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. |
