Kids meet across continents to talk telescopes.

:00:00.:00:08.

If only someone had read that 'Do Not Touch' sign!

:00:09.:00:11.

First this morning, days of heavy rain have lead to severe flooding

:00:12.:00:26.

across large parts of Western Europe.

:00:27.:00:28.

Rivers burst their banks in France, Germany and Austria.

:00:29.:00:30.

Rescue services have been working around the clock

:00:31.:00:36.

Gymnastics now and this guy is pretty special.

:00:37.:00:42.

Nile Wilson's just become the first British person to win

:00:43.:00:45.

gold on the high bar at the European Gymnastics

:00:46.:00:48.

Let's take a look at the moment he won.

:00:49.:00:57.

COMMENTATOR: Come on, Nile, concentrate!

:00:58.:00:58.

Lifts up high, two twists, great landing!

:00:59.:01:00.

This is going to be very, very close indeed.

:01:01.:01:07.

Nile Wilson is European high bar champion.

:01:08.:01:23.

I am delighted to say that Nile joins me now. Let's look at these

:01:24.:01:33.

medals. I've tried a few of these things? It is an incredible moment.

:01:34.:01:39.

You train your whole life, sacrificed so much for special

:01:40.:01:43.

moments like that. It is an amazing feeling to become the European

:01:44.:01:47.

champion. Your performance look flawless. Do you ever feel nervous

:01:48.:01:52.

getting up that high? You get used to the hide. We train for so many

:01:53.:01:58.

years. It is more of the from competing, especially at major

:01:59.:02:02.

events like that. I picked the routine I knew I could do. Another

:02:03.:02:06.

person who did well was Kristian, your team-mate, and you just become.

:02:07.:02:11.

Did you feel bad about beating him? No. The team is very close and we

:02:12.:02:18.

train together and we are all on the same journey, so to do it alongside

:02:19.:02:24.

him felt more special. I felt more comfortable because Christian was

:02:25.:02:30.

the. For him to get a silver was incredible. But good to beat him?

:02:31.:02:37.

Yeah! Hi all your preparations going to Rio? I have not done myself any

:02:38.:02:45.

harm this year. I have had a few excellent results and last week was

:02:46.:02:49.

a massive highlight. If you are getting gold, you're doing all

:02:50.:02:52.

right. Thank you very much, Nile. Thank you.

:02:53.:02:55.

Now to the telescopes mapping out the furthest reaches of space

:02:56.:02:58.

Jodrell Bank in the UK and Carnarvon in South Africa have

:02:59.:03:02.

something that unites them - giant radio telescopes

:03:03.:03:04.

We decided to introduce these kids to each other to find out

:03:05.:03:08.

This is where these kids go to school.

:03:09.:03:13.

And this is where these guys go to school.

:03:14.:03:18.

Different countries, thousands of miles apart with one

:03:19.:03:29.

big thing in common - they both have massive

:03:30.:03:31.

Today, we are bringing them together so that they can find

:03:32.:03:43.

out what their lives have in common.

:03:44.:03:44.

How excited are you guys to speak to the UK?

:03:45.:03:55.

They took loads of fun pictures and stuff, as well.

:03:56.:04:16.

What would you like the telescopes to find?

:04:17.:04:22.

We would like to find movement in space.

:04:23.:04:26.

So, that's what these guys want the telescope to find.

:04:27.:04:33.

I would really like the telescopes to find out if there is really life

:04:34.:04:37.

on Mars because they have already found out that there

:04:38.:04:39.

is water and the gravity is also similar to Earth's.

:04:40.:04:44.

We have had a great time chatting to you lot from South Africa.

:04:45.:04:47.

It has been brilliant, but we have no more time left,

:04:48.:04:50.

And we've loved listening to all those questions here in England

:04:51.:04:56.

Imagine suffering this Lego brick disaster!

:04:57.:05:15.

This giant figure of a fox called Nick from the film Zootopia

:05:16.:05:18.

was smashed to pieces by a four-year-old Chinese boy only

:05:19.:05:21.

It took three days and nights to build.

:05:22.:05:28.

If that's not enough for you, then head to Newsround online

:05:29.:05:31.

for more on all today's stories, including the archaeological dig

:05:32.:05:35.

in London that has uncovered these Roman age writing tablets.

:05:36.:05:38.

They offer a snapshot of life in Roman London and include

:05:39.:05:40.

the oldest hand-written document ever found in Britain.

:05:41.:05:45.

That's all from Team Newsround this morning.

:05:46.:05:47.

Hayley's here at 4.20pm this afternoon.

:05:48.:05:50.
