Hi, I'm Naz with Wednesday Newsround coming up.

:00:00.:00:09.

Sunshine and showers - how the weather went wild yesterday.

:00:10.:00:12.

And find out why cats are taking over the underground.

:00:13.:00:27.

But first, big news for Bake Off fans as Mel and Sue say

:00:28.:00:30.

It follows the announcement that the programme will be moving

:00:31.:00:35.

from the BBC to Channel 4 after this series.

:00:36.:00:40.

It's still not been confirmed whether judges Mary Berry

:00:41.:00:42.

and Paul Hollywood will remain, and there's still no news

:00:43.:00:44.

And we want to know if you think Bake Off will be the same

:00:45.:00:54.

Paralympics GB won six gold medals on day six of the games in Rio.

:00:55.:01:01.

It means they've equalled the number of golds they won at London 2012.

:01:02.:01:04.

Libby Clegg made it a sprint double in Rio as she added the T11 200

:01:05.:01:13.

metres title to the 100 metres crown she won in Saturday.

:01:14.:01:18.

Great Britain's success in the pool continued with two more golds.

:01:19.:01:23.

Stephanie Millward, who had already won two bronzes in Rio,

:01:24.:01:31.

set a new Paralympic record to win gold in the S8

:01:32.:01:33.

One of ParalympicGB's young stars, Matt Wylie, claimed gold

:01:34.:01:36.

Earlier in the day, runner Georgie Hermitage stormed

:01:37.:01:48.

to her second gold and a second world record at these

:01:49.:01:50.

The 27-year-old dominated her 400 metres T37 final, and left everyone

:01:51.:01:55.

COMMENTATOR: It's going to be so close to the world record.

:01:56.:01:59.

Sticking with the athletics, Hollie Arnold won F46 javelin gold

:02:00.:02:08.

She's competing in her third Paralympics at the age of just 22.

:02:09.:02:16.

And the day's other gold medal came in the table tennis.

:02:17.:02:20.

Rob Davies won the final to become the Paralympic champion

:02:21.:02:31.

All of this helped to push Britain's gold medal tally to 34.

:02:32.:02:38.

From the heat in Rio to a hot day here.

:02:39.:02:45.

We are expecting another scorcher of a day for most of the UK today.

:02:46.:02:48.

Yesterday temperatures reached a whopping 34

:02:49.:02:50.

That's the hottest it's been in 100 years.

:02:51.:02:53.

But last night lots of places in the North of England got

:02:54.:02:56.

some freaky weather - rain, thunder and lighting.

:02:57.:02:58.

And Manchester City's match against Borussia Monchengladbach

:02:59.:03:00.

Well, today some places could reach 28 degrees.

:03:01.:03:09.

Head online to let us know how you're keeping your cool.

:03:10.:03:20.

Next, scientists are drilling out samples of ice in places where it's

:03:21.:03:23.

melting and storing it in Antarctica to make sure it doesn't

:03:24.:03:26.

This team of scientists is living and working on a big piece

:03:27.:03:33.

of ice called a glacier in the Alps in France.

:03:34.:03:36.

But because of the rising temperature of the

:03:37.:03:37.

The team are taking samples of the glacier to study before it

:03:38.:03:42.

They want to rescue the information locked deep inside the ice.

:03:43.:03:46.

The glacier was formed by snow falling over many years

:03:47.:03:48.

The snowfall is made of water from the earth's atmosphere,

:03:49.:03:54.

so by studying the glacier, scientists can see what was in our

:03:55.:03:57.

Snowfall will collect all the impurities in the atmosphere,

:03:58.:04:03.

and these will be duplicated in the glacier.

:04:04.:04:05.

So layers after layers, and all this information is stored

:04:06.:04:07.

The BBC's science reporter Victoria Gill went to France

:04:08.:04:14.

to see how the team take the samples of ice.

:04:15.:04:20.

That's an ice core now coming up from about 30 metres depth.

:04:21.:04:23.

The team will cut it and they'll move it into this tent, then they'll

:04:24.:04:26.

store it in their ice cave, which is their mountain freezer.

:04:27.:04:29.

This is the beginning of a very long journey for these ice samples.

:04:30.:04:35.

They'll be stored in France for two years but then they will be

:04:36.:04:38.

taken to Antarctica, the world's biggest freezer,

:04:39.:04:39.

to be studied by scientists for many years to come.

:04:40.:04:46.

Lots of glaciers all over the world are changing and melting,

:04:47.:04:48.

but this new project means that scientists will be able

:04:49.:04:51.

to study their secrets long after they've disappeared.

:04:52.:04:57.

Sorry if you couldn't hear me before, I think we have got it all

:04:58.:05:00.

sorted now. Next one in ten types of animal,

:05:01.:05:06.

birds, insects and plant life are in danger of extinction

:05:07.:05:09.

in the UK. That's according to a new report put

:05:10.:05:11.

together by scientists and experts. They say that over half of farmland

:05:12.:05:14.

birds including the turtle dove The report says this is mainly due

:05:15.:05:16.

to how farmers work now. But farmers say the report doesn't

:05:17.:05:21.

take into account the work they have Giant cat posters have taken over

:05:22.:05:24.

a Tube station in London. They've been put up

:05:25.:05:33.

by an organisation called CATS - Citizens Advertising

:05:34.:05:36.

Takeover Service. They've put up more than 60 posters

:05:37.:05:37.

around Clapham Common Tube station. They say they've done it

:05:38.:05:40.

to provide a peaceful space That's all from me, Newsround's back

:05:41.:05:42.

here this afternoon with Ricky.
