Afternoon all, we're live just after 5 and you're with Newsround. | :00:21. | :00:24. | |
Yes, he's Ore, I'm Nel and here's what you've missed while you've | :00:24. | :00:32. | |
been at school. Drama at sea in this amazing | :00:32. | :00:34. | |
lifeboat rescue. And quieter, greener and comfier. | :00:34. | :00:42. | |
I've been checking out the future of air travel. | :00:42. | :00:45. | |
But before all that, the sad news that's inspired some very positive | :00:45. | :00:49. | |
action. Yes, Claire Squires was taking part in the London Marathon | :00:49. | :00:52. | |
on Sunday when she collapsed. Tragically, she later died. But | :00:52. | :00:55. | |
since her death, people around the UK have donated almost �500,000 to | :00:55. | :00:58. | |
the charity she was running for. And that number's still rising. | :00:58. | :01:06. | |
Here's her story. London holds the world's most | :01:06. | :01:09. | |
famous Marathon - but this year as well as the celebrations from all | :01:09. | :01:13. | |
the people who finished the race, something very sad happened. With | :01:13. | :01:18. | |
just one mile to the finishing line, Claire Squires collapsed and died. | :01:18. | :01:21. | |
Claire, who was 30 and from Leicestershire, was one of more | :01:21. | :01:26. | |
than 37,000 runners who took part in the Marathon. She was fit and | :01:26. | :01:28. | |
healthy and had previously climbed Mount Kilimanjaro to raise money | :01:28. | :01:34. | |
for charity. We still don't know why Claire died. Marathon running | :01:34. | :01:38. | |
is really tough on your body, but it's extremely rare that people die | :01:38. | :01:42. | |
taking part. Before the race, her friends and family had donated �400 | :01:42. | :01:46. | |
to the charity she'd chosen - The Samaritans. But since the news came | :01:46. | :01:50. | |
out that she'd died, the money just kept on rolling in. In their | :01:50. | :01:56. | |
thousands. And from many people who'd never even met her. Even | :01:56. | :01:59. | |
celebrities and famous athletes. Her brother-in-law spoke about what | :02:00. | :02:09. | |
:02:10. | :02:11. | ||
this has meant to the family. just overwhelming, they just can't | :02:11. | :02:15. | |
believe the generosity of the people and what Claire's actually | :02:15. | :02:19. | |
achieved. Something good has fortunately come out of something | :02:19. | :02:25. | |
bad. The Samaritans say that the tragedy is devastating, but they | :02:25. | :02:29. | |
are stunned and overwhelmed from the response from the public, who | :02:29. | :02:34. | |
have been clearly affected by the charity. It seems that as the | :02:34. | :02:38. | |
amount of money raised gets higher and higher, Claire has been an | :02:38. | :02:48. | |
:02:48. | :02:52. | ||
inspiration to thousands of people OK, moving on now and the RSPCA | :02:52. | :02:56. | |
says it's seen a big rise in people being cruel to their pets. Last | :02:56. | :02:59. | |
year, the number of people charged with animal cruelty or neglect went | :02:59. | :03:02. | |
up by nearly a quarter in England and Wales. Dogs, cats and horses | :03:02. | :03:05. | |
are the worst treated. The RSPCA says it's struggling to cope and | :03:05. | :03:08. | |
wants people to think really carefully before they take on an | :03:08. | :03:14. | |
animal as a pet. A lot of people don't ask questions before they get | :03:14. | :03:18. | |
their animal. We found out today who Great | :03:18. | :03:21. | |
Britain's men and women's football teams will play on their way to | :03:21. | :03:26. | |
hopeful Olympic glory this summer. The men have got a tough group. As | :03:26. | :03:29. | |
well as Senegal and the United Arab Emirates, they'll face Uruguay, who | :03:29. | :03:32. | |
are third in the world rankings. Great Britain's women will kick off | :03:32. | :03:41. | |
against New Zealand, then take on But for football fans tonight, all | :03:41. | :03:44. | |
eyes are on the Champions League, because Chelsea are just a game | :03:44. | :03:46. | |
away from the Champions League final. They haven't got that far | :03:46. | :03:50. | |
since Man United beat them four years ago. The Blues go into the | :03:50. | :03:53. | |
second leg of the semis 1-0 up against Barcelona at the Nou Camp. | :03:53. | :04:03. | |
:04:03. | :04:03. | ||
Chelsea are the only British side left in Europe. No pressure then! | :04:03. | :04:09. | |
You do need a little bit of luck on your side to be able to win a | :04:09. | :04:13. | |
competition like this. But certainly the squad that we have at | :04:13. | :04:22. | |
Chelsea and the players that we have I think are very good. Best of | :04:22. | :04:24. | |
luck to them. Check out this nail-biting rescue | :04:24. | :04:27. | |
near Portsmouth. Coastguards were called to help two fishermen whose | :04:27. | :04:30. | |
boat had started to sink because of the bad weather. Seconds after | :04:30. | :04:34. | |
everyone was safe, the boat sank. Doesn't get any closer than that! | :04:35. | :04:38. | |
Next, if you're a big fan of flying but aren't a fan of the jetlag or | :04:39. | :04:41. | |
waking up with that sticky dry mouth, we've got the aircraft for | :04:42. | :04:44. | |
you. Today, touching down in Manchester was one of air travel's | :04:44. | :04:46. | |
newest models that promises a much smoother and environmentally | :04:47. | :04:50. | |
friendly ride. I hopped aboard the plane that could change the way we | :04:50. | :05:00. | |
:05:00. | :05:06. | ||
fly forever. This is the Boeing 787 Dreamliner. It might look like a | :05:06. | :05:11. | |
normal plane but its design is radically different. This is carbon | :05:11. | :05:17. | |
fibre, the same material used to make Formula One cars which we see | :05:17. | :05:23. | |
Lewis Hamilton and Jenson Button Traditionally planes made of albin | :05:23. | :05:28. | |
yum but this plane is made of something much lighter. That means | :05:28. | :05:32. | |
it uses less fuel and it is therefore much more environmentally | :05:32. | :05:38. | |
friendly. But wait until you see the inside. Welcome aboard the 787 | :05:38. | :05:42. | |
Boeing Dreamliner. As you can see, it looks like a regular plane on | :05:42. | :05:46. | |
the inside. It smells like a regular plane. But there are | :05:46. | :05:51. | |
differences. The very creative mood lighting means they can reflect | :05:51. | :05:56. | |
what time of day it is. That can help jet lag. There is more | :05:56. | :06:01. | |
moisture in the air, so you don't get dehide rate. And the windows | :06:01. | :06:06. | |
are massive. Our man in the know is Nico is. This the plane that's | :06:06. | :06:12. | |
going to change the way we see aviation? Yes, definitely. The 787 | :06:12. | :06:17. | |
is a game-changing aeroplane. Carbon fibre is much stronger than | :06:17. | :06:24. | |
any other material used in aviation, so the aeroplane is very safe but a | :06:24. | :06:28. | |
much better-performing aeroplane. Unlike the normal planes, these | :06:28. | :06:33. | |
planes don't have shutters. You can adjust the shade of the window | :06:33. | :06:37. | |
yourself. So if you are in a really tired mood you can let the window | :06:37. | :06:47. | |
:06:47. | :06:48. | ||
I could have stayed there all day. And from one amazing mode of | :06:48. | :06:51. | |
transport to another. Five years ago, the Cutty Sark was almost | :06:51. | :06:54. | |
destroyed by a massive fire. But after �50 million and lots of hard | :06:54. | :06:58. | |
work, the 19th century cargo ship is ready to reopen to the public. | :06:58. | :07:01. | |
The Queen and the Duke Of Edinburgh will do the honours in Greenwich in | :07:01. | :07:10. | |
southeast London tomorrow. She's been around Cape Horn many times. | :07:10. | :07:14. | |
She's been demasted, lots her Rudders. There have been lives lost | :07:14. | :07:20. | |
on this ship but she's come through everything. She is an icon of world | :07:20. | :07:23. | |
heritage. How about this beauty? Tyson has | :07:23. | :07:26. | |
just been crowned top dog in a beautiful bulldog contest. But it | :07:26. | :07:30. | |
wasn't a walk in the park for our Tyson. He was up against some stiff | :07:30. | :07:34. | |
competition. 50 gorgeous doggies made it through to the final, | :07:34. | :07:36. | |
including Rocket Man, Matilda Rose and my personal favourite, Chief | :07:36. | :07:43. | |
McBeef. Head over to our website right now | :07:43. | :07:47. |
