Hi, I'm Martin, live from the Newsround studios.

We find out why the number of these fascinating creatures is

:00:00.:00:09.

And England top the Commonwealth Games medal table after

:00:10.:00:13.

First, officials in Eastbourne say they're hopeful the resort's pier

:00:14.:00:25.

can be rebuilt after much of it was destroyed by fire.

:00:26.:00:28.

The blaze broke out on the famous South Coast attraction

:00:29.:00:30.

Nobody was hurt and it's thought the fire started

:00:31.:00:33.

Fire fighters remain on the scene this morning.

:00:34.:00:40.

Next up, you may have seen one of these fantastic creatures already

:00:41.:00:44.

on your summer holiday because the number of jellyfish is on

:00:45.:00:46.

To find out why their numbers are on the up, Ayshah took a trip

:00:47.:00:52.

This jellyfish is the same size as a dustbin lid and taste just one of

:00:53.:01:07.

hundreds that have been recorded this year around the UK. Wright

:01:08.:01:13.

show, large numbers of them have been spotted around the coast of

:01:14.:01:21.

Cornwall. For the last nine years, the Marine conservation Society and

:01:22.:01:24.

the University of Exeter have been recording the number of jellyfish.

:01:25.:01:30.

Reporting over 5000 sightings in this time. I have seen four or five

:01:31.:01:37.

different species this spring. We have seen the most common one and

:01:38.:01:42.

another jellyfish, which is very large. That is a much bigger animal.

:01:43.:01:49.

It can be at least as big as a seven-year-old person and it's quite

:01:50.:01:54.

impressive. The best way to see them is to get on a boat. He has got his

:01:55.:02:03.

wet suit on and is looking for some giant fish. We have got a moon

:02:04.:02:13.

jellyfish. We just managed to catch one. This is a moon jellyfish. Can

:02:14.:02:19.

you tell us a bit more about it. It is very common. It has got for rings

:02:20.:02:25.

in the mid-will of its body. Watch a dude do if you see this type of

:02:26.:02:31.

jellyfish? Luck, but do not touch. Unless you are run expert in

:02:32.:02:35.

identifying them, it is best not to touch them. It is now time to let

:02:36.:02:45.

them go. Goodbye, jellyfish. If you are going to the beach this summer,

:02:46.:02:48.

you might be lucky enough to see one of these creatures, but remember, it

:02:49.:02:53.

is best to keep your distance and admired them from afar. I am coming

:02:54.:02:56.

in for a dip. Next, if you think the athletes

:02:57.:03:00.

running at the Commonwealth Games are fast at running,

:03:01.:03:03.

look how fast Ayshah managed to run from jellyfish to a Glasgow studio

:03:04.:03:06.

to give us the latest on the games. Welcome back to Glasgow

:03:07.:03:09.

for another action-packed day. But before we tell you what's coming

:03:10.:03:18.

up, let's take a look back Greg Rutherford,

:03:19.:03:21.

the Olympic long jump champion, became the Commonwealth champion

:03:22.:03:24.

last night after leaping to gold. At one point, he looked like he

:03:25.:03:28.

might have to settle for silver, but cheered on by the crowd in Hampden

:03:29.:03:32.

Park, he leapt 8.20 metres on his In the gymnastics arena, Max

:03:37.:03:46.

gold in Glasgow as England dominated And over in the diving pool,

:03:47.:03:48.

England's Alicia Blagg and Rebecca Gallantree pulled out all

:03:49.:03:56.

the stops in their final dive to take gold in the synchronised

:03:57.:03:59.

three-metre springboard. And there was a medal for England's

:04:00.:04:01.

Jack Laugher, who performed a diving masterclass to win gold in the men's

:04:02.:04:04.

one-metre springboard final. So much action on Day 7, then,

couple of pictures with some Commonwealth Games people. I did

:05:20.:05:24.

favourite moments of the games so far? I saw someone I know run for
