Good morning and welcome to Newsround - I'm Hayley,

0:00:030:00:05

live with your news this morning.

0:00:050:00:09

My dad's going to the USA to represent Team UK

0:00:090:00:11

in the Invictus Games.

0:00:110:00:13

Boom!

0:00:130:00:18

The running man challenge makes it to Scotland.

0:00:180:00:18

It's Newsround.

0:00:200:00:23

First, wildfires have continued to spread in the city

0:00:310:00:33

of Fort McMurray in the province of Alberta in Canada.

0:00:330:00:37

All 88,000 residents have had to leave their homes.

0:00:370:00:41

No-one has been hurt by the fires, but high winds have caused

0:00:410:00:44

dangerous flames which have destroyed several buildings,

0:00:440:00:47

including a school.

0:00:470:00:51

More than 500 servicemen and women are getting ready to compete

0:00:510:00:54

in the Invictus Games which start this weekend in Florida.

0:00:540:00:59

A team of 110 people are competing for the UK,

0:00:590:01:02

including former guardsman Lamin who was injured whilst

0:01:020:01:05

serving in Afghanistan.

0:01:050:01:08

He's competing in sitting volleyball and archery and is taking

0:01:080:01:11

his children along with him to the games.

0:01:110:01:13

Ricky has been to meet 12-year-old Musa to ask what he thinks

0:01:130:01:16

about his dad taking part.

0:01:160:01:19

A message.

0:01:190:01:20

Oh, from Michelle.

0:01:200:01:21

The Invictus Games already has the royal seal of approval.

0:01:210:01:25

Careful what you wish for.

0:01:250:01:28

Even the US President, Barack Obama, is ready for action.

0:01:280:01:32

Oh, really?

0:01:320:01:35

Boom!

0:01:350:01:36

The games begin on the 8th of May in Orlando in America,

0:01:360:01:39

and will see injured servicemen and women from all over the world go

0:01:390:01:42

head-to-head in a whole host of different sports.

0:01:420:01:50

Prince Harry came up with the idea of the games two years ago.

0:01:500:01:56

12-year-old Musa's dad is taking part.

0:01:570:02:00

Lamin lost both his legs and an arm during the war in Afghanistan.

0:02:000:02:04

When we were just sitting down and watching football,

0:02:040:02:06

he came in with his wheelchair running fast, and then he said,

0:02:060:02:10

I'm going to be in the Invictus Games!

0:02:100:02:12

Ha-ha!

0:02:120:02:13

How difficult is it for your dad to get around every day?

0:02:130:02:16

Life is hard for him because comic you know,

0:02:160:02:22

-- Life is hard for him because, you know, he doesn't get to do most

0:02:220:02:26

things that a father would do

0:02:260:02:27

with a son or a daughter.

0:02:270:02:29

He needs some help to travel around.

0:02:290:02:31

He should be helping the children and the wife,

0:02:310:02:33

but instead we're helping him.

0:02:330:02:34

I think he feels vulnerable.

0:02:340:02:37

Why do you think the Invictus Games are so important?

0:02:370:02:40

It's important so we can help the wounded and the hurt to know

0:02:400:02:43

that they have a meaning in this world, not just that they are hurt

0:02:430:02:47

and they can't do anything.

0:02:470:02:49

And how have you been helping your dad to

0:02:490:02:53

train for the Games?

0:02:530:02:54

In the morning, I wake him up so we can go to the gym and train.

0:02:540:02:58

First of all, we go and lift some weights so we can help him do

0:02:580:03:01

physical strength for the archery.

0:03:010:03:03

And then, after that, I take him out with his robotic legs

0:03:030:03:12

and we go for a walk round the street.

0:03:120:03:14

After that, we go inside and do some stretches.

0:03:140:03:17

So, Musa, there's one last thing for us to do, isn't there?

0:03:170:03:19

Yes.

0:03:190:03:20

Shall we wish your dad the best of luck?

0:03:200:03:23

Let's go.

0:03:230:03:24

BOTH: Good luck, Dad.

0:03:240:03:25

Boom!

0:03:250:03:30

Football now, and a disappointed Manchester City lost out on a place

0:03:300:03:33

in the Champions League finals, after losing in Madrid last night.

0:03:330:03:37

Winners Real Madrid will now face their local rivals

0:03:370:03:39

Athletico Madrid in the finals.

0:03:390:03:43

Tonight it's Liverpool's turn to try for a place in a European final.

0:03:430:03:46

They face Villareal tonight in the Europa League semifinal.

0:03:460:03:50

But they'll have to come back from a 1-0 defeat from

0:03:500:03:53

the first leg of the match.

0:03:530:03:57

The choir who beat Justin Bieber to number one in the charts have

0:03:570:04:00

set their sights on the big screen.

0:04:000:04:10

The Christmas number one single sold more that 127,000 copies

0:04:100:04:14

to raise money for charity.

0:04:140:04:17

Now the Lewisham and Greenwich NHS choir have signed a film deal.

0:04:170:04:20

The British film producer who will make the movie said

0:04:200:04:24

the choir had touched the hearts of millions of people.

0:04:240:04:27

The film will tell the story of the 32 singers.

0:04:270:04:32

Yesterday we brought you dancing police in New Zealand.

0:04:320:04:34

Well, today we bring you this from Scotland...

0:04:340:04:37

Police officers in Edinburgh have taken on the viral Running Man

0:04:430:04:46

challenge, too, with a bit of a Scottish Country Dancing twist!

0:04:460:04:48

They've challenged police in London and Canada to get THEIR groove on,

0:04:480:04:51

so watch this space.

0:04:510:04:55

That's all for now, Newsround's back right here in about half an hour.
