Good morning, I'm Ayshah with Tuesday's Newsround. | 0:00:10 | 0:00:13 | |
And we're starting with a record breaker. | 0:00:13 | 0:00:15 | |
An aircraft powered entirely by the sun has finished its epic | 0:00:15 | 0:00:18 | |
round the world flight. | 0:00:18 | 0:00:20 | |
Solar Impulse 2 touched down in Abu-Dhabi in the early | 0:00:20 | 0:00:23 | |
hours of the morning. | 0:00:23 | 0:00:25 | |
The journey involved 17 separate stages around the world. | 0:00:25 | 0:00:29 | |
The final flight from Cairo in Egypt took more than 48 hours. | 0:00:29 | 0:00:31 | |
Next up, many children around the world are forced to work - | 0:00:36 | 0:00:38 | |
that means they can't do normal things like playing with their | 0:00:38 | 0:00:41 | |
friends or going to school. | 0:00:41 | 0:00:42 | |
This happens to thousands of children in Ghana in West Africa, | 0:00:42 | 0:00:45 | |
but there is now help. | 0:00:45 | 0:00:46 | |
Martin's got this. | 0:00:46 | 0:00:49 | |
This is Lake Volta in Ghana. | 0:00:49 | 0:00:52 | |
It's the African country's biggest fishing ground. | 0:00:52 | 0:00:55 | |
About 20,000 children are being forced to work on its waters - | 0:00:55 | 0:01:00 | |
some of them are sent to work by poor families in the hope | 0:01:00 | 0:01:03 | |
they will have a better life. | 0:01:03 | 0:01:05 | |
But they end up being made to work as fishermen, | 0:01:05 | 0:01:09 | |
and treated like slaves - made to work without pay | 0:01:09 | 0:01:11 | |
and stopped from leaving. | 0:01:11 | 0:01:12 | |
When he was ten, Dampson was taken from his family and made to work | 0:01:12 | 0:01:16 | |
as a fisherman for four years. | 0:01:16 | 0:01:26 | |
TRANSLATION: | 0:01:31 | 0:01:33 | |
A man came and said he was looking for someone to go | 0:01:33 | 0:01:36 | |
and sell drinking water. | 0:01:36 | 0:01:37 | |
My mother said I should go with him. | 0:01:37 | 0:01:39 | |
I was told I had to dive with them and if I didn't, | 0:01:39 | 0:01:41 | |
Dampson worked in dangerous conditions. | 0:01:43 | 0:01:45 | |
Some of the boys he met were injured or died. | 0:01:45 | 0:01:49 | |
Dampson was eventually rescued by a charity called | 0:01:49 | 0:01:55 | |
Challenging Heights. | 0:01:55 | 0:01:58 | |
He is now living with his dad and is back at school. | 0:01:58 | 0:02:02 | |
Dampson is slowly rebuilding his life. | 0:02:02 | 0:02:08 | |
Scientists heading to the UK's tallest mountain aren't | 0:02:26 | 0:02:28 | |
packing their walking boots, they're doing it in a submarine. | 0:02:28 | 0:02:31 | |
Confused? | 0:02:31 | 0:02:32 | |
Leah has more. | 0:02:32 | 0:02:36 | |
200 kilometres off the West Coast of Scotland, | 0:02:36 | 0:02:39 | |
a submarine is heading to | 0:02:39 | 0:02:41 | |
the UK's tallest mountains, hundreds of meters beneath the | 0:02:41 | 0:02:49 | |
the UK's tallest mountains, hundreds of metres beneath the | 0:02:49 | 0:02:51 | |
waves. | 0:02:51 | 0:02:52 | |
Coral is everywhere on the mountain tops, and is teeming with | 0:02:52 | 0:02:55 | |
creatures in the cold, dark waters. | 0:02:55 | 0:02:56 | |
The biggest mountain is 1700 metres tall and totally submerged | 0:02:56 | 0:03:00 | |
underwater. | 0:03:00 | 0:03:07 | |
On-board for six weeks, scientists have controlled | 0:03:07 | 0:03:09 | |
the underwater robots, watching the images streamed back. | 0:03:09 | 0:03:13 | |
This is the first time that anybody has seen | 0:03:13 | 0:03:17 | |
this seamount, has seen animals that live on this seamount. | 0:03:17 | 0:03:19 | |
How they live, what they live on, in between, | 0:03:19 | 0:03:21 | |
who lives with them. | 0:03:21 | 0:03:22 | |
And that's really exciting. | 0:03:22 | 0:03:24 | |
We saw some incredible things. | 0:03:24 | 0:03:26 | |
Now the research ship is back, docked in Southampton. | 0:03:26 | 0:03:29 | |
BBC reporter Rebecca Morelle managed to take | 0:03:29 | 0:03:31 | |
a look at what samples the | 0:03:31 | 0:03:34 | |
crew brought back. | 0:03:34 | 0:03:36 | |
Here's a small selection of them, we've got a coral | 0:03:36 | 0:03:39 | |
species that is possibly thousands of years old. | 0:03:39 | 0:03:43 | |
This one can grow several metres tall and a sponge | 0:03:43 | 0:03:45 | |
with tiny little creatures growing inside. | 0:03:45 | 0:03:48 | |
It's going to take months to analyse all this, but even now | 0:03:48 | 0:03:51 | |
the team think some of the species may be new to science. | 0:03:51 | 0:03:55 | |
The researchers say these seamounts are a marine life hotspot. | 0:03:55 | 0:04:00 | |
Lots of people think of the deep sea as being a | 0:04:00 | 0:04:03 | |
sort of desert of mud and in fact these mountain structures are far | 0:04:03 | 0:04:06 | |
from that. | 0:04:06 | 0:04:08 | |
So many animals, so much life. | 0:04:08 | 0:04:12 | |
Now the hard work starts, because scientists will have | 0:04:12 | 0:04:14 | |
to work out what they have and what they need to | 0:04:14 | 0:04:17 | |
do to protect what's | 0:04:17 | 0:04:18 | |
already living on Britain's deep sea mountains. | 0:04:18 | 0:04:24 | |
So that got us thinking, where would you like to | 0:04:24 | 0:04:26 | |
explore if you could? | 0:04:26 | 0:04:27 | |
The deepest ocean? | 0:04:27 | 0:04:28 | |
Maybe a safari or some ancient ruins? | 0:04:28 | 0:04:31 | |
Let us know where and why online now. | 0:04:31 | 0:04:35 | |
And finally, meet Purps the penguin from Connecticut in the USA. | 0:04:35 | 0:04:39 | |
She injured her left foot five years ago. | 0:04:39 | 0:04:41 | |
But now, thanks to school kids and experts at an aquarium, | 0:04:41 | 0:04:44 | |
they've designed a special boot for her - using a 3D printer. | 0:04:44 | 0:04:49 | |
Now she can pppp-pick up her penguin feet easily! | 0:04:49 | 0:04:52 | |
That's all for now, I'll be back in half an hour. | 0:04:52 | 0:04:58 |
