Hey, everyone.

0:00:030:00:04

I'm Leah with your big stories this Friday morning.

0:00:040:00:06

Coming up.

0:00:060:00:08

More of these stunning pictures of lava falling into the ocean.

0:00:080:00:12

And the dino discovery that's massive.

0:00:120:00:15

This is Newsround.

0:00:150:00:17

But first, Hillary Clinton has officially agreed

0:00:240:00:26

to run for US President.

0:00:260:00:27

She's made history by becoming the first ever woman to be nominated

0:00:280:00:31

for the White House job by a major political party, the Democrats.

0:00:310:00:36

Hillary has promised to unite the country and improve the lives

0:00:360:00:39

of all Americans if she beats rival Donald Trump in the race to win

0:00:390:00:43

November's election.

0:00:430:00:45

The person the Americans choose will make important decisions

0:00:450:00:48

about how the US is run and how it works with other countries.

0:00:480:00:53

I accept your nomination for President of the United States.

0:00:530:00:58

CHEERING

0:00:580:01:00

Yes, the world is watching what we do.

0:01:000:01:03

Yes, America's destiny is ours to choose.

0:01:030:01:08

So let's be stronger together, my fellow Americans.

0:01:080:01:14

And you can find out more about Hillary Clinton

0:01:140:01:16

and the American Presidential election online.

0:01:160:01:20

We are exactly one week away from the official start

0:01:200:01:23

of the Rio Olympic Games in Brazil.

0:01:230:01:25

The event will see over 10,000 athletes from around 200 nations

0:01:250:01:28

come together to compete in 28 sports, including athletics,

0:01:280:01:32

swimming and even wrestling.

0:01:320:01:35

Team GB will be hoping to win loads of medals.

0:01:350:01:37

Here's the BBC's Olympic reporter Nick Hope with which British

0:01:370:01:40

stars to watch out for.

0:01:400:01:43

Hi, Newsround.

0:01:430:01:44

Yes, we're just days away from the Rio Olympics,

0:01:440:01:46

an event so big it's called the greatest show on Earth.

0:01:460:01:50

Many of the athletes have already travelled to Brazil

0:01:500:01:52

to begin their final preparations so here are my top five

0:01:520:01:55

ones to watch in Rio.

0:01:550:02:00

Teenager Amber Hill started shooting when she was just ten.

0:02:020:02:04

She has her own special pink cartridges and hopes those

0:02:040:02:07

will help her become the first British woman to win an Olympic

0:02:070:02:10

shooting gold medal.

0:02:100:02:13

Adam Peaty is a swimming sensation.

0:02:130:02:15

He's won Commonwealth, European and World gold medals over

0:02:150:02:18

the last two years and is looking to complete his set

0:02:180:02:21

with an Olympic title.

0:02:210:02:25

Britain has some of the best taekwondo fighters on the planet

0:02:250:02:28

and Bianca Walkden is a major star.

0:02:280:02:30

She won World gold in 2015 and wants more success in Rio.

0:02:300:02:36

Ellie Downie only stepped up to senior gymnastic competitions

0:02:360:02:39

last year, but has already won several major titles and will be

0:02:390:02:41

bidding for both individual and team medals.

0:02:410:02:48

Finally, Katarina Johnson-Thompson, the heptathlete, competes

0:02:480:02:50

in a incredible seven events and is amongst the favourites

0:02:500:02:54

to secure gold, but she'll be up against her teammate,

0:02:540:02:57

defending champion Jess Ennis-Hill.

0:02:570:03:02

So all five athletes will be hoping to win big for Team GB and you'll be

0:03:020:03:06

able to catch the best of the action on the Newsround website

0:03:060:03:08

throughout the Olympics.

0:03:080:03:10

Thanks, Nick.

0:03:100:03:11

It's hard to mistake this kind of dog.

0:03:110:03:13

It's a British bulldog, of course, but scientists

0:03:130:03:15

are calling for changes to the way it's bred.

0:03:150:03:17

The dogs can have health problems because for centuries they've just

0:03:170:03:21

been bred with other bulldogs.

0:03:210:03:24

Researchers in the US think that cross-breeding with other types

0:03:240:03:26

will help bulldogs survive.

0:03:260:03:31

Now to a much bigger creature.

0:03:310:03:32

One of the largest ever dinosaur footprints has been found in Bolivia

0:03:320:03:35

in South America.

0:03:350:03:36

It's more than a metre wide and is thought to have belonged

0:03:360:03:39

to a type of dinosaur called an Abelisaurus.

0:03:390:03:44

Amidst the dry and dusty hills of central Bolivia,

0:03:440:03:47

a remarkable discovery.

0:03:470:03:49

Hidden beneath rocks and boulders, a footprint preserved in time.

0:03:490:03:54

A footprint that's thought to be tens of millions of years

0:03:540:03:58

old and much larger than expected.

0:03:580:04:04

TRANSLATION: The abelisaurus were the great carnivores of the end

0:04:040:04:06

of the Cretaceous period in the southern hemisphere.

0:04:060:04:10

Footprints this large have never been reported.

0:04:100:04:12

Their normal size was around nine metres, large animals,

0:04:120:04:16

however the footprints we found were for an animal that easily

0:04:160:04:19

exceeds ten or even 12 metres.

0:04:190:04:22

The Abelisaurus was similar to the Tyrannosaurus Rex.

0:04:220:04:26

Both part of the Theropod group of dinosaurs.

0:04:260:04:31

Like the T-Rex it's believed to have lived in the late Cretaceous period,

0:04:310:04:34

somewhere around 60 to 80 million years ago.

0:04:340:04:38

Whereas its more famous cousin roamed around north America,

0:04:380:04:41

the abelisaurus could be found in south America.

0:04:410:04:44

And it was unlikely to be lonely.

0:04:440:04:48

In this area of Bolivia thousands of footprints have been discovered

0:04:480:04:50

and children are getting the chance to see replica dinosaurs.

0:04:500:04:55

80 million years ago they could have seen the real thing.

0:04:550:05:01

And if that story's left you wondering what kind

0:05:010:05:03

of dinosaur you are, well, now you can find out.

0:05:030:05:05

Head online to try our new quiz.

0:05:050:05:09

I've done the quiz and I'm a Terrandon!

0:05:090:05:11

Now this might not be millions of years old but it's

0:05:110:05:13

still pretty amazing.

0:05:130:05:17

Lava from the Kilauea volcano in Hawaii started erupting two

0:05:170:05:19

months ago and has been moving on a six-mile journey

0:05:190:05:22

towards the coast since.

0:05:220:05:25

It's now reached the Pacific Ocean and this stunning video

0:05:250:05:28

shows the hot liquid rock falling off the cliffs.

0:05:280:05:30

Officials there say that the lava isn't putting any towns at risk.

0:05:300:05:34

And finally, people in the US caught the moment the remains of an empty

0:05:340:05:38

rocket lit up the skies over Utah and California.

0:05:380:05:40

The Chinese CZ-7, which re-entered the atmosphere on Wednesday night,

0:05:400:05:45

left people stunned with many sharing photos and videos

0:05:450:05:47

of the bright object online.

0:05:470:05:51

That's all from me.

0:05:510:05:52

Newsround's back at 4:20 with Jenny.

0:05:520:05:54

Bye for now!
