Good morning, I'm Jenny, live with all the top

:00:00.:00:00.

It took 43 years but England have finally beaten France.

:00:07.:00:14.

And take a look at this record-breaking, brand new bridge.

:00:15.:00:27.

England's women are into the semi-finals

:00:28.:00:29.

So after 43 years England have finally beaten France.

:00:30.:00:38.

They won 1-0 to set up a semifinal against the tournament hosts,

:00:39.:00:41.

It was a nervy game but England managed to come out on top.

:00:42.:00:50.

Jody Taylor scored the only goal of the game, her

:00:51.:00:52.

She is a striker in form and you need a striker

:00:53.:00:57.

in form if you are to win a tournament like this.

:00:58.:01:00.

Events have been taking place in the town of Ypres in Belgium

:01:01.:01:04.

to mark 100 years since the Battle of Passchendaele, a big battle

:01:05.:01:07.

Half a million German, British and Allied soldiers

:01:08.:01:10.

were wounded or killed on the battlefield

:01:11.:01:12.

Last night there was a ceremony attended by the Duke and Duchess

:01:13.:01:19.

of Cambridge to remember those who lost their lives

:01:20.:01:21.

Though the fighting ended long ago, evidence of the battle still exists

:01:22.:01:26.

today and people are still clearing up unexploded bombs,

:01:27.:01:29.

bullets and grenades in the fields and farmland.

:01:30.:01:31.

Ricky's been looking at what's being done to make

:01:32.:01:33.

In this corner of Europe First World War shells explode

:01:34.:01:44.

The Belgium Bomb disposal team deals with at least 200

:01:45.:02:01.

tonnes of unexploded bombs and grenades every year.

:02:02.:02:04.

During the First World War all along the western front,

:02:05.:02:07.

One in three failed to explode leaving approximately 500 million

:02:08.:02:15.

Farmers are often the ones who discover shells buried

:02:16.:02:21.

in the earth when they are ploughing their fields.

:02:22.:02:24.

Many of these are unidentified and are left at the side of the road

:02:25.:02:28.

Four and a half inches, four and a half inches,

:02:29.:02:36.

so if you look at the length and the fuses, this

:02:37.:02:39.

The first job is to clean them up, and work out if they are traditional

:02:40.:02:49.

explosive shells, or ones that contain deadly chemicals.

:02:50.:02:53.

Even after 100 years lives are still at risk.

:02:54.:02:57.

The chemical shells are eventually destroyed in a special sealed

:02:58.:03:00.

chamber to stop the toxic gases from escaping.

:03:01.:03:05.

Traditional explosives like these are treated differently.

:03:06.:03:09.

Shells, bombs, grenades and bullets forced to the surface

:03:10.:03:12.

through years of rainfall, frost and ploughed fields

:03:13.:03:15.

Here, finally, controlled explosions destroy these deadly devices 100

:03:16.:03:22.

More are still waiting to be discovered, a century on.

:03:23.:03:34.

Well, to find out more about the First World War,

:03:35.:03:36.

Watch incredible stories about some of the youngest soldiers

:03:37.:03:40.

and find out what sparked World War I.

:03:41.:03:49.

Next up, the Natural History Museum in London has admitted they got it

:03:50.:03:53.

wrong after a 10-year-old from Essex spotted a big mistake

:03:54.:03:55.

Charlie is ten years old and he is mad about dinosaurs.

:03:56.:04:04.

He went to the natural History Museum in London

:04:05.:04:07.

with his parents and his brother Ronnie.

:04:08.:04:10.

They went for an overnight stay in the museum.

:04:11.:04:16.

But Charlie spotted one of the exhibitS wasn't quite right.

:04:17.:04:23.

I read this sign that had an egg but it showed the full dinosaur

:04:24.:04:26.

side-by-side comparison to a human and I saw that the shape

:04:27.:04:35.

of it was wrong it was supposed to be an oviraptor but it looked

:04:36.:04:39.

like an earlier dinosaur from the triceratops family.

:04:40.:04:47.

This is what an oviraptor should look like.

:04:48.:04:50.

You come up to one particular sign and he said it is wrong,

:04:51.:04:53.

We said, Charlie, this is the Natural History Museum,

:04:54.:05:00.

but he told us no, give me your phone and I will show

:05:01.:05:03.

you and I could see quite clearly it was a completely different shape.

:05:04.:05:06.

We got back home and we got like a sheet back and it said

:05:07.:05:09.

basically that it was wrong and I was right.

:05:10.:05:14.

In their letter to Charlie the Natural History Museum told him

:05:15.:05:22.

they would correct the oviraptor sign and date hope he keeps his

:05:23.:05:27.

they would correct the oviraptor sign and they hope he keeps his

:05:28.:05:30.

enthusiasm for all things dinosaurs, fossils and plants.

:05:31.:05:32.

And last up - if you're not a fan of heights look away now.

:05:33.:05:38.

This is the world's longest hanging pedestrian bridge, which has

:05:39.:05:41.

It's nearly 500 metres long, and hangs a stomach churning 85

:05:42.:05:46.

Rather them than me. That is all for now. We are back at 4:20pm this

:05:47.:06:01.

afternoon. Make sure you head online for our

:06:02.:06:03.

My favourite TV show is The Dumping Ground,

:06:04.:06:05.

because all of them are always up to mischief.
