Good morning, Jenny here, live with Tuesday's top stories.

0:00:120:00:16

First up, there's just one day to go until the Paralympic Games begin

0:00:160:00:19

in Rio de Janeiro in Brazil.

0:00:190:00:20

But the build-up to the event has been tricky, with a financial crisis

0:00:200:00:23

and lack of ticket sales causing problems for organisers.

0:00:230:00:25

So will Rio be ready? Martin has been finding out.

0:00:250:00:32

London and Beijing were game-changers for

0:00:340:00:35

the Paralympic Games - creating huge interest and bringing

0:00:350:00:37

about a change in views towards disability sport.

0:00:370:00:44

The hope was that Rio's beautiful backdrop would do the same.

0:00:440:00:46

But there are worries that the Brazilian city might not be

0:00:460:00:49

ready for the Paralympics.

0:00:490:00:54

Never before in the 56 year history of the Paralympic Games have

0:00:540:00:57

we faced circumstances like this.

0:00:570:01:02

A lack of money seems to be the cause of most issues.

0:01:020:01:05

Cash meant for the Paralympics was used during the Olympics instead

0:01:050:01:07

to help fix problems such as green diving pools.

0:01:070:01:15

Now the Deodoro Park, which was a big part

0:01:150:01:17

of the Olympics, will be closed to the public because there

0:01:170:01:19

isn't enough money.

0:01:190:01:24

And ten countries might not be able to send their athletes to compete

0:01:240:01:27

because they were sent the money for flights late.

0:01:270:01:29

But one British Paralympian going for gold in Rio believes

0:01:290:01:31

the challenges can be beaten.

0:01:310:01:33

Disabled athletes are used to overcoming barriers.

0:01:330:01:39

We do it daily, so, I think we'll be fine.

0:01:390:01:41

We'll take each day as it comes.

0:01:410:01:49

Organisers have been busy promoting the Paralympics

0:01:500:01:52

to help boost ticket sales.

0:01:520:01:53

A campaign has also been started asking people to donate money to buy

0:01:530:01:57

tickets for children from Brazil.

0:01:570:02:01

Locals in Rio believe the event will be another proud moment

0:02:010:02:03

for the city.

0:02:030:02:06

TRANSLATION: I think the Paralympic Games will make

0:02:060:02:11

the city even happier, and the whole of Brazil as well.

0:02:110:02:16

There are a lot of expectations and I'm looking forward to great show.

0:02:160:02:22

All Rio can do now is hope

0:02:220:02:25

that 11 action-packed days of competition will help people

0:02:250:02:27

forget the city's rocky road to the Paralympics.

0:02:270:02:32

Moving on, the huge forest fire that destroyed large

0:02:340:02:36

areas of southern Spain - near to holiday areas,

0:02:360:02:38

like Benidorm - has been brought under control by emergency services.

0:02:380:02:41

300 firefighters tackled the blaze and more than 1,400 people had to be

0:02:410:02:44

evacuated from their homes.

0:02:440:02:50

The Spanish police think some of the fires might have

0:02:500:02:52

been started on purpose.

0:02:520:02:56

Wales had a brilliant start to their 2018 World Cup

0:02:570:03:00

qualifying campaign, beating Moldova 4-0.

0:03:000:03:01

They led 2-0 at half-time, thanks to goals from

0:03:010:03:05

Sam Vokes and Joe Allen.

0:03:050:03:07

Gareth Bale netted a third, then his last-minute penalty took

0:03:070:03:09

Wales to the top of their group.

0:03:090:03:13

From Wales to England, and Big Sam Allardyce -

0:03:130:03:15

the new England boss - got a win in his first match

0:03:150:03:18

in charge this weekend, but who else applied for his job?

0:03:180:03:20

This might surprise you. Here's Naz.

0:03:200:03:25

The iconic Wembley Stadium, home of English football.

0:03:250:03:27

Where you can watch footballing stars like Wayne Rooney,

0:03:270:03:33

Jordan Henderson and Dele Alli showoff their skills.

0:03:330:03:39

Schoolboys Harlan and Jonathan haven't come here with their

0:03:410:03:43

friends to watch footy.

0:03:430:03:44

They're here because they reckon they're just the kind of managers

0:03:440:03:47

the England team needs.

0:03:470:03:49

Boys, take it up, get to the goal!

0:03:490:03:55

The boys wrote this well-written job application to the people looking

0:03:550:03:57

for a new England manager.

0:03:570:03:59

They told them all the qualities they have for the job and even went

0:03:590:04:02

as far as naming their own backroom staff, their friends, all aged 10.

0:04:020:04:09

But they didn't get the job. This man did - Sam Allardyce.

0:04:100:04:17

Instead, they got a special invite for a behind the scenes

0:04:170:04:19

tour of Wembley.

0:04:190:04:20

Here they are having a sneak peek inside the manager's office.

0:04:200:04:25

What are you doing in here then? Are you after my job?

0:04:250:04:27

What a cool surprise!

0:04:270:04:32

Let's see what question the boys have for the new England manager.

0:04:320:04:35

Do you think you're good enough to bring success to English

0:04:350:04:38

football and why?

0:04:380:04:41

The answer to that is yes, otherwise I wouldn't be sat behind this desk.

0:04:410:04:45

Why? Because I have 25 years of experience.

0:04:450:04:47

What's your favourite formation?

0:04:470:04:50

For me, a system has to be devised on the players that play

0:04:500:04:53

and the system suiting the players. So, I can change my system.

0:04:530:04:56

Basically, the last few years, it's been a 4-3-3.

0:04:560:05:02

Whoa!

0:05:020:05:03

Wait a minute, Sam, I can't believe you just told them all your secrets!

0:05:030:05:08

Right then, get out!

0:05:080:05:09

I have a feeling they'll be back in the future, big Sam...

0:05:090:05:16

The first of J.K Rowling's new Harry Potter short eBooks are out today.

0:05:160:05:19

The first three titles in the 'Pottermore Presents' series

0:05:190:05:21

will be published online.

0:05:210:05:23

Each book has new stories from the wizarding world that

0:05:230:05:25

are meant to be read in about an hour.

0:05:250:05:30

And finally, to a surprising bond that's formed between a dog

0:05:310:05:33

and some orphaned piglets. You'll want to see these pictures.

0:05:330:05:36

After their mother died, these piglets in Cuba

0:05:360:05:37

needed someone to feed them.

0:05:370:05:42

Locals took them to a dog, who had recently had puppies,

0:05:420:05:44

to see if she'd nurse them as well.

0:05:440:05:46

She quickly took care of them, as if they were her own pups!

0:05:460:05:51

That's all this morning. Newsround's back at 4:20pm with Ricky.
