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. | |
