0:00:04 > 0:00:06A very happy Wednesday day to you.
0:00:06 > 0:00:13I'm Ricky, this is Newsround and we're live with your top stories.
0:00:13 > 0:00:18Coming up: Ready...teddy...GO!
0:00:22 > 0:00:25And we investigate the hoverboard safety warnings.
0:00:31 > 0:00:33What's it like when your house is flooded
0:00:33 > 0:00:34by dirty, smelly water?
0:00:34 > 0:00:37It's happened to hundreds of children in Cumbria this week
0:00:37 > 0:00:42and one of them, Ben, has been showing Newsround reporter
0:00:42 > 0:00:45Naz around his home after he went back for the first time
0:00:45 > 0:00:47following the floods.
0:00:53 > 0:00:57What is it like, seeing all this here?
0:00:57 > 0:00:59It's not very nice.
0:00:59 > 0:01:01Your football boots there.
0:01:01 > 0:01:03Some are dry.
0:01:03 > 0:01:05These are not wet.
0:01:05 > 0:01:09It's not very nice.
0:01:09 > 0:01:13It was all in the cupboards and everything, and the floor,
0:01:13 > 0:01:16all over the floor.
0:01:16 > 0:01:19It is just like it is junk.
0:01:19 > 0:01:21It's a bit upsetting.
0:01:21 > 0:01:24I didn't think it was going to be this bad.
0:01:24 > 0:01:28We sit on the couches around here.
0:01:28 > 0:01:32That's to watch the TV, but it's ruined.
0:01:32 > 0:01:34Pretty wet, isn't it?
0:01:34 > 0:01:36It's not nice.
0:01:36 > 0:01:42Ben's family think it will be a least two months before they can
0:01:42 > 0:01:45go back home, but they have had plenty of offers of places
0:01:45 > 0:01:49to stay over Christmas.
0:01:49 > 0:01:52And if you've been affected by the floods, send us your comments
0:01:52 > 0:01:54on the Newsround website.
0:01:54 > 0:01:56Next, if you're hoping for a hoverboard for Christmas,
0:01:56 > 0:01:58then you won't want to miss this.
0:01:58 > 0:02:00Experts are warning that some of them aren't well made
0:02:00 > 0:02:01and can be dangerous.
0:02:01 > 0:02:03So, how can you be sure yours is OK?
0:02:03 > 0:02:05Ayshah's been to investigate.
0:02:05 > 0:02:07Hoverboards, segways, self-balancing scooters,
0:02:07 > 0:02:10whatever you want to call them, they are one of the most popular
0:02:10 > 0:02:11gifts being asked for this Christmas.
0:02:11 > 0:02:16I want a hoverboard so I can reach my destination quickly.
0:02:16 > 0:02:20I am getting a hoverboard for Christmas, because a lot
0:02:20 > 0:02:27of famous people have it, such as Tiger and Justin Bieber.
0:02:27 > 0:02:29You can show your own style to people.
0:02:29 > 0:02:32But Trading Standards, an organisation that makes sure that
0:02:32 > 0:02:35products are safe for people to use, have taken away more than 15,000
0:02:35 > 0:02:39hoverboards in the UK because they're unsafe.
0:02:39 > 0:02:42Many had faulty plugs and were at risk of overheating
0:02:42 > 0:02:46and even causing a fire.
0:02:46 > 0:02:48Hi, guys, I work for Trading Standards and I've come
0:02:48 > 0:02:51to talk to you about hoverboards.
0:02:51 > 0:02:55How do you know if a hoverboard is faulty?
0:02:55 > 0:02:58It would be difficult to find out because a lot of the problems
0:02:58 > 0:03:02are inside the mechanism, but if you bought one and you got
0:03:02 > 0:03:07the plug out of it and you could see it looks like a normal plug,
0:03:07 > 0:03:11that is an indication it might be a problem with the whole thing.
0:03:11 > 0:03:13What should we do to take care of a hoverboard?
0:03:13 > 0:03:17If you're going to charge it up, do it during the day to make sure
0:03:17 > 0:03:19someone is around to see if there is a problem.
0:03:19 > 0:03:22Is there a safe or reliable place to buy a hoverboard from?
0:03:22 > 0:03:26We are finding problems in lots of places, online,
0:03:26 > 0:03:28and even some of the big chain stores have had
0:03:28 > 0:03:31to recall their products.
0:03:31 > 0:03:34At the moment it is quite difficult to find a place where you can
0:03:34 > 0:03:36guarantee you will get a safe one.
0:03:36 > 0:03:40How are the faulty hoverboards getting to the UK?
0:03:40 > 0:03:43All of the ones we have found so far are imported from China.
0:03:43 > 0:03:46They are put on the plane, come over here and Customs check
0:03:46 > 0:03:50a lot of the products, but so many coming through
0:03:50 > 0:03:53the airport that they cannot check everyone, so sometimes that's how
0:03:53 > 0:03:55they got in the shops.
0:03:55 > 0:03:56Do you guys still want a hoverboard?
0:03:56 > 0:03:58Yes.
0:03:58 > 0:03:59Maybe, I don't know.
0:03:59 > 0:04:01I'm in the middle.
0:04:01 > 0:04:05If you could check it is safe, it would be a cool ride.
0:04:09 > 0:04:11Sport now: And Manchester United are out of the Champions League
0:04:11 > 0:04:13after losing 3-2 to VFL Wolfsburg.
0:04:13 > 0:04:15United took the lead near the start, but Wolfsburg scored twice
0:04:15 > 0:04:16to lead at half-time.
0:04:16 > 0:04:19In the second half, United thought they were through to the next
0:04:19 > 0:04:21round after Wolfsburg scored an own goal, but another goal
0:04:21 > 0:04:23from them put them back in front.
0:04:23 > 0:04:29United finished third in their group and now drop to the Europa League.
0:04:29 > 0:04:31Meanwhile, Manchester City, who'd already qualified
0:04:31 > 0:04:34for the knock-out stages, beat Borussia Monchengladbach 4-2
0:04:34 > 0:04:36to go top of their group.
0:04:36 > 0:04:39Raheem Sterling marked his 21st birthday by scoring two goals before
0:04:39 > 0:04:48Wifried Bony wrapped up the match and victory for City.
0:04:49 > 0:04:52I am very happy that we won the group, but for me,
0:04:52 > 0:04:56the most thing is that we return to be the team that I normally
0:04:56 > 0:05:00want to see playing that way.
0:05:00 > 0:05:06It's 9th December, so let's find out what cracking joke is behind Day 9
0:05:06 > 0:05:08of our advent calendar.
0:05:08 > 0:05:14What do you call a tin can of beans wearing a Christmas hat?
0:05:14 > 0:05:18A-merry-can.
0:05:18 > 0:05:23Get it?

0:05:32 > 0:05:34in one of the weirdest sporting traditions.
0:05:34 > 0:05:37After the first goal of a game, fans are asked to throw stuffed
0:05:37 > 0:05:38animals onto the ice rink.
0:05:38 > 0:05:42Almost 30,000 teddies were thrown.
0:05:42 > 0:05:46The annual Teddy Bear Toss has got bigger each year.
0:05:46 > 0:05:53After the game, all the toys get donated to charity.
