:00:00. > :00:07.Hi, now your Newsround update. Coming up, celebrations as the

:00:08. > :00:15.Gunners claim their first trophy in nine years.

:00:16. > :00:22.And he ghostly cyclists lighting up the streets in Leeds.

:00:23. > :00:28.But first to the Balkans, in eastern Europe, where they're facing the

:00:29. > :00:33.worst flooding for decades. At least 20 people have died after a month's

:00:34. > :00:37.rain fell in just three days. With more rain expected today, I've been

:00:38. > :00:45.finding out how people there are coping.

:00:46. > :00:52.A neighbourhood in Serbia underwater. Normally at this time of

:00:53. > :00:58.the year the people here enjoy warm, sunny days. But three days

:00:59. > :01:04.ago, the rains came. Today, like tens of thousands in

:01:05. > :01:10.Bosnia-Herzegovina and Croatia, people are expressing their worst

:01:11. > :01:16.floods for years. Residents and council workers work against time.

:01:17. > :01:21.But for many, with no electricity and no drinking water, their only

:01:22. > :01:28.option is to leave. Boats and helicopters carry tens of thousands

:01:29. > :01:31.of people to safety and shelter. The country's Prime Minister has warned

:01:32. > :01:38.of more rain to, and told people to brace themselves.

:01:39. > :01:44.TRANSLATION: We can only hope we have done everything we could. Now

:01:45. > :01:48.we can only pray to God. The river has already burst its

:01:49. > :01:56.banks. Its waters pouring into nearby homes. And now the floods. In

:01:57. > :02:01.neighbouring Bosnia, a similar story. Thousands leave their homes

:02:02. > :02:07.as water levels rise. Hundreds are evacuated in Croatia. More rain is

:02:08. > :02:11.forecast, with water levels expected to reach their highest levels today.

:02:12. > :02:14.The Serbian government have called for international help and for the

:02:15. > :02:17.people of the Balkans that cannot come quickly enough.

:02:18. > :02:20.Football now, and as we speak, thousands of happy Arsenal fans are

:02:21. > :02:23.lining the streets of North London to be part of their team's FA Cup

:02:24. > :02:28.victory parade. Yesterday, Arsenal won the FA Cup for the first time in

:02:29. > :02:38.nine years. So, just how much does this mean to the supporters?

:02:39. > :02:43.I was at Chelsea when we lost 6-0 and we kept fighting. We did in the

:02:44. > :02:51.end of anger. I am so ecstatic for Arsenal. It has taken a few years

:02:52. > :02:54.but we got there in the end. New York City. All the way for the

:02:55. > :03:02.match. Sporting moment of a lifetime. Is only five so it is is

:03:03. > :03:05.first one. Next, GB's junior gymnastics team

:03:06. > :03:08.have won a record-breaking six medals at the European Championships

:03:09. > :03:11.in Sofia. 15-year-old Ellie Downie and 13-year-old Catherine Lyons won

:03:12. > :03:18.European junior gold medals on the final day. Downie, who took bronze

:03:19. > :03:27.on Friday, claimed victory on the vault, whilst Lyons took gold on the

:03:28. > :03:33.floor. Absolutely amazing. I knew if I did

:03:34. > :03:39.the best I could I would win. I have really enjoyed this week. Fires that

:03:40. > :03:40.have been burning for five days in America are slowly being brought

:03:41. > :03:44.under control. More than 120,000 people were forced

:03:45. > :03:47.to leave their homes last week, as the wildfires spread across parts of

:03:48. > :03:51.California. People are starting to return their homes after evacuation

:03:52. > :03:56.orders were lifted. But many are returning to houses destroyed by the

:03:57. > :03:59.flames. Houses reduced to ashes, the result

:04:00. > :04:06.of wildfires that destroyed thousands of acres of land in

:04:07. > :04:10.south-west California this week. People are slowly returning as the

:04:11. > :04:18.fires are brought under control. For those coming back to their homes,

:04:19. > :04:22.it's an emotional time. It is a blessing to be back here at

:04:23. > :04:29.home. Almost teary eyed. It is wonderful. My heart really goes out

:04:30. > :04:33.to people who have lost their homes. We hope we come together as a

:04:34. > :04:37.community and help these people. This area is known for wildfires,

:04:38. > :04:40.but it is not usually so hot this early in the year. Strong winds and

:04:41. > :04:44.unusually high temperatures have been blamed for the fires, but some

:04:45. > :04:47.may have been started on purpose. Two teenagers were arrested on

:04:48. > :04:49.suspicion of setting one of the fires, and a 57-year-old has been

:04:50. > :04:53.charged with arson. A drop in the wind means the fires

:04:54. > :04:56.are finally mostly under control, but firefighters say this is just

:04:57. > :05:02.the beginning of a long hot dry wildfire season.

:05:03. > :05:05.Uri Geller is one of the world's most celebrated illusionists, who is

:05:06. > :05:09.probably best known for his ability to bend spoons with his mind. Now

:05:10. > :05:13.he's used his favourite piece of cutlery for another reason - let's

:05:14. > :05:21.take a look. This is known as the Spoon Gorilla, and it's been made up

:05:22. > :05:23.of 40,000 individual spoons. It was commissioned by Uri Geller to

:05:24. > :05:28.inspire disadvantaged and disabled children.

:05:29. > :05:32.Now, take a look at this - it's cycling but with a big difference.

:05:33. > :05:37.The riders attached lights to their bikes for the event in Leeds last

:05:38. > :05:40.night. It's called the Ghost Peloton. Dozens of volunteers took

:05:41. > :05:44.part in the display to mark the 50-day countdown to the start of the

:05:45. > :05:50.Tour de France cycle race in Yorkshire.

:05:51. > :05:53.The richest people in Britain have more money than ever before,

:05:54. > :06:02.according to the annual Sunday Times Rich List.

:06:03. > :06:12...and lows of Dragons - Riders Of Berk.

:06:13. > :06:14.The Slammer is back with tons of glittering acts.

:06:15. > :06:19.New thrills and spills with The Slammer Returns.
