final Newsround update. But don't be sad. There's all this still to come.

:00:11.:00:14.

We find out about the truth about Tom Daley's micro pigs. And find out

:00:14.:00:20.

how this paddle boarder made history. More than 70,000 cyclists

:00:20.:00:24.

are taking to the streets of London today as part of a weekend festival

:00:24.:00:29.

of the sport. The highlight will be a 100-mile race tomorrow but the

:00:29.:00:32.

event started with an eight-mile ride through central London this

:00:32.:00:35.

morning. Later there'll be a women's criterium which sees professional

:00:35.:00:38.

women cyclists do a city-centre loop, and Olympic Gold medalist

:00:38.:00:41.

Laura Trott says she hopes the event will get more people out on their

:00:42.:00:51.
:00:52.:00:52.

bikes. It has been growing and growing. They wanted to keep the

:00:52.:00:57.

legacy going so having this on the weekend that would have been the

:00:57.:01:02.

games, is amazing. If it can be an annual event, that is exactly what I

:01:02.:01:09.

want to be part of. Mine is the London right crampy and is a 1.3

:01:09.:01:17.

mile loop. It is for an hour around the city. It was the track when it

:01:17.:01:19.

was the Olympics that is nice becoming and riding around the

:01:19.:01:24.

famous landmark. And over on the website we want to know if you'll be

:01:24.:01:34.
:01:34.:01:45.

heading out for a peddle this Some cricket now, and England

:01:45.:01:48.

suffered a big blow just before lunch today as captain Alistair Cook

:01:48.:01:53.

was caught out for 62 runs. It's not been a good morning for the home

:01:53.:01:56.

side, who need to score at least 328 to avoid having to bat again

:01:56.:01:59.

straightaway. Yesterday Australia totalled up a massive score of

:01:59.:02:06.

527-7. It's been a year since Tom Daley

:02:06.:02:10.

scooped a bronze at London 2012 and a lot has happened since. There have

:02:10.:02:13.

been passionate fans, micro pigs and television presenting. The diving

:02:13.:02:17.

hasn't stopped either, and on Monday he came sixth in the 10m platform

:02:17.:02:20.

World Championship final, after battling an arm injury. There's just

:02:20.:02:27.

no stopping him! Here's Leah. A lot has changed for Tom Daley

:02:27.:02:32.

since that important day at London 2012. The public liked him before,

:02:32.:02:37.

and after this they loved him, including David Beckham. 12 months

:02:37.:02:43.

on, it seems like things haven't changed. You get stopped in the

:02:43.:02:46.

street a lot wherever you go, you always get asked for photos,

:02:46.:02:49.

pictures, autographs. It's funny when people come up to me and ask

:02:49.:02:53.

about my cats and things like that. I've got cats and they're like, oh,

:02:53.:02:57.

how are your cats? And the fact that they know my cats names and things

:02:57.:03:00.

like that, it's a little bit surreal, but it's nice that people

:03:01.:03:04.

are interested. A moment he'll never forget is this, picking up his

:03:04.:03:08.

medal, but since then he's had to change the way he lives his life

:03:08.:03:11.

because lots more people are watching his every step. And that's

:03:11.:03:13.

something you always have to remember, that there's always

:03:13.:03:18.

someone watching you, you kinda have to always think like that. Some of

:03:18.:03:22.

the times where you want to be just with your friends and you want to

:03:22.:03:25.

just like have fun and chill out, but it's kinda funny seeing some of

:03:25.:03:30.

the things that turn out about my micro pig that I don't have - the

:03:30.:03:33.

ornament that I tweeted a picture with me in and then all the

:03:33.:03:37.

magazines were like saying that I'd bought this micro pig for �250. And

:03:37.:03:40.

I was like, its funny that because I haven't actually bought a micro pig

:03:40.:03:44.

And right after the Olympic glory Tom was back in the pool, but this

:03:44.:03:49.

time for new TV show Splash. But all of that means if Tom heads out at

:03:49.:03:53.

the weekend he gets mobbed. If I go into town on a weekend I get stopped

:03:53.:03:57.

pretty much by every other person and you kind of have to like triple

:03:57.:04:01.

the amount of time to do things. I do the sunglasses thing, keep your

:04:01.:04:09.

head down and walk. Environmental campaigners in the

:04:09.:04:12.

West Sussex village of Balcombe are protesting for the 10th day at a

:04:12.:04:15.

site where an energy company has begun test drilling for oil.

:04:15.:04:18.

Protesters fear the company will start fracking - a technique used

:04:18.:04:21.

get gas and oil from underground. They're worried the process is too

:04:21.:04:24.

dangerous, could pollute local water supplies and even cause minor

:04:24.:04:30.

earthquakes. Energy firm Cuadrilla says it has no plans to do so.

:04:30.:04:33.

Next, there's been high drama recently on the world's highest

:04:33.:04:36.

mountain, Mount Everest. From next year, expeditions on Everest will be

:04:36.:04:41.

more closely monitored. Officials in Nepal say that for the first time, a

:04:41.:04:44.

government team will be placed at the base camp to help climbing

:04:44.:04:47.

teams, plan rescues and protect the environment.

:04:47.:04:50.

A young Afghani woman has become the country's first ever female

:04:50.:04:54.

aeroplane pilot and a hero for women's rights. Nilafor Remani

:04:54.:04:57.

dreamt of being a pilot since she was a child but fought against

:04:57.:05:07.
:05:07.:05:09.

prejudice to get her job in the Afghan Air Force. It was difficult

:05:09.:05:16.

to beat cars you know the female situation, all the rules for women

:05:16.:05:21.

here. I just wanted to change the culture of the old mines, that we

:05:21.:05:31.
:05:31.:05:33.

second class citizens, but Lilafor says her appointment is a step in

:05:33.:05:36.

the right direction. A US man has become the first person to

:05:36.:05:39.

paddle-board between Cuba and the US. Ben Friberg completed the

:05:39.:05:43.

111-mile voyage in 28 hours. He stood for most of the trip from Port

:05:43.:05:46.

Hemingway, Cuba, to Key West, Florida and his dad was on hand on a

:05:46.:05:50.

support boat to map read and pass him snacks along the way. And
