0:00:16 > 0:00:19the first stage of the Tour de France in Dusseldorf, in Germany.

0:00:19 > 0:00:21Watch out for the flashes.

0:00:21 > 0:00:23The Team Sky rider clocked 16 minutes four seconds,

0:00:23 > 0:00:24to take the yellow jersey.

0:00:24 > 0:00:29Geraint said it was a childhood dream.

0:00:29 > 0:00:31Last night's explosive episode of Doctor Who

0:00:31 > 0:00:34wasn't just the end of the series, it was also the end

0:00:34 > 0:00:36of Peter Capaldi's time as the 12th Doctor.

0:00:36 > 0:00:40There are hints that the next Doctor could be a woman so who do

0:00:40 > 0:00:43you think it should be?

0:00:43 > 0:00:45Head to Newsround online to tell us who and why!

0:00:45 > 0:00:47Tennis championship Wimbledon starts tomorrow.

0:00:47 > 0:00:49George and Charlotte's mum, The Duchess of Cambridge,

0:00:49 > 0:00:52will also start her new role as Patron of the Tennis Club.

0:00:52 > 0:01:00She's been talking about her first memories of Wimbledon.

0:01:00 > 0:01:03The first chance of going was queueing up on I think

0:01:03 > 0:01:05it was People's Sunday or People's Monday, I think,

0:01:05 > 0:01:07and being able to go into Wimbledon.

0:01:07 > 0:01:09Be part of what is an amazing event, whether you're sitting

0:01:09 > 0:01:12on Henman Hill or being fortunate enough to be in, and just

0:01:12 > 0:01:13wander around the courts.

0:01:13 > 0:01:17It's hugely special.

0:01:17 > 0:01:19I was pretty fortunate that I managed to get to see some.

0:01:19 > 0:01:22Now to the school kids in Australia, who are helping

0:01:22 > 0:01:24to save rare earless dragons.

0:01:25 > 0:01:29Getting up close with dragons at school.

0:01:29 > 0:01:32While these little creatures definitely don't breathe fire, they

0:01:32 > 0:01:36are one of the world's rarest reptiles.

0:01:36 > 0:01:40And this is what an earless dragon looks like.

0:01:42 > 0:01:46Everybody in Australia knows who Kim Kardashian is.

0:01:46 > 0:01:48But I don't think there's many people that recognise a

0:01:48 > 0:01:50grassland earless dragon.

0:01:50 > 0:01:52These guys are critically endangered because of

0:01:52 > 0:01:53things like farming and overdevelopment,

0:01:53 > 0:01:59which has destroyed a lot of their habitat in Australia.

0:01:59 > 0:02:01That's why researchers have asked to schoolkids to make life-size

0:02:01 > 0:02:03models of the lizards, which will be put

0:02:03 > 0:02:08out into dragon habitats.

0:02:08 > 0:02:10Then they'll be monitored to see which

0:02:10 > 0:02:11predators eat them.

0:02:11 > 0:02:13The models are made from clay, so any attacks made

0:02:13 > 0:02:17on the models we should be able to see.

0:02:17 > 0:02:19Indents, bends in the models will be an indication that they were

0:02:19 > 0:02:21attacked by a predator.

0:02:21 > 0:02:24Researchers say the study will figure out the

0:02:24 > 0:02:28safest places for earless dragons to live, so they can start to

0:02:28 > 0:02:31rebuild the population of these incredible creatures.

0:02:37 > 0:02:37They

0:02:37 > 0:02:37They are

0:02:37 > 0:02:38They are so

0:02:38 > 0:02:40They are so cute!

0:02:40 > 0:02:42Finally, it's been an exciting time for people living

0:02:42 > 0:02:43in Olten, in Switzerland

0:02:43 > 0:02:45because the World Office Chair Championships have

0:02:45 > 0:02:46been taking place there.

0:02:46 > 0:02:48Adults compete in crash helmets and knee pads,

0:02:48 > 0:02:50some in fancy dress, to be crowned champion

0:02:50 > 0:02:51and win about ?300.

0:02:51 > 0:02:52Obviously not one to try at home.
