In the next few minutes: Andy Murray in action right now

0:00:120:00:15

in the French Open final.

0:00:150:00:16

And the robots making music.

0:00:160:00:20

But first, the family of legendary boxer Muhammad Ali have thanked

0:00:300:00:33

people for their tributes after he died aged 74.

0:00:330:00:38

American President Barack Obama said Ali shook up the world,

0:00:380:00:40

and the world is better for it.

0:00:400:00:48

A huge procession, followed by his funeral,

0:00:480:00:49

will be held on Friday.

0:00:490:00:51

And you can read about who Muhammad Ali was.

0:00:530:00:56

Britain's Andy Murray has just started his final at the French Open

0:00:560:00:58

against Novak Djokovic in Paris.

0:00:580:01:04

They

0:01:040:01:04

They have

0:01:040:01:04

They have just

0:01:040:01:04

They have just got

0:01:040:01:05

They have just got onto

0:01:050:01:05

They have just got onto court.

0:01:050:01:06

Murray beat Djokovic in the final of the Italian Open last month

0:01:060:01:09

and is aiming to be the first British man to win the French Open

0:01:090:01:13

since Fred Perry in 1935.

0:01:130:01:14

But Novak Djokovic has history on his mind, too,

0:01:140:01:16

and is aiming to complete a full set of grand slams.

0:01:160:01:21

England's women have given their hopes of qualifying for next

0:01:210:01:23

year's European Championships a boost as they beat Serbia 7-0.

0:01:230:01:29

The Lionesses were 3-0 up by half-time thanks to a goal

0:01:290:01:32

on her international debut from Rachel Daly.

0:01:320:01:34

A hat-trick from Karen Carney then sealed the epic win.

0:01:340:01:39

Gymnastics now and sisters Becky and Ellie Downing have both won

0:01:390:01:41

medals today in Switzerland.

0:01:410:01:44

Becky won gold on the uneven bars, while her younger sister

0:01:440:01:47

Ellie claimed two silvers on the vault and floor.

0:01:470:01:55

Becky's success means she's reclaimed the title

0:01:550:01:57

she won in 2014, while Ellie's vault and floor silvers take the GB

0:01:570:02:00

women's tally to four medals.

0:02:000:02:01

Now to the telescopes mapping out the furthest reaches of space

0:02:010:02:04

and the kids who live near them.

0:02:040:02:08

Jodrell Bank in the UK and Carnarvon in South Africa have

0:02:080:02:11

something that unites them, giant radio telescopes studying the skies.

0:02:110:02:16

So we decided to introduce kids from these areas

0:02:160:02:18

to each other to talk about

0:02:180:02:20

what they have in common!

0:02:200:02:21

This is where these kids go to school.

0:02:210:02:23

Hello from Jodrell Bank.

0:02:230:02:25

And this is where these guys go to school.

0:02:250:02:35

Carnarvon!

0:02:350:02:40

Different countries, thousands of miles apart,

0:02:400:02:41

with one big thing in common.

0:02:410:02:45

They both have massive telescopes on their doorsteps.

0:02:450:02:52

Today, we are bringing them together, so that they can find

0:02:520:02:55

out what their lives have in common.

0:02:550:02:56

Hi, Ricky.

0:02:560:02:58

Hello.

0:02:580:02:59

How are you doing?

0:02:590:03:00

Good, thanks.

0:03:000:03:01

We are about to talk, that is very exciting.

0:03:010:03:04

How excited are you guys to speak to the UK?

0:03:040:03:06

Hello, UK.

0:03:060:03:07

This is Ella.

0:03:070:03:09

Say hi to everyone.

0:03:090:03:10

Hi.

0:03:100:03:14

Will you be able to visit SKA?

0:03:140:03:17

My trip was very lovely to the SKA.

0:03:170:03:19

We learned much of the SKA.

0:03:190:03:22

They learned loads.

0:03:220:03:29

They took loads of fun pictures and stuff, it was lovely.

0:03:290:03:31

I would like to ask your question.

0:03:310:03:33

What would you like the telescopes to find?

0:03:330:03:35

Stuff that we did not know existed.

0:03:350:03:37

Gravity waves.

0:03:370:03:38

I would like to find movement in space.

0:03:380:03:40

Another planet like Earth.

0:03:400:03:42

That is what these guys want the telescope to find out.

0:03:420:03:45

I would really like the telescope to find out if there is really life

0:03:450:03:49

on Mars because they have already found out that there is water,

0:03:490:03:52

and the gravity is also similar to Earth's.

0:03:520:03:54

We have had a great time chatting to you lot from South Africa.

0:03:540:04:00

It has been brilliant but we have no more time left so goodbye,

0:04:000:04:03

Jodrell Bank.

0:04:030:04:04

Bye, Jodrell Bank.

0:04:040:04:06

And we loved listening to all those questions in England so we're

0:04:060:04:09

going to say goodbye, too.

0:04:090:04:11

See you, everyone.

0:04:110:04:12

See you, Carnarvon.

0:04:120:04:21

Next, to a music festival in Hong Kong that takes electronic

0:04:240:04:27

music to a whole new level.

0:04:270:04:28

Watch out for the flashes coming up.

0:04:280:04:33

This band, made up entirely of robots,

0:04:330:04:35

was headlining an arts festival.

0:04:350:04:36

Each instrument is automated, including the drums.

0:04:360:04:40

Finally it's Sunday and that means it's time for your weekly dose

0:04:400:04:43

of the weird and wonderful.

0:04:430:04:45

Here's Strange!

0:04:450:04:45

Strange.

0:04:450:04:46

Daredevils in Gloucestershire took part in an epic downhill race,

0:04:460:04:49

chasing the ultimate prize, cheese.

0:04:490:04:50

For hundreds of years, people have competed in the event,

0:04:500:04:54

chasing a massive double Gloucester cheese down a steep hill.

0:04:540:04:59

This year's champion, Chris Anderson, has won it a grand

0:04:590:05:03

total of 17 times, and he does not even like cheese.

0:05:030:05:05

Don't try this yourself.

0:05:050:05:08

Stranger.

0:05:080:05:13

This American wing suit pilot called the Human Arrow lived up to his name

0:05:130:05:18

this week, zooming at 120mph over the Great Wall of China.

0:05:180:05:21

Jeb Corliss attempted to hit a target that was no

0:05:210:05:23

bigger than an apple, and he did it.

0:05:230:05:25

Amazing.

0:05:250:05:26

Strangest.

0:05:260:05:29

And finally, this weird looking bus is designed to get around

0:05:290:05:32

the problem of terrible traffic in China by running straight over

0:05:320:05:35

the top of the queues of cars.

0:05:350:05:45

It is still just an idea, but the two legs act like stilts,

0:05:450:05:48

so that its passengers float above the jams.

0:05:480:05:50

I could do with something like that.

0:05:500:05:54

That's all from me.

0:05:540:05:55

Newsround's back right here tomorrow at

0:05:550:05:56

7:40.
