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 | :05:01. | :05:01. |
