0:00:09 > 0:00:14We hear from the star of new film The BFG.

0:00:14 > 0:00:20And the snails slugging it out at the world championships.

0:00:26 > 0:00:30First, a warship that sunk nearly 500 years ago off the coast

0:00:30 > 0:00:33of Portsmouth is being shown off to the public for the first time.

0:00:33 > 0:00:35Today, after millions of pounds and years of hard work,

0:00:35 > 0:00:37people will finally get to see the historic

0:00:37 > 0:00:42Mary Rose like never before.

0:00:42 > 0:00:44There is the wreck of the Mary Rose.

0:00:44 > 0:00:46She has come to the surface.

0:00:46 > 0:00:48The Mary Rose.

0:00:48 > 0:00:52Back in 1982, this Tudor ship was brought back to the surface

0:00:52 > 0:00:55after sinking hundreds of years ago.

0:00:55 > 0:00:59She was a warship during the reign of Henry VIII.

0:00:59 > 0:01:05But no-one's sure why or how the ship sunk all those years ago.

0:01:05 > 0:01:10Was it human error, strong winds or gunfire from another ship?

0:01:10 > 0:01:14For more than 30 years, experts have been busy restoring

0:01:14 > 0:01:17the ship to her natural state and it's been a massive job.

0:01:17 > 0:01:20Every inch of the Mary Rose has been sprayed with a special solution

0:01:20 > 0:01:23to preserve it and the ship has been kept in a giant glass

0:01:23 > 0:01:26hot box to dry it out.

0:01:26 > 0:01:32The BBC's Duncan Kennedy was given exclusive access to the ship.

0:01:32 > 0:01:35This is never been seen before, neither on television or online.

0:01:35 > 0:01:38This is the side of the ship that was buried most deeply

0:01:38 > 0:01:40in the mud of the Solent.

0:01:40 > 0:01:43All the white you see is the polyethylene glycol,

0:01:43 > 0:01:45the wax-like chemical that they've been spraying it

0:01:45 > 0:01:51with for the past 19 years.

0:01:51 > 0:01:54Scaffolding has been used to keep it in place and giant pipes of air

0:01:54 > 0:01:58conditioning manage the temperature inside this special room.

0:01:58 > 0:02:01From now on, the public will not only be able to get the history

0:02:01 > 0:02:03and the sense of tragedy of this whole ship,

0:02:03 > 0:02:06but they can get up close, breathe it, almost touch it,

0:02:06 > 0:02:11in the way that Henry VIII would have himself.

0:02:11 > 0:02:13From now on, this really is the final story of this

0:02:13 > 0:02:17magnificent Tudor timepiece.

0:02:17 > 0:02:19It's the only 16th-century warship on display in the world,

0:02:19 > 0:02:21and it will remain here at the Mary Rose Museum

0:02:21 > 0:02:28in Portsmouth.

0:02:28 > 0:02:30Also today, a campaign is being launched to encourage

0:02:30 > 0:02:32school trips with an overnight stay.

0:02:32 > 0:02:35The group - Learning Away - say staying away

0:02:35 > 0:02:38from home helps children to become more independent, achieve more

0:02:38 > 0:02:41and make new friendships.

0:02:41 > 0:02:44Now to the 11-year-old British girl who's got a starring

0:02:44 > 0:02:47role in the BFG movie.

0:02:47 > 0:02:50Ruby Barnhill was on the red carpet on Sunday and Blue Peter's Lindsey

0:02:50 > 0:02:52got to catch up with her for a chat.

0:02:52 > 0:02:58What's it like to be directed by Steven Spielberg?

0:02:58 > 0:03:02I really love playing Sophie because she's independent and really

0:03:02 > 0:03:06strong, but at the same time she has a sensitive side to her.

0:03:06 > 0:03:08It's really interesting playing her.

0:03:08 > 0:03:10Obviously, being directed by Steven is incredible.

0:03:10 > 0:03:13He is not only an amazing director, but he is also a lovely

0:03:13 > 0:03:15person, so it's great.

0:03:15 > 0:03:18And if you want to see more of that interview,

0:03:18 > 0:03:21make sure you catch Blue Peter this Thursday at 5pm.

0:03:21 > 0:03:23Now to one of Britain's greatest adventurers -

0:03:23 > 0:03:26Sir Ranulph Fiennes.

0:03:26 > 0:03:29He's attempting a record-breaking challenge for charity.

0:03:29 > 0:03:32Ayshah went to meet him to find out what he's up to.

0:03:32 > 0:03:34Sir Ranulph Fiennes is one of Britain's greatest

0:03:34 > 0:03:37modern-day explorers.

0:03:37 > 0:03:40He's spent most of his life taking part in epic expeditions

0:03:40 > 0:03:43and death-defying challenges.

0:03:43 > 0:03:47He's even conquered Mount Everest - the world's tallest mountain.

0:03:47 > 0:03:53But there's still one quest left for the 72-year-old to complete.

0:03:53 > 0:03:56The challenge is to cross Antarctica, which is bigger

0:03:56 > 0:04:00than China, to cross the Arctic Ocean, which is floating

0:04:00 > 0:04:02ice for 2,000 miles over the North Pole, and to climb

0:04:02 > 0:04:09the tallest mountain on every continent in the world,

0:04:09 > 0:04:12and there are seven continents.

0:04:12 > 0:04:15Sir Ranulph has already reached the North and South Poles

0:04:15 > 0:04:20and climbed the highest mountains on three continents so far.

0:04:20 > 0:04:23In the next year, he'll attempt to reach the peak of four more

0:04:23 > 0:04:23mountains to complete his record attempt.

0:04:26 > 0:04:28Mount Carstensz in Australasia, Mount Vinson in Antarctica,

0:04:28 > 0:04:32Mount Aconcagua in South America, and finally the dangerous

0:04:32 > 0:04:38Mount Denali in North America.

0:04:38 > 0:04:44What we want to do is to raise the money by doing it.

0:04:44 > 0:04:49The money will go to training nurses in the Marie Curie organisation.

0:04:51 > 0:04:54So charity, science and breaking world records before

0:04:54 > 0:04:59the Norwegians are three are the reasons why we keep going.

0:04:59 > 0:05:02But even after achieving so much, there's one person that Sir Ranulph

0:05:02 > 0:05:06can't seem to impress.

0:05:06 > 0:05:09My ten-year-old daughter is very, very interested in becoming a vet.

0:05:09 > 0:05:13That's what she wants.

0:05:13 > 0:05:20But she's not at all interested in a daddy who goes away,

0:05:20 > 0:05:22doing funny things in funny places.

0:05:22 > 0:05:25Well, Newsround is very interested and we'll be keeping a close eye

0:05:25 > 0:05:28on Sir Ranulph to see if he can finish his incredible challenge.

0:05:28 > 0:05:32And finally, more than 200 snails slugged it out at the snail world

0:05:32 > 0:05:35championships in in Norfolk, where the likes of Uslime Bolt

0:05:35 > 0:05:38and Turbo Speed took part.

0:05:38 > 0:05:41This year's winner was a snail called Herbie, who was brought

0:05:41 > 0:05:42from a garden in Cambridgeshire.

0:05:42 > 0:05:45His prize was a silver cup filled with lettuce.

0:05:45 > 0:05:47Head to the Newsround website for all of our best stories.

0:05:47 > 0:05:50For now, that's all from me and the team.

0:05:50 > 0:05:52Ayshah's back with more Newsround at 4:20.

0:05:52 > 0:05:56Have a brilliant day.
