Morning, everyone.

0:00:030:00:04

Leah here with Tuesday's Newsround.

0:00:040:00:06

Keep watching for some of this live on CBBC.

0:00:060:00:09

We hear from the star of new film The BFG.

0:00:090:00:14

And the snails slugging it out at the world championships.

0:00:140:00:20

First, a warship that sunk nearly 500 years ago off the coast

0:00:260:00:30

of Portsmouth is being shown off to the public for the first time.

0:00:300:00:33

Today, after millions of pounds and years of hard work,

0:00:330:00:35

people will finally get to see the historic

0:00:350:00:37

Mary Rose like never before.

0:00:370:00:42

There is the wreck of the Mary Rose.

0:00:420:00:44

She has come to the surface.

0:00:440:00:46

The Mary Rose.

0:00:460:00:48

Back in 1982, this Tudor ship was brought back to the surface

0:00:480:00:52

after sinking hundreds of years ago.

0:00:520:00:55

She was a warship during the reign of Henry VIII.

0:00:550:00:59

But no-one's sure why or how the ship sunk all those years ago.

0:00:590:01:05

Was it human error, strong winds or gunfire from another ship?

0:01:050:01:10

For more than 30 years, experts have been busy restoring

0:01:100:01:14

the ship to her natural state and it's been a massive job.

0:01:140:01:17

Every inch of the Mary Rose has been sprayed with a special solution

0:01:170:01:20

to preserve it and the ship has been kept in a giant glass

0:01:200:01:23

hot box to dry it out.

0:01:230:01:26

The BBC's Duncan Kennedy was given exclusive access to the ship.

0:01:260:01:32

This is never been seen before, neither on television or online.

0:01:320:01:35

This is the side of the ship that was buried most deeply

0:01:350:01:38

in the mud of the Solent.

0:01:380:01:40

All the white you see is the polyethylene glycol,

0:01:400:01:43

the wax-like chemical that they've been spraying it

0:01:430:01:45

with for the past 19 years.

0:01:450:01:51

Scaffolding has been used to keep it in place and giant pipes of air

0:01:510:01:54

conditioning manage the temperature inside this special room.

0:01:540:01:58

From now on, the public will not only be able to get the history

0:01:580:02:01

and the sense of tragedy of this whole ship,

0:02:010:02:03

but they can get up close, breathe it, almost touch it,

0:02:030:02:06

in the way that Henry VIII would have himself.

0:02:060:02:11

From now on, this really is the final story of this

0:02:110:02:13

magnificent Tudor timepiece.

0:02:130:02:17

It's the only 16th-century warship on display in the world,

0:02:170:02:19

and it will remain here at the Mary Rose Museum

0:02:190:02:21

in Portsmouth.

0:02:210:02:28

Also today, a campaign is being launched to encourage

0:02:280:02:30

school trips with an overnight stay.

0:02:300:02:32

The group - Learning Away - say staying away

0:02:320:02:35

from home helps children to become more independent, achieve more

0:02:350:02:38

and make new friendships.

0:02:380:02:41

Now to the 11-year-old British girl who's got a starring

0:02:410:02:44

role in the BFG movie.

0:02:440:02:47

Ruby Barnhill was on the red carpet on Sunday and Blue Peter's Lindsey

0:02:470:02:50

got to catch up with her for a chat.

0:02:500:02:52

What's it like to be directed by Steven Spielberg?

0:02:520:02:58

I really love playing Sophie because she's independent and really

0:02:580:03:02

strong, but at the same time she has a sensitive side to her.

0:03:020:03:06

It's really interesting playing her.

0:03:060:03:08

Obviously, being directed by Steven is incredible.

0:03:080:03:10

He is not only an amazing director, but he is also a lovely

0:03:100:03:13

person, so it's great.

0:03:130:03:15

And if you want to see more of that interview,

0:03:150:03:18

make sure you catch Blue Peter this Thursday at 5pm.

0:03:180:03:21

Now to one of Britain's greatest adventurers -

0:03:210:03:23

Sir Ranulph Fiennes.

0:03:230:03:26

He's attempting a record-breaking challenge for charity.

0:03:260:03:29

Ayshah went to meet him to find out what he's up to.

0:03:290:03:32

Sir Ranulph Fiennes is one of Britain's greatest

0:03:320:03:34

modern-day explorers.

0:03:340:03:37

He's spent most of his life taking part in epic expeditions

0:03:370:03:40

and death-defying challenges.

0:03:400:03:43

He's even conquered Mount Everest - the world's tallest mountain.

0:03:430:03:47

But there's still one quest left for the 72-year-old to complete.

0:03:470:03:53

The challenge is to cross Antarctica, which is bigger

0:03:530:03:56

than China, to cross the Arctic Ocean, which is floating

0:03:560:04:00

ice for 2,000 miles over the North Pole, and to climb

0:04:000:04:02

the tallest mountain on every continent in the world,

0:04:020:04:09

and there are seven continents.

0:04:090:04:12

Sir Ranulph has already reached the North and South Poles

0:04:120:04:15

and climbed the highest mountains on three continents so far.

0:04:150:04:20

In the next year, he'll attempt to reach the peak of four more

0:04:200:04:23

mountains to complete his record attempt.

0:04:230:04:23

Mount Carstensz in Australasia, Mount Vinson in Antarctica,

0:04:260:04:28

Mount Aconcagua in South America, and finally the dangerous

0:04:280:04:32

Mount Denali in North America.

0:04:320:04:38

What we want to do is to raise the money by doing it.

0:04:380:04:44

The money will go to training nurses in the Marie Curie organisation.

0:04:440:04:49

So charity, science and breaking world records before

0:04:510:04:54

the Norwegians are three are the reasons why we keep going.

0:04:540:04:59

But even after achieving so much, there's one person that Sir Ranulph

0:04:590:05:02

can't seem to impress.

0:05:020:05:06

My ten-year-old daughter is very, very interested in becoming a vet.

0:05:060:05:09

That's what she wants.

0:05:090:05:13

But she's not at all interested in a daddy who goes away,

0:05:130:05:20

doing funny things in funny places.

0:05:200:05:22

Well, Newsround is very interested and we'll be keeping a close eye

0:05:220:05:25

on Sir Ranulph to see if he can finish his incredible challenge.

0:05:250:05:28

And finally, more than 200 snails slugged it out at the snail world

0:05:280:05:32

championships in in Norfolk, where the likes of Uslime Bolt

0:05:320:05:35

and Turbo Speed took part.

0:05:350:05:38

This year's winner was a snail called Herbie, who was brought

0:05:380:05:41

from a garden in Cambridgeshire.

0:05:410:05:42

His prize was a silver cup filled with lettuce.

0:05:420:05:45

Head to the Newsround website for all of our best stories.

0:05:450:05:47

For now, that's all from me and the team.

0:05:470:05:50

Ayshah's back with more Newsround at 4:20.

0:05:500:05:52

Have a brilliant day.
