This is Newsround. Manchester United are not commenting on reports that

:00:10.:00:18.

David Moyes is set to leave. The club told the BBC that David Moyes

:00:19.:00:22.

has not been sacked, but would not comment on his long-term future.

:00:23.:00:24.

Various newspapers have claimed the club will say goodbye to him as

:00:25.:00:29.

early as this week, following a poor season.

:00:30.:00:32.

In America thousands of runners are taking part in the Boston Marathon,

:00:33.:00:35.

a year after two bombs exploded near the finish line. The events shocked

:00:36.:00:40.

the world, but one year on more people than ever are determined to

:00:41.:00:44.

get involved. The 118th Boston marathon is well

:00:45.:00:49.

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

:00:50.:00:53.

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

:00:54.:00:56.

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

:00:57.:01:02.

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

:01:03.:01:06.

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

:01:07.:01:10.

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

:01:11.:01:13.

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

:01:14.:01:18.

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

:01:19.:01:22.

this from the finish line, just before the race got underway. Behind

:01:23.:01:30.

me on Boston Common, banners are spread out, messages of support from

:01:31.:01:33.

across America, as the whole nation remembers what happened last year.

:01:34.:01:39.

Security is very tight. 3500 police officers, 50 observation points at

:01:40.:01:43.

the finish line. This is a chance for the city to remember, but also

:01:44.:01:46.

to recover and show its resilience to the world. 500,000 supporters

:01:47.:01:49.

have turned up to cheer on family and friends and like the runners,

:01:50.:01:53.

they're more determined than ever to be there. Just to show the

:01:54.:01:58.

terrorists that they can't win. I saw a picture a few years ago that

:01:59.:02:02.

said, we need to take our finish line back. I think that's what

:02:03.:02:08.

36,000 people are going to do. I think it's great, I believe those

:02:09.:02:11.

that say it is the safest place on the planet today. For these runners,

:02:12.:02:14.

crossing the finish line won't just be a personal victory, but one for

:02:15.:02:18.

the whole city. And if you're upset by anything you see on the news

:02:19.:02:22.

there's help and advice over on the Newsround website.

:02:23.:02:24.

The Queen's 88th birthday has been marked across the UK with

:02:25.:02:27.

traditional gun salutes. A 62-gun royal salute was fired from the

:02:28.:02:30.

Tower of London and there was also guns fired in London's Green Park

:02:31.:02:33.

and at Edinburgh and Stirling Castles. The Queen celebrates her

:02:34.:02:37.

birthday twice a year. Today is her actual birthday and in June there

:02:38.:02:40.

will be another celebration to mark the occasion.

:02:41.:02:44.

That's all from me, make sure you're back here bright and early tomorrow

:02:45.:02:50.

morning at 7:40. As Radio One celebrate a decade of downloads, we

:02:51.:02:53.

will reveal which song is the official all-time download. I wonder

:02:54.:03:00.

who it will be? Is it then? Check back tomorrow.
