Hi, I'm Martin with your morning Newsround. On today's show: A rare | :00:00. | :00:14. | |
total eclipse of the moon. How licking rocks can help discover | :00:15. | :00:21. | |
dinosaurs. First up - if you're planning on | :00:22. | :00:25. | |
going to the beach this Easter I have some good news for you. A | :00:26. | :00:29. | |
record number of UK beaches have received the top water quality award | :00:30. | :00:32. | |
from the Marine Conservation Trust, meaning more of our coastline is | :00:33. | :00:35. | |
cleaner than ever. The BBC's Tim Muffett put down his bucket and | :00:36. | :00:39. | |
spade for a minute to send us this report. | :00:40. | :00:42. | |
It is a beautiful morning near Gosport in Hampshire, where the | :00:43. | :00:44. | |
water quality from this beach has been classed as excellent. Every | :00:45. | :00:50. | |
year scientists test the quality of the water off our beaches and more | :00:51. | :00:53. | |
than ever have reached the top rating. Around three quarters of the | :00:54. | :01:07. | |
700 that were tested. Richard, you are from the Marine Conservation | :01:08. | :01:13. | |
Society. Why the improvement? It seems we had a really good summer | :01:14. | :01:18. | |
and there was hardly any rainfall so the beaches were not affected by | :01:19. | :01:20. | |
floods which cause the sewers to overflow and go into the sea. The | :01:21. | :01:24. | |
winter was very wet, will that not have made the pollution worse? It | :01:25. | :01:29. | |
would have done at the time. Around the coast, the beaches are not | :01:30. | :01:33. | |
tested at that time of year. I would imagine it would have been pretty | :01:34. | :01:37. | |
bad at around the time of the floods. What are the dangers of | :01:38. | :01:44. | |
dirty water? You can pick up some nasty bugs, ear, nose and throat | :01:45. | :01:48. | |
infections, and things that can be harmful to you. It is important for | :01:49. | :01:52. | |
people to swim in the sea, to play in the sea that you don't have those | :01:53. | :01:56. | |
bugs to pick up. Some beaches failed to reach the minimum standard. It is | :01:57. | :02:03. | |
not just down to the weather. Water companies and local authorities are | :02:04. | :02:06. | |
being encouraged to make sure sewage does not flow into the sea. But it | :02:07. | :02:11. | |
is good news when it comes to the quality of the water. | :02:12. | :02:18. | |
A memorial service will be held at Liverpool's football ground later to | :02:19. | :02:20. | |
mark the 25th Anniversary of the Hillsborough disaster. The tragedy | :02:21. | :02:23. | |
happened in 1989 when 96 Liverpool fans died in a crush at an FA Cup | :02:24. | :02:27. | |
semifinal. Thousands of people are expected to observe a minute's | :02:28. | :02:30. | |
silence at seven minutes past three this afternoon, the time the game | :02:31. | :02:32. | |
was stopped. Next, some of you might know from | :02:33. | :02:36. | |
moving house how difficult it can be to transport all your stuff from one | :02:37. | :02:41. | |
place to another. Well spare a thought for engineers in America who | :02:42. | :02:44. | |
had to transport the most complete skeleton of a T-Rex ever discovered, | :02:45. | :02:47. | |
over 2,000 miles from one side of the country to another. | :02:48. | :02:56. | |
Roardiculous! In a basement at this museum in the | :02:57. | :03:03. | |
Rockies, one of the most delicate packing jobs is underway. The | :03:04. | :03:11. | |
66-year-old remains of the T-Rex, bound for the Natural History Museum | :03:12. | :03:18. | |
in Washington. This is a once-in-a-lifetime moment to stand | :03:19. | :03:24. | |
here and help pack up a T-Rex and packet across the country. Then put | :03:25. | :03:31. | |
that on display. Most museums only get one shot at that if they are | :03:32. | :03:36. | |
lucky. This is one of the most examined and documented dinosaurs in | :03:37. | :03:40. | |
the world. But the science of discovering can be basic. Montana is | :03:41. | :03:49. | |
dinosaur country. But how do scientists know they have found a | :03:50. | :03:54. | |
dinosaur? The bone likes to hold on to your tongue. Put your tongue on | :03:55. | :04:01. | |
to the bone. Its stock! Put your tongue on the rock for a negative | :04:02. | :04:10. | |
test. It did not stick. The bones are transported in a climate | :04:11. | :04:13. | |
controlled a truck. It has added security systems and the journey | :04:14. | :04:17. | |
across the US is under constant satellite surveillance. This gives a | :04:18. | :04:24. | |
good idea of how it will look when it is fully assembled. The first | :04:25. | :04:30. | |
time in 66 million years the nation's T-Rex will stand on its own | :04:31. | :04:37. | |
two feet. People across the Atlantic are | :04:38. | :04:40. | |
enjoying a rare total lunar eclipse right now. These NASA pictures show | :04:41. | :04:44. | |
what's been happening. The moon has been moving into the Earth's shadow | :04:45. | :04:48. | |
this morning, covering it in full darkness. The moon will be fully | :04:49. | :04:52. | |
eclipsed for more than an hour - during which it'll have a red glow. | :04:53. | :04:55. | |
Just time for me to tell you to head over to the CBBC website because | :04:56. | :04:59. | |
from 12:30 today Leah and I will be answering your questions live. So | :05:00. | :05:02. | |
head online and ask us | :05:03. | :05:03. |
