Hello, guys, Leah here with tonight's Newsround.

:00:00.:00:08.

First, a huge international rescue operation is happening in Serbia

:00:09.:00:11.

and Bosnia in South-East Europe to help people stuck in some of the

:00:12.:00:15.

Three months' worth of rain has fallen on the Balkans in just

:00:16.:00:21.

And as many as 500,000 people had been evacuated or left their homes.

:00:22.:00:27.

The BBC's Guy Delauney was in one of the worst hit towns in Serbia

:00:28.:00:31.

This time as, believe it or not, finally drying out. This is

:00:32.:00:46.

Obrenovac about 20 miles away from the capital Belgrade in Serbia. It

:00:47.:00:50.

was one of the worst hit places anywhere in the Balkans when we had

:00:51.:00:53.

these amazing floods that swept the region, the worst for more than 100

:00:54.:00:57.

years. As you can see, plenty vehicles are still stuck in the

:00:58.:01:08.

water. The tide marks show you exactly how high the water went.

:01:09.:01:13.

Despite that, some people stayed in their houses and rescue workers have

:01:14.:01:16.

been trying to bring essential supplies to them. We are expecting

:01:17.:01:23.

-- an expected surge down the river didn't happen but there may be

:01:24.:01:29.

another one later in the week. That would be a devastating blow for

:01:30.:01:33.

people in this town. We are keeping their fingers crossed that the

:01:34.:01:35.

weather stays good at what has continued to recede.

:01:36.:01:38.

She's described her win as "the most amazing thing ever".

:01:39.:01:41.

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

:01:42.:01:44.

at the European Gymnastics Championships, becoming only

:01:45.:01:46.

the second British woman ever to win an individual European title.

:01:47.:01:48.

It's fair to say the achievements of Team GB's gymnasts have been

:01:49.:01:52.

getting the Newsround office in to a bit of a spin.

:01:53.:01:55.

BBC Sport's Nick Hope has this update from the championships.

:01:56.:02:03.

Welcome to the capital of Ontario with the British women's gymnastics

:02:04.:02:10.

team have been some this week. Rebecca Downie was the star running

:02:11.:02:17.

the uneven bars gold. She also won a team silver. Six medals in total.

:02:18.:02:33.

Her 13-year-old team-mate won the gold on the floor and also bronze

:02:34.:02:38.

and silver medals for a meeting, a certain star for the future.

:02:39.:02:42.

That's all from me, but head to Newsround online to see

:02:43.:02:45.

more pictures like this from a gallery of cute animals.

:02:46.:02:48.

They're so cute, plus there's loads more to keep you busy.
