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 | :04:07. | :04:13. | |
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. | |

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. | |
