with all the news you need to know.

:00:00.:00:07.

A brand new space robot designed for danger.

:00:08.:00:10.

to represent Team UK in the Invictus games.

:00:11.:00:15.

First, wildfires have continued to spread in the city

:00:16.:00:29.

All 88,000 people who live there have had to leave their homes,

:00:30.:00:35.

and now the fire is being called an official emergency.

:00:36.:00:38.

No one has been hurt by the fires, but dangerous flames have

:00:39.:00:43.

destroyed buildings, including a school.

:00:44.:00:45.

Up next, meet Valkyrie, a brand-new robot that space

:00:46.:00:47.

organisation Nasa hopes could go on missions that are

:00:48.:00:51.

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

:00:52.:00:57.

You are looking through the eyes of a very humanlike robot.

:00:58.:01:01.

It is designed to work in disaster zones and even go into space,

:01:02.:01:09.

but it's just arrived here at the Edinburgh Centre For Robotics,

:01:10.:01:12.

so the programmers hree can push the boundaries of how humans

:01:13.:01:15.

This is an exciting and very compact piece of machinery.

:01:16.:01:26.

Its hardware capabilities are amazing,

:01:27.:01:30.

At the same time you need to make it do things

:01:31.:01:33.

For you and me, walking, balancing,

:01:34.:01:35.

For getting a robot to do something like that,

:01:36.:01:39.

Worth in excess of $2 million US, with 44 movable joints,

:01:40.:01:49.

scanning lasers and cameras to simulate human vision, this

:01:50.:01:52.

The team here is training the robot

:01:53.:01:58.

to enable it to work alongside human astronauts.

:01:59.:02:01.

There is now a robonaut which is a robot with

:02:02.:02:12.

just the upper torso on the ISS space station.

:02:13.:02:14.

It has not yet done any space walks outside, but I think

:02:15.:02:17.

the Valkyrie is taking that to the next generation,

:02:18.:02:19.

potentially working on the surface of Mars.

:02:20.:02:21.

Hundreds of sick and injured servicemen and women

:02:22.:02:23.

are getting ready to compete in the Invictus Games,

:02:24.:02:26.

which start this weekend in Florida in the US.

:02:27.:02:29.

One Team UK competitor is former guardsman Lamin,

:02:30.:02:32.

Ricky's been to meet his 12-year-old son Musa who is going

:02:33.:02:37.

The Invictus games already has the royal seal of approval.

:02:38.:02:46.

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

:02:47.:02:53.

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

:02:54.:03:02.

see injured servicemen and women from all over the world go head to

:03:03.:03:05.

head in a whole host of different sports.

:03:06.:03:07.

Prince Harry came up with

:03:08.:03:13.

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

:03:14.:03:21.

Lamin lost both his legs and an arm during the war

:03:22.:03:23.

When we were just sitting down and watching football,

:03:24.:03:28.

he came in with his wheelchair, came really fast, and then he said, "I'm

:03:29.:03:32.

How difficult is it for your dad to get around everyday?

:03:33.:03:39.

Life is hard for him, because you know, he

:03:40.:03:44.

doesn't get to do those things that a father

:03:45.:03:46.

Like he needs some help, he can't travel alone.

:03:47.:03:52.

He should be helping the children and

:03:53.:03:54.

the wife, but instead, we are helping him.

:03:55.:03:56.

I think he feels, like, he feels vulnerable.

:03:57.:03:58.

Why do you think the Invictus games are so important?

:03:59.:04:01.

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

:04:02.:04:04.

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

:04:05.:04:09.

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

:04:10.:04:14.

Shall we wish your dad the best of luck?

:04:15.:04:18.

Yesterday we brought you dancing police in New Zealand,

:04:19.:04:23.

Police in Edinburgh have taken on the viral

:04:24.:04:36.

running man challenge, with a Scottish

:04:37.:04:37.

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

:04:38.:04:41.

I think all the newsround presenter should take up the challenge.

:04:42.:04:50.

Check out a special Newsround done entirely in sign

:04:51.:04:54.

Hayley's here in the morning. Bye!
