Hey guys, Sonali and Leah here with the run-down of everything you need

:00:20.:00:26.

to know on Newsround today. Lots to pack in including a front row view

:00:26.:00:28.

of one of the most dangerous jobs around.

:00:28.:00:38.
:00:38.:00:40.

And find out just what's got into First, Charlie and the Chocolate

:00:40.:00:44.

Factory, the BFG and Matilda. Just some of the brilliant books written

:00:44.:00:49.

by Roald Dahl, famous all around the world. He wrote them all in a

:00:49.:00:53.

tiny hut at the bottom of his garden. But it's in danger of being

:00:53.:01:03.
:01:03.:01:08.

lost forever unless �500,000 can be Everyone has a favourite Roald Dahl

story, mine was the BFG and all these wonderful characters were

:01:21.:01:23.

created here in this shed. So this is the small space where he would

:01:23.:01:27.

come and work. He would sit in this chair and scribble down his ideas

:01:27.:01:32.

and even his family knew when he was working here, he was not to be

:01:33.:01:41.

disturbed. He wanted to keep the shed so secretive. Everyone in the

:01:41.:01:45.

shed has been left as it was when he was alive. Things like family

:01:45.:01:49.

photos, pencils and even his glasses.

:01:49.:01:53.

But it is starting to fall apart and a rescue plan has been launched

:01:53.:02:00.

to save it. These four walls will be down and rebuilt. It means that

:02:00.:02:04.

everyone will be able to see inside, but it is not an easy task. What we

:02:04.:02:08.

need to do, we need to take photographs of everything, work out

:02:08.:02:11.

where they are. Measure the distances between things and then

:02:11.:02:16.

we need to pack everything up carefully. The stuff that's damaged

:02:16.:02:19.

by insects is exciting because we wrap it up and then we take it to

:02:19.:02:23.

the deep freeze and we put it in the freezer and we kill the pests.

:02:23.:02:33.
:02:33.:02:37.

It is more than 50 years since Since Rahl Dail started writing

:02:37.:02:45.

stories. We can't stop talking about David

:02:45.:02:48.

Walliams and his charity swim along the Thames.

:02:48.:02:52.

Yes, after battling against raw sewage and stomach bugs for eight

:02:52.:02:57.

days, he arrived in Westminster Bridge after 6pm Last Night. The

:02:57.:03:05.

comedian has raised over �1 million for Sport Relief. After swimming

:03:05.:03:10.

for so long, he had enough of water. A bath is the only water I want to

:03:10.:03:16.

see for a highly! -- while!

:03:16.:03:21.

To some of the of the bravest people around. The British troops

:03:21.:03:24.

who diffuse bombs. For the first time we have allowed a close-up

:03:24.:03:29.

look at what life is like for the specialist soldiers who try to find

:03:29.:03:35.

It is one of the most dangerous jobs in the world. High threat

operators from the Army's Royal logistic Corp dismantling a deadly

:03:41.:03:51.
:03:51.:03:53.

bomb. It is a terrifying task.

:03:53.:03:59.

The intense fear of standing on one of these devices is incredibly

:03:59.:04:03.

strong and to be able to understand, I think, you kind of need to be

:04:03.:04:08.

there. The Taliban make these bombs and bury them, often by the

:04:08.:04:11.

roadside to try and hurt or kill British soldiers operating in

:04:12.:04:15.

Afghanistan. The job for this specialist unit is to fin the

:04:15.:04:25.
:04:25.:04:27.

devices and take them apart so that other troops can travel safely.

:04:27.:04:30.

It is, of course, incredibly dangerous. There were seven members

:04:30.:04:35.

of this team when they started, but one man was killed and two have

:04:35.:04:40.

been badly injured. I think I might have something.

:04:40.:04:44.

They have dismantled over 1,000 bombs in the last year, but while

:04:44.:04:49.

the war in Afghanistan continues, they know there will always be more

:04:49.:04:58.

High winds and heavy rain have been causing problems in parts of the UK.

:04:58.:05:02.

Hundreds of homes lost power and there have been flood warnings in

:05:02.:05:12.
:05:12.:05:13.

Scotland and Wales. Steve Back shaw's Deadly 60 has

:05:13.:05:21.

been given a makeover for a programme called Deadly 360. I

:05:21.:05:27.

managed to catch up with him and ask some of your questions.

:05:27.:05:31.

This is the first time in my life that I've touched a lion.

:05:31.:05:36.

Molly, who is eight and from London says, "Do you ever get worried when

:05:36.:05:40.

you're a near an animal that could harm you?". What is really, really

:05:40.:05:44.

important is that you don't actually show any of your emotions

:05:44.:05:50.

to animals because they pick up on them instantly.

:05:50.:05:56.

That is just the most phenomenon amount of power.

:05:56.:06:00.

I keep any emotions unwraps. were comb when you were working

:06:00.:06:10.
:06:10.:06:14.

with wolves? I I was cool. Wolves are my favourite animal in the

:06:14.:06:22.

whole world. Shall I mimic a wolf? Yes, please.

:06:22.:06:26.

If you do that, in the wild and there are wild wolves nearby, they

:06:26.:06:31.

will respond. OK, let's pick Eleanor, she wants

:06:31.:06:35.

to know if you could be any animal, what would that be? Well, I would

:06:35.:06:38.

say I would be a bird. I think it is a very human desire to want to

:06:38.:06:46.

be able to fly. Matilda, this is a really good one,

:06:46.:06:54.

"Dear Steve, I want to be a zoololgist -- zoo algist when I'm

:06:54.:07:02.

older, but I'm allergic to animals.". She could study

:07:02.:07:07.

amphibians and reptiles. My niece wants to know why

:07:07.:07:10.

sometimes you are barefoot when you are out exploring? I find quite

:07:11.:07:13.

often you can be more quiet and more subtle when you are moving

:07:13.:07:18.

around if you don't have great, big, clod hopping boots on. It is

:07:18.:07:22.

sometimes a very good way of getting around and not spooking the

:07:22.:07:28.

wildlife around you. You can catch Steve on Deadly 360

:07:28.:07:32.

on Thursday at 5.15pm on the CBBC Channel.

50 new planets have been discovered by astronomers. They are believed

:07:40.:07:45.

to be up to ten times bigger than our planets, but don't weigh as
