Good morning, I'm Ayshah with Thursday's top stories.

:00:00.:00:00.

And we speak to the star of the new BFG film.

:00:00.:00:22.

Footie news first though, and it's expected that Sam Allardyce

:00:23.:00:28.

will be confirmed as the new England manager later today.

:00:29.:00:30.

Allardyce has been Sunderland boss for the last nine months and managed

:00:31.:00:33.

to keep his team in the Premier League last season.

:00:34.:00:35.

He's thought to have met with the Football Association last

:00:36.:00:40.

week to talk about replacing Roy Hodgson, who quit in June

:00:41.:00:43.

after England's surprise defeat to Iceland in the Euros.

:00:44.:00:46.

Each year, scientists at the Sea Watch Foundation lead

:00:47.:00:49.

a week-long campaign at the start of the summer holidays to get

:00:50.:00:52.

you guys, and grown-ups, out and about around the UK,

:00:53.:00:56.

and we've sent Martin to Cardigan Bay in Wales to join

:00:57.:00:59.

in with some young dolphin spotters.

:01:00.:01:03.

A coast dotted by fishing villages, seaside resorts and beautiful

:01:04.:01:09.

But perhaps it's best known as the home of the UK's largest

:01:10.:01:14.

Over the past 40 years, whales, dolphins and harbour porpoises have

:01:15.:01:21.

been monitored by scientists and volunteers all around the coast.

:01:22.:01:27.

And today I've joined these guys to take part in one of the annual

:01:28.:01:30.

organised watches here on the Welsh coast.

:01:31.:01:32.

Seawatch's conservation work hopes to improve the protection of whales

:01:33.:01:36.

and dolphins around Britain and Ireland by keeping track of,

:01:37.:01:40.

and identifying the individual animals here.

:01:41.:01:47.

Despite whoever's at sea, not one dolphin appeared.

:01:48.:01:52.

But that didn't stop these guys, who are back on land to try things

:01:53.:01:55.

I've looked out about five times, and every time I'm convinced that

:01:56.:02:01.

So, despite the disappointment so far, how were they feeling?

:02:02.:02:07.

I quite like doing this sort of thing, but I haven't really

:02:08.:02:10.

I felt quite disappointed that we didn't see a dolphin,

:02:11.:02:15.

but I'm hoping that we'll see one later today.

:02:16.:02:17.

I was really, really hoping to see one out in the wild,

:02:18.:02:20.

29 species of whale, dolphin and porpoise have been

:02:21.:02:26.

13 species have been identified during whale and dolphin

:02:27.:02:33.

Basically, we want to know what's out there.

:02:34.:02:41.

We need as many eyes as possible on the sea over the National Whale

:02:42.:02:46.

and Dolphin Watch, so we'd like to encourage as many people

:02:47.:02:48.

If anyone can go out there with their families over that

:02:49.:02:52.

nine-day period that starts on Saturday, the more the better.

:02:53.:02:57.

The more data we get on dolphins and the more information

:02:58.:02:59.

We've now been looking for dolphins for six hours.

:03:00.:03:05.

This morning we didn't get any luck, and I was quite disappointed

:03:06.:03:20.

and I really wanted to see a dolphin in the end of the day.

:03:21.:03:24.

And it shows that if you have patience and you wait and you look,

:03:25.:03:27.

Now to one of the biggest and possibly friendliest

:03:28.:03:37.

Roald Dahl's classic book the BFG has been turned into a film.

:03:38.:03:43.

One of the stars of the movie is Ruby Barnhill, who plays

:03:44.:03:51.

Well, Ruby is here in the studio for us

:03:52.:03:53.

Well, loads of our viewers are big Roald Dahl fans and they've sent

:03:54.:03:58.

Hope from Aberfeldy in Scotland asks,

:03:59.:04:01.

"What was it like filming and how did you feel?

:04:02.:04:11.

I was really nervous because I was really unsure about everything but

:04:12.:04:20.

Stephen and the director, Mark who plays the BFG and everyone on made

:04:21.:04:23.

me feel comfortable. That helped a lot.

:04:24.:04:25.

Farah in Surrey asks, "How did it feel to pretend

:04:26.:04:27.

there was an actual giant there when filming?"

:04:28.:04:33.

Mark was there all the time on a lift so they would be somebody to

:04:34.:04:43.

look at, the body movements of the BFG and the physical movements stop

:04:44.:04:48.

but I think most actors and actresses would say it was a bit

:04:49.:04:51.

unusual, but because it was my first film it was quite interesting so I

:04:52.:04:58.

really it. So, it was lovely to play up against something? It would get

:04:59.:05:02.

quite hard sometimes but it was really fun.

:05:03.:05:04.

Isabel in Devon says, "What is your favourite Roald Dahl book?"

:05:05.:05:08.

The first Roald Dahl book I read was fantastic Mr Fox and I still really

:05:09.:05:20.

love that and I also really love George's marvellous... Thank you.

:05:21.:05:26.

Maybe you're planning a trip to the cinema this summer

:05:27.:05:28.

or perhaps you have something else fantastic planned?

:05:29.:05:30.

Whatever you're up to once schools out, we want to know.

:05:31.:05:33.

Tell us over on the Newsround website.

:05:34.:05:35.

Finally, the conservationist getting ready to fly with swans.

:05:36.:05:39.

Sacha Dench is going to go with them as they migrate from

:05:40.:05:42.

She'll do it by using this motor-propelled parachute.

:05:43.:05:45.

It's all to find out why their numbers are in decline.

:05:46.:05:48.

That's it for the morning, Newsround's back with Leah

:05:49.:05:51.
