:00:16. > :00:23.Newsround on the way. Heartbreak for the Lions as the Aussies strike
:00:23. > :00:33.back. Make sure you stay to because I will be putting your questions to
:00:33. > :00:36.the cast of Despicable Me two. - the British Prime Minister, David
:00:36. > :00:40.Cameron, says he wants a peaceful end to the war in Afghanistan. He's
:00:40. > :00:42.visiting troops in the country today and says it is important to involve
:00:42. > :00:45.the terrorist group - the Taliban in on-goning negotiations about the
:00:45. > :00:55.future. It comes as the most senior British soldier in Afghanistan says
:00:55. > :00:59.
:00:59. > :01:06.peace could've been achieved a while many of you were even born. 11 years
:01:06. > :01:09.of running battles with the Taliban for control of Afghanistan. The
:01:09. > :01:12.terrorist group were forced out of power in 2002 but have continued to
:01:12. > :01:15.fight back with bombings and roadside attacks. Violence has
:01:15. > :01:18.flared again recently as Taliban forces look to take advantage of the
:01:18. > :01:21.planned withdrawal of foreign troops over the next few years. And now
:01:21. > :01:24.Britain's top soldier there says more could've been done to stop this
:01:24. > :01:29.happening. General Nick Carter says Western forces like America and
:01:29. > :01:32.Britain should've done a deal with the Taliban ten years ago. He says
:01:32. > :01:36.they were weak and more likely to agree to a peace plan back in 2002.
:01:36. > :01:39.Something that could've saved years of conflict and thousands of lives.
:01:39. > :01:42.It comes as countries like the UK, America, France and Italy -
:01:42. > :01:45.collectively called ISAF - try to sort out the hand-over of control
:01:45. > :01:48.back to Afghans. They've spent the last few years training the Afghan
:01:48. > :01:51.army to withstand Taliban attacks. And just last week they held off an
:01:51. > :01:54.attack by the terrorists on the presidential palace. But on a visit
:01:54. > :01:56.to Afghanistan today, British Prime Minister David Cameron said he was
:01:56. > :01:59.still hopeful of involving the Taliban in talks about a peaceful
:01:59. > :02:03.future. Some people say General Carter's comments are unfair as it's
:02:03. > :02:06.easier to look back at what should have been done. To secure it for the
:02:07. > :02:12.future we need the most capable Afghan government and we need a
:02:12. > :02:19.political process so those people, if they are prepared to give up the
:02:19. > :02:22.bullies, they can be part of a political process. Some people say
:02:22. > :02:25.General Carter's comments are unfair as it is easier to look back at what
:02:25. > :02:28.should have been done. But with the Taliban currently refusing any
:02:28. > :02:36.invitation to enter talks with western powers, the prospect of
:02:36. > :02:39.peace in Afghanistan still seems a To the hottest place on earth now.
:02:39. > :02:43.This is the south west of America where it's currently so hot that
:02:43. > :02:45.tarmac on the roads is melting. The extreme heat has reached up to 125
:02:45. > :02:48.degrees Farenheit in California and Arizon, close to the highest ever
:02:48. > :02:51.recorded. Special cooling centres have been set up to help people
:02:51. > :02:54.cope. Michael Ferrow lives in Arizona and told us what it's like.
:02:55. > :03:03.It is almost the same feeling you have your body preheated and you
:03:03. > :03:13.open your door and you have heat washing all over you times 100. It
:03:13. > :03:16.
:03:16. > :03:19.is always there. It is permeating to the core. Now if I told you there
:03:19. > :03:22.was a sequel to Despicable Me out, you'd be pretty excited right?
:03:22. > :03:26.Well, what if I told you that Newsround's been to interview the
:03:26. > :03:29.star? And not only that but we put your ideas about what to do with a
:03:29. > :03:33.new wave of minions directly to him! It's so exciting I can't cope... I'm

:03:42. > :03:52.the world? Yes. Yes, I am.What can viewers expect to see from
:03:52. > :03:56.
:03:56. > :04:04.Despicable Me two? Minions. Lots and lots of millions -- minions. Macro
:04:04. > :04:13.three as an adult now. He has three kids. What would you rate your
:04:13. > :04:23.minions do? Design a carwash. Which employed minions. Instead of brushes
:04:23. > :04:32.
:04:32. > :04:37.you had minions. I would make them draw the lottery so I could win.
:04:37. > :04:47.use minions to get to one direction, I will put one direction through the

:05:14. > :05:17.carwash. I would clean up their act. British and Irish Lions were hoping
:05:17. > :05:19.to secure their first series win since 1997 by beating Australia. But
:05:19. > :05:22.after keeping themselves ahead through a series of Lee Halfpenny
:05:22. > :05:27.penalties they conceded a late try to lose 16-15. The series will now
