Hey, guys. | 0:00:03 | 0:00:04 | |
Martin here with all of Thursday morning's big stories. | 0:00:04 | 0:00:07 | |
Coming up: | 0:00:07 | 0:00:08 | |
The mission to save one of the world's | 0:00:08 | 0:00:10 | |
largest frog species. | 0:00:10 | 0:00:12 | |
And the Iceland football commentator who's just a little bit happy. | 0:00:12 | 0:00:16 | |
COMMENTATOR SCREAMS IN JOY. | 0:00:16 | 0:00:21 | |
First, to a big story, in more ways than one. | 0:00:29 | 0:00:33 | |
The world's tallest and longest tunnel slide is opening | 0:00:33 | 0:00:36 | |
in London tomorrow. | 0:00:36 | 0:00:38 | |
It's been built on the Orbit sculpture at the park | 0:00:38 | 0:00:40 | |
where the London 2012 Olympics took place and Ayshah's one | 0:00:40 | 0:00:42 | |
of the first to have a go on it. | 0:00:42 | 0:00:44 | |
Since the Games finished, the site has been transformed and has hosted | 0:00:44 | 0:00:47 | |
lots of other sporting events. | 0:00:47 | 0:00:50 | |
But what could this huge sculpture be turned into? | 0:00:50 | 0:00:53 | |
A giant slide, of course. | 0:00:53 | 0:00:55 | |
We were first asked about it two years ago. | 0:00:55 | 0:00:57 | |
They said, is it possible to have a slide? | 0:00:57 | 0:00:59 | |
The answer is of course yes, we want to have a slide. | 0:00:59 | 0:01:02 | |
How did you go about doing it? | 0:01:02 | 0:01:03 | |
We had to track it out. | 0:01:03 | 0:01:05 | |
We went down some other big slides and any had to | 0:01:05 | 0:01:07 | |
work out how to go the right speed. | 0:01:07 | 0:01:09 | |
If you add in corners, as you are pushed out into the | 0:01:09 | 0:01:12 | |
corner that helps you go down a bit and so the corners are not just | 0:01:12 | 0:01:16 | |
for fun, they help control the speed on the way down. | 0:01:16 | 0:01:19 | |
There's only one thing for it. | 0:01:19 | 0:01:20 | |
I'm going to have to slide down. | 0:01:20 | 0:01:22 | |
But not for fun because I am a serious news journalist | 0:01:22 | 0:01:24 | |
so I'm going to be getting you all the facts you need | 0:01:24 | 0:01:27 | |
to know while I'm sliding down. | 0:01:27 | 0:01:30 | |
It goes round 12 times and is taller than the Statue of Liberty. | 0:01:30 | 0:01:38 | |
I'm going 15 miles an hour right now but | 0:01:38 | 0:01:41 | |
it feels so much faster. | 0:01:41 | 0:01:43 | |
And I can't remember any of the other facts | 0:01:43 | 0:01:46 | |
because I'm going way too fast! | 0:01:46 | 0:01:51 | |
Wait, it is 111 beads. | 0:01:51 | 0:01:53 | |
The things I do for Newsround. | 0:01:53 | 0:01:57 | |
OK, time for a quick round-up of some other | 0:01:57 | 0:01:59 | |
top stories this morning. | 0:01:59 | 0:02:01 | |
Some of you may have had your schools turned | 0:02:01 | 0:02:03 | |
into polling stations today. | 0:02:03 | 0:02:05 | |
It's because of the massive vote for adults on whether the UK | 0:02:05 | 0:02:07 | |
should stay in, or leave, a club of countries called | 0:02:07 | 0:02:10 | |
the European Union. | 0:02:10 | 0:02:12 | |
Voting ends at 10pm and we'll bring you the result | 0:02:12 | 0:02:14 | |
tomorrow on Newsround. | 0:02:14 | 0:02:16 | |
A plan to save one of the world's most endangered frogs has started | 0:02:16 | 0:02:19 | |
in the north of England. | 0:02:19 | 0:02:20 | |
Wild mountain chicken frogs have almost been wiped out by disease | 0:02:20 | 0:02:23 | |
but conservationists have created a climate-controlled home | 0:02:23 | 0:02:28 | |
in a shipping container at Chester Zoo and matched up pairs | 0:02:28 | 0:02:31 | |
of the frogs in the hope that they'll breed. | 0:02:31 | 0:02:34 | |
And an unseen map of Lord of the Rings' Middle Earth has been | 0:02:34 | 0:02:37 | |
discovered after it fell out of some of creator JRR Tolkien's archives. | 0:02:37 | 0:02:41 | |
It has handwritten notes from Tolkien himself | 0:02:41 | 0:02:44 | |
marking where he thought additional animals, settlements | 0:02:44 | 0:02:47 | |
and rivers would be. | 0:02:47 | 0:02:49 | |
The map is going on display in Oxford for one day. | 0:02:49 | 0:02:55 | |
Well, the group stages are finally over and there | 0:02:55 | 0:03:05 | |
Of course, the best thing about it is that all three home | 0:03:05 | 0:03:07 | |
nations competing in France have qualified for the last 16. | 0:03:07 | 0:03:10 | |
So, before we get stuck in to the knockout stages, | 0:03:10 | 0:03:12 | |
here's Naz with a look back at Wales, England | 0:03:12 | 0:03:14 | |
and Northern Ireland's journey so far. | 0:03:14 | 0:03:16 | |
Bale for Wales. | 0:03:16 | 0:03:17 | |
In! | 0:03:17 | 0:03:18 | |
Wales kick-started their Euro campaign in style with none other | 0:03:18 | 0:03:20 | |
than Gareth Bale getting their first goal of the competition | 0:03:20 | 0:03:23 | |
against Slovakia. | 0:03:23 | 0:03:24 | |
Despite conceding, Robson-Kanu was the saviour and three points | 0:03:24 | 0:03:26 | |
on the board for the Welsh. | 0:03:26 | 0:03:27 | |
We should have known! | 0:03:27 | 0:03:30 | |
Newsround's match-predicting cockerel Pierre already did. | 0:03:30 | 0:03:33 | |
England, on the other hand, were frustrated by Russia at | 0:03:33 | 0:03:36 | |
the Stade Velodrome in Marseille in their opening match. | 0:03:36 | 0:03:38 | |
Despite going ahead thanks to Eric Dier in the 73rd minute, | 0:03:38 | 0:03:41 | |
late in stoppage time, Russia struck back with this. | 0:03:41 | 0:03:48 | |
Once again, another opening match in a major tournament | 0:03:48 | 0:03:50 | |
without a win for Hodgson's side. | 0:03:50 | 0:03:54 | |
It wasn't the best of starts for Northern Ireland either | 0:03:54 | 0:03:56 | |
with their first match in the European Championship finals | 0:03:56 | 0:04:01 | |
ending in defeat as Poland got a 1-0 win in Nice. | 0:04:01 | 0:04:06 | |
But in the second match in Lyon, | 0:04:06 | 0:04:08 | |
their performance was quite the opposite. | 0:04:08 | 0:04:09 | |
Two goals versus the Ukraine and their first-ever win in a Euro | 0:04:09 | 0:04:14 | |
finals was complete. | 0:04:14 | 0:04:17 | |
England and Wales' second match was a game on | 0:04:17 | 0:04:19 | |
the grandest of scales and what a start it was for Wales | 0:04:19 | 0:04:23 | |
and that man again. | 0:04:23 | 0:04:26 | |
At the break it was 1-0 but in the second half goals from | 0:04:26 | 0:04:30 | |
Vardy and Sturridge snatched victory from the jaws of defeat. | 0:04:30 | 0:04:34 | |
Did Pierre get that one right? | 0:04:34 | 0:04:35 | |
Of course he did. | 0:04:35 | 0:04:39 | |
England and Wales' final group games kicked off at the same time. | 0:04:39 | 0:04:41 | |
England faced Slovakia while Wales took on Russia. | 0:04:41 | 0:04:46 | |
It was Wales who impressed. | 0:04:46 | 0:04:48 | |
Three goals versus Russia and it was top spot in | 0:04:48 | 0:04:51 | |
the group if England couldn't get a winner. | 0:04:51 | 0:04:55 | |
And sure enough, despite several chances, England | 0:04:55 | 0:04:57 | |
were left frustrated. | 0:04:57 | 0:05:00 | |
0-0 on the night, second place for the Three Lions. | 0:05:00 | 0:05:03 | |
Northern Ireland travelled to Paris for their final group match | 0:05:03 | 0:05:06 | |
against world champions Germany. | 0:05:06 | 0:05:09 | |
Surely not, Pierre? | 0:05:09 | 0:05:12 | |
Pierre says no and he was right. | 0:05:12 | 0:05:15 | |
Mario Gomez scored the game's only goal but, despite the loss, | 0:05:15 | 0:05:19 | |
Northern Ireland still advanced to the last 16 as one of | 0:05:19 | 0:05:21 | |
the best third place finishes. | 0:05:21 | 0:05:24 | |
Bring on the knockout stages. | 0:05:24 | 0:05:28 | |
Well, I'm pretty happy they've all made it through but definitely | 0:05:28 | 0:05:31 | |
not as happy as this commentator for Iceland. | 0:05:31 | 0:05:34 | |
COMMENTATOR SCREAMS IN JOY. | 0:05:34 | 0:05:42 | |
He erupted with joy after Iceland scored a last-minute winner | 0:05:42 | 0:05:45 | |
against Austria to get past the group stage. | 0:05:45 | 0:05:50 | |
That's all from me. | 0:05:50 | 0:05:52 | |
Newsround's back on TV this afternoon with Hayley. | 0:05:52 | 0:05:58 |
