Stay tuned for all of Thursday's top stories.

:00:00.:00:09.

We meet the sisters who're taking Gymnastics by storm, and...

:00:10.:00:13.

Check out our ones to watch for Euro 2016.

:00:14.:00:28.

First, to the US, where Hillary Clinton has been named

:00:29.:00:31.

as an official candidate for the presidential election.

:00:32.:00:33.

She's the first-ever woman to have a real chance of becoming

:00:34.:00:35.

president of one of the biggest and most powerful countries

:00:36.:00:38.

in the world, so we've been finding out more about her.

:00:39.:00:40.

She is a lawyer-turned-politician and she is the first woman to ever

:00:41.:00:45.

have a serious chance of becoming the president of the United States.

:00:46.:00:54.

She first became famous when her husband, Bill Clinton,

:00:55.:00:56.

During her eight years as the first lady of the United States,

:00:57.:01:01.

she campaigned for women's rights and health care and became

:01:02.:01:03.

a well-known political figure around the world.

:01:04.:01:08.

As her husband's leadership came to a close, she decided

:01:09.:01:10.

She wanted to run for president in 2008 but supporters

:01:11.:01:19.

of her political party, the Democrats, chose

:01:20.:01:20.

When he won the US election, he appointed Clinton

:01:21.:01:25.

She spent four years in this important position, where she looked

:01:26.:01:29.

after America's relationships with other countries.

:01:30.:01:32.

Now she has a serious chance of becoming the next president.

:01:33.:01:35.

The battle for the position is attracting huge attention

:01:36.:01:37.

because both Clinton and her Republican Party opponent,

:01:38.:01:39.

Donald Trump, are so well-known around the world.

:01:40.:01:43.

Clinton's priorities are employment, equality and health care,

:01:44.:01:53.

but many of her opponents think that she is an untrustworthy politician.

:01:54.:01:55.

Those who support her think that this is sexist and that people

:01:56.:01:58.

don't approve of her just because she is a woman.

:01:59.:02:01.

If successful, she would be the first female president

:02:02.:02:03.

The election campaign is already dividing the USA.

:02:04.:02:06.

The battle for one of the most influential jobs in the world

:02:07.:02:09.

is only going to get hotter as the election draws nearer.

:02:10.:02:16.

Next, gymnast sisters Becky and Ellie Downie

:02:17.:02:18.

had a brilliant weekend at the European Championships in

:02:19.:02:20.

Big sis Becky was crowned the bars champion and younger sister Ellie

:02:21.:02:25.

grabbed silver medals on both the vault and floor.

:02:26.:02:31.

They also won the team silver medal with their GB

:02:32.:02:35.

And they're joining me now on the sofa.

:02:36.:02:38.

What was it like for you both on the final day of the Europeans

:02:39.:02:46.

Incredible. For us both to come out on top on the same day is so

:02:47.:02:52.

special. The fact we did it together. Your sisters, and I

:02:53.:02:56.

remember growing up and being mega competitive with my younger brother.

:02:57.:03:00.

Even breakfast was a competition. What is it like you both, doing the

:03:01.:03:08.

same sport? It can be competitive. But we have different specialities.

:03:09.:03:15.

We are competitive but fighting in our different competitions. We have

:03:16.:03:18.

to talk about his medals. Your house must be jam-packed with medals.

:03:19.:03:25.

Whether you keep them? Mainly in our bedroom. Some are scuttled around

:03:26.:03:28.

but it is nice to get the recognition. Livestock about the big

:03:29.:03:34.

one coming up in the summer. The Olympics. Do you have any idea when

:03:35.:03:44.

you will be picked? We hope that when the day comes, it will be a

:03:45.:03:47.

good day for both of us, to see if we get picked.

:03:48.:03:50.

Finally, there's just one day to go till Euro 2016 kicks off in France.

:03:51.:03:53.

24 countries will be competing to win the championships and here's

:03:54.:03:56.

some of the key players to look out for who will be hoping

:03:57.:03:59.

Ibrahimovic. Returned to him by Larsson...

:04:00.:04:12.

No goalkeeper in the world was going to keep that out.

:04:13.:04:25.

And the star striker has got the goal.

:04:26.:04:37.

Back it comes, straight in. Thomas Mueller with a beauty!

:04:38.:04:46.

De Bruyne in the middle, Romelu Lukaku...

:04:47.:04:49.

He's round the outside of Chiellini, who tried to hold him off.

:04:50.:05:02.

David Silva has struck gold for Spain.

:05:03.:05:13.

It's summertime and a lot of us will be spending

:05:14.:05:29.

us to keep an eye out for hummingbird hawk-moths.

:05:30.:05:34.

Experts want to know if the insect has started to breed in Britain.

:05:35.:05:37.

It's usually found in other parts of Europe and beats its wings

:05:38.:05:40.

80 times per second, allowing it to hover over flowers.

:05:41.:05:42.
