Newsround with me, Leah. On the way: Keep watching Newsround and I will | :00:12. | :00:18. | |
tell you what it was like when I met the Queen. And why it was a smashing | :00:18. | :00:21. | |
start to the Open Golf Championships. | :00:21. | :00:24. | |
But first, Jessica Ennis, Laura Robson - two of the country's top | :00:24. | :00:29. | |
sports stars. But there's a big row about how women are treated when it | :00:29. | :00:32. | |
comes to sport. Hundreds of people complained when BBC sports | :00:32. | :00:34. | |
commentator, John Inverdale, made sexist comments about the women's | :00:34. | :00:40. | |
Wimbledon champion, Marion Bartoli. The BBC apologised for the remarks, | :00:40. | :00:49. | |
but now a top Government Minister says it should be doing more. | :00:49. | :00:59. | |
:00:59. | :01:08. | ||
set and match Ms Bartoli. I wonder Maria Miller, the Government | :01:08. | :01:11. | |
Minister in charge of sport, was so upset by this comment by John | :01:11. | :01:14. | |
Inverdale before the Wimbledon final, she wrote a letter to the | :01:15. | :01:24. | |
:01:25. | :01:30. | ||
head of the BBC to express concern the player and said it is talent and | :01:30. | :01:34. | |
determination that gets tow the top. But Maria Miller is concerned that | :01:34. | :01:38. | |
if attitudes don't change young girls will be put off watching and | :01:38. | :01:44. | |
taking up sport. We need to make sure as the media that we don't make | :01:44. | :01:49. | |
those sorts of comments that trivialise women's sport and make it | :01:49. | :01:53. | |
about their appearance rather than talent. Women's sports coverage is | :01:53. | :02:00. | |
increasing in pipe later and the BBC says it has never showed so much of | :02:00. | :02:04. | |
it. It is really important that women get that kind of coverage, | :02:04. | :02:07. | |
because who are the role models for young girls otherwise? If they are | :02:07. | :02:13. | |
only seeing men competing at the top level when women are capable of | :02:13. | :02:16. | |
doing it, what does that say to young girls watching the television. | :02:16. | :02:21. | |
The BBC has said it told John Inverdale that what it said is not | :02:21. | :02:26. | |
acceptable, and it is doing what it can to get more women's sport across | :02:26. | :02:31. | |
its daily output. And from a row that's hotting up, to | :02:31. | :02:34. | |
the weather. It's still baking out there. The last time it was this | :02:35. | :02:38. | |
hot, for this long, was 2006. This grass fire in south London is now | :02:38. | :02:42. | |
under control. In some parts of the country, temperatures have been over | :02:42. | :02:45. | |
30 degrees for a week, with more places under a heatwave alert. The | :02:45. | :02:49. | |
big question - how long will it last? Well, right over the weekend | :02:49. | :02:53. | |
and into next week. Apart from the weather, there are two other big | :02:53. | :02:57. | |
questions at the moment - when will the royal baby be born, and will it | :02:57. | :03:01. | |
be a boy or a girl? Well, one 10-year-old was brave enough to ask | :03:01. | :03:05. | |
someone who might just have the answer - the Queen. In the last 24 | :03:05. | :03:08. | |
hours, Fay has been making headlines not just here but right around the | :03:08. | :03:13. | |
world, but she found time to talk to her favourite news programme. Any | :03:13. | :03:16. | |
day now the Duke and Duchess of Cambridge will become parents for | :03:16. | :03:21. | |
the first time, and people are rather interested. The world's media | :03:21. | :03:26. | |
has set up outside this hospital in London, to report on the future King | :03:26. | :03:32. | |
or Queen. But one ten-year-old from Cumbria went straight to the head of | :03:33. | :03:38. | |
the Royal Family. Do you want Kate's baby to be a boy or a girl? Don't | :03:38. | :03:44. | |
think I mind, but I would very much like it to arrive, I'm going on | :03:44. | :03:49. | |
holiday! Faye, thank you for talking to Newsround. The last couple of | :03:49. | :03:56. | |
hours have been crazy. Yes, they have. What question did you ask Her | :03:56. | :04:01. | |
Majesty? I said, would you prefer princess Kate and William's baby to | :04:01. | :04:06. | |
be a boy or a girl. My heart was beating really, really fast. And she | :04:06. | :04:09. | |
said she wants the baby to arrive before she goes on holiday. | :04:09. | :04:14. | |
thought that was very sensible, because she wants to meet her | :04:14. | :04:18. | |
great-grandchild before she goes on holiday. Did anybody ask you to ask | :04:18. | :04:24. | |
that question? No, it was total lit from my own decision. Since everyone | :04:24. | :04:28. | |
is excited about Kate and William's baby, I thought it would be a good | :04:28. | :04:33. | |
question to ask. You are all over the internet today. How does that | :04:33. | :04:36. | |
feel? It is pretty special, because I know I will remember the day I | :04:36. | :04:42. | |
talked to the Queen. Last up, a really smashing shot at the Open | :04:42. | :04:45. | |
Golf Championships. Danish player Thomas Bjorn broke a camera lens | :04:45. | :04:48. | |
with this shot on the first day of the tournament at Muirfield. Hope | :04:48. | :04:52. |
