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.
