Hey guys, Sonali and Leah here with the run-down of everything you need | :00:20. | :00:26. | |
to know on Newsround today. Lots to pack in including a front row view | :00:26. | :00:28. | |
of one of the most dangerous jobs around. | :00:28. | :00:38. | |
:00:38. | :00:40. | ||
And find out just what's got into First, Charlie and the Chocolate | :00:40. | :00:44. | |
Factory, the BFG and Matilda. Just some of the brilliant books written | :00:44. | :00:49. | |
by Roald Dahl, famous all around the world. He wrote them all in a | :00:49. | :00:53. | |
tiny hut at the bottom of his garden. But it's in danger of being | :00:53. | :01:03. | |
:01:03. | :01:08. | ||
lost forever unless �500,000 can be Everyone has a favourite Roald Dahl | :01:09. | :01:11. | |
story, mine was the BFG and all these wonderful characters were | :01:11. | :01:21. | |
:01:21. | :01:23. | ||
created here in this shed. So this is the small space where he would | :01:23. | :01:27. | |
come and work. He would sit in this chair and scribble down his ideas | :01:27. | :01:32. | |
and even his family knew when he was working here, he was not to be | :01:33. | :01:41. | |
disturbed. He wanted to keep the shed so secretive. Everyone in the | :01:41. | :01:45. | |
shed has been left as it was when he was alive. Things like family | :01:45. | :01:49. | |
photos, pencils and even his glasses. | :01:49. | :01:53. | |
But it is starting to fall apart and a rescue plan has been launched | :01:53. | :02:00. | |
to save it. These four walls will be down and rebuilt. It means that | :02:00. | :02:04. | |
everyone will be able to see inside, but it is not an easy task. What we | :02:04. | :02:08. | |
need to do, we need to take photographs of everything, work out | :02:08. | :02:11. | |
where they are. Measure the distances between things and then | :02:11. | :02:16. | |
we need to pack everything up carefully. The stuff that's damaged | :02:16. | :02:19. | |
by insects is exciting because we wrap it up and then we take it to | :02:19. | :02:23. | |
the deep freeze and we put it in the freezer and we kill the pests. | :02:23. | :02:33. | |

It is more than 50 years since Since Rahl Dail started writing | :02:37. | :02:45. | |
stories. We can't stop talking about David | :02:45. | :02:48. | |
Walliams and his charity swim along the Thames. | :02:48. | :02:52. | |
Yes, after battling against raw sewage and stomach bugs for eight | :02:52. | :02:57. | |
days, he arrived in Westminster Bridge after 6pm Last Night. The | :02:57. | :03:05. | |
comedian has raised over �1 million for Sport Relief. After swimming | :03:05. | :03:10. | |
for so long, he had enough of water. A bath is the only water I want to | :03:10. | :03:16. | |
see for a highly! -- while! | :03:16. | :03:21. | |
To some of the of the bravest people around. The British troops | :03:21. | :03:24. | |
who diffuse bombs. For the first time we have allowed a close-up | :03:24. | :03:29. | |
look at what life is like for the specialist soldiers who try to find | :03:29. | :03:35. | |
It is one of the most dangerous jobs in the world. High threat | :03:35. | :03:41. | |
operators from the Army's Royal logistic Corp dismantling a deadly | :03:41. | :03:51. | |
:03:51. | :03:53. | ||
bomb. It is a terrifying task. | :03:53. | :03:59. | |
The intense fear of standing on one of these devices is incredibly | :03:59. | :04:03. | |
strong and to be able to understand, I think, you kind of need to be | :04:03. | :04:08. | |
there. The Taliban make these bombs and bury them, often by the | :04:08. | :04:11. | |
roadside to try and hurt or kill British soldiers operating in | :04:12. | :04:15. | |
Afghanistan. The job for this specialist unit is to fin the | :04:15. | :04:25. | |
:04:25. | :04:27. | ||
devices and take them apart so that other troops can travel safely. | :04:27. | :04:30. | |
It is, of course, incredibly dangerous. There were seven members | :04:30. | :04:35. | |
of this team when they started, but one man was killed and two have | :04:35. | :04:40. | |
been badly injured. I think I might have something. | :04:40. | :04:44. | |
They have dismantled over 1,000 bombs in the last year, but while | :04:44. | :04:49. | |
the war in Afghanistan continues, they know there will always be more | :04:49. | :04:58. | |
High winds and heavy rain have been causing problems in parts of the UK. | :04:58. | :05:02. | |
Hundreds of homes lost power and there have been flood warnings in | :05:02. | :05:12. | |

Scotland and Wales. Steve Back shaw's Deadly 60 has | :05:13. | :05:21. | |
been given a makeover for a programme called Deadly 360. I | :05:21. | :05:27. | |
managed to catch up with him and ask some of your questions. | :05:27. | :05:31. | |
This is the first time in my life that I've touched a lion. | :05:31. | :05:36. | |
Molly, who is eight and from London says, "Do you ever get worried when | :05:36. | :05:40. | |
you're a near an animal that could harm you?". What is really, really | :05:40. | :05:44. | |
important is that you don't actually show any of your emotions | :05:44. | :05:50. | |
to animals because they pick up on them instantly. | :05:50. | :05:56. | |
That is just the most phenomenon amount of power. | :05:56. | :06:00. | |
I keep any emotions unwraps. were comb when you were working | :06:00. | :06:10. | |
:06:10. | :06:14. | ||
with wolves? I I was cool. Wolves are my favourite animal in the | :06:14. | :06:22. | |
whole world. Shall I mimic a wolf? Yes, please. | :06:22. | :06:26. | |
If you do that, in the wild and there are wild wolves nearby, they | :06:26. | :06:31. | |
will respond. OK, let's pick Eleanor, she wants | :06:31. | :06:35. | |
to know if you could be any animal, what would that be? Well, I would | :06:35. | :06:38. | |
say I would be a bird. I think it is a very human desire to want to | :06:38. | :06:46. | |
be able to fly. Matilda, this is a really good one, | :06:46. | :06:54. | |
"Dear Steve, I want to be a zoololgist -- zoo algist when I'm | :06:54. | :07:02. | |
older, but I'm allergic to animals.". She could study | :07:02. | :07:07. | |
amphibians and reptiles. My niece wants to know why | :07:07. | :07:10. | |
sometimes you are barefoot when you are out exploring? I find quite | :07:11. | :07:13. | |
often you can be more quiet and more subtle when you are moving | :07:13. | :07:18. | |
around if you don't have great, big, clod hopping boots on. It is | :07:18. | :07:22. | |
sometimes a very good way of getting around and not spooking the | :07:22. | :07:28. | |
wildlife around you. You can catch Steve on Deadly 360 | :07:28. | :07:32. | |
on Thursday at 5.15pm on the CBBC Channel. | :07:32. | :07:40. | |
50 new planets have been discovered by astronomers. They are believed | :07:40. | :07:45. | |
to be up to ten times bigger than our planets, but don't weigh as | :07:45. | :07:50. |
