:00:25. > :00:28.Hello there guys, Ricky and Leah here with your Tuesday afternoon
:00:28. > :00:32.Newsround. Great to have you with us. On the
:00:32. > :00:39.way tonight: why this school's gone Mobot crazy.
:00:39. > :00:43.And, how on the ball are this lot? First though, rain. Buckets and
:00:43. > :00:46.buckets of it. You probably had a very wet journey home from school
:00:46. > :00:49.today. Yet again many parts of the country are flooded. Hundreds of
:00:49. > :00:52.people have been forced out of their homes in the north-east of
:00:52. > :00:57.England. According to the Met Office the people who monitor
:00:57. > :01:03.weather in the UK, unto 10cms of rain could fall in some areas, and
:01:03. > :01:07.rivers burst their banks, leaving roads underwater. In Morpeth in
:01:07. > :01:10.Northumberland firefighters had to rescue people in their homes.
:01:10. > :01:16.had about 100 properties in the flood risk area most affected by
:01:16. > :01:19.the floods. We've had to carry out 37 rescues using our water rescue
:01:20. > :01:29.teams. We've had to close the bridge because of the impact of the
:01:29. > :01:34.debris on the bridge. It has been quite a to which rows time for the
:01:34. > :01:38.residents. Earlier -- a tortuous time for the residents. I checked
:01:38. > :01:42.out one of the worst-hit parts of country. This is the hebdon river
:01:42. > :01:46.in Yorkshire. They've already had two floods this summer. The water
:01:46. > :01:50.levels on the river are incredibly hif. This used to be a foot path
:01:50. > :01:53.and the real worry is if there's heavy rain overnight the river
:01:53. > :01:57.could burst its banks. Homes and businesses here are still
:01:57. > :02:01.recovering from the floods in June and July, so people are nervous
:02:01. > :02:06.about the same thing happening again, but the forecast isn't good.
:02:06. > :02:10.In areas like this there's expected to be up to 10cms of rain in just
:02:10. > :02:15.24 hours. So that's a whole month's worth of
:02:15. > :02:19.rain in just one day. People are well used to defending
:02:19. > :02:22.themselves from the floods in this area and one way people are
:02:22. > :02:28.defending their businesses or their homes is by using these.
:02:28. > :02:35.Sandbags. Your camera broke because it was so
:02:35. > :02:39.wet didn't it? Yes. Next to a story about a schoolgirl who's been front
:02:39. > :02:42.page news since they ran away last Thursday. Many thousands of kids
:02:42. > :02:45.run away from home every year in the TUC, but Megan Stammers is
:02:45. > :02:50.thought to have gone all the way to France with a teacher. Police are
:02:50. > :02:54.looking for both of them and the 15-year-old's parents are begging
:02:55. > :02:57.them to come home and she won't be in trouble. Watch out for the
:02:57. > :03:02.flashes. Last Thursday Megan Stammers told
:03:02. > :03:08.her mum she was off to stay at a friend's house. Her family haven't
:03:08. > :03:14.seen her since. Yesterday her parents begged ler to get in touch
:03:14. > :03:20.and come home. Sweetheart, I don't care what you've done, I'm in
:03:20. > :03:27.pieces. I want you home. Megan, we had a date on Saturday and we
:03:27. > :03:33.didn't make it. Babes, the offer is still there, sweetheart. I just
:03:33. > :03:36.want you to come home safe. This is the man Megan is with, 30-year-old
:03:36. > :03:40.Jeremy Forrest, a maths teacher at her school in Sussex. They boarded
:03:40. > :03:44.a ferry to France on Thursday night. They had booked a return by the
:03:44. > :03:48.same route on Sunday but never did. The school said there had been
:03:48. > :03:53.concerns about the relationship before this happened. On a previous
:03:53. > :03:58.school trir they were reportedly seen by another pupil holding hands.
:03:58. > :04:04.UK lis are working with the French authorities to try to -- police are
:04:04. > :04:07.working with the French authorities to try to bring her home safely.
:04:07. > :04:11.need to know that you are OK. Your family and friends are extremely
:04:11. > :04:16.worried but you are not, and I stress you are not in any trouble.
:04:16. > :04:19.Because Megan is 15 she is legally still a child. Her teacher has been
:04:19. > :04:22.criticised because part of a teacher's job is to look after
:04:23. > :04:25.children on behalf of their parents. Although it is important that have
:04:25. > :04:31.a good relationship with your teachers at school, we've been
:04:31. > :04:36.looking into this story today. We've got in touch with a former
:04:36. > :04:40.teachers' union leader. She told us the trust children have for their
:04:40. > :04:44.teachers is clearly important and this is an abuse of that trust.
:04:44. > :04:48.Police are asking friends of the missing teenager if they have any
:04:48. > :04:55.information about where she might be. Her family can only hope she
:04:55. > :04:59.returns home safely. To Syria now. The charity Save the
:04:59. > :05:05.Children has a big report out about how the children have been affect
:05:05. > :05:11.by the war there. They spoke so children who fled the problems and
:05:11. > :05:15.are living with their families in refugee camps. Many have seen other
:05:15. > :05:21.peopled. The charity is calling on the UN to send more officials into
:05:21. > :05:27.the UK to monitor what's happening. Ali is 12 and is living with his
:05:27. > :05:32.family in a refugee camp in neighbouring jofrpbltd TRANSLATION:
:05:32. > :05:36.Our family left -- in neighbouring Jordan. TRANSLATION: Our family
:05:36. > :05:41.left because of the bombardments. We could barely sleep. That's why
:05:41. > :05:44.we ran away. The charity is working with kids like Ali to rebuild their
:05:44. > :05:47.lives. It says it is important people know what's happening in
:05:47. > :05:52.Syria. They are telling us of their school being bombed, of tanks
:05:52. > :05:55.knocking down their houses, of relatives that have been killed by
:05:55. > :06:00.the Army, of breaking into their house in the middle of the night.
:06:01. > :06:05.This is appalling and it has to stop now. Next, it it was Mobot all
:06:05. > :06:10.the way at a classroom in west London. Double Olympic gold
:06:10. > :06:17.medallist Mo Farah went to visit his old school. He met pupils in
:06:17. > :06:22.felt Tam Community College in Hounslow and gave them a lesson in
:06:22. > :06:29.his trademark. This is where I grew up. I went to school here and now
:06:29. > :06:32.I'm grown up a man. It is awesome to be back and talking to the kids.
:06:32. > :06:36.It's a completely different feeling. It looks like it is not only bad
:06:36. > :06:40.news for us trying to get out and about but for our beaches too.
:06:40. > :06:45.There's a warning that beachs in England and Wales could get dirtier.
:06:45. > :06:49.And what's to blame? The rain. The UK has some of the most
:06:49. > :06:53.beautiful coastline in the world, but water pollution at some of our
:06:53. > :06:56.most famous beauty spots could change the way we think of our
:06:56. > :07:01.seaside. Last year ten beachs in England and Wales failed to meet
:07:01. > :07:05.the standard needed for swimming. Bathing there could give you an
:07:05. > :07:09.upset stomach and make you feel pretty unwell. This year the news
:07:09. > :07:13.is worse. It looks like 26 beachs will fail this standard when new
:07:13. > :07:16.results from published next month, including Blackpool, Exmouth and
:07:17. > :07:22.Weston-super-Mare. The news could be a blow for seaside towns that
:07:22. > :07:26.rely on mon spent by visiting tourists. What has caused the
:07:26. > :07:29.change? It is this stuff - rain, and lots of it. You might think
:07:29. > :07:34.more water in the sea would be a good thing. But the record rainfall
:07:34. > :07:39.in the first three months of the summer has swept more fertilisers
:07:39. > :07:42.and pesticides from farms into rivers and the sea. Sewage is a
:07:43. > :07:48.major problem. When it rains heavily sewage pipes fill up to.
:07:48. > :07:52.Stop the filthy water with things like poo in it flooding back into
:07:52. > :07:56.people's homes, it flows through overflow pipes into the sea. Water
:07:56. > :08:00.companies have spent billions of pounds trying to upgrade pipes to
:08:00. > :08:06.tackle the problem, but with stricter standards for water
:08:06. > :08:09.quality in three years, some of England and Wales' most popular
:08:09. > :08:13.seaside resorts might soon have to the display signs saying no
:08:13. > :08:19.swimming. Now, if you like a game of keepy
:08:19. > :08:23.uppy, keep this lot out in Italy. Japan's Kotaro Tokuda impressed
:08:24. > :08:28.with his energetic display of skills, which won him the men's
:08:28. > :08:34.time. Next up was Kitty Saz from Hungary, who won the women's top
:08:34. > :08:39.prize. Very nice. And we've been looking through some of the alien
:08:39. > :08:48.drawings on the website. This Friday on Newsround we are giving
:08:48. > :08:53.you an exclusive first look at a breed of aliens from a new CBBC
