Good morning, Ricky here with your Bank Holiday headlines. Coming up on | :00:00. | :00:08. | |
Newsround: Astronauts at the International Space Sataion get a | :00:09. | :00:18. | |
special Easter Treat. I'm with Diversity to find out why | :00:19. | :00:23. | |
ballet is important for boys. This is Newsround! | :00:24. | :00:29. | |
But first, more than 100,000 homes in the South of England have been | :00:30. | :00:32. | |
protected from future flooding. The Environment Agency who look after | :00:33. | :00:35. | |
flooding and pollution in England say they have repaired 350 flood | :00:36. | :00:38. | |
defences after those winter floods battered parts of the country. In | :00:39. | :00:43. | |
some areas sea defences were completely washed away. There's | :00:44. | :00:47. | |
still a lot of work to be done, more than 650 defences are still in need | :00:48. | :00:58. | |
of repair. Next, the Queen celebrates her 88th | :00:59. | :01:02. | |
birthday today and the occasion's being marked with a new portrait. | :01:03. | :01:05. | |
This black and white image was taken at Buckingham Palace in March by | :01:06. | :01:08. | |
British photographer David Bailey. The Queen has two birthdays. Her | :01:09. | :01:11. | |
actual one today, and her official one in June. The Palace says the | :01:12. | :01:14. | |
Queen will be spending her birthday at Windsor Castle. | :01:15. | :01:17. | |
Next, you might think street dance and ballet are as different as night | :01:18. | :01:21. | |
and day but they actually have more in common than you might think. | :01:22. | :01:24. | |
Former Britain's Got Talent winners Diversity are backing efforts to get | :01:25. | :01:28. | |
more boys into ballet and there's a very good reason why... Jenny put on | :01:29. | :01:36. | |
her pumps to join them and find out. You will probably recognise these | :01:37. | :01:42. | |
guys from Britain's Got Talent and films. Diversity are known for their | :01:43. | :01:46. | |
energetic routines and their crazy flips and spins but you are probably | :01:47. | :01:49. | |
wondering what they have in common with ballet. Ballet is extremely | :01:50. | :01:55. | |
important, depending on what kind of dancer you want to be. If you want | :01:56. | :02:00. | |
to go into the dance industry or musical theatre and you want to jazz | :02:01. | :02:05. | |
and contemporary, you have to have a ballet background. It is imperative | :02:06. | :02:09. | |
because it is the foundation of all of those styles. Being a ballet | :02:10. | :02:14. | |
dancer has loads of positives that we can apply, for example | :02:15. | :02:17. | |
flexibility, mobility, discipline... In terms of the | :02:18. | :02:23. | |
physicality gives you it is one of the most amazing things you can | :02:24. | :02:28. | |
pursue. This dance group have made ballet a compulsory part of all of | :02:29. | :02:33. | |
their classes. Ballet is really good because it helps me with my street | :02:34. | :02:39. | |
dance that I do, especially in street because you get stronger and | :02:40. | :02:43. | |
when you are doing pop and rock you are neat and tidy towns stuff. When | :02:44. | :02:48. | |
I started I didn't really want to do it but now it is making my street | :02:49. | :02:52. | |
dance stronger and if you do ballet you find it more easy because you | :02:53. | :03:00. | |
are flexible. I thought no one would ever catch me in a leotard and teach | :03:01. | :03:05. | |
me that but since I have been doing yet it has made me feel stronger and | :03:06. | :03:11. | |
made me realise how important it is to do ballet. They are sold, but | :03:12. | :03:15. | |
convincing more boys that ballet is for them may take a little while. | :03:16. | :03:22. | |
These guys are the minority. Of the 11,000 kids that took GCSE dance | :03:23. | :03:27. | |
last year only around 700 were boys. With classes like this all of | :03:28. | :03:35. | |
that could be about to change. Thank you. There is loads more about | :03:36. | :03:43. | |
this story on the Newsround website. You can look at Jenny's | :03:44. | :03:48. | |
behind-the-scenes tour. Football, and Liverpool now have one | :03:49. | :03:51. | |
hand on the Premier League trophy after beating Norwich 3-2, extending | :03:52. | :03:55. | |
their lead at the top of the table to five points. Elsewhere the battle | :03:56. | :03:58. | |
for Champions League places continues. Arsenal beat Hull 3-0 and | :03:59. | :04:01. | |
David Moyes returned to Everton as his Man Untied team lost 2-0. Moyes | :04:02. | :04:05. | |
insists his team will be in better shape next season. We are under way | :04:06. | :04:13. | |
with what we are doing and we will try and make sure we get the right | :04:14. | :04:17. | |
things in place for the start of the next season and give ourselves a | :04:18. | :04:20. | |
better chance of competing at the top end of the league. These games | :04:21. | :04:24. | |
important as part of that process and getting into Europe? If you play | :04:25. | :04:30. | |
for Manchester United every game is important. Every team we play is a | :04:31. | :04:34. | |
tough game and we will do everything we can to win the remaining games. | :04:35. | :04:37. | |
The crew of the International Space Station took delivery of a special | :04:38. | :04:40. | |
Easter treat last night. A cargo ship full of supplies docked with | :04:41. | :04:44. | |
the Space Station on Sunday. The unmanned rocket which blasted off | :04:45. | :04:46. | |
from Florida over the week contained two tonnes of food, equipment and | :04:47. | :04:51. | |
science experiments. Astronauts used a robot arm to capture the capsule | :04:52. | :04:56. | |
260 miles above Egypt. That's all from me, Newsround's back | :04:57. | :04:59. | |
right here in about half an hour. | :05:00. | :05:04. |
