Good morning, Ricky here with your Bank Holiday headlines. Coming up on

:00:00.:00:12.

Newsround: flood defences repaired across the country and happy

:00:13.:00:15.

birthday to the Queen. This is Newsround!

:00:16.:00:22.

But first, more than 100,000 homes in the South of England have been

:00:23.:00:25.

protected from future flooding. The Environment Agency who look after

:00:26.:00:28.

flooding and pollution in England say they have repaired 350 flood

:00:29.:00:31.

defences after those winter floods battered parts of the country. In

:00:32.:00:34.

some areas sea defences were completely washed away. There's

:00:35.:00:38.

still a lot of work to be done, more than 650 defences are still in need

:00:39.:00:53.

of repair. Next, did you know music didn't

:00:54.:00:56.

always come in digital form? Well, it's been ten years since it became

:00:57.:00:59.

possible to download a song and Radio 1 are celebrating by counting

:01:00.:01:02.

down the top 100 tunes. Labelled the biggest revolution in

:01:03.:01:06.

the history of the music industry, DJs Fearne Cotton, Scott Mills and

:01:07.:01:08.

Jameela Jamil will present The Official All-Time Download Top 100

:01:09.:01:11.

today from 12.00pm. Next, the Queen celebrates her 88th

:01:12.:01:14.

birthday today and the occasion's being marked with a new portrait.

:01:15.:01:17.

This black and white image was taken at Buckingham Palace in March by

:01:18.:01:20.

British photographer David Bailey. The Queen has two birthdays. Her

:01:21.:01:23.

actual one today, and her official one in June. The Palace says the

:01:24.:01:27.

Queen will be spending her birthday at Windsor Castle.

:01:28.:01:29.

Next, you might think street dance and ballet are as different as night

:01:30.:01:33.

and day but they actually have more in common than you might think.

:01:34.:01:36.

Former Britain's Got Talent winners Diversity are backing efforts to get

:01:37.:01:39.

more boys into ballet and there's a very good reason why... Jenny put on

:01:40.:01:45.

her pumps to join them and find out. You will probably recognise these

:01:46.:01:51.

guys from Britain's Got Talent or some films. Diversity are known for

:01:52.:01:55.

their energetic routines and their crazy flips and spins but you are

:01:56.:01:59.

probably wondering what they have in common with ballet. Ballet is

:02:00.:02:03.

extremely important depending on what kind of dancer you want to be.

:02:04.:02:09.

If you want to go into the dance industry or musical theatre or jazz

:02:10.:02:12.

and contemporary, you have to do have a ballet background. It is

:02:13.:02:18.

imperative. It is the foundation of all of those styles. Being a ballet

:02:19.:02:24.

dancer has loads of politics that we can use. Flexibility, mobility,

:02:25.:02:29.

discipline. In terms of the physicality gives you, it is one of

:02:30.:02:33.

the most amazing things you can pursue, I think. This dance group in

:02:34.:02:38.

Manchester have made ballet a compulsory part of all of their

:02:39.:02:43.

classes. I think ballet is really good because it helps me with my

:02:44.:02:48.

street dance, my main dance that I do, especially in street because it

:02:49.:02:53.

gets stronger because it makes you neat and tidy and stuff. When I

:02:54.:02:57.

started I did not ready want to do it but now it has made my street

:02:58.:03:02.

stronger. If you do ballet you find it much easier because you are

:03:03.:03:08.

flexible. I am not going to lie, I thought you would never catch me in

:03:09.:03:13.

a leotard and a tutu but since I have been doing yet it has made me

:03:14.:03:17.

feel stronger and realise how important it is to do ballet. They

:03:18.:03:24.

are sold, but convincing more boys that ballet is for them might take a

:03:25.:03:30.

little while. These guys are the minority. 11,000 kids took GCSE

:03:31.:03:36.

dance last year but only around 700 were boys. With classes like this,

:03:37.:03:41.

all of that could be about to change.

:03:42.:03:50.

Let's get you some football results and Liverpool now have one hand on

:03:51.:03:54.

the Premier League trophy after beating Norwich 3-2, extending their

:03:55.:03:57.

lead at the top of the table to five points. Elsewhere the battle for

:03:58.:04:00.

Champions League places continues. Arsenal beat Hull 3-0 and David

:04:01.:04:03.

Moyes returned to Everton as his Man Untied team lost 2-0. Moyes insists

:04:04.:04:07.

his team will be in better shape next season. We are underway with

:04:08.:04:10.

what we are doing and we will try to make sure we have the right things

:04:11.:04:13.

in place for the next season and give ourselves a better chance of

:04:14.:04:18.

completing nearer the top end of the league. Are these games important in

:04:19.:04:22.

that process and getting into Europe? If you play for Manchester

:04:23.:04:26.

United every game is important. Every team we play is a tough game.

:04:27.:04:31.

We will do everything we can to win the remaining games.

:04:32.:04:33.

F1 and Britain's Lewis Hamilton has won his third race in a row. The

:04:34.:04:37.

Brit led the Chinese Grand Prix from the start and is now only four

:04:38.:04:41.

points behind team mate Nico Rosberg in the championship.

:04:42.:04:43.

The crew of the International Space Station took delivery of a special

:04:44.:04:46.

Easter treat last night. A cargo ship full of supplies docked with

:04:47.:04:50.

the Space Station on Sunday. The unmanned rocket which blasted off

:04:51.:04:53.

from Florida over the week contained two tonnes of food, equipment and

:04:54.:05:01.

science experiments. Newsround
