Hi guys, I'm Jenny, live with all the news you need to | 0:00:19 | 0:00:22 | |
know this Sunday. | 0:00:22 | 0:00:23 | |
Coming up. | 0:00:23 | 0:00:23 | |
The cruise ship ban in Venice. | 0:00:23 | 0:00:25 | |
We find out more about the sporting extravaganza that | 0:00:25 | 0:00:27 | |
is the British Transplant Games. | 0:00:27 | 0:00:28 | |
First, high winds and flash floods are expected today as the remains | 0:00:28 | 0:00:31 | |
of Hurricane Bertha hit Britain. | 0:00:31 | 0:00:32 | |
These pictures show the chaos she caused in the Caribbean last week. | 0:00:32 | 0:00:35 | |
Bertha has weakened since then, but volunteers from The Red Cross | 0:00:35 | 0:00:38 | |
are on standby here in the UK, in case homes need to be evacuated. | 0:00:38 | 0:00:41 | |
BBC Weather's Chris Fawkes has more. | 0:00:41 | 0:00:46 | |
Hi, newsround. | 0:00:46 | 0:00:47 | |
Last week, over 4000 miles away across the other side of the | 0:00:47 | 0:00:50 | |
Atlantic Ocean, Hurricane Bertha formed just to the east of Florida, | 0:00:50 | 0:00:52 | |
the United States of America. | 0:00:52 | 0:00:54 | |
Since then, it has been moving quickly across the Atlantic but | 0:00:54 | 0:00:56 | |
you don't need to worry too much. | 0:00:56 | 0:00:58 | |
It is not a hurricane any more. | 0:00:58 | 0:01:00 | |
The area of moisture that has been left over from what was left | 0:01:00 | 0:01:03 | |
of Bertha is pouring in an area of low pressure that will bring us | 0:01:03 | 0:01:06 | |
a wet and windy day. | 0:01:06 | 0:01:07 | |
For most of us it won't be too problematic. | 0:01:07 | 0:01:09 | |
However, the wind will be pretty heavy at | 0:01:09 | 0:01:11 | |
times and that could lead to puddles out on the roads and we could have | 0:01:11 | 0:01:15 | |
a little bit of surface water flooding, but other areas will just | 0:01:15 | 0:01:18 | |
see not so much in the way of rain. | 0:01:18 | 0:01:20 | |
Overnight tonight, the strongest winds will move to | 0:01:20 | 0:01:22 | |
the south coast of England to northern England and eventually | 0:01:22 | 0:01:24 | |
reaching the eastern areas of Scotland, so it'll be a windy start | 0:01:24 | 0:01:27 | |
to the day across parts of the north-east as we head into Monday. | 0:01:27 | 0:01:30 | |
Elsewhere, further south, a day of sunshine and showers, | 0:01:30 | 0:01:32 | |
so the remnants of Hurricane Bertha are affecting our weather today | 0:01:32 | 0:01:36 | |
but for most of us we don't need to be too concerned. | 0:01:36 | 0:01:39 | |
There will just be some big puddles and some windy weather as well. | 0:01:39 | 0:01:43 | |
And you've been in touch to tell us what's happening | 0:01:43 | 0:01:46 | |
weather wise where you are: | 0:01:46 | 0:01:47 | |
Rebecca in Paisley says she's had a lot of rain | 0:01:47 | 0:01:49 | |
and her nanna's garden is flooding. | 0:01:49 | 0:01:56 | |
And we want to know if Bertha has been having an effect where you are. | 0:02:07 | 0:02:11 | |
Are you being blasted by wind and rain? | 0:02:11 | 0:02:12 | |
Head to the newsround website and let us know. | 0:02:12 | 0:02:16 | |
Next, to northern Iraq where earlier today British military planes | 0:02:16 | 0:02:20 | |
dropped aid supplies of tents, water filters and lights to people | 0:02:20 | 0:02:23 | |
stranded on a mountain there. | 0:02:23 | 0:02:25 | |
Thousands of non muslims in the north of the country have fled | 0:02:25 | 0:02:28 | |
to the mountains there where they are stranded because of threats from | 0:02:28 | 0:02:31 | |
the group previously known as ISIS. | 0:02:31 | 0:02:35 | |
IS threatened to harm non-muslims in Iraq unless they convert to Islam. | 0:02:35 | 0:02:39 | |
It's the first airdrop from Britain to reach people stuck there. | 0:02:39 | 0:02:54 | |
UK officials estimate that between 50,000 and 150,000 | 0:02:54 | 0:02:56 | |
people could be trapped. | 0:02:56 | 0:02:57 | |
To Sport now - you'll have heard of the | 0:02:57 | 0:02:59 | |
Olympic Games, and the Commonwealth Games, but have you ever heard | 0:02:59 | 0:03:01 | |
of the British Transplant Games? | 0:03:01 | 0:03:03 | |
They first took place over 30 years ago and have since gone | 0:03:03 | 0:03:06 | |
on to become a hugely inspirational and life saving event. | 0:03:06 | 0:03:08 | |
I went along to the opening day to find out | 0:03:08 | 0:03:10 | |
why the games are so important. | 0:03:10 | 0:03:17 | |
This weekend more than 2500 people and 750 athletes have come here to | 0:03:21 | 0:03:26 | |
Bolton for the British Transplant Games. | 0:03:26 | 0:03:30 | |
The event takes place every year and the aim is to encourage people | 0:03:30 | 0:03:33 | |
who have had life-saving transplants to help get their fitness back | 0:03:33 | 0:03:36 | |
by playing a variety of sports. | 0:03:36 | 0:03:42 | |
Meet 11-year-old Charlie. She was born with an illness which | 0:03:42 | 0:03:45 | |
affects the bladder and kidney. | 0:03:45 | 0:03:51 | |
And two years ago she had to have a kidney transplant, donated from her | 0:03:51 | 0:03:54 | |
grandfather which saved her life. | 0:03:54 | 0:03:57 | |
And today she is competing | 0:03:57 | 0:04:01 | |
people to donate organs. | 0:04:01 | 0:04:04 | |
Why do you think it is so important that 750 people come | 0:04:04 | 0:04:07 | |
here to the games? | 0:04:07 | 0:04:10 | |
It is really important that kids like me come to the games, | 0:04:10 | 0:04:14 | |
because more people find out more about organ transplant. | 0:04:14 | 0:04:18 | |
This is the third time I have come to the | 0:04:18 | 0:04:27 | |
Speaking to Charlie, you can tell the games have been not | 0:04:27 | 0:04:30 | |
only inspirational, but lots of fun as well. | 0:04:30 | 0:04:34 | |
It is very much like a mini Olympics. | 0:04:34 | 0:04:37 | |
Nearly a thousand people on the waiting list, | 0:04:37 | 0:04:39 | |
waiting for transplants. | 0:04:39 | 0:04:42 | |
Transplant Games is among one of the events which is fantastic to | 0:04:42 | 0:04:46 | |
raise awareness to the public that transplants are | 0:04:46 | 0:04:54 | |
The kids here have had a brilliant day, taken part | 0:04:54 | 0:04:57 | |
in races, making new friends and hopefully even saving some lives. | 0:04:57 | 0:05:03 | |
It's the Italian city built on water, but from next year, | 0:05:08 | 0:05:11 | |
large cruise ships will be banned from the centre of Venice. | 0:05:11 | 0:05:15 | |
At the moment, huge cruise ships can sail just | 0:05:15 | 0:05:18 | |
hundreds of metres from the historic area of St Mark's Square, but many | 0:05:18 | 0:05:21 | |
people called for a ban because of worries about pollution, and | 0:05:21 | 0:05:23 | |
vibrations from the ships affecting the buildings' foundations. | 0:05:23 | 0:05:27 | |
From next year, only smaller ships will be able to sail there. | 0:05:27 | 0:05:32 | |
To cricket and amazing test match win for England against India, | 0:05:32 | 0:05:36 | |
at Old Trafford this weekend.The | 0:05:36 | 0:05:38 | |
win came just three days in to the available five. | 0:05:38 | 0:05:41 | |
England bowled India out twice in as many days and scored more runs | 0:05:41 | 0:05:44 | |
in their one day of batting than India managed in two days. | 0:05:44 | 0:05:47 | |
It's been a real turnaround for the team who came into some | 0:05:47 | 0:05:50 | |
criticism earlier in the year. | 0:05:50 | 0:05:53 | |
That's all from me, Newsround's back at 1.55. | 0:05:53 | 0:05:58 |
