Hi, guys - you're live with me, Leah, and I've got top footy news

and some amazing space stories coming right up on Newsround.

But first to the Euro 2016 Championship in France

because everyone's talking about Group B, where England

They're joined by Slovakia and Russia.

For Wales, it's their first major tournament for 58 years,

and England, who were knocked out of the group stages of the World Cup

in Brazil, are hoping for better in Paris.

You just take what you get, so we're more than happy,

and Chris and I have been friends for a long time.

Whatever happens, we'll be friends after the game as well.

We are in a group with some top competition, we know that.

We know all about England, of course.

We know they are going to be very strong.

Also Northern Ireland will play world champions Germany,

along with Poland and Ukraine in Group C, while the Republic

of Ireland take on Italy, Sweden and Belgium in Group E.

Northern Ireland manager Michael O'Neill believes

despite a difficult group, they're in with a shout.

Will have a difficult game against Poland and Ukraine, but the fact

they are the first two games maybe helps us, then we have a massive

game to look forward to against Germany in Paris.

Next, 200 countries around the world have agreed on a major deal to try

World leaders signed up to the plan after two weeks

They've said they'll stop the temperature of the earth getting

too high by reducing the amount of energy they use.

And richer countries have agreed to help poorer ones develop

Some people think the deal doesn't go far enough, and America's

president says it's just the beginning.

No agreement is perfect, including this one. Negotiations that involved

nearly 200 nations are always challenging. Even if all the initial

targets set in Paris are met, we will only be part of the way there

in reducing carbon from the atmosphere, so we can't become

placing. -- can't be complacent. We'll have more on this at two

o'clock, but there's loads more about that agreement

and what climate change Now, this week, astronaut Tim Peake

will become the first British man in history to blast off

for the International Space Station. The craft he'll travel in has just

been moved onto its special launch site, and the BBC's Sarah Rainsford

was there to see it all happen. This is the first really big moment

in the build-up to launch date, as the Russian spacecraft is rolled

slowly out of a vast hangar here, ready finally to take the next group

of astronauts up into space. The crew themselves never turn out

for the roll-out of the rocket, But the back-up crew are here,

those three astronauts For many, it is the first time

they've seen the rocket Have you ever seen the rocket

up this close before? How are you feeling,

looking ahead to the launch itself? We saw him last night,

and he's absolutely fine. Well, here to talk to us now

about that Tim Peake mission and some other cool space stuff

you can actually see live in the sky this evening is space

scientist Tim O'Brien Tim, first up, how excited

are you by Tim Peake heading I just watched that clip then and

saw the rocket rolling out on that cold morning there, here standing up

in the background, thinking about what is happening in two days' time

when they are launched into space. It will be incredible, we've been

covering the build-up. Why is it such a build-up of children? You can

see the International Space Station overhead as a bright start. And do

think there are people on board that, orbiting the earth, in space,

doing experiments, think that is exciting. Maybe a few people

watching might go into space themselves, but it is more than just

the astronaut, is actually thousands of people, there's a huge team

behind him. If you're interested in science and technology, the space

industry is a great thing to think having a career in. It has made it

very accessible to people. It is a great education, which is going into

schools all run the country. We are also talking about some other space

stuff. There is going to be a meteor shower from 9pm this evening? Once

it goes dark, it will get better. If you are lucky, and keep your fingers

crossed the skies are clear, what you will see many more shooting

stars than normal, a meteor shower. The great thing about them is you

just have to look up. You don't need any special cake. You don't need any

telescopes, just look up at the sky, let it build your eyes and you will

see the streaks of light in the sky. They're basically little bit of

rubble that fell of an asteroid, and as the asteroid orbit the Sun, the

Earth passes through that trail and these things heady atmosphere and

burn up in the sky. Are you excited? Yes. They are great things. They

happen this time of the year. Over the coming days, you will have the

chance to see them, so it is always great fun. It is always exciting.

Head to the website to find out where the best place to see the

meteor today, and what time. That's all from me and turn, have a great

afternoon. We are back just before 2pm. Goodbye.
