Hello, Ore and Hayley here with We're in a slightly different

:00:32.:00:40.

Newsround studio this afternoon. The big clear up has begun in the

:00:40.:00:42.

parts of the country hit by the devastating flooding this week.

:00:42.:00:45.

Large bits of the south-west and north-east of England were left

:00:45.:00:48.

underwater as rivers burst their banks. In North Wales, hundreds of

:00:48.:00:51.

people were forced to leave their homes in the tiny city of St Asaph.

:00:51.:00:55.

A charity fund has been set up to help those affected and energy

:00:55.:00:57.

companies are working hard to restore power. We went along there

:00:57.:01:00.

yesterday to see how the families were coping after watching water

:01:00.:01:03.

flood into their homes. Many were put up at temporary rescue shelters.

:01:03.:01:06.

The floodwaters have started to recede now. And we've sent Nel to

:01:06.:01:14.

St Asaph to see how they're coping with the big clean up. 24 hours ago,

:01:14.:01:18.

where I'm standing was completely under water. But things are

:01:18.:01:23.

improving. Now, as the water levels go down, the tough job of the

:01:23.:01:27.

clean-up has begun. More than 400 homes were damaged in the floods

:01:27.:01:31.

here at St Asaph, and lots of families have had to find somewhere

:01:31.:01:36.

else to stay Foster I've come to meet Lucy and her family leave.

:01:36.:01:43.

What did you notice when you came down into the living room?

:01:43.:01:50.

noticed where the water was here. It came up to about here. It was

:01:50.:01:55.

brown and dirty. There was stuff coming in that we didn't even know.

:01:55.:02:02.

People's belongings. Where did you spend the night? Upstairs, because

:02:02.:02:06.

we've got pets and all of our precious belongings are here. We

:02:06.:02:11.

just couldn't go anywhere else. it's not only the water and mud

:02:11.:02:16.

that's the problem. The flood water can be contaminated with foul

:02:16.:02:20.

sewage and other material. The effect of that can be long lasting.

:02:20.:02:24.

It can end up with mould growth and a long lasting smell, so it's

:02:24.:02:28.

essential that things are thoroughly cleaned. The weather

:02:28.:02:31.

forecast for the next few days is better and hopefully the worst of

:02:31.:02:35.

the flooding is over. But for Lucy, her family and hundreds like them

:02:35.:02:38.

across the country, it may be at least a few months before things

:02:38.:02:48.
:02:48.:02:52.

Stay with us some -- for some exciting movie news. How did you

:02:52.:02:57.

get to school today? Some health experts think we are not getting

:02:57.:03:02.

enough regular exercise. Today, schools and companies have been

:03:02.:03:04.

giving you advice on how to encourage more of us to get fitter.

:03:04.:03:08.

It says walking and cycling should be the first choice for short

journeys. Andrew says he walks to Keep them coming in. The Duke and

:03:35.:03:39.

Duchess of Cambridge have been in Cambridge today. It might surprise

:03:39.:03:42.

you given their title, but it's the first time William and Kate have

:03:42.:03:45.

visited the city since their wedding. Hundreds of fans turned

:03:45.:03:49.

out to meet them, including one lady who gave the Prince a babygro

:03:49.:03:59.
:03:59.:03:59.

He was one of the world's first supercelebs. David Livingstone, a

:03:59.:04:04.

daring and mysterious explorer in Africa during Victorian times. He

:04:04.:04:07.

travelled all over the continent, went missing for six years and even

:04:07.:04:10.

helped to end slavery. Now a new exhibition about his life has

:04:10.:04:17.

He was a doctor from a small village in Scotland, but David

:04:18.:04:21.

Livingstone spent lots of his time in Africa. At that time people in

:04:21.:04:24.

the UK didn't know much about Africa and travelling was much more

:04:24.:04:28.

difficult. He was a bit of a celebrity during his life and gave

:04:28.:04:32.

talks to people about his time abroad. He was so famous, people

:04:32.:04:37.

even collected cards with his photo on. Although he was born almost 200

:04:37.:04:40.

years ago people still remember him, especially for his part in ending

:04:40.:04:50.
:04:50.:04:50.

slavery in Malawi. He changed people's attitudes in the way they

:04:50.:04:59.

relate to one another, irrespective of colour, ethnicity and social

:04:59.:05:04.

background. He went missing in Africa for six years but was found

:05:04.:05:06.

by another explorer, Henry Morton Stanley, who famously went up to

:05:07.:05:09.

him and said, Dr Livingstone, I presume? The exhibition includes

:05:09.:05:13.

the hats the men are thought to have been wearing when they met. It

:05:13.:05:15.

also has some of the things Livingstone collected on his

:05:15.:05:23.

travels. People have put a different spin on his life, and

:05:23.:05:27.

we're still doing that now. Our exhibition is very much a 21st

:05:27.:05:31.

century perspective on Livingstone, revisiting some of what you might

:05:31.:05:33.

call the myths. Dr David Livingstone helped bring education,

:05:33.:05:36.

free trade and religion to Africa and he discovered more about the

:05:36.:05:39.

continent. This exhibition celebrates his life and work and

:05:39.:05:49.
:05:49.:05:52.

lets people get to know him a Finally, it cost hundreds of

:05:52.:05:55.

millions of pounds and has got film fans around the world seriously

:05:55.:05:58.

excited. The Hobbit is the new movie by Lord of the Rings director

:05:58.:06:01.

Peter Jackson, and has just had its world premiere in New Zealand's

:06:01.:06:03.

capital, Wellington. But there's been controversy, too, as Leah's

:06:03.:06:12.

It is hard to believe that a film set to earn millions at the box-

:06:12.:06:17.

office was written 75 years ago. The Hobbit was originally written

:06:17.:06:20.

as a children's fantasy book by JR R Tolkien, the man behind the Lord

:06:20.:06:25.

Of The Rings trilogy. At now, just like those stories, The Hobbit has

:06:25.:06:30.

had a Hollywood makeover. JR R Tolkien, who wrote the habit, is

:06:30.:06:34.

such an inspirational character. The book has influenced so many

:06:34.:06:38.

people, JK Rowling was influenced when she wrote the Harry Potter

:06:38.:06:41.

series. People have travelled around the world to come to New

:06:41.:06:45.

Zealand for the premier. It took the actors two hours to just walk

:06:45.:06:50.

down the red carpet, it was that big. An unexpected journey is the

:06:50.:06:54.

first of three Hobbit films and cost more than �300 million to make.

:06:54.:07:00.

It follows habit on a mission to find treasure Garbutt by a dragon.

:07:00.:07:05.

And getting the film to the cinema wasn't simple either. Filming was

:07:05.:07:10.

delayed a month after a row over actors' wages. There was a fire on

:07:10.:07:13.

set and Peter Jackson, the man behind the Lord Of The Rings movies,

:07:13.:07:17.

had to take over after the original director walked out. But that

:07:17.:07:21.

didn't stop the thousands of fans that turned out for the premiere in

:07:21.:07:25.

Wellington, New Zealand. The country is expecting a huge boost

:07:25.:07:29.

in tourism, as people come to see the locations used in the movie.

:07:29.:07:35.

Hello, Wellington, where have you been, precious? After years of

:07:35.:07:37.

anticipation and the big build-up to one of the most talked-about

:07:37.:07:42.

films of the year, it appears that Hobbit fever has officially taken

:07:42.:07:52.
:07:52.:07:53.

That looks totally amazing. If you want to see more pictures of that,

:07:53.:07:56.

head over to the Newsround website to see a whole picture gallery from

:07:56.:08:02.

that premiere in New Zealand. My cousin's field is in that film.

:08:02.:08:07.

I'm sure your cousin will be fallen over...

:08:07.:08:12.

You will be able to see it in cinemas here from December. Finally,

:08:12.:08:16.

you've heard of the saying - no crying over spilt milk. Well, there

:08:16.:08:19.

may have been a few tears for these police officers in Belgium who got

:08:19.:08:22.

sprayed with milk during a protest. Thousands of angry dairy farmers,

:08:22.:08:25.

accompanied by hundreds of tractors, descended on the Belgian capital

:08:25.:08:27.

Brussels to protest against falling dairy prices and sprayed milk all

:08:27.:08:37.
:08:37.:08:45.

over riot police and the European parliament. That's going to smell!

:08:45.:08:49.
