:02:51. > :02:53.That's the hottest it's been in 100 years.

:02:54. > :02:56.But last night lots of places in the North of England got

:02:59. > :03:00.And Manchester City's match against Borussia Monchengladbach

:03:01. > :03:09.Well, today some places could reach 28 degrees.

:03:10. > :03:20.Head online to let us know how you're keeping your cool.

:03:21. > :03:23.Next, scientists are drilling out samples of ice in places where it's

:03:24. > :03:26.melting and storing it in Antarctica to make sure it doesn't

:03:27. > :03:33.This team of scientists is living and working on a big piece

:03:34. > :03:36.of ice called a glacier in the Alps in France.

:03:37. > :03:37.But because of the rising temperature of the

:03:38. > :03:42.The team are taking samples of the glacier to study before it

:03:43. > :03:46.They want to rescue the information locked deep inside the ice.

:03:47. > :03:48.The glacier was formed by snow falling over many years

:03:49. > :03:54.The snowfall is made of water from the earth's atmosphere,

:03:55. > :03:57.so by studying the glacier, scientists can see what was in our

:03:58. > :04:03.Snowfall will collect all the impurities in the atmosphere,

:04:04. > :04:05.and these will be duplicated in the glacier.

:04:06. > :04:07.So layers after layers, and all this information is stored

:04:08. > :04:14.The BBC's science reporter Victoria Gill went to France

:04:15. > :04:20.to see how the team take the samples of ice.

:04:21. > :04:23.That's an ice core now coming up from about 30 metres depth.

:04:24. > :04:26.The team will cut it and they'll move it into this tent, then they'll

:04:27. > :04:29.store it in their ice cave, which is their mountain freezer.

:04:30. > :04:35.This is the beginning of a very long journey for these ice samples.

:04:36. > :04:38.They'll be stored in France for two years but then they will be

:04:39. > :04:39.taken to Antarctica, the world's biggest freezer,

:04:40. > :04:46.to be studied by scientists for many years to come.

:04:47. > :04:48.Lots of glaciers all over the world are changing and melting,

:04:49. > :04:51.but this new project means that scientists will be able

:04:52. > :04:57.to study their secrets long after they've disappeared.

:04:58. > :05:00.Sorry if you couldn't hear me before, I think we have got it all

:05:01. > :05:06.sorted now. Next one in ten types of animal,

:05:07. > :05:09.birds, insects and plant life are in danger of extinction

:05:10. > :05:11.in the UK. That's according to a new report put

:05:12. > :05:14.together by scientists and experts. They say that over half of farmland

:05:15. > :05:16.birds including the turtle dove The report says this is mainly due

:05:17. > :05:21.to how farmers work now. But farmers say the report doesn't

:05:22. > :05:24.take into account the work they have Giant cat posters have taken over

:05:25. > :05:33.a Tube station in London. They've been put up

:05:34. > :05:36.by an organisation called CATS - Citizens Advertising

:05:37. > :05:37.Takeover Service. They've put up more than 60 posters

:05:38. > :05:40.around Clapham Common Tube station. They say they've done it

:05:41. > :05:42.to provide a peaceful space That's all from me, Newsround's back

:05:43. > :05:54.here this afternoon with Ricky.
