I'm Leah, it's Friday - the best day of the week - | :00:00. | :00:09. | |
The weather ends Lindsey's Sport Relief zorb challenge. | :00:10. | :00:14. | |
And stick around for some Eurovision fun. | :00:15. | :00:25. | |
First this morning we've been following Lindsey from Blue Peter's | :00:26. | :00:27. | |
challenge to zorb across the sea from Northern Ireland to Scotland | :00:28. | :00:30. | |
Unfortunately weather conditions yesterday forced her to stop. | :00:31. | :00:35. | |
She sent Newsround this message once she made it to dry land. | :00:36. | :00:41. | |
Hey Newsround, how are you doing, I just wanted to say a little hello, | :00:42. | :00:44. | |
I finished my challenge today, we had a really good go at it. | :00:45. | :00:48. | |
Unfortunately I didn't make it all the way to Scotland from Ireland | :00:49. | :00:51. | |
when I was crossing, but I did go a really long way, | :00:52. | :00:54. | |
I did 17 nautical miles in the end which | :00:55. | :00:58. | |
was pretty gruelling, pretty tiring, I ate so much flapjack | :00:59. | :01:01. | |
and chocolate, you would not believe. | :01:02. | :01:04. | |
But we gave it a really, really good go but we | :01:05. | :01:08. | |
But I just wanted to let you know that I'm | :01:09. | :01:13. | |
rested and healthy and happy, and the Blue Peter crew | :01:14. | :01:18. | |
were all here supporting me, I just ate a massive bowl of pasta | :01:19. | :01:21. | |
Thank you for all the support throughout this incredible | :01:22. | :01:24. | |
If it inspires you to do anything, hopefully it's to get involved this | :01:25. | :01:29. | |
To football now and all three English clubs in action last night | :01:30. | :01:36. | |
have made it through to the last 16 of the Europa Cup | :01:37. | :01:39. | |
Liverpool won 1-0 against German side FC Augsburg | :01:40. | :01:43. | |
Tottenham won 3-0 against Italian side Fiorentina. | :01:44. | :01:49. | |
And Manchester United beat the Danish champions | :01:50. | :01:51. | |
18 year old Marcus Rashford scored twice on his debut for United. | :01:52. | :02:00. | |
The spirit was so high in this match, and then we score | :02:01. | :02:05. | |
the equaliser, and then a penalty, we missed the penalty, | :02:06. | :02:09. | |
and then still we continued with attacking | :02:10. | :02:16. | |
football and with the spirit to win, and that is not so easy. | :02:17. | :02:25. | |
The UK's entry for the annual Eurovision Song Contest | :02:26. | :02:27. | |
Six acts competing to represent Britain will be | :02:28. | :02:33. | |
The last time we came first in the contest was 19 years ago - | :02:34. | :02:39. | |
so why does the UK never ever seem to win? | :02:40. | :02:42. | |
43 countries, millions of dreams, one chance to have the best song in | :02:43. | :02:58. | |
Europe. So when have we actually won? 1967, Sandie Shaw became the | :02:59. | :03:05. | |
first winner from the UK with her hit. Lulu joined Spain, the | :03:06. | :03:15. | |
Netherlands and France in first place with her hit in 1969. 1976, | :03:16. | :03:27. | |
brotherhood of Man with a first band from the UK to win with their | :03:28. | :03:34. | |
single. The band Bucks fizz who formed specifically for Eurovision | :03:35. | :03:38. | |
sang their way to first place with their hit in 1981. And in 1997, | :03:39. | :03:51. | |
Katrina and the Waves were the first Eurovision winning entry for 16 | :03:52. | :03:55. | |
years. Five times is actually quite good but since 1997, the UK has done | :03:56. | :04:02. | |
pretty badly, so why haven't we been successful recently? Lately, the | :04:03. | :04:06. | |
winner has always had an up yet, up-tempo song or a downbeat pallet | :04:07. | :04:12. | |
like Conchita a few years ago. Also there is more, edition now, with | :04:13. | :04:17. | |
more countries in the Europe issue and song contest, plus a lot of | :04:18. | :04:21. | |
people say that people only vote for their neighbours and our only real | :04:22. | :04:24. | |
neighbours are islands so we are always outnumbered. The commission | :04:25. | :04:30. | |
takes place this year in Stockholm, what or how a I think the UK has a | :04:31. | :04:36. | |
really good chance to see, better than in recent years because the | :04:37. | :04:38. | |
voting system has changed. The British public have a say on who we | :04:39. | :04:44. | |
want to represent the UK in the Eurovision Song contest. | :04:45. | :04:46. | |
That's all from me for now I'll be back with more of the day's top | :04:47. | :04:49. | |
