If Good afternoon, hope you're enjoing your bank holiday. Ricky

:00:00.:00:07.

here with your latest Newsround. Coming up. A huge fire lights up the

:00:08.:00:13.

skies of Leeds. Drumming up some music in Egypt. Only on Newsround.

:00:14.:00:23.

First to America, where thousands of runners are taking part in the

:00:24.:00:26.

Boston Marathon a year after two bombs exploded near the finish line.

:00:27.:00:30.

The events shocked the world, but one year on more people than ever

:00:31.:00:42.

are determined to get involved. The 118th Boston marathon is well under

:00:43.:00:46.

way. It might look like any other big event, but security is much

:00:47.:00:49.

tighter than usual here. Last year, three people died and over 260 were

:00:50.:00:53.

injured when two bombs exploded near the finish line. There was a big

:00:54.:00:59.

search for the two men thought to be responsible. One suspect was killed

:01:00.:01:02.

and the other is still awaiting trial. But this hasn't stopped

:01:03.:01:05.

people from wanting to take part. 36,000 runners have signed up -

:01:06.:01:09.

9,000 more than usual - giving those who couldn't complete the course

:01:10.:01:12.

last year the chance to finish it. The BBC's Laura Trevelyan sent us

:01:13.:01:15.

this from the finish line, just before the race got under way.

:01:16.:01:22.

Behind me though is all spread out the messages of support from across

:01:23.:01:26.

America as a nation remembers what happened here last year. Security is

:01:27.:01:32.

very tight with 3500 police officers deployed, and this is a chance for

:01:33.:01:36.

the city to remember, but also to recover and to show its resilience

:01:37.:01:40.

to the world. Half a million supporters have turned up to cheer

:01:41.:01:44.

on family and friends and like the runners, they're more determined

:01:45.:01:48.

than ever to be there. Just to show terrorists that they cannot win. I

:01:49.:01:51.

saw picture that said we need to take the finish line back, and that

:01:52.:01:55.

is what 36,000 people are going to do. I think it is great, I think it

:01:56.:02:01.

is the safest place on the planet. For these runners, crossing the

:02:02.:02:04.

finish line won't just be a personal victory, but one for the whole city.

:02:05.:02:09.

And if you're upset by anything you see on the news there's help and

:02:10.:02:12.

advice over on the Newsround website. Next, Manchester United are

:02:13.:02:19.

not commenting on reports that David Moyes is said to be sacked as

:02:20.:02:23.

manager. Various newspapers claimed that the club will say goodbye to

:02:24.:02:28.

the Scott as early as next week. But the club declined to comment when

:02:29.:02:34.

comment -- contacted by the BBC. A huge fire on an industrial estate in

:02:35.:02:37.

Leeds, which started just before two this morning, has been brought under

:02:38.:02:40.

control. Nearby roads were closed as 80 firefighters tackled the blaze.

:02:41.:02:44.

People in the city centre were told to keep their windows and doors

:02:45.:02:46.

closed because of potential chemicals that were kept on the

:02:47.:02:50.

site. Next, you might think street dance and ballet are very different

:02:51.:02:53.

but they actually have a lot in common. Former Britain's Got Talent

:02:54.:02:56.

winners Diversity are backing efforts to get more boys into ballet

:02:57.:02:59.

and as Jenny's been finding out there's a very good reason why. You

:03:00.:03:09.

will probably recognise these guys from Britain's Got Talent. They are

:03:10.:03:16.

known for crazy steps and spins and energetic routines but you are

:03:17.:03:18.

properly wondering what they have got in common with Ballet dance. It

:03:19.:03:34.

is imperative that we have all of those skills. Being a ballet dancer

:03:35.:03:37.

has loads of positives that we can apply. Flexibility, mobility,

:03:38.:03:46.

discipline. It is one of the most amazing things you can do. This

:03:47.:03:53.

dance group in Manchester have made Ballet danced compulsory in all of

:03:54.:03:58.

their classes. It is very good, it helps me with my running dance that

:03:59.:04:02.

I do. Especially on the street, because you get stronger. When you

:04:03.:04:10.

are doing popping and walking. I thought, you will never catch me in

:04:11.:04:16.

a leotard and a tutu and that, but since I have been doing it it has

:04:17.:04:20.

made me feel stronger and made me lies how important it is to do

:04:21.:04:28.

ballet. But convincing more boys that Ballet dance is for them might

:04:29.:04:31.

take a little while. These are the minority. 11,000 digital GCSE

:04:32.:04:39.

dance, only 700 of those were boys. But, with classes like this, or

:04:40.:04:45.

that, -- all that could be about to change. Finally, turn up the volume

:04:46.:04:51.

and check out these musicians taking part in the International Drum

:04:52.:04:54.

Festival in Cairo, Egypt. Dancers and bands from 21 countries are

:04:55.:04:58.

joining in the event which goes on until Friday. That's your lot, I'll

:04:59.:05:00.

be back at
