Good morning, everyone. | 0:00:02 | 0:00:03 | |
Leah here with today's Newsround. | 0:00:03 | 0:00:04 | |
Coming up: | 0:00:04 | 0:00:06 | |
The explorer taking on his biggest challenge yet. | 0:00:06 | 0:00:10 | |
And the snails slugging it out at the world championships. | 0:00:10 | 0:00:15 | |
First, a warship that sunk nearly 500 years ago off the coast | 0:00:23 | 0:00:26 | |
of Portsmouth is being shown off to the public for the first time. | 0:00:26 | 0:00:28 | |
The Mary Rose sunk in 1545 and, for hundreds of years, | 0:00:30 | 0:00:33 | |
she lay at the bottom of the sea. | 0:00:33 | 0:00:35 | |
But today after millions of pounds and years of hard work, | 0:00:35 | 0:00:38 | |
people will finally get to see the historic Mary Rose | 0:00:38 | 0:00:40 | |
like never before. | 0:00:40 | 0:00:41 | |
There is the wreck of the Mary Rose. | 0:00:41 | 0:00:43 | |
She has come to the surface. | 0:00:43 | 0:00:45 | |
The Mary Rose. | 0:00:45 | 0:00:46 | |
Back in 1982, this Tudor ship was brought back to the surface | 0:00:46 | 0:00:50 | |
after sinking hundreds of years ago. | 0:00:50 | 0:00:54 | |
She was a warship during the reign of Henry VIII. | 0:00:54 | 0:00:57 | |
But no-one's sure why or how the ship sunk | 0:00:57 | 0:01:00 | |
all those years ago. | 0:01:00 | 0:01:01 | |
Was it human error, strong winds or gunfire from another ship? | 0:01:01 | 0:01:06 | |
For more than 30 years, experts have been busy restoring | 0:01:06 | 0:01:09 | |
the ship to her natural state and it's been a massive job. | 0:01:09 | 0:01:14 | |
Every inch of the Mary Rose has been sprayed with a special solution | 0:01:14 | 0:01:18 | |
to preserve it and the ship has been kept | 0:01:18 | 0:01:20 | |
in a giant glass hot box to dry it out. | 0:01:20 | 0:01:24 | |
The BBC's Duncan Kennedy was given exclusive access to the ship. | 0:01:24 | 0:01:29 | |
This is never been seen before, neither on television or online. | 0:01:29 | 0:01:33 | |
This is the side of the ship that was buried most deeply | 0:01:33 | 0:01:36 | |
in the mud of the Solent. | 0:01:36 | 0:01:38 | |
All the white you see is the polyethylene glycol, | 0:01:38 | 0:01:40 | |
the wax-like chemical that they've been spraying it with | 0:01:40 | 0:01:43 | |
for the past 19 years. | 0:01:43 | 0:01:47 | |
Scaffolding has been used to keep it in place | 0:01:47 | 0:01:49 | |
and giant pipes of air conditioning manage the temperature | 0:01:49 | 0:01:52 | |
inside this special room. | 0:01:52 | 0:01:57 | |
From now on, the public will not only be able to get the history | 0:01:57 | 0:02:00 | |
and the sense of tragedy of this whole ship, | 0:02:00 | 0:02:02 | |
but they can get up close, breathe it, almost touch it, | 0:02:02 | 0:02:05 | |
in the way that Henry VIII would have himself. | 0:02:05 | 0:02:09 | |
From now on, this really is the final story | 0:02:09 | 0:02:11 | |
of this magnificent Tudor timepiece. | 0:02:11 | 0:02:14 | |
It's the only 16th-century warship on display in the world, | 0:02:14 | 0:02:16 | |
and it will remain here at the Mary Rose Museum in Portsmouth. | 0:02:16 | 0:02:24 | |
Now to one of Britain's greatest adventurers - | 0:02:24 | 0:02:26 | |
Sir Ranulph Fiennes. | 0:02:26 | 0:02:28 | |
He's attempting a new record-breaking challenge | 0:02:28 | 0:02:30 | |
for charity. | 0:02:30 | 0:02:32 | |
Ayshah went to meet him to find out what he's up to. | 0:02:32 | 0:02:36 | |
Sir Ranulph Fiennes is one of Britain's greatest | 0:02:36 | 0:02:38 | |
modern-day explorers. | 0:02:38 | 0:02:40 | |
He's spent most of his life taking part in epic expeditions | 0:02:40 | 0:02:43 | |
and death-defying challenges. | 0:02:43 | 0:02:46 | |
He's even conquered Mount Everest - the world's tallest mountain. | 0:02:46 | 0:02:50 | |
But there's still one quest left for the 72-year-old to complete. | 0:02:50 | 0:02:55 | |
The challenge is to cross Antarctica, | 0:02:55 | 0:02:59 | |
which is bigger than China, to cross the Arctic Ocean, | 0:02:59 | 0:03:02 | |
which is floating ice for 2,000 miles over the North Pole, | 0:03:02 | 0:03:06 | |
and to climb the tallest mountain on every continent in the world, | 0:03:06 | 0:03:12 | |
and there are seven continents. | 0:03:12 | 0:03:15 | |
Sir Ranulph has already reached the North and South Poles | 0:03:15 | 0:03:17 | |
and climbed the highest mountains on three continents so far. | 0:03:17 | 0:03:22 | |
In the next year, he'll attempt to reach the peak | 0:03:22 | 0:03:27 | |
of four more mountains to complete his record attempt. | 0:03:27 | 0:03:29 | |
Mount Carstensz in Australasia, Mount Vinson in Antarctica, | 0:03:29 | 0:03:31 | |
Mount Aconcagua in South America, | 0:03:31 | 0:03:33 | |
and finally the dangerous Mount Denali in North America. | 0:03:33 | 0:03:41 | |
What we want to do is to raise the money by doing it. | 0:03:41 | 0:03:46 | |
The money will go to training nurses in the Marie Curie organisation. | 0:03:46 | 0:03:52 | |
So charity, science and breaking world records before the Norwegians | 0:03:52 | 0:03:57 | |
are three are the reasons why we keep going. | 0:03:57 | 0:04:01 | |
But even after achieving so much, | 0:04:01 | 0:04:02 | |
there's one person that Sir Ranulph can't seem to impress. | 0:04:02 | 0:04:07 | |
My ten-year-old daughter is very, very interested in becoming a vet. | 0:04:07 | 0:04:12 | |
That's what she wants. | 0:04:12 | 0:04:15 | |
But she's not at all interested | 0:04:15 | 0:04:16 | |
in a daddy who goes away, finding things in funny places. | 0:04:16 | 0:04:21 | |
Well, Newsround is very interested and we'll be keeping a close eye | 0:04:21 | 0:04:24 | |
on Sir Ranulph to see if he can finish his incredible challenge. | 0:04:24 | 0:04:27 | |
And, finally, more than 200 snails slugged it out | 0:04:30 | 0:04:35 | |
at the snail world championships in Norfolk, | 0:04:35 | 0:04:37 | |
where the likes of Uslime Bolt and Turbo Speed took part. | 0:04:37 | 0:04:42 | |
This year's winner though was a snail called Herbie, | 0:04:42 | 0:04:44 | |
who was brought from a garden in Cambridgeshire. | 0:04:44 | 0:04:46 | |
His prize was a silver cup filled with lettuce. | 0:04:46 | 0:04:51 | |
That's all from me, Newsround's back right here in about half an hour. | 0:04:51 | 0:04:55 |
