:01:08. > :01:09.whether or not she'd be allowed to continue her journey to

:01:10. > :01:14.Eventually, she reached Germany where her

:01:15. > :01:17.brother was already living and has built a new life.

:01:18. > :01:20.So how does Nujeen describe herself now?

:01:28. > :01:42.She's in safety now but thinks about the

:01:43. > :01:45.fighting that's still going on in Syria, comparing the country

:01:46. > :01:49.to a sick person who she hopes will get better one day.

:01:50. > :02:00.But don't worry, you just is really, really sick.

:02:01. > :02:02.But I'm sure you're going to get better, and when you

:02:37. > :02:38.Dame Sarah Storey is quite simply Britain's greatest

:02:39. > :02:42.Over an incredible seven games, she's won 14 golds

:02:43. > :02:44.in swimming and cycling - including three at this

:02:45. > :02:51.She popped into Newsround HQ to answer some of your questions.

:02:52. > :02:53.How did you feel when you won your medals?

:02:54. > :02:59.That first gold medal that went around my

:03:00. > :03:01.neck at the velodrome, I couldn't believe how heavy it was.

:03:02. > :03:05.It really got to me and sort of choked me up a little

:03:06. > :03:07.bit and people noticed, and they were like, were

:03:08. > :03:10.It was an incredibly emotional time getting the medals.

:03:11. > :03:12.How do you beat your nerves before a race?

:03:13. > :03:16.The nervous energy is really good, provided you don't get too nervous.

:03:17. > :03:20.If you get too nervous, then you can't perform properly

:03:21. > :03:27.For me, I try to focus on the job in hand, going

:03:28. > :03:33.through the processes I've practised in training.

:03:34. > :03:35.Thinking about the thing I'm about to do and not

:03:36. > :03:38.getting distracted by anything else that's on the outside of that.

:03:39. > :03:46.I got into cycling because I went over to the

:03:47. > :03:49.Manchester Velodrome, to a public taster session.

:03:50. > :03:53.You can do that at any velodrome around the country,

:03:54. > :03:54.in Newport, Derby, Glasgow, here in Manchester

:03:55. > :04:00.and you learn to ride the track to start with.

:04:01. > :04:03.Then I got into road cycling and road cycling really

:04:04. > :04:07.caught my heart, so that's probably where I spend most of my time now.

:04:08. > :04:09.What advice would you give to your younger self

:04:10. > :04:18.It teaches you about discipline, about

:04:19. > :04:23.About meeting deadlines, because races won't change

:04:24. > :04:30.But the biggest piece of advice would be go

:04:31. > :04:40.In terms of where I keep all my medals, I can't tell

:04:41. > :04:47.According to weather experts today is the Autumn equinox.

:04:48. > :04:50.This means today the hours of day and night are equal.

:04:51. > :04:53.It's all to do with how the earth tilts towards the sun.

:04:54. > :05:07.The Northern Hemisphere's summer means we are tilted towards the sun,

:05:08. > :05:13.and in winter we are tilted away from it. During Equinox, we are

:05:14. > :05:21.neither cheated -- tilted towards or away from the sun. Theoretically, we

:05:22. > :05:26.have equal day and night, hence the name Equinox. The automatic when

:05:27. > :05:33.Knox happens on September the 22nd, 23rd 24th every year, so it is a

:05:34. > :05:37.movable feast. This year, it happens September the 22nd, the day when day

:05:38. > :05:40.and night will be of equal length all over the world.

:05:41. > :05:42.And finally, have you ever wanted to fly?

:05:43. > :05:45.Well, one animal expert is doing just that by flying next to swans

:05:46. > :05:49.For the next ten weeks, Sacha will fly the route thousands

:05:50. > :05:52.It's all to discover why their numbers are falling.

:05:53. > :05:54.She's setting off from Russia and will

:05:55. > :05:56.end up in the South West of England.

:05:57. > :05:59.That's all from me, Newsround's back at 4.20 with Martin.
