Good afternoon. Welcome. We are in our brand new home in Manchester.

:00:22.:00:26.

The place might have changed but as always we have the top stories of

:00:26.:00:31.

the day including... The first boat to sail the seven seas than

:00:31.:00:37.

completely by robots. And we find out why Ricki is proud to be

:00:37.:00:43.

British. Awful gear! Is your school falling apart with grotty toilet

:00:43.:00:49.

and paint peeling off the walls? Or is it shiny and new? A lot of new

:00:49.:00:53.

schools have popped up around the UK over the last decade, but last

:00:53.:00:57.

year the government decided to scrap the building schools for the

:00:57.:01:01.

future programme. Honda Dott you got in touch at the time to tell us

:01:01.:01:04.

how it affected you, some of the worst hit were children from-and

:01:04.:01:08.

school in Blackpool. I went back to see if anything has changed. This

:01:08.:01:11.

is a school for children with physical disabilities, that means

:01:11.:01:16.

they need more room to get around. But it was not built for that and

:01:16.:01:21.

last year they invited news round to see the problems that causes.

:01:21.:01:25.

The classrooms are too small! The corridors are too narrow, it is

:01:25.:01:29.

impossible to get wheelchairs down. They were told they could have a

:01:29.:01:32.

new school boy when the government came into power last year they

:01:32.:01:38.

announced there was no money left. More than 700 building projects are

:01:38.:01:42.

being axed. Cuts were made in areas including schools, the plans got

:01:42.:01:48.

changed. The school were told they would get �13 million for their new

:01:48.:01:51.

state of the art school. When that was cut they said they could make

:01:51.:01:54.

do with just 5 million. The government said even that was too

:01:54.:01:58.

much and their hopes for a new School disappeared. But one year-

:01:58.:02:02.

old they are still here, still facing the same problems. The

:02:02.:02:05.

singers were not built for children in wheelchairs, so they cannot

:02:05.:02:09.

reach the taps, the corridors are too narrow to which means some are

:02:09.:02:12.

taken round the outside of the building to get another classroom,

:02:12.:02:17.

even in the rain. All the children feel let down. I was upset.

:02:18.:02:25.

angry. So unfair. What has happened since last time we were here?

:02:25.:02:30.

got some repairs but it is just papering over the cracks. We really

:02:30.:02:33.

need a new school, we need the money. They governments say the

:02:33.:02:37.

decision about the money is down to the local council. They have just

:02:37.:02:41.

sent this school this letter saying there is no more money right now,

:02:41.:02:44.

meaning the children here are asking the same question they did

:02:44.:02:50.

last year dot dot where is our new school?! We asked the government

:02:50.:02:54.

what they thought about this and the Department for Education sent

:02:54.:03:04.
:03:04.:03:15.

We will let you know what ever we hear. It could be the story from a

:03:15.:03:20.

sci-fi movie, a bad one, sure, but robots are taking of a -- taking

:03:20.:03:25.

over our waters. Scientists have created the first seaworthy ship in

:03:25.:03:31.

America to be manned by robots. On the epic 33,000 mile journey four

:03:31.:03:36.

robots will collect see data in parts of the world. I wonder if

:03:36.:03:41.

they will sing up row, row, a robot your boat all the way round. They

:03:41.:03:47.

made me so it, so I did! If that is impressive, this is not. Time is

:03:47.:03:51.

running out before the latest space probe to Mars runs out of battery.

:03:51.:03:55.

The Russian rocket launched 12 days ago but engines broke and it got

:03:55.:04:01.

stuck in the orbit. There is only a short time before the power to

:04:01.:04:06.

communication systems runs out. So far, attempts to contact it had

:04:06.:04:10.

failed. It seems like yesterday we watched as massive protests broke

:04:10.:04:14.

out in Egypt. It is February, thousands of people want in an end

:04:14.:04:18.

to their poverty and corruption campaign for two weeks to try to

:04:18.:04:22.

force their President out. He eventually stood down and after

:04:22.:04:25.

days on the streets people there were looking forward to a bright,

:04:25.:04:30.

exciting future. Nine months on violence has erupted on the street

:04:30.:04:38.

again. So scenes of jubilation from earlier this year on the streets of

:04:38.:04:44.

Cairo, Egypt's capital and the centre of the protests. Night after

:04:44.:04:47.

night they assembled in Tahrir Square, demanding President Mubarak,

:04:47.:04:51.

the man in charge of the country, would go. This is the moment their

:04:51.:04:56.

wishes became true. But now, in that same square, the protesters

:04:56.:05:01.

are back. So what has happened? The protesters say little has changed,

:05:01.:05:04.

the military have been rowing the country since the President was

:05:04.:05:10.

overthrown. -- running the country. Elections are due next week, but

:05:10.:05:15.

protesters are angry the military could keep hold of too much power.

:05:15.:05:19.

Protests became violent over the weekend and more than 20 people

:05:19.:05:23.

have now been killed. It is not what the people behind Egypt's

:05:23.:05:30.

revolution hoped for. Hello. I spoke to these kids about what is

:05:30.:05:38.

happening there. We are just trying to keep safe, keep going out to a

:05:38.:05:43.

minimum, go out in numbers. We have to be careful, if anything gets

:05:43.:05:47.

worse, we have to be more careful going to school. The violence in

:05:47.:05:51.

Egypt shows that changing a country involves a whole lot more than just

:05:52.:05:57.

removing the man in charge. All this means next week's elections

:05:57.:06:01.

are in doubt now, and so is the future of the thousands of people

:06:01.:06:08.

here. We have been asking you what gets you bursting with pride?

:06:08.:06:12.

ting up in the morning. I find it really hard right now. Anyway, a

:06:12.:06:16.

survey has listed the top 10 things that make us proud to be British.

:06:16.:06:22.

We went to find out what you think. William Shakespeare, the man behind

:06:22.:06:26.

Romeo and Juliet, topped the poll of people who make you most proud,

:06:26.:06:29.

closely followed by the Armed Forces, the Union Jack and the

:06:29.:06:35.

Royal Family. Four lads from Liverpool, the Beatles, also made

:06:35.:06:40.

it onto the list. For me, I am most proud of the BBC, then again, I am

:06:40.:06:47.

biased! We are holding the Olympics next year, I am well proud that we

:06:48.:06:53.

will be holding it in London. have good tolerance in the country.

:06:53.:07:00.

We are kind to other people, not just white people. It is enough for

:07:00.:07:04.

even the most unpatriotic person to shed a tear. It has got me in the

:07:04.:07:14.
