Hi, guys, this is your afternoon Newsround.

:00:12.:00:14.

First, there were big delays at London City Airport today

:00:15.:00:17.

after nine people got onto the runway.

:00:18.:00:20.

The group sat down and locked themselves together,

:00:21.:00:22.

stopping any planes being able to land or take off.

:00:23.:00:28.

Black Lives Matter UK say the protest was their idea.

:00:29.:00:33.

Police took away all nine protesters and the airport said flights had

:00:34.:00:35.

Next, there's just one day to go until the Paralympic Games begin

:00:36.:00:41.

But the build-up to the event has been tricky, with money problems

:00:42.:00:48.

and a lack of ticket sales causing difficulties for organisers.

:00:49.:00:50.

London and Beijing were game-changers for

:00:51.:00:59.

the Paralympic Games - creating huge interest and bringing

:01:00.:01:03.

about a change in views towards disability sport.

:01:04.:01:06.

The hope was that Rio's beautiful backdrop would do the same.

:01:07.:01:12.

But there are worries that the Brazilian city might not be

:01:13.:01:15.

Never before in the 56-year history of the Paralympic Games have

:01:16.:01:22.

A lack of money seems to be the cause of most issues.

:01:23.:01:29.

Cash meant for the Paralympics was used during the Olympics instead

:01:30.:01:32.

to help fix problems such as green diving pools.

:01:33.:01:35.

Now the Deodoro Park, which was a big part

:01:36.:01:39.

of the Olympics, will be closed to the public because there

:01:40.:01:41.

And ten countries might not be able to send their athletes to compete

:01:42.:01:49.

because they were sent the money for flights late.

:01:50.:01:52.

But one British Paralympian going for gold in Rio believes

:01:53.:01:54.

Disabled athletes are used to overcoming barriers.

:01:55.:02:03.

We do it daily, so, I think we'll be fine.

:02:04.:02:07.

Organisers have been busy promoting the Paralympics

:02:08.:02:15.

A campaign has also been started asking people to donate money to buy

:02:16.:02:22.

Locals in Rio believe the event will be another proud moment

:02:23.:02:29.

TRANSLATION: I think the Paralympic Games will make

:02:30.:02:36.

the city even happier, and the whole of Brazil as well.

:02:37.:02:39.

There are a lot of expectations and I'm looking forward to great show.

:02:40.:02:45.

that 11 action-packed days of competition will help people

:02:46.:02:52.

forget the city's rocky road to the Paralympics.

:02:53.:02:57.

After a brilliant Euro 2016, Wales have made a great start

:02:58.:03:00.

to their 2018 World Cup qualifying campaign,

:03:01.:03:03.

They led 2-0 at half-time, thanks to goals from Sam Vokes

:03:04.:03:10.

Gareth Bale netted a third, then his last-minute penalty took

:03:11.:03:15.

We took our foot off the gas a little bit in the second half,

:03:16.:03:20.

But we did a professional job and scored four goals

:03:21.:03:27.

And again the contribution from Gareth Bale to score twice?

:03:28.:03:31.

Yes, he took his first goal brilliantly.

:03:32.:03:34.

He does what he always does for Wales.

:03:35.:03:39.

Sticking with sport, and we're massive fans of Serena Williams

:03:40.:03:42.

here at Newsround HQ, and now she's broken

:03:43.:03:44.

She beat Yaroslava Shvedova at the US Open in New York

:03:45.:03:48.

to set a new Grand Slam record of 308 victories.

:03:49.:03:54.

That puts her ahead of Roger Federer in the all-time list of matches won

:03:55.:03:58.

at the world's biggest tennis tournaments.

:03:59.:04:01.

If the summer holidays already seem like a distant memory,

:04:02.:04:05.

then take a look at some of your holiday best bits.

:04:06.:04:09.

You've been busy sending these snaps in to us.

:04:10.:04:11.

Mack, who's 12 years old, had the ride of his life when he went

:04:12.:04:15.

on the Orbit slide in the Queen Elizabeth Olympic Park in London.

:04:16.:04:19.

Eliza and Alice went to Iceland for the summer break and they even

:04:20.:04:23.

You're stuck in an airport in Japan and you get

:04:24.:04:37.

Talk to a rollerskating robot, of course.

:04:38.:04:42.

These cool gadgets will whizz around Tokyo's Haneda Airport,

:04:43.:04:44.

You can even ask the robot for a selfie.

:04:45.:04:49.

It's hoped they'll be up and running by the end of the year.

:04:50.:05:00.

I happen to head there and have a selfie, surely!

:05:01.:05:02.
