Morning, guys, Naz here with Friday's Newsround. | :00:10. | :00:12. | |
A huge hurricane has landed in Florida in the last | :00:13. | :00:14. | |
It's the first one to hit Florida in 11 years. | :00:15. | :00:20. | |
Hurricane Hermeen is really big and people who live | :00:21. | :00:22. | |
there are staying indoors, putting up shutters | :00:23. | :00:24. | |
The biggest worries are high winds, heavy rain and flooding. | :00:25. | :00:32. | |
350 years ago today the Great Fire of London started. | :00:33. | :00:34. | |
It was a four-day blaze, which swept through Britain's | :00:35. | :00:37. | |
capital, destroying large parts of it. | :00:38. | :00:39. | |
To mark the anniversary, a model replica of London will be burned, | :00:40. | :00:43. | |
But what exactly happened and how did it change | :00:44. | :00:47. | |
Charles II would have been your monarch. | :00:48. | :00:55. | |
This is what you would have been wearing. | :00:56. | :00:58. | |
Your house would probably have been made out of wood. | :00:59. | :01:00. | |
There was no fire brigade, and chances are someone | :01:01. | :01:03. | |
you know had had a deadly disease called the Plague. | :01:04. | :01:08. | |
Then on the 2nd of September, life like this changed for ever. | :01:09. | :01:11. | |
A spark from a baker's oven on Pudding Lane lit a fire, | :01:12. | :01:13. | |
and the combination of strong wind, closely built homes and a warm | :01:14. | :01:17. | |
summer meant it quickly roared through the streets of London, | :01:18. | :01:20. | |
Eight out of every ten buildings were destroyed, | :01:21. | :01:29. | |
including 13,000 houses and 87 churches. | :01:30. | :01:30. | |
Six people were reported to have died and more than 70,000 | :01:31. | :01:33. | |
But the catastrophe also meant a new beginning. | :01:34. | :01:38. | |
It cleared the way for a brand-new city with better, cleaner buildings, | :01:39. | :01:42. | |
made out of stone, and the first organised fire service. | :01:43. | :01:45. | |
The Great Fire marked the end of medieval London and the start | :01:46. | :01:51. | |
Next - there's just a few days until the Paralympic Games kick | :01:52. | :02:00. | |
One event making its debut at the Games is Para-triathlon | :02:01. | :02:07. | |
where athletes take part in three different sports - swimming, | :02:08. | :02:09. | |
George Peasgood will be the youngest para-triathlete representing | :02:10. | :02:13. | |
Paralympics GB and he's been speaking to Newsround. | :02:14. | :02:19. | |
Being part of Paralympics GB is absolutely amazing and I didn't | :02:20. | :02:21. | |
Now I understand when people say they're kind of speechless | :02:22. | :02:28. | |
about being either an Olympian or a Paralympian. | :02:29. | :02:30. | |
So what really grabbed me was just kind of the interaction | :02:31. | :02:38. | |
So I competed out of enjoyment when I was a junior. | :02:39. | :02:46. | |
I went to the tri club for fun, just to meet friends and I just | :02:47. | :02:49. | |
really enjoyed the actual training side of it, | :02:50. | :02:51. | |
I had an accident when I was two years old and so it has really | :02:52. | :02:56. | |
affected my muscle growth and my ankle mobility. | :02:57. | :02:58. | |
For the swimming, it means that my kick is very minimal. | :02:59. | :03:01. | |
For the bike, it's just means I've got less power | :03:02. | :03:03. | |
And then for running, I just can't really stride out | :03:04. | :03:09. | |
Being so much younger than quite a lot of the competitors, | :03:10. | :03:14. | |
I'm going out there mainly to gain experience. | :03:15. | :03:16. | |
Tokyo or even 2024 is going to be where I am going to be more peaking | :03:17. | :03:19. | |
So, yeah, I'm really just going out to Rio to enjoy it a bit more | :03:20. | :03:24. | |
If there's anything that you want to do, | :03:25. | :03:30. | |
There's no reason why you can't do it, and Paralympics | :03:31. | :03:34. | |
and the Paralympic movement from London really inspired me | :03:35. | :03:36. | |
to put myself on the same sort of level as able-bodied people. | :03:37. | :03:39. | |
So I live and train with the able-bodied squad | :03:40. | :03:42. | |
here in Loughborough, and there isn't really a reason | :03:43. | :03:44. | |
why I can't do that, and there shouldn't be one. | :03:45. | :03:49. | |
I never want to say, what if I did something. | :03:50. | :03:51. | |
So I have taken every opportunity I have had to really go out | :03:52. | :03:54. | |
and do something and try and make a difference, | :03:55. | :03:56. | |
and try and inspire people, which I never thought I be able | :03:57. | :04:00. | |
to do, but people told me I've been an inspiration to them and that's | :04:01. | :04:03. | |
Andy Murray is through to the final after he beat his opponent. | :04:04. | :04:26. | |
Now it's been an epic summer, right?! | :04:27. | :04:28. | |
Wales' success at Euro2016, a record-level heat wave, | :04:29. | :04:30. | |
and how can we forget TeamGB's glory at Rio? | :04:31. | :04:32. | |
But it's all coming to an end, and for many of you, | :04:33. | :04:34. | |
But here at Newsround HQ we don't want to let the summer go yet! | :04:35. | :04:39. | |
