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