:00:23. > :00:32.Hello everyone, Joe here live at 1700 hours on BBC One. Stick around
:00:32. > :00:36.as here's what's happening this afternoon: the New Atlas that is
:00:36. > :00:40.the size of an elephant. Ice Age 4 is out in cinemas. We
:00:41. > :00:45.chat to the creators of the hit movies.
:00:45. > :00:47.This afternoon's been big news for John Terry. He's been found not
:00:47. > :00:57.guilty of racially abusing Anton Ferdinand after a week-long court
:00:57. > :00:58.
:00:58. > :01:01.case in London. He was accused of using racially offensive language
:01:01. > :01:05.to Anton Ferdinand last October. If he'd been found guilty his career
:01:05. > :01:07.at Chelsea would have been under threat. But in the end the judge
:01:07. > :01:10.cleared him of the charges. Ricky's been outside the court this
:01:10. > :01:15.afternoon. This case boils down to an incident which happened in
:01:15. > :01:19.October last year during a Premier League match between Chelsea and
:01:19. > :01:24.Queen's Park Rangers. Queens Park Rangers were winning 1-0 and
:01:24. > :01:31.Chelsea were down to nine men. Ferdinand and John Terry exchanged
:01:31. > :01:37.insults. Ferdinand accused Terry of using racist remarks towards him.
:01:37. > :01:43.John Terry denied this. I am joined by BBC Radio 1 Newsbeat reported
:01:43. > :01:50.Jonathan Blake. What was it like inside the courtroom? It was very
:01:50. > :01:53.busy, it was packed. As the judge read out the verdict, John Terry
:01:53. > :01:58.just looked straight ahead and left the court very quickly when the
:01:58. > :02:03.judge said he was not guilty. As he did that, there was cheers from the
:02:03. > :02:08.public gallery. This has been hanging over John Terry for more
:02:08. > :02:13.than eight months, what will happen next? It has had an effect on his
:02:13. > :02:17.career, because he has lost the England captaincy. He has had to
:02:17. > :02:27.stand up and defend himself and admitted using those words on the
:02:27. > :02:32.
:02:32. > :02:35.pitch, but not as an insult. But he could face an FA investigation.
:02:35. > :02:45.looks like Rangers could start season in the Scottish Third
:02:45. > :02:46.
:02:46. > :02:49.Division. Today, clubs in Scotland voted that they should start next
:02:49. > :02:52.season there because they broke the rules. That means instead of here,
:02:52. > :02:55.They'll start next season all the way down here. It's all happening
:02:55. > :02:57.because they got themselves into massive financial problems. It
:02:57. > :03:00.means they'll be playing clubs like Montrose, Peterhead and Stranraer
:03:00. > :03:03.who usually have about 400 people watching. It'll now take Rangers at
:03:03. > :03:06.least three years to get back into Scottish football's elite.
:03:06. > :03:10.So the clubs decided what happened to Rangers but it was a tough
:03:10. > :03:12.decision. TV companies pay the top league a lot of money to show
:03:13. > :03:16.football games. Without Rangers, they won't pay as much. Rangers
:03:16. > :03:19.also have a lot of fans and clubs make money from selling tickets to
:03:19. > :03:23.their matches. But because they broke the rules, the other clubs
:03:23. > :03:26.wanted to teach them a lesson. Next to Syria and the United
:03:26. > :03:29.Nations has said they're "shocked and appalled" at reports of a
:03:29. > :03:39.deadly attack on a village in the north of the country which is
:03:39. > :03:40.
:03:40. > :03:44.thought to have killed around 200 Next next to Belfast. There was a
:03:44. > :03:47.march in the Catholic area of the city by Protestants. Bricks and
:03:48. > :03:54.missiles were thrown at police. Marchers like this happen this time
:03:54. > :03:58.every year. If you want to know about the
:03:58. > :04:06.history behind the marches in Northern Ireland, had to our
:04:06. > :04:14.website. The world's biggest applause as
:04:14. > :04:19.gone on show at the British Library. It is 6 ft tall by 9 ft wide. It is
:04:19. > :04:25.massive. -- the world's biggest atlas.
:04:25. > :04:30.This is a library book and it has to be carried on a trolley. You
:04:30. > :04:35.need six people to lift it up. An atlas is a book of maps and this
:04:35. > :04:42.one is the biggest ever made. Each page is tallest than most grown-ups
:04:42. > :04:45.and open out it is wider than an elephant. The man turning the pages
:04:45. > :04:51.is Gordon. He made the book because he says computer maps are not big
:04:51. > :04:57.enough. He wants to show the world what the the view is like from
:04:57. > :05:05.space. Anybody could see this if we were astronauts in a spaceship.
:05:05. > :05:09.Given most of us won't be an astronaut, travelling the world on
:05:09. > :05:13.a spacecraft, this is about as close as you get. To make sure it
:05:13. > :05:16.is the biggest, the people from the Guinness Book of Records came to
:05:17. > :05:26.measure it. Imagine trying to fit that in your
:05:27. > :05:30.
:05:30. > :05:32.school bag. More good news for Britain's
:05:32. > :05:36.cyclists this afternoon. This man, Bradley Wiggins, is still in
:05:36. > :05:39.overall lead of the Tour de France after today's 12th stage. But it
:05:39. > :05:42.was another Brit, David Millar who won today's race. Wiggins though is
:05:42. > :05:43.still the leader of the competition and that means he'll get to keep
:05:43. > :05:46.wearing the snazzy yellow jersey too.
:05:46. > :05:50.Next to a story with a woolly mammoth, a hyperactive squirrel and
:05:50. > :05:53.boy band, The Wanted. Ice Age 4 is in cinemas today in England and
:05:53. > :05:56.Wales, but it's already out in Scotland and Northern Ireland. The
:05:56. > :06:06.movie series has made a fortune, but as I found out it all starts
:06:06. > :06:06.
:06:06. > :06:15.with a doodle. Ice Age, for 10 years of they have
:06:15. > :06:19.been packing out cinemas. Continental drift is their 4th
:06:19. > :06:24.adventure and the usual characters are joined by some new ones on and
:06:24. > :06:31.off the screen. When the directors hit a problem, they drafted in the
:06:31. > :06:34.wanted to get a key part of the movie rights. We needed something
:06:34. > :06:41.musical that speaks to a contemporary audience. Every time
:06:41. > :06:46.we tried to make our own version, it did not sound right. As an
:06:46. > :06:52.animated film it is done on computers, but like the Acorn, big
:06:52. > :06:57.things have small beginnings. It starts with a pen and paper. What
:06:57. > :07:02.becomes important as you are drawing a character is what his
:07:02. > :07:08.attitude is an expression. Making a film like this involves a lot of
:07:08. > :07:14.drawing. They have fun creating characters for this one. We wanted
:07:14. > :07:20.to see the audience to see the characters as pirates. We groomed
:07:20. > :07:26.his hair slightly to make it look like a pirate hat. Surrender your
:07:26. > :07:31.ship or face my fury. It takes years to make an animated film like
:07:31. > :07:36.this, but they are big business. The films have made more than �1
:07:36. > :07:39.billion worldwide, and as long as artists keep coming up with new
:07:39. > :07:42.ideas, they could be around for another decade.
:07:42. > :07:45.There are some brilliant tips on how to draw cartoon characters like
:07:46. > :07:55.Sid and Scrat over on the Newsround website. While you're there check
:07:56. > :08:00.
:08:00. > :08:04.out my review of the film. These queues at a new arrivals,
:08:04. > :08:09.sandpipers are the first to hatch in the UK. They are one of the
:08:09. > :08:12.rarest breed of birds with only 200 left in the wild. The eggs came
:08:12. > :08:15.from Russia as part of a breeding programme.
:08:15. > :08:18.Just a quick reminder to tune in to Match of the Day Kickabout tomorrow
:08:18. > :08:22.morning. This week it's all about the history of the beautiful game
:08:22. > :08:28.and it's fair to say one thing has come a long way - the rules.
:08:28. > :08:32.The rules of football. These are fine fellows are having a jolly
:08:32. > :08:39.good kickabout. At a time when people made up their own rules,
:08:39. > :08:46.games could last up to two hours. Rather you than me. 1891, the
