Hello. You're live with Newsround this Tuesday afternoon. I'm Leah | :00:00. | :00:16. | |
with some of this on the way. Find out why these children have no | :00:17. | :00:19. | |
problem with going into the sea. And the rabbits hopping for victory. | :00:20. | :00:27. | |
This is Newsround. But first to Liverpool where a | :00:28. | :00:30. | |
special memorial service has just finished at Anfield, Liverpool's | :00:31. | :00:36. | |
football ground. It was to mark 25 years since a disaster in which 96 | :00:37. | :00:39. | |
Liverpool fans, who had gone to watch a match, lost their lives. The | :00:40. | :00:43. | |
tragedy became known as the Hillsborough disaster. The families | :00:44. | :00:46. | |
of the people who died say they're still fighting to find out what | :00:47. | :00:48. | |
really happened that day. Here's Martin. Liverpool captain Steven | :00:49. | :00:56. | |
Gerrard overcome with emotion after Sunday's win over Manchester City. | :00:57. | :01:01. | |
He says it wasn't just down to his team taking a big step towards the | :01:02. | :01:06. | |
Premier League title. It was also because of today's 25th anniversary | :01:07. | :01:09. | |
of the Hillsborough disaster. His 10-year-old cousin was one of the | :01:10. | :01:19. | |
people who died that day. On April 15, 1989, 96 Liverpool fans lost | :01:20. | :01:22. | |
their lives after part of a stadium got overcrowded during an FA Cup | :01:23. | :01:25. | |
semifinal. It happened at Hillsborough in Sheffield. Back | :01:26. | :01:29. | |
then, there were barriers at the front to keep fans off the pitch. | :01:30. | :01:32. | |
But this meant that many fans couldn't escape. 25 years on, | :01:33. | :01:36. | |
families are still fighting to get answers to questions about how this | :01:37. | :01:42. | |
tragedy happened. Investigations are still going on today, as the | :01:43. | :01:45. | |
families say they want to get justice for their loved ones. The | :01:46. | :01:49. | |
anniversary is a difficult day for them. It is like going to a funeral | :01:50. | :01:58. | |
every year. You have the heartache that is their most of the time but | :01:59. | :02:02. | |
it seems worse on the anniversary. The disaster had a major impact on | :02:03. | :02:06. | |
the safety of football grounds. Standing isn't allowed in big | :02:07. | :02:09. | |
stadiums any more and barriers and fences have been removed. This was | :02:10. | :02:12. | |
all done in the hope that a tragedy like Hillsborough never happens | :02:13. | :02:17. | |
again. Next if you're brave enough to take | :02:18. | :02:21. | |
a dip in the sea this Easter, we've got some good news. A record number | :02:22. | :02:25. | |
of UK beaches have achieved a top water quality award. It means more | :02:26. | :02:29. | |
of our beaches are cleaner than they were last year. Ricky's spent the | :02:30. | :02:33. | |
day on Formby beach in Merseyside to find out more. | :02:34. | :02:40. | |
Sometimes I love to jump over the waves. I get to go in the sea. I go | :02:41. | :02:47. | |
on the sand dunes. But it is freezing. There's nothing quite like | :02:48. | :02:53. | |
a relaxing day by the coast, especially when the weather is this | :02:54. | :03:06. | |
good. I am informed beware the beach has been given an excellent quality | :03:07. | :03:11. | |
rating. Every Summer, between May and September The Marine | :03:12. | :03:14. | |
Conservation Society test the quality of the water by taking a | :03:15. | :03:17. | |
series of samples. They will come out with a plastic bottle and take | :03:18. | :03:21. | |
samples and put it in the van and drive off to the lab. They say 548 | :03:22. | :03:30. | |
out of 734 UK beaches reached the top standard for water quality | :03:31. | :03:32. | |
including beaches in Cornwall, Pembrokeshire in Wales and The | :03:33. | :03:35. | |
highlands in Scotland. And a lot of the improvements are down to the | :03:36. | :03:38. | |
weather. When you get sunshine, the UV berms of bacteria in the sea and | :03:39. | :03:42. | |
it helps and with less rain you get less water running off the land and | :03:43. | :03:46. | |
washing pollutants into the sea. Heavy rainfall can contaminate the | :03:47. | :03:49. | |
sea. Many sewers carry both human waste and rain water and if they | :03:50. | :03:53. | |
become overloaded after a heavy downpour some of that dirty water | :03:54. | :03:56. | |
can overspill into rivers and the sea. The results were taken last | :03:57. | :04:06. | |
summer. How do we know our beaches are still keen? Checked the website. | :04:07. | :04:13. | |
The Marine conservation Society will continue to put pressure on those | :04:14. | :04:18. | |
who look after the water to make sure the sea is less polluted, so | :04:19. | :04:26. | |
that we can enjoy days like this. Now while most of you were still in | :04:27. | :04:30. | |
bed this morning people in America got to witness this rare sight The | :04:31. | :04:33. | |
moon changed colour from orange to red in a total lunar eclipse and it | :04:34. | :04:37. | |
lasted for about three hours. The spectacular sight happens when the | :04:38. | :04:40. | |
earth's shadow falls across the moon and because of the change in colour | :04:41. | :04:43. | |
some people call this unusual sight the blood moon. | :04:44. | :04:47. | |
And we couldn't leave without a mention of the bunny hopping | :04:48. | :04:50. | |
competition in the Czech Republic. Pet owners led their rabbits around | :04:51. | :04:53. | |
the course which organisers say was inspired by horse jumping. The race | :04:54. | :04:56. | |
ended early though because a hail storm swept through the city of | :04:57. | :04:59. | |
Prague where the race was being held. | :05:00. | :05:03. | |
That's all for now but join me at 6:50pm to find | :05:04. | :05:04. |
