:00:28. > :00:33.top stories. Coming up:

:00:33. > :00:38.The British spaceship getting closer to the sun than ever before.

:00:38. > :00:41.What do you do when you find a bear stuck up a tree?

:00:41. > :00:44.First, the Queen has returned to the site of one of the worst

:00:44. > :00:48.disasters in British history. 40 years ago not many people had heard

:00:48. > :00:52.of Aberfan in Wales, but for one truly terrible day in 1966, it

:00:52. > :00:56.became the focus of the world. than 100 children lost their lives

:00:56. > :01:03.when waste from a coal mine slid down a mountain and swamped their

:01:03. > :01:06.school. You might find some of this report upsetting. A tragic day.

:01:06. > :01:11.Pantglas Junior School was packed with children from the village of

:01:11. > :01:15.aber fan, but from the mountain above their school, tonnes of muddy

:01:15. > :01:19.waste cascaded down the slopes and engulfed the school and nearby

:01:19. > :01:24.houses. At 7.30am that morning a man warned

:01:24. > :01:29.that a slide might be imminent. It was a disaster waiting to happen,

:01:29. > :01:35.but nobody listened to the warnings. It had been raining for days so the

:01:35. > :01:38.natural springs underneath the mine overflowed. They started speeding

:01:38. > :01:43.down the mountain and piled thousands of tonnes of rubble and

:01:43. > :01:46.mud on to the village. Hundreds of people rushed to the school to

:01:46. > :01:50.reach the people trapped underneath. Mining was a huge industry back

:01:50. > :01:53.then and most of the people from the village worked in the pits.

:01:54. > :01:58.Everyone knew the dangers of the job, but the miners never thought

:01:58. > :02:03.they would be digging to save their own children. It was in vain. It

:02:03. > :02:07.was just too big. 116 children and 28 adults lost their lives. The

:02:07. > :02:11.disaster shocked everyone because despite the fact that 145 children

:02:11. > :02:15.survived, almost an entire generation of young people had been

:02:15. > :02:23.wiped out. When The Queen came to pay her respects, it was clear she

:02:23. > :02:27.was deeply moved by what happened. Mosh More than 40 years on, she

:02:28. > :02:34.returned to Aberfan today. It brings back poignant memories of

:02:34. > :02:38.what happened on that day, but with the support of the Queen it helped

:02:38. > :02:43.us get through very difficult times. Her Majesty opened a new school in

:02:43. > :02:46.the village which is part of her Royal tour of Wales. The tragedy

:02:46. > :02:55.led to big changes in mining safety and The Queen's visit here today is

:02:55. > :03:01.designed to reassure the people of terrible day will never be

:03:01. > :03:04.forgotten and hopefully never Barcelona are waving goodbye to

:03:04. > :03:08.their most successful coach ever, Pep Guardiola. He has announced he

:03:08. > :03:13.is leaving at the end of the season despite winning 13 trophies in four

:03:13. > :03:16.years including two Champions Leagues. He says it is because he's

:03:16. > :03:20.tired. Chelsea, Liverpool and England could all be interested in

:03:20. > :03:25.him as their coach, but he says he wants to take a year off from the

:03:25. > :03:29.game. Check this out. The sun has been fascinating

:03:29. > :03:37.scientists for years and keeping us all toasty warm. It's bit bright

:03:37. > :03:40.though. That's true. Well, the problem for experts has always been

:03:40. > :03:47.that they can't get much closer than this to find out any more

:03:47. > :03:52.been given the green light and I've been out to find out how it'll work.

:03:52. > :03:57.The sun, a burning ball of metal, gas and plasma. It maybe almost 150

:03:57. > :04:03.million kilometres away, but without it, we wouldn't exist. Ever

:04:03. > :04:07.since we realised that the Earth I shall ots the sun we have been

:04:07. > :04:13.striving to find out more about our fascinating star and our latest

:04:13. > :04:18.mission will take us closer to the sun sun than we have ever been. Say

:04:19. > :04:26.hello to the solar orbiter. The plan is to launch it into orbit

:04:26. > :04:30.closer than any other satellite. recent years, we have been able to

:04:30. > :04:34.build spacecraft that get us a better view of the sun. Now we will

:04:34. > :04:37.get so close that we will be able to see what is happening right on

:04:37. > :04:41.the surface of the sun. Being close to the sun, will mean

:04:41. > :04:45.facing temperatures up to 500 degrees Celsius. That's more than

:04:45. > :04:48.twice as hot as most kitchen ovens can get and you wouldn't want to

:04:48. > :04:53.put expensive electronic equipment in there, would you? Surely as the

:04:53. > :04:57.spacecraft gets close to the sun, it will get frazzled? It is

:04:57. > :05:01.designed to with stand those temperatures. It has a special heat

:05:01. > :05:06.shield at the front. It has little windows in it that the instruments

:05:06. > :05:11.can look through and shut to protect the the spacecraft.

:05:11. > :05:16.It will take five years to build, but when it is launched, it should

:05:16. > :05:22.help shed light on the most vital thing in our universe.

:05:22. > :05:28.Lady Gaga kicked off her World Tour this afternoon. Watch out for the

:05:28. > :05:34.flashes coming up. .This Is the star arriving in South Korea, but

:05:34. > :05:38.authorities have banned anyone from under 18 from going to see the show.

:05:38. > :05:42.Now it's not long until the eyes of the world will be on London for the

:05:42. > :05:45.Olympics Games. Some of the world's top athletes will be on show but

:05:45. > :05:48.Ricky's been to meet some of team GB getting attention for a

:05:48. > :05:53.different reason. We know about the 100 meters, the diving, but there

:05:53. > :05:58.are so many other sports involved in the 2012 Games. Including a bit

:05:58. > :06:02.of this! The big dribble might sound

:06:02. > :06:06.disgusting, but it is the name of a campaign taking place all over the

:06:06. > :06:14.UK to raise the profile of hockey. Who better to show you some skills

:06:14. > :06:23.than international stars. First up, under 18 star, Hannah

:06:23. > :06:28.Pike. Special skill, the Indian dribble. Next, Team GB star, Sam

:06:28. > :06:32.with the drag flick and then there is Martha Watson, she is a goalie

:06:32. > :06:38.and brilliant at stopping the ball with her foot!

:06:38. > :06:42.Mm! Not a lot of people maybe think of hockey as an important sport or

:06:42. > :06:49.a sport they will watch at the Olympics, why do you think that is?

:06:49. > :06:57.Hockey is the fourth most participated sport.

:06:57. > :07:03.I thought I would give it a go too. The Big Scrap dribble is attempting

:07:03. > :07:08.to dribble hockey balls 2,000 kilometres across Britain. You are

:07:08. > :07:13.all invited to take part as the roadshow continues.

:07:13. > :07:16.Finally, the age old problem of how to get a big bear down from an even

:07:16. > :07:20.bigger tree? Well, rangers at an American University used a

:07:20. > :07:26.tranquillizer gun to try and bring this guy in safely. He hung on in
