Hello, guys. | 0:00:05 | 0:00:06 | |
Ricky here with your morning Newsround, live on CBBC. | 0:00:06 | 0:00:08 | |
Coming up... | 0:00:08 | 0:00:10 | |
A bee-utifal world record. | 0:00:10 | 0:00:14 | |
And a toilet with a difference! | 0:00:14 | 0:00:20 | |
First up, it's been 20 years since a huge event | 0:00:25 | 0:00:28 | |
for the royal family. | 0:00:28 | 0:00:30 | |
Princess Diana, the mother of Princes William and Harry, died. | 0:00:30 | 0:00:34 | |
She was one of the most famous people in the world | 0:00:34 | 0:00:38 | |
So who was she, and what happened? | 0:00:38 | 0:00:39 | |
Jenny has this special report. | 0:00:39 | 0:00:40 | |
Diana Spencer was born back in 1961. | 0:00:40 | 0:00:42 | |
She was the daughter of a man called Earl Spencer and her family | 0:00:42 | 0:00:46 | |
were wealthy and important. | 0:00:46 | 0:00:48 | |
Diana worked as a nursery school teacher | 0:00:48 | 0:00:50 | |
before marrying the Queen's eldest son, Prince Charles, | 0:00:50 | 0:00:52 | |
when she was 20 years old. | 0:00:52 | 0:00:56 | |
Their wedding was a really big deal. | 0:00:56 | 0:00:59 | |
A billion people watched it on TV. | 0:00:59 | 0:01:02 | |
Prince William and Prince Harry were born but Charles and Diana | 0:01:02 | 0:01:05 | |
had an unhappy marriage and in 1992 they split up. | 0:01:05 | 0:01:10 | |
Princess Diana became a well-known public figure and was | 0:01:10 | 0:01:13 | |
photographed everywhere she went. | 0:01:13 | 0:01:16 | |
She did a lot of charity work and many people liked her | 0:01:16 | 0:01:19 | |
because she spoke openly about her problems. | 0:01:19 | 0:01:21 | |
I think the biggest disease this world suffers from in this day | 0:01:21 | 0:01:24 | |
and age is a disease of people feeling unloved and I know that | 0:01:24 | 0:01:28 | |
I can give love and I'm very happy to do that, | 0:01:28 | 0:01:31 | |
and I want to do that. | 0:01:31 | 0:01:33 | |
But then, on the 31st of August 1997, the world was shocked | 0:01:33 | 0:01:37 | |
when Princess Diana died in a car crash | 0:01:37 | 0:01:40 | |
in the French capital of Paris. | 0:01:40 | 0:01:43 | |
Newsround covered it at the time. | 0:01:43 | 0:01:45 | |
The royal family have said they are deeply grateful | 0:01:45 | 0:01:47 | |
for the public's huge support following the death of | 0:01:47 | 0:01:50 | |
Diana, Princess of Wales. | 0:01:50 | 0:01:52 | |
She was a brilliant lady, all the charity work and I think | 0:01:52 | 0:01:56 | |
she needs all the praise she can get and it's very sad | 0:01:56 | 0:01:59 | |
how young she's died. | 0:01:59 | 0:02:01 | |
Like myself, I think everybody in the whole world | 0:02:01 | 0:02:03 | |
is going to miss her. | 0:02:03 | 0:02:07 | |
A lot of people were very upset when she died. | 0:02:07 | 0:02:10 | |
Diana had been a big part of public life and many people | 0:02:10 | 0:02:13 | |
felt like they knew her. | 0:02:13 | 0:02:14 | |
Thousands of people made the trip to Kensington Palace where she'd | 0:02:14 | 0:02:17 | |
lived to leave flowers, cards and messages | 0:02:17 | 0:02:18 | |
for her as a tribute. | 0:02:18 | 0:02:20 | |
Thousands more lined the streets for her funeral and millions | 0:02:20 | 0:02:22 | |
in the UK and around the world watched it on TV. | 0:02:22 | 0:02:28 | |
Since their mother's death, Princes William and Harry have | 0:02:28 | 0:02:31 | |
continued a lot of her charity work and they have spoken | 0:02:31 | 0:02:34 | |
about what happened. | 0:02:34 | 0:02:37 | |
We both incredibly loved her and I am very grateful | 0:02:37 | 0:02:40 | |
that the love still feels there. | 0:02:40 | 0:02:46 | |
It was that love that even if she was on the other side | 0:02:46 | 0:02:50 | |
of a room, as a son, you could feel it. | 0:02:50 | 0:02:54 | |
Now, 20 years on, Princess Diana is still being remembered. | 0:02:54 | 0:03:01 | |
Well, if you want to find out more about Princess Diana | 0:03:01 | 0:03:03 | |
and what happened, head to Newsround online, where you can | 0:03:03 | 0:03:06 | |
read our guide. | 0:03:06 | 0:03:09 | |
A bit of sport now, and it's the last day of the football | 0:03:09 | 0:03:12 | |
transfer window in the UK. | 0:03:12 | 0:03:13 | |
That means it's clubs' last chance to buy and sell players this year. | 0:03:13 | 0:03:17 | |
There are usually some last-minute big transfers and there's good news | 0:03:17 | 0:03:20 | |
for Liverpool fans as they've agreed to sign Arsenal midfielder Alex | 0:03:20 | 0:03:23 | |
Oxlade-Chamberlain for ?40 million. | 0:03:23 | 0:03:28 | |
A man in Canada has caused a buzz after breaking the world record | 0:03:28 | 0:03:31 | |
for the longest time having your head | 0:03:31 | 0:03:33 | |
fully covered in bees. | 0:03:33 | 0:03:37 | |
Juan Carlos Ortiz sat for 61 minutes in a sealed dome as | 0:03:37 | 0:03:40 | |
more than 100,000 bees crawled over his face and neck. | 0:03:40 | 0:03:44 | |
He broke the current record of 53 minutes and 34 seconds | 0:03:44 | 0:03:49 | |
by almost eight minutes. | 0:03:49 | 0:03:51 | |
And he only got one or two stings. | 0:03:51 | 0:03:56 | |
Next up, on Monday the Queen will officially open the brand new, | 0:03:56 | 0:03:58 | |
tallest bridge in the UK. | 0:03:58 | 0:04:00 | |
But where it is it? | 0:04:00 | 0:04:02 | |
And how big is it? | 0:04:02 | 0:04:03 | |
Here's what you need to know. | 0:04:03 | 0:04:06 | |
The Queensferry Crossing - that's the brand-new 2.7 kilometre | 0:04:06 | 0:04:09 | |
bridge over the River Forth in Scotland, | 0:04:09 | 0:04:12 | |
linking Edinburgh and Fife. | 0:04:12 | 0:04:15 | |
The Queensferry Crossing stands a massive | 0:04:15 | 0:04:17 | |
207 metres above high tide. | 0:04:17 | 0:04:21 | |
That's as high as 48 double decker buses stacked on top of each other. | 0:04:21 | 0:04:26 | |
The steel in the bridge deck weighs 35,000 tonnes. | 0:04:26 | 0:04:30 | |
That's almost 200 Boeing 747s. | 0:04:30 | 0:04:34 | |
It has special wind shields along each side to protect traffic | 0:04:34 | 0:04:37 | |
from wind, so it can stay open even in the stormiest of conditions - | 0:04:37 | 0:04:42 | |
much needed on the windy Forth Estuary. | 0:04:42 | 0:04:46 | |
The foundation supports are sunk into the mud down to the bedrock. | 0:04:46 | 0:04:50 | |
Just one of them is as tall as the Statue of Liberty. | 0:04:50 | 0:04:54 | |
And an online ballot was held to give 50,000 people the once | 0:04:54 | 0:04:58 | |
in a lifetime chance to walk across the bridge. | 0:04:58 | 0:05:02 | |
Nearly five times that number applied. | 0:05:02 | 0:05:04 | |
Most are from Scotland and the rest of the UK, | 0:05:04 | 0:05:07 | |
but some are from the US, India and one is from Slovakia. | 0:05:07 | 0:05:13 | |
The Queen officially opened it on Monday and the day after 10,000 | 0:05:13 | 0:05:16 | |
local school kids will be able to walk on the bridge too. | 0:05:16 | 0:05:20 | |
Then on Thursday next week, the Queensferry crossing | 0:05:20 | 0:05:23 | |
will open for business. | 0:05:23 | 0:05:27 | |
Now, take a look at a very special toilet. | 0:05:27 | 0:05:29 | |
This is a loo made of solid gold that's worth a million pounds. | 0:05:29 | 0:05:33 | |
Designed by an Italian artist, it's been installed | 0:05:33 | 0:05:36 | |
in New York's Guggenheim Museum. | 0:05:36 | 0:05:38 | |
It works like a normal toilet and more than 100,000 visitors have | 0:05:38 | 0:05:42 | |
already queued up to spend a penny. | 0:05:42 | 0:05:47 | |
That's all from me. | 0:05:47 | 0:05:48 | |
Newsround's back right here at 4:20pm. | 0:05:48 | 0:05:52 | |
Have a great day and don't forget to head online for all the rest | 0:05:52 | 0:05:55 | |
of the day's stories. | 0:05:55 | 0:06:00 |
