Line	From	To
I'm Leah and you're live with Friday's Newsround.	:00:00.	:00:00.
Should big museums charge for some exhibits? You tell us!	:00:00.	:00:12.
And - the bears making waves at the beach.	:00:13.	:00:24.
First, the big day has finally arrived.	:00:25.	:00:26.
Today, the Olympics in Rio De Janiero will begin	:00:27.	:00:28.
with a massive opening ceremony and Ricky has made the trip	:00:29.	:00:31.
to South America and will be covering all the action for us.	:00:32.	:00:39.
The venues are waiting. And the athletes?	:00:40.	:01:05.
You know, I go out there, and I just stay very within myself.	:01:06.	:01:10.
Quite reserved and just do what I know I can do.	:01:11.	:01:16.
We believe we can go out there and get a medal.	:01:17.	:01:19.
And we'll do our best to go out there and do that.	:01:20.	:01:21.
I'm excited about it. We've got a great group around us.	:01:22.	:01:25.
And all the teams, the women's, the men's, sprint, row,	:01:26.	:01:27.
BMX, we've got a pretty strong team, I think!	:01:28.	:01:32.
For me, being able to do that dive now is taking so much	:01:33.	:01:35.
I think my dives are now across-the-board strong enough	:01:36.	:01:38.
to get me a gold medal in the Olympic Games.	:01:39.	:01:41.
For me, I want to run for medals and run for history.	:01:42.	:01:46.
And Newsround is ready too. Here we are at Olympic Park in Rio.	:01:47.	:01:49.
Tonight, the opening ceremony of the Olympic Games 2016 will take	:01:50.	:01:52.
We don't know what exactly is going to happen during	:01:53.	:01:59.
the opening ceremony because a lot of information	:02:00.	:02:01.
But we can expect a lot of music and dancing and fireworks.	:02:02.	:02:08.
Team GB are expecting to win lots of medals right	:02:09.	:02:10.
During the London 2012 games, they won a total of 65 medals.	:02:11.	:02:15.
Can they better that here in Rio? Fingers crossed!	:02:16.	:02:20.
And it's going to be a big moment for British tennis star andy Murray	:02:21.	:02:24.
who'll be leading out Team GB as Great Britain's flag bearer	:02:25.	:02:27.
Luckily, he's been getting in some practice.	:02:28.	:02:36.
Take a look... Just raise the flag up between the two... That set!	:02:37.	:02:52.
LAUGHTER Andy, that's good! He says it is a role he feels proud	:02:53.	:02:54.
of. The chance to lead out your country	:02:55.	:03:02.
in an Olympic Games, I'm very, very proud, so,	:03:03.	:03:07.
hopefully I do a good job of it! Over the summer holidays,	:03:08.	:03:14.
lots of you will probably be taking But one of the country's most	:03:15.	:03:16.
popular, The Science Museum in London, says it's planning	:03:17.	:03:20.
to charge money to go It's summer - and here	:03:21.	:03:23.
at the Science Museum in London, lots of kids have come	:03:24.	:03:27.
with their families to see It's free to come here	:03:28.	:03:29.
to see most things. But the museum are giving one	:03:30.	:03:32.
of the most popular interactive And they say they'll be charging	:03:33.	:03:35.
people to come and visit it National museums in England,	:03:36.	:03:39.
Wales and Scotland are free to visit, but they can still charge	:03:40.	:03:47.
for some special displays. But what do kids here think	:03:48.	:03:49.
about the new charge? Folk on tight budgets may not be	:03:50.	:03:53.
able to experience everything. They need the money	:03:54.	:03:59.
to keep the museums going. If it's really good, you feel good	:04:00.	:04:03.
about it, that you paid the money. But if it's really bad,	:04:04.	:04:06.
you feel like they ripped you off. If they didn't, they wouldn't have	:04:07.	:04:09.
enough money to improve the museum. I don't think it's fair that parents	:04:10.	:04:12.
have to fork out when some can't. The new exhibit, Wonderlab,	:04:13.	:04:21.
is still being built at the moment - I spoke to Natalie, who's	:04:22.	:04:24.
in charge of it. Why did you not feel you could make	:04:25.	:04:28.
an example and not charge families? Why did you not just say,	:04:29.	:04:31.
look, we've got this to show off It costs a lot of money to run	:04:32.	:04:35.
an interactive gallery like this and the ticket charge	:04:36.	:04:39.
goes towards running it. For a family of four people,	:04:40.	:04:44.
it could cost up to ?30. How do you feel about families	:04:45.	:04:48.
who cannot afford it? So, we will be having initiatives	:04:49.	:04:50.
to get those families to come to this gallery,	:04:51.	:04:53.
if they find that We're doubling the number	:04:54.	:04:55.
of schoolchildren who will visit this gallery.	:04:56.	:04:58.
They will visit for free. We will be working with schools	:04:59.	:05:00.
directly, and pupils who perhaps might not have been able to come	:05:01.	:05:04.
can get tickets. And we have other	:05:05.	:05:08.
initiatives as well. The new exhibit has cost the science	:05:09.	:05:14.
museum around ?6 million to complete but when it open in just two months	:05:15.	:05:17.
it will be the visitors who'll judge And finally - what's the last thing	:05:18.	:05:21.
you'd expect see at the seaside? How about a family of bears enjoying	:05:22.	:05:29.
a splash around at the beach. This video filmed on a mobile shows	:05:30.	:05:32.
a fully grown bear and her two cubs splashing around at Pope Beach	:05:33.	:05:36.
in California earlier this week. They were completely unfazed	:05:37.	:05:38.
by people nearby - before heading off	:05:39.	:05:40.
back into the woods. That's all from me, Newsround's live	:05:41.	:05:48.
in Rio this afternoon with Ricky.	:05:49.	:05:54.
