You're live this Thursday with me, Leah and news of the hailstones

How your favourite toys could go on holiday when you can't.

First to the latest on the soldier set free after five

We told you earlier this week about Sergeant Bowe Bergdahl's

But today a party to welcome him home was cancelled after some

claims he'd actually walked out on the army before being captured.

cancelled. Organisers in his small Town say they would not be able to

cope if too many people turned up. Not everyone in America is happy

still supporting him. Hours later, he was captured by the Taliban. Some

people think President Obama has not handled the issue well, but he says

getting the soldier back was the right thing to do. The United States

has always had a pretty sacred rule. And that is we do not leave our men

or women in uniform behind. The US Army says it will look into the

deserter claims will stop for now, the soldier is recovering at a

hospital in Germany. Next - survivors of one

of the fiercest battles of World War II have met Prince Charles today to

mark the 70th anniversary of D-Day. It was when thousands

of troops began landing on the beaches of France

and started a major fight back that Special ceremonies are taking place

in England and France all weekend and we'll have a special report

battering parts of America. Amazingly, no-one has been seriously

hurt in the freakish weather. This driver in the US state

were badly damaged by hail. The storms forced some people

to hide in their basements. It was about 4pm when it hit. It

sounded like the world was coming to an end.

It came through like a freight train.
