Hi, I'm Ricky, it's Tuesday and this is Newsround.

We find out about the battle that was supposed to end World War One.

But first - massive news in the world of football.

Roy Hodgson has resigned as England manager after his side were beaten

2-1 by Iceland in the European Championships last night.

The loss means England are now out of the European Championships.

Their loss to iceland, the lowest ranked team in the Euros

- will go down as one of the biggest shocks in international football

Jenny was watching in france and sent us this report

on what happened on a dramatic night in Nice.

Roy Hodgson's said where expected to win against a nation

who have a population just 330,000, roughly the same size as Leicester.

England started well and took the lead within five minutes.

Wayne Rooney scoring from the penalty spot.

And Rooney scores! CHEERING

But just 34 seconds later, Iceland stunned England

Sigurdsson scoring with this effort, following poor defending.

In the 19th minute, Sigthorsson shot from just inside the box and scored.

Joe Hart perhaps should have done better.

In the second half, England dominated the game but just couldn't

In the end, they were outfought, out-thought and outdone

Iceland held on the famous victory, the first time they have ever beaten

Then, straight after the final whistle, this happened.

My contract was always up after the Euros.

So, now is the time for someone else to oversee the progress

of this young, hungry and extremely talented group.

Well done, Iceland. They go on to Paris.

On the July first, 1916, British soldiers were sent to fight

a battle that was supposed to finish World War One.

But, by the end of the Battle of the Somme, more than a million

Even now people can't agree on whether it was the right decision

100 years ago, Britain and its allies were

For two long years, both sides slogged it out,

firing at each other from trenches like this one.

The British were fighting here and the Germans were over there.

After all that time, no one was making any progress.

So, the people in charge of the British Army came up

They hit the Germans as hard as they could with artillery

The plant was from there... They were wrong and the Germans were

waiting. They weren't able to take them as planned. The soldiers were

met with a wall of bombs and bullets. 20,000 were killed and

40,000 were wounded. In just the first day. Many were just teenagers.

They saw it as a big adventure but the reality was very different. Lots

of death and things young people should never experience. Even though

tens of thousands of soldiers were being killed in these fields, the

Army commanders decided the soldiers must fight on. The result? Even more

lives lost. It had a huge effect back home. Groups of men from the

same towns and cities volunteered in huge amounts of people were lost.

With the news coming through that thousands were not coming back home,

it was only a matter of time before families were expecting a knock on

her door to inform them they had lost somebody. In the four months

that it lasted, more than 1 million soldiers died on both sides. People

in charge said it had to be done to win the war. But others argue that

so many young men should never have died. Even today, you can see the

results of the Battle all around us in the UK. In your hometown, there

is properly a memorial to the soldiers who fought and died on the

Somme. It was a battle of it changed Britain. They will be hearing more

from Martin and France throughout this week. I'm back right here in

half an hour. I buy.
