Hi, I'm Martin with all the news that you need to know about | 0:00:03 | 0:00:06 | |
this Friday afternoon. | 0:00:06 | 0:00:08 | |
Coming up on today's Newsround: | 0:00:08 | 0:00:10 | |
The difference between boys and girls going to university. | 0:00:10 | 0:00:14 | |
Plus, how this lonely rescue dog's getting a taste of the high life. | 0:00:14 | 0:00:24 | |
First, to Paris in France, where flooding has caused | 0:00:25 | 0:00:27 | |
one of the most famous museums in the world to close today, | 0:00:27 | 0:00:30 | |
so staff can move the works of art to protect them. | 0:00:30 | 0:00:33 | |
Heavy rain has caused dangerous conditions across | 0:00:33 | 0:00:36 | |
France, Germany and other European countries. | 0:00:36 | 0:00:41 | |
This is the view of much of France from the sky. | 0:00:41 | 0:00:43 | |
Six weeks' worth of rain has fallen in just three days. | 0:00:43 | 0:00:46 | |
It's flooded thousands of homes and businesses. | 0:00:46 | 0:00:51 | |
In Paris, the River Seine, which runs through the city, is | 0:00:51 | 0:00:55 | |
six metres above its former level. | 0:00:55 | 0:00:57 | |
The famous Louvre Museum, which is home to the Mona Lisa | 0:00:57 | 0:01:00 | |
painting and right next to the river, had to close today. | 0:01:00 | 0:01:03 | |
That was so that they could move the art to higher ground. | 0:01:03 | 0:01:06 | |
Train lines that run near the river in Paris have been closed. | 0:01:06 | 0:01:09 | |
Tourist boats have been banned from sailing on the river. | 0:01:09 | 0:01:12 | |
The French Open tennis grand slam tournament, | 0:01:12 | 0:01:17 | |
which is taking place in Paris, has been hit by rain delays | 0:01:17 | 0:01:20 | |
and could have to extend into a third week. | 0:01:20 | 0:01:24 | |
And in just a week's time the country will host the Euros. | 0:01:24 | 0:01:27 | |
But it's not just France that's been badly affected. | 0:01:27 | 0:01:29 | |
In a part of Germany called Bavaria, water levels rose | 0:01:29 | 0:01:35 | |
storey of buildings. | 0:01:35 | 0:01:36 | |
Ten people in Germany have died because of | 0:01:36 | 0:01:38 | |
the flooding in the past week. | 0:01:38 | 0:01:40 | |
The problem that rescue teams now have is that the ground is now | 0:01:40 | 0:01:43 | |
unable to absorb any more water. | 0:01:43 | 0:01:44 | |
That's because there has been so much rain. | 0:01:44 | 0:01:46 | |
And there is more rain forecast across Europe over the weekend. | 0:01:46 | 0:01:51 | |
How much pocket money do you get, and do you think it should be more? | 0:01:51 | 0:01:56 | |
Research released today says that boys are given 12 percent more | 0:01:56 | 0:01:59 | |
spending cash than girls. | 0:01:59 | 0:02:00 | |
According to the study, | 0:02:00 | 0:02:00 | |
boys aged between eight and 15 receive an average | 0:02:00 | 0:02:04 | |
of ?6.93 a week, while girls get 77p less. | 0:02:04 | 0:02:09 | |
Some experts think it could be | 0:02:09 | 0:02:11 | |
because boys are more likely to complain and ask for more. | 0:02:11 | 0:02:17 | |
But while the boys are beating the girls when it comes to | 0:02:17 | 0:02:20 | |
pocket money, the same can't be said about this next subject - education. | 0:02:20 | 0:02:23 | |
University is a place people go to learn about subjects they enjoy, | 0:02:23 | 0:02:27 | |
and many hope it will help them find better jobs when they finish. | 0:02:27 | 0:02:35 | |
But a new survey suggests that by the age of 13, many more girls | 0:02:35 | 0:02:38 | |
think going university is a good idea than boys. | 0:02:38 | 0:02:41 | |
Here's what you think. | 0:02:41 | 0:02:42 | |
A lot of girls in school nowadays work harder than boys generally. | 0:02:42 | 0:02:45 | |
If you don't go to university, your job, there is, like, limitations. | 0:02:45 | 0:02:50 | |
There's only certain jobs you can do without a degree. | 0:02:50 | 0:02:54 | |
So many girls want to go to university because it | 0:02:54 | 0:02:57 | |
depends on what they want to do in the future. | 0:02:57 | 0:03:01 | |
Like, I want to do football coaching in college, | 0:03:01 | 0:03:03 | |
but if I have to go to university to get my job, then I'll go there. | 0:03:03 | 0:03:07 | |
My teachers encourage me to go to university | 0:03:07 | 0:03:09 | |
because they are telling me to excel in my learning and to get | 0:03:09 | 0:03:13 | |
me a better career path. | 0:03:13 | 0:03:15 | |
Tennis news now and Andy Murray is battling Stan Wawrinka | 0:03:15 | 0:03:18 | |
for a place in the French Open final. | 0:03:18 | 0:03:20 | |
He's currently two sets up. | 0:03:20 | 0:03:22 | |
On the women's side, | 0:03:22 | 0:03:23 | |
world number one Serena Williams is through to the finals. | 0:03:23 | 0:03:26 | |
She'll be aiming to win her 22nd Grand Slam in the final | 0:03:26 | 0:03:29 | |
tomorrow, where she faces Spain's Garbine Muguruza | 0:03:29 | 0:03:32 | |
The two last played each other in the Wimbledon final | 0:03:32 | 0:03:35 | |
last year, which Serena won. | 0:03:35 | 0:03:38 | |
Next, a real life wags to riches tale. | 0:03:38 | 0:03:41 | |
When rescue dog Freya was taken in by a shelter as a stray, | 0:03:41 | 0:03:44 | |
the staff thought her friendly and loving personality | 0:03:44 | 0:03:46 | |
would earn her an owner in no time. | 0:03:46 | 0:03:52 | |
But six years later, and after meeting more | 0:03:52 | 0:03:54 | |
than 18,000 potential new families, she was still waiting | 0:03:54 | 0:03:56 | |
for her forever home. | 0:03:56 | 0:03:57 | |
Now her fortunes have taken a turn for the better, | 0:03:57 | 0:03:59 | |
after Hollywood bosses have decided she's perfect for a role | 0:03:59 | 0:04:02 | |
in the new Transformers film! | 0:04:02 | 0:04:05 | |
Freya's due to start filming in the UK this summer. | 0:04:05 | 0:04:08 | |
I love a happy ending! | 0:04:08 | 0:04:13 | |
Now watch very closely, because someone's about to take a fall... | 0:04:13 | 0:04:16 | |
Ooft! | 0:04:16 | 0:04:16 | |
Did you see it? | 0:04:16 | 0:04:18 | |
A poor panda had a bit of a tumble | 0:04:18 | 0:04:20 | |
when the branch he was climbing on snapped right off! | 0:04:20 | 0:04:23 | |
His keeper at the conservation centre where he lives | 0:04:23 | 0:04:25 | |
in Ya'an City, China, rushed out to check on him, | 0:04:25 | 0:04:28 | |
and don't worry - the little guy was absolutely fine. | 0:04:28 | 0:04:30 | |
Maybe a bit embarrassed though. | 0:04:30 | 0:04:33 | |
Just enough time to tell you what's good online. | 0:04:33 | 0:04:36 | |
Or perhaps I should say, "pointy finger, | 0:04:36 | 0:04:38 | |
computer screen, thumbs up!" | 0:04:38 | 0:04:42 | |
Because today the Newsround website's got some big emoji news. | 0:04:42 | 0:04:45 | |
Head online to find out about the 72 new emojis | 0:04:45 | 0:04:47 | |
that are due to be released later this month. | 0:04:47 | 0:04:50 | |
They include a facepalm, a shrug | 0:04:50 | 0:04:51 | |
and a whole host of new animals. | 0:04:51 | 0:04:54 | |
That's all from me and the Newsround team. | 0:04:54 | 0:04:56 | |
Have a great evening. | 0:04:56 | 0:04:57 |
