:00:12. > :00:14.and I have everything you need to know today on the way. The Queen
:00:15. > :00:24.celebrates 60 years since her Coronation. And, the floodwater that
:00:25. > :00:25.
:00:25. > :00:28.keeps on coming. This is Newsround. More towns are at risk of being
:00:28. > :00:31.swamped as floodwaters spread through central Europe. Many homes
:00:31. > :00:35.are already under water and cities in southern and eastern Germany are
:00:35. > :00:39.on high alert. Water here is flowing six times higher than its normal
:00:39. > :00:44.level and thousands of people have had to leave their homes for safety.
:00:44. > :00:47.Some areas haven't seen anything like this for 500 years. It could be
:00:47. > :00:50.days before the water levels go down. With the forecasts constantly
:00:50. > :00:56.changing people living here have a nervous wait to see what happens
:00:56. > :01:02.next. BBC reporter Christian fraser is in the Czech Republic.
:01:02. > :01:06.You can see here the river is starting to overflow the kerb. It's
:01:06. > :01:10.rising at 15 centimetres an hour. People further down the valley are
:01:10. > :01:18.cut off already. All they can do is sit and wait. It's still raining.
:01:18. > :01:22.It's predicted to rise another two metres.
:01:22. > :01:26.Next, 60 years in the same job, and it's remarkable when that job is the
:01:26. > :01:31.Queen of England. Today London was in celebratory mood as it marked the
:01:31. > :01:35.years since the Queen's Coronation. The Queen arrived at Westminster
:01:35. > :01:39.Abbey today for a service designed to mark and remember the 60 years
:01:39. > :01:43.she has served the country. She was joined by Prince Charles who was
:01:43. > :01:46.four years old at the time of her Coronation. And the Duke and Duchess
:01:46. > :01:51.of Cambridge. Expecting their first child soon, this Royal couple's
:01:51. > :01:58.first born could one day have its own Coronation here. The procession
:01:58. > :02:02.through the Abbey was a quieter affair than it was 60 years ago.
:02:02. > :02:06.Back then it was a dazzling spectacle both inside and outside
:02:06. > :02:11.the Abbey. Street parties were thrown up and down the country. An
:02:11. > :02:16.estimated 27 million Brits tuned in to watch it on television. The
:02:16. > :02:22.majority, it was the first live event they had ever seen on the box.
:02:22. > :02:26.During today's service a bottle of aromatic oil was taken to the alter
:02:26. > :02:31.by a group of people representing different generations of her reign,
:02:31. > :02:37.from six years to those in their 90s. Many of the same ornaments were
:02:37. > :02:41.used and they even sung some of the same hymns from 60 years ago. The
:02:41. > :02:50.Queen left to greet crowds with the Duke of Edinburgh who looked to have
:02:50. > :02:54.recovered after feeling unwell in recent days.
:02:54. > :02:57.Now to the lady who will follow in the famous footsteps of Julia
:02:57. > :02:59.Donaldson - who wrote The Gruffalo - as well as Tracey Beaker author,
:02:59. > :03:02.Jacqueline Wilson. Remember the name - Malorie Blackman. Just this
:03:02. > :03:05.morning Malorie was announced as the new children's Laureate. She's the
:03:05. > :03:09.bestselling author of the Noughts & Crosses series. She's made it her
:03:09. > :03:15.mission to get YOU all reading for at least ten minutes a day. Mar tip
:03:15. > :03:19.asked her why she got into writing. I have written 60 books and for me
:03:19. > :03:22.the thing about it was having black children as the main characters in
:03:23. > :03:27.them. Because I read thousands of books when I was a child and I
:03:27. > :03:31.didn't read a single one that featured a black child like me, so I
:03:31. > :03:35.thought what can I do? I want to be a writer. The major reason I wanted
:03:35. > :03:43.to be a writer is write children's books that feature black children so
:03:43. > :03:49.all the books I missed as a child I wanted to write. Tinie Tempah is a
:03:49. > :03:55.fan, you mentions you you in one of his songs. My daughter heard it and
:03:55. > :03:59.she came running up the stairs and went you are in the new song! We
:03:59. > :04:06.went on YouTube and played it. It was so bizarre and so wonderful. I
:04:06. > :04:16.thought, I am in a song! And it got to number one! It was wonderful.
:04:16. > :04:19.
:04:19. > :04:22.Thank you. Next, we're talking about smoking
:04:22. > :04:25.and how it affects you. Medical research suggests that more than 800
:04:25. > :04:27.kids go to the doctors everyday for illnesses caused by being around
:04:27. > :04:30.cigarette smoke. The government is reintroducing an advertising
