Hi, guys - Ricky here with the hidden mystery under Stonehenge on

:00:00.:00:00.

the way. Plus, find out if giant golf clubs or

:00:07.:00:09.

jumping cats made it into the latest book of world records.

:00:10.:00:19.

But first to major efforts to rescue hundreds of thousands of people left

:00:20.:00:22.

stranded by floods in India and Pakistan. Some areas have

:00:23.:00:26.

experienced the worst flooding for 50 years, with heavy rain destroying

:00:27.:00:31.

roads and houses. Over 400 people have died and more than half a

:00:32.:00:39.

million have been told they may have to leave their homes. The BBC's

:00:40.:00:44.

Andrew North has been finding out what's being done to help people.

:00:45.:00:53.

We are now on one of the rescue boats trying to evacuate people from

:00:54.:00:59.

these outlying villages before the waters rise too high. This team is

:01:00.:01:04.

from the local government. They have been hard at it for days. This is

:01:05.:01:08.

farming area where they grow rice and sugar cane. It has been turned

:01:09.:01:14.

into one giant lake. This village has been cut off for days. Women and

:01:15.:01:22.

children go first. The boats keep going out and finding more people

:01:23.:01:26.

trapped by the rising waters. And this is what they are worried

:01:27.:01:31.

about. This vast surge of water. Where I am right now is the last

:01:32.:01:38.

line of defence. But the levels of water rising so fast, they are

:01:39.:01:41.

worried if this could get overwhelmed as well. In the

:01:42.:01:44.

meantime, hundreds of people are leaving. They are taking everything

:01:45.:01:48.

with them. It is becoming a mass exodus.

:01:49.:01:54.

Join me back here at quarter past eight to see how emergency

:01:55.:01:57.

helicopters are being used to help people in India.

:01:58.:01:59.

Next to that big vote on whether Scotland should become independent

:02:00.:02:02.

from the rest of the UK. Newsround's on a special road trip to see what

:02:03.:02:06.

kids across the country think ahead of the historic decision next week.

:02:07.:02:09.

And this morning, Martin's in a place with very mixed emotions about

:02:10.:02:11.

Good morning, Ricky. With eight days until the people of Scotland decide

:02:12.:02:25.

whether to become an independent country or remain part of the UK, I

:02:26.:02:31.

have come to the Scottish Borders. Right now I am sitting in England. A

:02:32.:02:38.

couple of yards behind me you can see a stone which says Scotland. On

:02:39.:02:42.

the other side of the stone you are in Scotland. Independence would mean

:02:43.:02:48.

big changes for the Scots and it would have a massive impact on the

:02:49.:02:52.

rest of the UK. We caught up with some kids from England, Wales and

:02:53.:02:56.

Northern Ireland to see what they think.

:02:57.:03:03.

Scotland have been with us for a long time. If they went independent

:03:04.:03:07.

it would seem a bit strange that Scotland was not part of the UK. It

:03:08.:03:12.

is good they get to decide their future. Not very happy because my

:03:13.:03:19.

aunt and uncle live in Scotland. Might be good for them but may be

:03:20.:03:26.

bad for us. It is up to Scots to decide but I would like it if they

:03:27.:03:31.

stayed with us. I'm kind of in between because Scotland is one of

:03:32.:03:37.

England's best trade partners. If they leave, I am not really

:03:38.:03:41.

bothered. I'd already know much about them. So if they leave I don't

:03:42.:03:50.

really care. Scotland was leaving, say I had a family Ennis-Hill and

:03:51.:03:57.

one of my family was leaving, and never came back, that is not a

:03:58.:04:02.

family. I think you would miss Scotland as it is a very cool place.

:04:03.:04:07.

It is what they think. They have the right to say they want to leave or

:04:08.:04:09.

stay. Anything could happen really. Archaeologists have discovered

:04:10.:04:18.

hidden monuments below the surface of the ancient structure. Using

:04:19.:04:20.

special equipment which scans below the Earth's surface, experts were

:04:21.:04:23.

able to find evidence of 17 previously unknown wooden or stone

:04:24.:04:25.

structures as well as dozens of burial mounds. The four-year study

:04:26.:04:28.

is the largest ground survey of its 5,000 years old - did not stand

:04:29.:04:34.

alone. Now, get ready for the weird and the

:04:35.:04:36.

wonderful, because Guinness book of World Records is celebrating its

:04:37.:04:39.

60th birthday in style. The 2015 edition includes entries for the

:04:40.:04:41.

world's smallest caravan, the longest golf club and a woman with

:04:42.:04:43.

the biggest collection of plastic

:04:44.:05:01.
