Hi guys, Leah here with the dolphin stuck in a river, gold

medal gymnasts and the fist bumping fun you can get involved in.

:00:00.:00:08.

But first to Gaza in the Middle East, where fighting is continuing

:00:09.:00:22.

More than 1000 Palestinians and 56 Israelis have been killed in clashes

:00:23.:00:29.

over the last three weeks and there's been further violence today.

:00:30.:00:33.

The BBC's Martin Patience is in Gaza and told Newsround the effect it's

:00:34.:00:36.

Just a warning, you might find parts of what Martin says upsetting.

:00:37.:00:47.

The children might seem happy but this is actually a very sad place.

:00:48.:00:58.

In war, it is not only adults that died, but children to. But the last

:00:59.:01:04.

three weeks, both sides have been firing rockets at each other and

:01:05.:01:07.

those rockets are very dangerous. Many children here in Gaza have been

:01:08.:01:15.

killed in the fighting. At night, some of them have nightmares and

:01:16.:01:21.

hear explosions. Until the adults decide to stop the fighting, the

:01:22.:01:26.

rockets will continue. What that means is that no child is safe

:01:27.:01:28.

here. If you're upset by anything you see

:01:29.:01:29.

in the news, please remember there is lots of help and advice

on the Newsround website. You can also watch Hayley's report

of the planet's biggest mines. Environmental campaigners have

:01:52.:01:54.

criticised the Australian government for giving the go-ahead to

:01:55.:01:57.

a massive coal mine in Queensland. The site could produce 60 million

:01:58.:02:02.

tonnes of fuel each year but campaigners believe

for big bottlenoses like this to swim this far in-land and people

:03:26.:03:30.

of the best way to greet people. It's after research at
