First, let's get straight to the football, with two English

:00:24.:00:26.

teams involved in the Europa league last night.

:00:27.:00:29.

World record signing Paul Pogba scored twice for Man United,

:00:30.:00:33.

as they coasted to a comfortable 4-1 victory over Turkish

:00:34.:00:35.

Ex-United favourite Robin van Persie got a consolation goal.

:00:36.:00:49.

Despite creating loads of chances, they couldn't manage to find the net

:00:50.:00:57.

and slipped to a 1-0 defeat. Church services took place last

:00:58.:01:02.

night to mark 50 years since the Aberfan disaster,

:01:03.:01:05.

when a waste heap collapsed in the Welsh mining

:01:06.:01:07.

village of Aberfan. 144 people died, and there was a big

:01:08.:01:09.

investigation into what happened. After the disaster, new laws

:01:10.:01:13.

were brought in to make sure that nothing like this

:01:14.:01:15.

would ever happen again. More than 50 years ago the region

:01:16.:01:19.

was an important source of coal - the material used to heat

:01:20.:01:25.

homes and power trains. The area was heavily mined,

:01:26.:01:30.

and for years the leftover soil, dug out with the coal,

:01:31.:01:34.

was heaped up in big piles But the ground the waste was piled

:01:35.:01:37.

up on wasn't stable. It soaked up water,

:01:38.:01:42.

loosening the rock below. Then on the 21st of October 1966,

:01:43.:01:45.

the build-up of waste suddenly collapsed, and slid down

:01:46.:01:50.

into the surrounding area covering Huge rescue efforts were made,

:01:51.:01:53.

but a lot of people died. This memorial garden is one

:01:54.:02:01.

of the ways people in Aberfan Jeff Edwards was at the school

:02:02.:02:04.

when the disaster happened. How did it change your community?

:02:05.:02:24.

In 1966 it was a very thriving community. If you look at it today,

:02:25.:02:29.

it is still very bright -- vibrant, a new generation have come about,

:02:30.:02:34.

and I think it is important for the people that the community has a

:02:35.:02:36.

future. And those children are our future.

:02:37.:02:40.

Before the disaster happened, there had been questions raised

:02:41.:02:42.

about how safe the waste pile was - but nothing was changed.

:02:43.:02:45.

Afterwards, an investigation found that the National Coal Board,

:02:46.:02:47.

who owned the waste tip, were at fault for

:02:48.:02:49.

The disaster here in Aberfan was devastating for many families.

:02:50.:02:57.

People around the country were shocked about what happened.

:02:58.:03:00.

As a result, new safety rules about mines and quarries

:03:01.:03:02.

were made to make schools, villages and the areas around them

:03:03.:03:05.

safe and to stop anything like this happening again.

:03:06.:03:08.

At this school in Aberfan, children have been remembering

:03:09.:03:10.

I think it is important, because it was a big thing that happened, and

:03:11.:03:26.

we don't want it to happen again. We have Assembly, we do work on it

:03:27.:03:30.

in class. It is emotional, because if you

:03:31.:03:34.

think about all the people who lost their lives, at such a young age, it

:03:35.:03:39.

is very sad. But we look at the happy side and look at the future

:03:40.:03:44.

and remember them in that way, not in the past.

:03:45.:03:51.

We have been doing a painting of the village's future. I painted the

:03:52.:03:55.

Memorial garden and the yard. If you want to know more

:03:56.:04:00.

:04:11.:04:17.

of the Savannasaurus elliottorum were first found in the state

:04:18.:04:22.

of Queensland in Australia in 2005. This cute baby rhino has been

:04:23.:04:25.

born at a zoo in the US. The endangered eastern black

:04:26.:04:30.

rhino delighted keepers It's thought there only

:04:31.:04:32.

1,000 black rhinos left in captivity and the wild -

:04:33.:04:35.

making this birth extra special. Finally, two giant pandas will be

:04:36.:04:39.

released back into the wild today after three years

:04:40.:04:42.

of survival training. The pandas were raised

:04:43.:04:43.

in China's Panda Protection and Research Centre,

:04:44.:04:45.

but keepers now want the animals to return

:04:46.:04:47.

to their natural habitat. That's all from me, Newsround's back
