Hi, I'm Aysha live with all the news you need to know

:00:00.:00:08.

Big success for England's cricket team.

:00:09.:00:21.

Now I can get myself dressed without anybody helping me.

:00:22.:00:23.

And a boy with a life changing story.

:00:24.:00:35.

First up, if you've been missing the football over the summer,

:00:36.:00:37.

I've got some good news for you,

:00:38.:00:39.

as the Uefa Women's Euros are underway.

:00:40.:00:41.

This year, it's being held in the Netherlands and England

:00:42.:00:43.

play their first match tonight against Scotland.

:00:44.:00:45.

Both teams have been busy training for the match and BBC's Ben Mundy

:00:46.:00:48.

We are in Utrecht, which is one of seven cities where games

:00:49.:00:55.

The stadium where England meet Scotland later is about a ten-minute

:00:56.:01:01.

drive away and just over there is one of the official

:01:02.:01:03.

fanzones, that's where supporters from all the different countries

:01:04.:01:05.

can meet up and watch the games on big TV screens.

:01:06.:01:14.

Tonight's match is a big one because, when it comes to football,

:01:15.:01:17.

England and Scotland don't really get on.

:01:18.:01:19.

Two players to look out for, Scotland's Jane Ross,

:01:20.:01:22.

she's a very good attacking player and could cause

:01:23.:01:24.

For England, look out for defender and captain Steph Houghton.

:01:25.:01:28.

And don't forget, you can go online for loads more information

:01:29.:01:36.

A big clean-up is taking place today in Cornwall in the south-west

:01:37.:01:41.

of England after really heavy floods swept through the village

:01:42.:01:44.

People living there saw hailstones the size of 50 pence pieces,

:01:45.:01:50.

and some people even had to be lifted

:01:51.:01:52.

Although there is a lot of cleaning up to do,

:01:53.:01:57.

Now, it's safe to say that Johanna Konta was

:01:58.:02:06.

one of the stand-out British players at Wimbledon this year.

:02:07.:02:08.

The 23-year-old become the first British woman to reach

:02:09.:02:10.

the Wimbledon singles semi finals in almost 40 years.

:02:11.:02:13.

Ricky caught up with the history maker herself.

:02:14.:02:17.

Wimbledon is more special, because it's home, it's my home slam.

:02:18.:02:29.

Not many tennis players get to say they have a home slam,

:02:30.:02:32.

It's been 39 years since a British woman can say,

:02:33.:02:40.

I got to be a part of so many incredible matches, I got

:02:41.:02:50.

I got to play on Centre Court and Court one and to really

:02:51.:02:54.

play in front of a crowd that was so supportive

:02:55.:02:56.

After an hour and 50 minutes, somehow, Johanna Konta

:02:57.:03:03.

For me, it's always been the competition, always

:03:04.:03:10.

being in the competitive environment of matches, the emotions

:03:11.:03:13.

The triumphs, actually the losses as well.

:03:14.:03:21.

I think it is more those emotions and those experiences that I've

:03:22.:03:24.

It's a fun sport to be a part of at whatever level.

:03:25.:03:32.

It's also a really social sport and you can do it with your friends,

:03:33.:03:35.

you can play with your family, so I think it does have a place

:03:36.:03:39.

And to another sporting success story.

:03:40.:03:46.

Some good news for England's cricket team, they reached

:03:47.:03:48.

the Women's World Cup final after a very exciting

:03:49.:03:51.

two-wicket win over South Africa in Bristol yesterday.

:03:52.:03:54.

Two to win. And the first fall short.

:03:55.:04:07.

They'll now face Australia or India in Sunday's final.

:04:08.:04:09.

Zion is a ten-year-old boy from America who was born

:04:10.:04:16.

with two hands, but when he was aged just two, doctors had

:04:17.:04:20.

to amputate them because he had a really serious infection.

:04:21.:04:24.

But 18 months ago at the age of eight,

:04:25.:04:26.

Zion became the youngest person in the world to have

:04:27.:04:30.

a double hand transplant - giving him two new hands.

:04:31.:04:32.

Now I can get myself dressed without anybody helping me.

:04:33.:04:41.

Now I can get a snack out of the refrigerator

:04:42.:04:46.

I can heat up a sandwich and a piece of pizza all by myself.

:04:47.:04:58.

Newsround's back right here in about half an hour.
