Hello. It's Monday afternoon. I am Leah and you are live with

Newsround. We have all your top stories covered. Meet the

pollution-eating poster. And, Manchester United pick the man they

hope can take them back to the top. This is Newsround.

First, she's described her win as the most amazing thing ever. Great

Britain's Rebecca Downie grabbed gold on the uneven bars at the

European Championships becoming the first British woman to win an

individual European title since Beth Tweddle in 2011. The achievements of

Team GB's gymnasts have been getting the Newsround office in a spin. We

sent Martin to find out what it takes to get to the top of the

sport. Flying through the air, this is

22-year-old Rebecca Downie, twisting and turning her way to gold at the

European Gymnastic Championships. Fabulous work from Rebecca Downie!

There were tears but they came as no surprise as Rebecca became the

second British woman to ever win a European Championship gold. She made

winning look easy when she competed in Bulgaria. But what does it take

to become one of the best gymnasts in Europe? They say it takes between

ten and 14 years to produce an Olympian and to achieve that level

of ability you should be doing somewhere in the region of between

20-30 hours a week probably. One of the girls who won at the European

Championships is as young as 13, why are they so young? Unlike many

sports you have to dedicate that time, get them in early because

there is skills to learn. Rebecca wasn't the only member to come home

with a medal. Rebecca was part of the squad that won an historic team

silver. Loads of success at junior level, six in total. Becky's younger

sister Ellie who is 15 won gold and silver as part of the team and

bronze in the all-round competition where gymnasts compete on all four

different apparatus. She is the gold medallist. Next it's the boys' turn.

The boys will be hoping Team GB's success at these championships can

get to new heights. It's 20 metres tall and spends its

days gobbling poisonous gases, this giant poster shown off in Sheffield

is the latest pollution-fighting invention to hit the streets. The

epic sign is coated with a pollution-eating material that eats

up things called nitrogen oxides which are pumped out by cars. You

can't see or feel them, nitrogen oxides have been linked to breathing

problems including asthma. Now take a look at these huge barrel

jellyfish. They washed up on the Dorset coast last week and now lots

more have been spotted in waters in Cornwall. The huge tops of the

jellyfish can measure the same size as a dustbin lid with the tentacles

reaching as much as 6ft. The sting isn't severe enough to harm humans

but it's best not to touch them. He has won titles in Holland, Spain

and Germany and now Louis Van Gaal has been given the task of turning

Manchester United back into title contenders. After a disastrous

season they've turned to the Netherlands boss. Next a team that

could teach United a thing or two about turning round their fortunes.

Last season Upham Primary School's football team finished bottom of

their league in Hampshire. In a turnaround they now stand on the

brink of representing their country at an international tournament after

going the whole season unbeaten. When you win you have this amazing

buzz and dren Lynne. All the -- and the adrenalin. The final is tense

but we seem to go through it all right. If football is your thing

head to the website for the bizarre transfer season of the summer. While

you are there check out this cute orang-utan gallery. And there's more

on Justin Timberlake winning in America. By the looks of things he

had a brilliant time and picked up seven awards. Katy Perry won top

female artist and 17-year-old Lorde won in two categories. Head to the

website if you fancy more of that. That's all from me and the team. We

are back at 6. 50pm.
