2:00:00 > 2:00:00BLUE PETER CBA L782W/01 BRD000000
6:48:17 > 6:48:24.
6:48:42 > 6:48:44On today's live Blue Peter,
6:48:44 > 6:48:47our road trip round Poland and Ukraine continues.
6:48:47 > 6:48:50Will my Cossack dancing cut it on the dance floor?
6:48:50 > 6:48:53Bieber fever has hit Blue Peter.
6:48:53 > 6:48:56We catch up with the star about his brand-new album.
6:48:56 > 6:49:00There's some collaborations. I'm working with Kanye and Taylor Swift.
6:49:00 > 6:49:03And we're in the presence of a legend today.
6:49:03 > 6:49:05Deadly 60's Steve Backshall is in our studio
6:49:05 > 6:49:09and we've got a special surprise for him that he knows nothing about.
6:49:25 > 6:49:27CHEERING AND APPLAUSE
6:49:27 > 6:49:28- Hello.- Hello.- How are you doing?
6:49:28 > 6:49:31You're watching Blue Peter, it is live and interactive.
6:49:31 > 6:49:34And don't listen to Hacker - I love this shirt.
6:49:34 > 6:49:37There's nothing wrong with it. We've got a Justin Bieber chat later,
6:49:37 > 6:49:40but, before that, he is live, he is deadly
6:49:40 > 6:49:43and he is poised to come through those doors.
6:49:43 > 6:49:46Yes, CBBC's animal expert, Steve Backshall, is going to be here
6:49:46 > 6:49:49to chat about the latest series of Deadly 60.
6:49:49 > 6:49:51He'll be telling us about his new book
6:49:51 > 6:49:54and he'll answer your questions.
6:49:54 > 6:49:55If there is anything
6:49:55 > 6:49:56you want to know from Steve,
6:49:56 > 6:49:58send us an e-mail...
6:50:00 > 6:50:02You can ask him anything you like!
6:50:02 > 6:50:05Since Steve's been on our screens, he's been bringing us
6:50:05 > 6:50:08the fiercest, most dangerous and deadly creatures on Earth.
6:50:08 > 6:50:11He's brought us tigers and pythons and sharks, oh, my!
6:50:13 > 6:50:16TV adventurer, Steve Backshall, is best-known for CBBC shows...
6:50:19 > 6:50:20..where he travels the globe
6:50:20 > 6:50:23in search of the world's most dangerous predators.
6:50:23 > 6:50:26This one here has a really nasty punch.
6:50:26 > 6:50:29Let go! Wow!
6:50:29 > 6:50:32From diving with barracuda to wrangling pythons,
6:50:32 > 6:50:35he's even put his life on the line and swum with hippos.
6:50:37 > 6:50:38It's a bit pongy.
6:50:38 > 6:50:42Steve's been on our screens for more than a decade
6:50:42 > 6:50:45and he's won two BAFTA awards.
6:50:46 > 6:50:49And, here he is, it is Steve Backshall!
6:50:49 > 6:50:51CHEERING AND APPLAUSE
6:50:51 > 6:50:52Come on in, Steve!
6:50:52 > 6:50:55- Have a seat.- Hello, hello!
6:50:55 > 6:50:56Nice to see you.
6:50:56 > 6:50:58How are you doing? Welcome to the show!
6:50:58 > 6:51:00- It's so good to see you. - It's good to be here.
6:51:00 > 6:51:03We all know you from Deadly 60 and Live 'n' Deadly,
6:51:03 > 6:51:06but you've also written quite a few books
6:51:06 > 6:51:08and your latest book's a bit different, isn't it?
6:51:08 > 6:51:11It is. I've written my first fiction book. It's a story.
6:51:11 > 6:51:14It's a wildlife adventure, wilderness story.
6:51:14 > 6:51:16So, it's quite a new thing for me,
6:51:16 > 6:51:18but I've got quite a few more of them coming out.
6:51:18 > 6:51:20Is this based on real life?
6:51:20 > 6:51:22Or is it completely made up?
6:51:22 > 6:51:23It's pretty much made up,
6:51:23 > 6:51:25but it has as a basis some of the big expeditions
6:51:25 > 6:51:27I've done round the world.
6:51:27 > 6:51:29This particular one is set in the Himalayas
6:51:29 > 6:51:32and it has as a backdrop the situation of tiger poaching.
6:51:32 > 6:51:35You seem utterly fearless around animals.
6:51:35 > 6:51:36Why is that?
6:51:36 > 6:51:39- Were you brought up around animals? Did you have a lot of pets?- Yeah.
6:51:39 > 6:51:42Very much so. My parents were my inspiration when I was a kid.
6:51:42 > 6:51:46They almost forced my sister and I to get outside and interact with animals
6:51:46 > 6:51:48from a very young age.
6:51:48 > 6:51:51Is that how this photo came about? We have a photo of you with a snake.
6:51:51 > 6:51:52How old are you there?
6:51:52 > 6:51:54Why were you holding a snake?
6:51:54 > 6:51:57I reckon I'm about 12 and that was in Africa.
6:51:57 > 6:51:59I think that was in Zimbabwe.
6:51:59 > 6:52:01I'm sure lots of people who've been to exotic places
6:52:01 > 6:52:03can imagine that type of photo happening.
6:52:03 > 6:52:05It's a relatively touristy thing to do.
6:52:05 > 6:52:09But the next photo we have is a little bit different.
6:52:09 > 6:52:11Is that a gibbon and what is it doing, bouncing off your chest?
6:52:11 > 6:52:15It is a gibbon. That was in Malaysia and it was a habituated animal.
6:52:15 > 6:52:17It was a wild animal, but it was used to coming down,
6:52:17 > 6:52:20interacting with people. As you can see there,
6:52:20 > 6:52:21it was interacting quite a lot with me.
6:52:21 > 6:52:25It's been there quite a while, this fascination with animals.
6:52:25 > 6:52:27Are you a bit like Dr Dolittle? Can you talk to them?
6:52:27 > 6:52:29Do they just like you? How does it work?
6:52:29 > 6:52:31You can't necessarily talk to animals,
6:52:31 > 6:52:33though there are ways you can interact with animals.
6:52:33 > 6:52:35There's nothing better than when a wild animal
6:52:35 > 6:52:37deliberately interacts with you.
6:52:37 > 6:52:40I've had wild gorillas coming and taking me by the hand in the wild
6:52:40 > 6:52:44and you can get lizards to do their threat behaviour to you
6:52:44 > 6:52:47or some of their sexual posturing towards you.
6:52:47 > 6:52:49It's fantastic.
6:52:49 > 6:52:51It's amazing you keep going,
6:52:51 > 6:52:53because last time I was on telly with you, you got bitten
6:52:53 > 6:52:55and didn't bat an eyelid! You kept going!
6:52:55 > 6:52:58- It happens all the time! - We're talking about big gorillas,
6:52:58 > 6:53:00caimans, they can cause real damage.
6:53:00 > 6:53:04But Steve is the man when it comes to this sort of deadly experience,
6:53:04 > 6:53:05so we have one for you right now.
6:53:05 > 6:53:07We have called it deadly three.
6:53:07 > 6:53:09It's not as big as 60, but you'll see what it's about.
6:53:09 > 6:53:11Walk this way with us, Steve.
6:53:11 > 6:53:14We have put three different animals in three different boxes.
6:53:14 > 6:53:16- You can't see what they are.- OK.
6:53:16 > 6:53:19We want you to identify them through touch alone.
6:53:19 > 6:53:22We want you at home to be able to see what he's getting hold of,
6:53:22 > 6:53:23so have a look in there.
6:53:24 > 6:53:26Right. OK.
6:53:26 > 6:53:27I can give you some clues.
6:53:27 > 6:53:30The colourful skin helps scare away potential predators.
6:53:30 > 6:53:33They live in forests and try to blend in with dead leaves.
6:53:33 > 6:53:36- Their diet includes lizards, especially skinks.- OK.
6:53:36 > 6:53:41We've got a snake, it's got aposematic colouration.
6:53:41 > 6:53:44- I'm going to go with one of the milk snakes.- Hand out.
6:53:44 > 6:53:46Let's see if you're right.
6:53:46 > 6:53:48I am right, yes.
6:53:48 > 6:53:52- It is a snake. Well done!- Yes.
6:53:52 > 6:53:54Well done, Steve. Right, move on to the next box.
6:53:54 > 6:53:56So glad I'm this side.
6:53:56 > 6:53:57So, yes, milk snake is right.
6:53:57 > 6:54:00We need to move the cardboard, so we can see what's in there.
6:54:00 > 6:54:05This can regrow any lost limbs as well as other body parts.
6:54:05 > 6:54:07They are a member of the newt family.
6:54:07 > 6:54:10Their skin secretes mucous, which helps them stay moist on dry land.
6:54:10 > 6:54:12They tend to live near water.
6:54:12 > 6:54:13What do you think?
6:54:13 > 6:54:16It's quite large for a newt, actually.
6:54:16 > 6:54:20I'm going to go with one of the salamanders.
6:54:20 > 6:54:24Um... It could be anything. It's very difficult. What colour is it?
6:54:24 > 6:54:27It's good enough for us. You can have a look.
6:54:27 > 6:54:30- You are correct, it is! - It's a tiger salamander.
6:54:30 > 6:54:32- Yes.- I'll put this somewhere else.
6:54:32 > 6:54:35This next one - have you had your jabs? If you get bitten, are you OK?
6:54:35 > 6:54:37I'm fine, I've got all my rabies shots.
6:54:37 > 6:54:39OK, well, have a feel of that.
6:54:39 > 6:54:43Be very slow, honestly, you don't want to upset it.
6:54:43 > 6:54:45OK. What does that feel like to you?
6:54:47 > 6:54:49They're found in the rainforest...
6:54:49 > 6:54:51Sorry, that's not true. They're not dangerous at all.
6:54:51 > 6:54:53- Take it out. - Take it out for us, Steve.
6:54:53 > 6:54:56This is the highest accolade we can bestow anybody on Blue Peter.
6:54:56 > 6:54:59- You are genuinely the biggest legend...- No!
6:54:59 > 6:55:00Deadly 60 is such an amazing show.
6:55:00 > 6:55:04The stuff you've done over the years is absolutely incredible.
6:55:04 > 6:55:06You are well worthy of a gold Blue Peter badge.
6:55:06 > 6:55:08I don't know what to say!
6:55:08 > 6:55:11Steve will be sticking around. He can tell you how he feels later
6:55:11 > 6:55:12and you can ask him a question,
6:55:12 > 6:55:14but, before that, here's what's still to come.
6:55:15 > 6:55:21I go dancing Cossack-style on our trip around Poland and Ukraine.
6:55:21 > 6:55:24And we'll be interviewing Justin Bieber to get the inside story
6:55:24 > 6:55:26on his brand-new album.
6:55:29 > 6:55:32That's a great shot to start off with, cheers for that, Barney!
6:55:32 > 6:55:36Don't forget, you can still e-mail to ask Steve any question you like.
6:55:36 > 6:55:38He's a legend, right here in the studio.
6:55:38 > 6:55:41Get them in to us, usual address, and we'll get them to him later on.
6:55:41 > 6:55:45The European championships are in full swing
6:55:45 > 6:55:47and our pundits Bobby and Will have been keeping you up-to-date.
6:55:47 > 6:55:51We're at the quarterfinal stages and here they are with the latest.
6:55:56 > 6:55:58Welcome to another edition of Bobby And Will's Kick Off,
6:55:58 > 6:56:01- with me, Bobby Fuller... - And me, Will Nye.
6:56:01 > 6:56:04We're back, to give you the latest news and gossip from Euro 2012.
6:56:04 > 6:56:06These are the headlines.
6:56:06 > 6:56:08BELL CHIMES
6:56:08 > 6:56:11England produced a hair-raising display.
6:56:11 > 6:56:13BELL CHIMES
6:56:13 > 6:56:14And the group stages are over,
6:56:14 > 6:56:17so we've got our predictions for the quarterfinals.
6:56:20 > 6:56:22England produced a gritty display
6:56:22 > 6:56:26when they took on the home nation, Ukraine, on Tuesday night.
6:56:26 > 6:56:29To everyone's surprise, they came top of their group,
6:56:29 > 6:56:33after Wayne Rooney secured a 1-0 win with this goal.
6:56:34 > 6:56:37'He's got into a crossing position and it's all the way across and in!
6:56:37 > 6:56:38'Rooney's put it in!
6:56:38 > 6:56:41'England have the need that they so desperately needed.'
6:56:43 > 6:56:45Bet you're wondering what the celebration was about though.
6:56:45 > 6:56:48Apparently, Rooney put down his goal success
6:56:48 > 6:56:50to using Andy Carroll's hair product.
6:56:50 > 6:56:53He even said he hopes he ends up with hair like Big Andy.
6:56:53 > 6:56:55Tell you what, Bobby, it's good.
6:56:55 > 6:56:58I've been using it since Tuesday and, well, look at me.
6:56:58 > 6:57:00Frightening!
6:57:03 > 6:57:07The quarterfinals begin tonight, so let's have a look at the fixtures
6:57:07 > 6:57:10and who we think are going through to the semis.
6:57:10 > 6:57:14We've already proven we know a thing or two about predictions
6:57:14 > 6:57:15as we correctly predicted
6:57:15 > 6:57:18that Spain and Germany would both reach the top of their groups.
6:57:18 > 6:57:20That's two out of four correct,
6:57:20 > 6:57:23but we've also learnt we should never underestimate the English.
6:57:23 > 6:57:24They finished top of their group
6:57:24 > 6:57:26and avoid champions, Spain, in the next round.
6:57:26 > 6:57:28Czech Republic versus Portugal...
6:57:28 > 6:57:32We're going to go with Portugal to progress through to the semis
6:57:32 > 6:57:36as we think that Cristiano Ronaldo will steal the show in this game.
6:57:36 > 6:57:39And Germany versus Greece - we've gone for a German victory,
6:57:39 > 6:57:42as we think they're hitting top form right now.
6:57:42 > 6:57:46The third quarterfinal is Spain versus France.
6:57:46 > 6:57:49We think Spain will win
6:57:49 > 6:57:52as they are playing some magnificent football lately.
6:57:52 > 6:57:55And last, but not least, England versus Italy.
6:57:55 > 6:57:57We've gone for an England win
6:57:57 > 6:58:00and for them to progress to the semifinals.
6:58:00 > 6:58:04So that's our predictions. But that's not the only reason we're here.
6:58:04 > 6:58:08We took a sneak peek behind the scenes at BBC Sport
6:58:08 > 6:58:11to see how they do such amazing coverage.
6:58:11 > 6:58:14We bumped into a very famous face along the way.
6:58:14 > 6:58:16I bet he doesn't drop his props!
6:58:20 > 6:58:21Now, it's the first time the BBC
6:58:21 > 6:58:24have filmed a major football tournament here in Salford!
6:58:26 > 6:58:29It's pretty big, isn't it? Bet it cost a lot.
6:58:29 > 6:58:30Yes, it did, Will.
6:58:30 > 6:58:33We're going to show the Blue Peter viewers how it's all done.
6:58:33 > 6:58:37What, we're going to get to go to the Match Of The Day studios?
6:58:37 > 6:58:40Yes, Will. But first we need to find out where it is.
6:58:40 > 6:58:45Don't worry. I'm an excellent navigator. Follow me.
6:58:45 > 6:58:48- It's round this way? - Yes, it's just round here.
6:58:52 > 6:58:56Will, this is taking too long. Let's split up.
6:59:01 > 6:59:04Where is it?
6:59:04 > 6:59:09Well, here we are, even though it took us half an hour to get here.
6:59:09 > 6:59:12So, here we are in the brand-new BBC Sport studios.
6:59:12 > 6:59:15Pretty impressive, isn't it?
6:59:15 > 6:59:16We're going to have a look at
6:59:16 > 6:59:19an exciting aspect of technology BBC Sport are using.
6:59:19 > 6:59:21If you could stand here, please.
6:59:21 > 6:59:23OK, but what are you doing?
6:59:23 > 6:59:26So, these red lights, which are all round the studio,
6:59:26 > 6:59:29send a message to the cameras which is then translated onto our screens.
6:59:29 > 6:59:32These graphics are designed to sit on the studio floor
6:59:32 > 6:59:34and, as the camera moves, the graphics adapt.
6:59:34 > 6:59:37- They're very clever, aren't they, Bobby?- Not bad at all.
6:59:37 > 6:59:41If we make a good impression, I can see us presenting this show.
6:59:41 > 6:59:42Ooh, not bad.
6:59:44 > 6:59:47'These are the actual seats the BBC pundits sit on
6:59:47 > 6:59:49'and they're still pretty warm!'
6:59:49 > 6:59:51'Tell me about it, Bobby!'
6:59:51 > 6:59:54Excuse me... Can I help you?
6:59:54 > 6:59:56- Oh, yeah, two teas would be great. - Teas?!
6:59:56 > 7:00:01Sir Gary, I mean, Mr Lineker...
7:00:01 > 7:00:04Sorry. I love your crisps.
7:00:04 > 7:00:07So, do you still wish you were back on the pitch?
7:00:07 > 7:00:12Sometimes. I miss the big game or perhaps scoring an important goal,
7:00:12 > 7:00:15but it's actually a lot easier telling them how to do it!
7:00:15 > 7:00:17Is watching football all day the best job in the world?
7:00:17 > 7:00:19I'd say it quite probably is, yeah.
7:00:19 > 7:00:24'During a big tournament like the Euros, what challenges do you face?'
7:00:24 > 7:00:28We just have to tell the story, really, don't we?
7:00:28 > 7:00:31It all depends on the football. Obviously we need really good games,
7:00:31 > 7:00:34like we've had at the Euros. It's been great,
7:00:34 > 7:00:36lots of great games and great action...
7:00:36 > 7:00:40which reminds me. I sort of need to do my job.
7:00:40 > 7:00:43We're on air in a minute, we're on telly, so you might...
7:00:43 > 7:00:46Sure, sure.
7:00:46 > 7:00:47See you, boys.
7:00:47 > 7:00:49- Nice to meet you.- See you!
7:00:49 > 7:00:52"I like your crisps." What a line! Love it.
7:00:52 > 7:00:54Bobby and Will will be back with us next week.
7:00:54 > 7:00:57As the European championships are happening in Poland and Ukraine,
7:00:57 > 7:01:00Barney and I went on a special road trip to explore the two countries.
7:01:00 > 7:01:02We continue our adventure in Ukraine.
7:01:02 > 7:01:05- I'm laughing, cos I know what's coming.- Stop it!- It's brilliant.
7:01:05 > 7:01:07The next stop for me was Lviv
7:01:07 > 7:01:10and I was set a challenge to become a Cossack dancer,
7:01:10 > 7:01:13so that's Cossack dancing with a real Cossack troupe
7:01:13 > 7:01:15who are really talented and very strong
7:01:15 > 7:01:18and I'm not. I'm so sorry.
7:01:18 > 7:01:21'So far on our journey through Poland, Helen and I have sampled
7:01:21 > 7:01:24'the culinary delights of Warsaw...'
7:01:24 > 7:01:25Whoa!
7:01:25 > 7:01:28'Gone underground in Krakow
7:01:28 > 7:01:32'and got crafty making our paper designs.'
7:01:32 > 7:01:34Da-nah!
7:01:34 > 7:01:36'But now the time has come for us to part ways
7:01:36 > 7:01:39'and explore the second hosting country of the 2012s,
7:01:39 > 7:01:41'Ukraine.'
7:01:41 > 7:01:44I'm about to board the one o'clock train,
7:01:44 > 7:01:46which takes me from here in Krakow in the European Union
7:01:46 > 7:01:50200 miles away to a little place called Lviv in Ukraine.
7:01:50 > 7:01:52I won't get there till midnight tonight.
7:01:52 > 7:01:56It's a ten-hour journey, so I hope my seat's a comfy one.
7:01:58 > 7:02:01'And, with such a long journey ahead of me,
7:02:01 > 7:02:05'I'm keen to jump on board, find my cabin and make myself at home.'
7:02:05 > 7:02:07Oh, very nice!
7:02:07 > 7:02:09Yes, and comfortable too.
7:02:09 > 7:02:12Not bad, eh? This is the best class cabin on this train.
7:02:12 > 7:02:14It might be basic, but it's got everything you need.
7:02:14 > 7:02:17I've got a bed for a sleep,
7:02:17 > 7:02:19a nice comfy chair I can lie down on,
7:02:19 > 7:02:22shelves, a cupboard - with power, so I can plug my laptop in,
7:02:22 > 7:02:24do a bit of editing.
7:02:24 > 7:02:29And this shelf down here, I think, if I lift it...hey! It's a sink.
7:02:29 > 7:02:31This will be an entertaining journey.
7:02:34 > 7:02:37'For long, inter-city journeys in Europe, trains are hugely popular
7:02:37 > 7:02:39'as they are much cheaper than flying.
7:02:39 > 7:02:41'Train carriages in Poland tend to be old.
7:02:41 > 7:02:45'The rail networks are in desperate need of updating.
7:02:49 > 7:02:51'After just two hours of my journey,
7:02:51 > 7:02:56'the train arrives at a small town for an unusual pit-stop.'
7:02:57 > 7:02:59You can see the smile on my face.
7:02:59 > 7:03:01Something exciting is about to happen now.
7:03:01 > 7:03:03The wheels are going to be changed on the train,
7:03:03 > 7:03:06because the track is a different size where we are heading.
7:03:07 > 7:03:10'The train tracks in Ukraine are narrower than Poland.
7:03:10 > 7:03:13'It's only an 85mm difference,
7:03:13 > 7:03:16'but, before my train can go any further,
7:03:16 > 7:03:17'it needs a new set of wheels.'
7:03:24 > 7:03:26'Normally, passengers have to stay on board
7:03:26 > 7:03:30'while the engineers swap wheels, but they're letting me help.'
7:03:30 > 7:03:33The first job is to get the jacks in place
7:03:33 > 7:03:37under the carriage of the train and, once they are in place,
7:03:37 > 7:03:39we press a button
7:03:39 > 7:03:41and a big hydraulic system lifts the train into the air.
7:03:43 > 7:03:48'With the train locked in and secured, it's on to stage two.'
7:03:50 > 7:03:54This is the electronic engineer and it's his job to press the buttons
7:03:54 > 7:03:56to lift the train into the air
7:03:56 > 7:03:59and he has kindly agreed to let me press the button.
7:03:59 > 7:04:03This button here, yeah? OK?
7:04:03 > 7:04:07'Once the train has been lifted and the Polish wheels removed,
7:04:07 > 7:04:10'it's time for the final stage of the operation.'
7:04:10 > 7:04:12These are the new wheels that are going onto the train,
7:04:12 > 7:04:15the train that's a good metre and a half in the air.
7:04:15 > 7:04:18Once these are in exactly the same position as the others,
7:04:18 > 7:04:21they will be bolted on to the train and we'll set off again.
7:04:28 > 7:04:31Now the engineers are attaching the new wheels to the train,
7:04:31 > 7:04:34they'll put some power onto them as well, so they work properly,
7:04:34 > 7:04:35lower the train again.
7:04:35 > 7:04:38That's the train being lowered back into position,
7:04:38 > 7:04:41then off we go to Lviv.
7:04:41 > 7:04:45When was the last time you walked under a train? Amazing.
7:04:46 > 7:04:51'The whole process takes over two hours.
7:04:54 > 7:04:57'With the Ukrainian wheels finally fitted,
7:04:57 > 7:04:59'we are off on the last three-hour leg of our journey,
7:04:59 > 7:05:02'which leaves me loads of times to edit my photographs.'
7:05:08 > 7:05:12It's the end of such a long journey,
7:05:12 > 7:05:14even longer than it was supposed to be.
7:05:14 > 7:05:17It's actually 1am because the train was delayed,
7:05:17 > 7:05:19so what I need to know is where I am staying.
7:05:19 > 7:05:25So, I am staying in a 300-year-old fortress.
7:05:25 > 7:05:26That sounds exciting!
7:05:26 > 7:05:29To be honest, I'm that tired, I'll sleep anywhere.
7:05:31 > 7:05:34And here it is. Of course, it's a bit dark at the moment
7:05:34 > 7:05:36to see in all its glory,
7:05:36 > 7:05:38but you never know what the morning may bring.
7:05:38 > 7:05:41For now, I'm going to bed. Night night.
7:05:41 > 7:05:44- Hello.- Hello.- Thank you.
7:05:45 > 7:05:47Because I arrived at night,
7:05:47 > 7:05:49I couldn't appreciate how gorgeous this place is,
7:05:49 > 7:05:53but now the sun has come up, isn't it amazing?
7:05:53 > 7:05:57'This is a typical 19th century Ukrainian fortress
7:05:57 > 7:06:02'that has cost millions of pounds to restore to its former glory.
7:06:03 > 7:06:06'It is situated in the hilltops overlooking Lviv.
7:06:09 > 7:06:11'The city is going football mad
7:06:11 > 7:06:15'as fans are staying here to watch the Euro 2012 matches.
7:06:15 > 7:06:19'Even the town's historic statues are getting in on the act.
7:06:19 > 7:06:22'Something just as old as Lviv's statues
7:06:22 > 7:06:25'is the traditional dance of the nation
7:06:25 > 7:06:27'which I'm going to be trying out at the local dance school.'
7:06:27 > 7:06:29LIVELY MUSIC PLAYS
7:06:37 > 7:06:38'This is Cossack dancing,
7:06:38 > 7:06:41'performed by the local dance troupe.'
7:06:42 > 7:06:43Wow, they're fast!
7:06:43 > 7:06:47'It dates back 400 years to a time when warriors called Cossacks
7:06:47 > 7:06:51'returned from battle and dance to celebrate their victories.'
7:06:51 > 7:06:55I can't believe I'm going to do this. This looks really difficult.
7:06:55 > 7:06:57How high was that?!
7:06:57 > 7:06:58I'm not doing that, am I?!
7:07:00 > 7:07:03Wow, that was amazing. What a show.
7:07:03 > 7:07:04- Nice to meet you.- Hello.
7:07:04 > 7:07:10You're going to try to teach me how to Cossack dance, yes?
7:07:10 > 7:07:16Yes. First of all, one, two, one, two, one, two.
7:07:16 > 7:07:22'He has broken down the main moves into key parts. First, feet.'
7:07:22 > 7:07:24Toes, heel, toes, heel.
7:07:24 > 7:07:27'Easy. Then the knees.'
7:07:27 > 7:07:31- First we make a preesyadkee. - Preesyadkee.
7:07:31 > 7:07:35Bend one...right leg, then...left.
7:07:35 > 7:07:41- Bend...heel, toes, heel.- Very nice. - OK.
7:07:41 > 7:07:43'Easy! Now he adds arms to that.'
7:07:43 > 7:07:47OK, one, two, one, two.
7:07:47 > 7:07:49One, two, one, two.
7:07:49 > 7:07:53OK, so it's bend...two...bend...
7:07:53 > 7:07:54'OK, not so easy.'
7:07:54 > 7:07:59- Hang on, hang on.- Bend, two... bend, two...
7:07:59 > 7:08:01- Yes.- OK.
7:08:01 > 7:08:03I'll practise that.
7:08:03 > 7:08:06'I don't have much time to learn the steps
7:08:06 > 7:08:09'before performing with the troupe.
7:08:09 > 7:08:11'I've got to say, I am feeling the pressure to get it right.'
7:08:13 > 7:08:16It's fair to say this is one of the most difficult things I've done.
7:08:16 > 7:08:18It takes a lot of power in the muscles
7:08:18 > 7:08:20when they bend down and jump up.
7:08:20 > 7:08:23I've only been doing this for a couple of minutes
7:08:23 > 7:08:25and already I can feel my muscles burning a bit.
7:08:25 > 7:08:29These guys do it five times the pace, and make it look easy.
7:08:34 > 7:08:38Barney is a very talented boy.
7:08:38 > 7:08:43The steps we learn are very hard.
7:08:43 > 7:08:46For Barney, it is easy.
7:08:48 > 7:08:51OK, I think I have practised all I can.
7:08:51 > 7:08:53I'm sweating, it's hard work.
7:08:53 > 7:08:56I haven't even given it all these guys do.
7:08:56 > 7:08:59And I've got to keep up with that.
7:08:59 > 7:09:00I think I know the moves.
7:09:00 > 7:09:02I think I know where I am going to stand.
7:09:02 > 7:09:04All we can do is hope for the best,
7:09:04 > 7:09:07but, first, I have got to get changed into my costume.
7:09:07 > 7:09:09I'll see you in a bit.
7:09:09 > 7:09:13'So, I'm suited and booted, with my barrel and I'm ready to go.'
7:09:13 > 7:09:16That's the whole point of this dance.
7:09:16 > 7:09:18Some of the boys try to steal it from me.
7:09:18 > 7:09:22I'm doing a dance to warn them off, I guess.
7:09:45 > 7:09:48'Well, that seemed to go OK.
7:09:48 > 7:09:51'What am I doing? What, me? My turn? OK.
7:09:51 > 7:09:55'Just spin for all you're worth, Barney boy!
7:09:58 > 7:10:00'Should I be doing this?
7:10:00 > 7:10:03'OK, then.'
7:10:08 > 7:10:11'Please make them stop. Stop!
7:10:13 > 7:10:16'Thank goodness for that! Phew!
7:10:16 > 7:10:18'Well, that was hard,
7:10:18 > 7:10:20'but it looks like I have impressed the local lads
7:10:20 > 7:10:23'as they throw the new boy in the air.
7:10:25 > 7:10:29'Don't drop me! No, seriously, boys, don't drop me!
7:10:32 > 7:10:34That's how you finish a show.
7:10:34 > 7:10:35APPLAUSE
7:10:39 > 7:10:42Well, that was Cossack dancing at its finest behind me.
7:10:42 > 7:10:46Then, of course, I had a go and the rest is history.
7:10:46 > 7:10:50'What a trip I've had. I've walked under a train,
7:10:50 > 7:10:52'stayed in a medieval fortress
7:10:52 > 7:10:55'and cut some serious Cossack moves on the dance floor.
7:10:55 > 7:10:57'I'm going to miss Ukraine.'
7:10:57 > 7:11:00Excuse me, I think I need to pass out!
7:11:02 > 7:11:04It's quite a manly dance, isn't it?
7:11:04 > 7:11:07You need big, strong thigh muscles to do that dance.
7:11:07 > 7:11:09But it's very impressive how you make it quite sweet.
7:11:09 > 7:11:13I genuinely enjoyed myself. Go and take up Cossack dancing lessons!
7:11:13 > 7:11:18There's lots of our trip in Poland and Ukraine on the website...
7:11:18 > 7:11:20You can see me in Lviv, trying chocolate making.
7:11:20 > 7:11:23I've been loving this jet-setting lifestyle.
7:11:23 > 7:11:25Somebody else with one of those is Justin Bieber.
7:11:25 > 7:11:27But he did have time to talk to me about his new album.
7:11:27 > 7:11:29Here it is.
7:11:29 > 7:11:31He's the original internet pop sensation,
7:11:31 > 7:11:34he's sold 15 million albums worldwide.
7:11:34 > 7:11:36His haircut has been copied the world over.
7:11:36 > 7:11:39His first UK performance was on Blue Peter.
7:11:39 > 7:11:41You know who he is. He needs no introduction.
7:11:41 > 7:11:43He's the one, the only, Mr Justin Bieber!
7:11:43 > 7:11:48# If I was your boyfriend Never let you go... #
7:11:48 > 7:11:51- Justin Bieber, thank you so much for joining us.- Thank you for having me.
7:11:51 > 7:11:53It's nice to see your smiley face
7:11:53 > 7:11:56- and get our fans that are watching so excited to see you.- Of course.
7:11:56 > 7:12:00Let's start off with your album. What can the fans expect from it?
7:12:00 > 7:12:02There's some collaborations.
7:12:02 > 7:12:06I'm working with Kanye and Taylor Swift and lots of different people.
7:12:06 > 7:12:08You're quite close to the songs on the album,
7:12:08 > 7:12:11so it might be hard to answer this next question,
7:12:11 > 7:12:12but do you have a favourite?
7:12:12 > 7:12:14The whole album is so special to me.
7:12:14 > 7:12:18We have 40 songs we needed to choose from,
7:12:18 > 7:12:21but my favourite is As Long As You Love Me.
7:12:21 > 7:12:25I love that song. I love Thought Of You.
7:12:25 > 7:12:28I have so many favourites. I'm excited for everyone to hear it.
7:12:28 > 7:12:32If you were to give any advice to our viewers who are your fans
7:12:32 > 7:12:33who want to be a star one day like you,
7:12:33 > 7:12:36what advice would you give them about writing music?
7:12:36 > 7:12:39If you like writing music,
7:12:39 > 7:12:42think about past experiences you have been through. That's what I do.
7:12:42 > 7:12:45I like to write about what I've gone through.
7:12:45 > 7:12:49# You're all I need, girl
7:12:49 > 7:12:53# Spend a week wit your boy I'll be calling you my girlfriend. #
7:12:53 > 7:12:56What song are you listening to? Is there one you like in the charts?
7:12:56 > 7:12:58I like Boyfriend.
7:12:58 > 7:12:59OK, course you do. Nice.
7:12:59 > 7:13:03One final thing before we go, I have a present for you.
7:13:03 > 7:13:06- OK.- It is from all of us at Blue Peter and anybody who watches.
7:13:06 > 7:13:08We think it's right up your street.
7:13:08 > 7:13:11It's called an air guitar T-shirt.
7:13:11 > 7:13:14It's got an amp plugged in.
7:13:14 > 7:13:15- You can play it?- It plays.
7:13:17 > 7:13:19GUITAR MUSIC PLAYS
7:13:23 > 7:13:25That's pretty loud.
7:13:25 > 7:13:27You have plenty of time on the tour bus to have a go
7:13:27 > 7:13:29and hopefully it will keep you entertained.
7:13:29 > 7:13:32- Justin Bieber, thank you very much. - Thank you.
7:13:35 > 7:13:38# If I was your boyfriend... #
7:13:42 > 7:13:46So, there you have it. All you need to know about Justin Bieber.
7:13:46 > 7:13:48I have got to get myself one of those T-shirts.
7:13:48 > 7:13:52I shouldn't have given that one away. Oh, man!
7:13:52 > 7:13:55Justin Bieber may have 20 million followers,
7:13:55 > 7:13:58but today we have had a record number of e-mails
7:13:58 > 7:14:00sent in for the legend that is Steve Backshall.
7:14:00 > 7:14:04That's absolutely true, we've had so many in. Let's get started.
7:14:04 > 7:14:08Arthur's been in touch to ask has an animal ever done a pooh on you?
7:14:08 > 7:14:10Once or twice. I once had, live on stage,
7:14:10 > 7:14:14a massive reticulated python go all down my leg. It was like a racehorse.
7:14:14 > 7:14:16- What?!- Oh, nice.
7:14:16 > 7:14:19Have you ever been injured by an animal?
7:14:19 > 7:14:21No. So-called dangerous animals
7:14:21 > 7:14:24are very rarely dangerous to human beings.
7:14:24 > 7:14:26- Do you ever get scared?- Not really.
7:14:26 > 7:14:29- Look at him go!- He's manly, that's why!
7:14:29 > 7:14:33Well worthy of that badge. What made you jump the most?
7:14:33 > 7:14:36Probably getting bitten by a caiman in a swamp in Argentina.
7:14:36 > 7:14:38Best bit of TV I've seen for a long time.
7:14:38 > 7:14:41- If you haven't seen it, iPlayer it, it's amazing.- Thanks a lot(!)
7:14:41 > 7:14:45If you could become any animal, what would it be?
7:14:45 > 7:14:48A bird. I think every human being would love the ability to fly.
7:14:48 > 7:14:50Yeah, definitely.
7:14:50 > 7:14:52Last e-mail before we go to the callers.
7:14:52 > 7:14:54If you could add any other job, what would be and why?
7:14:54 > 7:14:58I would work in a game reserve as a guide.
7:14:58 > 7:15:01A couple people on the phone dying to ask you a question.
7:15:01 > 7:15:04- Hello, Aman.- 'Hi.' - What's your question for Steve?
7:15:04 > 7:15:09'What inspired him to explore wildlife?'
7:15:09 > 7:15:11My mum and dad.
7:15:11 > 7:15:13I loved reading about wildlife when I was a kid,
7:15:13 > 7:15:15Gerald Durrell, Jack London,
7:15:15 > 7:15:20those kinds of things set me on my way to becoming a naturalist.
7:15:20 > 7:15:22Thanks for your question, Aman. Michael, are you there?
7:15:22 > 7:15:24- 'Hello.'- What's your question?
7:15:24 > 7:15:28What is your favourite pizza and would you feed it to an animal?
7:15:28 > 7:15:30My favourite kind of pizza
7:15:30 > 7:15:33would be covered in the hottest peppers you can imagine
7:15:33 > 7:15:37and no, never feed pizza to a wild animal, ever!
7:15:37 > 7:15:40Barney the dog, however, loves pizza. Thank you very much, Michael.
7:15:40 > 7:15:43One final one. How do you become an animal expert?
7:15:43 > 7:15:48Just learn as much as you can about the natural world and start now.
7:15:48 > 7:15:49Will you marry my mum, says Harry?
7:15:49 > 7:15:52Right here, right now, Steve...
7:15:52 > 7:15:53Er...
7:15:53 > 7:15:54- We can leave you hanging.- Thank you!
7:15:54 > 7:15:58Here's what's happening on next week's show.
7:15:58 > 7:16:03Our road trip in Ukraine continues. I find out what Kiev has to offer.
7:16:03 > 7:16:06To celebrate American Independence Day,
7:16:06 > 7:16:09that's the 4th July, the Shake It Up girls will be here,
7:16:09 > 7:16:12showing us how to make a milkshake with a difference.
7:16:12 > 7:16:16That's next Thursday, but you can see us on Saturday morning at 9am
7:16:16 > 7:16:18on the CBBC channel.
