Hey, everyone - Leah here with your top stories

0:00:100:00:12

this Tuesday morning.

0:00:120:00:15

He's one of the most famous faces of Team GB - Tom Daley.

0:00:150:00:18

The star diver has landed in Rio in Brazil for the Olympics,

0:00:180:00:22

which are now just three days away.

0:00:220:00:26

It's a moment he's been working eight years for.

0:00:260:00:29

Hi, I'm Tom Daley and over the last eight years I've been working

0:00:360:00:40

as hard as I possibly can to make my third Olympic

0:00:400:00:42

dream come true.

0:00:420:00:44

I started back in 2008 in Beijing, when I qualified when I was 13

0:00:440:00:47

years old and managed to compete when I was 14.

0:00:470:00:50

Then in 2009, I won the World Championships,

0:00:500:00:53

and ever since I got a taste of being on top of the world I've

0:00:530:00:56

always wanted to win an Olympic gold medal.

0:00:560:00:58

Then, in London 2012, it was the home Olympics

0:00:580:01:01

and it was the most exciting thing ever.

0:01:010:01:03

There was 18,000 people coming to support me.

0:01:030:01:05

My friends, my family, millions watching at home,

0:01:050:01:08

so there was a lot of pressure, and to come away with an Olympic

0:01:080:01:12

bronze medal is something I've always, always dreamed of.

0:01:120:01:14

To win an Olympic medal and go to the Olympics in front of a home

0:01:140:01:17

crowd is something that's so hard to put into words.

0:01:170:01:20

Then after that, 2013 was one of my toughest years of diving.

0:01:200:01:23

I was injured with a bad tricep, my back two and a half somersaults

0:01:230:01:27

with two and a half twists, which was one of the dives I had

0:01:270:01:30

to redo in the Olympic final, started to go really downhill

0:01:300:01:34

and I was so terrified every single time that I went to the diving pool.

0:01:340:01:37

But I managed to get through it, and I took a bit of time out.

0:01:370:01:41

I took six weeks to travel the world and do what I wanted to do

0:01:410:01:45

to try and reset my brain.

0:01:450:01:46

Then I came back to diving and wanted a little bit of a change

0:01:460:01:50

so I moved to London and I had a new coach, Jane Figueiredo,

0:01:500:01:53

and ever since then I haven't really looked back.

0:01:530:01:55

I've been working as hard as I possibly can -

0:01:550:01:57

in the weight room, with my nutrition,

0:01:570:01:59

psychology, everything.

0:01:590:02:00

And then I also had to learn a new dive, which is a forward three

0:02:000:02:04

and a half somersaults with one twist.

0:02:040:02:07

It was a bit of a risk, actually, to learn a new dive so close

0:02:070:02:11

to the Olympic Games but I've been working on consistency.

0:02:110:02:13

Now, going into Rio 2016, I feel like I'm in my peak

0:02:130:02:16

form, peak shape.

0:02:160:02:19

Hopefully, going into this competition, I just want to go out

0:02:190:02:22

there and win an Olympic gold medal.

0:02:220:02:24

I know it's something that seems surreal to say,

0:02:240:02:27

but I have to believe that I can win that Olympic gold medal,

0:02:270:02:30

and I'm going to fight to the very end with the Chinese divers.

0:02:300:02:33

But, you know, wish me luck.

0:02:330:02:39

Here's an unusual way to spend your summer holidays -

0:02:430:02:45

one 13-year-old has been travelling to every London Underground

0:02:450:02:48

station in one day.

0:02:480:02:50

But there's a serious side to the challenge.

0:02:500:02:53

Here's Jenny.

0:02:530:02:55

Let's go!

0:02:550:02:57

It's just after 10am and Ally is on a very special journey

0:02:570:02:59

with his mum and dad.

0:02:590:03:02

They're trying to travel through every tube station

0:03:020:03:04

on the London Underground network - all 270 of them!

0:03:040:03:10

We have just been through the 67th station.

0:03:100:03:14

The next is London Bridge.

0:03:140:03:16

The day started in Chesham, way out in zone nine,

0:03:160:03:19

where they only had the tube driver for company!

0:03:190:03:21

Just got a message from Gilly.

0:03:210:03:23

Over ?7,000 so we have gone up a thousand in a day. Wow.

0:03:230:03:29

They're raising money for a cancer research charity after Ally's older

0:03:290:03:32

brother died earlier this year.

0:03:320:03:35

It was obviously very hard for me.

0:03:350:03:39

He unfortunately passed away after all the treatment in March

0:03:390:03:43

this year, so I decided to make sure no one else has to go through that,

0:03:430:03:47

that I would raise funds.

0:03:470:03:50

Difficult but it's quite a positive thing.

0:03:500:03:53

We've had so much support from so many people,

0:03:530:04:00

all through London, people we've never met,

0:04:000:04:01

people who just picked up on the story, Transport for London,

0:04:010:04:05

Bloodwise, the charity itself.

0:04:050:04:07

It's all really feel-good in that respect.

0:04:070:04:09

So yes, it is hard, we wish we weren't having to do this,

0:04:090:04:12

but it has also been a really positive experience as well.

0:04:120:04:15

It was a lot of hard work but Ally made it to his final stop

0:04:150:04:18

and completed the challenge.

0:04:180:04:21

Take a look at these incredible pictures showing hundreds

0:04:230:04:25

of thousands of mayflies taking over a bridge

0:04:250:04:29

in south eastern Poland.

0:04:290:04:32

Officials cleared them away using snow shovels.

0:04:320:04:36

It happens just once a year and scientists

0:04:360:04:38

believe their presence is proof that the environment is clean.

0:04:380:04:48

That's

0:04:480:04:48

That's because

0:04:480:04:49

That's because mayflies

0:04:490:04:49

That's because mayflies live

0:04:490:04:49

That's because mayflies live in

0:04:490:04:49

That's because mayflies live in fresh

0:04:490:04:49

That's because mayflies live in fresh water.

0:04:490:04:51

That's all from me.
