I'm Jenny, live with your last Newsround update this Sunday.

:00:00.:00:10.

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

:00:11.:00:13.

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

:00:14.:00:22.

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

:00:23.:00:25.

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

:00:26.:00:28.

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

:00:29.:00:34.

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

:00:35.:00:38.

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

:00:39.:00:43.

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

:00:44.:00:50.

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

:00:51.:00:53.

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

:00:54.:00:57.

However, the wind will be pretty heavy at

:00:58.:00:59.

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

:01:00.:01:03.

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

:01:04.:01:06.

Overnight tonight, the strongest winds will move to

:01:07.:01:10.

the south coast of England to northern England and eventually

:01:11.:01:12.

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

:01:13.:01:15.

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

:01:16.:01:18.

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

:01:19.:01:21.

so the remnants of Hurricane Bertha are affecting our weather today

:01:22.:01:25.

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

:01:26.:01:28.

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

:01:29.:01:33.

And you've being letting us know what's happening, weather wise,

:01:34.:01:37.

where you are: Keiti in Kent said: My gutters and back porch are

:01:38.:01:40.

leaking. The rain and thunder is really loud, and my dog is very wet.

:01:41.:01:45.

Poppy in York was at a sleepover when the rain hit. She said - It was

:01:46.:01:49.

coming so fast and hitting the ground really hard. The house nearly

:01:50.:01:53.

flooded. Billy, who's on holiday in Skegness said- We weren't expecting

:01:54.:01:56.

the rain and wind on our holiday, I can't wait for the sun to come out.

:01:57.:02:02.

To Sport now - you'll have heard of the

:02:03.:02:05.

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

:02:06.:02:07.

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

:02:08.:02:11.

on to become a hugely inspirational and life saving event.

:02:12.:02:14.

I went along to the opening day to find out

:02:15.:02:25.

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

:02:26.:02:30.

Bolton for the British Transplant Games.

:02:31.:02:34.

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

:02:35.:02:37.

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

:02:38.:02:46.

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

:02:47.:02:50.

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

:02:51.:03:00.

And today she is competing in the games, hoping to inspire more

:03:01.:03:05.

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

:03:06.:03:12.

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

:03:13.:03:18.

because more people find out more about organ transplant.

:03:19.:03:22.

This is the third time I have come to the

:03:23.:03:25.

Transplant Games and competed in the obstacle race, and it was so great.

:03:26.:03:31.

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

:03:32.:03:35.

only inspirational, but lots of fun as well.

:03:36.:03:38.

It is very much like a mini Olympics.

:03:39.:03:48.

Nearly 8,000 people on the waiting list,

:03:49.:03:50.

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

:03:51.:03:53.

raise awareness to the public that transplants are

:03:54.:03:56.

The kids here have had a brilliant day, taken part

:03:57.:04:02.

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

:04:03.:04:17.

Last night saw the start of BBC1's brand new gymnastics TV show,

:04:18.:04:20.

Tumble. In front of judges like Olympic medallist, Louis Smith, ten

:04:21.:04:24.

celebrities and their professional partners took to the hoops and floor

:04:25.:04:27.

to perform routines. Stars included Sarah from Girls Aloud, boxer Carl

:04:28.:04:29.

Frock, and CBBC Woolfblood's Bobby Lockwood.

:04:30.:04:49.

I felt quite emotional here. It was a beautiful routine.

:04:50.:04:57.

Venice is famous for being built on water, but from next year, large

:04:58.:05:00.

cruise liners will be banned from the centre of the Italian city.

:05:01.:05:03.

Right now, huge ships can sail just hundreds of metres from the historic

:05:04.:05:06.

area of St Mark's Square, but the ban is being enforced to protect the

:05:07.:05:09.

buildings' foundations from pollution and vibrations from the

:05:10.:05:11.

ships. From next year, only small ships will be allowed to sail there.

:05:12.:05:17.

Now, the football season has only just begun, but there's already a

:05:18.:05:20.

trophy up for grabs later today. The community shield takes place at

:05:21.:05:24.

Wembley later this afternoon, with FA Cup champions Arsenal taking on

:05:25.:05:28.

Premier League winners Manchester City.

:05:29.:05:35.

It is not a friendly match, it is an important game against an important

:05:36.:05:44.

team of Arsenal. The proteins it is a cheque of how good they are, how

:05:45.:05:50.

physically strong they are unprepared they are.

:05:51.:05:53.

That's all from us, but head to the Newsround website to find out all

:05:54.:05:56.

about the supermoon appearing in the skies tonight. I'm back bright and

:05:57.:06:00.
