Hi guys. It is apm and We're live. Leah and Joe here with all today's

:00:26.:00:28.

top stories. Coming up:

:00:28.:00:33.

The British spaceship getting closer to the sun than ever before.

:00:33.:00:38.

What do you do when you find a bear stuck up a tree?

:00:38.:00:41.

First, the Queen has returned to the site of one of the worst

:00:41.:00:44.

disasters in British history. 40 years ago not many people had heard

:00:44.:00:48.

of Aberfan in Wales, but for one truly terrible day in 1966, it

:00:48.:00:52.

became the focus of the world. than 100 children lost their lives

:00:52.:00:56.

when waste from a coal mine slid down a mountain and swamped their

:00:56.:01:03.

school. You might find some of this report upsetting. A tragic day.

:01:03.:01:06.

Pantglas Junior School was packed with children from the village of

:01:06.:01:11.

aber fan, but from the mountain above their school, tonnes of muddy

:01:11.:01:15.

waste cascaded down the slopes and engulfed the school and nearby

:01:15.:01:19.

houses. At 7.30am that morning a man warned

:01:19.:01:24.

that a slide might be imminent. It was a disaster waiting to happen,

:01:24.:01:29.

but nobody listened to the warnings. It had been raining for days so the

:01:29.:01:35.

natural springs underneath the mine overflowed. They started speeding

:01:35.:01:38.

down the mountain and piled thousands of tonnes of rubble and

:01:38.:01:43.

mud on to the village. Hundreds of people rushed to the school to

:01:43.:01:46.

reach the people trapped underneath. Mining was a huge industry back

:01:46.:01:50.

then and most of the people from the village worked in the pits.

:01:50.:01:53.

Everyone knew the dangers of the job, but the miners never thought

:01:54.:01:58.

they would be digging to save their own children. It was in vain. It

:01:58.:02:03.

was just too big. 116 children and 28 adults lost their lives. The

:02:03.:02:07.

disaster shocked everyone because despite the fact that 145 children

:02:07.:02:11.

survived, almost an entire generation of young people had been

:02:11.:02:15.

wiped out. When The Queen came to pay her respects, it was clear she

:02:15.:02:23.

was deeply moved by what happened. Mosh More than 40 years on, she

:02:23.:02:27.

returned to Aberfan today. It brings back poignant memories of

:02:28.:02:34.

what happened on that day, but with the support of the Queen it helped

:02:34.:02:38.

us get through very difficult times. Her Majesty opened a new school in

:02:38.:02:43.

the village which is part of her Royal tour of Wales. The tragedy

:02:43.:02:46.

led to big changes in mining safety and The Queen's visit here today is

:02:46.:02:55.

designed to reassure the people of terrible day will never be

:02:55.:03:01.

forgotten and hopefully never Barcelona are waving goodbye to

their most successful coach ever, Pep Guardiola. He has announced he

:03:04.:03:08.

is leaving at the end of the season despite winning 13 trophies in four

:03:08.:03:13.

years including two Champions Leagues. He says it is because he's

:03:13.:03:16.

tired. Chelsea, Liverpool and England could all be interested in

:03:16.:03:20.

him as their coach, but he says he wants to take a year off from the

:03:20.:03:25.

game. Check this out. The sun has been fascinating

scientists for years and keeping us all toasty warm. It's bit bright

:03:29.:03:37.

though. That's true. Well, the problem for experts has always been

:03:37.:03:40.

that they can't get much closer than this to find out any more

:03:40.:03:47.

been given the green light and I've been out to find out how it'll work.

:03:47.:03:52.

The sun, a burning ball of metal, gas and plasma. It maybe almost 150

:03:52.:03:57.

million kilometres away, but without it, we wouldn't exist. Ever

:03:57.:04:03.

since we realised that the Earth I shall ots the sun we have been

:04:03.:04:07.

striving to find out more about our fascinating star and our latest

:04:07.:04:13.

mission will take us closer to the sun sun than we have ever been. Say

:04:13.:04:18.

hello to the solar orbiter. The plan is to launch it into orbit

:04:19.:04:26.

closer than any other satellite. recent years, we have been able to

:04:26.:04:30.

build spacecraft that get us a better view of the sun. Now we will

:04:30.:04:34.

get so close that we will be able to see what is happening right on

:04:34.:04:37.

the surface of the sun. Being close to the sun, will mean

:04:37.:04:41.

facing temperatures up to 500 degrees Celsius. That's more than

:04:41.:04:45.

twice as hot as most kitchen ovens can get and you wouldn't want to

:04:45.:04:48.

put expensive electronic equipment in there, would you? Surely as the

:04:48.:04:53.

spacecraft gets close to the sun, it will get frazzled? It is

:04:53.:04:57.

designed to with stand those temperatures. It has a special heat

:04:57.:05:01.

shield at the front. It has little windows in it that the instruments

:05:01.:05:06.

can look through and shut to protect the the spacecraft.

:05:06.:05:11.

It will take five years to build, but when it is launched, it should

:05:11.:05:16.

help shed light on the most vital thing in our universe.

:05:16.:05:22.

Lady Gaga kicked off her World Tour this afternoon. Watch out for the

:05:22.:05:28.

flashes coming up. .This Is the star arriving in South Korea, but

:05:28.:05:34.

authorities have banned anyone from under 18 from going to see the show.

:05:34.:05:38.

Now it's not long until the eyes of the world will be on London for the

:05:38.:05:42.

Olympics Games. Some of the world's top athletes will be on show but

:05:42.:05:45.

Ricky's been to meet some of team GB getting attention for a

:05:45.:05:48.

different reason. We know about the 100 meters, the diving, but there

:05:48.:05:53.

are so many other sports involved in the 2012 Games. Including a bit

:05:53.:05:58.

of this! The big dribble might sound

:05:58.:06:02.

disgusting, but it is the name of a campaign taking place all over the

:06:02.:06:06.

UK to raise the profile of hockey. Who better to show you some skills

:06:06.:06:14.

than international stars. First up, under 18 star, Hannah

:06:14.:06:23.

Pike. Special skill, the Indian dribble. Next, Team GB star, Sam

:06:23.:06:28.

with the drag flick and then there is Martha Watson, she is a goalie

:06:28.:06:32.

and brilliant at stopping the ball with her foot!

:06:32.:06:38.

Mm! Not a lot of people maybe think of hockey as an important sport or

:06:38.:06:42.

a sport they will watch at the Olympics, why do you think that is?

:06:42.:06:49.

Hockey is the fourth most participated sport.

:06:49.:06:57.

I thought I would give it a go too. The Big Scrap dribble is attempting

:06:57.:07:03.

to dribble hockey balls 2,000 kilometres across Britain. You are

:07:03.:07:08.

all invited to take part as the roadshow continues.

:07:08.:07:13.

Finally, the age old problem of how to get a big bear down from an even

:07:13.:07:16.

bigger tree? Well, rangers at an American University used a

:07:16.:07:20.

tranquillizer gun to try and bring this guy in safely. He hung on in
