:00:21. > :00:28.Hello. This doesn't happen often, but tonight on Newsround you've got
:00:28. > :00:31.Leah and Ore here. You know the drill, guys - we're
:00:31. > :00:36.live, it's just after five, and all of this is on the way.
:00:36. > :00:39.Find out why a plan to create more ponds could help these guys.
:00:39. > :00:47.And forget your laptops and tablets - Nel checks out the original
:00:47. > :00:51.computer. Before all of that we are starting with a big story that's
:00:51. > :00:56.been developing in Manchester today. Two female officers have died this
:00:56. > :01:00.morning after they responded to a call about a borrowingry on a
:01:00. > :01:03.housing estate in Tameside. The officers weren't carrying weapons
:01:04. > :01:07.when they were shot. In the last hour they've been named
:01:07. > :01:09.as PC Nicola Hughes and PC Fiona Bone. A man who handed himself into
:01:10. > :01:15.the police has been arrested. The Chief Constable of Manchester
:01:15. > :01:19.Police spoke about what happened a short while ago. Clearly this is
:01:19. > :01:25.one of the darkest days in the history of Manchester police, if
:01:25. > :01:29.not the Police Service overall. Because we have lost two deeply
:01:29. > :01:33.loved and valued colleagues, because they are part of our team,
:01:33. > :01:35.policing is very much a family. This afternoon the Prime Minister,
:01:35. > :01:39.David Cameron, described what happened as a "shocking reminder of
:01:39. > :01:42.the debt we owe to those who put themselves in danger to keep us
:01:42. > :01:45.safe and secure." We'll keep you updated as we find out more about
:01:45. > :01:49.that story. But it's important to remember it's extremely rare for
:01:49. > :01:52.this to happen to officers on duty, but if you are ever upset by
:01:52. > :01:55.anything you hear in the news, there's help and advice over on the
:01:55. > :01:58.Newsround website. Next up - British troops serving in
:01:58. > :02:02.Afghanistan will no longer go on patrol with Afghan forces, because
:02:02. > :02:05.officers are afraid they'll be attacked. There's been a big rise
:02:05. > :02:07.in Afghan soldiers and police officers attacking troops who are
:02:07. > :02:10.part of the international organisation NATO. The BBC's
:02:10. > :02:20.reporter in the capital city, Kabul, explained to Ricky why this change
:02:20. > :02:20.
:02:20. > :02:26.of plan is so important. Quentin thank you for joining us on
:02:26. > :02:31.Newsround. How big a deal is today's announcement by NATO?
:02:31. > :02:35.is a very big deal. This war has been going on for nearly 11 years.
:02:35. > :02:39.The enemy is the Taliban. International troops - British
:02:39. > :02:43.soldiers, Americans and others - have been working with Afghan
:02:43. > :02:46.soldiers, fighting against the Taliban. But in recent months we've
:02:46. > :02:50.seen an increasing number of attacks from Afghan soldiers.
:02:50. > :02:54.They've been killing not the enemy, not the Taliban, but the foreign
:02:54. > :02:57.soldiers they've been fighting alongside. But it's a tricky
:02:57. > :03:01.situation isn't it, because British troops do have a responsibility to
:03:01. > :03:06.work with the Afghan police and if Afghan soldiers out there. Will
:03:06. > :03:10.this change things now? It is very tricky indeed, because it is vital
:03:10. > :03:13.that the British soldiers work with the Afghan partners, because there
:03:14. > :03:18.are hundreds of thousands of Afghan police and Afghan Army here.
:03:18. > :03:22.Whereas there are only less than 10,000 British sools. So to keep
:03:22. > :03:26.fighting -- soldiers. So to keep fighting the Taliban they need the
:03:26. > :03:29.help of Afghans. We spend a lot of time with British soldiers in
:03:29. > :03:33.Helmand province and around the country. They tell us they don't
:03:33. > :03:36.fully trust the Afghans they work alongside. They always have to
:03:36. > :03:39.watch their backs. They always have to be careful. Now whenever Afghan
:03:39. > :03:44.soldiers or Afghan police are around and have guns there is
:03:44. > :03:49.always a British soldier who is armed at all times just in case
:03:49. > :03:53.noif these insider attacks, when the Afghan soldiers turn their
:03:53. > :03:56.backs on the British soldiers. To other news today. Royal lawyers
:03:56. > :03:59.have stopped a European magazine from publishing any more private
:03:59. > :04:02.photos of the Duchess of Cambridge sunbathing without her top on. Kate
:04:02. > :04:05.and William are still on their tour of South East Asia, but the
:04:05. > :04:08.magazine has been told to hand over the pictures within 24 hours. If
:04:08. > :04:18.they don't, they'll have to pay �8,000 a day until they do. Lawyers
:04:18. > :04:21.
:04:21. > :04:26.for the Royal Family say the photos were a breach of Kate's privacy.
:04:26. > :04:30.England will soon be embark on the defence of their 2020 World Cup
:04:30. > :04:35.title today. Kevin Pietersen has been left out of the team squad for
:04:35. > :04:39.the tour of India. In August he got into trouble for sending rude text
:04:39. > :04:44.messages about the then England Captain Andrew Strauss to some of
:04:44. > :04:54.the South African players. Selectors decided on two new
:04:54. > :04:57.
:04:57. > :05:00.players to replace Strauss and Pietersen.
:05:00. > :05:05.Charles Babbage never got around to making them, but the Science Museum
:05:05. > :05:07.in London has got together with a charity to try to build his old
:05:07. > :05:13.designs. British-born Babbage bane vented
:05:13. > :05:18.the first computer in the world and he called it the analytical engine.
:05:18. > :05:21.He also designed the difference engine, which was more like a
:05:21. > :05:27.sophisticated calculator. The Science Museum had Babbage's
:05:27. > :05:31.manuscript, so decided to build this engine to see fit would work -
:05:31. > :05:37.it did! It is a five-tonne machine. It contains over 8,000 parts. It is
:05:37. > :05:43.effectively a great big calculator. What would it do in Babbage's day?
:05:43. > :05:46.What was it used for? At this time you had people, mainly women, often
:05:46. > :05:52.called computers. Babbage's idea was rather than have people doing
:05:52. > :05:55.this, he could create a machine to do it. This machine wouldn't make
:05:55. > :05:58.mistakes. But it's the analytical engine that's the real star, and
:05:58. > :06:02.John Graham Cumming is the man who is going to build it. It is the
:06:02. > :06:06.first design of a complete security as we would recognise it, with all
:06:06. > :06:10.the bit, although they are large and mechanical. It has memory. It
:06:10. > :06:14.has the chip, if you like, which is enormous. And it even has
:06:14. > :06:18.programmes, apps if you like. would want to build an ancient
:06:18. > :06:22.computer when there's hundreds of other hi-tech options out there?
:06:22. > :06:26.You don't have one this big though. This would be the size of small
:06:26. > :06:30.steam leek motive. The advantage is that you can see how a computer
:06:31. > :06:34.works. Plans are in materialy stages. Fundraising is several
:06:34. > :06:39.million it would cost to build Babbage's analytical engine. If
:06:39. > :06:42.they succeed it will be the only computer of its kind in history.
:06:42. > :06:47.Next up we're talking about ponds. When they're healthy and well
:06:47. > :06:50.looked after they're a great place for wildlife. But the charity, Pond
:06:50. > :06:53.Conservation, is warning that 80% of them in England and Wales are
:06:53. > :06:56.badly polluted. They want to tackle the problem by undertaking a
:06:56. > :07:04.massive pond-building mission on a scale that's never been seen in the
:07:04. > :07:08.UK. I went to a pond to find out Dragonflies, frogs and newts.
:07:08. > :07:17.You'll find them in ponds around the UK. But decades of not being
:07:17. > :07:21.looked after means their habitat is under threat. The UK's ponds have a
:07:21. > :07:25.greater range of creatures per square metre than any other habitat,
:07:25. > :07:30.but half the country's ponds have disappeared over the past century.
:07:30. > :07:33.Of those that remain, more than two thirds are completed. Harmful
:07:33. > :07:37.chemicals and fertilisers and pesticides on farm which is wash
:07:37. > :07:40.into ponds when it rains are partly to blame. The problem is ponds
:07:40. > :07:44.can't been cleaned up. When the damage is done it is virtually
:07:45. > :07:48.impossible to get them back to the standard needed by sensitive fresh
:07:48. > :07:50.water plants and animals to survive. The Million Ponds Project is the
:07:50. > :07:53.largest ever pond-creation programme in the UK. Over the next
:07:53. > :08:02.seven years the plan is to create 30,000 new ponds in England and
:08:02. > :08:06.Wales. Why sit so important that we act at this moment? It is really
:08:06. > :08:12.important we create these 30,000 ponds over the next seven years.
:08:12. > :08:17.We've identified the species at greatest risk of even extinction in
:08:17. > :08:21.Britain. Around 10% of those species are reliant on fresh water
:08:21. > :08:26.pond habitat. If we don't take action now we could lose those
:08:26. > :08:29.species altogether. In 50 years it is hoped there'll be 1 million
:08:29. > :08:36.clean fresh water ponds in the UK that. Can only be a good thing for
:08:36. > :08:40.these guys. Man City kick off their Champions
:08:40. > :08:45.League campaign tonight with a toughy against Real Madrid. Roberto
:08:45. > :08:49.Mancini's boys will be hoping to go one better than last year when they
