Good morning guys, I'm Martin and here's what coming up on Newsround: | :00:00. | :00:12. | |
More UK beaches than ever classed as excellent. | :00:13. | :00:15. | |
And how you stop a panda from getting lonely. | :00:16. | :00:23. | |
But first it may not have been the warmest start to the year but if any | :00:24. | :00:28. | |
of you are brave enough to take a trip to the beach this holiday then | :00:29. | :00:31. | |
I have some good news. A record number of UK beaches have received | :00:32. | :00:34. | |
the top water quality award from the Marine Conservation Trust. And to | :00:35. | :00:37. | |
tell us exactly what that means the BBC's Tim Muffett put down his | :00:38. | :00:41. | |
bucket and spade for a minute to send us this report. | :00:42. | :00:52. | |
It is a beautiful morning near Gosport in Hampshire, where the | :00:53. | :00:54. | |
water quality from this speech has been classed as excellent. Every | :00:55. | :00:58. | |
year scientists test the quality of the water off our beaches and more | :00:59. | :01:04. | |
than ever have reached the top rating. Richard, you are from the | :01:05. | :01:12. | |
Marine conservation Society? It seems we had a really good summer | :01:13. | :01:17. | |
and there was hardly any rainfall so the beaches were not affected by | :01:18. | :01:23. | |
floods which cause the sewers to overflow and go into the sea. The | :01:24. | :01:27. | |
winter was very wet, will that not have made the pollution worse? It | :01:28. | :01:32. | |
would have done at the time. Around the coast, the beaches are not | :01:33. | :01:38. | |
tested. I would imagine it would have been pretty bad at around the | :01:39. | :01:44. | |
time of the floods. What are the dangers of dirty water? You can pick | :01:45. | :01:49. | |
up some infections, and things that can be harmful to you. It is | :01:50. | :01:53. | |
important for people to swim in the sea, to play in the sea that you | :01:54. | :01:59. | |
don't have those bugs to pick up. Some beaches failed to meet -- | :02:00. | :02:07. | |
reached the minimum standard. Water companies and local authorities are | :02:08. | :02:09. | |
being encouraged to make sure sewage does not flow into the sea. But it | :02:10. | :02:15. | |
is good news when it comes to the quality of the water American leader | :02:16. | :02:21. | |
Barack Obama has phoned Russian president, Vladimir Putin, to urge | :02:22. | :02:24. | |
him to help stop protesters in eastern Ukraine. | :02:25. | :02:26. | |
Pro-Russian groups have taken over more government buildings despite a | :02:27. | :02:28. | |
warning of military action from Ukraine. Putin says Russia haven't | :02:29. | :02:33. | |
been interfering. Counter demonstrations calling for the | :02:34. | :02:37. | |
country to stay as one have also been taking place. A crisis meeting | :02:38. | :02:40. | |
between Ukraine, Russia and the West is due to take place on Thursday. | :02:41. | :02:44. | |
You can find out more about what's happening in Ukraine with our guide | :02:45. | :02:47. | |
over on the Newsround website. The medals for this summer's | :02:48. | :02:50. | |
Commonwealth Games in Glasgow have been unveiled. Each medal is being | :02:51. | :02:54. | |
handmade by expert jewellers. They've been designed by Glasgow | :02:55. | :02:55. | |
artist, Jonathan Boyd, who said he wanted to reflect the city as well | :02:56. | :02:59. | |
as a feeling of movement. More than 1,000 medals will be awarded during | :03:00. | :03:05. | |
The Games. From Football now and tonight | :03:06. | :03:09. | |
Arsenal have a pretty important game against West Ham. A win for Arsenal | :03:10. | :03:13. | |
will move them to fourth place above Everton. And Manager, Arsene Wenger, | :03:14. | :03:15. | |
knows, what's required from his team. | :03:16. | :03:20. | |
We want to bounce back in the Premiership. We know one of the main | :03:21. | :03:24. | |
target is the Premiership. Therefore we want to finish strongly and we | :03:25. | :03:31. | |
have a battle with Everton. It is now down to consistency in our final | :03:32. | :03:37. | |
games. And Britain's swimmers continue to break records at the | :03:38. | :03:40. | |
national Championships in Glasgow. Jaz Carlin claimed the fastest time | :03:41. | :03:44. | |
this year in the 800 metres freestyle, breaking her own Welsh | :03:45. | :03:46. | |
record. Staying in the water and the most | :03:47. | :03:49. | |
successful Olympian in history has announced he's making a surprise | :03:50. | :03:52. | |
comeback. Michael Phelps who last in action at the London Olympics will | :03:53. | :03:55. | |
compete at an event in Arizona at the end of the month. Phelps won 22 | :03:56. | :04:00. | |
medals in his career - 18 of them gold. | :04:01. | :04:02. | |
If people are driving their cars at night they usually have street | :04:03. | :04:05. | |
lights to help them see where they're going. Well that might be | :04:06. | :04:08. | |
about to change. These glow-in-the-dark road markings have | :04:09. | :04:11. | |
been unveiled on a 500 metre stretch of highway in the Netherlands. The | :04:12. | :04:13. | |
paint has special powder that charges up in the daytime and slowly | :04:14. | :04:18. | |
releases a green glow at night. A giant panda, who became lonely | :04:19. | :04:22. | |
after her best panda friend was sent to another zoo, has had her own | :04:23. | :04:26. | |
amusement park built in China. Staff built her a swing, climbing frame, | :04:27. | :04:29. | |
parallel bars and even installed a TV showing other pandas to keep her | :04:30. | :04:32. | |
company. And by looking at the smile on her face it seems to be working. | :04:33. | :04:36. | |
That's all from me, Newsround's back right here in about half an hour. | :04:37. | :04:49. | |
From 12:30pm, we will be an string questions on the website. | :04:50. | :04:56. |
