:00:25. > :00:30.Hello, guys, welcome to Newsround. We have got a full run-down of what

:00:30. > :00:35.is going on in your world. Coming up: We will tell you some of the

:00:35. > :00:40.big names hoping to spread Olympic fever to a town near you. And what

:00:41. > :00:46.effect the hot weather is having on our fishy friends. First, the

:00:46. > :00:50.images of last summer's riots are hard to forget. Thousands of young

:00:50. > :00:55.people caused devastation across England's major cities and everyone

:00:55. > :01:02.has been tried to figure out why. A new report has criticised the

:01:02. > :01:07.police, schools and families for not doing enough.

:01:07. > :01:14.The buildings and cars burnt, shops looted and petrol bombs thrown at

:01:14. > :01:16.police. Five days of rioting across England which shook the nation,

:01:16. > :01:22.beginning in north London when people got angry after a local man

:01:22. > :01:26.was shot dead by police. Originally the Prime Minister blamed the riots

:01:26. > :01:31.on the thieving and looting and gave up with plans to tackle it.

:01:31. > :01:35.But those involved say there were deeper causes as to why the riots

:01:35. > :01:42.happened with the report highlighting several reasons.

:01:42. > :01:48.was just an excuse to grab whatever they wanted. They were out of order.

:01:48. > :01:51.People wanted to get laptops and clothes. The report criticises the

:01:52. > :01:56.police, saying some forces could strengthen their relationship with

:01:56. > :02:01.communities. A group of half-a- million forgotten families who do

:02:01. > :02:05.not feel they fit into society were highlighted by the study as people

:02:06. > :02:10.who lack support and could write. My abiding memory is talking to

:02:10. > :02:15.young people and they said, we need hopes, dreams and a stake in

:02:16. > :02:22.society. The report also blame schools saying some pupils need

:02:22. > :02:26.more education. It could be the trial's fault for not listening in

:02:26. > :02:31.class and it could be the teacher's fault if they are not teaching them

:02:31. > :02:36.properly. One idea suggests schools should be fined if Kate's cannot

:02:36. > :02:41.read or write properly, but should it be down to the education system

:02:41. > :02:46.alone? You put money into help children read and write or do you

:02:46. > :02:51.find schools that have not been able to teach children. It is best

:02:51. > :02:54.spent helping the children rather than fining the schools. It is

:02:54. > :03:00.clear it was not down to just one reason and it is hoped by tackling

:03:00. > :03:04.some of the deeper problems scenes like this one never be seen again.

:03:04. > :03:10.Next and the amazing story of a man who has been given a full face

:03:10. > :03:15.transplant, the most complicated operation going. Richard Norris was

:03:15. > :03:22.badly hurt in an accident 15 years ago and used to wear a mask. But a

:03:22. > :03:27.team of 150 specialists in America were up for 150 hours to give him a

:03:27. > :03:32.brand-new phase. They hope the same technology could allow face

:03:32. > :03:37.transplants for servicemen and women injured. Next the latest on

:03:37. > :03:42.the drought spreading across parts of England. Parts of Yorkshire have

:03:42. > :03:46.now officially been added to the list of places running out of water

:03:46. > :03:54.after several months without rain. There are no plans to ban people

:03:54. > :03:59.from using hoses their. But one set of wildlife that has been badly

:03:59. > :04:06.damaged his fish. They need rescuing and moving elsewhere, but

:04:06. > :04:10.to catch them in the first place can be tricky. Giving fish add

:04:10. > :04:15.gentle electric shock might seem cruel, but the alternative is worse.

:04:15. > :04:20.With water levels falling every day it is a desperate time and the

:04:20. > :04:24.stunning the fish is the quickest way to save them. Normally at this

:04:24. > :04:30.time other yet you would not be able to see any of these stones or

:04:30. > :04:35.the wreaths at the side, so the race is on to get the fish out.

:04:36. > :04:42.have a generator at the back of the boat and that powers the this and

:04:42. > :04:46.that draws the fish towards us. Does it hurt them? No, not at all.

:04:46. > :04:52.As soon as they come towards us they are knocked out and we take

:04:52. > :04:55.them out. It is a common practice to move up fish around water ways,

:04:55. > :04:59.but the Environment Agency has never had to do it this early in

:04:59. > :05:04.the year. They will be transported to a different river with healthy

:05:04. > :05:10.water levels. We have taken them out this morning. If we did not

:05:10. > :05:14.take them out now, they would die. Aquatic animals at the first to

:05:15. > :05:19.feel the drought and a less the south and the East has lots of rain,

:05:19. > :05:23.things could get worse for fish and even water birds. It has taken

:05:23. > :05:28.three days to get to the end of this river and already more than

:05:28. > :05:37.1000 fish have been saved. The Environment Agency has a lot more

:05:37. > :05:41.work to do. We can do our bit by using less water. Now time for an

:05:41. > :05:47.Olympics update and the organisers are making their final visit to the

:05:47. > :05:52.UK before it all starts in July. The International Olympic Committee

:05:52. > :05:55.are carrying out a final inspection. They visited David Cameron and

:05:55. > :06:01.Downing Street and they said they thought everything was in place to

:06:01. > :06:06.make this the best Olympics ever. If you are still -- still

:06:06. > :06:14.struggling to get excited because you are nowhere near London, stay

:06:14. > :06:18.tuned. The Olympic torch relay is all about bringing a little bit of

:06:18. > :06:22.London 2012 to the rest of the UK. Thousands of torch bearers have

:06:22. > :06:28.been chosen to carry the Olympic flame through more than 1000 towns

:06:28. > :06:32.and cities on routes to the opening ceremony in July. Its aim is to get

:06:32. > :06:36.people outside London excited about the games. Now they are getting a

:06:36. > :06:41.helping hand from some of the biggest names in pop who have

:06:41. > :06:46.signed up for a series of special concerts in some of the places that

:06:46. > :06:51.torch will pass through. The Wanted are one of the biggest names on the

:06:51. > :06:57.bill. Best newcomer Emilie Sande is also on the bill in Glasgow and

:06:57. > :07:04.Cardiff, as well as Eliza Doolittle. Wretch 32 and Dizzee Rascal make up

:07:04. > :07:09.the other big names. Tickets for the London concert are �15, but the

:07:09. > :07:14.concerts elsewhere are all free. You will have to bid for tickets in

:07:14. > :07:22.an online auction. The closing date is April 11th.

:07:22. > :07:26.One final Olympics story, we promise. This one is in Japan. Sand

:07:26. > :07:30.sculptors have been so inspired by the games they have been getting

:07:30. > :07:38.their buckets and spades to make these versions of some of London's

:07:38. > :07:46.iconic images. Do you know the artist's name? Sandy of course. It
