Good morning, you're watching CBBC, and this is Newsround. | 0:00:03 | 0:00:06 | |
Coming up this Tuesday: | 0:00:06 | 0:00:08 | |
We meet the artist turning sand into works of art. | 0:00:08 | 0:00:11 | |
And freak weather hits Brazil just weeks before the World Cup. | 0:00:11 | 0:00:21 | |
First up, we're talking mummies, Egyptian mummies. | 0:00:21 | 0:00:24 | |
Have you ever wondered what's lurking beneath those bandages? | 0:00:24 | 0:00:27 | |
Well, the British Museum has used ground-breaking techniques to reveal | 0:00:27 | 0:00:31 | |
amazing details about the people inside them. | 0:00:31 | 0:00:34 | |
Using a state-of-the-art CT scanner, scientists were able to discover | 0:00:34 | 0:00:38 | |
the mummies' age, what they ate and how they died. | 0:00:38 | 0:00:42 | |
The BBC's Pallab Ghosh has been to unravel the mystery. | 0:00:42 | 0:00:47 | |
This is how we're used to seeing mummies, | 0:00:47 | 0:00:49 | |
entombed in their burial caskets. | 0:00:49 | 0:00:52 | |
The CT scans enable us to see right through the casket | 0:00:52 | 0:00:56 | |
and even through the bandages. | 0:00:56 | 0:00:58 | |
Here's the body of a 40-year-old woman buried with | 0:00:58 | 0:01:02 | |
her precious amulets. | 0:01:02 | 0:01:04 | |
It's the first time that this has been seen for 4,000 years. | 0:01:04 | 0:01:08 | |
The aim of the study is to learn more about the people underneath | 0:01:08 | 0:01:12 | |
the bandages and, in a sense, bring the mummies back to life. | 0:01:12 | 0:01:22 | |
Almost a million people in Bosnia-Herzegovina are without | 0:01:22 | 0:01:24 | |
clean water, around one million, after the worst flooding | 0:01:24 | 0:01:27 | |
since modern records began. | 0:01:27 | 0:01:28 | |
Three months' worth of rain fell in the south-eastern European | 0:01:28 | 0:01:31 | |
country in just a few days. | 0:01:31 | 0:01:32 | |
More than 35 people have died, and as many as 500,000 people have | 0:01:32 | 0:01:36 | |
had to leave their homes. | 0:01:36 | 0:01:37 | |
An international rescue operation is taking place. | 0:01:37 | 0:01:39 | |
Thousands of secondary-school children are setting off for special | 0:01:39 | 0:01:42 | |
tours of battlefields in Belgium and France to remember the hundredth | 0:01:42 | 0:01:45 | |
anniversary of the First World War. | 0:01:45 | 0:01:47 | |
It's all part of a government programme designed to help teachers | 0:01:47 | 0:01:50 | |
and students understand the conflict and to encourage them to share | 0:01:50 | 0:01:53 | |
their knowledge when they get home. | 0:01:53 | 0:01:56 | |
14-year-old Charlotte discovered that her great-great-uncle was | 0:01:56 | 0:01:58 | |
buried in a Belgium cemetery. | 0:01:58 | 0:02:02 | |
It was a bit emotional, but I just wanted to just say | 0:02:02 | 0:02:06 | |
a little prayer in my head. | 0:02:06 | 0:02:10 | |
I think it's really important, because, again, | 0:02:10 | 0:02:12 | |
you feel a connection to the people that are here. | 0:02:12 | 0:02:16 | |
And I guess it's another opportunity, because these people, | 0:02:16 | 0:02:18 | |
when their family passes, they won't get to have people visit | 0:02:18 | 0:02:23 | |
their graves. | 0:02:23 | 0:02:27 | |
Next to the artist turning sand into works of art: | 0:02:27 | 0:02:29 | |
after winning Ukraine's Got Talent, Kseniya Simonova has become | 0:02:29 | 0:02:32 | |
an international star, with millions of hits, likes and views online. | 0:02:32 | 0:02:37 | |
Her extraordinary creations feature stories from her childood in Crimea. | 0:02:37 | 0:02:42 | |
Now the artist is using her creations to speak about the future | 0:02:42 | 0:02:45 | |
of Ukraine after months of unrest. | 0:02:45 | 0:02:55 | |
Kseniya produces these stunning images using sand and light. | 0:02:55 | 0:03:00 | |
I'm Russian, but I was born here. | 0:03:00 | 0:03:03 | |
My adult life was in Ukraine. | 0:03:03 | 0:03:06 | |
These animations helped her to win Ukraine's Got Talent in 2009. | 0:03:06 | 0:03:11 | |
It is like space. I close the door, and now I'm not here: | 0:03:11 | 0:03:15 | |
all my mind, all my organisation is there, in the sand. | 0:03:15 | 0:03:20 | |
Since winning, her life has changed dramatically, and | 0:03:20 | 0:03:23 | |
so has the situation in Ukraine. | 0:03:23 | 0:03:26 | |
The Russian artist was born in Crimea, the region at the centre | 0:03:26 | 0:03:30 | |
of a big argument between the world's most powerful countries. | 0:03:30 | 0:03:34 | |
In March, Crimea, which used to belong to Ukraine, | 0:03:34 | 0:03:36 | |
was taken over by Russia. | 0:03:36 | 0:03:40 | |
Kseniya says she is troubled with the current conflict and she is | 0:03:40 | 0:03:43 | |
worried about the levels of violence in eastern parts of the country. | 0:03:43 | 0:03:46 | |
When I look at the events which happen for example in Ukraine, | 0:03:46 | 0:03:52 | |
when I occasionally see the news, I get upset. | 0:03:52 | 0:03:56 | |
The artist says the place where she grew up in Crimea helps her | 0:03:56 | 0:03:59 | |
to create these images. | 0:03:59 | 0:04:01 | |
I'm just trying to show the diversity of us, | 0:04:01 | 0:04:04 | |
in particular me, for example, because I have this mixture. | 0:04:04 | 0:04:08 | |
Despite the tensions in eastern Ukraine, the artist is | 0:04:08 | 0:04:12 | |
hopeful for the future. | 0:04:12 | 0:04:14 | |
After everything happens, the things for me will be still the same. | 0:04:14 | 0:04:19 | |
Whatever it is, Ukraine, Russia, Jupiter or Moon, I will always be | 0:04:19 | 0:04:24 | |
happy here, whatever country it is. | 0:04:24 | 0:04:29 | |
Next to freak weather in Brazil: | 0:04:29 | 0:04:31 | |
Sao Paulo, the country's largest city, where the World Cup kicks | 0:04:31 | 0:04:34 | |
off in a matter of weeks, was hit my an unusually heavy hailstorm. | 0:04:34 | 0:04:40 | |
and loads of people decided to take pictures and even play in the ice. | 0:04:40 | 0:04:44 | |
The hail left many roads flooded or coated white. | 0:04:44 | 0:04:49 | |
Finally, imagine playing a footy match here, the Etihad Stadium. | 0:04:49 | 0:04:53 | |
Well, that's what some very lucky schoolchildren are getting ready to | 0:04:53 | 0:04:56 | |
do today, because the finals of the Premier League schools | 0:04:56 | 0:04:58 | |
tournament kick off this morning. | 0:04:58 | 0:05:00 | |
And at 8:15, | 0:05:00 | 0:05:01 | |
Martin will be live from the home of Manchester City to tell us more. | 0:05:01 | 0:05:02 |
