0:00:02 > 0:00:03Good morning, everyone.
0:00:03 > 0:00:04Leah here with today's Newsround.
0:00:04 > 0:00:06Coming up:
0:00:06 > 0:00:10The explorer taking on his biggest challenge yet.
0:00:10 > 0:00:15And the snails slugging it out at the world championships.
0:00:23 > 0:00:26First, a warship that sunk nearly 500 years ago off the coast
0:00:26 > 0:00:28of Portsmouth is being shown off to the public for the first time.
0:00:30 > 0:00:33The Mary Rose sunk in 1545 and, for hundreds of years,
0:00:33 > 0:00:35she lay at the bottom of the sea.
0:00:35 > 0:00:38But today after millions of pounds and years of hard work,
0:00:38 > 0:00:40people will finally get to see the historic Mary Rose
0:00:40 > 0:00:41like never before.
0:00:41 > 0:00:43There is the wreck of the Mary Rose.
0:00:43 > 0:00:45She has come to the surface.
0:00:45 > 0:00:46The Mary Rose.
0:00:46 > 0:00:50Back in 1982, this Tudor ship was brought back to the surface
0:00:50 > 0:00:54after sinking hundreds of years ago.
0:00:54 > 0:00:57She was a warship during the reign of Henry VIII.
0:00:57 > 0:01:00But no-one's sure why or how the ship sunk
0:01:00 > 0:01:01all those years ago.
0:01:01 > 0:01:06Was it human error, strong winds or gunfire from another ship?
0:01:06 > 0:01:09For more than 30 years, experts have been busy restoring
0:01:09 > 0:01:14the ship to her natural state and it's been a massive job.
0:01:14 > 0:01:18Every inch of the Mary Rose has been sprayed with a special solution
0:01:18 > 0:01:20to preserve it and the ship has been kept
0:01:20 > 0:01:24in a giant glass hot box to dry it out.
0:01:24 > 0:01:29The BBC's Duncan Kennedy was given exclusive access to the ship.
0:01:29 > 0:01:33This is never been seen before, neither on television or online.
0:01:33 > 0:01:36This is the side of the ship that was buried most deeply
0:01:36 > 0:01:38in the mud of the Solent.
0:01:38 > 0:01:40All the white you see is the polyethylene glycol,
0:01:40 > 0:01:43the wax-like chemical that they've been spraying it with
0:01:43 > 0:01:47for the past 19 years.
0:01:47 > 0:01:49Scaffolding has been used to keep it in place
0:01:49 > 0:01:52and giant pipes of air conditioning manage the temperature
0:01:52 > 0:01:57inside this special room.
0:01:57 > 0:02:00From now on, the public will not only be able to get the history
0:02:00 > 0:02:02and the sense of tragedy of this whole ship,
0:02:02 > 0:02:05but they can get up close, breathe it, almost touch it,
0:02:05 > 0:02:09in the way that Henry VIII would have himself.
0:02:09 > 0:02:11From now on, this really is the final story
0:02:11 > 0:02:14of this magnificent Tudor timepiece.
0:02:14 > 0:02:16It's the only 16th-century warship on display in the world,
0:02:16 > 0:02:24and it will remain here at the Mary Rose Museum in Portsmouth.
0:02:24 > 0:02:26Now to one of Britain's greatest adventurers -
0:02:26 > 0:02:28Sir Ranulph Fiennes.
0:02:28 > 0:02:30He's attempting a new record-breaking challenge
0:02:30 > 0:02:32for charity.
0:02:32 > 0:02:36Ayshah went to meet him to find out what he's up to.
0:02:36 > 0:02:38Sir Ranulph Fiennes is one of Britain's greatest
0:02:38 > 0:02:40modern-day explorers.
0:02:40 > 0:02:43He's spent most of his life taking part in epic expeditions
0:02:43 > 0:02:46and death-defying challenges.
0:02:46 > 0:02:50He's even conquered Mount Everest - the world's tallest mountain.
0:02:50 > 0:02:55But there's still one quest left for the 72-year-old to complete.
0:02:55 > 0:02:59The challenge is to cross Antarctica,
0:02:59 > 0:03:02which is bigger than China, to cross the Arctic Ocean,
0:03:02 > 0:03:06which is floating ice for 2,000 miles over the North Pole,
0:03:06 > 0:03:12and to climb the tallest mountain on every continent in the world,
0:03:12 > 0:03:15and there are seven continents.
0:03:15 > 0:03:17Sir Ranulph has already reached the North and South Poles
0:03:17 > 0:03:22and climbed the highest mountains on three continents so far.
0:03:22 > 0:03:27In the next year, he'll attempt to reach the peak
0:03:27 > 0:03:29of four more mountains to complete his record attempt.
0:03:29 > 0:03:31Mount Carstensz in Australasia, Mount Vinson in Antarctica,
0:03:31 > 0:03:33Mount Aconcagua in South America,
0:03:33 > 0:03:41and finally the dangerous Mount Denali in North America.
0:03:41 > 0:03:46What we want to do is to raise the money by doing it.
0:03:46 > 0:03:52The money will go to training nurses in the Marie Curie organisation.
0:03:52 > 0:03:57So charity, science and breaking world records before the Norwegians
0:03:57 > 0:04:01are three are the reasons why we keep going.
0:04:01 > 0:04:02But even after achieving so much,
0:04:02 > 0:04:07there's one person that Sir Ranulph can't seem to impress.
0:04:07 > 0:04:12My ten-year-old daughter is very, very interested in becoming a vet.
0:04:12 > 0:04:15That's what she wants.
0:04:15 > 0:04:16But she's not at all interested
0:04:16 > 0:04:21in a daddy who goes away, finding things in funny places.
0:04:21 > 0:04:24Well, Newsround is very interested and we'll be keeping a close eye
0:04:24 > 0:04:27on Sir Ranulph to see if he can finish his incredible challenge.
0:04:30 > 0:04:35And, finally, more than 200 snails slugged it out
0:04:35 > 0:04:37at the snail world championships in Norfolk,
0:04:37 > 0:04:42where the likes of Uslime Bolt and Turbo Speed took part.
0:04:42 > 0:04:44This year's winner though was a snail called Herbie,
0:04:44 > 0:04:46who was brought from a garden in Cambridgeshire.
0:04:46 > 0:04:51His prize was a silver cup filled with lettuce.
0:04:51 > 0:04:55That's all from me, Newsround's back right here in about half an hour.
