New clues about where the Loch Ness monster might be hiding.

:00:00.:00:17.

And a marathon a day over six days - the big Sport Relief

:00:18.:00:20.

First this morning, were children forced to work to make the parts

:00:21.:00:31.

for your smartphone, tablets or other devices?

:00:32.:00:34.

It's happening in parts of Africa right now and campaigners say that

:00:35.:00:38.

big tech companies aren't doing enough to stop it.

:00:39.:00:42.

To make smartphone batteries you need cobalt.

:00:43.:00:46.

A few places you can find it is deep underground in Central Africa.

:00:47.:00:53.

Many children there are forced to work in mines to make

:00:54.:00:57.

money for their families because the country is very poor.

:00:58.:00:59.

There are not enough checks by the government

:01:00.:01:01.

Mining can be extremely dangerous and children

:01:02.:01:05.

often work long hours in cramped conditions without proper protective

:01:06.:01:09.

In many cases, they literally dig out tunnels and mines by hand

:01:10.:01:16.

One miner told us that the mine he dug was 50 metres

:01:17.:01:25.

deep and that it took him 15 minutes to get from the bottom to the top.

:01:26.:01:29.

A campaign group has been investigating and says phone

:01:30.:01:34.

companies aren't doing enough to make sure the cobalt

:01:35.:01:36.

in their phones hasn't come from children working in mines.

:01:37.:01:40.

They say it includes very big smartphone companies.

:01:41.:01:45.

The companies says they have a zero tolerance

:01:46.:01:48.

policy, but now they are being asked to check whether parts

:01:49.:01:53.

In the north east of America, people have been told to prepare

:01:54.:02:07.

Some 50 million people could be affected by the "monster storm,"

:02:08.:02:11.

which is expected to cause terrible blizzards and white-out conditions

:02:12.:02:13.

in some states and bring traffic to a standstill.

:02:14.:02:16.

As much as two feet of snow is expected in some areas.

:02:17.:02:19.

We will cook and play board games all weekend.

:02:20.:02:21.

I have been living here for 40 years and nothing is different.

:02:22.:02:30.

Sometimes the storm doesn't come, but in case it does,

:02:31.:02:33.

From snow to rain - if you don't like it

:02:34.:02:38.

when the weather's wet imagine how you'd feel if it rained every single

:02:39.:02:42.

Well, that's what happened in this village in Pembrokeshire in Wales.

:02:43.:02:46.

It was wet for 85 days in a row very nearly matching the record

:02:47.:02:49.

Luckily, this week the bad weather broke and they finally had

:02:50.:02:55.

So we asked some children living there what they thought

:02:56.:02:59.

We feel happy because we can go out to now and have exercise but we feel

:03:00.:03:06.

disappointed because we wanted to break the record of 89 days.

:03:07.:03:12.

Yeah, it would have been nice to break the record and have this

:03:13.:03:15.

I was looking forward to us being in Guiness Book of Records.

:03:16.:03:27.

I really thought we would beat the record but, unfortunately,

:03:28.:03:29.

We can go outside again and play, but it's just started again so it's

:03:30.:03:36.

Where the Loch Ness monster might be hiding is a question that's puzzled

:03:37.:03:46.

But a new discovery might just help solve the mystery.

:03:47.:03:50.

Eight miles east of Inverness in the Scottish Highlands

:03:51.:03:54.

A beautiful sight, but what lurks beneath the surface?

:03:55.:03:59.

There have been lots of supposed sightings of what has been nicked

:04:00.:04:03.

a name Nessie and endless theories about what he or she might look

:04:04.:04:06.

like and where the monster might live.

:04:07.:04:11.

It's led to quite a few missions to try to work out what's

:04:12.:04:14.

Now, a retired fisherman is using special sonar equipment

:04:15.:04:20.

Until now, the loch was thought to be 229.8 metres deep,

:04:21.:04:28.

but by measuring signals sent from his boat and different

:04:29.:04:32.

locations, he says he's discovered a crevice that goes much deeper.

:04:33.:04:41.

According to him, that's plenty of room for a monster to hang out.

:04:42.:04:45.

The findings haven't been officially checked yet,

:04:46.:04:46.

but it's got a lot of people talking about whether we are a step closer

:04:47.:04:50.

to meeting Scotland's most famous monster.

:04:51.:04:55.

To football now and are Manchester United be looking

:04:56.:05:00.

for a new manager? There have been reports from France

:05:01.:05:04.

that a meeting took place in Paris last week between the club

:05:05.:05:06.

and Bayern Munich manager, Pep Guardiola, about the possibility

:05:07.:05:09.

of him replacing the current boss, Louis Van Gaal.

:05:10.:05:12.

But Manchester United say that the story isn't true.

:05:13.:05:18.

Comedian Jo Brand starts her Sport Relief challenge today,

:05:19.:05:23.

walking from Hull to Liverpool. It all kicks off later this morning.

:05:24.:05:26.

She'll walk the equivalent of a marathon a day over six days.

:05:27.:05:30.

Jo is doing the walk to raise awareness about the work

:05:31.:05:32.

Sport Relief does. Good luck!

:05:33.:05:34.

Three baby otters are being cared for at a wildlife hospital

:05:35.:05:36.

in Florida in America after being found at a building site

:05:37.:05:39.

when builders were digging up a driveway.

:05:40.:05:43.

The five-week-old pups are doing well but still need six feeds each

:05:44.:05:44.
