Morning, guys, Ricky here with your Tuesday Newsround.

0:00:050:00:07

Coming up: The plan to help out puffins.

0:00:070:00:10

And a very unusual wedding.

0:00:100:00:15

Wimbledon has started.

0:00:230:00:24

And Andy Murray got over worries about his sore hip

0:00:240:00:27

to win his opening match.

0:00:270:00:29

The reigning champ beat Alexander Bublik in under two hours

0:00:290:00:32

and will play Germany's Dustin Brown in Round Two.

0:00:320:00:36

And it was a pretty easy day for British number one

0:00:360:00:39

Johanna Konta, who got through to the next round

0:00:390:00:41

where she'll play Donna Vekic.

0:00:410:00:44

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

0:00:440:00:46

through the turnstiles here at Wimbledon on

0:00:460:00:49

the first day alone?

0:00:490:00:50

That's a lot!

0:00:500:00:52

So we caught up with a few of them to find out what they were

0:00:520:00:55

looking forward to.

0:00:550:00:58

It's Wimbledon.

0:00:580:00:59

It's one of the biggest events in the world.

0:00:590:01:03

I'm very excited to be here at Wimbledon because I haven't

0:01:030:01:07

met many players and I've only seen them on TV.

0:01:070:01:11

It's really amazing to be here.

0:01:110:01:13

I've never been here before.

0:01:130:01:14

It's really different than I imagined in my head.

0:01:140:01:19

I like Nadal and Federer.

0:01:190:01:23

They are really good and they're really graceful

0:01:230:01:24

when they hit their shots.

0:01:240:01:26

I really, really want to see Andy Murray because he is ranked

0:01:260:01:29

number one in the world and I can't wait to see him play.

0:01:290:01:32

It's amazing because he's the person I look up to when I play tennis

0:01:320:01:36

and I just want to be like when I'm older.

0:01:360:01:38

I know I'm going to see the Nadal match on Court One.

0:01:380:01:42

I'm going to see a bit of the Venus Williams match.

0:01:420:01:47

I saw Federer over there warming up.

0:01:470:01:49

What?!

0:01:490:01:51

Everyone loves puffins.

0:01:510:01:52

But things haven't been so great for these guys lately.

0:01:520:01:55

Across the UK, their numbers are down and now there's a threat

0:01:550:01:58

they could disappear altogether.

0:01:580:02:00

Whitney has been to find out more.

0:02:000:02:03

What do we know about puffins?

0:02:050:02:06

They are small, brilliant swimmers.

0:02:060:02:09

They are often paired together for life.

0:02:090:02:12

How sweet.

0:02:120:02:13

I'm here in the very windy Ilse of Mull, as you can see by my hair,

0:02:130:02:17

to take that boat out to the island of Lunga to see some.

0:02:170:02:20

Dave, who is a bird expert in Mull, is going to help me find

0:02:200:02:23

out more about puffins.

0:02:230:02:31

It has been a long journey but we finally made it.

0:02:310:02:38

Check this out.

0:02:380:02:39

They are everywhere.

0:02:390:02:40

Take a look at this.

0:02:400:02:43

They are so cute.

0:02:430:02:45

Hello.

0:02:450:02:47

Just behind us is some beautiful birds.

0:02:470:02:50

Apart from being beautiful, what is so special about them?

0:02:500:02:53

These puffins are now in serious trouble.

0:02:530:02:55

They are on what you call the red list.

0:02:550:02:57

They could go extinct.

0:02:570:02:59

One in ten of all puffins come from the UK so we have got that

0:02:590:03:02

responsibility to look after them.

0:03:020:03:05

Elsewhere, places like Iceland and parts of northern Scotland,

0:03:050:03:07

the puffin colonies have gone and that is what we are

0:03:070:03:11

really worried about.

0:03:110:03:13

Why are they declining in other parts of the UK?

0:03:130:03:16

What we think is the biggest decline is to do with global warming

0:03:160:03:19

and climate change.

0:03:190:03:20

These birds have evolved to catch particular types of fish

0:03:200:03:26

in particular temperatures of seas and as the temperature of the sea

0:03:260:03:29

is rising those fish are moving further away and out of reach

0:03:290:03:32

of the puffins.

0:03:320:03:33

What can we do in order to protect these puffins?

0:03:330:03:35

The RSPB has launched Project Puffin and it is trying to get people

0:03:350:03:38

to take photographs of the puffins as they come in with

0:03:380:03:41

the fish that they catch.

0:03:410:03:42

They catch things like sand eels.

0:03:420:03:44

With that we can work out why there is a problem in other

0:03:440:03:47

parts of their range.

0:03:470:03:48

Why do you love them so much?

0:03:480:03:50

They are just fantastic little characters, aren't they?

0:03:500:03:52

Just the fact that they look so happy and secure

0:03:520:03:55

and yet we know deep down now that they are in trouble.

0:03:550:03:58

We could really help this bird and keep it looking bright

0:03:580:04:03

and cheerful and happy and go on enjoying it for years to come.

0:04:030:04:06

I think it is time to leave these funny and beautiful birds

0:04:060:04:10

in peace but honestly, despite the weather, I could sit

0:04:100:04:12

here and watch them all day.

0:04:120:04:16

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

0:04:160:04:19

for what he's put on social media.

0:04:190:04:21

Watch this.

0:04:210:04:25

Believe it or not, this is Donald Trump.

0:04:250:04:30

The US President has put this video on social media.

0:04:300:04:34

It's an old clip of him appearing on a wrestling TV show but with CNN

0:04:340:04:38

over the face of his opponent.

0:04:380:04:42

CNN is a news organisation in America that he has been

0:04:420:04:45

in a long argument with.

0:04:450:04:48

Fake News, CNN, fake.

0:04:480:04:52

He calls them fake news and says they make up

0:04:520:04:56

false stories about him.

0:04:560:04:57

Loads of people, including some in his own party,

0:04:570:05:01

say this sort of thing is really bad behaviour for a President

0:05:010:05:04

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

0:05:040:05:07

jokes and they really like his style.

0:05:070:05:09

Donald Trump just says he is being a modern President

0:05:090:05:12

by using social media in this way.

0:05:120:05:22

In Mexico, where this happened over the weekend.

0:05:220:05:24

The mayor of San Pedro Huamelula married a crocodile.

0:05:240:05:26

Now, this is a tradition that dates back hundreds of years.

0:05:260:05:29

It's part of a festival to celebrate the town's patron saint.

0:05:290:05:32

The reptile bride, dressed in white with a flower crown on its head,

0:05:320:05:37

is taken around the town to music before the ceremony takes place.

0:05:370:05:41

I hope there were no crocodile tears.

0:05:410:05:44

That's all from me.

0:05:440:05:48
