Hello, guys, welcome to Newsround. We have got a full run-down of what

:00:25.:00:30.

is going on in your world. Coming up: We will tell you some of the

:00:30.:00:35.

big names hoping to spread Olympic fever to a town near you. And what

:00:35.:00:40.

effect the hot weather is having on our fishy friends. First, the

:00:41.:00:46.

images of last summer's riots are hard to forget. Thousands of young

:00:46.:00:50.

people caused devastation across England's major cities and everyone

:00:50.:00:55.

has been tried to figure out why. A new report has criticised the

:00:55.:01:02.

police, schools and families for not doing enough.

:01:02.:01:07.

The buildings and cars burnt, shops looted and petrol bombs thrown at

:01:07.:01:14.

police. Five days of rioting across England which shook the nation,

:01:14.:01:16.

beginning in north London when people got angry after a local man

:01:16.:01:22.

was shot dead by police. Originally the Prime Minister blamed the riots

:01:22.:01:26.

on the thieving and looting and gave up with plans to tackle it.

:01:26.:01:31.

But those involved say there were deeper causes as to why the riots

:01:31.:01:35.

happened with the report highlighting several reasons.

:01:35.:01:42.

was just an excuse to grab whatever they wanted. They were out of order.

:01:42.:01:48.

People wanted to get laptops and clothes. The report criticises the

:01:48.:01:51.

police, saying some forces could strengthen their relationship with

:01:52.:01:56.

communities. A group of half-a- million forgotten families who do

:01:56.:02:01.

not feel they fit into society were highlighted by the study as people

:02:01.:02:05.

who lack support and could write. My abiding memory is talking to

:02:06.:02:10.

young people and they said, we need hopes, dreams and a stake in

:02:10.:02:15.

society. The report also blame schools saying some pupils need

:02:16.:02:22.

more education. It could be the trial's fault for not listening in

:02:22.:02:26.

class and it could be the teacher's fault if they are not teaching them

:02:26.:02:31.

properly. One idea suggests schools should be fined if Kate's cannot

:02:31.:02:36.

read or write properly, but should it be down to the education system

:02:36.:02:41.

alone? You put money into help children read and write or do you

:02:41.:02:46.

find schools that have not been able to teach children. It is best

:02:46.:02:51.

spent helping the children rather than fining the schools. It is

:02:51.:02:54.

clear it was not down to just one reason and it is hoped by tackling

:02:54.:03:00.

some of the deeper problems scenes like this one never be seen again.

:03:00.:03:04.

Next and the amazing story of a man who has been given a full face

:03:04.:03:10.

transplant, the most complicated operation going. Richard Norris was

:03:10.:03:15.

badly hurt in an accident 15 years ago and used to wear a mask. But a

:03:15.:03:22.

team of 150 specialists in America were up for 150 hours to give him a

:03:22.:03:27.

brand-new phase. They hope the same technology could allow face

:03:27.:03:32.

transplants for servicemen and women injured. Next the latest on

:03:32.:03:37.

the drought spreading across parts of England. Parts of Yorkshire have

:03:37.:03:42.

now officially been added to the list of places running out of water

:03:42.:03:46.

after several months without rain. There are no plans to ban people

:03:46.:03:54.

from using hoses their. But one set of wildlife that has been badly

:03:54.:03:59.

damaged his fish. They need rescuing and moving elsewhere, but

:03:59.:04:06.

to catch them in the first place can be tricky. Giving fish add

:04:06.:04:10.

gentle electric shock might seem cruel, but the alternative is worse.

:04:10.:04:15.

With water levels falling every day it is a desperate time and the

:04:15.:04:20.

stunning the fish is the quickest way to save them. Normally at this

:04:20.:04:24.

time other yet you would not be able to see any of these stones or

:04:24.:04:30.

the wreaths at the side, so the race is on to get the fish out.

:04:30.:04:35.

have a generator at the back of the boat and that powers the this and

:04:36.:04:42.

that draws the fish towards us. Does it hurt them? No, not at all.

:04:42.:04:46.

As soon as they come towards us they are knocked out and we take

:04:46.:04:52.

them out. It is a common practice to move up fish around water ways,

:04:52.:04:55.

but the Environment Agency has never had to do it this early in

:04:55.:04:59.

the year. They will be transported to a different river with healthy

:04:59.:05:04.

water levels. We have taken them out this morning. If we did not

:05:04.:05:10.

take them out now, they would die. Aquatic animals at the first to

:05:10.:05:14.

feel the drought and a less the south and the East has lots of rain,

:05:15.:05:19.

things could get worse for fish and even water birds. It has taken

:05:19.:05:23.

three days to get to the end of this river and already more than

:05:23.:05:28.

1000 fish have been saved. The Environment Agency has a lot more

:05:28.:05:37.

work to do. We can do our bit by using less water. Now time for an

:05:37.:05:41.

Olympics update and the organisers are making their final visit to the

:05:41.:05:47.

UK before it all starts in July. The International Olympic Committee

:05:47.:05:52.

are carrying out a final inspection. They visited David Cameron and

:05:52.:05:55.

Downing Street and they said they thought everything was in place to

:05:55.:06:01.

make this the best Olympics ever. If you are still -- still

:06:01.:06:06.

struggling to get excited because you are nowhere near London, stay

:06:06.:06:14.

tuned. The Olympic torch relay is all about bringing a little bit of

:06:14.:06:18.

London 2012 to the rest of the UK. Thousands of torch bearers have

:06:18.:06:22.

been chosen to carry the Olympic flame through more than 1000 towns

:06:22.:06:28.

and cities on routes to the opening ceremony in July. Its aim is to get

:06:28.:06:32.

people outside London excited about the games. Now they are getting a

:06:32.:06:36.

helping hand from some of the biggest names in pop who have

:06:36.:06:41.

signed up for a series of special concerts in some of the places that

:06:41.:06:46.

torch will pass through. The Wanted are one of the biggest names on the

:06:46.:06:51.

bill. Best newcomer Emilie Sande is also on the bill in Glasgow and

:06:51.:06:57.

Cardiff, as well as Eliza Doolittle. Wretch 32 and Dizzee Rascal make up

:06:57.:07:04.

the other big names. Tickets for the London concert are �15, but the

:07:04.:07:09.

concerts elsewhere are all free. You will have to bid for tickets in

:07:09.:07:14.

an online auction. The closing date is April 11th.

:07:14.:07:22.

One final Olympics story, we promise. This one is in Japan. Sand

:07:22.:07:26.

sculptors have been so inspired by the games they have been getting

:07:26.:07:30.

their buckets and spades to make these versions of some of London's

:07:30.:07:38.

iconic images. Do you know the artist's name? Sandy of course. It
