Hello, Hayley here with your Newsround update.

:00:00.:00:00.

We've got the latest from Brazil ahead of the World Cup.

:00:00.:00:21.

First to the story of the seven-year-old British boy who has

:00:22.:00:24.

escaped the war in Syria after being trapped there for three years.

:00:25.:00:27.

Muadh, from Birmingham, got caught up in the conflict with his mum,

:00:28.:00:30.

and earlier this week they both managed to escape to nearby Jordan

:00:31.:00:33.

For over three years, Syria has been torn apart by fighting.

:00:34.:00:43.

And for half his life, seven-year-old Muadh has been

:00:44.:00:47.

When he was three and a half his Syrian mother left Birmingham

:00:48.:00:53.

to take him to see her family near Deraa, on the border with Jordan.

:00:54.:00:57.

But soon after they arrived the war began, and it became too

:00:58.:01:00.

Muadh's dad, Wael, stayed in the UK and has spoken about how dangerous

:01:01.:01:04.

It's been a terrible ordeal before they managed to leave Syria. They

:01:05.:01:17.

were living under daily bombardment by the regime. They were escaping

:01:18.:01:21.

from one place to another. Over the last month they have been living

:01:22.:01:24.

under the olive trees, because that was the safest place to stay.

:01:25.:01:28.

Earlier this week they reached Jordan, a country where they

:01:29.:01:31.

can feel safe, but they both want to return to the UK.

:01:32.:01:34.

Something his father has been campaigning for.

:01:35.:01:36.

Muadh is British and can come to the UK but it would mean leaving

:01:37.:01:39.

his mum, who is separated from his dad, behind because she

:01:40.:01:43.

isn't British and doesn't have permission to come to Britain.

:01:44.:01:46.

But after all they've been through, leaving Muadh's mum

:01:47.:01:48.

behind is something the family don't want to do.

:01:49.:01:58.

TRANSLATION: It was terrifying, confusing, no safety or stability

:01:59.:02:04.

The British Foreign Office, who help British citizens abroad, say they

:02:05.:02:08.

can't talk about their case but they'll offer help where they can.

:02:09.:02:11.

Right now, the most important thing is that Muadh is safe

:02:12.:02:13.

We finally know the identity of the fourth X Factor judge.

:02:14.:02:22.

Some of you may recognise her and your parents definitely will.

:02:23.:02:26.

Filming for the new series begins next week

:02:27.:02:28.

Let?s find out why Mr Cowell has put her in the panel.

:02:29.:02:37.

Mel B, or Scary Spice as she's also known,

:02:38.:02:39.

hit the charts almost 20 years ago in the girl band The Spice Girls.

:02:40.:02:43.

The band topped the charts nine times and sold 80

:02:44.:02:45.

So, you could say she's got some experience under her belt.

:02:46.:02:52.

And that's not all, Mel is no stranger to the X Factor planet.

:02:53.:02:55.

She appeared as a guest judge a few years ago and is currently

:02:56.:02:58.

on America's Got Talent, So the new panel is up for a bit of a change.

:02:59.:03:04.

Gary Barlow, Sharon Osborne and Nicole Scherzinger are out

:03:05.:03:07.

and joining Simon Cowell are Cheryl Cole, Louis Walsh and Scary Spice.

:03:08.:03:11.

Now, there is just one day to go until the biggest footy tournament

:03:12.:03:22.

Leah is in Brazil for Newsround and she's sent us this from

:03:23.:03:27.

Copacabana Beach in Rio de Janeiro, the city that will host the final.

:03:28.:03:39.

Hello and welcome to Brazil, the home of the World Cup for the next

:03:40.:03:46.

four weeks. Tomorrow, all eyes will be on the city of Sao Paulo, where

:03:47.:03:50.

Brazil kick off their World Cup campaign against Croatia. But

:03:51.:03:53.

thousands of fans will be packing out this beach to watch this match

:03:54.:03:57.

on special TV screens all along the coastline, despite all the protests

:03:58.:04:00.

that have been happening across Brazil, people angry with how much

:04:01.:04:04.

money is being pumped into the competition. A lot of the Brazilian

:04:05.:04:09.

children I've spoken to say they are just desperate for Neymar and code

:04:10.:04:12.

to make that final, and there is a real sense that the party is just

:04:13.:04:31.

about to kick off. Neighbourhoods are draped in Brazilian flags and

:04:32.:04:34.

decorated in yellow and green. We won't just be talking about the

:04:35.:04:36.

World Cup, we'll be telling you about life for children here in

:04:37.:04:39.

Brazil in South America. We will also be taking a look at the race to

:04:40.:04:42.

save the Amazon rainforest. We will also have a Newsround bulletin at

:04:43.:04:44.

4:20pm tomorrow live from Rio. Join me then.

:04:45.:04:44.

Don't forget, you can get all the latest on Brazil in the Newsround

:04:45.:04:48.

And over on the Kickabout website there's a funky wall chart with

:04:49.:04:52.

Print it off and stick it up so you never miss a match!
