Hi guys, I'm Jenny, live with all the news you need to

know this Sunday.

Coming up.

The cruise ship ban in Venice.

We find out more about the sporting extravaganza that

is the British Transplant Games.

First, high winds and flash floods are expected today as the remains

of Hurricane Bertha hit Britain.

These pictures show the chaos she caused in the Caribbean last week.

Bertha has weakened since then, but volunteers from The Red Cross

are on standby here in the UK, in case homes need to be evacuated.

BBC Weather's Chris Fawkes has more.

Hi, newsround.

Last week, over 4000 miles away across the other side of the

Atlantic Ocean, Hurricane Bertha formed just to the east of Florida,

the United States of America.

Since then, it has been moving quickly across the Atlantic but

you don't need to worry too much.

It is not a hurricane any more.

The area of moisture that has been left over from what was left

of Bertha is pouring in an area of low pressure that will bring us

a wet and windy day.

For most of us it won't be too problematic.

However, the wind will be pretty heavy at

times and that could lead to puddles out on the roads and we could have

a little bit of surface water flooding, but other areas will just

see not so much in the way of rain.

Overnight tonight, the strongest winds will move to

the south coast of England to northern England and eventually

reaching the eastern areas of Scotland, so it'll be a windy start

to the day across parts of the north-east as we head into Monday.

Elsewhere, further south, a day of sunshine and showers,

so the remnants of Hurricane Bertha are affecting our weather today

but for most of us we don't need to be too concerned.

There will just be some big puddles and some windy weather as well.

And you've been in touch to tell us what's happening

weather wise where you are:

Rebecca in Paisley says she's had a lot of rain

and her nanna's garden is flooding.

And we want to know if Bertha has been having an effect where you are.

Are you being blasted by wind and rain?

Head to the newsround website and let us know.

Next, to northern Iraq where earlier today British military planes

dropped aid supplies of tents, water filters and lights to people

stranded on a mountain there.

Thousands of non muslims in the north of the country have fled

to the mountains there where they are stranded because of threats from

the group previously known as ISIS.

IS threatened to harm non-muslims in Iraq unless they convert to Islam.

It's the first airdrop from Britain to reach people stuck there.

UK officials estimate that between 50,000 and 150,000

people could be trapped.

To Sport now - you'll have heard of the

Olympic Games, and the Commonwealth Games, but have you ever heard

of the British Transplant Games?

They first took place over 30 years ago and have since gone

on to become a hugely inspirational and life saving event.

I went along to the opening day to find out

why the games are so important.

This weekend more than 2500 people and 750 athletes have come here to

Bolton for the British Transplant Games.

The event takes place every year and the aim is to encourage people

who have had life-saving transplants to help get their fitness back

by playing a variety of sports.

Meet 11-year-old Charlie. She was born with an illness which

affects the bladder and kidney.

And two years ago she had to have a kidney transplant, donated from her

grandfather which saved her life.

And today she is competing

people to donate organs.

Why do you think it is so important that 750 people come

here to the games?

It is really important that kids like me come to the games,

because more people find out more about organ transplant.

This is the third time I have come to the

Speaking to Charlie, you can tell the games have been not

only inspirational, but lots of fun as well.

It is very much like a mini Olympics.

Nearly a thousand people on the waiting list,

waiting for transplants.

Transplant Games is among one of the events which is fantastic to

raise awareness to the public that transplants are

The kids here have had a brilliant day, taken part

in races, making new friends and hopefully even saving some lives.

It's the Italian city built on water, but from next year,

large cruise ships will be banned from the centre of Venice.

At the moment, huge cruise ships can sail just

hundreds of metres from the historic area of St Mark's Square, but many

people called for a ban because of worries about pollution, and

vibrations from the ships affecting the buildings' foundations.

From next year, only smaller ships will be able to sail there.

To cricket and amazing test match win for England against India,

at Old Trafford this weekend.The

win came just three days in to the available five.

England bowled India out twice in as many days and scored more runs

in their one day of batting than India managed in two days.

It's been a real turnaround for the team who came into some

criticism earlier in the year.

That's all from me, Newsround's back at 1.55.
