Deep in the heart of the African rainforest, rightists have made a | :00:42. | :00:50. | |
remarkable discovery. A huge area of swampland in the Republic of Congo. | :00:51. | :00:55. | |
At 2000 -- 200,000 square metres, it's bigger than the whole of | :00:56. | :00:58. | |
England and debris than an Olympics remain cool. But the discovery | :00:59. | :01:03. | |
wasn't easy. The scientists had to watch out for crocodiles, gorillas | :01:04. | :01:09. | |
and elephants. It was incredibly surprising to find an area the size | :01:10. | :01:15. | |
of England that, essentially, was uncharted. We walked through it in | :01:16. | :01:22. | |
the daytime collecting our samples. In the evening, we put up tents. The | :01:23. | :01:29. | |
land is special because it contains tonnes of decay which is more than a | :01:30. | :01:39. | |
thousand years old. Pete is all around us. This peatland in Greater | :01:40. | :01:43. | |

conservation because all of this has been slowly decomposing the more | :01:53. | :01:57. | |

everything that has happened in the area. They've got things like | :02:01. | :02:05. | |
elephants, crocodiles. Things we don't have here. They've also got | :02:06. | :02:10. | |
trees. Scientists have brought back samples of the Pete to test. It will | :02:11. | :02:17. | |
help them learn more about how the environment has changed over the | :02:18. | :02:17. | |
last thousand years. In Ukraine there's been | :02:18. | :02:29. | |

in London lies one of the greatest This is a glimpse into the | :03:19. | :03:24. | |
Thames Tunnel - built over 250 years Back in Victorian London, | :03:25. | :03:30. | |
people needed a new way to get across the crowded River Thames | :03:31. | :03:36. | |
so an engineer called Marc Brunel suggested building a tunnel | :03:37. | :03:39. | |
between Rotherhithe and Wapping. This was the dream- but no one had | :03:40. | :03:42. | |
ever successfully built an underwater tunnel before- and | :03:43. | :03:47. | |
working on it was very dangerous. workers in cells, | :03:48. | :03:52. | |
they do two hour shifts. Work began in 1825 | :03:53. | :03:55. | |
and took 18 years to complete. Workers would work in shifts but | :03:56. | :04:10. | |
they had to come off after a couple of hours because of the air | :04:11. | :04:11. | |
pressure. Work began in 1825 | :04:12. | :04:12. | |
and took 18 years to complete. 50,000 people came to the grand | :04:13. | :04:15. | |
opening and it became a major tourist attraction as people flocked | :04:16. | :04:18. | |
to pass under the Thames, and visit the underground shops that were set | :04:19. | :04:21. | |
up in the tunnel's archways. But the novelty wore off | :04:22. | :04:24. | |
and the tunnel was sold to it's used by London Overground | :04:25. | :04:27. | |
trains - but for just one weekend these lucky visitors got to travel | :04:28. | :04:32. | |
