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. | |

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. |
