:00:32. > :00:40.Hello, Ore and Hayley here with We're in a slightly different

:00:40. > :00:42.Newsround studio this afternoon. The big clear up has begun in the

:00:42. > :00:45.parts of the country hit by the devastating flooding this week.

:00:45. > :00:48.Large bits of the south-west and north-east of England were left

:00:48. > :00:51.underwater as rivers burst their banks. In North Wales, hundreds of

:00:51. > :00:55.people were forced to leave their homes in the tiny city of St Asaph.

:00:55. > :00:57.A charity fund has been set up to help those affected and energy

:00:57. > :01:00.companies are working hard to restore power. We went along there

:01:00. > :01:03.yesterday to see how the families were coping after watching water

:01:03. > :01:06.flood into their homes. Many were put up at temporary rescue shelters.

:01:06. > :01:14.The floodwaters have started to recede now. And we've sent Nel to

:01:14. > :01:18.St Asaph to see how they're coping with the big clean up. 24 hours ago,

:01:18. > :01:23.where I'm standing was completely under water. But things are

:01:23. > :01:27.improving. Now, as the water levels go down, the tough job of the

:01:27. > :01:31.clean-up has begun. More than 400 homes were damaged in the floods

:01:31. > :01:36.here at St Asaph, and lots of families have had to find somewhere

:01:36. > :01:43.else to stay Foster I've come to meet Lucy and her family leave.

:01:43. > :01:50.What did you notice when you came down into the living room?

:01:50. > :01:55.noticed where the water was here. It came up to about here. It was

:01:55. > :02:02.brown and dirty. There was stuff coming in that we didn't even know.

:02:02. > :02:06.People's belongings. Where did you spend the night? Upstairs, because

:02:06. > :02:11.we've got pets and all of our precious belongings are here. We

:02:11. > :02:16.just couldn't go anywhere else. it's not only the water and mud

:02:16. > :02:20.that's the problem. The flood water can be contaminated with foul

:02:20. > :02:24.sewage and other material. The effect of that can be long lasting.

:02:24. > :02:28.It can end up with mould growth and a long lasting smell, so it's

:02:28. > :02:31.essential that things are thoroughly cleaned. The weather

:02:31. > :02:35.forecast for the next few days is better and hopefully the worst of

:02:35. > :02:38.the flooding is over. But for Lucy, her family and hundreds like them

:02:38. > :02:48.across the country, it may be at least a few months before things

:02:48. > :02:52.

:02:52. > :02:57.Stay with us some -- for some exciting movie news. How did you

:02:57. > :03:02.get to school today? Some health experts think we are not getting

:03:02. > :03:04.enough regular exercise. Today, schools and companies have been

:03:04. > :03:08.giving you advice on how to encourage more of us to get fitter.

:03:08. > :03:18.It says walking and cycling should be the first choice for short

:03:18. > :03:35.

:03:35. > :03:39.journeys. Andrew says he walks to Keep them coming in. The Duke and

:03:39. > :03:42.Duchess of Cambridge have been in Cambridge today. It might surprise

:03:42. > :03:45.you given their title, but it's the first time William and Kate have

:03:45. > :03:49.visited the city since their wedding. Hundreds of fans turned

:03:49. > :03:59.out to meet them, including one lady who gave the Prince a babygro

:03:59. > :03:59.

:03:59. > :04:04.He was one of the world's first supercelebs. David Livingstone, a

:04:04. > :04:07.daring and mysterious explorer in Africa during Victorian times. He

:04:07. > :04:10.travelled all over the continent, went missing for six years and even

:04:10. > :04:17.helped to end slavery. Now a new exhibition about his life has

:04:18. > :04:21.He was a doctor from a small village in Scotland, but David

:04:21. > :04:24.Livingstone spent lots of his time in Africa. At that time people in

:04:24. > :04:28.the UK didn't know much about Africa and travelling was much more

:04:28. > :04:32.difficult. He was a bit of a celebrity during his life and gave

:04:32. > :04:37.talks to people about his time abroad. He was so famous, people

:04:37. > :04:40.even collected cards with his photo on. Although he was born almost 200

:04:40. > :04:50.years ago people still remember him, especially for his part in ending

:04:50. > :04:50.

:04:50. > :04:59.slavery in Malawi. He changed people's attitudes in the way they

:04:59. > :05:04.relate to one another, irrespective of colour, ethnicity and social

:05:04. > :05:06.background. He went missing in Africa for six years but was found

:05:07. > :05:09.by another explorer, Henry Morton Stanley, who famously went up to

:05:09. > :05:13.him and said, Dr Livingstone, I presume? The exhibition includes

:05:13. > :05:15.the hats the men are thought to have been wearing when they met. It

:05:15. > :05:23.also has some of the things Livingstone collected on his

:05:23. > :05:27.travels. People have put a different spin on his life, and

:05:27. > :05:31.we're still doing that now. Our exhibition is very much a 21st

:05:31. > :05:33.century perspective on Livingstone, revisiting some of what you might

:05:33. > :05:36.call the myths. Dr David Livingstone helped bring education,

:05:36. > :05:39.free trade and religion to Africa and he discovered more about the

:05:39. > :05:49.continent. This exhibition celebrates his life and work and

:05:49. > :05:52.

:05:52. > :05:55.lets people get to know him a Finally, it cost hundreds of

:05:55. > :05:58.millions of pounds and has got film fans around the world seriously

:05:58. > :06:01.excited. The Hobbit is the new movie by Lord of the Rings director

:06:01. > :06:03.Peter Jackson, and has just had its world premiere in New Zealand's

:06:03. > :06:12.capital, Wellington. But there's been controversy, too, as Leah's

:06:12. > :06:17.It is hard to believe that a film set to earn millions at the box-

:06:17. > :06:20.office was written 75 years ago. The Hobbit was originally written

:06:20. > :06:25.as a children's fantasy book by JR R Tolkien, the man behind the Lord

:06:25. > :06:30.Of The Rings trilogy. At now, just like those stories, The Hobbit has

:06:30. > :06:34.had a Hollywood makeover. JR R Tolkien, who wrote the habit, is

:06:34. > :06:38.such an inspirational character. The book has influenced so many

:06:38. > :06:41.people, JK Rowling was influenced when she wrote the Harry Potter

:06:41. > :06:45.series. People have travelled around the world to come to New

:06:45. > :06:50.Zealand for the premier. It took the actors two hours to just walk

:06:50. > :06:54.down the red carpet, it was that big. An unexpected journey is the

:06:54. > :07:00.first of three Hobbit films and cost more than �300 million to make.

:07:00. > :07:05.It follows habit on a mission to find treasure Garbutt by a dragon.

:07:05. > :07:10.And getting the film to the cinema wasn't simple either. Filming was

:07:10. > :07:13.delayed a month after a row over actors' wages. There was a fire on

:07:13. > :07:17.set and Peter Jackson, the man behind the Lord Of The Rings movies,

:07:17. > :07:21.had to take over after the original director walked out. But that

:07:21. > :07:25.didn't stop the thousands of fans that turned out for the premiere in

:07:25. > :07:29.Wellington, New Zealand. The country is expecting a huge boost

:07:29. > :07:35.in tourism, as people come to see the locations used in the movie.

:07:35. > :07:37.Hello, Wellington, where have you been, precious? After years of

:07:37. > :07:42.anticipation and the big build-up to one of the most talked-about

:07:42. > :07:52.films of the year, it appears that Hobbit fever has officially taken

:07:52. > :07:53.

:07:53. > :07:56.That looks totally amazing. If you want to see more pictures of that,

:07:56. > :08:02.head over to the Newsround website to see a whole picture gallery from

:08:02. > :08:07.that premiere in New Zealand. My cousin's field is in that film.

:08:07. > :08:12.I'm sure your cousin will be fallen over...

:08:12. > :08:16.You will be able to see it in cinemas here from December. Finally,

:08:16. > :08:19.you've heard of the saying - no crying over spilt milk. Well, there

:08:19. > :08:22.may have been a few tears for these police officers in Belgium who got

:08:22. > :08:25.sprayed with milk during a protest. Thousands of angry dairy farmers,

:08:25. > :08:27.accompanied by hundreds of tractors, descended on the Belgian capital

:08:27. > :08:37.Brussels to protest against falling dairy prices and sprayed milk all

:08:37. > :08:45.

:08:45. > :08:49.over riot police and the European parliament. That's going to smell!
