0:00:01 > 0:00:05See ya!

0:00:05 > 0:00:06Happy Friday!

0:00:06 > 0:00:09I'm Jenny, with all the top stories from around the world, live on CBBC.

0:00:09 > 0:00:11Keep watching -

0:00:11 > 0:00:18we meet the UK's Eurovision Song Contest singers.

0:00:18 > 0:00:18And Andy Murray cruises in to the quarterfinals

0:00:18 > 0:00:23of the Madrid Open.

0:00:28 > 0:00:33First, this weekend wildlife legend Sir David Attenborough

0:00:33 > 0:00:34will celebrate his 90th birthday.

0:00:34 > 0:00:37He's travelled across the world, witnessed the birth of new species

0:00:37 > 0:00:40and captured the nation with his tv programmes.

0:00:40 > 0:00:43One person he's hugely inspired is CBBC's very own Steve Backshall,

0:00:43 > 0:00:48who sent us this message for his idol.

0:00:48 > 0:00:53My earliest memories of Sir David Attenborough

0:00:53 > 0:00:57were watching his Zoo Quest series, which were quite a long time ago

0:00:57 > 0:01:01now, and they were real expeditions.

0:01:01 > 0:01:07I think they were my first time that I got to see unbelievable adventures

0:01:07 > 0:01:07like that in really exotic places, and I instantly thought,

0:01:07 > 0:01:07that is amazing.

0:01:07 > 0:01:11That is what I want to do with my life.

0:01:11 > 0:01:12Hello!

0:01:12 > 0:01:17There have been so many favourite moments.

0:01:17 > 0:01:17It is very difficult to choose any one.

0:01:17 > 0:01:18But he has completely transformed my view

0:01:18 > 0:01:21of the wild world.

0:01:21 > 0:01:23These engaging chicks are so inquisitive that you only

0:01:23 > 0:01:27have to sit down to their own level for them all to gather around

0:01:27 > 0:01:32you to try and discover what sort of creature you are.

0:01:32 > 0:01:35I think perhaps my very favourite would be a moment when he

0:01:35 > 0:01:38was in South Georgia on the edge of Antarctica,

0:01:38 > 0:01:45and he was in front of two wandering albatross as they sat on their nest,

0:01:45 > 0:01:46going through this extraordinary ritual, this beautiful dance,

0:01:46 > 0:01:49as they were essentially reaffirming their bonds,

0:01:49 > 0:01:52having been apart for a year or perhaps more.

0:01:52 > 0:01:59And now, that is even more significance to me, because I have

0:01:59 > 0:02:00had the chance to go back there, to Bird Island, to that exact same

0:02:00 > 0:02:04spot, and to sit, as Sir David did, behind two birds going through this

0:02:04 > 0:02:06same unbelievable dance.

0:02:06 > 0:02:09They will stay together for the rest of their lives.

0:02:09 > 0:02:13And that, when you come to think of it, is very unusual.

0:02:13 > 0:02:18So Sir David Attenborough, you have a wonderful birthday,

0:02:18 > 0:02:21and I hope that there are many more years of your superb,

0:02:21 > 0:02:22scintillating programmes.

0:02:22 > 0:02:32I, for one, am definitely going to be watching.

0:02:32 > 0:02:32Next, people are having to move again to escape

0:02:32 > 0:02:33the wildfires in Canada.

0:02:33 > 0:02:35Thousands of people had to leave their homes

0:02:35 > 0:02:36when the fires started.

0:02:36 > 0:02:38With the flames still burning strongly, there are worries people

0:02:38 > 0:02:41could get trapped by the fires if they don't move again.

0:02:41 > 0:02:44There are less than two weeks to go until the Eurovision Song Contest

0:02:44 > 0:02:48takes place in Sweden.

0:02:48 > 0:02:48This year the UK will be represented by Joe and Jake

0:02:48 > 0:02:50with their song You're Not Alone.

0:02:50 > 0:02:54We sent Hayley to find out how they're getting on.

0:02:54 > 0:02:57Joe and Jake!

0:02:57 > 0:03:04Congratulations, Joe and Jake, you are the people's choice.

0:03:04 > 0:03:06You're off to Stockholm to represent the United Kingdom at

0:03:06 > 0:03:09the Eurovision Song Contest.

0:03:09 > 0:03:10Tell me about this magic musical duo.

0:03:10 > 0:03:15How did it all begin?

0:03:15 > 0:03:15We met on series four of The Voice.

0:03:15 > 0:03:18Things just kicked off very easily, you know, we became friends pretty

0:03:18 > 0:03:20much straight from the off, because we found similarities

0:03:20 > 0:03:21in quite a few things.

0:03:21 > 0:03:24Once the show was over, for both of us, then we started

0:03:24 > 0:03:29meeting up as friends, and then we just thought, why don't

0:03:29 > 0:03:29we work on things musically?

0:03:29 > 0:03:33And then we decided to form a duo, and 12 months later we are here.

0:03:33 > 0:03:34# I'll be your parachute...#

0:03:34 > 0:03:37In May, you are about to take over the world

0:03:37 > 0:03:41at the Eurovision Song Contest.

0:03:41 > 0:03:42How are you feeling about that?

0:03:42 > 0:03:42It's not long now.

0:03:42 > 0:03:42It's not long at all.

0:03:42 > 0:03:43We are excited.

0:03:43 > 0:03:45We're obviously nervous, but we are really excited.

0:03:45 > 0:03:48We signed up this and we are so proud to be representing the UK.

0:03:48 > 0:03:51Just can't wait to go out there, sing our song to an audience

0:03:51 > 0:03:53of 200 million people.

0:03:53 > 0:03:57No pressure at all!

0:03:57 > 0:03:57It is going to be amazing.

0:03:57 > 0:03:57Eurovision you travel, like, all around the world,

0:03:57 > 0:04:01you perform the song, and you really mix with thefans.

0:04:01 > 0:04:05And obviously, that is an experienced in itself -

0:04:05 > 0:04:08just kind of seeing how dedicated everyone is to the Eurovision

0:04:08 > 0:04:12Song Contest, and how massive it is in some

0:04:12 > 0:04:12countries' cultures.

0:04:12 > 0:04:14Have you got any tips for people who are looking

0:04:14 > 0:04:16at you and aspiring to be like you?

0:04:16 > 0:04:17Definitely - just never to give up.

0:04:17 > 0:04:24I mean, ifyou've got a dream, nothing is impossible, is it?

0:04:24 > 0:04:27So you know, when me and Jake were 13, 14,

0:04:27 > 0:04:29if someone would have told us that wewere in the position

0:04:29 > 0:04:31we are in now,we probably would have been like,

0:04:31 > 0:04:32no, we wouldn't be!

0:04:32 > 0:04:34It's just a case of keep working hard.

0:04:34 > 0:04:36If you want something enough, you've just got to
