Leah here with your top stories this Tuesday morning. | :00:00. | :00:00. | |
Thousands of flies take over this bridge... | :00:00. | :00:09. | |
And the boy who's travelling to every London Underground station. | :00:10. | :00:13. | |
He's one of the most famous faces of Team GB. | :00:14. | :00:28. | |
With the Rio Games just three days away, Tom Daley has | :00:29. | :00:32. | |
just landed in Brazil - a moment he's been working | :00:33. | :00:34. | |
Hi, I'm Tom Daley and over the last eight years I've been working | :00:35. | :00:45. | |
as hard as I possibly can to make my third Olympic | :00:46. | :00:47. | |
I started back in 2008 in Beijing, when I qualified when I was 13 | :00:48. | :00:52. | |
years old and managed to compete when I was 14. | :00:53. | :00:55. | |
Then in 2009, I won the World Championships, | :00:56. | :00:57. | |
and ever since I got a taste of being on top of the world I've | :00:58. | :01:01. | |
always wanted to win an Olympic gold medal. | :01:02. | :01:04. | |
Then, in London 2012, it was the home Olympics | :01:05. | :01:06. | |
and it was the most exciting thing ever. | :01:07. | :01:08. | |
There was 18,000 people coming to support me. | :01:09. | :01:10. | |
My friends, my family, millions watching at home, | :01:11. | :01:12. | |
so there was a lot of pressure, and to come away with an Olympic | :01:13. | :01:16. | |
bronze medal is something I've always, always dreamed of. | :01:17. | :01:18. | |
To win an Olympic medal and go to the Olympics in front of a home | :01:19. | :01:22. | |
crowd is something that's so hard to put into words. | :01:23. | :01:24. | |
Then after that, 2013 was one of my toughest years of diving. | :01:25. | :01:28. | |
I was injured with a bad tricep, my back two and a half somersaults | :01:29. | :01:32. | |
with two and a half twists, which was one of the dives I had | :01:33. | :01:35. | |
to redo in the Olympic final, started to go really downhill | :01:36. | :01:39. | |
and I was so terrified every single time that I went to the diving pool. | :01:40. | :01:43. | |
But I managed to get through it, and I took a bit of time out. | :01:44. | :01:47. | |
I took six weeks to travel the world and do what I wanted to do | :01:48. | :01:50. | |
Then I came back to diving and wanted a little bit of a change | :01:51. | :01:55. | |
so I moved to London and I had a new coach, Jane Figueiredo, | :01:56. | :01:58. | |
and ever since then I haven't really looked back. | :01:59. | :02:00. | |
I've been working as hard as I possibly can - | :02:01. | :02:03. | |
in the weight room, with my nutrition, | :02:04. | :02:04. | |
And then I also had to learn a new dive, which is a forward three | :02:05. | :02:10. | |
and a half somersaults with one twist. | :02:11. | :02:12. | |
It was a bit of a risk, actually, to learn a new dive so close | :02:13. | :02:16. | |
to the Olympic Games but I've been working on consistency. | :02:17. | :02:19. | |
Now, going into Rio 2016, I feel like I'm in my peak | :02:20. | :02:22. | |
Hopefully, going into this competition, I just want to go out | :02:23. | :02:27. | |
I know it's something that seems surreal to say, | :02:28. | :02:32. | |
but I have to believe that I can win that Olympic gold medal, | :02:33. | :02:35. | |
and I'm going to fight to the very end with the Chinese divers. | :02:36. | :02:39. | |
And if you didn't already know, there are two Olympic sports making | :02:40. | :02:51. | |
a comeback at the games in Rio - golf is one and the other | :02:52. | :02:54. | |
Team GB are fielding both a men's and women's team. | :02:55. | :02:59. | |
Many of the players say they're drawing inspiration from the other | :03:00. | :03:01. | |
Obviously it's the first time many of us have ever been | :03:02. | :03:12. | |
Obviously it's the first time any of us have ever been | :03:13. | :03:14. | |
in an Olympic Games, and we are just trying to soak it up | :03:15. | :03:17. | |
as much as possible but return a little bit of focus | :03:18. | :03:20. | |
on what it is we've got to do as well. | :03:21. | :03:22. | |
We are already here in the holding camp, and we are around some | :03:23. | :03:26. | |
of the swimmers and athletes arrived the other day so household names | :03:27. | :03:28. | |
are already all around us, which is hugely inspiring. | :03:29. | :03:31. | |
Now to the 13-year-old travelling to every London Underground | :03:32. | :03:33. | |
Jenny has been looking into this incredible challenge. | :03:34. | :03:36. | |
It's just after 10am and Ally is on a very special journey | :03:37. | :03:39. | |
They're trying to travel through every tube station | :03:40. | :03:43. | |
on the London Underground network - all 270 of them! | :03:44. | :03:48. | |
We have just been through the 67th station. | :03:49. | :03:50. | |
The day started in Chesham, way out in zone nine, | :03:51. | :03:56. | |
where they only had the tube driver for company! | :03:57. | :03:59. | |
Over ?7,000 so we have gone up a thousand in a day. Wow. | :04:00. | :04:07. | |
They're raising money for a cancer research charity after Ally's older | :04:08. | :04:10. | |
He unfortunately passed away after all the treatment in March | :04:11. | :04:21. | |
this year, so I decided to make sure no one else has to go through that, | :04:22. | :04:25. | |
Difficult but it's quite a positive thing. | :04:26. | :04:32. | |
We've had so much support from so many people, | :04:33. | :04:35. | |
all through London, people we've never met, | :04:36. | :04:37. | |
people who just picked up on the story, Transport for London, | :04:38. | :04:40. | |
It's all really feel-good in that respect. | :04:41. | :04:45. | |
So yes, it is hard, we wish we weren't having to do this, | :04:46. | :04:48. | |
but it has also been a really positive experience as well. | :04:49. | :04:51. | |
It was a lot of hard work but Ally made it to his final stop | :04:52. | :04:55. | |
Now over at Newsround online, we're asking for your reviews | :04:56. | :05:02. | |
The new script was released at the weekend and Poppy's already | :05:03. | :05:09. | |
I read Harry Potter The Cursed Child and couldn't put it down. The plot | :05:10. | :05:26. | |
was full of action and adventure. I liked the book because it was | :05:27. | :05:30. | |
written in the form of a script which makes it an easy yet | :05:31. | :05:34. | |
interesting read. I would rate it five stars. | :05:35. | :05:35. | |
These incredible pictures show hundreds of thousands of mayflies | :05:36. | :05:37. | |
taking over a bridge in South Eastern Poland. | :05:38. | :05:39. | |
They're not harmful to humans and scientists think it's proof | :05:40. | :05:42. | |
that the environment is clean because mayflies | :05:43. | :05:44. | |
