0:00:03 > 0:00:06Good morning, you're watching CBBC, and this is Newsround.
0:00:06 > 0:00:08Coming up this Tuesday:
0:00:08 > 0:00:11We meet the artist turning sand into works of art.
0:00:11 > 0:00:21And freak weather hits Brazil just weeks before the World Cup.
0:00:21 > 0:00:24First up, we're talking mummies, Egyptian mummies.
0:00:24 > 0:00:27Have you ever wondered what's lurking beneath those bandages?
0:00:27 > 0:00:31Well, the British Museum has used ground-breaking techniques to reveal
0:00:31 > 0:00:34amazing details about the people inside them.
0:00:34 > 0:00:38Using a state-of-the-art CT scanner, scientists were able to discover
0:00:38 > 0:00:42the mummies' age, what they ate and how they died.
0:00:42 > 0:00:47The BBC's Pallab Ghosh has been to unravel the mystery.
0:00:47 > 0:00:49This is how we're used to seeing mummies,
0:00:49 > 0:00:52entombed in their burial caskets.
0:00:52 > 0:00:56The CT scans enable us to see right through the casket
0:00:56 > 0:00:58and even through the bandages.
0:00:58 > 0:01:02Here's the body of a 40-year-old woman buried with
0:01:02 > 0:01:04her precious amulets.
0:01:04 > 0:01:08It's the first time that this has been seen for 4,000 years.
0:01:08 > 0:01:12The aim of the study is to learn more about the people underneath
0:01:12 > 0:01:22the bandages and, in a sense, bring the mummies back to life.
0:01:22 > 0:01:24Almost a million people in Bosnia-Herzegovina are without
0:01:24 > 0:01:27clean water, around one million, after the worst flooding
0:01:27 > 0:01:28since modern records began.
0:01:28 > 0:01:31Three months' worth of rain fell in the south-eastern European
0:01:31 > 0:01:32country in just a few days.
0:01:32 > 0:01:36More than 35 people have died, and as many as 500,000 people have
0:01:36 > 0:01:37had to leave their homes.
0:01:37 > 0:01:39An international rescue operation is taking place.
0:01:39 > 0:01:42Thousands of secondary-school children are setting off for special
0:01:42 > 0:01:45tours of battlefields in Belgium and France to remember the hundredth
0:01:45 > 0:01:47anniversary of the First World War.
0:01:47 > 0:01:50It's all part of a government programme designed to help teachers
0:01:50 > 0:01:53and students understand the conflict and to encourage them to share
0:01:53 > 0:01:56their knowledge when they get home.
0:01:56 > 0:01:5814-year-old Charlotte discovered that her great-great-uncle was
0:01:58 > 0:02:02buried in a Belgium cemetery.
0:02:02 > 0:02:06It was a bit emotional, but I just wanted to just say
0:02:06 > 0:02:10a little prayer in my head.
0:02:10 > 0:02:12I think it's really important, because, again,
0:02:12 > 0:02:16you feel a connection to the people that are here.
0:02:16 > 0:02:18And I guess it's another opportunity, because these people,
0:02:18 > 0:02:23when their family passes, they won't get to have people visit
0:02:23 > 0:02:27their graves.
0:02:27 > 0:02:29Next to the artist turning sand into works of art:
0:02:29 > 0:02:32after winning Ukraine's Got Talent, Kseniya Simonova has become
0:02:32 > 0:02:37an international star, with millions of hits, likes and views online.
0:02:37 > 0:02:42Her extraordinary creations feature stories from her childood in Crimea.
0:02:42 > 0:02:45Now the artist is using her creations to speak about the future
0:02:45 > 0:02:55of Ukraine after months of unrest.
0:02:55 > 0:03:00Kseniya produces these stunning images using sand and light.
0:03:00 > 0:03:03I'm Russian, but I was born here.
0:03:03 > 0:03:06My adult life was in Ukraine.
0:03:06 > 0:03:11These animations helped her to win Ukraine's Got Talent in 2009.
0:03:11 > 0:03:15It is like space. I close the door, and now I'm not here:
0:03:15 > 0:03:20all my mind, all my organisation is there, in the sand.
0:03:20 > 0:03:23Since winning, her life has changed dramatically, and
0:03:23 > 0:03:26so has the situation in Ukraine.
0:03:26 > 0:03:30The Russian artist was born in Crimea, the region at the centre
0:03:30 > 0:03:34of a big argument between the world's most powerful countries.
0:03:34 > 0:03:36In March, Crimea, which used to belong to Ukraine,
0:03:36 > 0:03:40was taken over by Russia.
0:03:40 > 0:03:43Kseniya says she is troubled with the current conflict and she is
0:03:43 > 0:03:46worried about the levels of violence in eastern parts of the country.
0:03:46 > 0:03:52When I look at the events which happen for example in Ukraine,
0:03:52 > 0:03:56when I occasionally see the news, I get upset.
0:03:56 > 0:03:59The artist says the place where she grew up in Crimea helps her
0:03:59 > 0:04:01to create these images.
0:04:01 > 0:04:04I'm just trying to show the diversity of us,
0:04:04 > 0:04:08in particular me, for example, because I have this mixture.
0:04:08 > 0:04:12Despite the tensions in eastern Ukraine, the artist is
0:04:12 > 0:04:14hopeful for the future.
0:04:14 > 0:04:19After everything happens, the things for me will be still the same.
0:04:19 > 0:04:24Whatever it is, Ukraine, Russia, Jupiter or Moon, I will always be
0:04:24 > 0:04:29happy here, whatever country it is.
0:04:29 > 0:04:31Next to freak weather in Brazil:
0:04:31 > 0:04:34Sao Paulo, the country's largest city, where the World Cup kicks
0:04:34 > 0:04:40off in a matter of weeks, was hit my an unusually heavy hailstorm.
0:04:40 > 0:04:44and loads of people decided to take pictures and even play in the ice.
0:04:44 > 0:04:49The hail left many roads flooded or coated white.
0:04:49 > 0:04:53Finally, imagine playing a footy match here, the Etihad Stadium.
0:04:53 > 0:04:56Well, that's what some very lucky schoolchildren are getting ready to
0:04:56 > 0:04:58do today, because the finals of the Premier League schools
0:04:58 > 0:05:00tournament kick off this morning.
0:05:00 > 0:05:01And at 8:15,
0:05:01 > 0:05:02Martin will be live from the home of Manchester City to tell us more.
