Leah here this Wednesday evening - stick around for some of this...

:00:00.:00:07.

The best footage of baby cranes you'll see all day!

:00:08.:00:11.

And another chance to see the loo lady who gives tours

:00:12.:00:14.

First to a very special award for a very special dog.

:00:15.:00:24.

An army dog who saved many lives in Afghanistan has been given the

:00:25.:00:28.

highest award any animal can receive while serving in the military.

:00:29.:00:31.

Sadly, Sasha the labrador passed away in 2008 but she was today

:00:32.:00:35.

honoured with the Dickin Medal at a special ceremony in London.

:00:36.:00:40.

During her time in the army, Sasha helped discover 15 hoards

:00:41.:00:43.

of weapons used by the Taliban who were fighting out there.

:00:44.:00:50.

Next to gymnastics and Team GB's junior men's team have got

:00:51.:00:53.

their European Championships campaign underway in Bulgaria.

:00:54.:00:55.

The seniors, including Olympic bronze medallist Max Whitlock,

:00:56.:00:57.

will have to wait until tomorrow to start their quest for medals.

:00:58.:01:00.

But they all have a very tough act to follow

:01:01.:01:03.

after the women's teams brought home eight medals earlier in the week.

:01:04.:01:06.

Gold medallists Becky Downie and her sister Ellie came into the studio

:01:07.:01:09.

I am just really happy. All my hard work has paid off. The family cannot

:01:10.:01:38.

believe it that we have come back with European champions. It is

:01:39.:01:42.

phenomenal. I you back to school next week? I'm going back tomorrow.

:01:43.:01:55.

It is half term next week, apparently. A a lot of catching up

:01:56.:01:58.

to do then. Now, when you visit

:01:59.:02:04.

a new city you might want to check out the sights - tourist

:02:05.:02:07.

attractions, a nice restaurant, Well tour guide Rachel Erikson takes

:02:08.:02:10.

visitors round her favourite loos in London telling them

:02:11.:02:14.

about their history. The tours are pretty popular

:02:15.:02:16.

and Rachel says being I love London and its history. My

:02:17.:02:34.

obsession was where you could go to the toilet for free.

:02:35.:02:40.

Last up to some rare footage of baby cranes hatched this week.

:02:41.:02:43.

The team at the Slimbridge Wetland Centre in Gloucestershire believe

:02:44.:02:45.

the chicks are the first to be born in the wild in 400 years.

:02:46.:02:49.

Cranes used to be quite common throughout the UK

:02:50.:02:52.

but their numbers are low because of hunting and habitat loss.

:02:53.:02:55.

The birds will be monitored on a webcam to make sure they're OK.

:02:56.:02:58.

That's all from me, Newsround's back tomorrow morning with Ayshah.

:02:59.:03:01.
