Hi, I'm Hayley with your Newsround update.

Two men's lucky escape from a falling tower.

And the video game that's celebrating its 30th birthday.

First to the amazing story of the veteran who didn't want to

miss out on yesterday's D-Day celebration so decided to go

90-year-old Bernard Jordan caused some worry when he went missing from

his carehome but has just returned home from his secret trip to France.

He decided to go it alone when couldn't get a place

The celebrations were commemorate the day, 70 years ago, when British

Forces landed in France to fight Hitler's army during World War Two.

It was the biggest seaborne invasion in history.

A massive military force set out from the UK towards France.

Thousands of British soldiers landed on the beaches of Normandy

and started to break through the German army's defences.

One of those soldiers was Bernard Jordan.

He was a young officer in the navy who crossed the English Channel to

fight on the beaches of Normandy and kick the Germans out of France.

At 90 years old, he lives in a care home in the south of England.

He was desperate to join his collegues, but when he was told

it couldn't be arranged in time, he decided to hide his medals under

his grey coat and set off to France without telling anyone.

At 90, it's not an easy trip to make and Bernard did forget

But after making friends with some young

soldiers on the ferry and joining in with some singing on board the boat,

he was befriended by a collegue and made it to the celebrations.

He had a really good time meeting friends.

The message I have got back from him if he's looking forward to going

back next year with the same veterans from Brighton.

On his return back to the UK today, Bernard told the press

He's now back at his care home where he's having a

well-deserved rest and hopes to go back to Normandy again next year.

Ukraine's new president Petro Poroshenko has been sworn in

He won a landslide victory at the elections two weeks ago.

It's hoped a new leader can help stabilise the country

which has had lots of changes in the last couple of months, including

the region of Crimea splitting off and coming under Russian control.

There is still fighting in East Ukraine because some people there

Mr Poroshenko and Russian President, Vladimir Putin,

have agreed that the fighting in Eastern Ukraine should be brought

It's the final of Britain's Got Talent tonight

and all 11 acts will be hoping they'll be voted the winner.

One of the finalists is violinist Lettice Rowbotham.

She spoke to Ricky who asked her how she would feel if she wins the show.

I would be so overwhelmed and so happy if I did win. I would be so

grateful and I think it's important if you are about to perform, not to

be nervous and really enjoy it and go, this is really fun. I'm going to

go out there and try to make people smile.

There's a full list of the finalists over on the Newsround website.

And you've been telling us who you want to win.

Camilla in Oxford says, "I want Bars and Melody to win because they're

Emily in Daventry says, "Me and my sister want Paddy and

Nico to win because it is different and you would need a lot

And Phoebe in Surrey says, "I want Darcy Oake to win because a

magician has never won the show and what he does is mind-blowing!"

Next, it's the addictive, yet simple game that keeps hundreds of millions

We're talking about Tetris and this week it turned 30 years old.

Ricky has been taking a look at the key to its success.

It's a game of moving around different shapes made out

of four blocks to fill a full line which in turn disappears.

It's a simple idea, but 30 years after it was first developed,

I've been playing the game for 25 years.

I feel very relaxed about it when I play it and I'm really passionate

about the game. Tetris was created in 1984 in Moscow

by Russian scientist He decided on its name by combining

the Greek word for four, "tetra," Its popularity soon spread and in

1989 the Nintendo GameBoy launched The handheld console sold

around 35 million copies. Even now you can still play Tetris

on your phones or tablets. How come it's still such a popular

game? Simplicity. Modern games are very absorbing and time-consuming

but something like this you can pick up and play for ten minutes and if

you want to do, you could play for hours because it's a very good game.

Its catchy tune might have helped too.

To celebrate its 30th year, the game reached new heights by being played

And now to a touch and go tumbling tower that suffered

Instead of the usual explosives used to knock down huge buildings,

two men in the Belarusian city of Zaslavl decided to use a masonry

Perhaps not the safest way to demolish something

Luckily the men had just enough time to run out of harms way

That's all from me today but I'll be back tomorrow morning at 8.55am.
