Hello, Ayshah here with the last Newsround update today. | 0:00:02 | 0:00:05 | |
Stay tuned for all of this. | 0:00:05 | 0:00:07 | |
Shock for tennis fans as Djokovic crashes out of Wimbledon. | 0:00:08 | 0:00:10 | |
THEY CHANT IN ICELANDIC | 0:00:13 | 0:00:16 | |
Iceland fans tell us why they think they can go all the way. | 0:00:16 | 0:00:18 | |
This week marks 100 years since the Battle of the Somme, | 0:00:27 | 0:00:30 | |
one of the deadliest events of the First World War. | 0:00:30 | 0:00:33 | |
Martin's been to France to find out more. | 0:00:33 | 0:00:35 | |
I'm here to meet some kids from all over the UK who have | 0:00:36 | 0:00:39 | |
travelled here to France to go on the same journey | 0:00:39 | 0:00:41 | |
the soldiers did 100 years ago. | 0:00:41 | 0:00:44 | |
One of them is Laurie. | 0:00:44 | 0:00:46 | |
I'm trying to learn about my great-great-uncle. | 0:00:47 | 0:00:49 | |
I already know that his name is Joshua Stevens and | 0:00:50 | 0:00:52 | |
he came here to fight. | 0:00:52 | 0:00:53 | |
That's all I know at the moment. | 0:00:54 | 0:00:55 | |
So, Simon, what can you tell us about Laurie's great-great-uncle? | 0:00:56 | 0:00:58 | |
We've been able to find out that Joshua Stevens was one of eight | 0:00:58 | 0:01:01 | |
children, he enlisted in the spring of 1916 into the 8th Battalion | 0:01:02 | 0:01:04 | |
of the Worcestershire Regiment. | 0:01:04 | 0:01:07 | |
He would have headed out to France, where he arrived in time to take | 0:01:07 | 0:01:09 | |
part in the Battle of the Somme. | 0:01:09 | 0:01:11 | |
He would have spent a lot of the winter in very uncomfortable, | 0:01:12 | 0:01:13 | |
unpleasant conditions, experiencing all of the worst | 0:01:13 | 0:01:16 | |
that the weather and the Germans could throw at him. | 0:01:16 | 0:01:19 | |
Laurie, do you think you could handle those conditions? | 0:01:20 | 0:01:22 | |
No, I don't think I could actually. | 0:01:22 | 0:01:23 | |
It sounds horrible. | 0:01:24 | 0:01:26 | |
But like millions of soldiers fighting on the Somme | 0:01:26 | 0:01:28 | |
during the First World War, Laurie's great-great-uncle | 0:01:29 | 0:01:31 | |
didn't make it home. | 0:01:31 | 0:01:33 | |
He died whilst fighting here on the 24th of | 0:01:34 | 0:01:35 | |
April 1917, aged 20. | 0:01:36 | 0:01:39 | |
I'm proud of what my great-great-uncle did. | 0:01:39 | 0:01:42 | |
He was a very brave person. | 0:01:42 | 0:01:44 | |
This huge building behind me is the Thiepval | 0:01:45 | 0:01:46 | |
memorial to the missing. | 0:01:46 | 0:01:49 | |
For the soldiers who died fighting for the British | 0:01:49 | 0:01:52 | |
side during World War I, but were never found. | 0:01:52 | 0:01:55 | |
It's here that Laurie has a special task. | 0:01:55 | 0:01:59 | |
Joshua Stevens is here on one of the panels and I'm | 0:01:59 | 0:02:02 | |
going to show my respect by the placing this cross. | 0:02:02 | 0:02:06 | |
Joshua Stevens is one of more than 72,000 soldiers names carved | 0:02:07 | 0:02:11 | |
into the walls here. | 0:02:11 | 0:02:13 | |
All around the world there are memorials like Thiepval | 0:02:13 | 0:02:15 | |
to ensure that those who died during the war are never forgotten. | 0:02:15 | 0:02:21 | |
Go online for everything you need to know about the | 0:02:22 | 0:02:23 | |
Battle of the Somme, including the story of a 12-year-old boy who ran | 0:02:23 | 0:02:27 | |
off to fight in the war. | 0:02:27 | 0:02:29 | |
It's an incredible watch. | 0:02:29 | 0:02:31 | |
Sport now and the biggest shock of the Wimbledon tournament so far. | 0:02:33 | 0:02:35 | |
World number one Novak Djokovic is out. | 0:02:36 | 0:02:37 | |
He was beaten by American Sam Querrey in four sets. | 0:02:38 | 0:02:41 | |
Even though Djokovic seemed pretty unhappy with his performance, | 0:02:41 | 0:02:45 | |
he still praised his opponent. | 0:02:45 | 0:02:46 | |
Congratulations to Sam. | 0:02:48 | 0:02:49 | |
He played a terrific match. | 0:02:50 | 0:02:52 | |
He serves very well, as he usually does, and I think that | 0:02:52 | 0:02:56 | |
part of his game was brutal today. | 0:02:56 | 0:03:00 | |
He made a lot of free points with the first serve and just | 0:03:00 | 0:03:03 | |
well done, you know. | 0:03:03 | 0:03:06 | |
He overpowered me. | 0:03:06 | 0:03:08 | |
And the women's world number one Serena Williams has | 0:03:10 | 0:03:12 | |
just finished her match against Germany's Annika Beck. | 0:03:12 | 0:03:16 | |
After a close-call match in the previous round she's back | 0:03:16 | 0:03:18 | |
on form winning in straight sets. | 0:03:19 | 0:03:22 | |
It wasn't just the tennis that was exciting yesterday, | 0:03:23 | 0:03:25 | |
Germany knocked out Italy on penalties at the | 0:03:26 | 0:03:27 | |
European Championships. | 0:03:28 | 0:03:30 | |
Here's a quick look at what happened. | 0:03:30 | 0:03:32 | |
It was a tight first half, with neither side having much | 0:03:32 | 0:03:34 | |
of a chance in front of goal. | 0:03:35 | 0:03:37 | |
But in the 65th minute, Mesut Ozil put Germany ahead | 0:03:37 | 0:03:39 | |
with this slick passing move. | 0:03:40 | 0:03:44 | |
But a moment of madness from defender Jerome Boateng, | 0:03:44 | 0:03:46 | |
with a handball in the box, and Italy had the chance | 0:03:47 | 0:03:49 | |
to level, and they did. | 0:03:49 | 0:03:52 | |
The match went into extra time, but with nothing between them, | 0:03:52 | 0:03:56 | |
it went to penalties. | 0:03:56 | 0:04:00 | |
Both sides struggled to handle the pressure. | 0:04:00 | 0:04:03 | |
Until at last, in sudden death, Germany finally clinched it. | 0:04:03 | 0:04:08 | |
They've still never lost a shoot-out since the 1976 final | 0:04:09 | 0:04:12 | |
of this competition, when they lost to Czechoslovakia | 0:04:12 | 0:04:14 | |
40 years ago. | 0:04:15 | 0:04:17 | |
Well, Germany will face either France or Iceland in the semifinals, | 0:04:19 | 0:04:22 | |
with their quarterfinal match kicking off later today. | 0:04:22 | 0:04:25 | |
Iceland, who beat England in the last round, | 0:04:26 | 0:04:27 | |
are the lowest-ranked side in the tournament. | 0:04:28 | 0:04:30 | |
So why have they done so well and how will they do against France? | 0:04:30 | 0:04:34 | |
We've been asking some Icelandic fans. | 0:04:34 | 0:04:36 | |
I think they are doing well, because a lot of Icelanders | 0:04:38 | 0:04:41 | |
are at the stadium rooting for them and I think they get a lot | 0:04:41 | 0:04:44 | |
of support from them. | 0:04:45 | 0:04:46 | |
Why do you think Iceland is doing so well in this tournament? | 0:04:47 | 0:04:49 | |
Because the other sides aren't! | 0:04:49 | 0:04:52 | |
I think that Iceland will definitely win. | 0:04:53 | 0:04:56 | |
THEY SING IN ICELANDIC | 0:04:56 | 0:04:59 | |
I think it will be a tie at 1-1 and there will be a penalty | 0:05:00 | 0:05:02 | |
shoot-out and Iceland will win. | 0:05:03 | 0:05:05 | |
So, you think they will win? | 0:05:06 | 0:05:07 | |
Yes. | 0:05:07 | 0:05:09 | |
I think they will have this much goals. | 0:05:09 | 0:05:12 | |
THEY CHANT IN ICELANDIC | 0:05:12 | 0:05:14 | |
We are going to win 1-0. | 0:05:15 | 0:05:17 | |
You're sure? | 0:05:18 | 0:05:19 | |
Yes. | 0:05:19 | 0:05:20 | |

Finally, take a look at one of the newest, | 0:05:28 | 0:05:30 | |
tallest Ferris wheels | 0:05:30 | 0:05:31 | |
in the world. | 0:05:31 | 0:05:32 | |
It's just opened in Japan and is 123 metres tall. | 0:05:33 | 0:05:36 | |
It has 72 pods called gondolas and takes 18 minutes to go round. | 0:05:36 | 0:05:40 | |
It also has a glass bottom for the brave ones | 0:05:41 | 0:05:42 | |
who want to look down. | 0:05:42 | 0:05:44 | |
That's all from me. | 0:05:45 | 0:05:47 | |
