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

:00:00.:00:00.

The running man challenge makes it to Scotland.

:00:00.:00:12.

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

:00:13.:00:18.

First, wildfires have continued to spread in the city

:00:19.:00:35.

of Fort McMurray in the province of Alberta in Canada.

:00:36.:00:37.

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

:00:38.:00:40.

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

:00:41.:00:43.

dangerous flames which have destroyed several buildings,

:00:44.:00:45.

Next, meet Valkyrie, a brand new robot that space

:00:46.:00:54.

organisation NASA want to turn into an astronaut.

:00:55.:00:57.

It's hoped the robot could go on missions that are too

:00:58.:01:00.

The BBC's Victoria Gill's been to see it in action.

:01:01.:01:11.

You are looking through the eyes of a very human like robot. This is the

:01:12.:01:20.

six foot human like robot which is designed to work in disaster zones

:01:21.:01:26.

and go into space. Programmers here in Edinburgh are going to push the

:01:27.:01:29.

boundaries of how humans and robots work together. This is an exciting

:01:30.:01:41.

and very complex piece of machinery. You need to make it do the things we

:01:42.:01:49.

take for granted. Walking, balancing, it comes to us naturally.

:01:50.:01:53.

Getting a robot to do that takes a lot of effort. With more than 2

:01:54.:02:02.

million US dollars with 44 movable joints, scanning lasers and cameras

:02:03.:02:08.

for vision, this is the most advanced humanoid robot. The team is

:02:09.:02:12.

training the robot to work alongside human astronauts. Robots in space is

:02:13.:02:22.

not a new thing. There is a robot on the space station. It has not yet

:02:23.:02:29.

done and in space walks outside. Our robot is taking that to the next

:02:30.:02:33.

generation, possibly working on the surface of Mars.

:02:34.:02:35.

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

:02:36.:02:38.

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

:02:39.:02:41.

Winners Real Madrid will now face their local rivals

:02:42.:02:43.

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

:02:44.:02:48.

They face Villareal tonight in the Europa League semifinal.

:02:49.:02:52.

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

:02:53.:02:55.

More than 500 servicemen and women are getting ready to compete

:02:56.:03:03.

in the Invictus Games which start this weekend in Florida.

:03:04.:03:06.

A team of 110 people are competing for the UK,

:03:07.:03:11.

including former guardsman Lamin who was injured whilst

:03:12.:03:15.

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

:03:16.:03:20.

his children along with him to the games.

:03:21.:03:22.

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

:03:23.:03:25.

The Invictus Games already has the royal seal of approval.

:03:26.:03:37.

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

:03:38.:03:41.

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

:03:42.:03:49.

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

:03:50.:03:52.

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

:03:53.:04:00.

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

:04:01.:04:07.

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

:04:08.:04:10.

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

:04:11.:04:14.

When we were just sitting down and watching football,

:04:15.:04:16.

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

:04:17.:04:19.

I'm going to be in the Invictus Games!

:04:20.:04:22.

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

:04:23.:04:27.

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

:04:28.:04:30.

things that a father would do

:04:31.:04:32.

He should be helping the children and the wife,

:04:33.:04:41.

Why do you think the Invictus Games are so important?

:04:42.:04:50.

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

:04:51.:04:53.

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

:04:54.:04:56.

And how have you been helping your dad to

:04:57.:05:04.

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

:05:05.:05:10.

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

:05:11.:05:12.

Shall we wish your dad the best of luck?

:05:13.:05:16.

:05:29.:05:30.

Yesterday we brought you dancing police in New Zealand,

:05:31.:05:33.

well today we bring you this from Scotland.

:05:34.:05:35.

Police officers in Edinburgh have taken on the viral

:05:36.:05:38.

running man challenge too, with a bit of a Scottish

:05:39.:05:40.

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

:05:41.:05:46.

That's all from me but come back after school for more.
