I'm Leah with today's big stories, including some of this: | :00:08. | :00:11. | |
The loo lady who gives tours of London's toilets. | :00:12. | :00:15. | |
Becky and Ellie Downie coming up on Newsround. | :00:16. | :00:27. | |
First to Bosnia, Serbia and Croatia - countries in south-east Europe | :00:28. | :00:30. | |
that have been devastated by their worst floods in more than 100 years. | :00:31. | :00:33. | |
There's a massive relief operation going on to help people whose homes | :00:34. | :00:36. | |
The three countries used to be at war - but because of the floods | :00:37. | :00:42. | |
it appears some people living there are beginning to work together. | :00:43. | :00:45. | |
Rain that is usually expected in three months has fallen in just a | :00:46. | :00:57. | |
few days. Thousands of volunteers are working together to rescue | :00:58. | :01:01. | |
people whose homes have been flooded. They're building barriers | :01:02. | :01:05. | |
to keep the water away and trying to get food supplies to those stranded. | :01:06. | :01:11. | |
The authorities and volunteers are helping get aid to where it's needed | :01:12. | :01:17. | |
in all three countries. This sort of cooperation would have been | :01:18. | :01:20. | |
unthinkable 20 years ago, when the same countries were at war. In the | :01:21. | :01:26. | |
1990s, these were the scenes in the region as war broke out in countries | :01:27. | :01:29. | |
including Serbia, Croatia and Bosnia. They had all been part of | :01:30. | :01:36. | |
the same country, Yugoslavia. Fighting eventually led to the | :01:37. | :01:39. | |
region being split into several smaller countries. Since then, | :01:40. | :01:44. | |
relations between these countries have been difficult but the flooding | :01:45. | :01:47. | |
has meant some people have put aside their differences to help each | :01:48. | :01:53. | |
other. The BBCpos-macro guide is out there. What we're seeing is part of | :01:54. | :01:57. | |
the former Yugoslavia, some of which were at war with each other in the | :01:58. | :02:00. | |
1990s, coming were at war with each other in the | :02:01. | :02:05. | |
together and rescuing people in terrible situations. Just here in | :02:06. | :02:09. | |
Serbia, there are people from Slovenia, Croatia, Montenegro, | :02:10. | :02:14. | |
Macedonia, all different parts of what differences there may have had | :02:15. | :02:18. | |
and making sure people get to safety. | :02:19. | :02:24. | |
Earlier in the week, we told you about Team GB's success at the | :02:25. | :02:28. | |
For the senior team, Becky Downie stole the show by winning gold | :02:29. | :02:32. | |
Her 14-year-old sister Ellie also brought back a bronze, silver | :02:33. | :02:36. | |
It still doesn't feel real. I'm earlier to catch up with Ricky. | :02:37. | :02:52. | |
It still doesn't feel real. I'm really happy to be able to say that | :02:53. | :02:56. | |
all my hard work has paid off. I've been working so hard in the gym. We | :02:57. | :03:00. | |
can't really believe that we've managed to come back with two | :03:01. | :03:04. | |
European champions. It is a phenomenal achievement. Are you back | :03:05. | :03:08. | |
to school next week or what's the deal? I'm going back tomorrow! I | :03:09. | :03:16. | |
haven't been for about four weeks because the nationals were three | :03:17. | :03:19. | |
weeks before the championships. It's half term next week, apparently. A | :03:20. | :03:25. | |
lot of catching up to do! What an outstanding effort from the British | :03:26. | :03:26. | |
gymnast. Some of | :03:27. | :03:30. | |
your schools will be closed tomorrow so adults can use them to vote | :03:31. | :03:32. | |
in local and European elections. They're turning | :03:33. | :03:35. | |
into polling stations for the day. Across the UK people will be | :03:36. | :03:38. | |
voting for who they want to But what does this mean | :03:39. | :03:41. | |
and why does it matter? Here's the BBC's politics | :03:42. | :03:45. | |
reporter Ross Hawkins. We don't only choose people to | :03:46. | :03:50. | |
represent us at this parliament here in London. We also send 73 | :03:51. | :03:55. | |
politicians to speak for Britain in something called the European | :03:56. | :04:01. | |
Parliament, which is in between two foreign cities. Its job is to check | :04:02. | :04:05. | |
out new rules that come out something called the European Union, | :04:06. | :04:09. | |
a sort club of countries. Some politicians think Britain should | :04:10. | :04:13. | |
leave that club and the big question is whether one political party that | :04:14. | :04:16. | |
thinks Britain should leave the club straightaway, called UKIP, will do | :04:17. | :04:21. | |
as well at the elections tomorrow as lots of people expect. | :04:22. | :04:25. | |
And if you want to know more then head over to the Newsround | :04:26. | :04:29. | |
website and check out our special guide to the European elections. | :04:30. | :04:32. | |
That's also the place to be for loads more from the Downie | :04:33. | :04:35. | |
sisters talking about their gymnastic success. | :04:36. | :04:37. | |
Last up, when you visit a new city you might want to check out the | :04:38. | :04:41. | |
nice restaurant but what about the toilets? | :04:42. | :04:44. | |
Well, tour guide Rachel Erikson takes visitors round her favourite | :04:45. | :04:47. | |
loos in London telling them about their history. | :04:48. | :04:49. | |
That's all from me and the team. We're back at 6:50pm but stick with | :04:50. | :04:59. | |
CBBC for the rest of the afternoon and I'll see you soon. | :05:00. | :05:01. |
