Hi, I'm Martin with all the news that you need to know about

0:00:030:00:06

this Friday afternoon.

0:00:060:00:08

Coming up on today's Newsround:

0:00:080:00:10

The difference between boys and girls going to university.

0:00:100:00:14

Plus, how this lonely rescue dog's getting a taste of the high life.

0:00:140:00:24

First, to Paris in France, where flooding has caused

0:00:250:00:27

one of the most famous museums in the world to close today,

0:00:270:00:30

so staff can move the works of art to protect them.

0:00:300:00:33

Heavy rain has caused dangerous conditions across

0:00:330:00:36

France, Germany and other European countries.

0:00:360:00:41

This is the view of much of France from the sky.

0:00:410:00:43

Six weeks' worth of rain has fallen in just three days.

0:00:430:00:46

It's flooded thousands of homes and businesses.

0:00:460:00:51

In Paris, the River Seine, which runs through the city, is

0:00:510:00:55

six metres above its former level.

0:00:550:00:57

The famous Louvre Museum, which is home to the Mona Lisa

0:00:570:01:00

painting and right next to the river, had to close today.

0:01:000:01:03

That was so that they could move the art to higher ground.

0:01:030:01:06

Train lines that run near the river in Paris have been closed.

0:01:060:01:09

Tourist boats have been banned from sailing on the river.

0:01:090:01:12

The French Open tennis grand slam tournament,

0:01:120:01:17

which is taking place in Paris, has been hit by rain delays

0:01:170:01:20

and could have to extend into a third week.

0:01:200:01:24

And in just a week's time the country will host the Euros.

0:01:240:01:27

But it's not just France that's been badly affected.

0:01:270:01:29

In a part of Germany called Bavaria, water levels rose

0:01:290:01:35

storey of buildings.

0:01:350:01:36

Ten people in Germany have died because of

0:01:360:01:38

the flooding in the past week.

0:01:380:01:40

The problem that rescue teams now have is that the ground is now

0:01:400:01:43

unable to absorb any more water.

0:01:430:01:44

That's because there has been so much rain.

0:01:440:01:46

And there is more rain forecast across Europe over the weekend.

0:01:460:01:51

How much pocket money do you get, and do you think it should be more?

0:01:510:01:56

Research released today says that boys are given 12 percent more

0:01:560:01:59

spending cash than girls.

0:01:590:02:00

According to the study,

0:02:000:02:00

boys aged between eight and 15 receive an average

0:02:000:02:04

of ?6.93 a week, while girls get 77p less.

0:02:040:02:09

Some experts think it could be

0:02:090:02:11

because boys are more likely to complain and ask for more.

0:02:110:02:17

But while the boys are beating the girls when it comes to

0:02:170:02:20

pocket money, the same can't be said about this next subject - education.

0:02:200:02:23

University is a place people go to learn about subjects they enjoy,

0:02:230:02:27

and many hope it will help them find better jobs when they finish.

0:02:270:02:35

But a new survey suggests that by the age of 13, many more girls

0:02:350:02:38

think going university is a good idea than boys.

0:02:380:02:41

Here's what you think.

0:02:410:02:42

A lot of girls in school nowadays work harder than boys generally.

0:02:420:02:45

If you don't go to university, your job, there is, like, limitations.

0:02:450:02:50

There's only certain jobs you can do without a degree.

0:02:500:02:54

So many girls want to go to university because it

0:02:540:02:57

depends on what they want to do in the future.

0:02:570:03:01

Like, I want to do football coaching in college,

0:03:010:03:03

but if I have to go to university to get my job, then I'll go there.

0:03:030:03:07

My teachers encourage me to go to university

0:03:070:03:09

because they are telling me to excel in my learning and to get

0:03:090:03:13

me a better career path.

0:03:130:03:15

Tennis news now and Andy Murray is battling Stan Wawrinka

0:03:150:03:18

for a place in the French Open final.

0:03:180:03:20

He's currently two sets up.

0:03:200:03:22

On the women's side,

0:03:220:03:23

world number one Serena Williams is through to the finals.

0:03:230:03:26

She'll be aiming to win her 22nd Grand Slam in the final

0:03:260:03:29

tomorrow, where she faces Spain's Garbine Muguruza

0:03:290:03:32

The two last played each other in the Wimbledon final

0:03:320:03:35

last year, which Serena won.

0:03:350:03:38

Next, a real life wags to riches tale.

0:03:380:03:41

When rescue dog Freya was taken in by a shelter as a stray,

0:03:410:03:44

the staff thought her friendly and loving personality

0:03:440:03:46

would earn her an owner in no time.

0:03:460:03:52

But six years later, and after meeting more

0:03:520:03:54

than 18,000 potential new families, she was still waiting

0:03:540:03:56

for her forever home.

0:03:560:03:57

Now her fortunes have taken a turn for the better,

0:03:570:03:59

after Hollywood bosses have decided she's perfect for a role

0:03:590:04:02

in the new Transformers film!

0:04:020:04:05

Freya's due to start filming in the UK this summer.

0:04:050:04:08

I love a happy ending!

0:04:080:04:13

Now watch very closely, because someone's about to take a fall...

0:04:130:04:16

Ooft!

0:04:160:04:16

Did you see it?

0:04:160:04:18

A poor panda had a bit of a tumble

0:04:180:04:20

when the branch he was climbing on snapped right off!

0:04:200:04:23

His keeper at the conservation centre where he lives

0:04:230:04:25

in Ya'an City, China, rushed out to check on him,

0:04:250:04:28

and don't worry - the little guy was absolutely fine.

0:04:280:04:30

Maybe a bit embarrassed though.

0:04:300:04:33

Just enough time to tell you what's good online.

0:04:330:04:36

Or perhaps I should say, "pointy finger,

0:04:360:04:38

computer screen, thumbs up!"

0:04:380:04:42

Because today the Newsround website's got some big emoji news.

0:04:420:04:45

Head online to find out about the 72 new emojis

0:04:450:04:47

that are due to be released later this month.

0:04:470:04:50

They include a facepalm, a shrug

0:04:500:04:51

and a whole host of new animals.

0:04:510:04:54

That's all from me and the Newsround team.

0:04:540:04:56

Have a great evening.
