0:00:11 > 0:00:12Good morning, I'm Ayshah.
0:00:12 > 0:00:15First - a two-minute silence has just been held to mark the moment
0:00:15 > 0:00:19one of the deadliest battles of World War One started,
0:00:19 > 0:00:21exactly 100 years ago.
0:00:21 > 0:00:24More than a million soldiers were killed or wounded in the Battle
0:00:24 > 0:00:28of the Somme in northern France.
0:00:28 > 0:00:30There have been vigils overnight to remember them.
0:00:31 > 0:00:34Martin's met children who've been retracing the journeys of men
0:00:34 > 0:00:38who left their homes and risked their lives for Britain.
0:00:40 > 0:00:43Private William Henry Roberts of the Northumberland Fusiliers.
0:00:43 > 0:00:46Lance Corporal John Abbott King of the
0:00:46 > 0:00:49Kings Liverpool Regiment.
0:00:49 > 0:00:51Private Harry Ingham of the Royal Fusiliers.
0:00:51 > 0:00:54These guys have come here from all over the UK
0:00:54 > 0:00:56to the battlefields where
0:00:56 > 0:00:59the local heroes fought during World War I.
0:00:59 > 0:01:02So, usually people come here
0:01:02 > 0:01:05to look at the graves of people they've known or have been related
0:01:05 > 0:01:08to in some way or another, but today I'm here because we were researching
0:01:08 > 0:01:12soldiers and one of them we found was actually from my hometown.
0:01:12 > 0:01:14We came here to look back on the lives
0:01:14 > 0:01:17of the soldiers and see what they went through, really.
0:01:17 > 0:01:19I'm here because there is a soldier I've been
0:01:19 > 0:01:21researching.
0:01:21 > 0:01:24He was actually living on the same street as my school.
0:01:24 > 0:01:26I've come here because I'm researching a
0:01:26 > 0:01:28soldier who was, he actually lived on my road.
0:01:28 > 0:01:30He actually lived six houses away from me.
0:01:30 > 0:01:33So, what did you find out about the soldier?
0:01:33 > 0:01:36He was actually a former England rugby
0:01:36 > 0:01:37football international player.
0:01:37 > 0:01:40He was actually killed in action in France here.
0:01:40 > 0:01:43I found out he was a miller's clerk.
0:01:43 > 0:01:45And that he was a private in the Army.
0:01:45 > 0:01:46What is next for you, guys?
0:01:46 > 0:01:50What are you going to do now to help out with your research?
0:01:50 > 0:01:53We are going to go find out where and how they died and see
0:01:53 > 0:01:55if we can find where they were buried.
0:01:55 > 0:02:00All three men fought in the
0:02:00 > 0:02:04Battle of the Somme, one of the deadliest
0:02:05 > 0:02:08events of the First World War.
0:02:08 > 0:02:12Like millions of other soldiers who lost their lives in the fight.
0:02:14 > 0:02:20So I'm looking for the soldier I researched, who is Harry Ingham.
0:02:20 > 0:02:22And he should be on 8C, which is
0:02:22 > 0:02:24here.
0:02:24 > 0:02:26I was looking for Henry Roberts.
0:02:26 > 0:02:30Should be on this one somewhere.
0:02:30 > 0:02:35He is right at the top so I will put it here.
0:02:38 > 0:02:40He was from my road as well, he lived a few
0:02:40 > 0:02:41houses away from me.
0:02:41 > 0:02:47It is weird to see his name on there.
0:02:51 > 0:02:54It really brings it into reality seeing the
0:02:54 > 0:02:55names on this wall.
0:02:55 > 0:02:57It is an actual person.
0:02:57 > 0:03:00For Marie, Imal and Cara, tracing the journey of the
0:03:00 > 0:03:03soldiers from their home towns to where they fought and died has made
0:03:03 > 0:03:06a lasting impression.
0:03:06 > 0:03:09Every soldier named on these monuments has their
0:03:09 > 0:03:11own story.
0:03:11 > 0:03:14And you can be sure to find someone remembered here who
0:03:14 > 0:03:16grew up in a place you live now.
0:03:18 > 0:03:19Thanks, guys.
0:03:19 > 0:03:23A week ago today, adults across the country voted for the UK
0:03:23 > 0:03:26to leave a club of 28 countries called the European Union.
0:03:26 > 0:03:30But there was a big difference between how younger and older people
0:03:30 > 0:03:33voted, as Naz has been finding out.
0:03:33 > 0:03:36The UK voted to leave the European Union, but did you know
0:03:36 > 0:03:40most young people who voted wanted to stay,
0:03:40 > 0:03:44and lots of older people wanted to leave?
0:03:44 > 0:03:45Hello, everyone.
0:03:45 > 0:03:50I've come along to meet one family who all have very different views.
0:03:50 > 0:03:54Hello, I'm Sophie, I'm 14 and I would have loved it if the UK
0:03:54 > 0:03:56had stayed in the EU.
0:03:56 > 0:03:59Hi, I'm Mike, I'm Sophie's grandad, I voted to leave the EU.
0:03:59 > 0:04:01Hi, I'm Caroline, I'm Sophie's mum and I voted
0:04:01 > 0:04:04to remain in the EU.
0:04:04 > 0:04:08So, Sophie, why did you feel so strongly about that big EU vote?
0:04:08 > 0:04:12The main reason I wanted to stay in the EU is because of the workers'
0:04:12 > 0:04:13rights.
0:04:13 > 0:04:16For example, we don't get forced to work more than 48 hours a
0:04:16 > 0:04:20week and that could change by the time I'm an adult and working.
0:04:20 > 0:04:22And I think it is unfair we weren't able
0:04:22 > 0:04:24to vote for that when it is our future.
0:04:24 > 0:04:26I'm surprised that you felt so strongly about these
0:04:26 > 0:04:28issues.
0:04:28 > 0:04:32If I had my time again, I wouldn't have made the decision
0:04:32 > 0:04:34without having spoken to you.
0:04:34 > 0:04:36I think it was quite unfair and quite
0:04:36 > 0:04:38selfish of you to not have spoken to me, because now
0:04:38 > 0:04:40there's so many things I
0:04:40 > 0:04:43won't get an opportunity to do, or might not get an opportunity
0:04:43 > 0:04:45to do, like travel freely.
0:04:45 > 0:04:48I think that the only impact will be that you will go
0:04:48 > 0:04:50back to what we had where you have a stamp
0:04:50 > 0:04:52and a passport and you have to
0:04:52 > 0:04:54wait a bit longer in the queue.
0:04:54 > 0:04:56It makes me quite angry that you voted
0:04:56 > 0:04:59to leave because it is our generation and we are going to have
0:04:59 > 0:05:02to deal with the consequences more, and for longer, and we should have
0:05:02 > 0:05:03had a say in it.
0:05:03 > 0:05:05If you could go back and vote again, would you
0:05:05 > 0:05:07change your mind this time?
0:05:07 > 0:05:09I do have some regrets because what we've been
0:05:09 > 0:05:14talking about has opened my eyes, and if I had my time again, I might
0:05:14 > 0:05:16well do.
0:05:16 > 0:05:20But we will still be friends, won't we?
0:05:20 > 0:05:21Maybe.
0:05:21 > 0:05:24That's all from me for now, Newsround's back in half an hour,
0:05:24 > 0:05:27and we'll have the latest from France on Wales's big Euros
0:05:27 > 0:05:28match tonight.
0:05:28 > 0:05:29See ya.
