Good afternoon! I'm Ricky coming live and direct from Newsround HQ.

Coming up... Where's your mummy An amazing discovery in South America.

Say cheese! We check out the official snaps from Prince George's

christening, and monkeys on the loose! This could only be Newsround.

First, we're talking top secret reports and spying. A newspaper s

been given a secret letter suggesting America regularly spied

on dozens of world leaders, by listening into their phone calls.

This story's got bigger after yesterday's news that Germany's

leader was said to be upset with US President Barack Obama after being

told his spies had hacked into her mobile. Germany and America are

supposed to be good friends. So what's the point of spying on people

if you're supposed to like them And what's Britain's take on it?

Ayshah's been investigating. When most of us think of spying we

probably think of something like this. But actually spying can be

carried out in lots of ways and this time the row is about this. A secret

report leaked to a British newspaper today says that America had been

monitoring the phone calls of at least 35 world leaders. Yesterday we

heard that German leader, Angela Merkel, claimed her phone had been

bugged by America. She said spying between close allies or friends

like Germany and America, was really between close allies or friends

the moment they're doing nothing wrong. We spoke with Chancellor

Merkel and reassured her that we will not monitor her communications.

But what they did not say was whether they have I delete work

spied on her in the past. The Americans have more resources to

carry out this activity than anyone else. They want to gather as much

information as they can. Nobody is a prize that this goes on but they are

surprised that the German leader was targeted. Of course, spying goes on

all around the world, all the time, for all sorts of reasons. Now

American and British spies work closely together but DC says he s

happy with the way our spies work. Germany and France say they want a

no spying pact with the US. But whether the countries would stick to

this pact is another matter. After all, doing things in secret is what

spying is all about. OK, next, a quick question. Can you

recognise the Newsround presenters from these baby pics? That's me

Leah and there's Newsround's latest recruit, Ayshah! Cute, eh? Not as

cute as this little future king These are the official snaps,

released today, from Prince George's christening. Mum and Dad, the Duke

and Duchess of Cambridge, look very proud, don't they? The Queen is

pictured with three future kings. There's been no picture like this

for nearly 120 years. Now, imagine a mummy, and you probably think of

something like this chap from ancient Egypt. Well, think again.

Because two have just been found on the other side of the world, in

South America. The adult and child were discovered at an ancient site

in Peru. It's been described as the most important find in 30 years But

it's not that rare to find a mummy outside of Egypt.

Mummifiying has been going on around the globe for thousands of years.

Most often, it would involve drying and wrapping the most important

people in bandages once they've died. Ancient South Americans loved

a good mummy. It's thought people there were mummifying 2000 years

before the Egyptians and they've been found in Peru, Chile and even a

little bit further north in Cuba. Then there's China. Hundreds of

mummies Then there's China. Hundreds of

discovered with long red hair and a European appearance, leaving

scientists puzzled. But don't forget Europe. Italy, Denmark and the Czech

Republic have all had their own mummy mysteries. Then there's the

daddy, or should that be mummy, of discoveries. Egypt. Egypt has some

of the most famous and well preserved mummies in history. In

fact, there's more mummies from Egypt than outside your school gates

at home time. Last up, have you seen these

monkeys? Or two which look a bit like them? People in Belfast in

Northern Ireland are being asked to keep their eyes peeled for two

escaped makaks! -- macaques. Six of the cheeky creatures did a runner

from Belfast Zoo on Monday. Four have been returned. Zoo staff

managed to catch this one with a brilliant rugby tackle in the

grounds of the city castle. But two more are still on the run.

Head to the Newsround website to check out some amazing photos from a

cliff diving competition! That's all from me, Leah's here over the

weekend. Have a good one, bye!
