Good morning, Ayshah here live this Wednesday morning.

0:00:030:00:05

Keep watching for all of this.

0:00:050:00:08

Spotting butterflies with a very famous face and...

0:00:090:00:13

Big success for England's cricket team.

0:00:130:00:17

Now I can get myself dressed without anybody helping me.

0:00:170:00:23

And a boy with a life changing story.

0:00:230:00:27

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

0:00:350:00:38

I've got some good news for you,

0:00:380:00:40

as the Uefa Women's Euros are underway.

0:00:400:00:43

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

0:00:430:00:46

play their first match tonight against Scotland.

0:00:460:00:49

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

0:00:490:00:53

is there and sent us this.

0:00:530:00:55

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

0:00:550:00:58

at Euro 2017 are being played.

0:00:580:01:01

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

0:01:010:01:04

drive away and just over there is one of the official

0:01:040:01:07

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

0:01:070:01:11

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

0:01:110:01:15

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

0:01:150:01:18

England and Scotland don't really get on.

0:01:180:01:19

There's a real big rivalry.

0:01:190:01:23

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

0:01:230:01:25

she's a very good attacking player and could cause

0:01:250:01:27

England some problems.

0:01:270:01:28

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

0:01:280:01:31

She takes a brilliant free kick.

0:01:310:01:33

The game kicks off at 7:45pm.

0:01:330:01:38

And you can go online for loads more information.

0:01:380:01:42

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

0:01:420:01:45

of England after really heavy floods swept through the village

0:01:450:01:48

of Coverack.

0:01:480:01:50

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

0:01:500:01:53

and some people even had to be lifted

0:01:530:01:56

from their houses by helicopter.

0:01:560:01:58

Although there is a lot of cleaning up to do,

0:01:580:02:00

luckily no-one has been hurt.

0:02:000:02:03

When was the last time you spotted a butterfly in your garden?

0:02:030:02:06

Well, one pretty famous man is on a mission to make sure

0:02:060:02:09

there are more around, and he needs your help.

0:02:090:02:13

Peacock, Red Admiral, Tortoise Shell.

0:02:130:02:17

Just some of the UK's most common types of butterfly.

0:02:170:02:20

Scientists say there are fewer and fewer around now.

0:02:200:02:24

Step in Sir Attenborough.

0:02:240:02:26

He is president of a butterfly conservation charity and they just

0:02:260:02:29

launched a big butterfly count.

0:02:290:02:33

Last year was the fourth-worst year on record in terms of butterflies.

0:02:330:02:37

But what people can do is to go into the garden or an open place,

0:02:370:02:42

some sunny place, and start looking around for 15 minutes and tell us

0:02:420:02:47

how many butterflies they saw and what type they were.

0:02:470:02:51

Even if they don't see any at all, that's an important

0:02:510:02:56

piece of information.

0:02:560:02:58

And that will give us a lot of very valuable statistics

0:02:580:03:01

to know what's happening.

0:03:010:03:04

It is hoped that this year's warm weather could help

0:03:040:03:08

the butterfly population bounce back.

0:03:080:03:11

Have I seen any?

0:03:110:03:12

No, it's a bit early, it's not warm enough.

0:03:120:03:14

Butterflies like the warm weather.

0:03:140:03:15

And when they come up, of course, they are very important

0:03:150:03:18

because they actually fertilise plants, pollinate them.

0:03:180:03:22

So hopefully you and Sir David will see more of these guys

0:03:220:03:25

in the future.

0:03:250:03:27

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

0:03:280:03:31

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

0:03:310:03:34

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

0:03:340:03:37

the Wimbledon singles semi finals in almost 40 years.

0:03:370:03:41

Ricky caught up with the history maker herself.

0:03:410:03:44

CHEERING

0:03:480:03:49

It's over.

0:03:490:03:52

British tennis history is made.

0:03:520:03:54

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

0:03:540:03:57

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

0:03:570:04:00

so I feel very fortunate with that.

0:04:000:04:03

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

0:04:030:04:08

"I'm a Wimbledon semifinalist."

0:04:080:04:11

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

0:04:110:04:14

to have some epic battles.

0:04:140:04:15

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

0:04:150:04:20

play in front of a crowd that was so supportive

0:04:200:04:23

and so excited for me.

0:04:230:04:26

After an hour and 50 minutes, somehow, Johanna Konta

0:04:280:04:31

has forced a final set.

0:04:310:04:38

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

0:04:380:04:41

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

0:04:410:04:44

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

0:04:440:04:47

in a lot of people's homes.

0:04:470:04:49

And to another sporting success story.

0:04:490:04:52

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

0:04:520:04:54

the Women's World Cup final after a very exciting

0:04:540:04:56

two-wicket win over South Africa in Bristol yesterday.

0:04:560:04:58

Let's see the moment they won.

0:04:580:05:00

Two to win.

0:05:020:05:06

And the first ball short.

0:05:060:05:07

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

0:05:070:05:12

Now to an amazing story.

0:05:120:05:13

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

0:05:130:05:15

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

0:05:150:05:20

to amputate them because he had a really serious infection.

0:05:200:05:25

But 18 months ago, at the age of eight,

0:05:250:05:27

Zion became the youngest person in the world to have

0:05:270:05:30

a double hand transplant - giving him two new hands.

0:05:300:05:33

He is making brilliant progress.

0:05:330:05:36

Now I can get myself dressed without anybody helping me.

0:05:360:05:42

Now I can get a snack out of the refrigerator

0:05:420:05:47

without anybody helping me.

0:05:470:05:50

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

0:05:500:05:58

That's it from the morning team, we're back at 4:20pm.

0:05:580:06:01

Hello, and... It's me, Hacker, the dog from the telly!

0:06:080:06:12

Yes, they know who I am.

0:06:120:06:13

I was speaking.

0:06:130:06:15
