Good morning, I'm Ayshah, and I've got your Wednesday headlines.

:00:00.:00:22.

A giant panda checking out her new home.

:00:23.:00:25.

And the royals hit the DJ decks down under. This is Newsround.

:00:26.:00:41.

First, to a very special birthday. 450 years ago today a man was born

:00:42.:00:45.

who many say was the greatest writer ever to pick up a quill - playwright

:00:46.:00:48.

William Shakespeare. Celebrations will be taking place up and down the

:00:49.:00:52.

country to mark the anniversary, including a fireworks display in his

:00:53.:00:55.

home town of Stratford-upon-Avon. He's credited with inventing

:00:56.:00:57.

thousands of words we use today, like "swagger" and "fashionable",

:00:58.:01:01.

but his legacy has far more to it than that, as Nel's been finding

:01:02.:01:03.

out. Many people think William

:01:04.:01:04.

Shakespeare was the greatest British writer of all time. We know that he

:01:05.:01:07.

looks something like this, but because he worked so long ago much

:01:08.:01:10.

of his life is still a mystery. Shakespeare wrote a block Astor

:01:11.:01:12.

Place of his day, he wrote about good things and saplings, happy

:01:13.:01:14.

things and scary things -- the blockbuster plays of his day. He

:01:15.:01:20.

knew how to make people laugh and cry. You would sit and look at the

:01:21.:01:25.

play and gasp. Shakespeare is thought to have invented over 2000

:01:26.:01:31.

words including horrid, lonely and majestic. He is also responsible for

:01:32.:01:35.

phrases like in a pickle and vanished into thin a. Our language

:01:36.:01:44.

would not be the same without him. Shakespeare is like learning a new

:01:45.:01:47.

language when you read it. Shakespeare makes you laugh and

:01:48.:01:51.

cry, that's important for a writer. Ray mac it has got old English,

:01:52.:01:57.

which you may not understand. If you really think about it then you can

:01:58.:02:01.

understand most of it. His work proves timeless. His plays and

:02:02.:02:09.

hundreds of homes are taught in schools and performed in theatres

:02:10.:02:21.

around the world. A day after David Moyes was sacked

:02:22.:02:24.

as Manchester United manager the focus is now turning to who will

:02:25.:02:28.

replace him. Ryan Giggs has been put in charge temporarily until the end

:02:29.:02:31.

of the season with Netherlands boss Louis van Gaal and Borussia Dortmund

:02:32.:02:35.

coach Jurgen Klopp some of the names suggested. But Bayern Munich manager

:02:36.:02:38.

Pep Guardiola has ruled himself out of the job.

:02:39.:02:40.

I am here, I am in Bayern Munich and I will stay two more years. We won

:02:41.:02:50.

the Bundesliga, but I feel that our team can be better.

:02:51.:02:56.

To last night's football, and Chelsea fought hard to hold Atletico

:02:57.:03:00.

Madrid to a 0-0 draw in their Champions League semifinal first

:03:01.:03:02.

leg. But at what cost? Goalkeeper Petr Cech took a tough fall in the

:03:03.:03:06.

first half and had to be stretchered off. And captain John Terry also had

:03:07.:03:10.

a nasty tumble after half-time and had to come off too. Both players

:03:11.:03:14.

are out for the rest of the season, and Frank Lampard and John Obi Mikel

:03:15.:03:18.

are suspended for next week's return leg too.

:03:19.:03:24.

We had problems before the game, we had daughters during the game. We

:03:25.:03:28.

lost for players during the game, two with injuries and two with

:03:29.:03:40.

yellow cards. But we will fight. Sticking with sport, Newsround's off

:03:41.:03:43.

to meet Andy Murray later today. And if you've ever wanted to ask him

:03:44.:03:46.

anything now's your chance, because he's also taking part in a live

:03:47.:03:49.

online chat. The Wimbledon Champion will be taking questions from

:03:50.:03:52.

youngsters across the UK live at 2pm today. You can find out how to ask

:03:53.:03:57.

him a question on the BBC Get Inspired website.

:03:58.:04:02.

Now, to some DJ-ing Down Under for the Duke and Duchess of Cambridge.

:04:03.:04:10.

They took to the decks while visiting a music project in Adelaide

:04:11.:04:13.

on day 17 of their tour of Australia and New Zealand, though young Prince

:04:14.:04:17.

George wasn't with them for this visit. The couple also watched rap,

:04:18.:04:20.

hip hop and Aboriginal dance performances, and chatted to young

:04:21.:04:21.

artists. Next, a female panda bred in

:04:22.:04:24.

captivity has been successfully released into the wild in southwest

:04:25.:04:27.

China. Zhang Xiang is enjoying her new surroundings and gaining weight.

:04:28.:04:30.

It's part of a continuing programme, which aims to release more

:04:31.:04:33.

captive-bred pandas into their natural habitats. Giant pandas are

:04:34.:04:36.

one of the world's most endangered animals with only around 1,500

:04:37.:04:46.

living in the wild in China. As well as being Shakespeare's

:04:47.:04:49.

birthday today, it's also St George's Day, celebrating the patron

:04:50.:04:52.

saint of England. But how much do you know about St George? The

:04:53.:04:56.

Newsround website is the place to go try our quiz all about him.

:04:57.:05:00.

That's all from me, Leah's back in Newsround HQ this afternoon.
