Hello again. Leah here with today's top stories. Stick with around for | :00:00. | :00:07. | |
some of this. Fancy a bit of digital dribbling? We check out when this | :00:08. | :00:11. | |
robot played football with the President of the United States. And | :00:12. | :00:15. | |
we'll bring you the base jump from the world's tallest building. This | :00:16. | :00:17. | |
is Newsround. But first the bidding process to | :00:18. | :00:27. | |
host matches for the 2020 European Football Championships kicks off | :00:28. | :00:31. | |
today. It might seem a long way off but officials in England, Wales, | :00:32. | :00:34. | |
Scotland and Northern Ireland will be busy putting forward why their | :00:35. | :00:41. | |
stadiums should host the Games. For the first time, matches will be held | :00:42. | :00:44. | |
in countries across Europe. Ricky has more. The chance to be part of | :00:45. | :00:49. | |
the largest footy competition after the World Cup. That's what's at | :00:50. | :00:52. | |
stake today as countries put themselves forward for the Euros in | :00:53. | :00:57. | |
2020. The tournament will be held all around Europe rather than in one | :00:58. | :01:01. | |
or two countries. England, Scotland, the Republic of Ireland and Wales | :01:02. | :01:04. | |
have all placed bids to host matches. Wembley Stadium in London | :01:05. | :01:07. | |
is used to hosting big football games including the FA Cup finals. | :01:08. | :01:12. | |
It's one of the larger stadiums in the running with space for 90,000 | :01:13. | :01:15. | |
fans. The Millennium Stadium in Cardiff has just under 75,000 seats. | :01:16. | :01:20. | |
Built to host the 1999 Rugby World Cup, it's hosted many big games and | :01:21. | :01:25. | |
concerts since. Scotland is putting Glasgow's Hampden Park forward. It | :01:26. | :01:29. | |
has room for 52,000 fans and is hosting events at this summer's | :01:30. | :01:33. | |
Commonwealth Games. And the Republic of Ireland is hoping the Aviva | :01:34. | :01:36. | |
Stadium in Dublin will be selected for what could be its first major | :01:37. | :01:41. | |
championships. But is it likely that any will be chosen? In Wales's | :01:42. | :01:44. | |
favour they are actually hosting the UEFA Super Cup Final in the summer | :01:45. | :01:48. | |
so that's a good dress rehearsal for them so they can show to UEFA, if | :01:49. | :01:52. | |
they can do a good job hosting that match in the summer then perhaps | :01:53. | :01:55. | |
they stand an even better chance of hosting some of those matches at | :01:56. | :01:59. | |
Euro 2020. UEFA, the organisation behind European football, will tell | :02:00. | :02:03. | |
us in September who has been chosen. Showbiz news now and the One | :02:04. | :02:06. | |
Direction boys are gearing up for their first leg of their massive | :02:07. | :02:09. | |
world tour in Colombia in South America later today. They'll be back | :02:10. | :02:13. | |
here in the UK in about a month's time. And just because we know you | :02:14. | :02:17. | |
love them we caught up with Chi Chi Izundu from Radio One Newsbeat to | :02:18. | :02:21. | |
find out why the tour is such a big deal. Groups like One Direction go | :02:22. | :02:25. | |
one tour because it really is about the only way you can make money | :02:26. | :02:28. | |
these days in the music industry. Whilst they're on tour they get to | :02:29. | :02:31. | |
do things like sell merchandise, like T-shirts, cups were their name, | :02:32. | :02:35. | |
books, stickers, you name it. They can add that to the end of how much | :02:36. | :02:40. | |
they're going to make at the end of the tour. We don't exactly know why | :02:41. | :02:43. | |
One Direction are starting their tour in Colombia. We do know that | :02:44. | :02:47. | |
this is their biggest tour to date. They have managed to get millions of | :02:48. | :02:51. | |
fans across the world and it's thanks to how much they Tweet. | :02:52. | :02:54. | |
They're always on Twitter. Always updating fans about what they're | :02:55. | :02:57. | |
doing, what they're up to, and they are one of the few bands who don't | :02:58. | :03:01. | |
mind if you stop them and ask them for a picture. So obviously, they | :03:02. | :03:05. | |
are trying to give all their fans as much time with One Direction as | :03:06. | :03:09. | |
possible. Seven British divers from the 2012 Olympics, including bronze | :03:10. | :03:12. | |
medallist Tom Daley, will compete at London's Aquatics Centre today in | :03:13. | :03:18. | |
the World Diving Series. It's the first event to be held there since | :03:19. | :03:22. | |
the London Olympics. But as Tom says, it's been really difficult for | :03:23. | :03:25. | |
him to find a new diving partner since his Olympic team-mate Pete | :03:26. | :03:30. | |
Waterfield retired. I always want to try and find a syncro partner but | :03:31. | :03:34. | |
it's kind of tough to find someone that does the same difficult dives I | :03:35. | :03:38. | |
do in this country. Leading into 2016, there's no point wasting too | :03:39. | :03:41. | |
much energy on something that isn't going to get an Olympic medal so if | :03:42. | :03:45. | |
it's going to be fighting for sixth or seventh place, I'd rather kind of | :03:46. | :03:49. | |
not focus on that and focus on trying to get a gold medal | :03:50. | :03:51. | |
individually. Next, check out American President Barack Obama, | :03:52. | :03:52. | |
playing football with a robot. OK, I'm ready. Good job. The | :03:53. | :04:09. | |
President was in Japan as part of a big tour of Asia, and was visiting | :04:10. | :04:13. | |
students at a science and tech museum in Tokyo. A kangaroo has been | :04:14. | :04:16. | |
saved from drowning in a back garden swimming pool in Australia. The | :04:17. | :04:19. | |
animal fell into the pool in Victoria state and couldn't get out | :04:20. | :04:23. | |
as these pictures from a helicopter show. Rescuers were quick to the | :04:24. | :04:26. | |
scene and managed to sedate the animal before helping it out. It was | :04:27. | :04:30. | |
taken to a nearby zoo to get treatment for being too cold. Two | :04:31. | :04:38. | |
sky divers have set a new world record by jumping from the world's | :04:39. | :04:41. | |
tallest building, the Burj Khalifa in Dubai, over 800 metres up. They | :04:42. | :04:47. | |
loved doing it so much they went back and did it all over again. | :04:48. | :04:51. | |
That's all from me. Ricky will have your top stories later this | :04:52. | :04:54. | |
afternoon at 4.20pm this afternoon. Bye bye. | :04:55. | :04:57. |
