:00:00. > :00:00.Good afternoon! I'm Ricky coming live and direct from Newsround HQ.

:00:07. > :00:10.Coming up... Where's your mummy An amazing discovery in South America.

:00:11. > :00:13.Say cheese! We check out the official snaps from Prince George's

:00:14. > :00:23.christening, and monkeys on the loose! This could only be Newsround.

:00:24. > :00:27.First, we're talking top secret reports and spying. A newspaper s

:00:28. > :00:30.been given a secret letter suggesting America regularly spied

:00:31. > :00:34.on dozens of world leaders, by listening into their phone calls.

:00:35. > :00:37.This story's got bigger after yesterday's news that Germany's

:00:38. > :00:40.leader was said to be upset with US President Barack Obama after being

:00:41. > :00:44.told his spies had hacked into her mobile. Germany and America are

:00:45. > :00:48.supposed to be good friends. So what's the point of spying on people

:00:49. > :00:51.if you're supposed to like them And what's Britain's take on it?

:00:52. > :00:55.Ayshah's been investigating. When most of us think of spying we

:00:56. > :01:06.probably think of something like this. But actually spying can be

:01:07. > :01:12.carried out in lots of ways and this time the row is about this. A secret

:01:13. > :01:15.report leaked to a British newspaper today says that America had been

:01:16. > :01:18.monitoring the phone calls of at least 35 world leaders. Yesterday we

:01:19. > :01:23.heard that German leader, Angela Merkel, claimed her phone had been

:01:24. > :01:24.bugged by America. She said spying between close allies or friends

:01:25. > :01:35.like Germany and America, was really between close allies or friends

:01:36. > :01:39.the moment they're doing nothing wrong. We spoke with Chancellor

:01:40. > :01:44.Merkel and reassured her that we will not monitor her communications.

:01:45. > :01:50.But what they did not say was whether they have I delete work

:01:51. > :01:55.spied on her in the past. The Americans have more resources to

:01:56. > :02:04.carry out this activity than anyone else. They want to gather as much

:02:05. > :02:09.information as they can. Nobody is a prize that this goes on but they are

:02:10. > :02:12.surprised that the German leader was targeted. Of course, spying goes on

:02:13. > :02:17.all around the world, all the time, for all sorts of reasons. Now

:02:18. > :02:21.American and British spies work closely together but DC says he s

:02:22. > :02:25.happy with the way our spies work. Germany and France say they want a

:02:26. > :02:29.no spying pact with the US. But whether the countries would stick to

:02:30. > :02:32.this pact is another matter. After all, doing things in secret is what

:02:33. > :02:35.spying is all about. OK, next, a quick question. Can you

:02:36. > :02:39.recognise the Newsround presenters from these baby pics? That's me

:02:40. > :02:45.Leah and there's Newsround's latest recruit, Ayshah! Cute, eh? Not as

:02:46. > :02:48.cute as this little future king These are the official snaps,

:02:49. > :02:56.released today, from Prince George's christening. Mum and Dad, the Duke

:02:57. > :02:59.and Duchess of Cambridge, look very proud, don't they? The Queen is

:03:00. > :03:03.pictured with three future kings. There's been no picture like this

:03:04. > :03:06.for nearly 120 years. Now, imagine a mummy, and you probably think of

:03:07. > :03:09.something like this chap from ancient Egypt. Well, think again.

:03:10. > :03:13.Because two have just been found on the other side of the world, in

:03:14. > :03:16.South America. The adult and child were discovered at an ancient site

:03:17. > :03:20.in Peru. It's been described as the most important find in 30 years But

:03:21. > :03:24.it's not that rare to find a mummy outside of Egypt.

:03:25. > :03:27.Mummifiying has been going on around the globe for thousands of years.

:03:28. > :03:30.Most often, it would involve drying and wrapping the most important

:03:31. > :03:43.people in bandages once they've died. Ancient South Americans loved

:03:44. > :03:45.a good mummy. It's thought people there were mummifying 2000 years

:03:46. > :03:49.before the Egyptians and they've been found in Peru, Chile and even a

:03:50. > :03:51.little bit further north in Cuba. Then there's China. Hundreds of

:03:52. > :03:56.mummies Then there's China. Hundreds of

:03:57. > :04:01.discovered with long red hair and a European appearance, leaving

:04:02. > :04:05.scientists puzzled. But don't forget Europe. Italy, Denmark and the Czech

:04:06. > :04:08.Republic have all had their own mummy mysteries. Then there's the

:04:09. > :04:17.daddy, or should that be mummy, of discoveries. Egypt. Egypt has some

:04:18. > :04:20.of the most famous and well preserved mummies in history. In

:04:21. > :04:22.fact, there's more mummies from Egypt than outside your school gates

:04:23. > :04:26.at home time. Last up, have you seen these

:04:27. > :04:29.monkeys? Or two which look a bit like them? People in Belfast in

:04:30. > :04:34.Northern Ireland are being asked to keep their eyes peeled for two

:04:35. > :04:37.escaped makaks! -- macaques. Six of the cheeky creatures did a runner

:04:38. > :04:42.from Belfast Zoo on Monday. Four have been returned. Zoo staff

:04:43. > :04:45.managed to catch this one with a brilliant rugby tackle in the

:04:46. > :04:49.grounds of the city castle. But two more are still on the run.

:04:50. > :04:53.Head to the Newsround website to check out some amazing photos from a

:04:54. > :04:56.cliff diving competition! That's all from me, Leah's here over the

:04:57. > :05:01.weekend. Have a good one, bye!
