Happy Friday!

I'm Jenny, and don't go anywhere, because we've got all the top

stories from around the world, live on CBBC.

Coming up:

We meet the UK's Eurovision Song Contest contenders.

And the wildfires that continue to rage in Canada.

First, this weekend wildlife legend Sir David Attenborough

will celebrate his 90th birthday.

He's travelled across the world, witnessed the birth of new species

and captured the nation with his TV programmes.

One person he's hugely inspired is CBBC's very own Steve Backshall,

who sent us this message for his idol.

My earliest memories of Sir David Attenborough

were watching his Zoo Quest series, which were quite a long time ago

now, and they were real expeditions.

I think they were my first time that I got to see unbelievable adventures

like that in really exotic places, and I instantly thought,

that is amazing.

That's what I want to do with my life.

Hello!

There have been so many favourite moments.

It is very difficult to choose any one.

But he has completely transformed my view

of the wild world.

These engaging chicks are so inquisitive that you only

have to sit down to their own level for them all to gather around

you to try and discover what sort of creature you are.

I think perhaps my very favourite would be a moment when he

was in South Georgia on the edge of Antarctica,

and he was in front of two wandering albatross as they sat on their nest,

going through this extraordinary ritual, this beautiful dance,

as they were essentially reaffirming their bonds,

having been apart for a year or perhaps more.

And now, that has even more significance to me, because I have

had the chance to go back there, to Bird Island, to that exact same

spot, and to sit, as Sir David did, behind two birds going through this

same unbelievable dance.

They will stay together for the rest of their lives.

And that, when you come to think of it, is very unusual.

So Sir David, I hope you have a wonderful birthday,

and I hope that there are many more years of your superb,

scintillating programmes.

I, for one, am definitely going to be watching.

Next, people are having to move again to escape the wildfires

in Canada.

Thousands of people had to leave their homes

when the fires started at the beginning of this week.

The flames are still burning strongly, and there are worries

people could get trapped by the fires if they

don't move again.

And in footie, Liverpool fans get excited -

you're in the Europa League final!

Trailing Villarreal 1-0 from the first leg,

Liverpool came back to win 3-0 on the night.

Goals from Daniel Sturridge and Adam Lallana steered

the team to victory, following an own-goal

early in the match.

Tennis now, and Andy Murray has reached the quarterfinals

of the Madrid Open, beating Frenchman Gilles Simon

in straight sets, 6-4 and 6-2.

The defending champ and Britain's number one will now play

Tomas Berdych in the last eight.

There's just over a week to go until the Eurovision Song Contest

final takes place in Sweden.

This year the UK will be represented by Joe and Jake

with their song You're Not Alone.

We sent Hayley to find out how they're getting on.

Joe and Jake!

Congratulations, Joe and Jake, you are the people's choice.

You're off to Stockholm to represent the United Kingdom at

the Eurovision Song Contest.

Tell me about this magic musical duo.

How did it all begin?

We met on series four of The Voice.

Things just kicked off very easily, you know, we became friends pretty

much straight from the off, because we found similarities

in quite a few things.

Once the show was over, for both of us, then we started

meeting up as friends, and then we just thought, why don't

we work on things musically?

And then we decided to form a duo, and 12 months later we are here.

# I'll be your parachute...#

In May, you are about to take over the world

at the Eurovision Song Contest.

How are you feeling about that?

It's not long now.

It's not long at all.

We are excited.

We're obviously nervous, but we are really excited.

We signed up this and we are so proud to be representing the UK.

Just can't wait to go out there, sing our song to an audience

of 200 million people. sing our song to an audience

No pressure at all! sing our song to an audience

It is going to be amazing. sing our song to an audience

Eurovision you travel, like, all around the world,

you perform your song, and you really mix with the fans.

And obviously, that is an experienced in itself -

how dedicated everyone is to the Eurovision Song Contest,

and how massive it is in some is to the Eurovision Song Contest,

countries' cultures. is to the Eurovision Song Contest,

Have you got any tips for people who are looking

at you and aspiring to be like you?

Definitely - just never to give up.

I mean, if you've got a dream, nothing is impossible, is it?

So you know, when me and Jake were 13, 14,

if someone would have told us that wewere in the position

we are in now, we probably would have been like,

no, we wouldn't be!

It's just a case of keep working hard.

If you want something enough, you've just got to

work for it, and one day you'll get there.

Say Eurovision!

Eurovision!

Oh, that's brilliant!

If that's just not enough Eurovision for you, head online,

where you can find out all about the competition itself,

and watch every one of the UK's past winning songs.

Enjoy!

Next, as more of us head to the hills for summer walks,

National Parks, like the Peak District, are finding it

more difficult to look after all the paths.

Now a crowdfunding campaign has started, asking for people to give

some money to help repair the paths and stop more damage.

What we see here is a really good example of some of the issues that

can cause path erosion.

So on the left, there's a corner here, so people have obviously

tried to cut it off, and that's formed a path there.

We've also got this other path here.

With more and more paths, eventually the whole hill could

end up kind of washing away.

That's all from the team this morning, but Newsround's back

right here at 4:20pm.
