special episode to the programme this Saturday at 8am. Radzi will be

:00:00.:00:00.

in the Netherlands to give you a tour of the most famous for all

:00:07.:00:07.

academy in the world. Thanks, Leah. Good morning. You're

:00:08.:00:25.

in the right place for all of Monday's top stories. I'm Ricky. On

:00:26.:00:27.

the way! And why is there a horse on the

:00:28.:00:31.

pitch? Stay tuned to Newsround! Tennis now and Great Britain are

:00:32.:00:36.

through to the quarter finals of the Davis Cup after a strong performance

:00:37.:00:39.

by Andy Murray. He beat his opponent, American Sam Querrey, in

:00:40.:00:41.

four sets. It's the first time a British player has beaten the USA

:00:42.:00:44.

since 1935. Andy's now looking forward to the quarter finals in

:00:45.:00:48.

Italy and says playing there's going to be tough. We are going to play in

:00:49.:00:57.

Italy. I can imagine it will be a hostile place to play. I have been

:00:58.:01:03.

to some football matches and played against some Italians in a

:01:04.:01:07.

tournament in Rome before. It is the building, it is a challenge and

:01:08.:01:12.

something you need to embrace. Next the big problems for some parts

:01:13.:01:16.

of the country hit by floods, and there's no let up from the rain.

:01:17.:01:20.

Heavy rain and gale force winds have been forecast for the South West of

:01:21.:01:23.

England, parts of which are still underwater. Three severe flood

:01:24.:01:27.

warnings - meaning there is danger to life - are still in place on the

:01:28.:01:30.

coastline between Lands End and Plymouth, and on the River Severn in

:01:31.:01:32.

Gloucestershire. Now to a story that proves you

:01:33.:01:37.

really can do anything if you set your mind to it. How about becoming

:01:38.:01:40.

a hot air balloon pilot after being told you'll never fly again. A crash

:01:41.:01:44.

left former RAF fighter pilot, Tim Ellison, in a wheelchair but after

:01:45.:01:48.

lots of hard work Tim has now become Europe's first disabled balloon

:01:49.:01:51.

pilot. He now hopes to inspire other people. Well, Tim joins me on the

:01:52.:02:00.

sofa now. So how did you do it? I had a course of lessons from a very

:02:01.:02:04.

good instructor, Brian Jones who flew around the world several years

:02:05.:02:09.

ago. Together with some special equipment, we worked it out. We went

:02:10.:02:15.

through the process of 16 hours to get what is a private balloon

:02:16.:02:22.

pilot's licence. How did you feel when you got back in the air again?

:02:23.:02:30.

It is a tremendous feeling. It is a very serene way to fly. It is

:02:31.:02:34.

difficult, very difficult to do well and I am still working on that

:02:35.:02:39.

process, but very enjoyable. What was the atmosphere like on the

:02:40.:02:44.

ground when you returned? I became the first qualified disabled balloon

:02:45.:02:49.

pilot in Europe will stop so there was great celebrations and lots of

:02:50.:02:54.

jubilation. Do you want more people with disabilities to do this? We do.

:02:55.:03:01.

There are organisations to help people like me fly balloons. I want

:03:02.:03:08.

to get more experienced and hopefully become an instructor and

:03:09.:03:13.

help disabled children to operate and fly the balloon. How young do

:03:14.:03:20.

you have to be? As far as learning to fly a balloon, you just need to

:03:21.:03:24.

be old enough to understand the briefings, the theory and the

:03:25.:03:29.

principles. To qualify, and I think the age is 17. You next getting back

:03:30.:03:36.

in a hot balloon? As soon as possible, but you have seen what the

:03:37.:03:39.

weather is like at the moment! We will just have to wait and see.

:03:40.:03:43.

Lovely to meet you. As you heard from Leah, Arsenal are

:03:44.:03:47.

top of the Premier League again, at least until Manchester City play

:03:48.:03:49.

Chelsea tonight. Two goals from Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain, just back from

:03:50.:03:53.

injury, gave the Gunners a 2-0 win over Crystal Palace yesterday.

:03:54.:03:55.

Earlier in the day it was disappointment for Liverpool though

:03:56.:03:59.

as they were held to a 1-1 draw with West Brom.

:04:00.:04:01.

Next to one of America's biggest sporting events. The Seattle

:04:02.:04:06.

Seahawks won the Super Bowl thrashing the Denver Broncos in New

:04:07.:04:10.

Jersey. The Broncos were led out by their mascot, Thunder. But he wasn't

:04:11.:04:17.

so lucky on the night because they lost 43-8. It's thought around one

:04:18.:04:21.

billion people tuned into the game. Bad news for this panda at Memphis

:04:22.:04:25.

Zoo, who predicted the outcome of the game incorrectly. He will be

:04:26.:04:31.

hanging his head in shame today. Imagine waking up to find that your

:04:32.:04:35.

car has been swallowed by a sink hole in your drive way. That's what

:04:36.:04:38.

happened in Buckinghamshire yesterday when a 30-foot hole opened

:04:39.:04:41.

up in front of Zoe Smith's house, taking her car with it. Luckily no

:04:42.:04:46.

one was injured but the local council are now investigating why

:04:47.:04:49.

the sinkhole which measures 15 foot in diameter appeared.

:04:50.:04:53.

That's all for now, I'm back right here in about half an hour.

:04:54.:04:58.
