | |
ahead in parts of Gloucestershire and Somerset. The Badger Trust | :05:08. | :05:11. | |
think killing the animals wouldn't stop the spread of a deadly disease | :05:11. | :05:15. | |
that can pass to cows from badgers. But a judge has ruled that the | :05:15. | :05:18. | |
Government is right to go ahead with it. | :05:18. | :05:21. | |
Now, we all know him from CBBC's Horrible Histories, but the | :05:21. | :05:24. | |
whereabouts of Richard III's remains have always been a mystery. | :05:24. | :05:27. | |
But now we can reveal he's been found underneath a car park in | :05:28. | :05:33. | |
Leicester. Not the most glam place for a King! Experts started digging | :05:33. | :05:37. | |
there last month at the site of a Medieval church after they found | :05:37. | :05:39. | |
documents saying that's where he could be. And they've now found | :05:39. | :05:49. | |
:05:49. | :05:50. | ||
bones, which they think are his. Nel's sent this report. Car parks. | :05:50. | :05:54. | |
Not usually the most exciting places on earth, but that one over | :05:54. | :05:59. | |
there is an exception. It is here in Leicester that the bones of | :05:59. | :06:04. | |
Richard third, the last King of York have been found. That's what | :06:04. | :06:08. | |
researchers hope. They've started digging here last month and there's | :06:08. | :06:16. | |
been a major break-through. found a skeleton in a grave, no | :06:16. | :06:21. | |
body. If it really is Richard III why is that important to us? He is | :06:21. | :06:26. | |
the only King in we don't know where he was buried. He was also | :06:26. | :06:29. | |
the last Medieval King of England. The last King to be killed in bat | :06:29. | :06:34. | |
until England. There's all sorts of mysteries involving him. If this is | :06:34. | :06:40. | |
him we may be able to answer some of those mysteries. Richard III was | :06:40. | :06:44. | |
not always a kind King, having been accused of killing his own nephew | :06:44. | :06:50. | |
to stay in power, and refusing to back down in the Battle of Bosworth. | :06:50. | :06:53. | |
He was killed and buried in Leicester church. The remains found | :06:53. | :07:01. | |
in the car park have been sent to a lab to test its deNA against the | :07:01. | :07:05. | |
descendants of his sister, Anne of York. How sure are you that this | :07:05. | :07:10. | |
could really be King Richard's body? As an archaeologist I'm not | :07:10. | :07:15. | |
sure. We have to wait for DNA to see if it is him. Until we have a | :07:15. | :07:21. | |
match, it could be anyone. We'll have to wait 12 weeks to see if the | :07:21. | :07:27. | |
DNA matches. The plan is to give him the burial that a King deserves. | :07:27. | :07:32. | |
We'll keep you updated on that one. Want to see the latest Ed toigs the | :07:32. | :07:38. | |
US Army? This is Alpha, the robotic dog. He's been developed to go out | :07:38. | :07:43. | |
with American troops into dangerous situations and is controlled bay | :07:43. | :07:46. | |
touchscreen computer. The robopup can stand upright and walk for 20 | :07:46. | :07:50. | |
miles without a break. I could do with one of them! | :07:50. | :07:52. | |
They'll all be practising their foxtrots and cha-cha-chas right now. | :07:52. | :07:55. | |
Oh yes, the stars of the new Strictly are getting seriously | :07:55. | :07:58. | |
excited about the start of the new series this Saturday. So over to a | :07:58. | :08:01. | |
couple of our favourites here at Newsround. Victoria Pendleton, | :08:01. | :08:04. | |
who's swapping her cycle helmet for a much more glittery headpiece, and | :08:04. | :08:06. | |
Dani Harmer from Tracy Beaker, who's saying goodbye to the care | :08:06. | :08:13. | |
home and hello to the ballroom! Watch out for flashes here. I've | :08:13. | :08:19. | |
always wanted to be able to dance. I've never had a dance lesson, and | :08:19. | :08:22. | |
how glamorous it is. The dresses, all the music, the hair and make-up. | :08:22. | :08:26. | |
It is so different from what I'm used to. I just thought why not | :08:26. | :08:30. | |
give it a try. Everyone is brilliant, to be fair. The everyone | :08:30. | :08:35. | |
has rhythm. It could be any of us, to be honest. It is nice to be on | :08:35. | :08:39. | |
telly for so long that you have a fan base. I'm hoping they will back | :08:39. | :08:46. |
