Good afternoon! I'm Ricky coming live and direct from Newsround HQ. | :00:00. | :00:00. | |
Coming up... Where's your mummy An amazing discovery in South America. | :00:07. | :00:10. | |
Say cheese! We check out the official snaps from Prince George's | :00:11. | :00:13. | |
christening, and monkeys on the loose! This could only be Newsround. | :00:14. | :00:23. | |
First, we're talking top secret reports and spying. A newspaper s | :00:24. | :00:27. | |
been given a secret letter suggesting America regularly spied | :00:28. | :00:30. | |
on dozens of world leaders, by listening into their phone calls. | :00:31. | :00:34. | |
This story's got bigger after yesterday's news that Germany's | :00:35. | :00:37. | |
leader was said to be upset with US President Barack Obama after being | :00:38. | :00:40. | |
told his spies had hacked into her mobile. Germany and America are | :00:41. | :00:44. | |
supposed to be good friends. So what's the point of spying on people | :00:45. | :00:48. | |
if you're supposed to like them And what's Britain's take on it? | :00:49. | :00:51. | |
Ayshah's been investigating. When most of us think of spying we | :00:52. | :00:55. | |
probably think of something like this. But actually spying can be | :00:56. | :01:06. | |
carried out in lots of ways and this time the row is about this. A secret | :01:07. | :01:12. | |
report leaked to a British newspaper today says that America had been | :01:13. | :01:15. | |
monitoring the phone calls of at least 35 world leaders. Yesterday we | :01:16. | :01:18. | |
heard that German leader, Angela Merkel, claimed her phone had been | :01:19. | :01:23. | |
bugged by America. She said spying between close allies or friends | :01:24. | :01:24. | |
like Germany and America, was really between close allies or friends | :01:25. | :01:35. | |
the moment they're doing nothing wrong. We spoke with Chancellor | :01:36. | :01:39. | |
Merkel and reassured her that we will not monitor her communications. | :01:40. | :01:44. | |
But what they did not say was whether they have I delete work | :01:45. | :01:50. | |
spied on her in the past. The Americans have more resources to | :01:51. | :01:55. | |
carry out this activity than anyone else. They want to gather as much | :01:56. | :02:04. | |
information as they can. Nobody is a prize that this goes on but they are | :02:05. | :02:09. | |
surprised that the German leader was targeted. Of course, spying goes on | :02:10. | :02:12. | |
all around the world, all the time, for all sorts of reasons. Now | :02:13. | :02:17. | |
American and British spies work closely together but DC says he s | :02:18. | :02:21. | |
happy with the way our spies work. Germany and France say they want a | :02:22. | :02:25. | |
no spying pact with the US. But whether the countries would stick to | :02:26. | :02:29. | |
this pact is another matter. After all, doing things in secret is what | :02:30. | :02:32. | |
spying is all about. OK, next, a quick question. Can you | :02:33. | :02:35. | |
recognise the Newsround presenters from these baby pics? That's me | :02:36. | :02:39. | |
Leah and there's Newsround's latest recruit, Ayshah! Cute, eh? Not as | :02:40. | :02:45. | |
cute as this little future king These are the official snaps, | :02:46. | :02:48. | |
released today, from Prince George's christening. Mum and Dad, the Duke | :02:49. | :02:56. | |
and Duchess of Cambridge, look very proud, don't they? The Queen is | :02:57. | :02:59. | |
pictured with three future kings. There's been no picture like this | :03:00. | :03:03. | |
for nearly 120 years. Now, imagine a mummy, and you probably think of | :03:04. | :03:06. | |
something like this chap from ancient Egypt. Well, think again. | :03:07. | :03:09. | |
Because two have just been found on the other side of the world, in | :03:10. | :03:13. | |
South America. The adult and child were discovered at an ancient site | :03:14. | :03:16. | |
in Peru. It's been described as the most important find in 30 years But | :03:17. | :03:20. | |
it's not that rare to find a mummy outside of Egypt. | :03:21. | :03:24. | |
Mummifiying has been going on around the globe for thousands of years. | :03:25. | :03:27. | |
Most often, it would involve drying and wrapping the most important | :03:28. | :03:30. | |
people in bandages once they've died. Ancient South Americans loved | :03:31. | :03:43. | |
a good mummy. It's thought people there were mummifying 2000 years | :03:44. | :03:45. | |
before the Egyptians and they've been found in Peru, Chile and even a | :03:46. | :03:49. | |
little bit further north in Cuba. Then there's China. Hundreds of | :03:50. | :03:51. | |
mummies Then there's China. Hundreds of | :03:52. | :03:56. | |
discovered with long red hair and a European appearance, leaving | :03:57. | :04:01. | |
scientists puzzled. But don't forget Europe. Italy, Denmark and the Czech | :04:02. | :04:05. | |
Republic have all had their own mummy mysteries. Then there's the | :04:06. | :04:08. | |
daddy, or should that be mummy, of discoveries. Egypt. Egypt has some | :04:09. | :04:17. | |
of the most famous and well preserved mummies in history. In | :04:18. | :04:20. | |
fact, there's more mummies from Egypt than outside your school gates | :04:21. | :04:22. | |
at home time. Last up, have you seen these | :04:23. | :04:26. | |
monkeys? Or two which look a bit like them? People in Belfast in | :04:27. | :04:29. | |
Northern Ireland are being asked to keep their eyes peeled for two | :04:30. | :04:34. | |
escaped makaks! -- macaques. Six of the cheeky creatures did a runner | :04:35. | :04:37. | |
from Belfast Zoo on Monday. Four have been returned. Zoo staff | :04:38. | :04:42. | |
managed to catch this one with a brilliant rugby tackle in the | :04:43. | :04:45. | |
grounds of the city castle. But two more are still on the run. | :04:46. | :04:49. | |
Head to the Newsround website to check out some amazing photos from a | :04:50. | :04:53. | |
cliff diving competition! That's all from me, Leah's here over the | :04:54. | :04:56. | |
weekend. Have a good one, bye! | :04:57. | :05:01. |
