Old enemies England and Scotland prepare to do battle at Wembley.

the rocky rooftop retreat in China. This is Newsround!

:00:24.:00:28.

First, to a crisis in Egypt, where a state of emergency has been

:00:28.:00:32.

declared. Reports say at least 95 people have been killed and hundreds

:00:32.:00:36.

more injured in the capital after security forces moved in to clear

:00:36.:00:40.

two protest camps. The demonstrators have been out on the streets for

:00:40.:00:43.

weeks, calling for the former president, Mohammed Morsi, to be put

:00:43.:00:47.

back in power. I've been following the situation.

:00:47.:00:50.

It is six weeks since Egypt's former president, Mohammed Morsi from the

:00:50.:00:53.

Muslim Brotherhood party, was removed from power by the army.

:00:53.:00:57.

Since then, his supporters have been camped out, demanding that he be put

:00:57.:01:03.

back in charge. For days, the Egyptian army has been threatening

:01:03.:01:06.

to clear the two protest camps in the capital, Cairo, Rabaa al-Adawiya

:01:06.:01:10.

mosque in the east and Nadha Square in the west. This morning, armoured

:01:10.:01:18.

tanks moved in. Tear gas has been used to try and break up the camps

:01:18.:01:21.

and gunshots have been heard. The security forces have said they

:01:21.:01:24.

wanted to do things peacefully but there are reports that many people

:01:24.:01:27.

have been killed or injured. The government says one of the camps,

:01:27.:01:36.

Nadha Square, has now been cleared. You can still hear explosions, some

:01:36.:01:39.

of those are explosions. Some of those are tear gas. We felt the

:01:40.:01:42.

sting of tear gas. We're also hearing intermittent and

:01:42.:01:51.

occasionally frequent live firing it is very clear that these security

:01:51.:01:56.

forces are still trying to finish the raid. There are already reports

:01:56.:02:00.

of Morsi supporters out protesting in other cities in Egypt and there's

:02:00.:02:07.

no sign of either side backing down. Back at home, Wembley Stadium is set

:02:07.:02:10.

to host a huge football match between England and Scotland

:02:10.:02:17.

tonight. Despite being next door neighbours, it's the first time

:02:17.:02:20.

these two sides have met in 14 years. Tonight's game may be a

:02:20.:02:24.

friendly, but Joe has the tale of an age-old rivalry! The English -

:02:24.:02:27.

Scottish rivalry goes back a long way. From battlefields to football

:02:27.:02:34.

pitches. And tonight at Wembley, the two countries' football teams meet

:02:34.:02:43.

for the first time in 14 years. on, England axe back come on,

:02:44.:02:49.

Scotland. All right, so it's obvious who these guys want to win, but

:02:49.:02:52.

tonight's match is only a friendly, so what's the big deal? This is the

:02:52.:02:55.

111th meeting between the old enemies. In fact, they played

:02:55.:02:58.

football's first-ever international back in 1872. Since then, there's

:02:58.:03:00.

been 12-goal thrillers. Broken crossbars. And Paul Gascoigne's

:03:00.:03:06.

spectacular goal at Euro '96. Until 1989, the teams met every year, but

:03:06.:03:09.

they haven't met since 1999. In the current world rankings, England fell

:03:09.:03:13.

to 15th whilst Scotland rose to 50th, so both teams will be out to

:03:13.:03:21.

prove a point. This is a good test for us and going into those

:03:21.:03:25.

important games in a few weeks, it is important we have confidence on

:03:25.:03:30.

the back of a good performance. players and the fans and the media,

:03:30.:03:34.

they all want to see this, even people who are not football fans,

:03:34.:03:39.

they are interested. But what about the fans? England have got a very

:03:39.:03:44.

good chance of winning but hopefully Scotland can win! England might win

:03:44.:03:49.

by a couple of goals. England are not using their players well. I

:03:49.:03:53.

think Scotland are the better team. Wayne Rooney will get loads of

:03:53.:03:59.

girls. -- goals. So there'll be no trophy or points at stake, but when

:03:59.:04:04.

it comes to this age-old rivalry, there's plenty of pride to play for.

:04:04.:04:07.

Online, we've been asking who you'll be cheering on tonight. Hafizur got

:04:07.:04:11.

in touch to say: "I want England to win because I love Rooney." But

:04:11.:04:13.

Callum thinks Scotland will win easily against England. "Go

:04:13.:04:16.

Scotland", he says! Saskia doesn't mind who wins, although she'll

:04:16.:04:19.

probably support Scotland because she's half Scottish and only an

:04:19.:04:22.

eighth English. Next, experts are warning of invading armies of ants

:04:22.:04:26.

from overseas. Scientists have found Argentine ants and fire ants are

:04:26.:04:30.

stowing away in shipments of soil, plants and food bound for Europe.

:04:30.:04:34.

They reckon the aggressive ants pose a threat to our wildlife. Now, check

:04:34.:04:37.

out this amazing top floor flat in Beijing, China. It took the owner

:04:37.:04:41.

six years of carting rubble, trees and bushes up 26 floors to turn his

:04:41.:04:44.

apartment into this rocky retreat. But he didn't ask permission first
