0:00:11 > 0:00:12Good morning, everyone.
0:00:12 > 0:00:14Martin here with all the latest.
0:00:14 > 0:00:18One of the world's tallest and longest tunnel slides
0:00:18 > 0:00:20is opening in London tomorrow.
0:00:20 > 0:00:24It's been built on the Orbit sculpture at the park
0:00:24 > 0:00:27where the London 2012 Olympics took place and Ayshah's one
0:00:27 > 0:00:28of the first to have a go on it.
0:00:29 > 0:00:32Since the Games finished, the site has been transformed and has hosted
0:00:32 > 0:00:33lots of other sporting events.
0:00:33 > 0:00:35But what could this huge sculpture be turned into?
0:00:35 > 0:00:37A giant slide, of course.
0:00:37 > 0:00:39We were first asked about it two years ago.
0:00:39 > 0:00:42They said, is it possible to have a slide?
0:00:42 > 0:00:45The answer is of course yes, we want to have a slide.
0:00:45 > 0:00:46How did you go about doing it?
0:00:46 > 0:00:48We had to track it out.
0:00:48 > 0:00:51We went down some other big slides and any had to
0:00:51 > 0:00:54work out how to go the right speed.
0:00:54 > 0:00:57If you add in corners, as you are pushed out into the
0:00:57 > 0:01:00corner that helps you go down a bit and so the corners are not just
0:01:00 > 0:01:03for fun, they help control the speed on the way down.
0:01:03 > 0:01:04There's only one thing for it.
0:01:04 > 0:01:06I'm going to have to slide down.
0:01:06 > 0:01:09But not for fun because I am a serious news journalist
0:01:09 > 0:01:12so I'm going to be getting you all the facts you need
0:01:12 > 0:01:13to know while I'm sliding down.
0:01:13 > 0:01:20It goes round 12 times and is taller than the Statue of Liberty.
0:01:20 > 0:01:23I'm going 15 miles an hour right now but
0:01:23 > 0:01:26it feels so much faster.
0:01:26 > 0:01:28And I can't remember any of the other facts
0:01:28 > 0:01:36because I'm going way too fast!
0:01:39 > 0:01:41The things I do for Newsround.
0:01:41 > 0:01:43Now, some of you may have had your schools turned
0:01:43 > 0:01:44into polling stations today.
0:01:44 > 0:01:48It's because of the massive vote for adults on whether the UK
0:01:48 > 0:01:51should stay in, or leave, a club of countries called
0:01:51 > 0:01:52the European Union.
0:01:52 > 0:01:55Voting stops at 10pm tonight and we'll bring you the result
0:01:55 > 0:01:57tomorrow on Newsround.
0:01:57 > 0:02:00To sporting results now - the Euros group stages are over
0:02:00 > 0:02:05and the good news is that the three competing home nations are through.
0:02:05 > 0:02:07We now know Wales will be facing Northern Ireland next
0:02:07 > 0:02:09while England will take on Iceland.
0:02:09 > 0:02:13Let's take a look back at the home nations' journey so far with Naz.
0:02:13 > 0:02:15Bale for Wales.
0:02:15 > 0:02:16In!
0:02:16 > 0:02:18Wales kick-started their Euro campaign in style with none other
0:02:18 > 0:02:21than Gareth Bale getting their first goal of the competition
0:02:21 > 0:02:23against Slovakia.
0:02:23 > 0:02:26Despite conceding, Robson-Kanu was the saviour and three points
0:02:26 > 0:02:31on the board for the Welsh.
0:02:31 > 0:02:33We should have known!
0:02:33 > 0:02:37Newsround's match-predicting cockerel Pierre already did.
0:02:37 > 0:02:39England, on the other hand, were frustrated by Russia at
0:02:39 > 0:02:42the Stade Velodrome in Marseille in their opening match.
0:02:42 > 0:02:45Despite going ahead thanks to Eric Dier in the 73rd minute,
0:02:45 > 0:02:51late in stoppage time, Russia struck back with this.
0:02:51 > 0:02:53Once again, another opening match in a major tournament
0:02:53 > 0:02:56without a win for Hodgson's side.
0:02:56 > 0:02:59It wasn't the best of starts for Northern Ireland either
0:02:59 > 0:03:03with their first match in the European Championship finals
0:03:03 > 0:03:08ending in defeat as Poland got a 1-0 win in Nice.
0:03:08 > 0:03:10But in the second match in Lyon,
0:03:10 > 0:03:13their performance was quite the opposite.
0:03:13 > 0:03:16Two goals versus the Ukraine and their first-ever win in a Euro
0:03:16 > 0:03:19finals was complete.
0:03:19 > 0:03:22England and Wales' second match was a game on
0:03:22 > 0:03:25the grandest of scales and what a start it was for Wales
0:03:25 > 0:03:30and that man again.
0:03:30 > 0:03:34At the break it was 1-0 but in the second half goals from
0:03:34 > 0:03:40Vardy and Sturridge snatched victory from the jaws of defeat.
0:03:40 > 0:03:42Did Pierre get that one right?
0:03:42 > 0:03:43Of course he did.
0:03:43 > 0:03:46England and Wales' final group games kicked off at the same time.
0:03:46 > 0:03:49England faced Slovakia while Wales took on Russia.
0:03:49 > 0:03:52It was Wales who impressed.
0:03:52 > 0:03:54Three goals versus Russia and it was top spot in
0:03:54 > 0:03:58the group if England couldn't get a winner.
0:03:58 > 0:04:00And sure enough, despite several chances, England
0:04:00 > 0:04:02were left frustrated.
0:04:02 > 0:04:070-0 on the night, second place for the Three Lions.
0:04:07 > 0:04:09Northern Ireland travelled to Paris for their final group match
0:04:09 > 0:04:12against world champions Germany.
0:04:12 > 0:04:15Surely not, Pierre?
0:04:15 > 0:04:17Pierre says no and he was right.
0:04:17 > 0:04:20Mario Gomez scored the game's only goal but, despite the loss,
0:04:20 > 0:04:24Northern Ireland still advanced to the last 16 as one of
0:04:24 > 0:04:27the best third place finishes.
0:04:27 > 0:04:31Bring on the knockout stages.
0:04:31 > 0:04:34Well, I'm pretty happy they've all made it through but definitely
0:04:34 > 0:04:44not as happy as this commentator for Iceland.
0:04:51 > 0:04:51Macro
0:04:51 > 0:04:52COMMENTATOR
0:04:52 > 0:04:52COMMENTATOR SCREAMS
0:04:52 > 0:04:52COMMENTATOR SCREAMS IN
0:04:52 > 0:04:57COMMENTATOR SCREAMS IN JOY.
0:04:57 > 0:04:58That's all from me.
0:04:58 > 0:05:01Newsround's back right here in about half an hour.
