Good morning, I'm Ayshah with Tuesday's Newsround. | 0:00:06 | 0:00:08 | |
This is what we've got for you. | 0:00:08 | 0:00:11 | |
The baby elephant rescued from a drain in Sri Lanka | 0:00:11 | 0:00:14 | |
and rolling down a big hill for cheese. | 0:00:14 | 0:00:16 | |
First, today marks 100 years since Britain and Germany fought | 0:00:24 | 0:00:26 | |
each other in the Battle of Jutland, the biggest fight to take place | 0:00:26 | 0:00:29 | |
on sea during the First World War. | 0:00:29 | 0:00:33 | |
It happened just off the coast of Denmark, | 0:00:33 | 0:00:35 | |
where British ships had set sail to stop the German Fleet. | 0:00:35 | 0:00:39 | |
Today ceremonies are taking place to remember those | 0:00:39 | 0:00:42 | |
who lost their lives. | 0:00:42 | 0:00:45 | |
The BBC's Robert Hall is in Jutland for the anniversary and sent | 0:00:45 | 0:00:48 | |
Newsround this report. | 0:00:48 | 0:00:50 | |
It was the largest naval battle of the First World War. | 0:00:50 | 0:00:53 | |
More than 200 ships took part, carrying over 100,000 men. | 0:00:53 | 0:00:59 | |
The two huge fleets first came into contact early in the | 0:00:59 | 0:01:02 | |
afternoon. | 0:01:02 | 0:01:04 | |
And for the next few hours they tried to outmanoeuvre | 0:01:04 | 0:01:06 | |
each other and to gain an advantage. | 0:01:06 | 0:01:09 | |
The British tactic was called crossing the T and involved getting | 0:01:09 | 0:01:12 | |
their skips, their biggest ships, ahead of the German column. | 0:01:12 | 0:01:19 | |
That would enable them to concentrate their fire in a | 0:01:19 | 0:01:22 | |
huge broadside. | 0:01:22 | 0:01:25 | |
To villages here on the Jutland peninsula, the gunfire | 0:01:25 | 0:01:27 | |
sounded like thunder over the horizon. | 0:01:27 | 0:01:30 | |
Thunder which was punctuated, though, by huge explosions. | 0:01:30 | 0:01:34 | |
At this new memorial in Denmark, the large stones represent | 0:01:34 | 0:01:36 | |
the 25 ships which were lost. | 0:01:36 | 0:01:40 | |
More than 8000 men, British and German, were killed. | 0:01:40 | 0:01:50 | |
Gert Andersson owns a museum which tells the story of the battle. | 0:01:51 | 0:01:54 | |
It's a special place because this is the land closest | 0:01:54 | 0:01:57 | |
to the battle of Jutland. | 0:01:57 | 0:02:00 | |
I think it's very sad because it was young | 0:02:00 | 0:02:02 | |
people, just 20, 22 years old. | 0:02:02 | 0:02:05 | |
But some sailors were even younger. | 0:02:05 | 0:02:07 | |
16-year-old Jack Cornwell was badly wounded but he stayed by his gun. | 0:02:07 | 0:02:10 | |
He was awarded Britain's highest military honour, | 0:02:10 | 0:02:12 | |
the Victoria Cross, for his bravery. | 0:02:12 | 0:02:16 | |
Just one of the Jutland stories which will be told, a century on. | 0:02:16 | 0:02:23 | |
If you want to know more about the Battle of Jutland then go | 0:02:23 | 0:02:26 | |

Cricket now and England captain Alistair Cook | 0:02:33 | 0:02:35 | |
made history yesterday. He became the youngest ever player | 0:02:35 | 0:02:38 | |
to score 10,000 Test runs, and only the 12th | 0:02:38 | 0:02:40 | |
person ever to do so. | 0:02:40 | 0:02:42 | |
He reached the milestone yesterday during the England match | 0:02:42 | 0:02:44 | |
against Sri Lanka. | 0:02:44 | 0:02:46 | |
To top the day off, England then cruised to a comfortable win | 0:02:46 | 0:02:49 | |
and managed to complete a series victory. | 0:02:49 | 0:02:52 | |
Cook seemed pretty pleased with his new record. | 0:02:52 | 0:02:57 | |
For people to say it's just happened, there's a lot of hard | 0:02:57 | 0:03:01 | |
work, and obviously, to put it in to get there, | 0:03:01 | 0:03:06 | |
it's very special. | 0:03:06 | 0:03:09 | |
Back in 2003, surfer Bethany Hamilton lost an arm | 0:03:09 | 0:03:11 | |
when she was attacked by a tiger shark in Hawaii - she was just 13 | 0:03:11 | 0:03:15 | |
years old at the time. | 0:03:15 | 0:03:17 | |
But Bethany didn't let it hold her back, | 0:03:17 | 0:03:19 | |
she kept on surfing. | 0:03:19 | 0:03:20 | |
Now, 13 years on, she is competing in the Fiji Womens Pro competition | 0:03:20 | 0:03:23 | |
where she recently defeated the current world number one, | 0:03:23 | 0:03:27 | |
Tyler Wright of Australia, to sail through to today's quarter-finals. | 0:03:27 | 0:03:34 | |
To the amazing rescue of this baby elephant in Sri Lanka | 0:03:34 | 0:03:36 | |
in South East Asia (TAKE WALL FF) Rescuers pulled the calf to safety | 0:03:36 | 0:03:39 | |
after it got trapped in a drain. | 0:03:39 | 0:03:41 | |
Elephants in this area are known to roam free on the streets. | 0:03:41 | 0:03:46 | |
Port workers and vets all worked together to get it out. | 0:03:46 | 0:03:48 | |
And then it was taken away for medical treatment. | 0:03:48 | 0:03:53 | |
If you're out and about and need the loo then you might | 0:03:53 | 0:03:56 | |
have to cross your legs. | 0:03:56 | 0:03:57 | |
It's because lots of public toilets are disappearing | 0:03:57 | 0:03:59 | |
from Britain's streets. | 0:03:59 | 0:04:01 | |
The BBC has discovered that four in five councils across the UK | 0:04:01 | 0:04:04 | |
have had to close public toilets since 2011, with some areas | 0:04:04 | 0:04:06 | |
in the UK having none at all. | 0:04:06 | 0:04:09 | |
Figures show almost 1,800 public loos have closed in the last decade. | 0:04:09 | 0:04:12 | |
Councils say it's because of a lack of money. | 0:04:12 | 0:04:17 | |
Finally, fancy chasing some cheese down a big hill? | 0:04:17 | 0:04:20 | |
No, me neither. | 0:04:20 | 0:04:22 | |
But that's exactly what these guys did in Brockworth | 0:04:22 | 0:04:24 | |
in Gloucestershire yesterday. | 0:04:24 | 0:04:25 | |
Every year people take part in the event where they chase | 0:04:25 | 0:04:28 | |
a massive Double Gloucester cheese down a steep hill. | 0:04:28 | 0:04:32 | |
28 year old Chris Anderson won, but admitted he won't be eating | 0:04:32 | 0:04:35 | |
the cheese because he doesn't like it. | 0:04:35 | 0:04:36 | |
Even though he's won the event 17 times. | 0:04:36 | 0:04:42 | |
And stay tuned for our next bulletin at 8.15 when we introduce you guys | 0:04:42 | 0:04:45 | |
to the world's biggest ever space experiment. | 0:04:45 | 0:04:47 | |
You can head online right now to get a sneak peak and find out how | 0:04:47 | 0:04:51 | |
a radio telescope works. | 0:04:51 | 0:04:54 | |
That's all from me, Newsround's back in about half an hour. | 0:04:54 | 0:04:55 |
