Hi, I'm Ricky, it's Tuesday and this is Newsround. | :00:00. | :00:00. | |
We find out about the battle that was supposed to end World War One. | :00:00. | :00:23. | |
But first - massive news in the world of football. | :00:24. | :00:25. | |
Roy Hodgson is stepping down as England manager after his side | :00:26. | :00:28. | |
were beaten 2-1 by Iceland in the Euros. | :00:29. | :00:33. | |
Jenny is live in the South of France, where it all happened. | :00:34. | :00:39. | |
England are out of the European Championships. | :00:40. | :00:43. | |
Their loss to Iceland last night - the lowest ranked team in the Euros | :00:44. | :00:46. | |
- will go down as one of the biggest shocks in international | :00:47. | :00:49. | |
This is what happened on a dramatic night in Nice. | :00:50. | :00:57. | |
Roy Hodgson's side were expected to win against a nation | :00:58. | :00:59. | |
who have a population just 330,000, roughly the same size as Leicester. | :01:00. | :01:08. | |
England started well and took the lead within five minutes. | :01:09. | :01:12. | |
Wayne Rooney scoring from the penalty spot. | :01:13. | :01:14. | |
And Rooney scores! CHEERING | :01:15. | :01:20. | |
But just 34 seconds later, Iceland stunned England | :01:21. | :01:22. | |
Sigurdsson scoring with this effort, following poor defending. | :01:23. | :01:28. | |
In the 19th minute, Sigthorsson shot from just inside the box and scored. | :01:29. | :01:36. | |
Joe Hart perhaps should have done better. | :01:37. | :01:43. | |
In the second half, England dominated the game but just couldn't | :01:44. | :01:45. | |
In the end, they were outfought, out-thought and outdone | :01:46. | :01:49. | |
Iceland held on for a famous victory, the first time | :01:50. | :02:02. | |
they have ever beaten England in thenation's history. | :02:03. | :02:03. | |
Then, straight after the final whistle, this happened. | :02:04. | :02:05. | |
My contract was always up after the Euros. | :02:06. | :02:08. | |
So, now is the time for someone else to oversee the progress | :02:09. | :02:10. | |
of this young, hungry and extremely talented group. | :02:11. | :02:23. | |
Well done, Iceland. They go on to Paris. | :02:24. | :02:31. | |
Let's not forget what a fantastic night it was for Iceland. | :02:32. | :02:34. | |
Just listen to this Icelandic commentator when his side scored | :02:35. | :02:38. | |
Will we hear him scream again on Sunday when Iceland take on hosts | :02:39. | :03:06. | |
That would be a huge shock of course, but this Iceland side | :03:07. | :03:10. | |
Thank you, Jenny. How is -- how amazing was that? | :03:11. | :03:19. | |
It was Britain's Marcus Willis who was the headline-maker | :03:20. | :03:23. | |
on the opening day of Wimbledon yesterday. | :03:24. | :03:25. | |
The world number 772 beat Ricardas Berankis to set up a second | :03:26. | :03:27. | |
The win was an amazing turnaround for the Brit, | :03:28. | :03:31. | |
nicknamed 'Willbomb', who almost gave up tennis | :03:32. | :03:33. | |
World number two and former Wimbledon champion Andy Murray | :03:34. | :03:36. | |
begins his Wimbledon campaign later today, | :03:37. | :03:38. | |
In the women's singles, Heather Watson and Johanna Konta | :03:39. | :03:41. | |
On the July first, 1916, British soldiers were sent to fight | :03:42. | :03:45. | |
a battle that was supposed to finish World War One. | :03:46. | :03:47. | |
But, by the end of the Battle of the Somme, more than a million | :03:48. | :03:50. | |
Even now people can't agree on whether it was the right | :03:51. | :03:55. | |
decision or a huge mistake. Here's Martin. | :03:56. | :03:56. | |
100 years ago, Britain and its allies were | :03:57. | :03:58. | |
For two long years, both sides slogged it out, | :03:59. | :04:01. | |
firing at each other from trenches like this one. | :04:02. | :04:05. | |
The British were fighting here and the Germans were over there. | :04:06. | :04:07. | |
After all that time, no one was making any progress. | :04:08. | :04:11. | |
So, the people in charge of the British Army came up | :04:12. | :04:14. | |
They hit the Germans as hard as they could with artillery | :04:15. | :04:19. | |
The plan was from there to take the land from the Germans. | :04:20. | :04:23. | |
But they were wrong and the Germans were waiting for them. | :04:24. | :04:25. | |
Unfortunately, the Germans prepared these positions very well. | :04:26. | :04:27. | |
And we weren't able to take them as planned. | :04:28. | :04:33. | |
The soldiers were met with a wall of bombs and bullets. | :04:34. | :04:36. | |
20,000 were killed and 40,000 were wounded on just | :04:37. | :04:38. | |
Many were just teenagers - very young. | :04:39. | :04:45. | |
They saw it as a big adventure but the reality was very different. | :04:46. | :04:49. | |
Lots of death and things young people should never experience. | :04:50. | :04:53. | |
Even though tens of thousands of soldiers were being killed | :04:54. | :04:55. | |
in these fields, the Army commanders decided | :04:56. | :04:57. | |
The result? Even more lives lost. | :04:58. | :05:04. | |
Often whole groups of men from the same towns and cities | :05:05. | :05:11. | |
volunteered and huge amounts of people were lost. | :05:12. | :05:13. | |
With the news coming through that thousands were not coming back home, | :05:14. | :05:16. | |
it was only a matter of time before families were expecting a knock | :05:17. | :05:19. | |
on their door to inform them they had lost somebody. | :05:20. | :05:24. | |
In the four months that it lasted, more than one million | :05:25. | :05:26. | |
People in charge said it had to be done to win the war. | :05:27. | :05:34. | |
But others argue that so many young men should never have died. | :05:35. | :05:37. | |
Even today, you can see the results of the Battle all around us | :05:38. | :05:40. | |
In your hometown, there is probably a memorial to the soldiers | :05:41. | :05:44. | |
It was a battle that changed Britain. | :05:45. | :05:54. | |
We will have more throughout the week. | :05:55. | :05:56. | |
That's all from me, Newsround's back right here at 4:20pm with Leah. | :05:57. | :06:01. |
