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 | :07:38. | :07:46. |
