Leah here with your top stories this Tuesday morning.

:00:00.:00:00.

Thousands of flies take over this bridge...

:00:00.:00:09.

And the boy who's travelling to every London Underground station.

:00:10.:00:13.

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

:00:14.:00:28.

With the Rio Games just three days away, Tom Daley has

:00:29.:00:32.

just landed in Brazil - a moment he's been working

:00:33.:00:34.

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

:00:35.:00:45.

as hard as I possibly can to make my third Olympic

:00:46.:00:47.

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

:00:48.:00:52.

years old and managed to compete when I was 14.

:00:53.:00:55.

Then in 2009, I won the World Championships,

:00:56.:00:57.

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

:00:58.:01:01.

always wanted to win an Olympic gold medal.

:01:02.:01:04.

Then, in London 2012, it was the home Olympics

:01:05.:01:06.

and it was the most exciting thing ever.

:01:07.:01:08.

There was 18,000 people coming to support me.

:01:09.:01:10.

My friends, my family, millions watching at home,

:01:11.:01:12.

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

:01:13.:01:16.

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

:01:17.:01:18.

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

:01:19.:01:22.

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

:01:23.:01:24.

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

:01:25.:01:28.

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

:01:29.:01:32.

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

:01:33.:01:35.

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

:01:36.:01:39.

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

:01:40.:01:43.

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

:01:44.:01:47.

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

:01:48.:01:50.

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

:01:51.:01:55.

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

:01:56.:01:58.

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

:01:59.:02:00.

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

:02:01.:02:03.

in the weight room, with my nutrition,

:02:04.:02:04.

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

:02:05.:02:10.

and a half somersaults with one twist.

:02:11.:02:12.

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

:02:13.:02:16.

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

:02:17.:02:19.

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

:02:20.:02:22.

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

:02:23.:02:27.

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

:02:28.:02:32.

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

:02:33.:02:35.

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

:02:36.:02:39.

And if you didn't already know, there are two Olympic sports making

:02:40.:02:51.

a comeback at the games in Rio - golf is one and the other

:02:52.:02:54.

Team GB are fielding both a men's and women's team.

:02:55.:02:59.

Many of the players say they're drawing inspiration from the other

:03:00.:03:01.

Obviously it's the first time many of us have ever been

:03:02.:03:12.

Obviously it's the first time any of us have ever been

:03:13.:03:14.

in an Olympic Games, and we are just trying to soak it up

:03:15.:03:17.

as much as possible but return a little bit of focus

:03:18.:03:20.

on what it is we've got to do as well.

:03:21.:03:22.

We are already here in the holding camp, and we are around some

:03:23.:03:26.

of the swimmers and athletes arrived the other day so household names

:03:27.:03:28.

are already all around us, which is hugely inspiring.

:03:29.:03:31.

Now to the 13-year-old travelling to every London Underground

:03:32.:03:33.

Jenny has been looking into this incredible challenge.

:03:34.:03:36.

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

:03:37.:03:39.

They're trying to travel through every tube station

:03:40.:03:43.

on the London Underground network - all 270 of them!

:03:44.:03:48.

We have just been through the 67th station.

:03:49.:03:50.

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

:03:51.:03:56.

where they only had the tube driver for company!

:03:57.:03:59.

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

:04:00.:04:07.

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

:04:08.:04:10.

He unfortunately passed away after all the treatment in March

:04:11.:04:21.

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

:04:22.:04:25.

Difficult but it's quite a positive thing.

:04:26.:04:32.

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

:04:33.:04:35.

all through London, people we've never met,

:04:36.:04:37.

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

:04:38.:04:40.

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

:04:41.:04:45.

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

:04:46.:04:48.

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

:04:49.:04:51.

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

:04:52.:04:55.

Now over at Newsround online, we're asking for your reviews

:04:56.:05:02.

The new script was released at the weekend and Poppy's already

:05:03.:05:09.

I read Harry Potter The Cursed Child and couldn't put it down. The plot

:05:10.:05:26.

was full of action and adventure. I liked the book because it was

:05:27.:05:30.

written in the form of a script which makes it an easy yet

:05:31.:05:34.

interesting read. I would rate it five stars.

:05:35.:05:35.

These incredible pictures show hundreds of thousands of mayflies

:05:36.:05:37.

taking over a bridge in South Eastern Poland.

:05:38.:05:39.

They're not harmful to humans and scientists think it's proof

:05:40.:05:42.

that the environment is clean because mayflies

:05:43.:05:44.
