Hello. We are live.

:00:22.:00:27.

This is Newsround. Good to have you with us. Ore and Leah coming from

:00:27.:00:30.

Newsround HQ in Salford, with everything you need to know packed

:00:30.:00:36.

into the perfect little package. Coming up: Find out why a piece of

:00:36.:00:42.

history is causing a mystery in one sea side town. It is happy hearts

:00:42.:00:48.

as the penguins from New Zealand's oil spill head back into the sea. A

:00:48.:00:54.

new report says harmful gases which damage the Earth have reached

:00:54.:00:59.

harmful levels. The latest figures show, despite all our efforts to be

:01:00.:01:04.

more vehementally friendly, the amount of emissions is increasing

:01:04.:01:07.

faster than any time in history. What is going wrong? Let's take a

:01:07.:01:14.

walk back in time to find out. The Industrial Revolution - a time

:01:14.:01:17.

which a few hundred years ago would change the world.

:01:17.:01:21.

Here in the UK, people left their farmlands in the country to work in

:01:21.:01:26.

massive factories in the city. It sparked the rise of the railways,

:01:26.:01:30.

carting new products up and down the country. It was mainly powered

:01:30.:01:35.

by coal. Scientists worked out that burning all this coal to make power

:01:35.:01:42.

releases a huge amount of gas into the Earth's atmosphere. It is

:01:42.:01:48.

called the greenhouse effect. It is having a huge impact on the planet.

:01:48.:01:52.

When carbon dioxide is released into the atmosphere it remains

:01:52.:01:56.

there for about 100 years. It is trapping the ray's energy, so the

:01:56.:02:00.

atmosphere around the Earth begins to warm up. The icecaps in the

:02:01.:02:06.

north and south pole start to melt. The sea level rise means some towns

:02:06.:02:10.

and villages along the coast will be affected by water, as we have

:02:10.:02:13.

seen flowing down the high street. Countries around the world have

:02:13.:02:18.

been trying to do something about Often meeting to set targets aimed

:02:18.:02:22.

at reducing harmful gases. Environmental campaigners say a lot

:02:22.:02:26.

of the blame could be pinned on countries such as the United States

:02:26.:02:31.

and also China and India, who are having a new Industrial Revolution

:02:31.:02:38.

of their own and creating a lot of if world's greenhouse gases.

:02:38.:02:41.

Experts will plead once again for everyone to do more to look after

:02:41.:02:45.

the future of the planet. The big question is whether the world's

:02:45.:02:51.

biggest countries will listen. Well, from clouds of harmful gases

:02:51.:02:57.

to swarms of angry people. In Egypt chaotic protests are happening in

:02:57.:03:07.

Cairo. Violence broke out in the Hundreds of old warplanes are

buried. Intrigued? Well, I have been finding out more. Dalgety Bay,

:04:13.:04:19.

on the Firth of Forth is a sleepy seaside town. A recent discovery,

:04:19.:04:26.

deep beneath the sand has got everyone talking.

:04:26.:04:31.

Scientists have just detected hundreds of tiny radioactive

:04:31.:04:38.

particles. They have made discovers before, but never on this scale. It

:04:38.:04:43.

is because during the Second World War it was home to an old military

:04:43.:04:49.

airfield. The planes' instrument dials were

:04:49.:04:52.

painted so they could be seen in the dark.

:04:52.:04:57.

It's this that has caused the radioactive ash, dumped on the

:04:57.:05:04.

shore. I can't give you the size of it. It was a huge pile. We were

:05:04.:05:12.

told all the instruments were there. You could still see some bits. Now

:05:12.:05:16.

the ex-Prime Minister, Gordon Brown, is calling for action. He's the

:05:16.:05:22.

local MP. He is worried it could be declared brip's first stretch of

:05:22.:05:30.

come -- Britain's first stretch of contaminated land. The people don't

:05:30.:05:39.

want this contaminated land. Radioactive is measured. Experts

:05:39.:05:47.

say at Dalgety Bay, the level could be above that at 100milli-severts.

:05:47.:05:52.

That is like having 5,000 chest x- rays in hospital. The pressure is

:05:52.:05:55.

on the Government to clean up the mess. They say they have a plan.

:05:55.:06:00.

For the people here, it cannot come soon enough. They are celebrating

:06:00.:06:09.

to the sound of some Happy Feet in New Zealand. The first group of

:06:09.:06:12.

penguins affected by the oil spill were released back into the wild

:06:12.:06:16.

today. They were microchipped so their progress can be monitored

:06:16.:06:22.

over the next year. They love it. We are used to hearing stories

:06:22.:06:26.

about multi-million pound transfer fees. Perhaps none like this before.

:06:26.:06:31.

Sweetie and Sunshine are heading across the world from China to skat

:06:41.:06:46.

and bring in a load of new visitors to the zoo. I would go and see them.

:06:46.:06:56.
:06:56.:06:57.

Don't be surprised if a lot of money is thrown at them.

:06:57.:07:02.

We are talking national pride. We got so many e-mails from you guys.

:07:02.:07:06.

We thought we would read out more. I am not sure about Liam from

:07:06.:07:16.
:07:16.:07:39.

Finally. It is usually the presents underneath the Christmas tree worth

:07:39.:07:46.

cash. Not in this case. This golden tree in Japan is ort over �1.2
