Good afternoon, I'm Hayley and I've got loads of live news

:00:00.:00:07.

Kids meet across continents to talk telescopes.

:00:08.:00:16.

And, the junior gymnastics girls storming the European Championships.

:00:17.:00:29.

First, days of heavy rain have led to severe flooding across large

:00:30.:00:31.

Rivers burst their banks in France, Germany and Austria.

:00:32.:00:39.

Rescue services have been working around the clock

:00:40.:00:42.

Thousands of people who left their homes because of huge

:00:43.:00:53.

wildfires in Canada are beginning to return home.

:00:54.:00:55.

The city of Fort McMurray is reopening, and firefighters

:00:56.:00:57.

greeted cars on bridges with Canadian flags.

:00:58.:01:01.

Officials now say it's safe for people to come back,

:01:02.:01:04.

Extra police and firefighters are on hand to help

:01:05.:01:07.

Now to the telescopes mapping out the furthest reaches of space

:01:08.:01:14.

Jodrell Bank in the UK and Carnarvon in South Africa have

:01:15.:01:23.

something that unites them - a giant radio telescopes

:01:24.:01:25.

So we decided to introduce these kids to each other to find out

:01:26.:01:31.

This is where these kids go to school.

:01:32.:01:37.

And this is where these guys go to school.

:01:38.:01:42.

Different countries, thousands of miles apart, with one

:01:43.:01:56.

big thing in common - they both have massive

:01:57.:01:59.

Today, we are bringing them together so that they can find

:02:00.:02:06.

out what their lives have in common.

:02:07.:02:08.

How excited are you guys to speak to the UK?

:02:09.:02:18.

My trip was very lovely to the SKA.

:02:19.:02:33.

They took loads of fun pictures and stuff, as well.

:02:34.:02:40.

What would you like the telescopes to find?

:02:41.:02:45.

We would like to find movement in space.

:02:46.:02:51.

So, that's what these guys want the telescope to find.

:02:52.:02:58.

I would really like the telescopes to find out if there is really life

:02:59.:03:02.

on Mars because they have already found out that there

:03:03.:03:04.

is water and the gravity is also similar to Earth's.

:03:05.:03:07.

We have had a great time chatting to you lot from South Africa.

:03:08.:03:10.

It has been brilliant, but we have no more time left,

:03:11.:03:13.

And we've loved listening to all those questions here in England

:03:14.:03:21.

Next to an impressive silver-mdeal win for the GB junior

:03:22.:03:48.

Maisie Methuen, Lucy Stanhope, Taeja James,

:03:49.:03:53.

Alice Kinsella and Megan Parker won the silver at the Junior

:03:54.:03:56.

European Gymnastics being held in Bern in Switzerland yesterday.

:03:57.:03:58.

British champion Maisie Methuen did especially well,

:03:59.:03:59.

qualifying for the individual finals, which happen later today.

:04:00.:04:03.

It feels amazing, like all of the hard work paid off. We were working

:04:04.:04:12.

in training for two weeks, it was really hard at the initial and now

:04:13.:04:15.

we have done it. It's all change for

:04:16.:04:18.

the fiver in England. The five pound note has been made

:04:19.:04:20.

out of cotton paper for the last 100 years, and will now be

:04:21.:04:24.

made out of plastic. The Bank of England,

:04:25.:04:26.

who make the notes, have revealed But it won't be in use

:04:27.:04:28.

until the 13th of September. Imagine suffering this

:04:29.:04:33.

lego-brick disaster. This giant figure

:04:34.:04:35.

of a fox called Nick from the film Zootopia

:04:36.:04:37.

was smashed to pieces by a four-year-old boy in China only

:04:38.:04:44.

hours after going on display. It took three days

:04:45.:04:47.

and nights to build. Apparently the boy was really upset

:04:48.:04:49.

and offered to pay, but the creator said no

:04:50.:04:51.

as he hadn't done it on purpose. That's all from me for now but I'll

:04:52.:04:54.

be back with more news

:04:55.:04:58.
