Hi, I'm Leah, live in Rio with a special World Cup Newsround. | :00:00. | :00:12. | |
So it's begun, the World Cup kicked off with a bang last night. | :00:13. | :00:16. | |
There was a spectacular opening ceremony and host nation Brazil | :00:17. | :00:20. | |
claimed a 3-1 victory over Croatia in the opening match. | :00:21. | :00:35. | |
I was watching that match on the beach with 20,000 others, it was | :00:36. | :00:38. | |
electric. The team have already arrived | :00:39. | :00:39. | |
in Manaus ahead of their first BBC Sport reporter Andy | :00:40. | :00:44. | |
Swiss sent us this report. Welcome to Manaus, it is incredibly | :00:45. | :00:55. | |
hot and incredibly sticky. Really tough conditions for England players | :00:56. | :00:59. | |
when they face Italy tomorrow. Behind me is the stadium, the | :01:00. | :01:04. | |
England players will be training inside their this afternoon. They | :01:05. | :01:07. | |
will get a first look at the pitch, which has come in for some heavy | :01:08. | :01:12. | |
criticism, it is not in good condition, lots of brown streaks | :01:13. | :01:14. | |
across the middle. The ground staff have been trying to improve it, they | :01:15. | :01:20. | |
have been painting the brown bits green to make it look better, it'll | :01:21. | :01:23. | |
be interesting see what the players make of that. Danny Welbeck has been | :01:24. | :01:29. | |
struggling with a thigh injury, if he is not fit it could open the door | :01:30. | :01:35. | |
for Raheem Sterling. They will get plenty of support, despite this | :01:36. | :01:40. | |
being an isolated place. Lots of England fans have made the journey. | :01:41. | :01:45. | |
Italy are tough opponents, they beat England at the European | :01:46. | :01:49. | |
Championships two years ago. The England fans are confident that the | :01:50. | :01:50. | |
journey will be worth it. Let's take a closer look at Manaus, | :01:51. | :01:55. | |
where England will play tomorrow. We already know it's going to | :01:56. | :01:58. | |
be really hot and sticky. That's because it's home to | :01:59. | :02:01. | |
the largest tropical rainforest It's packed with some | :02:02. | :02:03. | |
of the world's rarest plants and animals but people there are worried | :02:04. | :02:08. | |
the forest is under threat because The Amazon. The largest tropical | :02:09. | :02:24. | |
rainforest on earth. Feeding the mightiest river in the world. It is | :02:25. | :02:30. | |
estimated to be home to up to 3 million different species, there is | :02:31. | :02:34. | |
nowhere else like it on the planet. But for years, chopping down trees | :02:35. | :02:38. | |
in the Amazon, a process called deforestation, has made headlines | :02:39. | :02:45. | |
around the world. From 1995 to 2005, an area of forest the size of Wales | :02:46. | :02:52. | |
was cut down every year. We are destroying plants and habitats of | :02:53. | :02:56. | |
animals, which might have nowhere to go, which might run the risk of | :02:57. | :03:01. | |
becoming extinct. It is not that people don't value the forest, it is | :03:02. | :03:06. | |
just people live in that area. These people need to find something that | :03:07. | :03:14. | |
they can make money out of. Over the last decade the Brazilian government | :03:15. | :03:18. | |
have done a lot to control the rate of deforestation. Huge protected | :03:19. | :03:23. | |
areas have been created, farming is monitored and a police force patrols | :03:24. | :03:26. | |
the skies looking for illegal logging. The message is spreading, | :03:27. | :03:32. | |
these kids are learning about the importance of the Amazon through | :03:33. | :03:35. | |
their own conservation work and getting their hands dirty. What do | :03:36. | :03:42. | |
you enjoy most about these classes? TRANSLATION: I can learn about | :03:43. | :03:46. | |
nature and the animals and how to create a safer and more beautiful | :03:47. | :03:52. | |
place to live. We have done a deforestation project to learn how | :03:53. | :03:55. | |
important it is for mankind not to destroy the future of the Amazon and | :03:56. | :04:01. | |
to leave it to our children. The Brazilian government has been | :04:02. | :04:04. | |
praised for slowing the rate of deforestation, but last year, for | :04:05. | :04:08. | |
the first time in five years, has a rise, raising the question once | :04:09. | :04:14. | |
again offered the greatest ecosystem on the planet can be protected -- | :04:15. | :04:19. | |
for the first time in five years there has been a rise. | :04:20. | :04:22. | |
The time in Manaus is five hours behind | :04:23. | :04:24. | |
the UK so England's match tomorrow will be on at a super-late 11:00pm | :04:25. | :04:27. | |
You've been telling us whether you'll be having a late night. | :04:28. | :04:31. | |
Chloe in Leicester says, "I'm definitely staying up to watch | :04:32. | :04:36. | |
it, even though it's well past my bedtime! | :04:37. | :04:43. | |
If you really want to know who's going to win England's big game this | :04:44. | :04:47. | |
weekend, don't bother listening to any footy | :04:48. | :04:50. | |
you just need Ronaldo, the Newsround parrot, to predict who will win. | :04:51. | :04:56. | |
So let's have a look and see who his top tip is for tomorrow's match. | :04:57. | :05:25. | |
Oh, dear. I don't think we are going to be best of friends. The party has | :05:26. | :05:41. | |
started up again, people are watching a band on the beach, we are | :05:42. | :05:46. | |
enjoying the light breeze and the sunshine is poking out from the | :05:47. | :05:50. | |
skies. I will be watching England against Italy and bringing you the | :05:51. | :05:54. | |
results over the weekend. If you are loving the World Cup, head to the | :05:55. | :05:58. | |
