0:00:05 > 0:00:06Hey everyone, Leah here with the latest
0:00:06 > 0:00:08from Newsround here on CBBC.
0:00:08 > 0:00:10Coming up today...
0:00:10 > 0:00:12BFG star Ruby answers your questions.
0:00:12 > 0:00:16The animal lover getting ready to fly with swans,
0:00:16 > 0:00:24and the trampoline superstar who's just won a big competition.
0:00:30 > 0:00:32First to some big Olympic news today.
0:00:33 > 0:00:36Track and field athletes from one of the biggest countries
0:00:36 > 0:00:38in the world - Russia, will be banned from competing
0:00:38 > 0:00:41at this summer's Games in Rio.
0:00:41 > 0:00:44This is the story so far.
0:00:44 > 0:00:47Russia is one of the most successful countries in Olympic history,
0:00:47 > 0:00:50having won many medals in athletics.
0:00:50 > 0:00:53But they won't be adding to their medal tally
0:00:53 > 0:00:55this summer in Rio.
0:00:55 > 0:00:58The country's track and field team aren't allowed to compete
0:00:58 > 0:01:01in the Olympics because lots of them have been cheating.
0:01:01 > 0:01:03They have been found guilty of doping.
0:01:03 > 0:01:06That is when people use banned drugs to cheat and give themselves
0:01:06 > 0:01:09an unfair advantage in competitions.
0:01:09 > 0:01:13The Russian Olympic Committee and 68 athletes argued against the decision
0:01:13 > 0:01:17to ban them by the organisation which runs world athletics.
0:01:17 > 0:01:19But the ruling has not changed.
0:01:19 > 0:01:23Things could get worse for all of Russia's sportsmen and women.
0:01:23 > 0:01:25There are calls to ban all the country's teams
0:01:25 > 0:01:28from the Games as experts look into whether or not other athletes
0:01:28 > 0:01:32have also broken the rules.
0:01:32 > 0:01:35And you can find out more about how athletes are tested for drugs
0:01:35 > 0:01:38in our online guide.
0:01:38 > 0:01:41Football now, because it's thought that Sunderland boss Sam Allardyce
0:01:41 > 0:01:44will be confirmed as the new England manager later today.
0:01:44 > 0:01:47Allardyce has been at Sunderland for the last nine months,
0:01:47 > 0:01:50and managed to keep his team in the Premier League last season.
0:01:50 > 0:01:53He's thought to have met with the Football Association
0:01:53 > 0:01:56last week to talk about replacing Roy Hodgson, who quit in June
0:01:56 > 0:02:01after England's humiliating defeat to Iceland in the Euros.
0:02:01 > 0:02:04From footy to a sport that you may not know too much
0:02:04 > 0:02:05about...
0:02:05 > 0:02:07Trampoline Gymnastics.
0:02:07 > 0:02:10The sport involves hurtling down a runway at top speed,
0:02:10 > 0:02:12before launching yourself into the air
0:02:12 > 0:02:14to perform a series of high-flying stunts.
0:02:14 > 0:02:17This is 15-year-old Harrison from Leeds and he's just won
0:02:17 > 0:02:19the national title in the Double Mini Trampoline
0:02:19 > 0:02:22to become the new British Champion.
0:02:22 > 0:02:24It feels really good.
0:02:24 > 0:02:26I am really happy with how I performed.
0:02:26 > 0:02:29I scored the best I have ever scored in a competition
0:02:29 > 0:02:32so I am really happy with how I did.
0:02:32 > 0:02:36I love running up to it and when I jump onto the trampoline
0:02:36 > 0:02:40and go really high, it feels really good.
0:02:40 > 0:02:43Now to one of the biggest and possibly friendliest films
0:02:43 > 0:02:44of the summer.
0:02:44 > 0:02:47Roald Dahl's classic book the BFG has been turned into a film.
0:02:47 > 0:02:50One of the stars of the movie is Ruby Barnhill who plays Sophie.
0:02:50 > 0:02:52Earlier, she came into the studio and Ayshah
0:02:52 > 0:02:54asked her some of your questions.
0:02:54 > 0:02:56Hope from Aberfeldy in Scotland wanted to know how Ruby felt
0:02:56 > 0:02:59during filming?
0:02:59 > 0:03:02I was really, really nervous when we started filming
0:03:02 > 0:03:05because it was such a big thing for me.
0:03:05 > 0:03:07I was unsure about everything.
0:03:07 > 0:03:10But then Steven, the director of the film and Mark who plays
0:03:10 > 0:03:13the BFG, and everyone on set made me feel really, really comfortable
0:03:13 > 0:03:16so that helped a lot.
0:03:16 > 0:03:18It must have helped a lot.
0:03:18 > 0:03:20Fara in Surrey asks, how did it feel to pretend
0:03:20 > 0:03:23there was an actual giant there when you were filming?
0:03:23 > 0:03:25What was that like to pretend?
0:03:25 > 0:03:28Mark Rylance was there all of the time actually,
0:03:28 > 0:03:31on a scissor lift, so I would have somebody to look at and Mark
0:03:31 > 0:03:35would kind of do the body movements of the BFG
0:03:35 > 0:03:38and the physical movements.
0:03:38 > 0:03:41But I think most actors and actresses would say
0:03:41 > 0:03:44it was quite unusual, but because this was my first film,
0:03:44 > 0:03:47it was interesting so I enjoyed it.
0:03:47 > 0:03:50One last one, Isabel in Devon says what is your
0:03:50 > 0:03:52favourite Roald Dahl book?
0:03:52 > 0:03:55The first Roald Dahl book I read was Fantastic Mr Fox...
0:03:55 > 0:03:56Me too!
0:03:56 > 0:03:59And I still really love that.
0:03:59 > 0:04:03I also really love George's Marvellous Medicine.
0:04:03 > 0:04:05Well, since it's summer holiday season, we've been asking you
0:04:05 > 0:04:07what you're planning to get up to.
0:04:07 > 0:04:09Here are some of your comments.
0:04:09 > 0:04:11Jessica in London says, I'm going to be seeing my cousins
0:04:11 > 0:04:13and going to Wales.
0:04:13 > 0:04:17Victoria in the West Midlands says, I am going camping in Wales and then

0:04:33 > 0:04:36from Russia to the UK are going to have company this year.
0:04:36 > 0:04:39Conservationist Sacha Dench is going to go with them
0:04:39 > 0:04:41using a motor parachute to try to find out
0:04:41 > 0:04:44why their numbers are in decline.
0:04:44 > 0:04:47She's been training to fly thousands of miles with the birds
0:04:47 > 0:04:51including over the North Sea.
0:04:51 > 0:04:54That's all from me, Newsround's back in the morning
