0:00:06 > 0:00:08Good morning, I'm Ayshah with Tuesday's Newsround.

0:00:08 > 0:00:11This is what we've got for you.

0:00:11 > 0:00:14The baby elephant rescued from a drain in Sri Lanka

0:00:14 > 0:00:16and rolling down a big hill for cheese.

0:00:24 > 0:00:26First, today marks 100 years since Britain and Germany fought

0:00:26 > 0:00:29each other in the Battle of Jutland, the biggest fight to take place

0:00:29 > 0:00:33on sea during the First World War.

0:00:33 > 0:00:35It happened just off the coast of Denmark,

0:00:35 > 0:00:39where British ships had set sail to stop the German Fleet.

0:00:39 > 0:00:42Today ceremonies are taking place to remember those

0:00:42 > 0:00:45who lost their lives.

0:00:45 > 0:00:48The BBC's Robert Hall is in Jutland for the anniversary and sent

0:00:48 > 0:00:50Newsround this report.

0:00:50 > 0:00:53It was the largest naval battle of the First World War.

0:00:53 > 0:00:59More than 200 ships took part, carrying over 100,000 men.

0:00:59 > 0:01:02The two huge fleets first came into contact early in the

0:01:02 > 0:01:04afternoon.

0:01:04 > 0:01:06And for the next few hours they tried to outmanoeuvre

0:01:06 > 0:01:09each other and to gain an advantage.

0:01:09 > 0:01:12The British tactic was called crossing the T and involved getting

0:01:12 > 0:01:19their skips, their biggest ships, ahead of the German column.

0:01:19 > 0:01:22That would enable them to concentrate their fire in a

0:01:22 > 0:01:25huge broadside.

0:01:25 > 0:01:27To villages here on the Jutland peninsula, the gunfire

0:01:27 > 0:01:30sounded like thunder over the horizon.

0:01:30 > 0:01:34Thunder which was punctuated, though, by huge explosions.

0:01:34 > 0:01:36At this new memorial in Denmark, the large stones represent

0:01:36 > 0:01:40the 25 ships which were lost.

0:01:40 > 0:01:50More than 8000 men, British and German, were killed.

0:01:51 > 0:01:54Gert Andersson owns a museum which tells the story of the battle.

0:01:54 > 0:01:57It's a special place because this is the land closest

0:01:57 > 0:02:00to the battle of Jutland.

0:02:00 > 0:02:02I think it's very sad because it was young

0:02:02 > 0:02:05people, just 20, 22 years old.

0:02:05 > 0:02:07But some sailors were even younger.

0:02:07 > 0:02:1016-year-old Jack Cornwell was badly wounded but he stayed by his gun.

0:02:10 > 0:02:12He was awarded Britain's highest military honour,

0:02:12 > 0:02:16the Victoria Cross, for his bravery.

0:02:16 > 0:02:23Just one of the Jutland stories which will be told, a century on.

0:02:23 > 0:02:26If you want to know more about the Battle of Jutland then go

0:02:26 > 0:02:27online where we have loads more info.

0:02:33 > 0:02:35Cricket now and England captain Alistair Cook

0:02:35 > 0:02:38made history yesterday. He became the youngest ever player

0:02:38 > 0:02:40to score 10,000 Test runs, and only the 12th

0:02:40 > 0:02:42person ever to do so.

0:02:42 > 0:02:44He reached the milestone yesterday during the England match

0:02:44 > 0:02:46against Sri Lanka.

0:02:46 > 0:02:49To top the day off, England then cruised to a comfortable win

0:02:49 > 0:02:52and managed to complete a series victory.

0:02:52 > 0:02:57Cook seemed pretty pleased with his new record.

0:02:57 > 0:03:01For people to say it's just happened, there's a lot of hard

0:03:01 > 0:03:06work, and obviously, to put it in to get there,

0:03:06 > 0:03:09it's very special.

0:03:09 > 0:03:11Back in 2003, surfer Bethany Hamilton lost an arm

0:03:11 > 0:03:15when she was attacked by a tiger shark in Hawaii - she was just 13

0:03:15 > 0:03:17years old at the time.

0:03:17 > 0:03:19But Bethany didn't let it hold her back,

0:03:19 > 0:03:20she kept on surfing.

0:03:20 > 0:03:23Now, 13 years on, she is competing in the Fiji Womens Pro competition

0:03:23 > 0:03:27where she recently defeated the current world number one,

0:03:27 > 0:03:34Tyler Wright of Australia, to sail through to today's quarter-finals.

0:03:34 > 0:03:36To the amazing rescue of this baby elephant in Sri Lanka

0:03:36 > 0:03:39in South East Asia (TAKE WALL FF) Rescuers pulled the calf to safety

0:03:39 > 0:03:41after it got trapped in a drain.

0:03:41 > 0:03:46Elephants in this area are known to roam free on the streets.

0:03:46 > 0:03:48Port workers and vets all worked together to get it out.

0:03:48 > 0:03:53And then it was taken away for medical treatment.

0:03:53 > 0:03:56If you're out and about and need the loo then you might

0:03:56 > 0:03:57have to cross your legs.

0:03:57 > 0:03:59It's because lots of public toilets are disappearing

0:03:59 > 0:04:01from Britain's streets.

0:04:01 > 0:04:04The BBC has discovered that four in five councils across the UK

0:04:04 > 0:04:06have had to close public toilets since 2011, with some areas

0:04:06 > 0:04:09in the UK having none at all.

0:04:09 > 0:04:12Figures show almost 1,800 public loos have closed in the last decade.

0:04:12 > 0:04:17Councils say it's because of a lack of money.

0:04:17 > 0:04:20Finally, fancy chasing some cheese down a big hill?

0:04:20 > 0:04:22No, me neither.

0:04:22 > 0:04:24But that's exactly what these guys did in Brockworth

0:04:24 > 0:04:25in Gloucestershire yesterday.

0:04:25 > 0:04:28Every year people take part in the event where they chase

0:04:28 > 0:04:32a massive Double Gloucester cheese down a steep hill.

0:04:32 > 0:04:3528 year old Chris Anderson won, but admitted he won't be eating

0:04:35 > 0:04:36the cheese because he doesn't like it.

0:04:36 > 0:04:42Even though he's won the event 17 times.

0:04:42 > 0:04:45And stay tuned for our next bulletin at 8.15 when we introduce you guys

0:04:45 > 0:04:47to the world's biggest ever space experiment.

0:04:51 > 0:04:54a radio telescope works.

0:04:54 > 0:04:55That's all from me, Newsround's back in about half an hour.
