0:00:15 > 0:00:16Good morning.

0:00:16 > 0:00:18Ayshah here with Tuesday's Newsround.

0:00:18 > 0:00:19Coming up in the next five.

0:00:19 > 0:00:21This is the UK's next Prime Minister.

0:00:21 > 0:00:22She'll move into Downing Street tomorrow.

0:00:22 > 0:00:26And the monkeys who are smarter than we thought.

0:00:31 > 0:00:32First our top story this morning.

0:00:32 > 0:00:34Theresa May will become the UK's second female Prime Minister

0:00:34 > 0:00:37on Wednesday, taking charge of the country at one

0:00:37 > 0:00:39of the most stormy times in recent political history.

0:00:39 > 0:00:40But who is she?

0:00:40 > 0:00:42I've been taking a look.

0:00:42 > 0:00:47She's been described as confident, hard-working and unflappable.

0:00:47 > 0:00:49Theresa May has long been tipped as a future

0:00:49 > 0:00:52Prime Minister and yesterday, we found out that she'd get the top

0:00:52 > 0:00:55job sooner than we thought.

0:00:55 > 0:00:59We are going to give people more control over their lives

0:00:59 > 0:01:01and that's how, together, we're going to build

0:01:01 > 0:01:03a better Britain.

0:01:03 > 0:01:05But why are we getting a new Prime Minister

0:01:05 > 0:01:09in the first place?

0:01:09 > 0:01:12There was a chance for someone else to be the Prime Minister

0:01:12 > 0:01:14because the man who does the job at the moment,

0:01:14 > 0:01:18David Cameron, decided to give it up after the result of that big vote

0:01:18 > 0:01:21we had about whether we should stay in the European Union or not.

0:01:21 > 0:01:24A vicar's daughter from Oxfordshire, she went to a state school before

0:01:24 > 0:01:26going on to study geography at Oxford university.

0:01:26 > 0:01:29It's where she met her future husband, Phillip, who she's been

0:01:29 > 0:01:33married to for the last 36 years.

0:01:33 > 0:01:35The 59-year-old has been Home Secretary for the last six

0:01:35 > 0:01:39years, which is a big job in the government.

0:01:39 > 0:01:42It means she is in charge of things like police, keeping the country

0:01:42 > 0:01:44safe and immigration.

0:01:44 > 0:01:49She's got the backing of the current Prime Minister David Cameron.

0:01:49 > 0:01:51On Wednesday, I will attend the House of Commons

0:01:51 > 0:01:53for Prime Minister's Questions and then, after that,

0:01:53 > 0:01:57I expect to go to the palace and offer my resignation so we'll

0:01:57 > 0:01:59have a new Prime Minister in that building behind me

0:01:59 > 0:02:02by Wednesday evening.

0:02:02 > 0:02:06So far, Conservative MPs have rallied round their new leader.

0:02:06 > 0:02:09But rival political parties have called for another general election

0:02:09 > 0:02:13to let the British public decide who runs the country.

0:02:13 > 0:02:16Mrs May's supporters have been clear.

0:02:16 > 0:02:17There will be no election until 2020.

0:02:17 > 0:02:21For now, Theresa May is preparing to lead to the UK as the country's

0:02:21 > 0:02:31second ever female Prime Minister.

0:02:32 > 0:02:34Now if you've ever dreamed of winning gold

0:02:34 > 0:02:36at the Olympics then listen up.

0:02:36 > 0:02:38A big campaign is being launched today to find

0:02:38 > 0:02:39future stars of Team GB.

0:02:39 > 0:02:41Among the people behind it is Olympic legend

0:02:41 > 0:02:42Sir Steve Redgrave.

0:02:42 > 0:02:44He spoke to Newsround earlier.

0:02:44 > 0:02:45So, Sir Steve, welcome to Newsround.

0:02:45 > 0:02:47It's good to be here.

0:02:47 > 0:02:50The last time you won a gold medal was back in 2000 Sydney.

0:02:50 > 0:02:52Shall we take a look at that moment?

0:02:52 > 0:02:55Why not?

0:02:55 > 0:02:57COMMENTATOR: Great Britain on the line.

0:02:57 > 0:02:58Here we go.

0:02:58 > 0:03:00Great Britain get the gold medal.

0:03:00 > 0:03:02It's just incredible.

0:03:02 > 0:03:07What was it like to win that gold medal at that moment?

0:03:07 > 0:03:09Absolutely amazing, competing at five different Olympics,

0:03:09 > 0:03:18winning a Gold at each one was amazing.

0:03:18 > 0:03:21Now you've got a campaign to get the next generation at the 2020

0:03:21 > 0:03:22Olympics.

0:03:22 > 0:03:23Tell me a bit about that.

0:03:23 > 0:03:27I got involved in sport of rowing through a small comprehensive school

0:03:27 > 0:03:29I went to because, as I was an intake of new students,

0:03:29 > 0:03:32the head of the English department saw I had big hands and feet,

0:03:32 > 0:03:35and as a youngster that means you are going to grow into a big

0:03:35 > 0:03:37person and rowing suits big people.

0:03:37 > 0:03:39I launched a campaign called Sporting Giants in 2007 and that's

0:03:39 > 0:03:43been really successful and this is our biggest campaign

0:03:43 > 0:03:46to Discover Your Gold, and if anybody out there

0:03:46 > 0:03:50is interested in watching the Games this time and thinking,

0:03:50 > 0:03:53"I fancy a bit of that, I think I could win an Olympic gold

0:03:53 > 0:04:00medal," this is your opportunity.

0:04:00 > 0:04:02Hashtag Discover Your Gold, and you will be assessed

0:04:02 > 0:04:05and if you have got the potential you will be guided

0:04:05 > 0:04:06into different areas.

0:04:06 > 0:04:08There's five programs with it from Paralympics, speed, giants,

0:04:08 > 0:04:10and it could be skiing.

0:04:10 > 0:04:11You could be rowing.

0:04:11 > 0:04:12You could be a sprinter.

0:04:12 > 0:04:13Or doing watersports.

0:04:13 > 0:04:14That's brilliant.

0:04:14 > 0:04:17Thank you very much for joining us at Newsround.

0:04:17 > 0:04:20A pleasure to speak to you.

0:04:20 > 0:04:25Euro 2016 champions Portugal have returned home to a heroes welcome.

0:04:25 > 0:04:29Thousands of fans lined the streets of the capital Lisbon.

0:04:29 > 0:04:3212 years ago, Portugal hosted the Euros and famously lost

0:04:32 > 0:04:34in the final to Greece, so finally Cristiano Ronaldo

0:04:34 > 0:04:44and his team-mates could show off the trophy.

0:04:47 > 0:04:49The six-time Olympic champion is in the Jamaican team

0:04:49 > 0:04:51despite pulling out of their trials with an injury.

0:04:51 > 0:04:54He plans to prove his fitness at the Anniversary Games

0:04:54 > 0:05:01in London later this month, the scene of his 2012 triumphs.

0:05:01 > 0:05:04Capuchin monkeys like this one aren't just cute,

0:05:04 > 0:05:06they're clever too and brainier than scientists used to think.

0:05:06 > 0:05:09The primates have learnt over time how to use stone hammers as tools

0:05:09 > 0:05:12to break into cashew nuts for food.

0:05:12 > 0:05:14But researchers studying them in Brazil have now found tools

0:05:14 > 0:05:15dating back 700 years.

0:05:15 > 0:05:19Much earlier than previously thought.

0:05:19 > 0:05:23We can, for the first time, look back into the behaviour

0:05:23 > 0:05:26of monkey species.

0:05:26 > 0:05:31All our research, our ambitions to look back on the past,

0:05:31 > 0:05:34it's always been human focused and monkeys and other primates,

0:05:34 > 0:05:39we don't know much about how their tool use has involved

0:05:39 > 0:05:44in the species, so this is a window back into the past.

0:05:44 > 0:05:45That's all from me.

0:05:45 > 0:05:49Newsround's back this afternoon.

0:05:49 > 0:05:52Don't forget to check out the website for all the rest

0:05:52 > 0:05:55of the day's stories.

0:05:55 > 0:05:58Bye-bye.
