:00:22. > :00:27.Hello. We are live.

:00:27. > :00:30.This is Newsround. Good to have you with us. Ore and Leah coming from

:00:30. > :00:36.Newsround HQ in Salford, with everything you need to know packed

:00:36. > :00:42.into the perfect little package. Coming up: Find out why a piece of

:00:42. > :00:48.history is causing a mystery in one sea side town. It is happy hearts

:00:48. > :00:54.as the penguins from New Zealand's oil spill head back into the sea. A

:00:54. > :00:59.new report says harmful gases which damage the Earth have reached

:01:00. > :01:04.harmful levels. The latest figures show, despite all our efforts to be

:01:04. > :01:07.more vehementally friendly, the amount of emissions is increasing

:01:07. > :01:14.faster than any time in history. What is going wrong? Let's take a

:01:14. > :01:17.walk back in time to find out. The Industrial Revolution - a time

:01:17. > :01:21.which a few hundred years ago would change the world.

:01:21. > :01:26.Here in the UK, people left their farmlands in the country to work in

:01:26. > :01:30.massive factories in the city. It sparked the rise of the railways,

:01:30. > :01:35.carting new products up and down the country. It was mainly powered

:01:35. > :01:42.by coal. Scientists worked out that burning all this coal to make power

:01:42. > :01:48.releases a huge amount of gas into the Earth's atmosphere. It is

:01:48. > :01:52.called the greenhouse effect. It is having a huge impact on the planet.

:01:52. > :01:56.When carbon dioxide is released into the atmosphere it remains

:01:56. > :02:00.there for about 100 years. It is trapping the ray's energy, so the

:02:01. > :02:06.atmosphere around the Earth begins to warm up. The icecaps in the

:02:06. > :02:10.north and south pole start to melt. The sea level rise means some towns

:02:10. > :02:13.and villages along the coast will be affected by water, as we have

:02:13. > :02:18.seen flowing down the high street. Countries around the world have

:02:18. > :02:22.been trying to do something about Often meeting to set targets aimed

:02:22. > :02:26.at reducing harmful gases. Environmental campaigners say a lot

:02:26. > :02:31.of the blame could be pinned on countries such as the United States

:02:31. > :02:38.and also China and India, who are having a new Industrial Revolution

:02:38. > :02:41.of their own and creating a lot of if world's greenhouse gases.

:02:41. > :02:45.Experts will plead once again for everyone to do more to look after

:02:45. > :02:51.the future of the planet. The big question is whether the world's

:02:51. > :02:57.biggest countries will listen. Well, from clouds of harmful gases

:02:57. > :03:07.to swarms of angry people. In Egypt chaotic protests are happening in

:04:07. > :04:13.Cairo. Violence broke out in the Hundreds of old warplanes are

:04:13. > :04:19.buried. Intrigued? Well, I have been finding out more. Dalgety Bay,

:04:19. > :04:26.on the Firth of Forth is a sleepy seaside town. A recent discovery,

:04:26. > :04:31.deep beneath the sand has got everyone talking.

:04:31. > :04:38.Scientists have just detected hundreds of tiny radioactive

:04:38. > :04:43.particles. They have made discovers before, but never on this scale. It

:04:43. > :04:49.is because during the Second World War it was home to an old military

:04:49. > :04:52.airfield. The planes' instrument dials were

:04:52. > :04:57.painted so they could be seen in the dark.

:04:57. > :05:04.It's this that has caused the radioactive ash, dumped on the

:05:04. > :05:12.shore. I can't give you the size of it. It was a huge pile. We were

:05:12. > :05:16.told all the instruments were there. You could still see some bits. Now

:05:16. > :05:22.the ex-Prime Minister, Gordon Brown, is calling for action. He's the

:05:22. > :05:30.local MP. He is worried it could be declared brip's first stretch of

:05:30. > :05:39.come -- Britain's first stretch of contaminated land. The people don't

:05:39. > :05:47.want this contaminated land. Radioactive is measured. Experts

:05:47. > :05:52.say at Dalgety Bay, the level could be above that at 100milli-severts.

:05:52. > :05:55.That is like having 5,000 chest x- rays in hospital. The pressure is

:05:55. > :06:00.on the Government to clean up the mess. They say they have a plan.

:06:00. > :06:09.For the people here, it cannot come soon enough. They are celebrating

:06:09. > :06:12.to the sound of some Happy Feet in New Zealand. The first group of

:06:12. > :06:16.penguins affected by the oil spill were released back into the wild

:06:16. > :06:22.today. They were microchipped so their progress can be monitored

:06:22. > :06:26.over the next year. They love it. We are used to hearing stories

:06:26. > :06:31.about multi-million pound transfer fees. Perhaps none like this before.

:06:31. > :06:36.Sweetie and Sunshine are heading across the world from China to skat

:06:36. > :06:41.land in a deal worth �500,000 -- Scotland in a deal worth �500,000 a

:06:41. > :06:46.year. They are being loaned for ten years. Keepers want to breed them

:06:46. > :06:56.and bring in a load of new visitors to the zoo. I would go and see them.

:06:56. > :06:57.

:06:57. > :07:02.Don't be surprised if a lot of money is thrown at them.

:07:02. > :07:06.We are talking national pride. We got so many e-mails from you guys.

:07:06. > :07:16.We thought we would read out more. I am not sure about Liam from

:07:16. > :07:39.

:07:39. > :07:46.Finally. It is usually the presents underneath the Christmas tree worth

:07:46. > :07:51.cash. Not in this case. This golden tree in Japan is ort over �1.2
