A hero's welcome for the Welsh football team

And the tense battle to get to the Wimbledon final.

But first, last year more than 3000 children arrived

Many of them immigrants or refugees escaping war or devastation

They often travel thousands of miles to get here across deserts,

I've spoken to one girl called Ruth who left her home of Eritrea

in Africa when she was 14 and spent 6 months walking and

staying in camps on her journey to reach the UK.

We've changed her name and in this animation her words

My home in Eritrea is in a small village. There is no water or school

there so I had to walk two hours to get to school. I would get the water

and I would chop the wood. Life was hard in Eritrea, very hard,

especially for a girl. I have to choices, marry or go into the

military, so I had to leave. I took nothing with me, just the clothes I

was wearing. I could not say goodbye to my family because I knew my mum

would cry. To find out more about children

like Ruth and to watch her story There is also advice if you are

Next to the news that the next prime minister of the UK will be

David Cameron said he is standing down from the job in the Autumn

so now the Conservative Party need to choose a new leader.

Here's BBC political reporter Chris Mason with more.

The big news here is that what we now know is that the next leader of

our government, who takes loads of decisions that affects our lives,

will be a woman. You might think, what is the big deal about that,

because there will be loads of women who are really important in your

life already, teachers, carers, ma'am, grandma. But in hundreds and

hundreds of years, we have only ever had one woman Prime Minister, a lady

called Margaret Thatcher. And yet by the time you go back to school after

the summer holidays, we will have another woman Prime Minister. So it

is a big moment in our history. Who could it be? Theresa May is one of

the candidates, and she has already done a really big job in the

government, doing a job call Home Secretary. Her dad was a vicar and

she is married without children, and is a really big fan of cooking. She

has 100 cookbooks and she likes watching Masterchef on telly. The

person who also wants the job is called Andrea Leadsom. She is also

working for the government but in less important jobs. She is married

and has three children, the youngest is 12. On a Sunday, she likes to go

to church. The Wales team have arrived back

in the UK to a hero's Fans gathered at the terminal

to congratulate the players on their achievements

and the players signed autographs And right now people are lining

the streets in Cardiff where the team are just arriving

for an open-bus tour of the city. Flags are flying high

for Chris Coleman and his team, who says it's been a magnificent

feeling to have achieved what they have at this

summer's tournament. You cannot believe what has happened

at home. The feeling, and the togetherness they are. They are all

screaming for us. That makes you feel really proud.

Staying with the footy, and France have beaten

in the semi-final of the European Championships.

Antoine Griezmann was the hero for France, converting a penalty

just before half time, before settling it for the French

France will now play Cristiano Ronaldo's Portugal

Tennis now and Roger Federer and Milos Raonic have

gone into the fifth set of their semi-final

Raonic came back strongly in the fourth to level

and the two men are now heading for the final

British number one Andy Murray will face Tomas Berdych straight

And while Murray and the best stars in tennis ace their serves, spare

a thought for the tennis balls they're smashing!

Almost 55,000 of them are made for the championships each summer

and this year is the thirtieth anniversary of the yellow balls

No, once upon a time they were, in fact, white.
