First, to the multi-million-pound museum makeover. | :00:13. | :00:15. | |
The Imperial War Museum in London is reopening its doors this weekend, | :00:16. | :00:18. | |

Hundreds of items, from tanks to tunics, have been restored. | :00:26. | :00:28. | |
The museum has also brought together more than 1,000 objects | :00:29. | :00:32. | |

Hello, Newsround. If you thought you knew the Imperial War Museum from | :00:46. | :00:51. | |
school trips, you will be surprised next weekend. Lots of technology is | :00:52. | :00:56. | |
here to tell stories from history. You can choose documents and | :00:57. | :00:59. | |
photographs to choose the bits you are interested in. Did you know for | :01:00. | :01:04. | |
example that back in 1915 you would only have to be this high to join | :01:05. | :01:09. | |
the Army? World War I saw horrific numbers of men killed and injured | :01:10. | :01:12. | |
and that was often down to massive guns like this one. British | :01:13. | :01:19. | |
artillery in one week could fire 1.5 million shells into German | :01:20. | :01:22. | |
positions. This is so big and heavy the gallery has had to be built | :01:23. | :01:27. | |
around it. Towards the end of the war, the first tanks came into | :01:28. | :01:30. | |
service. This is climbing over a trench and you can walk through it. | :01:31. | :01:34. | |
All around you, the sounds of battle and in the walls you can see the | :01:35. | :01:38. | |
figures of the men fighting on the Western front. If you want to see | :01:39. | :01:42. | |
this and the rest of the museum, it opens on Saturday. | :01:43. | :01:46. | |
Next, it's been hot and sunny in many parts of the country today | :01:47. | :01:50. | |

The Met Office says Friday could be the hottest day of the year. | :01:55. | :01:59. | |
Health officials are telling us to take care by drinking lots of water, | :02:00. | :02:02. | |
using sunscreen and staying out of the sun at the hottest time | :02:03. | :02:05. | |
Last up, want to see a cool robot doing some cool tricks? | :02:06. | :02:11. | |
You might remember this one, he has been here since 2006 but now he has | :02:12. | :02:23. | |
showed off news tricks. Like going up and down tears. -- stairs. It | :02:24. | :02:30. | |
might seem easy but it is difficult for a robot. He has been developed | :02:31. | :02:36. | |
to pick up a card, open a lead and pour into a cup without spilling. We | :02:37. | :02:42. | |
think humanoid robots will be part of life in the future but that is a | :02:43. | :02:45. | |
way off yet and for now we will have to enjoy seeing him asking his moves | :02:46. | :02:47. | |
