Hi, I'm Ricky, bringing you your Sunday Newsround. | :00:00. | :00:07. | |
On the way: The panda party in China for triplets! | :00:08. | :00:11. | |
But first, today and tomorrow, events will be taking place | :00:12. | :00:28. | |
in the town of Ypres in Belgium to mark 100 years | :00:29. | :00:30. | |
since the Battle of Passchendaele, which took place | :00:31. | :00:33. | |
Half a million German, British and Allied soldiers | :00:34. | :00:38. | |
were wounded or killed on the battlefield and trenches | :00:39. | :00:43. | |
surrounding the town and tonight a ceremony attended by the Duke | :00:44. | :00:46. | |
and Duchess of Cambridge will remember those who lost | :00:47. | :00:48. | |
Whilst the fighting ended long ago, evidence of the battle still exists | :00:49. | :00:57. | |
today and people are still clearing up unexploded bombs, | :00:58. | :00:59. | |
bullets and grenades in the fields and farmland nearby. | :01:00. | :01:03. | |
I've been looking at what's being done to make | :01:04. | :01:05. | |
In this corner of Europe first world war shells explode | :01:06. | :01:18. | |
The Belgium bomb disposal team deal with at least 200 | :01:19. | :01:31. | |
tonnes of unexploded bombs and grenades every year. | :01:32. | :01:37. | |
During the First World War all along the western front, | :01:38. | :01:40. | |
One in three failed to explode leaving approximately | :01:41. | :01:46. | |
500 million left unexploded, in the ground. | :01:47. | :01:52. | |
Farmers are often the ones that discover shells | :01:53. | :01:54. | |
buried in the earth when they are ploughing | :01:55. | :01:56. | |
Many of these are unidentified and are left at the side of the road | :01:57. | :02:01. | |
So, if you look at the length and the fuses, this is an explosive. | :02:02. | :02:13. | |
The first job is to clean them up, and work out if they are traditional | :02:14. | :02:21. | |
explosive shells, or ones that contain deadly chemicals. | :02:22. | :02:27. | |
Even after 100 years, lives are still at risk. | :02:28. | :02:31. | |
The chemical shells are eventually destroyed in a special sealed | :02:32. | :02:34. | |
chamber to stop the toxic gases from escaping. | :02:35. | :02:39. | |
Traditional explosives like these are treated definitely. | :02:40. | :02:42. | |
Shells, bombs, grenades and bullets forced to the surface | :02:43. | :02:45. | |
through years of rainfall, frost and ploughed fields | :02:46. | :02:49. | |
Here, finally, controlled explosions destroy the deadly devices, 100 | :02:50. | :02:56. | |
More are still waiting to be discovered, a century on. | :02:57. | :03:06. | |
Well to find out more about the First World War, | :03:07. | :03:08. | |
Watch incredible stories about some of the youngest soldiers | :03:09. | :03:12. | |
who fought on the front line, and find out what | :03:13. | :03:15. | |
Sport now, and England's women face a tough test tonight as they take | :03:16. | :03:26. | |
on France in the quarter finals of the Women's Euros | :03:27. | :03:29. | |
England reached the last eight topping Group D with a 100% record | :03:30. | :03:33. | |
while the French only scraped second in their group. | :03:34. | :03:35. | |
The Lionesses are on good form, but know they have a big match ahead. | :03:36. | :03:40. | |
Let's hope the weather is better for the English ladies tonight | :03:41. | :03:42. | |
than it was when Germany were meant to play Denmark last night. | :03:43. | :03:45. | |
The rain was so heavy in the Netherlands that the dug outs | :03:46. | :03:48. | |
were flooded and the pitch looked a bit like a swimming pool. | :03:49. | :03:53. | |
Not great for football as this staff member found out. | :03:54. | :04:01. | |
Next, we all know that texting when crossing | :04:02. | :04:13. | |
the road is not a good idea, and one city in The United States | :04:14. | :04:16. | |
The rule is being bought in in Hawaii this October and it | :04:17. | :04:20. | |
will mean anyone caught crossing the road while distracted | :04:21. | :04:22. | |
The aim is to reduce injuries from people walking across roads | :04:23. | :04:26. | |
Next up, the team are preparing for their last show tonight - | :04:27. | :04:30. | |
Wild Alaska Live - which you can see on BBC One at 7pm. | :04:31. | :04:34. | |
Well, friend of the show Steve Backshall sent Newsround | :04:35. | :04:36. | |
a look behind the scenes as they prepare to film | :04:37. | :04:39. | |
It's Steve Backshall, reporting to you from BBC One Alaska Live. | :04:40. | :04:44. | |
Today, we're heading out to sea to try to find humpback whales. | :04:45. | :04:47. | |
But not just to find them and see them but to try and witness | :04:48. | :04:51. | |
So all of these whales coming together, cooperating | :04:52. | :04:55. | |
to focus on a group of fish, swallowing tonnes | :04:56. | :04:58. | |
It is without doubt one of the greatest wildlife | :04:59. | :05:02. | |
If we get it right, it's going to be amazing. | :05:03. | :05:09. | |
We can see lots of boats in the distance, plus our helicopter | :05:10. | :05:15. | |
The only thing is that at the moment, we need to have very | :05:16. | :05:22. | |
So we are just hanging here for the moment. | :05:23. | :05:25. | |
It's quite frustrating that they're just there. | :05:26. | :05:29. | |
OK, we're standing by for our pre-titles here. | :05:30. | :05:37. | |
And finally, the world's only giant panda triplets | :05:38. | :05:43. | |
celebrated their third birthday on Saturday at a Safari | :05:44. | :05:45. | |
Around 5,000 panda fans gathered at the zoo to witness the birthday | :05:46. | :05:49. | |
Fans wore T-shirts specially made for the birthday party and sang | :05:50. | :05:53. | |
That's all from me, Newsround's back right here tomorrow with Jenny. | :05:54. | :06:00. | |
Do you know what I love? A good drawing | :06:01. | :06:05. | |
and that is why I want you to send in your summer dream scenes | :06:06. | :06:08. | |
so that we can show off your artwork right here in CBBC HQ. | :06:09. | :06:13. | |
Maybe you want to draw a picture of Rhys and Katie | :06:14. | :06:15. | |
playing a little bit of volleyball on a beach, | :06:16. | :06:18. | |
or perhaps you and Hacker going for a bicycle ride. | :06:19. | :06:22. |
