Hello guys. This is Newsround with Ricky and Leah. You're in the right

:00:24.:00:28.

place for Wednesday's big stories including some of this. Could there

:00:28.:00:37.

be an eighth Harry Potter? We hear from JK Rowling. Find out how Pam

:00:38.:00:47.
:00:48.:00:48.

Persian Gulf your pooch isn't always perfect. -- Pam pering your

:00:49.:00:51.

pooch isn't always perfect. First though there's only been one story

:00:51.:00:55.

across the country this week - the weather. The worst September storms

:00:55.:00:58.

for 30 years have battered the UK. For a second day people are having

:00:58.:01:00.

to deal with flooded homes and rivers breaking their banks. The

:01:01.:01:04.

north of England is one of the worst affected places. Joe's in the

:01:04.:01:14.

village of Newburn near Newcastle. What's the latest there? This used

:01:14.:01:20.

to be a road. The water has started to go away, but left all the mud

:01:20.:01:22.

and rubble. Tonnes of it. Completely ruined transport around

:01:22.:01:27.

this village and all day there have been trucks coming in and filling

:01:28.:01:32.

must have seen five or six trucks and there's still a load to go.

:01:32.:01:42.
:01:42.:01:44.

It's not just here. As you can see, over there. The foundations have

:01:44.:01:48.

been torn away. The area was evacuated and all the people have

:01:48.:01:51.

been moved away, but the emergency services are keeping a watch on

:01:51.:01:55.

that in case it collapses. Also, look at this car here. Completely

:01:55.:02:00.

trapped by all the mud. It goes to show how quick these things can

:02:00.:02:10.
:02:10.:02:12.

happen. It's not just down here that's actually causing problems.

:02:12.:02:15.

Just over 15 minutes down the road from here, the rain caused loads of

:02:15.:02:18.

problems in Newcastle. Carlos' school was one of the schools that

:02:18.:02:28.
:02:28.:02:29.

was closed yesterday. It was soaking wet. They had to box up

:02:29.:02:35.

everything to make it dry up. It was -- I was also very disappointed

:02:35.:02:40.

because we were going on a trip, but unfortunately they cancelled it.

:02:40.:02:48.

That's because of the torrential rain. It's not just the north aast

:02:48.:02:51.

of England that's been affected. Parts of Yorkshire were also hit.

:02:51.:02:54.

The River Wharfe in York burst its banks, closing roads and and more

:02:54.:02:57.

than 2,000 homes and business were warned they could be flooded. The

:02:57.:03:00.

problems aren't over yet. Parts of the south of England could see lots

:03:00.:03:03.

of rain over the next few days. The Environment Agency has warned

:03:03.:03:13.
:03:13.:03:15.

people there could be floods in Tewkesbury in Gloucestershire.

:03:15.:03:20.

There are those who are enjoying this. This bodyboarder got a lift

:03:20.:03:24.

home. Don't try this in the street where you have floodwaters, but it

:03:25.:03:29.

proves how deep the waters are. The clean-up will continue for a few

:03:29.:03:35.

days and we'll keep you updated. Joe, thank you very much. The sheer

:03:35.:03:45.
:03:45.:03:47.

devastation is pretty amazing. Now take a look at this. It's a new

:03:47.:03:49.

image from the super powerful Hubble telescope. It gives us a

:03:49.:03:52.

glimpse into deep space, revealing galaxies that formed nearly 14

:03:52.:03:55.

billion years ago. This image is made up of ten years of space

:03:55.:03:57.

searching by the Hubble telescope. Astronomers says it shows over

:03:57.:04:00.

5,000 more galaxies than we've seen before, giving the deepest ever

:04:00.:04:03.

view of space. Now to a big scientific voyage around the world

:04:03.:04:09.

to find out more about the depths of our oceans. It should tell us

:04:10.:04:16.

more about how our oceans work and how healthy they are. This is

:04:16.:04:21.

plankton, plants and animals that drift through our seas and oceans.

:04:21.:04:25.

They hold vital information about our planet. For the last two-and-a-

:04:25.:04:29.

half years scientists have taken this boat around the world's seas

:04:29.:04:34.

and oceans on an epic 70,000-mile trip. Now they're in London and I'm

:04:34.:04:41.

here to speak to some of the We have discovered something like

:04:41.:04:44.

one million new species. They're hoping that studying them will help

:04:44.:04:49.

them work out what affect climate change is having on life beneath

:04:49.:04:55.

the waves. Microscopic organisms are really important for us and for

:04:55.:04:58.

the well-being of the planet, but every second breath that you

:04:58.:05:02.

breathe you are breathing oxygen that comes from them. It's like an

:05:02.:05:06.

invisible forest. That's not the only discovery the expedition has

:05:06.:05:10.

made. In the waters around the Antarctic they discovered high

:05:10.:05:14.

levels of very tiny pieces of broken down plastic. We were

:05:14.:05:19.

surprised to see so much plastics so far from where we live. It's

:05:19.:05:23.

obviously coming from fishermen's neets and also coming from our rub

:05:23.:05:30.

-- nets and also from our rubbish and they get eaten by seabirds and

:05:30.:05:34.

fish and whales and they release poisons and then we eat the fish

:05:34.:05:40.

and we get them back into our bodies too. There's no rest for

:05:40.:05:42.

these scientists. They'll been showing off their work in London

:05:42.:05:46.

and in France and then it's off to the Arctic to do some more

:05:46.:05:56.
:05:56.:06:02.

exploring. Moving on, and if you're a Hogwarts fan - then listen up. In

:06:02.:06:05.

an exclusive interview with the BBC, Harry Potter writer JK Rowling has

:06:05.:06:13.

hinted there might be more stories from the wizard world to come.

:06:13.:06:18.

had a fabulous idea I would oh do it. I don't want to pick up odds

:06:18.:06:22.

and ends and glue them together and think we can sell this. It would be

:06:22.:06:29.

- it would make a mockery of what those books were to me. I'm not

:06:29.:06:34.

sure we'll see one. Now it's not unusual to see celebrities carrying

:06:34.:06:37.

their miniature pets in their handbags or under their arms. But

:06:37.:06:41.

the charity Battersea Dogs and Cats Home says it's worried about the

:06:41.:06:43.

trend. It's seeing more and more animals handed in because owners

:06:43.:06:50.

can't cope with their pampered pooches bad behaviour. Some of us

:06:50.:06:55.

may enjoy the Pam pering and grooming, but it can turn anyone

:06:55.:07:02.

into a diva. This is princess. She was handed into Battersea and knows

:07:03.:07:09.

just what it's its like to be a pampered pooch. She came in, in her

:07:09.:07:12.

own handbag with her own wardrobe. Because of that, she had been

:07:12.:07:16.

carried around and she wasn't used to being on the floor and scared of

:07:16.:07:20.

dogs and new people. How is the way that princess has been brought up

:07:20.:07:24.

affected her? Because she is not used to things and quite scared, it

:07:24.:07:29.

means that she does tend - she was snapy when she came in, and if

:07:29.:07:32.

something frightened her she would snap and she wasn't used to

:07:32.:07:37.

anything apart from being carried around. We are used to see dogs

:07:37.:07:40.

carried by celebrities like handbags, but the charity says it's

:07:40.:07:45.

seen a number of minutey dogs coming through the doors go up by

:07:45.:07:48.

half this year. We are seeing a massive rise. We have getting so

:07:48.:07:52.

much more toy breeds in. They all have the behaviour problems and

:07:52.:08:00.

they are all quite snapy. Everyone that is fine, but when it goes too

:08:01.:08:04.

far and they're treated like babies, then they don't walk on the floor,

:08:04.:08:08.

they're always carried and it's OK a little bit, but I think it's when

:08:08.:08:11.

it goes too far. The home is advising people to do research

:08:11.:08:17.

before they buy a dog and to remember a dog is a dog, and not a

:08:17.:08:23.

fashion accessory. Thank you very much. My dog is a Yorkshire terrier

:08:23.:08:28.

miniature and she doesn't like to go out when it's raining, but we

:08:28.:08:32.

take her. Lady Gaga has hit back against people who have criticised

:08:32.:08:35.

her for putting on weight. She wrote online, "I am proud at any

:08:35.:08:40.

size. This is who I am. When I eat and am healthy and not so worried

:08:40.:08:47.

about my looks, I'm happy." Good for you. On Friday we're looking at

:08:47.:08:51.
