Whitney here with your big Monday stories, live on CBBC.

:00:12.:00:16.

Now the big, exciting, sporting news today is the start of Wimbledon,

:00:17.:00:19.

The reigning champ, Andy Murray, kicked things off at lunchtime,

:00:20.:00:25.

Murray had a sore hip but seems to be playing OK.

:00:26.:00:30.

Laura Robson was the first Brit to lose earlier on, and British

:00:31.:00:34.

ladies number one Johanna Konta, and French Open Champion Rafael

:00:35.:00:38.

We've been hearing from some tennis fans about what they're

:00:39.:00:43.

It is Wimbledon. It is one of the biggest events in the world. I am

:00:44.:01:00.

very excited to be here at Wimbledon because I have not met any person, I

:01:01.:01:06.

have only seen them on the TV and it is amazing to see it here. I have

:01:07.:01:11.

never been here before and it is really different than I imagined in

:01:12.:01:16.

my head. I like Rafa Nadal and Roger Federer and they are really good and

:01:17.:01:19.

they are graceful when they hit their shots. I really want to see

:01:20.:01:23.

Andy Murray because he is number one in the world and I can't wait to see

:01:24.:01:28.

him play. It is amazing because he is the person when I look up to when

:01:29.:01:31.

I play tennis and I just want to be like him when I am older. I am going

:01:32.:01:36.

to see the Rafa Nadal match on Court one and I am going to see a bit of

:01:37.:01:40.

the Venus Williams match. Isil Roger Federer over their warming up. What?

:01:41.:01:45.

So that's what the fans are looking forward to.

:01:46.:01:48.

Now, did you know that nearly 40,000 tennis fans walk

:01:49.:01:50.

through the turnstiles here at Wimbledon on

:01:51.:01:51.

So this year at Wimbledon there will be 674 matches played.

:01:52.:01:59.

And if one match was played a day, it would last for over two years.

:02:00.:02:06.

Over 54,000 tennis balls will be used during the tournament.

:02:07.:02:13.

The longest ever match at Wimbledon was in 2010.

:02:14.:02:19.

It lasted 11 hours and five minutes, over three days.

:02:20.:02:22.

And as a treat the players were given mashed potatoes

:02:23.:02:28.

The fastest-ever serve was by Taylor Dent in 2010

:02:29.:02:37.

That's double the speed limit for a motorway so,

:02:38.:02:42.

as you can imagine, that's really fast.

:02:43.:02:44.

At Wimbledon, it's tradition to eat strawberries and cream, and over

:02:45.:02:47.

the two-week period over 28,000kg will be eaten.

:02:48.:02:50.

That's the same weight of nearly three elephants.

:02:51.:02:58.

Wimbledon has its very own hawk, called Rufus,

:02:59.:03:01.

who flies for one hour every morning of the Championships

:03:02.:03:05.

Mr Popular even has his own Twitter account.

:03:06.:03:10.

Love a bit of Wimbledon. Wish I was there.

:03:11.:03:26.

Next up, on to US President Donald Trump, who is being criticised again

:03:27.:03:29.

Believe it or not, this is Donald Trump.

:03:30.:03:34.

The US president has put this video on social media.

:03:35.:03:36.

It's an old clip of him appearing on a wrestling TV show,

:03:37.:03:39.

but with CNN over the face of his opponent.

:03:40.:03:41.

Now, CNN is a news organisation in America that he has been

:03:42.:03:44.

He calls them "fake news" and they make up

:03:45.:03:53.

Loads of people, including some of his own party,

:03:54.:03:58.

said this sort of thing is really bad behaviour for a president,

:03:59.:04:01.

and he shouldn't be doing it, but his supporters say they are just

:04:02.:04:04.

jokes and they really like his style.

:04:05.:04:06.

Donald Trump says he is just being a modern president

:04:07.:04:08.

As you may know, Popocatepetl is a big volcano in Mexico,

:04:09.:04:23.

The ash cloud blew up 2,000 metres above the crater.

:04:24.:04:29.

There are more than 3,000 volcanos in Mexico, but only 14

:04:30.:04:32.
