Hi, guys, Ricky here with a detour for the Tour de France coming up. | :00:00. | :00:00. | |
Plus the exhibition dedicated to loos and poos. | :00:00. | :00:09. | |
But first to the record-breaking scientists | :00:10. | :00:18. | |
The team has just resurfaced after spending more than | :00:19. | :00:22. | |
The lab rests almost 20 metres below the surface, just | :00:23. | :00:48. | |
It is where Fabien and his team have spent | :00:49. | :00:52. | |
the past month surrounded by fish, coral and other incredible species. | :00:53. | :01:01. | |
Seeing those animals in slow motion you see things you never are able to | :01:02. | :01:05. | |
see. The science lab is kitted out with | :01:06. | :01:06. | |
air conditioning, a kitchen, bedrooms and even has | :01:07. | :01:09. | |
a wireless Internet access. Living underwater | :01:10. | :01:12. | |
the crew were able to spend less time diving and more time observing | :01:13. | :01:15. | |
marine life and investigating the It has been a difficult endeavour | :01:16. | :01:27. | |
and it was not without its challenges, but at the end of the | :01:28. | :01:32. | |
day I feel it has been extraordinarily successful. | :01:33. | :01:37. | |
Fabien's inspiration for this record-breaking attempt was | :01:38. | :01:40. | |
his grandfather, Jacques Cousteau, a well-known oceanographer who | :01:41. | :01:43. | |
spent 30 days living below the Red Sea 50 years ago. | :01:44. | :01:45. | |
This time around the team's main aim was not to break | :01:46. | :01:48. | |
the previous record, it was to raise awareness of ocean conservation. | :01:49. | :01:56. | |
Next, the opening ceremony for the most famous cycling race | :01:57. | :01:58. | |
in the world, the Tour de France, takes place tonight in Yorkshire. | :01:59. | :02:01. | |
The first leg of the race begins in Leeds before passing through several | :02:02. | :02:04. | |
Otley is one of the small towns en route | :02:05. | :02:08. | |
It has been very busy and there have been loads of bikes. It has been | :02:09. | :02:23. | |
really exciting. It is a fantastic opportunity for Otley because | :02:24. | :02:27. | |
nothing happens here. I am going to watch it with my mum and dad and | :02:28. | :02:30. | |
they are going to go really fast. Now, all this week we are finding | :02:31. | :02:33. | |
out about your hopes, Today we are looking into | :02:34. | :02:36. | |
whether all kids feel like they could get top jobs in the future | :02:37. | :02:40. | |
regardless of their background. Politicians make decisions that | :02:41. | :02:43. | |
affect the whole country, but at the moment only | :02:44. | :02:45. | |
a small number of them in the UK are Ayshea took Newsrounders Mariama | :02:46. | :02:48. | |
and Ronald to find out more why The houses of parliament where | :02:49. | :02:59. | |
decisions are made about how the country is run. But only 4% of | :03:00. | :03:06. | |
people who are politicians are from a non-white background and it is | :03:07. | :03:09. | |
something David Cameron says he wants to change. I am at the houses | :03:10. | :03:16. | |
of parliament and I have brought along Mariama and Ronald and we are | :03:17. | :03:20. | |
here to speak to Sam Gymiah and David Lammy. Why are there not many | :03:21. | :03:30. | |
black politicians? It is barriers in education, barriers in the political | :03:31. | :03:34. | |
parties. It is getting better and all parties are beginning to look | :03:35. | :03:37. | |
different, but we have got some way to go. Within our community we have | :03:38. | :03:44. | |
got to have people who want to say I want to make a difference and I am | :03:45. | :03:49. | |
going to do it through the political process. Our survey suggests | :03:50. | :03:53. | |
children from all backgrounds are least likely to admire politicians. | :03:54. | :03:59. | |
So can David and Sam in dash interest Mariama and Ronald? I want | :04:00. | :04:08. | |
to be a footballer when I am older. Politics is so much better because | :04:09. | :04:11. | |
you can meet interesting people across the country and the world. If | :04:12. | :04:16. | |
you care about the world around you and you see things are unhappy about | :04:17. | :04:22. | |
and you can bring that change about if you become a politician, do it. | :04:23. | :04:27. | |
Following the last general election in 2010, 27 MPs were from an ethnic | :04:28. | :04:34. | |
minority background and it is thought this trend will continue. | :04:35. | :04:40. | |
Both David and Sam hope people from different communities will be | :04:41. | :04:44. | |
joining them in the houses of parliament. | :04:45. | :04:47. | |
Finally, a special exhibition on toilets and poo has opened in Japan. | :04:48. | :04:50. | |
It features a five-metre toilet slide and a singing toilet choir | :04:51. | :04:53. | |
and everyone who goes is expected to wear poo-shaped hats. | :04:54. | :04:56. | |
The people behind it say it is educational. | :04:57. | :04:58. |
