Hi, I'm Whitney.

It's Wednesday, and this is what's coming up on Newsround.

Check out the Samba street cleaner.

And stay tuned to find out what happens next...

First up, to the biggest and most powerful wind

turbines on the planet, which have just been

opened in Liverpool Bay.

They're taller than two Big Ben towers.

Their blades are as long as a queue of nine double-decker buses.

And there are 32 of them ready to go in Liverpool Bay.

This wind farm, called Burbo Bank Extension,

covers 40 square kilometres in the Irish Sea, 12 kilometres off

the coast of Liverpool.

Wind turbines are hardly new.

You can see them in lots of places in the UK,

inland and out at sea, turning in the wind

to make electricity.

But this is the first place in the world where turbines this

big have been built.

Being so big makes these turbines really powerful.

Every time the blades make a full circle they make enough electricity

to run a whole UK home for more than a day.

Altogether, the turbines at the Burbo Bank Extension

are expected to power more than 230,000 homes,

more than enough for the city of Liverpool.

And we might see more mega-farms like these in the future.

Next, look at this.

That's the explosion from a bomb left over from the Second World War,

which was found on a building site in Birmingham.

Don't worry, it was a controlled explosion carried out

by the police, to make it safe.

Homes nearby were evacuated to make sure that no-one was hurt.

Now, two years ago an earthquake hit the country of Nepal in South Asia.

It had a devastating affect on the country and its people.

But Hayley's been finding out how people there are getting on today.

Two years ago, two huge earthquakes hit Nepal,

a country in South Asia famous for having some of the biggest

mountains in the world, including Mount Everest.

The earthquake caused massive amounts of devastation to the area.

Nearly 9,000 people lost their lives.

Buildings were destroyed, including hundreds of homes and schools.

TRANSLATION: I pulled my mother and took her to the road

and as soon as I had done that, our house collapsed behind us.

It caused food and water shortages across the region.

All in all, eight million people were affected -

roughly a quarter of the country's population, including children.

TRANSLATION: After the earthquake, children were highly vulnerable.

They were employed as labourers and had stopped coming to school.

Two years have now passed and life is slowly getting back to normal.

People have running water again.

They are now able to farm again.

People have access to health care and kids are back at school,

thanks to the aid of organisations including World Vision, who helped

people like this headmaster.

TRANSLATION: One of the buildings was entirely destroyed and the wall

structures of the concrete buildings suffered damages.

World Vision supported us by refitting the building

and building toilets for male and female students.

With the help of these aid organisations, it's hoped that this

beautiful country can find its feet again and move on from

this terrible tragedy.

Thanks Hayley.

Next, I think our mate Ore Oduba may have competition for his Strictly

crown from this guy.

He's called Gari Sorriso and his Samba moves are all part

of Dia do Garis, which means Day of the Street Cleaners.

Held on the 16th May each year in Rio De Janero in Brazil.

There are 15,000 street cleaners in the city and they celebrate

their day with music, singing and plenty of Samba dancing.

Definitely my kind of thing.

Now, take a look a look at this.

Now, take a look at this.

Yep, those are tortoises, they're not dancing but they are

definitely wriggling around.

330 of them were found hidden in suitcases

in Kuala Lumpar, Malaysia.

The owner of the suitcase is unknown, but wildlife officials

believe they were going to be illegally sold.

They will now be returned to their hometown of Madagascar.

Finally, we've all had that moment when we wish we could disappear.

I bet this guy does!

His name is Adrien Gulfo and he was playing in Switzerland

when instead of clearing his own goal, this happened.

Oh, that's bad, let's see it again.

Luckily for him, his team still won the match 4-3 on penalties.

I'm guessing he didn't take one of them!

That's all from me.

Newsround's back tomorrow with Leah.

Bye for now.
